I'd decide on a race first. Have to see what their homeworld was. Their background generated during chargen, etc.

Nevermind. Thought this was Mongoose related.

He's a reincarnation of Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington (1912-1988) - an American combat pilot who was a United States Marine Corps fighter ace during World War II. He received both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. Legend has it that he was a tough, hard-living character known for being unorthodox. He was also a heavy drinker, which plagued him in the years after the war, and possibly contributed to his multiple divorces.

Go with both. Most Admirals daughtets aren't going to be seen dead with a vargr, let alone.one with cybernetics, unless......one os some kind of pheromone projector that artificially causes the poor lonely girl to 'go wild', embarrassing both herself and daddy. Question is, did our vargr sailor get the implant on purpose, or was it futted in with another system just to, say, 'teach the scoundrel a lesson?"
Ah, the old 'Career ended through unplanned lithobraking manoeuvre.' discharge.
With Starships, they give the paperwork to your next of kin...
Hmmm, sounds a bit like PTSD and the normal sort of self-medication that can go with it. Lots of vets carry that burden.
That could contribute to a loc soc: PTSD, the dependencies that are developed as a result, and the consequential behaviour that pushes down their social standing.
Greg doesn't seem to be a good example for PTSD. He was fairly much a narcissistic sociopath. He was, however, from "the brawling class" (Greg's own words, circa Feb 1986, at EAFB Officer's Open Mess.)
Drinking heavily since his youth. And seeing no harm in teens drinking. (To the point of buying boilermakers for myself and several other cadets at the JROTC Military Ball 1986... which he dropped into unannounced to the organizers (which included me - I was the door honor guard coordinator.)
Greg Boyington was still a vibrant and yet obviously narcissistic fellow in 1986. Why else crash a cadet function? (Truth came out later - GySgt Bradley had invited him to do so, knowing that several of us idolized him. Still, taking it up...)

A good example of ending your career on a major down note would be Captain Bode, captain of the USS Chicago at the Battle of Savo Island, who first encountered MIkawa's cruiser force. After having a torpedo blow off a piece of the Chicago's bow, he failed to engage Mikawa's force, and did not bother to tell the northern force of three U.S. heavy cruisers that there were enemy ships heading their way. The resulted in the US heavy cruisers Astoria, Quincy, and Vincennes being surprised by the Japanese cruisers and sunk before being able to put up much of a fight. Bode was relieved of his command, and consigned to a minor post in Panama, where he committed suicide. He understood that he would never be given command of a ship again, and would never be promoted. His career was over.
Dunno - Captain Kirk seemed to be down with the whole inter-species thing.
Well, with Humaniti, anyway.
