[h3][sub]Short description of the Senator.[/sub][/h3]
None too tall, none too wide. Tychus, in spite of his epicure lifestyle, is in shape and is aging rather well. He has a square-jawed, handsome face and affable smile. Together with his rugged charm, these can disarm many during a first meeting. Tychus is an energetic everyman, capable of both intricate and simple speech depending on what audience to cater to.

[h3][sub]Detailed notes on political influence, associates and rivals. [/sub][/h3]
The group of senators Tychus Alastor heads are known as the ‘Axis Caucus’, because they are devoted to the interests of Alsakan and the Perlemian Trade Route. The Caucus ideals are rooted in the belief central government should meddle as little as possible in local affairs. As such they are deeply concerned with the Republic, while maintaining a regional focus and entertaining a ‘confederate’ point of view. Local independence should not be limited by general government.

Tychus consequently straddles a somewhat politically ambiguous position between the Core and Rim factions and has acquaintances, enemies and allies (such as the Pantoran Senator Eyri Pharliis) on either side of the aisle.

For instance, Tychus has been a long-time promoter of a strong military to counter the Imperial threat, but at the same time opposes stringent Republic meddling in local systems and governments. He is a strong proponent of force projection in the Northern Dependencies, and has expressed Alsakan willingness to do so itself should the Republic not be up to the challenge.

Furthermore, he agrees with the Rim faction that special attention should be given to the plight of refugees and migrants. However, Tychus sees these as an opportunity to expand Alsakan (and Republic) influence along the Perlemian Trade Route and newly charted Hydian Way.

[h3][sub]Psychological evaluation of candidate.[/sub][/h3]
Hard-working and hard-boiled, grizzled, and a bit of thrill-seeker. Ironclad, he knows the system is rigged, and always had been. However, he wants more than just a decent cut of it. Tychus is dedicated to getting by and doing good for his people. He enjoys pushing people’s buttons. Tychus likes antagonising and badgering people, skills he puts to use in the political arena. Doesn't shy away from controverse. Life has been hard on him, and now he is in a position to influence the lives of others for the better he simultaneously finds himself enjoying his elevation. Tychus is able to take pleasure from the little things. Always a bon-vivant, he also developed a fondness for hooch.

[h3][sub]List and description of known and suspected flaws. To be put into restricted database.[/sub][/h3]
Has trouble with authority and can affect a cavalier attitude. He is proud of his Alsakan heritage, sometimes to a fault. Has a tendency to drink. Accused of jingoism.
