Hello everybody! Can't wait to see what kind of troubles we find ourselves in.
Name: Talus Oravian
Appearance: Talus looks similar to most other Turians, though he does have the traditional tribal tattoos. Thin red bands across where eye brows would be, a thick red band on his chin, and his longest horn also colored red. He wears standard light Turian infantry armor for a wider range of flexibility and speed which has black as its primary color and crimson as the secondary color.
Race:Turian
Age: 30
Biotic ability: None
Biography: Talus was born and raised on Palaven, and experienced a fairly normal life for a Turian. He enlisted into the military when required. When Garrus and his father brought information about the Reapers to the Turian Hegemony, and the information was subsequently released, Talus was one of few that actually believed Garrus. All the evidence pointed towards the Reapers inevitable coming. He immediately volunteered for Garrus's task force to get the Turians' ready for the coming attack. However, after seeing the resources and menial tasks that were allowed by the Hegemony, Talus resigned from the military, believing that their work wasn't enough to do any real help.
Talus was looking for work on the Citadel when news of the Reaper invasion hit. He had the urge to return to the service of his people, but he felt as if one extra trooper on the front lines wouldn't make enough of a difference. However, the Reaper attack on Palaven was the last straw. As he marched toward the recruiting center, he learned of Project UNITY. For the first time since his resignation, Talus felt like this new endeavor would do much more against the Reaper's than being a simple soldier would. So, instead of going to the Turian recruiting station, he volunteered for Project UNITY.
Personality: On the surface, Talus is a humorous individual, preferring to keep the mood light so as to avoid over-stressing. He tries not to insult others, but if it comes off like that, he is quick to explain the situation and avoid further misunderstandings. Talus is fiercely loyal to any and all commanding officer's, though he does not follow blindly, preferring to getting to know his commanders before following them into battle. However, underneath this facade, and like almost every other Turian, Talus has a deep-seeded hatred towards the Reaper's for their invasion of Palaven. So much so, that he carves the number of confirmed kills into the stock of his sniper rifle. He tries not to show this side of himself, though, wanting to keep the rest of his squad from getting overly worried about blood-lust.
Position: Combat Specialist - Due to his military training, Talus does have experience with many firearms, though he has specialist training with long-range weapon systems. While he'll admit he's not the best, Talus does good work with his sniper rifle. He also has limited training with his omni-tool. For example, he's able to hack slightly more secure doors and computers than your average user. He's no tech-savvy by any means, but he knows a few things. Aside from his sniper rifle, Talus carries the M-5 Phalanx side-arm for those up-close and personal encounters.
Other: He has named his M-97 Viper sniper rifle, Julius, after the ancient Human conqueror.
