Character
Aridius was new to the Academy, a young adult from the planet Archais- he was assigned to Training Company Bravo; it was gathered from other Recruits who came from the same sector. But all were vastly different- he was a loner, really. Sticking to himself during simulations, the endless physical training exercises and even during their occasional times of chow did he eat alone. His face was young, a strong jawline with black hair that draped over a pair of blue eyes. Aridius' form was physically impressive, lean, and strong as per the ideal Stormtrooper. He was used to his home; the Savanna, being able to walk the bush and live life. But it was the Imperial Star Destroyers that roamed over the skies of his planet did Aridius know his calling. Anyhow, the time the Stormtroopers spent together was nothing less of a boring blur to him. He had generally okay test scores, excelled at marksmanship but who else didn't? The Academy made sure that personal connections between fellow Cadets, especially /female/ cadets were generally off-limits. Being a young and physically fit male this was generally torture but oh well; it wasn't a big deal for him.
The potentially fated meeting of Slic and Aridius would be during the Force on Force exercise. Turning in live-blasters for training sims, they would be up against another Stormtrooper company; playing fake war. Aridius would be totting the heavy Rotary-Cannon as a 'Heavy Trooper'. He was strong enough to carry it around well without encountering many issues, but he was shy and that was that. Maybe this could be the squad Slic would be in too; or on the enemy side. "Remember- we're being observed by the Commandant of the entire Academy today; be on your best behavior. We do the right attack patterns, and to the book." The acting Student-Sergeant said, Aridius simply nodding in understanding.
