Tito

dutiful reluctant mocking fearful casual
Tito serves as a private in the guard detail at Snowcap Base, International Space Command's South Pole outpost. The young Italian soldier reports directly to an American sergeant, enforcing security protocols during crises. He maintains a casual routine of reading comics and singing opera amid isolation, but snaps into action herding prisoners and relaying orders. Reluctance grips him when facing blizzards or unknowns, yet duty compels compliance—from arming up to fetching equipment. Mockery targets intruders' wild claims, revealing skepticism rooted in military routine.
