Character

Character Name: Brian Von Hammersmark aka 'Captain Brian Anvil'
Concept: The Captain
Heritage: Terran

Backstory: Brian Von Hammersmark is the fourth son of Admiral George Von Hammersmark of the United Earth Government's Fourth Navy Fleet. Brian and his father had a falling out nearly a decade ago after a defeat at the hands of the Martians. Brian was captured when his destroyer, the Argosia, took a railgun shot to the primary cooling fin, disabling the ship entirely. His crew was captured and George wanted to negotiate for his return and his return only. But Brian would not allow himself to be released without his crew, which cost the UEG greatly. The conflict with the martians ended a few months later while Brian was still in recovery. He was dishonorably discharged for doing the honorable, but not profitable or political thing and left Terran space in secret. He has been operating ships in the belts ever since.

Personality: Aloof, relaxed, and highly overqualified for what he's doing, Captain Brian leads by example, not by orders. He is brave, cunning, and willing to swallow his pride and run when the situation calls for it. All traits that make for a good belt captain.

Decription:

Grit: 6

Attributes:

Personality: Leader

Traits:
Physical Scars: Brian has prosthetic kidneys, and an artificial hip joint from his near death aboard the Argosia.

Hooks:
Dark Past: Brian changed his identity to Brian Anvil after fleeing the Terran military. He keeps his past a secret and doesn't often use video chat as to ensure that his face doesn't get around much. But in the ten years he's operated in the belt the Terrans haven't come for him, so apparently they either think him dead or don't care to come after him and risk political hurdles just for an AWOL charge.

Flaw:
War Wound: The loss of the Argosia weighs heavily on Brian, but not as much as his injuries sustained when the ship took the hit from a Martian rail gun. He is in near constant low grade pain, and his joints were never fully healed due to him fleeing care from his sick bed.
