Pre-RP

A career soldier, Oswald definitely shows the signs of his service. Deep lines in his forehead, occasional scars and perpetually tired eyes give away some of the hardships. At Fort Ready he was often seen at the shoulder of his commanding officer or with a group of cadets. To cadets he was often stern or indirectly intimidating, part of his job there. On the flip side, he was been known to give wavering cadets supportive words when they're needed.

Around other soldiers he's usually very polite and cool headed.

Oswald has worked his way up from the bottom of the enlisted ranks all the way to Shoi. He took a small halt in his career to accompany his long time friend Scott Kaine into semi-retirement at Fort Ready, but they were both soon pulled back out to active duty.

Oswald has served on many ships with Kaine, and the two share much history. Currently they view this latest voyage as a last blaze of glory before finally settling back into permanent reserve duties.
