Sgt. Floyd Pepper backstory blurb
Right after he was born, Floyd’s mother left him with her former lover then went mysteriously missing a few weeks later. Floyd searched for answers all throughout his boyhood, and though he never found his mother he did find out the identity of his biological father (a Whatnot man who was hardened by a long career in the military). Floyd left his adoptive family, lied about his age, and joined the military as an act of rebellion and a vain attempt to somehow connect with his biological father. He was admittedly skilled at wilderness survival, but still decidedly unaccustomed to combat zones. He came back eventually, promoted, paranoid, and with a replacement leg (Muppet biology is interesting), that causes a distinct limp. He reconciled with his adoptive parents, but ultimately he left his father’s rustic eco-conscious desert dwelling (a shack with a pile of junk behind it and a hellforged garden out front) to start a new life for himself in the city.
