Payless

"The jackalon shifted in the Federation armor he was currently wearing. It sucked. It didn't fit right, and the fabric portions interacted with his fur to trap a lot of heat, making it uncomfortably hot. But still, an assignment was an assignment."

Payless Shuster is a Freelance Mercenary who mostly takes on small time assignments.

Personality
Payless is a rude and bitter person with little qualms morally to do the work he does. Examples of things he doesn't like which show off his crankiness include: pets, children, ice cream, people telling him to follow safety rules, and more.

He's also more cowardly than he wishes he was and isn't good at following orders & directions.

History
He was born and raised in the famous Twin Cities of planet Minnopop's chilly northern region. He considers both Metronut and Metrobolt his hometown, even though only Metronut is his birthplace.

It's currently unknown when and how he entered into the mercenary trade. What is known is his streak of bad luck that keeps him from being considered for the big time assignments. A dropped blaster here, a client down a manhole there, and the infamous baked ziti incident (he does not like to talk about this). Rather fittingly for his name, he thus walks a financially perilous line in life, making meager money for the assignments he does manage to complete.
