Full Name: Shas'la Vior'la Shie'el

Shortened Name Shie'el

Age: 9

Gender: Female

Appearance: art.ngfiles.com/images/719000/719428_…

standard issue fire warrior kit. Inc. Pulse carbine, photon grenades

Personality: Like any young Vior'la fire warrior, Shie'el is hot blooded, head strong and brave to a fault. Perhaps too willing to stand her ground and make a name for herself across the empire.

An uncomfortable truth that she will not admit even to herself is simply that while Shie'el believes in the supremacy of the greater good as the most moral and perfect ideal. The disasters of the 4th expansion and the many invasions of the Empire fill her with dread and despair. She lacks hope that even the mighty battlesuits and technological wonders of the Empire can stand against the combined threats arrayed against the Tau as a species.

She is determined not to go down without a fight, or shame her sept with an open declaration of fear and unease, lest such a statement be interpreted as cowardice. But she is possessed of a depressing surety that the empire may have no future in this galaxy, and each day it continues to exist will be be paid for in blood. Horrifying quantities of blood.

History: A brief Little to be said. Shie'el was born into the fire caste and trained at one of her sept's numerous and famed academies. Recently graduated barely one terran year previous, she now finds herself on the front line against what the gue'vesa call the 'chaos threat'

Skills: Training in the operation of the DV8 tactical support turret

Miscellaneous: Anything you want to mention but haven't been able to cover yet.

Full Name: shas'saal Vior'la La'Kais

Shortened Name Tau only – the shorthand form of their name: La'Kais

Age: 8

Gender:Male

Appearance: With a scar across his nose slit from an accident.
Gear:
Combat Armor
Pulse Carbine
Pulse pistol
Photon Grenades
Nim ko’nai X4
Tissue Rebuilders
Medical kits
Personality: La'Kais is a very driven Tau as well as being particularly dedicated to the greater good. He takes his duty very seriously. A firm believer he has a fascination with the other races of the empire, the Gue'vesa in particular as he can be found speaking with them on occasion during his free time. While many of his sept are Considered highly aggressive, La'Kais is considered even more so due to his dedication and drive. Often considered a oddity La'Kais takes a sort of primal pleasure in close in combat, much to many other Tau dismay. While many Tau may not care about family units, La'Kais has a great love for his family

History: La'kais has had a very common life, he is the eldest child of Shas'ui Vior'la 'Kais Mont'yr. Like all other Fire caste he was destined from birth to be a warrior. As a youth his father brought him to see some of the Gue'vesa train. As part of their training he got to witness several Gue'vesa train in hand to hand combat. For reasons he couldn't understand, he couldn't help but be fascinated by the Gue'vesa and their hand to hand combat. As he continued to watch them train he began to study then, their tactics,culture and language. How they valued their families, how they supported the greater good but yet seemed oddly independent of it.

Skills: uncharacteristically good at close combat, though by many other races he is but novice level. Medical training, beginner Low Gothic.

Miscellaneous: Has fledgling relationship with a fire warrior female.

Full Name: Shas'la Vior'la Ge'lar

Shortened Name Ge'lar

Age: 9

Gender: Female

Appearance: As is typical among the T'au, Ge'lar differs almost not at all from her male counterparts; such differences include the shape of the slit which every T'au have on their forehead, an ever-so-slightly lighter build than her male companions (though still retaining the firm build indicative of the Fire Caste), and a lighter shade of flesh. Of course, to anyone not of the T'au species this would make no difference at all - to them every T'au looks the same.

As with the rest of her squad she dresses in the standard armour of the Fire Warrior, reinforced due to her role as a member of a breacher squad, and showing the white and red colours of her Sept of Vior'la. Like them she is equipped with a clasp of photon grenades and a pulse blaster.

Personality: Ge'lar is near-identical to every other member of her race - optimistic about the future of her Empire, dedicated to fighting for their expansion and survival, and trained from birth to be a professional soldier with all that that entails. Nonetheless, she - as with many others - have come to realise that the universe truly is a large place and that the T'au may well be small fish in a much bigger pond. Far from despairing, she uses this knowledge to press forward in her career as a Fire Warrior and in the service of the Tau'va.

History: Born of the union of two Fire Caste warriors of Vior'la, she grew much as others of her calling and station. By the time she had reached her seventh year in the prestigious Shi'vak Academy she was already thoroughly versed in the slaying of her enemies - simulations though they may have been - taking her part in the Greater Good with an almost pedantic seriousness that bordered on fanatacism. It was already clear that she had no love or mercy for those outside her own, propogating the ideals of the Ethereals if not completely agreeing with their methods.

In her ninth year she came together with her fellow squad members to perform the bonding ritual, the ta'lissera, and cut her flesh to share her blood with the others. After this they would finally see actual combat, and by the Ethereals she could not wait...

Skills: Apart from those shared by all Fire Warriors, she has been given training in the operation of drone piloting and usage; this comes into play as and when it is needed.

Full Name: Shas'la Vior'la Ko'vash

Shortened Name: Ko'vash

Age: 9

Gender: Male

Appearance:


With smoother features and a more pronounced jawline than most tau of his gender, Ko'vash has an 'almost' human look to him, a fact enhanced by the fact unlike most Fire Caste recruits he is neither bald nor shaven, wearing his hair in a ceremonial braid. He is what one might consider to be fresh-faced, an air of joviality to his look that is at odds with the generally hotheadedness of the Sept.

Personality: Ko'vash, at least for a young tau, exhibits something of a free spirit, a propensity to joke and not see the serious side of things that at times has earned him ire, especially his willingness to make jest of matters that the Tau as a people hold very dear. This is not to say he is not as dedicated as his peers, for he too has undergone the same level of cultural indoctrination, it is simply that there is a sardonic layer which he projects for his own amusement, and sometimes, the amusement of others. Despite this, he holds few true doubts about the Tau's place in the galaxy and his own role within the Caste system.

History: As with many from Vior'la, Ko'vash grew up through the Sept's renown Fire Caste Academies. He was not particularly close to his family, as with many Tau, but still felt the sting of their loss during one of many orcish attacks upon the Empire, both his mother and father lost as part of the Sept's many campaigns against the hated for. It is perhaps this specific loss which formed his coping mechanism of dry humour, at odds with the rest of the generally straight-talking Fire Caste.

Alongside the other members of the Squad, he has recently graduated through Fire Caste training, and feels particularly keen to finally get out and into the wider Galaxy, perhaps with some thoughts of revenge, despite the calming words of the Ethereals.

Skills: Ko'vash has particularly fast mental and physical reflexes for a Tau, having excelled at simulations requiring both rapid mental tracking and physical agility. This makes him subtle in his movements for one of the Fire Caste, and more than capable of operating the sensitive weapons of war that the Fire Caste brings to bear.
