Character Challenge 10: Traveller Belter

I have Supplement 4, of course, but I also have Mongoose v1 Adventure 1: Beltstrike. Which also has a Belter career, along with a cool 5K mining platform. And gas mining is a kind of mining, so in case I need a survivor on the mining platform for the upcoming game, I'll generate one. 

And I just realized I missed putting in "swift" in the last 1 or 2 challenges: I've already messed up!

Initial rolls are B9B745, and an odd roll for male. Someone who is large and durable, but not as well educated as most. Coming from the Belt, Casimer Fontaine grew up in the rough and tumble mining habs between Jupiter and Mars. Coming from a line marriage (something Robert Heinlein used a bit) he is used to a large family. While his family line-name is Fontaine, his family belongs in the Swift Mining Consortium, a grouping of 7 large families that mine in the main belt. There are several mining consortiums belonging to a larger guild of miners.

Picking up Mechanical-0 growing up in the mechanical confines, he officially joined the family consortium at age 14, becoming a worker. Vacc suit-0, Zero-G-0, Gun combat (laser rifle)-0, Comm-0, Astrogration-0, Pilot (small craft)-0. He does not get promoted - youth and lack of a solid opportunity prevented his family from advancing his rank. "But he is only a child" he heard far too often. Yet one of his friends got hurt in an accident, and Casimer managed to find out the culprit behind the faulty vacc suit repair, and gains Investigate-1.

The next term he is promoted to rank 1 from 0 and picks up a Trade (Space Construction)-1 and learns how to build and maintain space habitats. Casimer also took advantage of a fellow miner, putting her into a bad light, but it made him look better. Which helped in his promotion to Rank 2, gaining another Trade (Space Habitat)-2 skill level. He honed his Mechanical-1 skills as well. He also found a new strike, gaining another promotion to Rank 3 and the Prospecting-1 and a new trade Trade (Hydroponics)-1 as he started adding hydroponic bays to some of the habitats to improve air quality as well as food supplies. In his final tour of duty with his family, he is promoted to Rank 3, finally gets certified in Vacc Suit-1 and leaves for the mining station at Jupiter, where he becomes one of the maintenance workers, maintaining the station.

A big man, Casimer is very touchy-feely - he would rather hug than handshake. Being well over 6 feet tall and almost 300 pounds, his hugs tend to be very enveloping. Outgoing and a workaholic, he is often found in the hydroponic bays messing with various systems. It is the only reason he is still alive when our adventurers get to the station.
