Thumper

First campaign appearance: Shards of Honor 44.0 "A Card to Play"

Lieutenant Thumper

VNY's notes:

Thumper started out his career as a kind of predecessor to the "Drop Marine" concept, so when Gunny Lexics opened applications to cross-train as one of "his" Rebel Legion Drop Marines, Thumper jumped at it even faster than Razak's Roughnecks did. He had so much fun that he took the training course a second time a couple of years later, apparently sporting a different hairdo and swearing up and down that he was his own podmate.

I dunno if Yeager would ordinarily have caught it. Yeager was on the jazz more often than not in that time period. The Long Night wore away at him.

Anyway, once the shiny wore off Thumper's "drop into action from high orbit" hobby, he got onto the waiting list for Razak's ARC training regimen. Where Sparks like "nine hundred new uses for grenades", Thumper was all about "it USED to be my enemy's tackle but now it's MINE".

Alas: he combines that idea with "anything you don't have on you when you return to HQ is something you do not have to hand over to the Quartermaster".

If Thumper yells out "Fire in the hole!", make sure your cover is strong, because that might not be a grenade he is using as an explosive.

Once he finished his minimum time on the Roughnecks roster, Thumper signed himself up for Environmental Hazmat training. Was this a great idea?

Absolutely!

Social

Contacts & Relations

The Beskar Aran have close, private, strong ties to Gregor Vortapani and Katianna Vortapani, which they are extremely careful to keep circumspect. Only an ego-driven idiot would suppose that this loyalty travels in a single direction. The higher-ranked the member of the organization, the closer is the tie to the Imperial Family.

Anyone who knows what a "chaplain" is, knows that Jedi Knight VN Ysadora and Knight Errant Davish Tam will answer a call for support from any Beskar Arran. Anyone who knows the little phrase "the clone's Jedi" would also know that "Vanya Ysadora will pause almost any other work to appear out of the empty space if one of the Roughnecks asked."

If it's a niche specialization in your average military formation, Thumper probably knows enough about it to have an intelligent conversation with those specialists. He has a collection of minor favors owed him across the Tapani Imperial armed services and the former Rebel Legion.
