Alright, decided who I'm going with.
Name: Abner
Full name: Captain Abner White
Source: Omniverse Original Character (or Star Wars?)
Appearance: Abner wears green BDU pants, black boots, and a grey t-shirt. He wears a black bulletproof vest as well, but only because it was issued to him and happens to have extra pockets for storage. He frequently complains about how hot the damn thing is. He also wears a black ballcap with the Imperial logo on it. His face is scruffy and unshaven, and if he's not smoking a cigarette he's likely chewing tobacco dip. He speaks with an accent associated with the rural American southeast. One would be able to correctly guess upon looking at him that he is in his late 30s, most noticeably his black hair is showing bits of grey in it.
History: Abner has been an Imperial stormtrooper for a long time, as well as a soldier in his world before arriving in the Omniverse. He served on many missions and is well known as one of the Empire's best "normal" stormtroopers, in that he has no extra powers and is not a Prime. That said, he's slowed down considerably the past few years. He'd like to take a break from being a front-line soldier, but he doesn't have many other marketable skills. He's seen and done many things, and now he's become somewhat tired of it all. He has worked as a stormtrooper in the Nexus for the past several years, having to deal with both new Primes as well as soldiers from Camelot. He was sent to the Nexus to help recruit Primes to the Imperial side after it was decided that he might not be the best at patrolling in Coruscant. This didn't work too well, as he was much more interested in simply surviving than actually recruiting Primes, unlike some of the more eager, younger troopers. He has now been reassigned to the special operations section, with his superiors hoping that his unorthodox skills and methods might bring some success in some unusual operations.
Goals and motivations: Abner would be more than happy to simply retire and fade away, but he has a long time left before that happens. So for now, he's content to do his work and be a soldier with as little effort as possible. The only real goal he has is making it back home at the end of every mission.
Why do they want to find Omni? He really doesn't. But his mission from the Empire is to investigate and follow up on rumors that there's a way to the Oververse, and they pay the bills. Should he actually reach Omni, he would have to re-evaluate his priorities.
Personality: "Doesn't give a shit" appears to be the easiest way to describe Abner. He will do his job with as little effort as is needed to get it done. That said, he'll never leave something unfinished or in bad shape, he's just not the "extra mile" type. He is very laid back and relaxed, and he rarely gets worked up over anything. The flip side is that he is fiercely loyal to his allies, after he warms up to them. He will fight for them and do anything he can to help them out. If they make a questionable or unwise decision on the quest, though, he'll be the first to tell them that he thinks they've done wrong, in his own (colorful) way. One of the reasons he was sent away from Corsucant is that if he has an opinion that isn't very politically correct, he's not afraid to speak it out loud.
Possible Reactions: Whatever crazy life story anyone has, Abner's not impressed by it. He's seen and heard it all already. Whatever crazy enemy or challenge is thrown at them, he'll take it in stride. If one of his companions gets on a long tangent about their past, the others will likely see Abner shaking his head somewhere nearby. He's a believer that when it's it's his time to die, then it's his time. That said, he won't dive headfirst needlessly. If the quest gets too hard, and people begin dying rapidly, Abner will gladly speak up and say that it's time to go back. If he can't convince his team to turn back, then that's fine by him, he's liable to leave on his own. If there appears to be no other alternative, he will press on, grumbling more than usual about it.
Relationships: Abner knows many Imperial soldiers, from high to low ranking, simply as a result of his tenure. He's also met several Primes in his time in the Nexus and is also on friendly terms with some Camelot soldiers, preferring that over the possibility of violence breaking out.
Combat Style: Abner typically operates at long range with a rifle or a pistol, but if he's forced to he can survive up close with his hand to hand skills or his combat knife.
Skills: Despite his apathetic personality, Abner is actually an incredibly skilled hand to hand fighter and an expert shot with a pistol and a rifle. He is a great tracker, having grown up a hunter. He has plenty of survival skills that pertain to long missions away from backup or support.
Extra: Abner has one appearance already, in this post during my alt's arrival in the Omniverse.
Possible Quotes: Not exactly a quote, but he is pretty well known for his exasperated and annoyed sigh.
