Wesley Richter

[Zapp]

Wesley was in boot camp for about a year and he had thought gym was pure torture. Once, a long time ago it seemed. He had been physically pushed to the breaking, and then pushed past it, his instructors not allowing him to break. The dormitories were sparsely filled; few new recruits wanted to fly for the military, more and more were joining the pirate legions instead. In that year, his gangly limbs only gained some muscle, refusing to grow more after a certain period.

He was also trained in piloting the Wrath, the mainstay of the Rheinland fighter wings. He was adept for it, and passed almost every test the flight instructors threw at him. When time came for him to be graduated to actual fighting condition, where he could be used in the field of battle, he was recommended for flight status by all his teachers. The notes were much like this:

Hes worse than worthless with a handgun, or any sort of firearm. The lad would more then likely shoot himself in the foot or his buddy in the back than shoot the enemy. I suggest he never be allowed to engage in any firefight.

His endurance levels while running the track are almost nil. He breaks down too easily, and he refuses to grow muscle. If he were to join the infantry, he wouldnt last a single battle. Also, a kindergartener could beat him in hand-to-hand combat. He trips over his own feet most of the time, and the rest of the time hes too busy not hitting anything that he gets beat up.

Of all the men I have ever trained in my life, he is the worst excuse for a soldier I have ever met in my life. I suggest he be put on cook duty, or made a janitor! In torture resistance training, he broke when I pulled the knife! Hes a [censored]

Hes perhaps the best damn fighter pilot Ive ever trained. He flew circles around light fighters in his very heavy fighter, and his aim is phenomenal. It was almost as if he was born in the cockpit. I suggest he be elevated to flight status.

After no little discussion, he was cleared to pilot a Wrath.
