Information

Trivia & RP Hooks

Londinium born.
Spent 12 years in the navy working as an engineering tech on various ships and bases, met a lot of people, saw a lot of places.
Big rugby fan, often seen sporting the yellow and gold colours of the New Cardiff Wasps. Also known to play when the oportunity presents itself, usually as a front or second row.
Knows his way around hoverbikes and mules but definitely a fan of the bikes. Most of his spare time if not out drinking with his mates is spent tinkering with a bike. Owns a Honda Goldwing with a custom black and yellow paintjob to match his sporting loyalties.
Lived for about a year on Newhall between mustering out of the navy and joining DAS. Spent too much time at the beach andnot enough at his workshop though.
Has a strong Work Hard - Play Hard philosophy.
Veteran of the Battle of Bleeding Hearts - Fought, and technically died, at Eavestown on Persephone. He got better though.

Quirks

Allergy

Dinger has Celiac Disease which causes his body to react poorly to gluten. It shouldn't ever kill him, but ingesting it can lead to quite severe pain and associated foul moods.

Amputee

Having been badly wounded at the battle of Bleeding Hearts he ended up loosing his left leg just above the knee. He has fairly basic prosthetic and is currently in the process of learning to walk again, although he's still usually spotted with a crutch whenout and about.

Dead Broke

With a failed business and an ex-wife who took just about everything in the divorce, Dinger has nothing left in the bank. Not only that, but the live hard, play hard attitude of the naval enlisted means he never learnt anything other than blowing his pay on frivolities as soon as it hit his account. A three day millionaire in the traditional sense, only now he's no longer in the navy he can no longer rely on being away for the rest of the month.

Heavy Tolerance

One such frivolity that took a lot of his pay was alcohol. Not being able to drink beer he took to heavier drinks and rapidly developed a tolerance meaning he had to spend more and more to get the same feeling as his mates. A vicious cycle.

Attire

He's currently dressed in what could only be described as casual wear. A slightly battered 'Newhall Scuba Club' t-shirt shows off the muscles in his arms nicely while a pair of beach shorts does the same for his knees and lower legs. He has a decent tan that extends all the way down to his toes by virtue of a pair of flip-flops on his feet.
He's currently dressed in what could only be described as casual wear. This seasons New Cardiff Wasps shirt is a mostly black top with gold highlights, two thick golden bands running horizontally on each flank piece, and of course the Wasp logo on the left breast with NCW embroidered above and RFC below. To go with that he wears a pair of broken in jeans which have obviously been about a bit but are not yet holed anyway, and to finish off a pair of his old military boots are on his feet.
Dressed for work he wears a pair of pair of grey-ish purple coveralls with the DoS emblem on the right chest and his name and rank stensiled on the left. The coveralls looks to be relatively new, in that they're not work through or such, but there are enough grease stains to indicate that they're not just for show. Steel toe cap boots protect his feet, industrial grade ear defenders are resting on his temples, and a pair of safety specs hang from a lanyard around his neck for ease of acquiral if required.

Things the Matter in the 'Verse

The New Cardiff Wasps. Is there any calling higher than watching 30 men getting tired and muddy chasing a funny shaped ball?
And if there's no game on, then how about a ride? Surely freedom never tasted any sweeter. (Origin of the sketch.)
Civilisation. Where would we be without it?
