Appearance description (describe outfit, hair, eyes etc - 1 paragraph minimum requirement): Galen is a white male that wears his military uniform most of the time, however when off duty he normally wears a tattered leather jacket that he has torn the sleeves from and made into a vest and heavy duty cargo pants with combat boots and an IMC branded baseball cap. He has a very tall stature and is very well built from a lifetime of military service with brown eyes and brown hair, cut short to meet IMC regulations, and as long of a scruff as meets regulation. He also has a large IMC insignia tattooed on his left shoulder and an augmented right forearm.
Occupation: IMC Marine
Personality: Galen is a military man through and through and has a very hardened personality. He follows orders to a T and will expect absolute respect and honor from his soldiers. He loves earth and the IMC and will do anything he can to not only defend them, but also to expand them in whatever ways possible, even if it oppresses people of other worlds. He has a very large hatred for androids, but will put aside his personal feelings if he is tasked with serving in conjunction with an android. He is also very proficient with nearly all types of firearms from years of military experience and has at least a basic understanding of nearly all aspects of the military, including CQB, CQC, Use of explosives, etc. however, his expertise lies in the use of light and heavy machine guns as he is a large enough man to absorb recoil from these weapons far better than most soldiers on the battlefield. He enjoys spending time with his squad-mates, normally either in the barracks or in a bar. He hates space travel as most ships aren't large enough inside for him to remain comfortable, however loves spending time on mounted machine guns mowing down enemies. He has always struggled with losing team-members, and has started to avoid making connections too quickly in order to prepare himself in case they die in his arms or next to him of the battlefield. Overall, Galen is a marine forever, and would be lost without his beloved corps.
Personal History: Galen Carrik was born at 12:00 AM on new years day of the year 2064, during the coldest and harshest blizzard that the city of Chicago had ever seen, with snow drifts that blocked off entire sections of the city and had eliminated power in all buildings throughout the city except the better supplied government buildings and certain hospitals. This snowstorm was a testament to the strength that this child would have to endure throughout his lifetime, including multiple friends, family members, and even part of one of his limbs. This infant child had been born 14 years into the hell that was the first intergalactic civil war, and from the time he was birthed fought to survive in a cold and unforgiving world. At the age of 2, a military official in full dress attire rang the doorbell of Galen's 16th story apartment. As his mother Emma answered the door, the marine stood there and asked if he could enter to talk about something. Emma immediately realized what the news was, and started tearing up as she told the marine to come in and have a seat. The marine walked in, and continued to explain that Galen's father, a lifelong marine himself, had been killed in the line of duty fighting the Aquarii on the planet Proxima Centauri b, defending a NeuralNet facility that was under attack, and was unable to be cloned due to the destruction of the facility. Galen's mother broke down as she realized that she would never see her husband again, and that her son would grow up without a father. As Galen continued to grow up, he was informed of his father's life, and his untimely death. Galen grew up despising the Aquarii and their robotic armies, and grew up wanting to accomplish the work that his father was robbed of. When Galen graduated high school, he was entirely prepared to enlist in the Earthgov Marine corps, but he realized that the IMC was receiving more action and fighting the Aquarii more actively, and decided to join the IMC instead. He would eventually rise to the top of his platoon during boot camp and graduate with commander's honors that would grant him higher status right out of boot. He would continue to excel in nearly all areas of his training, especially in that of weapon's training, and always tried his best at every objective given to him, eventually taking part in multiple determining battles in the war, one of which he unfortunately lost his right arm from the elbow down after trying to throw back a grenade towards a BIOD unit. Overall, he felt amazingly proud of his service in defending earth, especially since he never once had to be cloned. Once the war ended, he was transferred around to a couple of smaller rebellions in order to snuff out the remaining pockets of the Aquarii and other miscellaneous rebellions. Eventually, he was ordered to the planet of Salvus in order to reinforce IMC forces there in case the incoming Keplarians were to cause trouble on the planet after the destruction of their own planet....
