Name: Captain Aurelius 'Corsair' Decimatus
Sex: Male
Age: 45
Race: Human
Home Faction: TAC
Physical Description:
Aurelius stands at 5'8'' tall. Not the tallest human, though he looks quite intimidating, even to his own crew. He holds himself like a soldier, rarely slouching. He has tanned, slightly weathered skin, his hair is black and a short beard and mustache adorns his face, adding to his intimidating appearance. His nose is crooked to one side, after breaking it once and never having it set properly. His left eye is hazel in color, while his right eye has been replaced by an implant. It gives off an intimidating red glow. His right ear has a piece taken off the top of it, from a near death-blow from a knife. He has a strong athletic build.
Clothing:
Aurelius wears a TAC Officer's Uniform at all times when he's seen by his crew. The uniforms includes a blue tunic with a front flap, held together by a button, with a gold trim. The cuffs of the tunic are also trimmed with gold. On either shoulder is a red stripe, with an eagle clutching a rifle and sword in its talons, denoting him as a TAC Captain. Then he wears blue pants, with red stripes going down the outside of the legs, and then finally his combat boots, held tightly together using buckles. On his left chest, he wears a series of colorful medals, including a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and five purple hearts.
In combat, Aurelius wears his dated Decimator Powered Armor. To get into it, it requires a special bay or two other people to help him in. The armor itself adds an entire foot to his height. This armor is bulky, yet very strong. The head is protected by a half dome of metal, that slides around to allow him to look in multiple directions. Descending from the front dome is transition technology 2'' thick glass, with a built in Heads-Up Display or HUD. The armor is heavily armored, even the joints have armor unlike some designs. Adding to this, the armor polarizes the outer plates, making the metal stronger than normal when struck. The armor has the life support facilities for 12 hours of activity. In either wrist, there is a blade that when needed can shoot out of the armor and be used as weapons.
Markings:
Aurelius has a scar line from the top of his right eye, and it continues down his right cheek, ending at his jawline. A piece of his right ear is missing, and has two bullet wound scars in his chest, and one in his lower back.
Weapons:
Fifty Caliber Gauss Pistol: This pistol seems big in anyone's hand. Firing large rounds, it has enough stopping power to stop an armored Dracon in just a few shots. This weapon has a thick barrel, both width and height wise. Heavy duty iron sights align the barrel when aiming, while a magazine of 18 rounds is inserted into the grip. The weapon has a chrome finish, and engraved into the grip is the name 'Sally'. It is known that this pistol has a kick, but the captain seems to handle it well. The weapon fires its ammunition at Mach 6.
Fifty Caliber Gauss Rifle(Powered Armor): This weapon is large, and is too big to be wielded by a person. It's fitted to be wielded in the artificial hands of a Decimator Powered Armor, which it fits with quite well. Strong and Durable are two words that come to mind when gazing upon this rugged weapon. Built thick like the pistol the captain has at his hip, the weapon holds a large magazine forward of the grip, holding 200 .50 caliber rounds. It's a fully automatic weapon, built for reliability, not long range accuracy. It fires its ammunition at Mach 8.
Blades: This tungsten blades are 16 inches long, they shoot forward out of the wrist of the powered armor to be punched into foes.
Weakness: Horrible at long range combat.
Specialties/Powers:
Ship Command Close Quarters Combat Assault Trooper Tactics
Other Abilities and or Skills:
Zero-G training Zero-G hand to hand training Orbital Drop Pod training Helmsman training Marine Training Navigation Limited Karate training
Other Items:
Aurelius wears on his neck a necklace. On the end of it is a medal of honor of the TAC. He never tells anyone how he got it, when they ask, he simply stares off into the distance as if remembering something horrific.
Personality:
Aurelius is strict and to the point. Some would call him blunt, others call him brutal. New crew members on board his ships are expected to learn the ropes quickly, for he has little tolerance for laziness and mistakes. One thing he is though is fair. If he sees someone doing their job, they left alone, those not doing their job are punished. Punishments vary, but often it's janitorial duty in the mess hall. Though he is currently retired from active service, he runs his civilian vessel, the Phoenix like a military cruiser.
History:
Aurelius was born on earth, in the New York sector of the United States province. The entire state had been turned into an entire city since the 21st century. His childhood was rough, little money, dead father, and a 15 hour a day working mother to support a family of 5. Once he turned sixteen, and with the permission of his mother, he joined the Fleet. He always sent 2/3 of his paychecks back home to support his younger siblings and mother. Needless to say, his mother could work more normal hours afterwards. For the first twenty years of service, he was a marine. In 2331 at the age of 36, he fought against the Draconis Imperium. Even then, his armor had been out dated yet still used by many hardened marine veterans for its reliability. That reliability was put to the test during the next four years. During the battles, he earned a reputation for brutality. Rising through the ranks, he eventually got a command of his own, a platoon. They earned a reputation for not taking prisoners, and the aliens who did surrender would be forced onto their knees and had their brains blown out from gunshots to the back the head. Needless to say, the continued use of these tactics forced command to give this commander a ship of his own... so as to not violate the rules of war any more than he had already. For the next 7 years he commanded a cruiser quite successfully, while these past two years he's been retired. Rumors abound that he's still in active service but recruiting mercenaries and civilians to fight against the Imperium, using the Phoenix as his vessel...
