Ranger 8 / Fighter 2
Captain Garrett Sterling
Species
Human
Appearance
A rugged, weather-worn human man with a broad, rangy frame shaped by years of climbing ravines and sleeping beneath wet canvas. Deep sun-baked lines bracket his gray-green eyes, which remain unnervingly still even when the rest of him moves. His close-cropped iron-brown hair is streaked with premature silver, and his beard is kept short except for one stubborn tuft beneath his lower lip. Garrett walks with a quiet, rolling gait, each foot placed as carefully as if the ground might report him. His hands are scarred, square-fingered, and permanently darkened around the nails by bow resin, charcoal, and machine grease. The unexpected contradiction is his smile, which is unexpectedly warm and almost boyish when he hears a familiar technician laughing.
“Low, dry, and economical. Garrett speaks as if every word must survive a long march.”

Distinguishing Features
A pale scar runs from the outer corner of his right eye to the hinge of his jaw.
His left index finger is permanently crooked from the ravine collapse.
The soles of his boots make almost no sound on stone, wood, or packed earth.
A small brass washer hangs from a cord beneath his shirt, blackened by the collapse that killed his brother.
He smells faintly of wool smoke, pine resin, and machine oil.
Voice
“A low, weathered baritone with a faint frontier rasp, like gravel shifting beneath rain. When angry, he becomes quieter rather than louder.”
Clothing
A scarred ranger's coat stained with salt, mud, pine pitch, and old rain. Beneath it he wears practical leather armor reinforced with stitched strips of boiled hide. A heavy charcoal wool scarf covers his throat, and his boots have thick custom-poured sound-dampening soles. His gloves are mismatched, one made from deerskin and the other from black insulating cloth supplied by a vault engineer.
Body Language
Garrett keeps his shoulders low and his weight balanced over the balls of his feet. He rarely points, preferring a small tilt of the chin or a tap of two fingers. When anxious, he presses his thumb against the first knuckle of his left hand, feeling for an old fracture.
