Color me intrigued. I seem to fit the bill for your requirements, and I suppose with a bit of tweaking I could modify a character I have to fit into whatever universe y'all have set up.
Would a young roughrider Space Sheriff be an acceptable addition to your posse?

History:The subject grew up in the city of Toronto, Canada. His father worked as a lawyer in order to support a family of four. Johnathan is the younger sibling to his sister Margret. Upon reaching age sixteen O/F Shapiro entered the University of Toronto early, receiving higher education for a law degree in order to follow in his father's footsteps. His schooling was cut short by the beginning of the war, when Johnathan showed interest in the war effort, later joining the RAF through the Canadian Dominion. He was found adept at flying small fighter craft and was transferred to the British Isles for further instruction. Due to O/F Shapiro's intelligence and resourcefulness he was recommended by his superiors for Project Turin.
The Following information has been deemed Classified by Project Overlook.
Johnathan Hilmore Shapiro grew up in Marion Ohio USA with his mother, father, and older sister Margret. His father worked as a lawyer giving the family a fairly decent life even during the depression, and at sixteen Johnathan did indeed leave home to travel to Toronto Canada wishing to achieve a higher education in law. Shapiro was always a fighter at heart and was well known for getting into scuffles during grade and high school. His wild demeanor dulled slightly while in Toronto university, however the old vigor was reignited with the heightening tensions in world politics. In 1939 Shapiro graduated from his major in law, but instead of returning home he signed on with the Canadian military.
Despite the illegality of his actions, even with a degree in law hanging over his head, Shapiro joined the RAF in early 1939, completing his basic training later that year. Noting his particular skill in small fighter planes Shapiro's commanders transferred him to Great Briton to have him train to become a Spitfire pilot. Once there he finished his instruction with flying colors, and several new unexplainable tests before receiving orders to join the need-to-know Turin Squadron
The thing is, where did he get his feral desires? Did he grow up in an abusive family? Has he ever killed a living being, even an animal? He's going to have to be a slight cut above the average gung-ho bloodthirsty country bumpkin if he's going to go up against literal god-spawn of Cthulhu the dark lord himself really spooky eldritch horrors.
Haha Well I imagine he signed on to kill Germans not the god-spawn of Cthulhu... That one might come as a bit of a shocker to anyone, no matter how mentally strong they are.
Also I thought I explained his disposition in his character sheet, in this line "Extended evaluation concluded a strong fear of death in general from the subject and a desire to control death through killing the enemy, of which he has a great desire"
I understand that's kinda vague but due to they CS style it was the best I could do. Anyway, the mental condition he has is prescribed in Ernest Becker's book The Denial of Death as one of the ways certain people deal with the inevitability of death. Its nothing more than the product of Johnathan's fears and him trying to control it.
Anyway I can drop him down a billet if you want me too.
Well, it wasn't necessarily a final CS in case you wanted me to modify anything.
As for Johnathan's disposition against chemicals and gasses isn't so much a phobia but a strong fear of that particular kind of death. He'll keep his cool through most of it and just be very disturbed, unless it gets really bad.
As for his self proclaimed "killer" status, that's mostly just hot air. A surprising number of people join the infantry and other combat roles wanting to cause death, pain, and destruction, at least in my experience. Shapiro's feral desires were strong enough to deny a posh life in Ohio and risk his citizenship in the US just because of his eagerness to fight.
@BingTheWing I suppose that makes sense considering the situation.
I'll go ahead and bump myself up to Green Leader if that's okay. I'm guessing the positions are going Green Leader, Green 1, Green 2, and Green 3? I only wanted to be Green 4 because of the nifty little call sign that could've been with the Roman Numerals.
@BingtheWing I tried to do something a little different with this CS, and it didn't come out just how I wanted, so it'll be a WIP for now. Please let me know if you want me to change it to a more traditional CS or just change anything in general.

I’m really excited to get started with my CS, but first I would like to point out how unlikely it would be for an elite squadron to be made up entirely of fresh graduates. Wouldn’t it make sense to have some characters with combat experience, or will those roles be taken entirely by NPCs?
I was thinking of creating a terrorist style character in charge of a sect of fanatical fighters. Someone whose not just a rebel, but a murderous criminal as well.
