I got bored. So I fleshed out the 17 soldiers
These are the men from pyramid plasma who became the Air Force on angel. They were described as loud, crude, and unpleasant. Here are their individual quirks
Allan: the leader, had a wife and son, his favorite quote , Stercus accidit.
Gordon: Enjoyed photography. Irish immigrant
Thomas: closeted homosexual in an era when it was a crime, had a kind smile. Would sneak extra rations in for other soldiers. Lover of Gideon
Simon: clumsy, loved his sister’s plum cake
Edmund: avid reader who wanted to write a novel one day
Aldrich: sarcastic, calls people out on their bluff
Horace: quick thinker, witty
Herbert: very traditional and conservative
Gideon: party animal. Closeted homosexual. Lover of Thomas. Had sunset colored eyes (according to Thomas)
Alden: kept a dried rose from his girlfriend in his breast pocket when he was vaporized, had a collection of French postcards
Roy: jock, proud American who is now the cynical part of the angel
Charles: laid back
Lee: mixed race, got a job done, wants to see his daughter one last time
Ernest: devout Catholic
Ingram: wanted to own a farm, trusted with heavy lifting
Mannie: troublemaker. Hit with girls. Tried to set a swamp on fire once
Spessard: wanted a hickory cane, loved the Sears catalog, worked on the ray design, wishes he could shave one last time (the angel has no flesh)
