Preferred Plots:   - YSS Ryūjō   -    - 

•  Height: 5' 8” or 127.7cm
• Mass: 110 Lbs
• Measurements:

Build and Skin Color: Due to his height and weight, Svein can appear scrawny to most and due to his heritage a pale complexion

Eyes and Facial Features: With a head even in length and width, the two defining features of Svein's face are his hazel eyes and pointed jaw line.

Ears: Long, narrow ears sit on either side of his head and are level with his eyes and press against his head.

Hair Color and Style: Fast-growing ginger hair is hard for Svein to keep as short as he wants and sooner than average he has adequate head-banging length hair poorly coordinated in something best described as a mop top.

Distinguishing Features: There is a pronounce scar that starts between his eyes on the bridge of his nose and crawls up his forehead in an upward-right fashion and ends beneath his hair.

Personality: Svein is someone who wears a mask as far as social interactions are concerned. Often he fakes empathy and understanding when none in truth is held and often struggles to understand his own emotions at rare times. Such a deceptive tactic is used by him because while he may not understand or care about a situation, from one individual to another he is considerate and understands that he would appreciate such acts too if the roles were reversed. Before any action is taken, however, he is rather observant and is often found around the edges of groups observing if he can help it, this is because of his previously stated social awkwardness as well as shyness. Svein often thinks of himself with a rather low self esteem and would rather not distract another individual from their own personal pursuits or given objectives from superiors.

  * Likes: Learning, reading, sports, poker   * Dislikes: Crushing authority, sudden noises, sarcasm, sanctimonious individuals   * Goals: Serve the Star Army of Yamatai with honour, to die in service.

Mother - Maria Bergmark Father - Peter Nichols   

This is a story that begins after the battle of Neplesnia in YE 26 with three lost souls who had everything taken from them and soon after voyaged across the stars in the search for a new life with a refusal to whither and fade. These three individuals were Maria, Peter and their son. After they had became Yamataian citizens and had resumed their lives, the son, Svein, had ran into more difficulty adjusting than his parents and often at times he felt inadequate with his new surroundings but as time went on he eventually found himself comfortable.

As the months turned to years, Svein had his mind fixed on the future and what its undetermined nature would hold for him. Not keen to wait around and find out, after a year of making memories worth remembering before he joined, he was off to the stars in a uniform.

Able to read and write in both trade and Yamataigo. Svein can speak trade fluently but struggles somewhat with the pronunciation of many words in Yamataigo. This does not mean he fails to understand the words in question, only utilizing them with his own voice.

With training for gravity conditions of varying degrees, Svein can utilize hand-held weapons of a large variety to great effect. Yet with such training untested in battle, Svein hopes he never ends up in a situation where he will have to apply it.

Trained as a fighter pilot, Svein has developed efficient skills for operating dogfights and CAS (Close air support) of varying intensity in an efficient manor.

Full environmental detail is something that Svein picked up naturally. Such a talent aids him with threat detection and a general knowing of when an unidentified threat lurks within the same vicinity as him.

Though not having had to use such training before, Svein is able to successfully stabilize casualties and hopes a bit of quick-thinking could make an unusual injury nothing to worry about.

Under the circumstance he survives a crash on a planet that can sustain intelligent life, Svein is able to not just survive but prosper if given the chance. Such tasks like finding edible food and water may take less time with him than if someone else was to pursue such tasks.

Being a fighter pilot often requires him to work with computer software for a number of reasons like targeting. As such, this translates well both in and out of combat scenarios.
