Character History
Kit is from the relatively
obscure Davion world of Kentwood. To listen to him talk about it, it's the only
place in the Inner Sphere with trees. An arboreal paradise with no industrial
base whatsoever, Kit's home-world is decidedly a back-water. Thus, he grew up
free and happy, learning as his parents had to sustain himself with Kentwood’s
bounty. He might have spent all his life there were it not for the arrival of
the JumpShip Grant.
The Grant was one of the Vagabond Schools famous for traveling from world to
world improving the Federated Commonwealth's literacy rate. With little more
than a greeting and a promise to return in a year, it dropped a converted
DropShip full of teachers and learning materials.
These lessons opened a whole new world for Kit, or rather, a galaxy full of
worlds. When the Grant did indeed return, he bid farewell to his old life and
joined its' crew to give others the opportunity to see things anew as he had.
Unfortunately, this step into a larger universe also had its' costs. When his
savings had run out and his FedCom salary was cut, Kit had no choice but to find
another job. As jobs in the forestry industry were few and far between, the
military was Kit's best option. To his surprise, he excelled there, too. It all
went by in a sanguine blur: Basic training, AIT, duty against the Clans, more
training, more dangerous duty assignments, and suddenly, peace.
Once it was all over, Kit worried that he'd changed too much to go home again.
He tried a stint in Kentwood's garrison, but even this had soured because of the
FedCom Civil War. As he had no desire to stand against people he had considered
friends and allies, Kit's moved off-world again, and found a posting with the
Shadow Lancers.
Since he joined up with the ‘Lancers on Kyeinnisan, things have once again been
looking up for Kit. His first goal of undoing the damage of a years’ worth of
“slumming around the Inner Sphere” was accomplished in a dangerously short span
of time. Under a difficult training regimen, he dropped nearly thirty kilograms
in two short months and is in better shape than when he left Cestus Academy.
Despite his current posting as a MechWarrior, cross-training with the company's
NCO staff, security, and the technical personnel has brought all of his old ‘leg
infantry’ skills back to fighting trim.
On 27 FEB 3070, Kit's achievements in the unit were recognized by a promotion to
the rank of Sergeant, and more importantly the posting of Lieutenant (Junior
Grade) Thorstein's Lance NCO. Thus far, the styles of the two men have meshed
fairly well, allowing them to avoid total failure in the "Garrison" contract in
the Draconis Combine relatively unscathed.
On 11 JAN 3071, after the former Executive Officer (Lieutenant Senior Grade
Woochnya Myhaylovych) and former Quartermaster Nelson left the 'Lancers within
hours of Operation CM-PA-06-01 (Data Classified), Kit was put in charge of
making sure the unit got it's equipment, effectively making him acting company
quartermaster. It seems that because of his apparently irrepressible
personality, Kit excels at even the worst work Captain Kerran has to throw at
him.
Kit has lost only one 'Mech to date, a PXH-6D Phoenix Hawk. He's since proved
he's worth more than it was, having purchased a TR-1 Wraith with the proceeds
from his work as a mercenary with the Shadow Lancers.
Personality Profile
Usuallly, Kit's personality is best described as 'fox-like'. He's stealthy by
inclination and was made sneaky by training. Despite this, the young MechWarrior
is winsome, energetic, and quite loyal to those he sees as being on 'his side'.
For a mercenary, Kit has an unfortunate tendency to see the world in black and
white. At the present time (mid-July, 3071), colleagues and friends alike have
been expressing concern for the MechWarrior's mental health. Kit has been taking
an ever-increasing number of risks in the field, and has been notably
short-tempered for the past six months. When asked about his behavior, he
usually jokes that he has an allergic reaction to paperwork.
