(1st TML posting - hope this works)
Here's another NPC for the character lists...
Note: I use an alternate universe, so you'll have to
change the places and dates, and I also give
skills for adolescent years (another no-no :-)
Enjoy!

Personal History
During the period Timothy was still a fetus, his mother was taking
an addictive and harmful drug which was to forever shape the course
of his life. The drug, Cyrspasium hydrilexate 4117/82, called
"Spaz" or "Curse" on the streets, was a popular hallucinagen for
the times, and is still marketed in vast quantities by the
underworld. Its effects on the unborn, however, have proven fatal
in most cases due to a complete collapse of the immune system. Tim
was found to be dependent on the drug at birth, and on the brink
of death due to the unchecked syptoms of the common cold.
Through state-supplied therapy, the addiction in both mother and
child was cured. However, as a result of early complications, Tim
has a very unstable immune system, and thus extremely poor health.
In fact, the cold that he was born with has never subsided, and he
has lived with it and a number of other afflictions throughout his
life.
Tim's mother committed suicide only a year after his birth, and his
father was never discovered as the pregnancy was a result of rape.
Tim was placed in an orphan home until the age of seven when he was
adopted by a cousin of his mother's, Steve Crawford. Although Steve
was but ten short years older than Tim, he was allowed to foster
the child on the grounds of blood-relation.
Tim stayed with Steve Crawford and three other freinds in a small
urban apartment of Ridgecrest's poor district on Vili for four
years until the group broke up after Steve Crawford was killed in
a gangland war. Tim abruptly dropped out of primary school, but he
tested into secondary school and attended Ridgecrest 2ndary. The
experience was marked by violence and feuding with rival gang
members, yet despite the distractions, he did manage to stay in
school, and for his senior year he ranked in the top five percent
of his class.
After graduation from Ridgecrest, he applied for admission to the
Imperial Academy of Science and Medicine, and to Columbus College
of Vili with the idealistic notion that if accepted to either
school, he would be able to find a way to restore his immune system
to full functioning order. His applications were refused on both
counts. Then, through inside connections, he managed to secure for
himself a spot in the work-training program at Ridgecrest
Scientific Labs. There he studied Computers and Gravitics, but was
offered no opportunities for advancement. After four years he
reapplied for admission to IASM and Columbus, and applied to Indi
College of Biological Science and the Vili Spaceport Authority for
a job interview. Again, on all counts, he was denied acceptence.
That same year he was jailed for unlawful resistance of arrest
which constituted of simply running from two watch officers for no
apparent reason when called over to be questioned. The maximum
sentence of a year was imposed by the court.
At an age of twenty-three years, finally in desperation as to the
seemingly ill-direction his life was taking, Tim enlisted and was
accepted into the Indi Armed Forces. He was placed in Infantry
Recon at the request of his Recruiting Department and served a full
four years of training which encompassed primarily Mechanics and
Recon.
In 1105 he started his second term of service as an advisor for the
planetary watch on Vili in the chaotic districts of Ridgecrest.
