For ability: when he shows up, he gets the job done either by having at least one kill per drop or helping us win.

Character Bio
Name: Justin "Booster" Brewster
Place Of Birth: New Zealand, Terra.
Date Of Birth: Feb 12, 3051 ( 21 )
Background Summary:
MEDIOCRE is the word that just about sums up Private Booster. Recruited by the 331st whilst on Terra with Word Of Blake, the means by which Booster managed to gain a place within the Minnesota Tribe Training Academy remain a mystery. His entrance scores were barely at the Minimum Pass level, and the fact that he actually graduated left several of his tutors perplexed. It's quite possible that the only reason he made it into the Minnesota Tribe was because of a genuine administrative mistake made whilst training papers were marked and asessed.

A barely capable pilot, young and inexperienced, this rookie MechWarrior has alot to prove. A wild shot, prone to "juicing" his energy weapons 'till they overheat, his grasp of battlefield tactics and strategems is minimal, to say the least. On several occasions during training, Booster has actually disregarded his Mech IFF transponders and safety interlocks and accidentally opened fire on his own lancemates. His ineptitude and clumsiness have made him a somewhat unpopular figure in the 331st barracks, consequently.

Nonetheless, for the moment he has shown some degree of competence with Mech maintennance, which many believe is all he is good for ( along with Sanitation Control ). Although he himself admits that he's "pretty much a moron when it comes to using the ol' grey matter, eh?", Booster does exhibit a strong work ethic and enthusiasm, along with a dogged determination with which he goes about his everyday tasks.

Whether time and experience shape this MechWarrior into a pilot worthy to wear the 331st insignia remains to be seen.
