Background Information
Character History: Born in Amazonia, out in the middle of nowhere, he didn't have much and was always outside working with his mother in the fields. (His father had died in war as a foot soldier in the Terran Army when Howard was 2.) He'd go play with the few local kids that there were during slow seasons of harvest and spend time playing in the dirt.
He had discovered at a young age that he could move the things around him without actually touching them (and had lots of fun amazing his mother with dirt castles and floating balls of mudd, heh), and had never lost a fight (which he began getting into alot about the age of 12) because it was as if he could hear the immediate thoughts of those around him. He had a harder time with people much older than him but by roughly 20 he had become proficient in the manipulation of matter and focusing on an individuals active thoughts.
At 22, he decided to move away from home. He had finished his schooling and mastered his abilities enough to have impressed a local recruiter and was quickly taken to the Navy Academy at Paradise. After 4 years of constant training it was decided that he was fit for deployment on New Avalon. From there, he steadily moved in rank over the next 6 years, taking command of a spec ops recon team (SEALs) to infiltrate the Divini. On a high priority mission he had volunteered for his team was ambushed and he himself only barely made it out alive. He arrived back on New Avalon without the information he had been sent to gather and with his transport in pieces as he careened off the deck into a passing mech, resulting in a broken leg. Luckily that was the only wound suffered in the crash, though he soon endured extensive surgery to remove the shrapnel he had received during the ambush.
He was allowed a years leave to recoup and get over the battle anxiety after losing his team. He took the time to relax and focus on improving on the abilities that should have saved his team from massacre.
After the year out to relax and improve his focus, he chose to reincorporate himself and for 10 years he worked once again through the ranks, until finally taking the position of Admiral on New Avalon after the previous, a close friend at this point, had retired.
