Name: Joshua Palmer Sex: Male Age: 23 Nationality: British Class: Soldier Origin: Earthborn

Dossier Born to two high-ranking military officers who expected nothing less than the absolute best, Joshua was fated to become an alliance marine before he was even conceived. Growing up on the human homeworld, he spent his entire childhood mastering drills, military strategy, skill-at-arms, close-quarters battle and even bomb disposal. At the age of 22, four years after formally joining the alliance, Joshua was selected for N7 training- his parents were, unsurprisingly, delighted. He has a considerable amount of respect and admiration for Commander Shepard, although he is eager to see if the man is a match for the legend.

Appearance Joshua has short, dark-brown hair and blue eyes. He wears a suit of standard N7 armour into battle, but will sometimes opt for urban-combat fatigues. His Omni-tool is worn on the left.

Personality Having literally spent his entire life thus-far as a soldier, Joshua has a wealth of knowledge on all things military. He has inherited the values of his parents; loyalty, self-discipline, integrity, and the need to excell at anything he tries his hand at. When a particular activity takes his interest, he will study it tirelessly until he is not only competant at it, but an expert. He will often make light of dire situations, believing nothing is beyond his ability.
