Rank: Lt. Cpt.

Height: 6'4"/182 Lbs

Age:36

Species: Half Human, Half Caitan

Current Training/Qualifications: No formal training / Qualified in Insugency Tactics/ Qualified AW-1,2,3, heck, all alliance ground munitions qualified. / Proven leader in combat~ given Command qualification by fleet command/ Alliance Spec Ops master

Description: Yes, he is a caitan/human mix.  While he wears his hair long to hide the points of his ears, they are mostly human, as are most of his features.  His eyes do tend to partially dialate like a Caitan, though it's only visible in extreme light situations. He is slightly furry across his face, and definately furry on most of his body.

His face seems human enough, though.  A rather large nose, but it seems to run in the family, and thick black eyebrows are predominant.  With green eyes, a narrow bridge to his nose, and a non-prominent chin, he can fade into the background, though, his gaze tends to catch one's attention when it turns to you.

He normally uses a hair suppressant to keep the fur down, but if he doesn't take it, he develops a nice thick and even coat of fur all along his body, golden-brown in color, with black highlights along his hands and the scruff of his neck. He does indeed have retractable claws under his fingernails, and under his toenails, though not very noticable.  There may be a tail, though if it exists, he keeps it well hidden.

His feet and legs are structured to the human norm, as is most of his body.  However, the inside of his body makes up for that, taking after the caitan norm. His internal structure is built to the Caitan predator specs, while not as efficient as a human's in some ways, definately stronger, faster, and better enduring than a standard specification human.

Personality: He's a laid back individual, for a Marine force commander. Of course, he can still activate full flip-out mode, he just normally chooses not to.

Really, deep down, he finds it a little difficult to act so caullously.  So much of his life was burned out by the horrors of the Ohansu concentration camp that he's been acting goofy and slightly immature trying to bring it back.  He tries to keep a fair opinion on everything, though he does find it hard to be fair to any Ohansu personelle he might encounter.  Due to his current... issues from the time spent in the camps, he can't actually go on a deep-infiltration mission, lest he end up shooting the first trooper or person from the other side he sees.  

He acts semi-childish, with annoying pranks and many unusual plans and ideas, compensating for his defecies.  He's annoying, yes, but still fun, in an odd, mind-fracturing sort of way.  

But, most of all, he will defend his family and those he has joined into it, including the marines, with near rabid and unceasing efforts, using everything available to make sure that they are protected.  He is deadly when crossed, and deadlier when he finds that someone is an active threat, and he is suspicious beyond all belief.

History:

Turned up in the Kalida Camp in the year 3247, having been captured and sent there.  How long he was actively fighting the Ohansu before that, he will not say.  He proceeded to make the camp near-hell for the Ohansu guards, working towards liberating the people and taking it over to escape.  He had planned out for a long-term retaking of the galaxy, and it had to be given to him, that he thought big.  

Then the Alliance came, and his plans have moved up considerably. With his help in stopping the projects of the Empire on Kalida, and for proving his skills in the ground battle, along with unspecified reasons from Admiral Davison, he has since been assigned to the CSS Long Shot, where he has also proven to have at least a grasp of starship tactics.  There is talk of moving him up to trying out starship command, though he currently leads the marine compliment aboard the said ship.

In order to help deal with the possibility of Imperial agents in the Alliance, and to begin intelligence operations to the effect of having the information needed to strike crippling blows against Imperial capibilities to operate their fleet, Lt. Cpt. Andre has come up with and now is in command of a secret organization drawing on his skills and understandings of Imperial culture to accomplish these goals.  It's name is SSHSHHGGGSSGGHZZZ!!!!!!!
