Default Re: [OOC] The Voyages of "The Hiawatha" [Hero Class] : GURPS Traveller

Senior Chief Julio Wu, formerly Master Chief, Terran Navy, Marines, does not at first sight appear the troubled man he is. Big, strong, good looking, gifted with the voice of a tenor, he looks like he should be walking the sunny side of life. But a gloomy shadow from the past seems to follow him. He served with the Terran Navy Marines as a technical specialist, Entry and Obstacle Removal. Inofficially he also served as a translator, due to his obvious knack for the Vilani language. Early in the war, his ship, the Sweyn Forkbeard, a commerce raider, was preying deep behind the enemy lines. It didnīt take long for disaster to strike - they ran into a trap. According to the log that eventually reached Terra some radio source on the ship broke communication silence and altered the Imperial Navy. The Sweyn Forkbeard gave a good, but desparate fight. Only a few crew members survived the destrcution of the craft, Wu among them. Instead of taken prisoner, a high ranking Vilani officer forced him into his service as a personal valet and translator. This experience and the following years in Vilani service, surrounded by enemies, without any chance to escape, left him mentally scarred. It was only the invasion of Nusku that freed him from servitude.

He doesnīt talk about the time before. And it looks like he is actively trying to forget, as if some terrible secret haunts him. The method employed is quite traditional: people have been drinking to forget for millenia. This has already begun to take its toll on his body. Its plain to see that he hasnīt been this chubby before. And although he sings rather beautifully, having him sing to himself during work in High Vilani is rather annoying. Years pf exposal to Vilani culture seem to have effected him: he does things by the book and isnīt particularily interested in anything else.

Despite all this, his inside knowledge of Vilani culture and language is invaluable and very hard to find or acquire. Additionally, he knows his way around a starship, with the specialty of making his way, by blowing things up either from the inside, or, being crosstrained as a gunner, from the outside. Also, a Marine technician is still a Marine.
