Stubborn, some at HC would say to the point of insubordination, but totally loyal. Not a subtle man, but will never run from a fight; hates the Nixon corporation for being willing to risk a civil war to line their own pockets at the possible expense of his men. Has a strong sense of duty and honour.

[ooc] hey flapjack, you DO know that electricity is a flow of electrons through a SUBSTANCE, and that a vacuum is a perfect insulator, don't you? So the light bolt cannon is a physical impossibility. Sorry to point that out. [/ooc]

ship approved

and last, space isn't a perfect vacuum, thus a lightning bolt cannon is possible and when you realise that i never mentioned how it got the lightning bolt onto the target, who says it doesn't fire a minute stream of particle to conduct the lightning bolt, or that it simply fires a bolt of supercharged ion particles, so, the lightning bolt cannon is not a physical impossibility
