Name: Atellus Catella, “Brightlight”

Species: Human

Age: 37

Sex: Male

Appearance: Stands at 6’1”, build is lean and bird chested though sinewy. His hair is brown and eyes are green, with a rather plain oval face made remarkable by burn scarring along the left side of his face down to the base of the neck. His combat attire consist of a full seal suit of armor with an extremely large backpack, almost a full rucksack. When not fighting he is almost never caught in uniform, instead usually lounging in the shorts and spandex of his work out attire.

History: Born on earth, Atellus was never fond of normal jobs. From an early age he showed a military inclination- which was good, as the exile worlds were constantly either fighting amongst themselves or picking fights with their neighbors in the galactic west. He left his family and enlisted, becoming enrolled as a combat medic after scoring high enough on the aptitude test. After several years of slow, hard work, he made his way into the commando community, learning highly advanced field care techniques.

When the war between the collective and collosus broke out atellus was starting to get into a rut behind a desk job. He immediately resigned and offered his service as a training cadre to the mothballed vanguard military forces, citing his very recent combat experience. After a year as a course instructor in their combat medic/ship corpsman course, he got into a doctrinal argument with a superior over the more unorthodox uses of cauterizing gel. Looking like his career was over, he prepared to leave the vanguard when he got picked up for APRCOM.

APRCOM, aka Asset/Personnel Recovery Command, existed as a hail mary to attempt to save VIPs and intelligence assets feared too far gone yet much too vital to leave on the ground once a planet had to be abandoned. These men and women were inserted in hostile territory, and given impossibly small windows to attempt recovery. A mission was considered a success if a recovery team got out intact, and on more than one occasion direct action units like “the birds of prey” would be brought on board to run interferance while the teams did their work.

It was here that Atellus officially expanded his repertoire of treatable species from “human” to “just about most every carbon based life form”. Numerous pilots and intelligence officials evading capture by colossus forces could attest to the speed and efficacy atellus treated their wounds before subdual for exfil and further treatment- the last thing they saw the bright light of his surgical lamp.

Personality: Atellus is highly speciest. He wholeheartedly believes the the galaxy is humanity’s manifest destiny. While a strong military professionalism runs in him, coercing him to care for his patients equally, the strong individualism natural in elite soldiers makes him also exceptionally and somewhat embarrassingly rude to them. Aside from human supremacy, he also takes his medicine very seriously, following new drugs and their side effects on all the myriad races of the collective. As a side note, he is also a board game enthusiast. He is naturally observant and outgoing in matters lf recreation, but rather reserved in uniform.

Other: After a devastating digital warfare attack in his days on the galactic rim, Atellus has sworn off mechanical upgrades. He is extremely uncomfortable utilizing the neuranet and uses analog alternatives whenever possible, resenting his neural implants. If he does have to get cybernetics he insists on shelling extra for older analog/digital models rather than straight digital.
