Rear Admiral Liram Angellus stands tall at six feet two inches, with a lean, muscular build that's a testament to a lifetime of military discipline. His skin is tanned from years of space travel, with a sprinkling of silver in his close-cropped, jet-black hair that gives him an air of distinguished maturity.

They're framed by sharp, angular features and a strong jawline that's often set in a firm, determined expression. He has a few scars on his face, souvenirs from his days as a fighter pilot, each one telling a silent story of valor and daring. His uniform fits him like a second skin, adorned with a plethora of medals and insignia that glint under the harsh lights of the spaceship's bridge. The crimson stripes on his sleeves denote his rank, while the golden eagle emblazoned on his chest signifies his lineage from the storied Angellus military bloodline.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Liram is known for his biting wit and dry sense of humor, which often serves as a shield against the weight of his responsibilities. He has a sharp tongue that can cut through the thickest layers of bureaucratic nonsense, yet he wields it with precision to uplift rather than cut down. His time in the cockpit has honed his reflexes and sharpened his mind, making him adept at making split-second decisions that can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Despite his snarky exterior, he is deeply empathetic and cares for his crew like a fierce guardian.
He is a man of few words, preferring to let his actions speak for themselves. Yet, when he does speak, his voice carries the weight of a thousand battles won and lost. Prefers to be addressed simply as 'Admiral.' This not because any sense or level of hubris, but more for respect to the station. Despite his rank, Liram remains accessible and approachable by his crew and subordinates, no matter the rank or position. He does not know every name in his fleet, but he is working on it. What little free time he has lends itself to his love of learning and the Admiral enjoys navigating the treacherous landscapes of interstellar warfare, seeing it as a test of both wit and skill.
His ship, the colossal supercarrier 'Celestial City,' (one of his designs) serves as his mobile command center, with its own formidable arsenal. Liram, despite his snarky nature does have a deep respect for both his adversaries and his allies. Ultimately, Liram believes in the power of diplomacy, but never hesitates to defend what he believes in. He is innovative, known for his unconventional thinking in combat situations, defying expectations. This stems from his high level of bravery; Liram leads from the front, inspiring his troops with his courage and determination. This can rally his forces to overcome obstacles, believing in their capabilities. The successes brought a confidence to him that makes Liram comfortable and decisive in both his command position and as a pilot. This can make him seem a bit snarky, and BOY is he, but that is tempered with a respect for his people, fostering their respect for him.

HISTORY
Liram Angellus was born into a legacy of valor and sacrifice, the Angellus military family, with a lineage dating back to the Mandalorian and Sith Wars. His ancestors were instrumental in the victory during the original hyperspace war, a conflict that shaped the galaxy into the interstellar tapestry it is today. Raised on tales of heroism and the weight of expectation, Liram knew from a young age that he would follow in their footsteps. He enlisted in the academy at the tender age of seventeen and quickly distinguished himself as a natural pilot. His sharp instincts and tactical prowess earned him a spot in the elite fighter squadron, the Sovereign's Talons. Over the years, he climbed the ranks, his exploits becoming the stuff of legend.
The Battle of Echo Nova was a pivotal moment in Liram's career. As a young captain, he led a daring raid into enemy territory, which resulted in the destruction of a critical enemy battlecruiser. His unorthodox tactics and unshakeable courage earned him the moniker "The Nova Hawk." Despite the accolades, the loss of his wingmen weighed heavily on his conscience, leading him to seek a position where he could influence the outcome of battles from a strategic standpoint. His transition to a command role was swift, and his leadership style—a blend of empathy and decisiveness—soon earned him the respect of his peers and subordinates.
Much of his success has come thanks to Liram's greatest strength and that is his ability to think outside the box during combat situations. He is unorthodox and unpredictable, often surprising his opponents with unexpected tactics. He is equally adept at commanding from the bridge of the 'Celestial City' as he is at leading starfighter attacks in his X-wing. His versatility allows him to respond effectively to any combat scenario. Despite his snarky demeanor, Liram is a charismatic and inspiring commander. His unwavering optimism and belief in his crew empowers them to perform at their best it may come at a cost to his own career, but he is elevating those around him.
