Attributes

Personality

Chenk is passionate in his loyalty to Fleet, so much so that when he lost his left foreleg in (unknown battle), he opted to make his own solid-metal prosthetic instead of receiving a full bionic replacement. Bionics are not allowed on Fleet ships because of the damage electronics can cause to Human flesh when in punch-space.

Family

Chenk is the sole survivor of his family, all of whom died in a Purist terrorist attack.

  • Wife: Montana Marchenko (deceased)
  • Son: Castor Marchenko (deceased)
  • Daughter: Cassidy Marchenko

Friends

Chenk is closes to sergeant Kym Hansen, lead machinist on Keeling.

Reason for Keeling Assignment

He was told by Maia Whittaker that, due to his leg, Keeling was the only ship that would have him. Chenk wants to serve on warships, so he accepted her offer.

Identifying Mannerisms

  • Chenk can be crass in his words and mannerisms. He complains a lot about "the brass" and what he considers excessive drills.
