Name: Gunther Vandroogenbroeck
Age: 25
Country of origin: Flanders
Fluff: Some men go to war for faith. For ideals. For freedom. For justice. Family. For county or country. Because they are compelled. Because they have a death-wish. Because they hate. Because they fear.
These are all very fine reasons but they are boring reasons. So, who remains and what is the nature? The remainder, sometimes unremarked, go to war for the raw boredom of civilian life. Gunther is of that stripe: a boring person caught in a boring life now caught in the exciting savagery of campaign and war. Every day he smiles as he marches. Every day is a vacation from the boredom and general drudgery that civilian life brings. Plows? Cows? All of it totally droll and awful. War? Now, that sounds interesting.
