Training Regime/Story Requirements[edit]

A trained Animal Handler has to be able to calm and control animals he or she is both familiar with as well as the possibility of foreign animals. Many Stormtroopers are more inclined to stick to machinery, but biological transport is occasionally more appropriate and covert. There will be a variety of animals in a number of different situations.

For the story, the trainee will be tasked with several animal-centric tasks in several different environments; the situations and tasks are at the trainee's discretion. (1200 word minimum).

You gotta have a...a...mutual respect with 'er. Yeah. Talk soft so she knows you don't mean 'er harm, and treat her nice. Animals can be just as kind and far more loyal than people, and comrades too. She'll help you carry your burdens.
