Physical Description

A dark skinned man of 40, if one were to overlook the muscular physique earned by years of special operator training and an old scar across the bridge of his nose, Vec wouldn't look out of place to sample fair trade Coffee at your local farmer's market. When his postings allow more flexibility with grooming standards he often sports a curly, black beard. Under his uniform, he sports a collection of old scars and tattoos. His largest tattoo is a vibrant tattoo across his shoulder and part of his upper back that prominently features peonies.

Personality

Excerpt from most recent evaluation: From our observations, Shoi Wilson is a thrill seeker through and through. Some reports even label him an adrenaline addict. While he seems convinced of his own immortality, he is far from reckless. When he first entered my office, he seemed a little stiff, withdrawn even. Eventually, I was able to coax him to open up to me. The Vec Wilson I met then was glib, somewhat coarse, but his record speaks for itself. He is a top of the line doctor dedicated to saving lives. I am still unsure whether or not he was joking when he claimed to have performed surgeries with “a ka-bar and a bottle of whiskey.” I am left to assume that his experiences operating on the edges of Empire space and beyond have taught him to use whatever is at his disposal, no matter how improvised. That is to say, I hope he has never had to use such crude methods.

History

Vec Wilson was born 11日 7月 YE 04 on Tallus, an agricultural colony on the very edges of Empire space. More than used to working under rough conditions, he first learned medicine apprenticing under a Dr. Colson, a man who pulled double duty as country physician and veterinarian for the entire colony. Even as a youth learning to vaccinate cattle, he was set on the path to become a full medical doctor.

The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, however, and war couldn’t care less about killing a young human’s dreams or his friends. The fighting was short and brutal. A quick bombardment and ground assault by Elysian forces followed by a daring counter attack by the Star Army later and his world had been subjugated and liberated in a matter of months. Many colonists were killed. Other’s, Vec among them, were taken off world as labor to support the Elysian war effort. The hardy Tallus settlers did their best to rebuild.

Whether by fate or luck, the captives were found by a Star Army vessel under the command of an Orson Hues-Taisa. Vec never wanted to feel this helpless again, nor did he want anybody else to face similar horrors. Vec decided to set his course by a new star. Enlisted in the Star Army, he could do much more good than he could have ever dreamed as a lowly doctor on a colony world. Vec joined the 171st Combat Rescue Squadron an elite combat search and rescue unit and spent the next few years jumping at the toughest assignments. As his enlistment period drew to a close, Vec reached out to Hues-Taisa, who had become a sort of mentor to many of the young survivors, for advice. Should he re-enlist? The older man gave him a resounding “No” instead agreeing to endorse his application to the Academy. Vec had been set on becoming a doctor and the Taisa wasn’t planning on letting something as minor as a war change that.

Even after he graduated from the academy and completed his medical training, something always called him back to the edges of civilized space. Bored to tears by sterile hospital ships and Star Army facilities, Vec has found himself much more at home treating outbreaks in refugee camps or performing life saving operations under mortar fire.

Military Career:

Skills Learned

Vec is trained in occupation skills for the Star Army Medical.

  • Knowledge (Search and Rescue)
    • Vec has spent the majority of his career outside the Academy as a rescue jumper. A member of one of SAoY's premier combat search and rescue units. They are trained to observe clues left behind to track lost people. They are skilled at effectively finding and rescuing people in various types of planetary environments such as deep forests, mountain trails, lakeshores or even ruin ships or space stations. They must even be able to perform their duties in inhospitable locations or low to zero-g environments. All Rescue Jumpers receive Hazardous Materials training: how to deal with chemical leaks, certain biohazards, and more.
  • Knowledge (Medical)
    • Trained at SAAMMS Vec is an accomplished trauma surgeon. He specializes in providing treatment in austere conditions, away from traditional medical facilities. Additionally, in order to properly provide care to growing number of species and sub species that serve in the SAoY, Vec chose xenobiology as a secondary area of study.
  • Fighting
    • The discipline is called combat rescue for a reason. Sometimes the personnel in need of rescue are behind enemy lines or trapped in an hot combat zone. A RJ needs the skills to fight their way to their charge and bring them home safely.
  • Leadership
    • After participating in programs ranging from Enlisted leadership trainings, to Giretsu School, general Officer training, and dedicated Medical Officer training Vec has learned how to command troops at various levels from small unit to platoon level offensive and defensive tactics to organizing a field hospital.
  • Guitar
    • During the early days of his enlistment, Vec began teaching himself to play guitar. He doesn't think of himself as particularly skilled, but it passes the time. While he has an eclectic music taste (Synthtrash, Turbo Ska, Aether Punk, Steppe Metal, Horror Hop, Monastic Rock to name a few genres), he prefers playing a simple acoustic guitar himself. Without a need for amps, complex pedal set ups, or any other peripherals, he can bang out a ballad or bawdy singalong in any foxhole he finds himself in. He likes to use this skill to busk for extra cash during backpacking trips. It's not that he needs the money (he's barely got much of a life outside of SAoY to spend money on), he just enjoys it.

  • Mentor: Orson Hues-Shôshô (Retired)
