Sebastian Kruger is tall and lean, standing at 6'0". He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is fairly muscular (not a bodybuilder, but it is fairly clear he has some strength - more of an athletic build). He wears short-sleeved uniform as his arms are undamaged, outspokenly hating long-sleeved uniforms, ties and hats, and has a black dragon tattoo on his right arm. Under his shirt is a garish wash of scars from a motorcycling accident and sci-fi tattoos in an attempt to hide these injuries. 

Sebastian Kruger was born in Scotland to a Scottish-American mother and South African/American father, however has lived all his life between the US, UK and South Africa. His father was  a banker and so his family frequently moved between New York, Los Angeles, Johannesburg and London. As a young adult, 9/11 had a huge impact on Sebastian, and he decided not to go into the family business and instead lead a life of service, joining the First Marine Division and serving in the Iraq War, notably receiving a Silver Star medal for, against all odds, providing aid and medevacing a fellow marine under heavy fire in the Battle of Al-Kut.

Following his service in the Marines, Kruger joined the New York City Police Department as an officer in the 90th Precinct in Brooklyn. He spent a number of years on the beat, and was known as an effective and well-liked police officer in the community. He was involved in an officer-involved shooting when he shot a criminal robbing a store on his normal patrol route but it was found to be a valid shooting. Wishing to advance his skillset, Kruger joined the Emergency Services Unit (ESU) to become a tactical medic and qualified Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) technician. 

Following several years of service in the NYPD, Sebastian elected to join the ECPD. At Central division, he once again walked his beat and established a rapport with the local community. He quickly found EvoCity to be a lot more violent than his previous post, being involved in shootouts and other distressing circumstances daily. Kruger was evaluated for Combat Stress Reactions (CSR) in ECPD and put on counselling, however was cleared to continue his duties. As an avid motorcyclist in his spare time (he owned several sports and naked bikes) and amateur motorcycle racer, Kruger became an officer with the ECPD Highway Patrol, qualifying as a motorcycle officer and tactical pursuit driver in the Dodge Charger. Around this time, he was promoted to the rank of Corporal. 

Unfortunately, during this time in his career Kruger came to be involved in a major crash which put him out of the game for several months. On 24th August 2016, Kruger was responding to a routine call for service for a road traffic collision in central EvoCity on his BMW R 1200RT-P police bike, when an impaired driver ran a red light causing Kruger to crash head-on into the side of the vehicle and be thrown approximately 30ft from his bike. He was majorly injured in this accident, breaking both legs, receiving several fractures as well as receiving major road rash on his legs and torso. At the time, he was wearing non-department issue motocross-style body armour under his soft patrol jacket which provided some arm protection and as such these were not injured. It was considered by investigators that the spine protection of the non-issue body armour as well as an issued department helmet was the deciding factor averting his death in the incident and this led to body armour becoming issued to motor officers. Due to head injuries received in the crash, Kruger was comatose for several days and required months of physiology. Due to his lack of protection, Kruger's torso and legs are heavily scarred from road rash and skin grafts. He has attempted to cover some of this with tattoos.

 He did not return to police riding, but continued with Highway Patrol for several months after before transferring to the rural Marion County, Oregon Sheriff's Office hoping for a quieter career. Unfortunately, Kruger did not find this and Under Sheriff Lozano he was promoted to Corporal again in the Sheriff's Office.  

Kruger can be said to be an old man in a young(ish) man's body. He has seen things beyond his years and gone through experiences which have made him question humanity. An overall good officer with a sense of justice, he can be rather abrasive with his criminals. However, Kruger's true personality comes out when he deals with those who are vulnerable - he is a patient and caring man and will go to the ends of the earth to protect them. Kruger sees a side to criminals many other LEOs do not; reason. He often tries to talk to criminals and talk his way out of situation (receiving a medal from the President for a situation like this). He sees things from their perspectives and genuinely believes in the good in humanity. However, as a coping mechanism, Kruger is a fairly heavy smoker. As a massive biker and car guy, Kruger recently returned to motorcycling with a KTM Superduke 1290 R and does now wish to become a motorcycle officer again, a division that his agency currently does not have. Kruger recently also imported a Nissan GTR Black Edition from Japan, in white, to counter his best friend's black black edition, and can often be found in his driveway with Mark, working on his 1970s Dodge Charger project car. He also owns a storage unit at the industrial district where he keeps his other fun and project vehicles such as a Soviet military truck that he bought at auction "for a laugh".

"STOP FUCKING GETTING YOURSELF HURT"

 (not to be confused with the fud of the same name in WY)

"Car and motorbike, drinking, shooting and fishing buddies"

"Me and Frank go way back to the ECPD. Best guy to get shitfaced drunk with, and I thought Catholics weren't supposed to get shitfaced."

“My occasional (used to be full time) patrol partner (team pineapple go!). A cop with so much potential, and has matured into a true professional police officer.”

"One of the few people in this county with a clue of what he's doing. Keep it up buddy."

"A Brit like me, also follows the "roll up on call, tackle and leave before noone notices" philosophy. like me I can confirm that both myself and Hughes are incredibly professional officers and would never leave a call before anyone notices to avoid taking the report "

"Best chief ever and probably the reason I'm still in a job. Catch me for a drink some time Chief."

"Trooper (or Captain) Steel is an absolute legend, and if you're breaking the traffic laws you'd better fucking hope he's not on shift."

"Oh hey, someone who gets shit done when I'm not around <3."

Been a bit busy lately. Finally got time to get down for a shift and make some posts.
