LEADER: After years of command and experience, Orion has learned what it means to be a leader.
FLEET FIGHTER: It didn't take long for Orion to figure out his true purpose, and it was sea command.
CHARISMATIC: Orion knows how to talk, it's one of his most refined skills.
MANIPULATIVE: Orion isn't the all upstanding Admiral image his PR team created, one of his less redeeming qualities, but very useful, is his ability to exploit and influence those around him.
ECONOMIST: Orion's ability to manage finances is one of his most useful as leader of the Admiralty.
WEAKNESSES:
GREED: His skill in finances was primarily fueled by an affinity for wealth, while able to withhold his hunger for coin, Orion can't completely extinguish it.
ALCOHOLISM: Orion has learned the best way to deal with stress was drinking, and now that habit has turned into a full blown addiction.
VINDICTIVE: Orion has a hard time forgiving, once you cross him, its nearly impossible not to face his retribution.
DEPRESSED: Ever since the lost of his wife, Orion has had a hard time recovering, and always feels incomplete.
APPEARANCE:
Orion is an old man, and it shows. His skin is wrinkled, and his coloration is pale. Orion's eyes are set, and yellowing. Smile lines are distinctive on his cheeks, from experiences long past. His body is frail, and lanky, thin from many missed meals. His fingers are spindly, and aged. But by far, his most distinctive features, is his balding hairline, and white circle beard.
BIOGRAPHY:
Orion was born to a family of star merchants, many of them prominent enough to own multiple vessels. Orion learned many aspects of commanding vessels and finance from this upbringing, being completely taught primary schooling from his family aboard their many voyages. It wasn't until he reached university age, when he realized he wanted to be a fleet commander, fighting grand battles across the open stretches of space. Orion attended four years at Cartao's naval academy, eventually being commissioned into the ranks of its Naval Planetary Defense Force. However, after 5 years of service, he would eventually resign his commission in favor of joining the Republic's navy.
He spent 25 years defending the Republic, fighting many battles with the One Sith Navy and other enemies of the Republic. This is where Orion learned the most about space command, leadership, and even political intrigue. Orion would befriend a senator, who taught him everything he needed to know about politics and how to manipulate those around you. Although at the time, he thought it was just some useless info he'd talk about with his wife once he retired. When the Republic fell, and Orion still had a lot of good fighting years left, so he returned to Cartao, where they made him a captain due to his experience, but limited him to 06 due to his long time since. With few positions, it took a decade to finally reach the rank of Admiral in the defense forces, one of the two Cartao boasted.
Life was good, but this time of joyousness ended with the death of his wife. After a long battle with illness, she died a peaceful one, in her sleep. It changed him, he wasn't the swell, open minded, man he once was. Orion became depressed, sullen, and inflexible, harsher traits replacing many of his more positive ones. Without his better half to advise him otherwise, he changed the way he saw the world. With the Sith Empire growing, the collapse of the Silver Jedi Order and its protective shield over Cartao, and the Cartao planetary government not doing anything to defend itself, Orion took things into his own hands. Orion declared a new government, the Admiralty of Cartao. Using the Navy, which he had manipulated into following him like a prophet, he took over the planet, and began reaching out to nearby systems like Cortuum and Pengalan IV to attain resources to not only Cartao, but those systems as well. Establishing himself, as Navarch of the Admiralty, Lord Admiral of Cartao, Protector of Muracie.
