Steelberg, Ryan, born Houston, Texas, United Americas, 2158. Steelberg was a mediocre student in school, and paid little attention to his studies. Ryan went through High School starting social conflicts for his own enjoyment. This ended up in Ryan having few friends, but good ones that he didn’t brawl with. However, this landed him in trouble over time once a politician’s son had a rough encounter with Ryan. He was given a choice by the politician, Military Service, or he would press charges and land him in a state penitentiary . Not wanting to totally waste his life away, Ryan chose good ol’ Military Service, so at the ripe age of 17, Ryan enlisted with the ‘permission’ of his parents.
In boot camp, Ryan proved to be a good shot, and excellent at Close Quarter Combat, tailoring to a preference of Shotguns, Incinerators, and Hand to Hand. Managing to get out of boot camp with minimal issues, Ryan was on a good road to maybe not dying on his first deployment. Ryan was stationed aboard the USS Almayer, a deep space vessel for outer rim colonies of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation Colonies. Ryan managed to do quite well in the United States Colonial Marine Corps, managing to get the position of a Smartgunner after 4 years of service, which he did for around 3 years. Eventually after that, he was promoted to a Combat Specialist, preferring the heavy duty incinerator, but was competent with the other official loadouts as well. Shortly after that, 2 years, he was elected as Squad Leader of Delta squad. Ryan did well in this position for the year that he lead. He met many interesting fellows along the way. Malcolm ‘Holdout’ Allister, who he met in bootcamp, Adan Howard, some fuckface that got the same shitty deployment, Tanya Hernandez, some kind MP that Ryan met along the way. Oh yeah, and that one RO that always gave me a barrel charger for some reason, what was her name again? Rain Winterson! That's right!
However, one fateful mission, his squad was ordered to assault a terrorist position, it was heavily fortified, and even though they were armed with outdated, cold war weapon, his squad was decimated, only 10% of his squad living. Ryan confronted the Commander aboard the vessel, Bill Carson, and said some, ‘kind’ language, and got a little too handsy. This confrontation ended his career, permanently. He was shortly transferred to a Deep Space Prison full of murderers, theives, and other deep space scum. This prison complex was conveniently warden’d by a close relative of sweet Commander Carson. This stay was not a pleasant one for Ryan, and shortly lead to a long stay, which was based more on punishment, lots of it, most of it fairly illegal, than actually getting these people ready to go back to ordinary life.
