I read through everyone else's background and I already passed my basic background with Alacrity. I'll try to make it clearer here

Phil lived on one of the moons about as far from alliance space as one could get. He was just a kid when his parents were killed and had to support himself. As a result he really never got any kind of formal education. He just learned the tricks of survival. Kill or be killed. See your enemy before they see you. That's what he lived by.

Heck, he lived so far out on the rim that he didn't even know there was a war. That is, until the alliance passed through his land. The browncoats had some sort of base or something. Well, he never really got the details. He just--happened to be wearing brown that day. It's not like he had money for cloth dyes.

Well, he had learned real fast not to let people walk all over you. The problem was, in an encounter with the alliance that didn't pay off. He was called a browncoat and tossed into prison. He ended up at Larkhill ((sorry, love the V reference)). He did grunt work for whoever would let him, but the truth was he always had one thing on his mind. He tended to follow the women around.

He had made a "friend" in prison who kept telling him about how he would have to 'rape' the women and how they would be cruel to him. He was so utterly dumbfounded when one of them was nice to him ((I am guessing mind-erased girl is best for this role)) that he forgot why he was there.

He immediately took on the task of defending them when needed and they would find it as easy as "do such and such" to see him walk over and do what was asked. He practically worshiped the girls, so when a fight broke out, it wasn't a surprised that he even turned on his own "friend" to protect them.

Now he was just glad they liked to keep him along. He knew enough to know that they knew better than he. He just did what was asked, and it seemed to work pretty well.
