Oh, goddammit, I wrote a bunch of stuff and then lost it all. So harsh.

Sherral.

1) Sherral is young for his rank, at least by Earth standards. When he comes in from canon (his current EP is two years prior to canon) he'll have been enlisted for about five years, having joined up as a direct-entry officer at fourteen, which is the Archadian age of majority.

Condescension or an implication that his age makes him unfit to do his job will result in a bad reaction, but will also just leave him a little confused, since Archadians don't make a big deal of age.

2) Pursuant to the above: He has spent a lot of his key formative years as a soldier (and essentially a child soldier, at that). He is not only quite socially awkward around civilians as a result, but also generally finds non-military life a little alien.

3) Pursuant pursuant to the above: He's still a teenage boy. He's a dork.

4) His morality is somewhat blue and orange. Archadian society is heavily focused around justice (and it forms a major idealistic drive towards expansion), but it's very much not Western Earth justice: The idea of juries, innocent-until-proven-guilty, appeals or moderation in punishments will just be bewildering to him, since in Archadia, the Judges (who are themselves part of the military) can accuse someone, judge them and sentence them without any oversight.

Like, imagine Stannis Baratheon's perfect society, basically.

5) He is in crazy good-shape. Like, peak physical fitness, Olympic-athlete fitness levels.

6) He sounds Glaswegian. His accent is quite thick, but most of what he says is perfectly clear to the average Archadian.

EDIT 7) If he had a spirit animal, it would be the fluffy Alsatian. This explains much about him.
