[challenge] Backstory Challenge

[ajremix]

So it's JUST slow enough for me to put this up. It'll be the first of my (hopefully) monthly 24-hour challenges. If I can recall to do this on a monthly basis it'll be (idealy) on the first or within the first week of the month.

So this month's challenge is going to be backstory. Pick a character- whatever character you know (or think) I'm familiar with and I'll write a short drabble depicting their past however I see it. Because I probably won't be able to get to these as quickly as my previous challenges, you're free to pick three characters at a time. After I've finished all three of your challenges, you may pick another three. If someone else has picked a character you wanted to see a story of, you can still ask for them and I'll just do a different scene.

CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED BECAUSE GOOD GOD I HAVE SO MANY PROMPTS I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH MORE^^;;

It was probably a silly reason to get into it and he could certainly pass it off for a legitimate skill now but Hound, frankly, hated using his holoprojector as part of someone's battle tactics.

He didn't get a projector to fool someone, he didn't learn how to create and manipulate holoimages to make someone not see a trap that was there. He did it because captures just... well, they weren't enough.

A still image didn't have the same kind of form and texture life did. Vids didn't have the same dimensionality and smells that being there possessed. But Hound wanted to bring the wonders of life and new discoveries everywhere he could.

He didn't spend countless cycles experimenting with the play of light, each individual movement of an organic and enhancing his own olfactory sensors to get the smells just right to fool anyone or to show off. He just wanted to educated others, let them see whole worlds out there that they'd never bother looking at once if he couldn't bring it to them.

Hound wanted his skills with his holoprojector to inspire and awe. Not to distract while war destroyed what it was he loved.

Poor Hound. I don't know what else to say. You captured his conflicted feelings about the war well.
