Blue and black skin with several scars on his face and neck and bright blue lips. Tends to wear light Guardian armor in combat. While wearing the standard uniform on duty and off duty. He wears a grey collar shirt with black pants.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Height[/b][/color] [color=Silver]6'1[/color] [color=Gold][b]Personality[/b][/color] [color=Silver] Tahen can be described as a friendly, calm, and sociable person most of the time. Content with himself most of the time and enjoys spending time with family. Stubbornness, a trait he got from his mother is that while he can compromise and see reason. If he sets his mind towards something, then it can be hard to dissuade him. Like not giving up his native Drell beliefs like many of his fellow young Drell. Being a mildly spiritual individual that prefers to pray in private. During a mission, Tahen is focused and tends to only talk when needed. Cool under pressure and brave when needed. Though Tahen was trained to work alone and working with others during the Reaper War had forced him to adapt. Which while he can work well with others, he sometimes reverts back to his solo days. Which when asked how he learned his skills, you get a mixed response. For while the assassin training by the Hanar has been useful during the war. Tahen wishes he did not take up the Compact and it is a sore subject for him.[/color] [hr] [color=Gold][b]Role / Specialty[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Combat/CQC Specialist[/color] [color=Gold][b]Equipment[/b][/color] [color=Silver]M-6 Carnifex pistol, M-27 Scimitar shotgun, Omni-Blade, Armor-Piercing Ammo, and Lift Grenades[/color] [color=Gold][b]Powers/Skills[/b][/color] [color=Silver][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/9/98/ME3_Biotic_Charge.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/40?cb=20180206015006[/img] [b]Biotic Charge[/b] - Alters the biotic's mass, launching the user at an opponent.

The eldest of three and living in one of the several climate-controlled dome cities. Growing up, Tahen was raised mainly by his father as his mother was still serving the Compact. A drive to honor the Hanar that saved their people was something that his father would remind him often. Though Tahen wished that he could see his mother more often and not on missions. Regardless, Tahen and his siblings often played with each other in the meantime and were raised in traditional Drell ways. Something that left a strong impression on him. When Tahen was ten was when the horrible news came to light, for his mother had developed Kepral's Syndrome. A well-known Drell and an incurable illness that left the family devastated. Which despite the news and protests from Tahen and his siblings, Tahen's mother still chose to honor the Compact and would go on more missions until she was too ill to continue. She would die soon after, and Tahen would never understand why her mother chose to do this. To serve and honor the Compact instead of being with her family during her final days, starting to view the Compact and honoring it as unfavorable. Years later, when he was sixteen did tragedy strike his family again when his father developed Kepral's Syndrome. On his father's deathbed, did he wish for Tahen to take up the Compact like his mother before him. Tahen had reservations about it but ultimately decided on honoring his father's last wish. It helped that Tahen knew that his siblings would be well cared for without him, and he quickly took up the Compact. Being trained as an assassin, Tahen spent six years serving the Hanar. Hunting and killing those the Hanar deemed to be killed. It was during this time that he started to question the Compact. Sure helping the Hanar with tasks that were difficult for them was one thing. But being used as a weapon for them, to do their dirty work. It did not feel right to Tahen felt more like this was a mistake. Which finally, Tahen convinced the Hanar to release him from the Compact. Now free from his binds, Tahen started to think about what to do with his newfound freedom. Only soon after being released did an ancient foe, the Reapers, return to the galaxy. The ensuring Reaper War, Tahen joined the war effort and fought the best he could. But being essentially a free merc and not connected to any military. This meant that Tahen was bounced around during the war. One deployment of note was fighting alongside the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion near Illium. At the end of the war, Tahen took part in the Battle for Earth. Being apart of the initial fighting before getting knocked out by an explosion. When he woke up, Tahen found himself in a makeshift Alliance hospital and was told the news. They had won, Commander Shepard was successful, and Reaper forces across the galaxy were dead. This brought him immense relief that the galaxy was saved but, he was back to an old question that he had before the Reaper War. What to do now. Tahen, at first, had no clue of what to do. Thinking about as he recovered and the mass relays became operational again. He considered becoming a merc since he has few skills outside of killing. But, after hearing of the Citadel Security Fleet and thinking about it. Tahen knew what he wanted to do and before enlisting. He made a trip to visit his siblings first and after some time with them. Tahen enlisted and served for four years before eventually being assigned to the SSV-Intervention. Where to his surprise, he will meet some familiar faces.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Affiliations[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Thula Niol - Father(Dead), Esanu Niol - Mother(Dead), Druri Niol - Brother(Alive), Okasu Niol - Sister(Alive)[/color] [color=Gold][b]Relationships[/b][/color] [color=Silver]TBA[/color] [color=Gold][b]Character Theme[/b][/color] [color=Silver]N/A[/color] [/hider] [/center]
