Meercrat (???)
Meercrat is a stern, tough, orderly, middle-aged guy who's fallen from his glory days hard and fast. He was the Academy's famous darling for decades, but when he hit fifty, he was replaced with a younger, less rigid recruit. He made such a scene that he was eventually demoted farther and farther until he wound up at the Nestarican, a broken, bitter old man. With some laughter and some love, he's gradually recovered from his devastated state, and finally learned to relax (though he'd rather die than say so). He's really a softy at heart, and as much as he snaps at Shelty, puts alot of faith in her. Meercrat is the ship's cook -which he's really rather handy at-, the official commander(though in name only, he gave up real command to Shelty a long time ago), and guns master. Nothing can outdo Meercrat and a good sturdy machine gun. Still, he dreams of showing the world that he's still worth something.
~Note: Meercrat's real name is still yet to be discovered by any of the crew.
