History: Cieran was born on Earth's first extrasolar colony Demeter. His parents moved there from Scotland when they got married. As a child Cieran's days were filled with taking things a part and putting them back together. One could say he had a pretty normal childhood. Made some friends, graduated high school, fell in love, had his heart broken, ya know the usual.

Unlike his friends, Cieran decided to join the System's Alliance Marines. During his service he was trained as a Combat Engineer which he excelled at. During his first four years Cieran spent most of his time repairing and maintaining his units equipment or training operations. Nothing of note really stands out except him picking up rank to Service Chief. When he came up for reenlistment, Cieran stated that he would gladly reenlist as long as he could be assigned to the 103rd Bridge Burners. His term were easily accepted.

A few months after be reassigned to the Bridge Burners, Cieran's unit received their first mission. They had received intelligence regarding a nearby pirate base. His unit's job was to make a breach in the pirate fort then to hold position and wait the main battle group to clear the fort. Their mission was a complete success with only one injury.

The next three years of Cieran's service past with a quickness. The only things of note were in picking up Gunnery Chief then Operations Chief meritoriously. After his service was over, Cieran moved back to his home world of Demeter. He stayed there for nearly a year bouncing between jobs. From working as a bartender to a engineer assistant. He eventually came across an advert for a mercenary company called The White Company. After he did some more searching about said mercenary company. After a short interview he was accepted into their ranks. For the past four years he has served under the banner of the White Company. From raiding slaver strongholds to guarding frontier colonies.

Personality: Cieran treats his word as gold. If he says he'll do something you can bet your life that he'll do his damnedest to get it done. When not on a mission he can often be found enjoying a beer and a nice smoke in some quiet corner. Doesn't like walking blind into something. Does his best to get as much information as possible. Does his best to keep a neutral face for if one gives away their emotions they can be as easily as a book.

Has become desensitized from his time working as a mercenary and his time in service. Can be described as a pretty friendly guy, always willing to listen to people problems and offer advice if he's able too, though like any guy doesn't like to talk about any of his problems. Has a dry sense of humor.

Still holds onto the childlike wonder of traveling to new worlds and seeing the stars.

Some information about the mercenary company he works for
- The company is based off of an ancient old earth mercenary company
- Considered a 'good' mercenary company
- They tend to work with the various governments mainly the big four.
- Their most common contracts are bounty hunting, protecting colonies in the Terminus and Attican Traverse Systems, protecting VIP's. Other contracts they have taken up are pirate and slaver stronghold raids and protecting shipping lanes.
- Accepts all races
- They wear a ceremonial surcoat over their armor

History: Some children are born into greatness. Mostly through influential parents and a life plan that is older than they are. They become great scientists, diplomates or glorious warriors. Sometimes though, destiny blesses an ordinary child on an ordinary world. Harya was never special. It wasn't the first human colony, nor one the furthest or the closest to earth. It doesn't have an overabundance of resources nor a true stunning natural beauty that cannot be found elsewhere. It was so insignificant that not even the Collectors thought about attacking it. In fact, the only moment the place was threatened was when the Reapers attacked and the evacuation happened swiftly.

On this seemingly calm, average planet a boy was born. David Fletchers. Born from two biotic parents, he too would have obvious biotic powers. But it went further than that. As a kid he was intrigued by the Collectors and the Protheans. Especially their history of biotics. When he was old enough, David went to Grissom Academy and participate in the Ascension Project. It was renewed after the Reaper War as its effectiveness was proven time and time again during said War.

He excelled in his biotic mastery and many other courses. Though he failed several technological classes. Never the less, he was a clear prodigy when it came to biotics. While maybe not a great leader, he was definitely a great fighter. This earned him a special right: to participate in the Thessia College Exchange Program (or TCEP). David, at age 19, travelled to Thessia and was utterly stunned by its beauty. He stayed there for a year, soaking up the Asari knowledge and culture.

Even though the Ascension project kept its civil side, it also carries its legacy from the Reaper War. When the students joined the war effort and created a makeshift company. With little real military training, the students turned soldiers proved to be very effective in combat. Especially as they rained black matter death upon the battlefield. After the war, the company became official and was named the 86th company. Which specialized in biotic warfare. After his graduation it just felt natural to enter this company.

The 86th was now often deployed on search & destroy missions in lawless space, on the fringe of Alliance space. Batarians slavers and pirates, despite their drop in population, began their slave trade once again some fifty years ago. As their previous generations did, they hid on asteroid bases or uncolonized planets. This meant that whoever chased them, had to adapt to a multitude of environments. The 86th brought a lethal combination of constant counter-guerrilla warfare and immense displays of power to destroy any hide-out found. It got so bad for the slavers that they hired Blood Pack mercenaries in an attempt to fight back against the 86th. The 86th and especially David’s squad wasn’t afraid at all. This lead to a rather unfortunate incident between David, a charging Krogan and a concrete wall.

Even though large parts of the mercenaries were neutralized, David had to rotate out with several broken ribs, a broken arm and a fractured femur. He did make a full recovery, yet opted not to rejoin the 86th. Instead he applied for C-Sec. Before he could join though, the Human Ambassador found him and his track record, especially the exchange program with Thessia intriguing to say the least. Quickly realizing the diplomatic advantage he could get from it, he appointed David to his personal security detail. Yet the shrewd man gave him plenty of time to maintain his close relationship with the many Asari from his College of Thessia days.

Personality: Smart, capable and somewhat charismatic, David feels at home amongst the higher echelons of society. Especially during his tenure at Thessia College he developed a refined sense of beauty. On top of that, his military service added a healthy respect for power. As well as a fair dose of discipline in his otherwise loosely controlled life. Unlike men who served, David does not feel odd or out of place amongst the Citadel’s diplomates. In fact, he will actively engage in political and cultural discussions. This, sadly, has made him quite snobbish. David certainly feels that, in an social setting, he is better than most of C-Sec. Though that sense of superiority quickly vanishes when battle erupts. In combat only power matters and this he knows.

When ready to fight, David is quite different from his social self. He’s quiet and waits for his orders. Barely questions them and will do everything to fulfill the order. His loyalty and ability cannot be questioned here. Though he won’t often show initiative beyond his given orders.

Still a bit of a WIP. I want to expand the personality section.

[Dervish]

I am about to head into my weekend this evening so I'll get my intro out pretty soon!

[CaptainSully]

I'm just catching up on another RP and then i'll be posting here.

[WardenCelestine]

[RangingWolf]

@Andromedai still working on it. would've had it done last night but I got a pretty gnar gnar headache

[Legion02]

@Andromedai I think my CS is ready now. I've changed a bit of the history as well as the personality. Hope you like it!

[WardenCelestine]

@Legion02 You are approved, please post your CS in the characters tab. :3

[Eisenhorn]

Figured I'd get someone sorted out and thrown into the ring as well, why not?

Cabal Personnel File

"What you don't know won't hurt you? How human, that saying. Wrong, but human all the same."

Typical Appearance

Age
34

Sex
Male

Species
Turian

Class
Cabal Adept

Specialization
High Value Target Eliminations, Evasion, and Interrogation. When Fauus was tested and found to be capable of manifesting Biotic powers, he was assigned to a Cabal that specialized in target elimination. As such, all of his powers and training revolved around crippling and removing targets from play, typically for good, and he tends to prefer to operate at mid to long range. Despite this preference, he is still a capable of handling himself in hand to hand, the Nightshade Gauntlets that are issued to Cabal forces, coupled with the hand to hand training that goes along with them, giving him an extra edge. Typically, most enemy forces do not take kindly to one of their own being eliminated, and Fauus has learned how to manipulate his biotic abilities, coupled with natural agility, to not be where the enemy wants him to be.

Whether he is being actively attacked, or escaping an area, pinning the Turian down is tricky at best. Between augmenting the usual dodging and rolling with Biotic teleportation, focus, and capture evasion training, actually holding the Cabal Adept against his will is an unlikely affair. He has also learned how to go about extracting information from captured enemies, either through interrogation or outright torture, however the latter has to be often taken with some care. After all, sometimes a prisoner will say anything just to get the pain to stop.

History
Born on Digeris, a planet that was able to be held against the Reaper threat by both resident and reinforcements sent during the Reaper War, Fauus Caldros stands by this as a point of pride, much like most Turians born on the colony world. His upbringing was relatively boring, right up to the point where his capabilities as a Biotic were discovered by mandated testing, attributed to the increase of eezo exposure across the planet from the failing engines of Turian space craft destroyed in the initial repulsion of Reaper forces. It had been noted that Digeris, compared to other colonies, produced more Biotics than was typical, and the Turian government had kept a close eye on the planet for that reason. As such, he was hand picked at an early age for additional training and surgery prior to the normal age for military service by Turians, that being at the age of 15.

Once Fauus had undergone the necessary implant surgeries, and initial Biotic training, he was turned over for more conventional training during his boot camp. Boot camp was stressful, owing to the divide his potential powers created, but he had been prepared well enough before hand. While he did not make any real name or distinction for himself, he was handed over to a Cabal after his basic training. They would handle further refining his powers and abilities, being Biotics themselves, and with his Cabal was one of the only places he ever really felt at home at. His initial training, while broad, narrowed down the fact he was at his most potent, and comfortable, wielding powers that only ever targeted a single being. Coupled with his aptitude in evading his peers, he was a natural for assignments requiring focused removal of singular targets.

Many of Fauus' Cabal assignments are classified, what was committed to records at any rate, though he does claim that many pirates, mercenaries, and the like were eliminated and manipulated by his Cabal's actions. From pirate raiding, intercepting illicit cargo, and even interfering with the races that opposed the Turian Government's goals, which often fell in line with that of the Citadel Council. Rumor is that he was even tasked with assisting a Spectre during his operations and investigation, though the outcome of that mission is buried under enough black ink to drown most sentient beings. Despite not being at liberty to discuss most of the details, it is a time he is proud of and remembers fondly.

The Cabal eventually was split up, members reassigned or retired to the Reserves to lead a civilian life. Fauus had no real interest or desire to serve with another Cabal, having bonded greatly with the original dozen Turian Biotics that had made up his first, and only, Cabal, instead choosing to operate as an independent agent for the needs of the Turian people. This often led to assignment to operations and missions that needed the extra power a Biotic could lend, or where there was suspected trouble where he could provide enough weight to tip the scale back in the favor of his people and their allies. As such, while many times he finds it odd where he ends up, he is still a Cabal trained adept of the Turian military and will do what is necessary to complete any mission put before him.

Personality
Having been isolated from the majority of his peers at a young age, Fauus is very much not one for social situations. With allies, he is vague and only as honest as he sees as necessary, which can come across both as insulting as well as distrustful, as he consistently withholds any information he deems fit to. This does nothing to help alleviate the distrust other Turians have towards their biotics, which further fosters the isolation that Fauus tends to feel towards any non biotics. With hostiles, he is clipped and precise, eliminating high value targets and those marked by his superiors. Outside of this, he operates on his own initiative, which tends to be securing his surroundings and eliminating threats to his continued operations.

During free time, Fauus will actively seek out places where he can focus in peace and quiet, whether he is working on equipment maintenance. He is more comfortable around other Biotics then anyone else, though he would much rather be back with his Cabal more so above all. He speaks fondly of them, despite the fact such isolationism of Biotics by Turians does little to help the fact he is borderline inept in social situations. Not that he seems to mind, claiming it lets him focus more on his duties to his people, being of a incredibly rare breed after all. He is, rarely, openly nostalgic about the time spent with his Cabal, and it is one of the few things he will speak candidly about, nostalgia giving way to sorrow over no longer serving alongside them anymore.

[WardenCelestine]

@Eisenhorn Approved, please put your CS in the character tab.

Good to have you here. ^__^
