Job: Astronaut - Safety Specialist and Shuttle Pilot

Brief Background: Neil came up from the slums of a First Nations reserve. And for the first decade and some of his life, wasn't expected to go anywhere because of his lower income upbringing and the gang mentality of his peers. But peer pressure didn't bring him down, he worked to excell, and to persevere. Where his age group got into drugs and drink. He got into sports and math. He went to university on a sports scholarship but excelled in academics. So much so that the place he played for made exceptions for their aspiring player.

He went on to enter the military namely the airforce, and there again excelled, becoming a pilot of fighter jets. And applied for astronaut training as well. In between training, and his duties he went back to the reserve and gave talks to students about what he'd done, and implored them to look beyond the reserve and try to become more then just slum kids and look to their academics.

He got his go ahead to enter space training. And went through all that good stuff with gusto. When he was ready he was approached to pilot several missions, operating the shuttle quite well, and with the reflexes that befitted a fighter pilot. He went up on small missions at first, before being offered one of the shuttle pilot positions on the Prospect Horizon. There he ferried goods to and from shuttles coming in that were unable to dock or helping to maneuver larger pieces of the station or experiments in and out of holding positions on the station. He's spent three 5 months periods on the station on and off since he got the position.

Special Equipment: Five spools of safety cord, Back mounted thruster pack (one hour of fuel), small prototype grapnel gun with padded capture hook.
