History

Family (or Creators)

His father was a soldier in the various syndicate conflicts who had managed to distinguish himself in battle, while his mother works in one of the interstellar manufacturing corporations based in Nepleslia; his sister lives in Funky City. Samuel has not been in contact with his family since joining the military.

Pre-RP

He was born in Funky City in YE 9, in one of the calmer places of the planet. His father was absent most of his life, fighting as part of the Green Syndicate to hold their government together, and eventually being killed in Samuel's teenage years in a firefight. His mother, over the years, introduced him to a trade in mechanics, teaching him how to work with machinery, intending for him to follow her in the corporation's trade.

As the Nepleslian government became more organized and Samuel grew older, he saw his path of advancement outside of Nepleslia, in the Star Military. Using his skill with machinery and mathematics, he was able to gain a position in the engineering corps. He joined the force several months ago, has completed basic training, and was ready to begin his service from the get-go.

RP Plots: 4th Fleet, SMoDIN

87I Mission: In Before the Close

Tybalt's first mission was an attack on an NMX monitoring post in the 87I system, located on a moon orbiting 87I-4, launching from the NSS Dauntless, under the command of Phaedra Volkov. The goal of the operation was to attack the base there, retrieving data that would be invaluable in future campaigns against the NMX.

For Tybalt, the mission had a rough start: he took some serious blows to the shields, his attacks were ineffective, and in his panic, caused Sawyer Aubrey's aggressor power armor to fall over in battle. His chance to redeem himself came as his squad entered the base through an upper hatch, joined up with Marines from other squads participating in the mission, and engaged Daisy-armed NMX Nekos in the upper-level ventilation shafts of the building before finally gathering together to strike into the lower levels of the base. Though the mission eventually ended in failure, he made out well enough, escaping the base without major injury.

Skill Areas

Communications

Samuel is fluent in Nepleslian, both written and spoken. He possesses an extensive knowledge of the Nepleslian military's methods of communication, its equipment, its bureaucracy, and its terminology. He is also able to speak in great depth on the workings of the vehicles and on how to repair them, as well as on concepts of applied mathematics and physics.

Fighting

Samuel passed the basic training courses of the Nepleslian Star Military, and knows tactics used in hand-to-hand combat, has firearms and explosives training, and can manually pilot the basic forms of power armor used by the military, though at a low level.

Survival

As part of Samuel's basic training, he can survive in isolated, hostile areas for extended periods of time. Thanks to his early life in Funky City, he can also survive surreptitiously in urban environments.

Strategy

He knows how to perform disciplined military operations as part of a squad, though his abilities at commanding others are lacking. During extended missions, he is often put in charge of squad logistics and supply chain maintenance.

Maintenance and Repair

He is skilled at repairing all types of machinery used by the Nepleslian military, though he prefers working on power armor and ground support vehicles over naval vehicles.

Mathematics

Samuel has been trained in the use of complex mathematics in applied situations, such as in physics, statistics and business. He has a cybernetic implant which he uses to solve problems with incredible speed.

Rogue

Samuel knows how to survive on the β€œmean streets.” While he prefers not to steal from anyone based on some moral compulsion, he can blend into the crowd, can pick locks, is able to negotiate with low-lives, and generally knows how to live in the city without attracting notice.
