FORCE SENSITIVE: no
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Charismatic: he knows how to command a ship and motivate his crew.
Old sailor: he has over a century of experience serving on ships both nautical and interplanetary. Not much surprises him.
Pinniped: As Dorneans appear to be evolved from pinnipeds, he has some physical traits that make him ideally suited to surviving a harsh life as a spacer. Such traits include being able to hold his breath for a long time, superb eyesight, and thick meaty skin that can survive harsh temperatures.
"Impatient in some ways…": he usually hates waiting around for the enemy to strike. He understands the importance of showing restraint, but he prefers aggressive tactics and sometimes he can still be goaded into striking first.
"…while complacent in others": having lived as long as he has, he sometimes lacks the same sense of urgency that younger officers exhibit, since he's "seen it all".
Broadside of a barn: he's just not good with firearms. He doesn't care for them and he would rather slug it out like an old sailor.
APPEARANCE:
Of average height. He is stalky and slightly thicker in his build than most humanoids due to the fact that his species is evolved from blubbery and muscular pinnipeds. However, for a Dornean, he is actually pretty slim. His fur was once purple, but it went grey prematurely at a "young" age, making him seem older.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born on the aquatic planet of Dornea, Antio grew up with a deep love of sailing. His family owned a small nautical hunting company and he grew up spearing massive sea creatures that lived in the oceans of Dornea for both living and sport. As an adult, he would use the fancy technologies for commercial purposes. But when he did it for sport, he would practice traditional boating and spear-throwing techniques with a crew of old friends.
After a few decades of hunting on Dornea, he decided to pursue bigger challenges amongst the stars. He signed on with a galactic hunting guild and began serving on large spaceships that were fitted for hunting purgils, nebray mantas, space worms, and other spacefaring game animals. His passion and skill gained a lot of popularity amongst his peers and he was quickly given command of his own hunting vessel. He enjoyed life as a ship captain for decades after.
Then, the Bryn'adul attacked his homeworld. There was a draft and Antio complied. He could have easily dodged it, being on the other side of the galaxy at the time. But he couldn't stand the thought of leaving his people to be slaughtered. Without any military training, him and his crew allowed the Dornean navy to hastily refit his hunting vessel with weapons and heavy shields were slapped on. With that, his and other retrofitted civilian ships were thrown at the Bryn to drive them back.
They were horribly defeated.
Antio's ship was destroyed along with most of the civilian militia force. He had no idea how he had survived or who had rescued him, but he was hospitalized and out of the action for the rest of the war. The Dornean navy was shattered and the Bryn crushed the defenders. A war hero by the name of Daro Roz'yrn quickly organized an evacuation of whoever they could get out in time, and Antio's hospital ship was amongst them.
Months later, his people were taken in by the Elysium Empire. They were grateful, but broken by this time. Most remained as civillians, living amongst the Elysium Nomadic fleet, but some joined the Elysium Navy to protect what little they had left. Antio was one of them.
He trained at the facility on Dagobah long and hard. He scored high on all of his tests, and his work ethic caught the attention of Grand Shepherd Burtch . Burtch had liked what he saw in Antio and when Antio was finished training, he was fast tracked into his own command.
His ship was a Rectifier Class Heavy Cruiser named the Verdict, and was one of the first ships of that line ever produced.
He served under Burtch and the Elysium Empire for many years. Amongst his many battles was the battle of Cademinu, the rescue on Castilon the pursuit of Ekun Vagabond, the battle of Hapolafey, and many more.
Then, the Elysium Empire collapsed under itself from corruption. Antio and his crew never even received a proper discharge, and his ship was without any formal direction. He thought about joining the Nomadic People's Coalition, but the whole prospect of having the Navis Sacra Religion breathing down his neck gave him the creeps. So him and what few crew he managed to keep left and went into the commercial hunting industry, returning to his roots.
For a couple decades, him and his crew used the heavy cruiser to capture many large space creatures. The Verdict was refitted for hunting and the crew went from military service to civilian profiteering. Since then, that is what he has been doing.
But his oath to his king could still stand…
