Physical Description

Gustav is 182 cm in height and about 80 kg in weight and is like most of his own kind in average standings. He has black short hair and beard that has been known to many people that have either worked or served under him. Gustav's facial hair became a thing after he turned 35 and stopped taking off his beard because he liked the look of it and didn't care much for others' opinions on the matter. He has dark blue eyes that some people might confuse with brown if not looked at it correctly. Gustav has a well build body due to his services in his early years within the Nepleslian Space Marine Corps and to this day well-balanced exercises and training.

Over the years, Gustav manages to receive various scars and injuries that have defined various characteristic features of his. He has a scar on the top of his head, a scar on his right cheek and a scar on his right leg. Due to the leg injury he is notable to walking with a stick, he doesn't require to use the stick but without it, he would walk slower or a bit funny. Below his uniform, at his right upper arm, you will find a snake logo with 9th Light Infantry Division “Snakes” tattoo on it as well on his right chest the Neplesialian flag with his family the names Laura, Miles, and Keisha below it in an art form.

Personality

Gustav is, like most Nepleslians, a proud man that is to his bones loyal and motivated to his people. Originally a proud marine that served on various occasions the frontlines, Gustav knows very well what brotherhood means, what it means to stand face to face with your enemies. But after he got crippled at one battle, he got for a long time bitter and withdrawn, it was his wife Laura that got him back on his feet and he returned to become an exemplary naval Captain and later Admiral in service of the Nepleslian Star Navy. His motivation to fight, while greatly supported and built by his wife, is known and he sits back doing nothing.

On duty Gustav is a direct, cheering, and bold man that will do anything to achieve glory for his people. Gustav is one of those unique men that don't stand back if injuries, don't get demotivated by being outnumbered, glory can only be achieved when fought till the bitter end. Of course, he does his best to make every outcome to a favorable outcome and get his men safety upfront or he wouldn't be in services to this day, that's a thing to be sure about. To people that know him off-duty, he is a funny, open, and relaxing man that is always in for a beer if the situations call for it. He feels at his best when being surrounded by the people he dearly loves and is always in for a good sporting match of running.

Because he is a person that is pretty straight forward and quite bold in his actions makes him a less appealing person to put in front of political people. He doesn't mind hearing them out, talking with them, or explain something. But endless discussions or accusations are things that he hates and rather avoids chronically.

History

Pre-Roleplay

It was at the starting year of the YE 01 that Gustav came to the conflicted galaxy. He has seen many things under the care of his parents, Arther and Alessandra Glover. From a distance, he grew to a young man that joined the ranks of the Greens and entered their school at the age of 18.

With his time at the school over and behind him, he joined the ranks and started his career. There were many campaigns where Gustav was part of and even received his first scar on one of the skirmishes. But these campaigns didn't really put him into the spotlight, it was only at an operation against the blacks that his skills were recognized. He joined the ranks of the 9th Light Infantry Division “Snakes” to become one the infantry that would be placed into various tours, but the following is worthy to mention First Mishhuvurthyar War, Second Mishhuvurthyar War and Battle of Artume. At the Battle of Artume, Gustav got injured quite badly to his leg that even a medical fix would be able to fix. This brought him into a depression as he lived for the service of his people.

In his therapy he met with Laura, the two manage to pull him back to the road and they even became a couple from all the hardships that they both went through. Gustav acknowledge his limitations and joined the Nepleslian Star Navy. Due to his experience, he was already placed into a higher position than average naval recruit. He wanted to earn his way back up the chain and so he did, serving over the years he saw the events of the War Games in YE 36, Offensive Operations against Pirates, part of the attempts to secure the highly corrupt P1-6 "Freemud", the hunt on Vordachibean and various combats with the Interstellar Kingdom Of Kuvexia.

After the Vordachibean escaped, Gustav was made Task Force Commanding Officer of the “Ravage Hunters” that got reassigned towards the 3rd Assault Fleet. Word has now received that the Kuvexians are closing in on his homeworld and plead to Command to let his Task Force go. Gustav was one of the people that we're able to race to Nataria to help and halt the invasion of the Kuvexian forces, he managed to save some of his comrades that joined the battle in name of glory and honor 1).
