Here's my sheet :3 Woulda had it out sooner but I got a lil busy.

I also took it upon myself to include Linguistics as a secondary role for Nicolae - if anybody wishes to have this as their primary role, it can easily be removed and used, I wouldn't mind at all ^^

[b][color=#e2b563][u][h2] Nicolae Haspe [/h2][/u][/color]
[color=e2b563]∷ [color=fefefe]Male[/color] ∷
∷ [color=fefefe]66[/color] ∷
∷ [color=fefefe]Liaison Officer / Linguistics[/color] ∷[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][b][color=#e2b563][u]Appearance[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae is, put quite simply, unmistakable. Standing at a striking 6'5"(198cm) tall and sporting a broad, strapping physique, he's more often than not immediately registered by everyone in his direct vicinity. He is an older gentleman in his mid-60s who appears rather well put-together. His collarbone-length, cream-colored hair is almost always held up in a fluffy ponytail. His face is framed by an attentively managed beard, and features a pair of discerning, wizened eyes.

Nicolae likes to, in exaggeration, make a joke of how he's "more machine than man". Most would probably disagree, on the basis that he is [i]quite a lot of man[/i], but it [i]is[/i] undeniable that his prostheses are just as conspicuous as the rest of him. His most obvious prosthetic sits in replacement of his throat - an apparatus which renders him capable of speaking and, in part, breathing. While the unassuming design is easy enough to overlook visually, none could ever audibly mistake Nicolae for another. His voice could aptly be described as a cavernous, raspy bass - one hard to miss, even in a whisper. He furthermore possesses a prosthetic arm that begins just below his left elbow, and a similar prosthetic that replaces his left leg, starting just below the knee.

It is certainly true that if one were to not know him very well, Nicolae could certainly [i]seem[/i] an imposing figure, if judged through appearance alone.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Personality[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae's character stands as a stark contrast to his imposing appearance. He possesses a matey, stalwart disposition who most swear he could leverage to get on the good side of a crocodile. While his resting face might seem like he'd judge you for breathing the wrong way, he is actually a receptive man who can't help but embrace those around him. Sometimes psychically. Such a hospitable nature serves him well in his capacity as a negotiator and cooperator aboard the Arcadian, lending him an edge in his duties. And dutiful, he is. One might not expect it from a man as seemingly care-free as Nicolae, but an extensive and long career in the military has ingrained in him an unshakeable sense of obligation towards any task he is assigned - personally or otherwise. Faltering is simply not an option when someone is depending on him.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Role[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae serves as Liaison Officer aboard the Arcadian. Such a role sees him organizing cooperation and mediation between other departments. He and his subordinates serve as a foundation through which other divisions solicit or address eachother, in large part. He ensures information flows and relationships remain in working order, as to allow the other branches to focus on their various undertakings to the best of their ability.

Additionally, Nicolae operates in a more civilian capacity as the ship's Linguistics specialist. Such a role primarily anchors itself in the need to translate between entities that might not speak the same language. As a polyglot and a capable teacher, Nicolae is well-suited to such a position. He speaks English, Romanian, Korean, Mandarin, and Russian fluently. He also speaks a handful of other languages well enough to mostly understand them, but not well enough to speak them in conversation unbutchered.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Skills[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae is a simple man, with simple capabilities.

Aside from a vast body of military and life experience, he has admittedly little in the way of outstanding skills. He made a fine soldier in his younger years - and likely still could, if he were put to the test - but he holds more value in his potential as a leader and social lighthouse, of sorts. His sense of insight and emotional instinct accord him the ability to function as a rock for those who need one. His fatherly nature melts boundaries in a way that makes it feel like he was always there. Aside from his social skills, he is an incredibly fit and athletic man. He outshines even those who are much, [i]much[/i] younger than him, at least when it comes to raw power. His stamina does suffer a bit, naturally, due to his age.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Personal Belongings/Equipment[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Nicolae doesn't have much in the way of important personal belongings, aside from a few trinkets left behind by his wife, both their wedding rings, an array of tools he uses to manage his prosthetics, and a collection of medals from his military career.[/color][/indent]

[b][color=#e2b563][u]Background[/u][/color][/b]
[indent][color=#fefefe]Having lived a life as long is Nicolae has, one might expect him to have some glorious backstory to tell. And perhaps he does have a few good tales.. but in brief, his life is a relatively mundane one. As someone who has spent little time outside of Earth's atmosphere, Nicolae has never experienced any of the exciting episodes of the new frontier and whatnot. In fact, he was a young man who settled down pretty early in life. He was in his mid twenties when he stumbled upon his soulmate, the now-late Min-Ji Haspe. He led a military life, mostly living on-base with Min-Ji. He was a bright young man with noble aspirations - to serve his country in making his region a better place for their people - and Min-Ji supported him in that goal. He was a man who took any opportunity to better himself and the position of his nation. This led, in his following [i]forty[/i] years of service, to him receiving merit after merit for his military efforts and his continued excellence.

But the ride was not an entirely smooth one. While his first dozen or so years of service were his most progressive, they were also his happiest. And that was due to Min-Ji. As strong and capable as Nicolae was, she was his rock. She made it all worthwhile. But all good things come to an end. An attack on the base in which they lived was all it took to shatter an otherwise perfect life. In one abrupt stroke, his world was engulfed in an incendiary strike that, cruelly, claimed only one life - Min-Ji's. He scarred and wounded himself beyond repair in his desperate attempt to save her, but it was in vain.

It was some time before he was whole again. Both physically and emotionally. He was fitted with top-of-the-line prosthetics that allowed him to return to life as he knew it - or, at least, as close as he could get. Now in his late thirties, the following few years of rehabilitation left him ample time to reflect on how his life would be after Min-Ji. He had more than half a mind to give up. But he knew that Min-Ji would want better of him. And only through that thought did he find the will to pick himself up and limp on.

And limp he did, at first. Eventually though, he found it in himself to live on again as he felt Min-Ji would've wanted him to. In due course, he returned in full capacity to his military career. He was well received, especially as he eventually picked up where he left off. In most recent years, he has cooled down in his direct military involvement and has pseudo-retired - too bent on being helpful to [i]really[/i] pass along the torch. As he has grown older and more reflective, though, he has found himself feeling that something is...missing. He obviously cant fill every void within him - but perhaps in a new environment he can find a truly fulfilling purpose.

He [i]did[/i] have to pull a few strings though, to have himself added to the crew, with as little experience as he's had in space.[/color][/indent]
