Jack Cooper

45

Jack Cooper starts out as a regular Militia grunt stuck doing the dirty work while Pilots get the glory. He’s constantly dropped into chaotic firefights with standard gear, pushing through long marches and thin defenses just to keep the real heavy-hitters alive. And even though he’s skilled, command still treats him as expendable. After hours, he studies Pilots obsessively: watching how they move, running simulation drills long after everyone else is asleep, and pushing his body past its limits trying to master abilities he technically has no right to train for. His knuckles are raw, his jump practice is unofficial, and his ambition makes him an outlier in a role built for complacency. The other grunts respect him as someone who actually gives a damn but to the higher-ups, he’s just another helmet in the mud. All he wants is a chance to prove that he belongs in the cockpit of a Titan, not stuck dodging the debris of someone else’s heroics. (The voice is for people that have a harder time reading)
