Lance Floyd

Berach Lance Floyd, known as just Lance Floyd, was a smuggler, privateer, mercenary, former UNSC Army trooper, and descendant of Riley Doyle who was well known in the early years of human colonisation for his humour and recklessness. Born on the colony of in 2367, he served a brief stint in the UNSC Army before being kicked out for disorderly conduct, and promptly turned to mercenary, salvage, and pirate jobs to make do. He earned a reputation for being honest and straight-forward, but also as an occasional troublemaker. In 2406, after a brief skirmish with a small armada of pirates, his ship was damaged and he was forced to go into prolonged cryosleep, drifting aimlessly through space. He was only discovered again in 2552, after a Kig-Yar salvage ship came across him. After managing to avoid enslavement, he began to once again try and find work as he adjusted to his new situation. He eventually joined Kuiper's Kommandos as a pilot and mercenary and would frequently take jobs from the Valhallan Defence Forces, often enough that he was granted honourary citizenship in 2557. 
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Lance Floyd was born on the human colony of Ballast on November 28, 2367, soon after its initial colonisation. His mother, the quadruple great granddaughter of Irish war hero Riley Doyle, was the security chief aboard the colony ship that had been dispatched to Ballast. Throughout his childhood, Floyd was able to experience the development and growth of the community and colony as a whole, something that would stay with him. He received a normal education, however, refused to attend college, against the wishes of his parents. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the UNSC Army.
===Military Service and Early Shenanigans===
Floyd's military career was short and relatively uneventful, only lasting two years and involving the occasional training exercise. However, after having an affair with the daughter of a well-established officer, Floyd was stripped of his rank and discharged from the UNSC. With what little money he had, he managed to purchase a gun and began attempting to hire himself off as a mercenary. 
He was eventually hired aboard a below-average privateer ship, called the Dimini, serving as a hired gun. This lasted a year before he was taken captive by a group of pirates. However, he then managed to gain the trust of these pirates, serving with them aboard their ship for two more years and eventually leading a mutiny against the captain, taking command of the ship, the Ummmagumma. Now, 23 years old and in command of his own ship and crew, he attempted to turn towards slightly more honest work, taking mercenary and smuggling jobs among the colonies.
