Physical Characteristics
Height: 5' 7" - 1.72 m
Weight: 180 lbs - 81.8 kg
Measurements:
Build and Skin Color: Lean, Tan
Facial Features and Eye Color: Narrow features, Vision enhancement(ranging, night vision, thermal) over right eye. Eye without enhancement is ice blue, eye with enhancement is black.
Hair color and Style: Brown, cropped short in the military style.
Distinguishing Features: Likes to wear military-issue clothing, as well as harnesses, the more strewn with pockets the better, because they "feel good on (him)." They are also "practical." Dey has kept his body lean and hard, mainly to allow for crawling through brush and tight spots to allow him to sneak up on people unawares. His clothes, too, are kept zipped up and buttoned down, to keep him as streamlined as possible. Dey also keeps a number of knives hidden about his person. During searches, it seems no one can quite find them all.
Psychological Characteristics
Personality: Tends to be quiet, only speaking when something that needs saying has gone unsaid. Dey also has the (to others) irritating habit of looking whomever he is talking to directly in the eye. This, coupled with the two different colors of his eyes, makes talking to Dey sometimes awkward. Dey is usually a good soldier, but sometimes refuses to follow orders because "they strike (him) wrong." Dey always stands by his decisions, regardless of where they mey land him. However, when Dey does decide to actually do something, he does it well. Very well, in fact. When alone, Dey sits and thinks to himself, while scanning the area for new developements. Although Dey seems a quiet, gentle man, he sometimes has bursts of violence that seem to surprise even him. It seems the deaths of his father and mother disturbed him in a way. Dey is very loyal to his friends, going to great lengths to help them, in combat and out.
Likes: Quiet, Guns, Being Alone, Reading
Dislikes: Stupid, incompetant people, heights,
Goals: Listless, mainly. To survive and perhaps find a better life one of these days.
History
Grew up on, you guessed it, Nepleslia. Lived with his father and mother until their deaths. The Ralli family lived under the control of a local crimelord. As such, they lived in constant fear of being killed, sold into slavery, or ousted into the elements. As such, Dey lead a rather nervous life as a child, which probably lead to his inward personality. He never had an official teaching, but taught himself basic engineering techniques. As a child, grew up fascinated by firearms, and after mastering a few of the basics, began to design his own weapons. At the age of 16, Dey was able to "secure" a number of small tools, and began tinkering with then, working his way up to actually building a pistol. Ever since then, Dey still tinkers with his weapons, studying them, and making minor inprovements. At 17, he was pressed into service with said local crime lord, and learned a number of fighting skills. At the age of 19, the crime lord was overrun by a rival, and in the confusion, Dey escaped, only to find his parents dead, killed in the same confusion that allowed him to flee. Dey made his way to the recruiting office of the Nepleslian Army, and signed up, intending to become an armorer or somesuch.
Skills:
Communication: Dey is comfortable with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, ships, ground vehicles, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Dey is fluent in English. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc. Dey is skilled in field communications and is proficient in all rudimentary forms of communication (hand signals, flashing lights, etc).
Fighting and Physical: Dey received intensive hand-to-hand combat training (primarily focused on disabling and/or killing opponents) and has followed up that knowledge with a rigorous training program. Weapons he is trained in include pistols of all types, knives, grenades (and other forms of explosive weaponry) and rifles of all kinds. Dey can repair weaponry with adequate tools and time. Dey is in excellent physical shape and has considerable endurance.
Survival: Dey knows how to survive in hostile environments. He can build shelters, hunt and forage for food, build a fire, etc. Dey can camouflage himself and is familiar with guerrilla warfare tactics.
Strategy (Tactics/discipline): Dey can understand and give out tactical commands and work with his troop to follow those commands efficiently. He knows the importance of teamwork on the battlefield, has been intensively trained in discipline and morale, and is able to recognize the command structure even while under extreme pressure (combat, etc). Dey is able to recognize ambush points. He knows basic math in order to calculate distances, etc, and can use a tactical map.
Vehicles: Dey learned to drive various types vehicles at an early age. He is comfortable with almost any type of steering interface, though he prefers the old-fashioned steering wheel and pedals. Dey is also fairly proficient with various speedbikes(wheeled and otherwise), but not by a long shot a master.
Rogue: Although mainly trained in combat, Dey has picked up a few tricks here and there, mostly as a result of his time on the streets as a child. These skills are mainly the offshoot of being manually dextrous, and while he is no master, often supplements his interactions with people with exercises in these skills.
Technology Operation: Since he lived in a farily tech-oriented world, Dey thought it would behoove him to learn the basics of computer operation. He can usually figure out various aspects of any type of operating system, given the time. Once he has the basics down, he can use most of the intermediate functions of the computer he is using. He does not have the skill to crack codes, hack into accounts and such, or any very advanced tasks.
Updated and all that good stuff. Added the skills for the Nepleslian planetary forces. Basically, I can't really think of any other skills to fill these spots. Demolitions and engineering are out, apparently. the ones above, if deemed appropriate, will be fleshed out.
