Tell us a little bit about your character:
He was born in the UPL, the predecessor to the United Earth Directorate in one of the few countries that was still not in the fold of it's nations where he was a career soldier and had happily married and had children. Eventually with the discovery of Protoss, Zerg and the revelation of the experiment to send all sorts of prisoners long ago and their arrival to Koprulu the UED was made, and the last few independent nations on Earth joined it. Richard joined the expeditionary force to Koprulu where he fought for earth and glory like the idealist he was.
However, the war got bad for the original Terrans and they fled. Richard did not make the evacuation to the battlecruisers but instead made it to some dropships which instead of going to earth went as far from the zerg as possible. Eventually he dropped off in Umoja where he ambled around as a bouncer and sat depressed that he would never see his comrades or friends again.
After a few years he got up and after some drunken flying left and right landed on Mar Sara, drifting about the deserts waiting to turn himself in to the first group that saw him be it the Raiders or Dominion. By chance it was the Raider's who took the man in and interrogated him as to why he came. He explained that there was nothing left for him, and he simply gave up on everything. Eventually, after much internal deliberation he agreed and grudgingly became one of the Raiders.
Now, he fights along the people he only a few years ago killed en-masse, although the Dominion is the same old enemy it was before. He doesn't have a single bit of the fanaticism and ideology of the other raiders, but in battle maintains a steady professionalism that got him to be a Lieutenant on Earth.
With the Purification Project on Earth there were no cybernetic nor genetic enhancements to be had, so he is in essence a "pure" human. However he does not lag behind the stimm saturated Marines of Koprulu, him being a career soldier, having a great and rich diet on Earth, so on and so forth. He has bouts of near suicidal depression and crying as his new home is "this God-fucked shithole they call Koprulu."
