Name: Rico "Pretty Boy" Sanroma
General Information
Species: Nepleslian
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Family (or Creators): Mario Sanroma (Father, Deceased)
Callista Sanroma (Mother, Alive)
Esma Young (Sister, Married, Alive)
Employer: Star Army of Nepleslia
Occupation: General Infantry
Rank: Soldier 3rd Class
Current Assignment: NSS Alliance
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5'9
Weight: 161
Build and Skin Color: Muscular Nepleslian build, although muscles aren't as defined as others, with light brown skin.
Facial Features and Eye Color: Slight maintained fuzz around the mouth and chin, thin, handsome face, with smooth brown eyes.
Hair color and Style: Dark brown hair, length of a few inches past the ears and curls a bit towards the end, usually kept oiled to give it a slight shine, often combed back.
Distinguishing Features:
Rico, as his nickname implies, has a naturally attractive appearance (along the lines of a Latin heart-throb, if you need an example), and takes care to keep it that way. Rico also has had his right arm, two ribs and a portion of his right chest replaced with cybernetics, which he keeps concealed with synthetic flesh.
Psychological Characteristics
Personality:
Rico is the street-wise big-mouthed wise-cracker. He loves to talk, but he loves having a good time even more. Because of his attractive appearance, Rico has a lot of confidence in his life (and the ladies), and rarely ever takes things as seriously as they should be. However, Rico does know the limits, and will cut the crap and buckle down if things become too dismal.
Rico does have one glaring problem, however; he becomes overly defensive and hostile when his family is insulted. This first spawned from fights between rival gangs in his hometown, and during that time he grew to hate such insults, and if provoked enough, could cause his to become wildly aggresive. Rico attempts to work on this problem, however ever since his father's death, insults to the Sanroma name have been few and far between.
Beneath the exterior, Rico has passion and loyalty for both his comrades and Nepleslia. Rico also has a fierce respect for his family, despite their past involvements in criminal acts. However, contrary to his outward personality, Rico is secretly unsure of his future, but never chooses to talk about these issues at his own will.
Likes: Women, drinking, Nepleslian military, self-grooming, action movies, leather jackets
Dislikes: Disloyalty, super-serious types, people who can talk more than he can, disrespect to his family
Goals: Outwardly, to live life to the fullest and go out with a bang. Inwardly, Rico wishes to see Nepleslia prosper into a greater universal power, and secretly desires to find some sort of direction in his life.
History
Rico grew up in the midst of the street violence commonly associated with the lower rungs of Nepleslian society. Rico's father, however, was secretly high in the local crime ladder, and that allowed Rico's family to live a somewhat secure life through the respect and protection his father established. Rico didn't exactly live in the luxury suites, though, and he learned how to navigate the ugliest parts of Nepleslian society, getting his fair share of cuts, bruises and lessons of life along the way. Rico himself led a small, insignificant gang that presided over their area of the neighborhood.
When Rico was about sixteen, the role his father played in the crime ring began to dissolve, and before long tragedy struck...an 'accidental' explosion in the vehicle Rico and his father were riding in. While Rico's father was instantly killed, Rico himself lived after losing his right arm and a portion of his chest. With the money left over from her husbands' work, Widow Sanroma paid for cybernetic limbs for Rico, and realizing the danger they were in, used to rest of the money to move the family into a safer area of the planet.
The family had always planned on Rico taking his father's place in the crime ring, and as a result, Rico wasn't taught many other talents. With that option no longer available, and the Sanromas' involvement in crime a relative secret, Rico half-heartedly flipped in and out of several different careers. Rico, feeling no true passion for any of them, became unsure of what exactly he wanted to accomplish with his life. After a number of exhausted careers, Rico considered a military occupation and found that he enjoyed the rush of emotions he experienced in combat situations, and has since then continued to play soldier for the Nepleslian Star Army.
Skills
Fighting: Rico learned how to defend himself in harsh Nepleslian society, which was then complimented and enhanced with a rigorous military training program. He is skilled and experienced in combat both in Nepleslia-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons he is trained in include energy pistols, knives, and power armor.
Communications: Rico is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Rico is fairly fluent in common languages. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.
Maintenance and Repair: Rico is trained and capable handling bare basic repair and maintenance procedures associated with registered Nepleslian Star Army technology and armors. Rico cannot repair a failing engine on a starship; however he can repair minor problems in power armor, when given the right equipment. Rico is also adept at repairing and maintaining his own cybernetic enhanced parts into working condition.
Survival and Military: Rico is capable of surviving harsh conditions through military training programs, and is adept and experienced at finding water, land navigation, shelter construction, hunting, signaling, camouflage, etc.
Leadership: Rico has received military training in squad leadership and squad-based situations. Rico, due to his personality, past experience with leading his gang members, and military training, is also comfortable with public speaking and gatherings, taking control of situations if required, and giving commands. Rico is also adept at recognizing ambush points and possible strategic situations.
Vehicles: Rico, because of his rough history, is experienced in 'hotwiring' civilian vehicles common on Nepleslia. Rico is also adept at driving most civilian vehicles, and through military training, is proficient at handling Nepleslian military vehicles.
Knowledge (Crime): Rico, having grown up in a family supporting organized crime, is fluent with lower rungs of Nepleslian society. Rico knows how and where to import and export illegal items in relative safety and with minimal fear of discovery, and has managed to keep in contact with a few important individuals to the trades. Rico is also familiar with sects of organized crime around Nepleslia.
