Captain Largo – A Test in Character Description
By Chris Nance

Captain Largo was a fearsome man, deep in the brow and wreathed with a thick black beard that was kept tidy in some places while left free to the breeze in others. From beneath the wide brim of a deeply stained hat, his singular eye stared piercingly through you like he was evaluating your very soul. Where his other eye ought to be, a cybernetic lens twisted and focused, its tiny parts whistling and whirring as internal processors did the same. He was broad in shoulder and wore a more than elaborate sash over his crimson tunic, decorated with every sort of medal. I wondered how many he had actually earned, for a man of this type was seldom the hero. Still, he had a manner about him that was more than confident, a self-assuredness born of too much strife, too much death, too many comrades lost, but also enough victory. I soon realized he was likely just as much machine as man when he pulled his cropped cigar from his crooked mouth with a rusty mechanical hand and asked in a robust voice that ground against the wind, “What are you lookin’ at, me boy?”
