Avaldamon is reserved without being too terse. He listens to everything that is said, even in others' conversations (when nearby), in case he might learn something new. This trait gives him widely based very minor knowledge about other trades and people. He is generally in a good mood and it takes him a while to get angry. He isn't a very physical person but won't hesitate to to fight someone if he feels it is absolutely necessary. He is always well dressed and clean cut, a tribute to his military upbringing.

A hard worker because he respects the fact that it allows him to have free time and hobbies. Avaldamon prizes his free-time immensely, and if forced to work during free-time without prior notification holds the perpetrator in low esteem. When not on duty, Avaldamon is most likely found in his room working on a new project, keeping up with trade journals, or relaxing in the canteen.

The highest ideals that he holds are honor and respect, He does not like to lose face publicly and does not tear others down without good reason. He is not likely to disobey orders publicly, but will approach an officer in private if he has critisism or questions about behavior.

* Likes: Chocolate, sports (esp archery), woodworking, meditation, debating, playing cards

* Dislikes: staff meetings/breifings, battles during scheduled sleep time, dirty dishes

* Goals: To become a superior officer and then retire (afer a full term of 16 years) to the country where he can devote all his time to woodworking and having a family of his own. To meet eligible women while in the army for the purposes of good friends and possible spouses

Born on Yamatai to Alaric and Suzume Thulesius, his older brother Yuudai served during the fourth Elysian war. An army brat, he grew up in the footsteps of his father (and his father's father) as well as his older brother (9 years older than him). His childhood was rather uneventful.

When Avaldamon's father retired from the military, he bought a used Gopher T-1 shuttle. After an almost complete overhaul, Avaldamon's father started a small, in system, transport business. Avaldamon helped him pilot and load the shuttle until he left to join the military itself.

In the months leading up to his enlistment his family gave him his ceremonial tatoo as a coming of age process. It is there to remind him of his loyalty to the Star Army.

After Basic training he was sent to further training where his abilities for math and computer systems helped him succeed. he graduated in the top 20% of his class and was sent to Kessaku Electronics for a one year practical apprenticship where he earned a Kessaku OS Certificate. He recently finished and is awaitng assignment to a ship.
