Hello Daggers!
Welcome to the Crimson CHOW (Character of the Week)! This is a biweekly challenge which was created as a way to hone your skills in design and character creation, in a fun and competitive way. Each challenge, we will give you a short character prompt and it is your task to interpret the character as you imagine it, with your own unique spin. The winner will be chosen through a poll in the finals thread, and in addition to being able to pick the next challenge topic, his/her piece will be featured in the "Crimson Champions" Winner's thread!
This week's topic has been written by the winner of CHOW #6, Homerid!

Once the biggest starport in the galaxy, the Aquila Space Station was now an indescribable wreckage. Only one fighter had left the docks in time to avoid the blast radius and pursue the unidentified craft. With alarms buzzing inside the cramped cockpit, his vision focused on the strange vessel and his grip tightened around the controls. "You'll pay for this"
Your task: Design the last pilot of the Aquila Fleet. (OPTIONAL: Design his spaceship as well)
Guidelines:
Deadline is Sunday, December 14 @10pm GMT
