I'm absolutely down for gritty Sci fi mercenary shenanigans. For a character I'm thinking older guy looking for one last job to pad out his retirement. A real "kids these days" type. Like if your chain smoking, twice divorced 50yo uncle who complains about how millennials don't want to work was wanted by space interpol instead of just the sheriff in the next county over and could shoot the tick off a deer's ass from 100 yards away (or could when his eyes were a bit better).
