Mental characteristics
Personal history
Comet grew up in the cavern of Dusty Dugout with his mother and father on their family farm, where they raised animals for food, such as Guinea pigs. They also provided valuable crops for the town, as Dusty Dugout didn't have a hive to take care of such things. Comet spent a lot of his time helping out on the farm with his father, and he'd even learn to tame and ride rodents like jerboas.
However, the farm was raided by a group of bandit raiders. Comet, a boy of only 15 was helpless as he and his family were tied up and forced to watch the bandits steal their crops and slaughter the animals. At the end of the devastation, they were left with nothing. There weren't enough crops, meat or milk to feed the town. The town suffered a great loss and rough year with little food to go around. A few residents were unable to make it through the whole year and died.
Even though years would pass, repairs would be done, plants would be regrow, the farm was never the same, being out competed by the Termite Hive, which seeing a weakness in the town started weaseling in a trade deal. It left Comet's father bitter. Soon he'd get word that the same bandits were outside of town again, and in revenge, he set fire to their encampment. One of the only survivors of the fire would be Rawhide, who would track Comet's father down and murder him. Comet witnessed the murder and vowed to take Rawhide down, but was unable to catch him before he escaped into the night again.
This inspired Comet to leave the farm to become a deputy in town to learn how to fight and protect the people he cared about. Eventually, he'd be promoted to sheriff, where he'd continue to keep an eye out for Rawhide and bring him to justice.
Personality Characteristics
Savvies & Ineptitudes
As the name of his species suggests, he is skilled with a firearm, a weapon that's rare among miinu. He's known for being a quick draw with a deadly aim that no one is able to match. Though he tries to avoid killing when dealing with a criminal, he's not afraid to end a man's life it needs to be done. More often than not, he'll aim for a location to incapacitate his opponent, rather than anything vital.
Likes & Dislikes
Comet enjoys spending time with friends and is always down for a night at the bar. He also loves his animals and makes sure to take the best care of them possible. His favorite drink is a tall, cold glass of milk (Guinea pig milk, that is). The only thing he truly dislikes are people who try to disrupt the order of the town.
Personality
Comet is a noble and hard working man. He enjoys doing his part not only as sheriff, locking up crooks who cause issues in town, but also helps out the town folk with random projects. He's even kind enough to pay out of pocket for the damages caused by his fights with criminals. He's known to be a mama's boy and a gentleman around the ladies, being polite and respectful to them. He cares about the people in the town and wants to do whatever it takes to keep the town the prosperous community it is.Social
Family Ties
He has a strong bond with his family, and was devastated when he father was murdered. Even after being told of his actions, he refused to believe his father could be capable of doing the horrible things he was accused of. Since his father's passing, he's grown even closer to his mom, being a supportive figure to her while she deals with the grief and loss.
Hobbies & Pets
The jerboa he rides is named Meteor because she's fast her tale is reminiscent of a shooting star.
