----------------
Name: General Cadmar O’Chunks
Age / Species (at intro): 33 / human
Pronouns etc: he, bi
Personality: Warm and friendly. Cadmar O’Chunks has always been an agreeable, good-humored person. He doesn’t purposefully seek out the spotlight, but he tends to become the center of attention in a group through his projecting voice and natural authority, and his ability to make quick, efficient decisions in tense situations. As a soldier and commander his focus has always been on keeping his family safe. He lost confidence in himself after a devastating betrayal on the battlefield that cost him his soldiers and his beloved younger siblings, and since then tends to become anxious and skittish when he is specifically given a job to do. O’Chunks clings to the belief that justice will always prevail… And so he will be punished for his negligence during that battle.
Hobbies: O’Chunks likes to work with his hands. He carves wood to pass the time and has a surprising amount of dexterity for someone with such big fingers. He also enjoys telling stories, and has had years’ worth of practice with his favorites. Not much of a natural singer, but is able to come up with lyrics basically on the spot. Used to play a guitar-like instrument, but dropped practicing as he rose in ranks in the military.
Family / Friends: The O’Chunks family was pretty normal- an involved mother and father, seven children, of which Cadmar was the eldest. His grandparents were decorated veterans (and their parents before), so his father had also joined the military, which inspired all the children to follow in his footsteps. Cadmar was naturally friendly and outgoing, and made sure to personally meet and speak with all of his soldiers at least once. He was friends with many of his subordinates, but he was always closest with his siblings. He got into the habit of assuming responsibility for his subordinates’ actions after growing up with six rambunctious younger siblings, and this rather self-destructive habit carried over to his new family after he joined the Count’s team.
Timeline: O’Chunks was born in a world that is about the equivalent of Earth’s 70s (though with advanced medicine technology). The world’s weapons technology lagged far behind most other worlds that were as old and large as his. Military skirmishes were more of a strategy competition than a display of power, and so they never saw the need to advance beyond very efficient swords or arrows. Injuries were common in battle, and prisoners, but deaths were rare. He joined the military at 16, and spent his first several years in an academy for leadership training at his famous father’s recommendation. One by one, as they reached the required age, his siblings joined him, and their coordination and combined strategic capabilities made the family a standout team in his country’s military forces. After the youngest brother Alastair joined, the family was put in charge of the largest army, standing at a thousand men strong. Eventually, they were sent to attack a neighboring country over a tariff dispute. It was meant to be a quick shutdown, but one of Cadmar’s advisors saw an opportunity to reveal the O’Chunks father as a fraud who stole his coworkers’ documentation and published it under his own name while they were away at war. And so the advisor took Cadmar’s own reports to the enemy and devised a plan to humiliate the O’Chunks family. This betrayal led to the deaths of 999 soldiers, the most in recorded history, and Cadmar survived scarred and permanently unfit for battle. The war crime did reveal his parent’s lies, but it caused every country surrounding the offender to retaliate and led to the most violent war their world had seen in two hundred years. O’Chunks, about a year into his forced retirement, was approached by the Count and Nastasia. He interpreted their offer as a message from his siblings and decided to join the pair, if only to protect Nastasia from the addled Count’s erratic outbursts.
