OK ya'll, here's a character I made up about two years ago for Megatraveller.
Never played him, but I had a lot of fun just rolling him yp.
BTW: Mea Culp regarding the "Penn/Beads" deal. I *knew* that. :)

Story: Duke Admiral Milidran Pike is one of the most celebrated
and well-known members of the Imperial Navy. His career has
been long and strenous, but has at last produced the epitome of
an Imperial Naval Officer.
Pike graduated the Naval Academy with honors and went
to Flight School. His first assignment was Shore Duty, and he
applied to several schools out of boredom. He went to
Intelligence School, where he was taught how to weed out unfit
personnel from the Navy, and was subsequently assigned to a
Core patrol unit. Boredom set in again, and Pike went to
Command College, where he almost failed.
After Command College, Pike was assigned to a Strike
Squadron. Pike, as a newcomer, was given mop-up (boring)
duty and requested Staff College, hoping to make the
connections to transfer to Line Duty. After Staff College, he
spent one year with a lakadaisical patrol of reject pilots. He
transferred to another unit, in which he received his first MCUF
for singlehandedly destroying three Aslan fighters after his own
ship was rendered defenseless.
Pike then became a recruiter. The next year, he returned
to his patrol unit, and was promoted for destroying the brifge of
a pirate ship after the attack was abandoned. He ejected out of
his own critically damaged ship after setting it on a collision
course, and floated eight hours in the cold depths of space
before being rescued. He spent a year in retraining and was
given command of a patrol.
Pike commanded the patrol for two more years, in the last
of which he was decorated for making the patrol the best in the
Navy. He was then assigned to Strike Duty against Zhodani
bases, and commanded another patrol for a year. He accepted
demotion from command in order to be a wingman again, and
was subsequently awarded another MCUF for gallantry in
action.
Later tours included Training, a Frozen Watch, and Shore
Duty-during which he was promoted to O4 for turning a dead-
end unit around. He spent two years in Strike Squads, secretly
working for Naval Intelligence. A turning point in his career
was as an aide to Admiral Larson, who got Pike his long-
awaited Line Duty. Pike comanded a communication ship in the
battle of Vland IV, took part in a Strike Squadron, and again
took command of a ship, the destroyer Vendez. He ended his
career commanding a training station in the Spinward Marches,
and was given the title of Duke over the planet Maitz in
recognition of his long and loyal service. He holds an orbital
residence over his domain.
Duke Admiral Pike has recently left for points unknown in a
Merchant vessel listed as the Mildoru. His majesty did not say why,
although it has been noted that he desired "another go" at the
spacer's life.
