Eval.:[/b][/u] Nethel can be described as loyal, easy-going, and respectful. With a stubborn aspect that once he sets his mind on something, he cares about. It is near impossible to dissuade him from it. Even if the task seems impossible. Which makes him that if something happens to anyone he cares about. Expect him to stand by that person that has won his trust but, if that trust is broken. Then it is hard to regain that trust. Like most drell of the Conclave, he is deeply religious and a traditionist. Sticking faithfully to his people's native religion and traditions that is being given up by other drell. Not wanting drell culture to disappear in place of alien ideas. Not to say that he is a xenophobe. He respects other race's religions and practices. He just wants drell culture to endure rather than fade away. Otherwise, Nethel is open to talking about his beliefs to anyone that wants to hear it. Even with his quest to rescue his siblings, Nethel still takes the time to help others in need. Taking on jobs dealing with smaller colonies or people that need help. Even if it does not pay a lot, he still does it. Earning him a reputation for those seeking aid go to, along with a network of contacts that had helped him find his siblings. After finally rescuing them, Nethel still had the urge to help people, and when he was approached to join a special program. He saw it as a way to do some good in the galaxy once again. [u][b]Phys.

[u][b]Biotics:[/b][/u] Having been trained by his parents and by the military. Nethel is a powerful biotic that after being trained by the military. Has honed his skills and has focused on offensive biotics like Biotic Charge Nova, Warp, and Pull. Generally, Nethel uses Warp and Pull more than Biotic Charge and Nova. Reserving Biotic Charge for when he needs it and normally follows up with Nova for maximum damage. As this combination leaves him vulnerable to enemy fire before his shields recover. [u][b]Qualifications:[/b][/u] Having a stellar record while he was in the military. Specializing in close-quarters combat which he excels at. Using a combination of guns, and biotics to close the distance to his targets. Along with knowing a drell based martial art that he is deadly with. His time in the military, he mainly dealt with pirates, slavers, and other criminals elements in and around Union space. Also, having a successful mercenary career even though it was a means to an end. Having nearly flawless success rate and coming out intact every time despite the odds. Along with creating a network of contacts over the years as a mercenary that he can rely on. Some of which are mercenaries that he can both count on and fight with. Even still has some contacts in the Union military from his time there. [u][b]History:[/b][/u] [hider=Bio] Nethel was born on the arid world of Varaia to a pair of former Union soldiers. Even after the creation of the Union, the Compact between the Hanar and Drell was still alive. Nethel's parents belonged to a group of Drell that arose after the shortly Reaper War. The group called the Conclave believed that the Drell should not have to undergo the Compact anymore after centuries of service to the Hanar. Thinking that the Drell should live away from the Hanar and keep to Drell culture that was eroding due to living with the Hanar. Nethel and his younger siblings would be taught not to hate the Hanar but to remember that while they did a great service to the Drell. That the Drell must live on their own and must not give up on Drell culture. Growing up, Nethel, along with his younger siblings. Soltek his brother and Urasu his sister. They were a close-knitted family that liked to spend time with each other. Nethel particularly with his sister when they were not with friends. When Nethel was old enough, his parents taught him how to shoot and how to use his biotics. Nethel showed good skill with a pistol but not with an assault rifle, liked his parents. His siblings did better in that aspect, and only Nethel could use biotics. Nethel looked up to his parents greatly and wished to follow in their footsteps. It was not surprising to his parents that Yokru decided to follow their path and joined up with the Union military when he was old enough. Enlisting with the marines and showed promise as a soldier. He served proudly for years and would message his family when he could. Mainly his time in the military he spent taking down pirates, slavers, and anything in between in or near Union space. Unfortunately for Nethel, while he was on a mission to clear out a base of pirates near Union space. A group of batarian slavers raided Varaia. Temporarily overwhelming the colony's defenses before they regrouped and counterattack. Driving the slavers off but, not before the slavers abducting a portion of the colony. Nethel was furious at the news and saddened when he found that his parents died in the raid. His younger siblings were among those adducted and despite the Union's efforts. They were unable to locate the slavers or the missing colonists. Nethel was beside himself and was unsure of what to do with his family gone. After thinking about it, Nethel concluded that if the Union can not find his family Then he will. Nethel got permission to leave the military when he could and went out to find his siblings. Starting out was rough for Nethel as he searched for clues to where his siblings were in the criminal underworld. Nethel was used to being supported by his squadmates and not operating by himself. He supported himself as a mercenary and was selective of what contacts he went on. Not wanting to give up his morals for money during his pursuit. The lessons his parents taught him, and his military training proved valuable during this time. However, he would teach himself martial arts to help with missions. Keeping him alive and even thrive job after job. Earning a name for himself, the Merc with a Conscience he was called. Nethel did not care much for it and was only focused on finding his siblings. Even if it started to get him more jobs and even some contacts, he preferred if people called him Theos if anything. An old nickname his sister gave him. It was after years of searching did Nethel find a break. One of his contacts had received word that a pair of Drell that matched his siblings' description had recently been traded to a small-time batarian pirate named Roprak Bapbarah. Finally finding a trace of his siblings and after some greasing some palms. Nethel located the pirate to a jungle world in the Terminus Systems. Knowing that he could not rescue his sibling by himself. Nethel hired a team of mercs he trusts and came up with a plan that, in essence, was simple. Have most of his team created a diversion in front of the base to draw out the pirates while the rest of them sneak in and rescue Nethel's siblings along with any other slaves there. With him leading the infiltration team. Once he was ready, Nethel moved to the jungle world and started his rescue mission. At first, things were going well. His team had successfully drawn the pirate's attention as Nethel watched them move towards the entrance of the base from his position south of the base. As the coast was clear, did Nethel and his group infiltrated the base. Stealthily taking down any guards they came across and after some hacking. They sliced their way into the slaveholding cells. There, Nethel found several slaves but, more importantly, his siblings. Nethel cried with joy upon seeing them and hugged them both. The three of them happy to see each other, and for a brief moment, things were going as plan. But, it was a mistake on Nethel's part to let his emotions out and take time out of trying to escape. For one of the dead guards was ordered over comms to join the fight in the front by Roprak. When he failed to check in, Roprak then tried to someone close to the dead guard and found no response. It was then Roprak realized what was happening and ordered his men to find and kill the intruders inside of the base. After being warned over the comms by his team that Roprak's men were coming inside. Nethel ordered the diversion team to step up the heat and to pick off anyone still in the front. Meanwhile, he released all of the slaves and had his team escort them back where they came. However, it did not take long before they were under fire and pinned down. With little options, Nethel was thinking of a plan to escape, and one of the pirates had thrown a grenade at them. It bounced off the wall and landed near the slaves. Before he could even think, Nethel watched as one of his siblings, his younger brother Soltek, move forward and covered the grenade with his body. Shielding the blast from his fellow slaves at the cost of his life. At the sight of this, Nethel felt anger grow inside of him, the anger of failing to save his brother. At the moment, he kept the anger in and but did something reckless. In order to clear a path out, Nethel used a biotic charge on a group of pirates. Hitting the one in the center and disoriented the pirates nearby. Allowing Nethel to use his martial skills to kill each one of them in close quarters. Once the way was clear, Nethel ordered them forward and towards the exit. They were close to getting out when they got ambushed by Roprak himself, who brought two squads with him. Putting them at either side of the exit. Though not before one of the slaves were hit. Urasu was hit but managed to get into cover as Roprak taunting them that they were not getting away. That they would either be dead or taken as slaves. Nethel did not hear this as he was focused on Urasu, who was bleeding badly. Afraid of losing another sibling, and thinking of the odds of them getting out. Nethel made a decision and only told his other teammate to heal Urasu and run when it was clear. Without another word, Nethel sprang into action. First by using a biotic charge on a pirate on the right side and then quickly using nova to create a blast. The blast killed most of the pirates on the right. Shooting the survivors with his shotgun. Then got into cover as the pirates on the left opened fire at him. Roprak furiously telling his men that whoever killed that drell would get a bonus. Now in a better position, Nethel then threw a cluster grenade at the pirates. The resulting blast was devastating for the pirates and Nethel used a biotic charge again on one of the survivors, which killed the connected pirate. Then quickly killing the other pirates, including Roprak. Once it was clear, the group made a run for it, with Nethel following from behind. They regrouped with the diversion team and safely made it off-world. Nethel was both happy and sad after the ordeal. While he was saddened by Soltek's death, Urasu survived and reminded him that Soltek died saving others. So he can find peace with that, though it did not leave him that he still had failed to save his brother. With his team paid, the slaves returned to their families, Urasu back at Varaia. Nethel was unsure of what to do. While he considered going back to the Union military, years spent as a mercenary made him like the freedom he had. Needing some time to clear his head and think about things. He went to the Citadel to relax and ponder his next move.
