---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
[+] Battle Club: An analytical mind never stops, Ranulph is always looking, always thinking and always trying to figure out the next course of action. This is most prudent on the battlefield, his quick thinking has often gotten him and his men out of some dire situations. Additionally, Ranulph need only to observe how a weapon is used, before using it himself.
[+] Cover and Draw: With his quick mind, Ranulph is able to provide his men additional defenses so long as they are within earshot to hear his orders or listening on comms should it be necessary. He's also gained the ability to taunt and draw the attention of his opponents, ensuring that his men are able to escape or maneuver while he distracts their enemies.
[+] Grapple Smash: While 6'1" isn't so tall in this galaxy, it's enough to gain him some advantages when grappling other creatures. While he has these opponents grappled, Ranulph has proven somewhat lethal as he smashes their bodies/faces into various objects or back to wherever it was his opponents came from.
[-] Familial Aggression: Tarkin's have cultivated quite the reputation and it's one that Ranulph tries to distinguish himself from, but it would seem that when pushed to the limits he can become his own worst nightmare. He would be his own downfall, and become yet another Mad Tarkin. Even so, Ranulph is quite obedient and will do what is asked of him when it comes from a family member - no matter what it may be family is family, after all.
[-] Headstrong, much: Ranulph Tarkin can be a stubborn arschloch if there ever was one. When he's made up his mind about something he's sticking to it. Specifically, when one tries to argue or counter his own beliefs and alignment, he can be seen leaving behind quite a path of verbal destruction in his wake until the argument is won in his favor.
[-] You're A Failure: Because of his want to bring his family name back into the annals of history, to once again have a Tarkin go down in history on behalf of the Empire. To be remembered once more, Ran perhaps places too much pressure on himself. When he fails, it brings doubts and he has trouble concentrating and it can affect his leadership on the battlefield, and at the most inopportune times.
[-] Xenophobic Choke: When he does choke, he takes it out on those around him more importantly, the aliens around him. The ugly Tarkin nature rearing itself - as Ranulph feels the old blood run through his veins. His own vanity would refuse him to kneel before his own failures and accept them.

BIOGRAPHY:
BIOGRAPHY:
Ranulph Matthias Tarkin, son of Gideon Wilhuff Tarkin and his wife Shandra Tarkin (née Crawley). Ranulph is the only child between them and is a descendant Wilhuff Tarkin himself. Ranulph's family lineage traces their origins to the Grand Moff's brother, Gideon whose daughter defected to the Republic. Rivoche's line would find their way back to Eriadu and eventually back into the arms of Empire, it must be noted that had Garoche and Saro survived. Ranulph's line would not be held so highly, as it is now. And in all actuality, would have been disowned at the very idea of serving the Republic.
While born on Eriadu, Ranulph spent very little time there as he was sent to Arkanis as a boy. There laid a facility to train Imperial Officers, the finest of boys and girls from families who could authenticate and trace their lineages back to the old Galactic Empire, and some even further than that. There he was taught how to be a soldier, how to lead and for him specifically what he was, he was a Tarkin. His father Gideon arrived on Arkanis and ensured that Ranulph knew their family history and knew of their stories well. Gideon told his son, that it would be up to him to restore the family legacy, as Gideon had missed his chance suffering a grievous injury early on in his career.
It was suspected that Ranulph would carry out a more naval tradition, as Tarkins are known. No, he truly would live up to the name Ranulph and decided on the Army from a young age. He's made it his mission to become a General, and not just any General but the General of the Army. He understands the hard work that goes into becoming such a high ranking officer and is determined to stick with it. To this end, he's been known to keep a journal of his journeys to and from Dosuun. Having recently purchased something of a permanent residence there near the First Imperial Army Base Abbix where he maintains his training and leadership skills while not in combat. His job there is Information Security or Cyber Security, a trained slicer for the First Order's Army.
His job there is Information Security or Cyber Security, a trained slicer for the First Order's Army. Understandably one wonders how an man of computer engineering or science (sometimes both in his case) could ever amount to being successful on the battlefield. And then those who wonder are often civilians who severely misunderstand the capabilities of an Army Officer.
While his ambitions are strong, he knows that at the age of thirty - he must be looking to wed, and soon. His father Gideon is once more applying pressure, and his mother Shandra has been 'shopping' for her son. Ranulph would rather choose his own wife, he's rather old fashioned and wishes to properly see to their dating as it's called these days. Whoever he chooses Ranulph has but a few requests, she is intelligent, she is of quick wit and someone who will capture his very breath.
She should also be of good family, have a title of her own and well, be beautiful, of course. Some might say he sets the bar rather high, but very few will understand the pressures of high society. If he is to become a General of the Army, then the woman he seeks must be his better or he'd rather live his days alone as his namesake Ranulph Tarkin once had.
