Background
Faolan's family is a loveless matchup of two people who were mutually beneficial for each others ambitions. His father Dave is a Guardsman, his mother Artemis was Scientist with political aspirations towards the Council. That is until she got floated for treason. She was a bit too good at working up people's emotions on the campaign, and started a small riot more by accident than design. It was determined it was the start of a coup, so off she went into space.
Faolan's childhood was unhappy, characterized by angry resentment at his mother's floating and trying to live with his father's strict ideals of discipline. It was arranged from early on that he was to step up into his father's footsteps and make a proud career in the guard.
Faolan's best friend was Jane. Jane's father had been part of the riot, too, and got floated together with Faolan's mom. They bonded over that. Faolan's father tried to make them stop, thought it sent the wrong signal for two children of traitors to spend time together. Faolan didn't care.
Faolan's crime was manslaughter. He got them into the Armory, the booze was Jane's, and the accident came while teaching her how to shoot. She'd been demanding it for ages, and its hard to turn down your first love when she looks you in the eye and begs. He doesn't remember the details clearly, but sometimes in his nightmares she's trying to shoot him and they struggle over the gun. But that's impossible. They loved each other.
Faolan was going to become a guardsman. Originally he despised it and rebelled against his father, but slowly he realized he just had the talents for it. A natural air of authority to calm others with, a sharp eye for things that just didn't sit right, and a bastard of an ability with hand-to-hand and the shock stick. He was already a cadet when the accident happened.
Faolan goal now that they're on the ground is restore civilization, to take back Earth from the savage brutes that are now controlling it.
