STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+ Breadth of Experience: Augustus has held a masters license for large ships for the majority of his life. He has navigated single man vessels and captained capital ships. He has engaged in fleet combats, albeit not on the level of the major factions, and has shown himself to be a knowledgeable and inventive Admiral.
+ Merchant Prince: Augustus was born and raised in a small off shoot of the Blackwood family, specifically the branch that owns and operates Blackwood Logistics. As the only surviving heir of said branch, he controls the majority share and the private bank accounts of the branch and company. Also, he has grown up learning how to handle ships and logistics/cargo.
+/- A Drink A Day: Augustus has a weakness for good whiskey and rum. His natural sense of self-discipline keeps him to one glass before bed each night, but the possibility of life events causing a dangerous level of imbibing is there.
- Zeltrons and Twi'leks Oh My: Augustus has a weakness for some of the more exotic species. When it really matters, there isn't an upside to that.
- Stiff Upper Lip: Augustus was raised in the fashion that one does not back down or show weakness willingly. It can cause strain on friendships, relationships and issues in diplomatic situations.
APPEARANCE:
Augustus appears to be a human just past the prime of his life, due to an aging process slowed by a quarter of his blood being Eldorai. He has gray-blue eyes that have a depth of experience within them. His hair is brown, though he has begun to start graying. He maintains a neatly trimmed full beard, and his hair is still regulation short. He is in excellent shape, maintaining a lithe physique that is excellent for dodging through hatchways and performing in zero gee.
BIOGRAPHY:
Augustus was born and raised a spacer. He was raised by an offshoot of the Blackwood family based on Kesh. The Kesh Blackwoods ran and operated a shipping concern called Blackwood Logistics. Being raised by what amounted to a Merchant Prince and Princess, Augustus had an excellent education that involved both primary education and values, but also included ship handling, fleet logistics, finances and cargo management. Augustus left the family business at the age of twenty-three to pursue a military career, he joined a local PMC as a fleet ensign. He earned his way up the ranks in the PMC to become a managing partner and Admiral of Naval Operations by the time he was forty-two. When Augustus was forty-five, the PMC went under due to the lack of contracts in their theater of operations. Augustus went back to the family business, with plans to introduce a faction of the business to convoy protection. His plans were put on hold, however, when his parents died in the Netherworld event. Since then, Augustus has been running the company and only recently decided that a return to fleet operations was a good idea. With the holonet, he would be able to run the shipping company from anywhere where he had a secure connection.
