[b]Character Name:[/b] (Captain) Dean Joseph Victoria Harbit [b]Character Role:[/b] Former ODST stationed aboard the UNSC Solar Winds, acting chief of security. [b]Character Age:[/b] 24 (Mars) years of age/45 (Earth) years of age. [b]Character Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Character Appearance:[/b] [u]Physical[/u]: Dean Harbit stands at an impressive height of 6'6" with a chest 46 inches across. His body is well toned with scars littering his forearms and hands from different combat scenarios. His body is mildly hairy with prominent hair featuring on his chest, legs and forearms. His face is square shaped featuring a beautifully chiselled jaw. His eyes are green but often hard to see through his constantly narrowed gaze. However, the most defining trait on his face is the scar that spans from the tip of his nose, up the bridge, to his forehead. The scar is jagged and very distracting in a conversation. To complete the look his face always features rugged stubble and he keeps his mostly brown hair short to prevent it from being a problem in combat scenarios. [u]Uniform-al[/u]: Many officers in the UNSC wear their standard Naval attire on board vessels. Dean is no exception to that rule. His uniform is quite typical to that of the bridge crew with the exception of a red band that wraps around the bicep of his left arm. When participating in combat scenarios or drills, he adorns his ODST armour. The armour has been in sixteen active firefights and three campaigns and indeed looks that part. Small scorch marks and dents litter the gratified chest piece. If attention was given to the chest plate many indecent words and phrases might be noticed as well as a symbol of lips and two orbs. [b]Character Personality:[/b] Dean's more or less a trouble maker with a mean streak. This mean streak is what pushes him through the nitty-gritty and allows him to keep a level head in most fights. Apart from his violent habits and his smart ass attitude, Dean is fiercely loyal and sees treason as one of the most evil and vile of crimes. Anyone who questions authority in his presence will receive anything from a harsh word to a beating. [b]Character Gear:[/b] Obviously Dean sports a set of UNSC issue ODST armour with a newer helmet after the incident that resulted in his scar. Assault rifle, and Magnum lay on him at almost all times of the day along with his six and a half inch long combat knife. [b]Character skills:[/b] With almost no natural skills or talents short of quick muscle gain, all of Dean's skills have been learned over time. He's strong points are combat with both hand-to-hand weapons and heavy weaponry. [b]Character Backstory:[/b] Born and raised on an inner colony on Mars, Dean's father was a captain in the insurgency ranks. Dean was shown the basics of guerrilla warfare and witnessed first hand exactly how deadly combat scenarios could be. Dean, once reaching the age of 16 years according to Earth standards, left the inner colony of Mars to head to Earth where he would enrol in an academy for officer-ship in the UNSC military ranks. During this time his father was captured in a firefight and sentenced to death. Dean remained relatively unaffected by this and continued his courses with a newer level of determination. Achieving top marks in many drills but rather mediocre in the theoretical concepts of squad control. He completed his training and before he saw combat was re-enrolled for specialist training. After barely passing the extremely taxing physical exams he was assigned to a squad of marines as a captain. His squad was deployed in four active firefights against other insurgent groups before he was reassessed and offered a position as an ODST. After accepting, he was forced through another four years of intense physical and mental training before given the all clear. Now 28 years of age, his unit was designed for unconventional warfare often deployed to put down freedom fighters and well equipped rebel groups. He was moved from his unit however after a slight deployment miscalculation which resulted in five of the eight of his squad dying on impact and one drowning to death off shore. Two years on since the incident, he is now acting head of security aboard the UNSC Solar Winds.
