Name: Bigtail Cnossos Veshohm Na'ari
Age: Forty
Gender: Male
Race: A’kasa

Appearance: eight feet tall, five hundred pounds, tail is a hundred pounds, athletic musculature, green scales, blue eyes

Normal clothing: sleek, full-body grey outfit

Armour:

Left to right: Division-07, Onibi Yamamoto, Veronica Walters, Natalia Anna Pulaski, Cnossos Veshohm Na'ari
His suit is military grade in both quality and shielding

Skills: sharpshooting, wrestling, hunting, swimming, diving

Job: Vanguard

Short history: Descending from a traditional, noble, warlike bloodline, Cnossos Veshohm Na'ari grew up hunting in the densest jungles of Kashka, enduring endless insects, predatory animals, diseases, and extreme heat. Indeed, endurance, adaptability, aiming, stalking, and the willingness to take a life can all be honed during a hunt. When not hunting, he practised swimming and wrestling with his father and older brothers.

Cnossos joined the militia as a teen, older brothers going to the army. He married his future wife Xuhlti. She had fertility issues, unable to produce eggs, but they stayed together.

Prior to the Ghiak Feith coming from beyond the Outer Veil, as a young man Cnossos joined the military. Although his aiming and hand-to-hand were good, Cnossos' noble bloodline made him rather stubborn and impulsive, though he was a rock-ribbed stormtrooper. Pride of ancient nobility got over him, and he ended up discharged due to lack of discipline.

Feeling betrayed, but eager for adventure, Cnossos stumbled upon Atlas, a team of mercenaries from Earth who found work in Kash’ka as private security. He taught them what he knew and they went abroad the galaxy as hired guns and bodyguards. With them he got his nickname, Bigtail .

When Karshok's forces abruptly invaded, Atlas team went to battle. However, only Cnossos made it out, saved by the Autumn Star whom he later joined. He does not know the fates of Atlas team--he assumes they were KIA.

Upon boarding the Ghiak Feith flagship, Autumn Star's frenzied A’kasa charged the bridge headon, allowing the others to flank Karshok. Driven by primal instinct, Cnossos relentlessly pursued Karshok's panicked foes and brutally gunned them down, not stopping until his body shut down from excessive overexertion.

After the Great War, his displayed pride was cut short--he found out his father, brothers and Xuhlti had all fallen in the defence of Kash’ka. Afterwards, his mother would unexpectedly die over health complications.

Other: Cnossos tends to be stoic and stolid. He is cold-blooded--as would be expected of reptilian beings--though his suit's thermoregulator automatically adjusts to keep his body temperature optimum.

Since his tail is large, long and heavy, it drags behind him wherever he goes, slowing him down. It does, however, serve as a strong propeller for swimming. Due to the semi-amphibious physiology of reptiles and experience as a diver, he can hold his breath for about half an hour.

He possesses the following weapons in addition to his armour's wrist-mounted vibroblade:

XZ-20

An old-fashioned but big, powerful, heavy pistol with six .410 rounds per clip. Also mounted with a flashlight.

M-909 Q

Although somewhat old-fashioned, this reliable rapid-fire beast unleashes a brutal twenty-round barrage of R.I.Ps (radically invasive projectiles). It will make quick work of any lightly armoured foe--anyone unarmoured would be an afterthought!

8 RGZ

This state of the art assault rifle fires .223 tungsten alloy high velocity bullets from a thirty-round magazine. Effective at piercing armour.

REG 5

A powerful rifle with a high-powered scope, capable of firing projectiles at supersonic speeds due to its inbuilt miniature mass accelerator.

Cnossos has a thick accent and a voice so deep it's hard to understand.

Dylan stepped into the room, and was somewhat surprised to find the Captain in that state. He was not usually the one to bring meals to her, so even if she had received visitors like this before, for Dylan it would have been a rare occurrence. Despite his earlier flirtatious banter with Kat, he suddenly found himself nervous. Involuntarily, his gaze briefly swept across her figure for a brief moment, before he forced himself to look her in the eye.

"Brought you some food," he said, holding out the bowl. "Had been hoping for a conversation, too. But I suppose this is a bad time?"

Nyam stormed into the cockpit with ill grace, in her civilian clothing, (grey tanktop and matching grey camo pants,) carrying a large box of tools. Her metallic boots clacked loudly on the ship's floorboards as she moved with abandon towards a black scorch mark on the wall.

"Heard gunshots. Again." Nyam expressed to the room in general, though only Booker was in it. Their was no attempt to conceal her irritation as she thudded her toolbox to the ground and began retrieving implements of her trade. First, a welding tool of sorts that would unblemish the scorch marks. Choosing to otherwise ignore the Autumn Star's pilot, Nyam got to work.

About to decide to head up to the bridge and fall asleep in his seat, Nyx was saved from that by the sudden announcement about dinner. A moment of hesitation was all it took to fire out that he definitely could go for some food, especially if they were actually on their way to a dangerous situation. Maybe there wasn’t any indication of that yet, but he’d been around these situations long enough to know they really never went as easily as they should.

It was a bit strange having meals available at such regular intervals, and was actually one of the hardest things to get used to. He had become accustomed to not eating for a while during most of his life, and even now he was worried that being here was making him go a bit soft. If he was in this for the long haul, as he hoped, it wouldn’t matter as much, but jumping from life to life before now made that feel...less than realistic.

Mentally shrugging to himself as he approached the kitchen - such internal debates were fairly common, even now - he sauntered in and commented, once he was sure the person he thought was actually there, “You taken that job officially yet? Seems like you’re handing out dinner more often than the actual cook.”
Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

"Nah, I'm nice enough to let Dylan keep his job. After all, if I'm stuck cooking all day, how will I cause trouble for everyone else?" Kat smirked.

She handed Nyx a bowl of stew, sticking a spoon into the bowl as she turned. "What have you been up to all day?"

((Hiya Azi. Sorry, but I can't accept a krogan on the basis that it is a race literally ripped from Mass Effect. I am not comfortable with having a copyrighted race in a universe that came from my imagination. Please use one of the races provided or come up with a new one that would belong in this universe!))

Jaden stares silently and unblinkingly at Dylan, her expression stern. The door automatically slides shut behind him. She folds her arms, her gaze darting down to take in the sight of her food, before looking back up at him. "....Hm," she states at last, before moving towards her desk, leaving sodden footprints behind her. Grabbing a smaller towel, she begins squeezing locks of hair within its folds.

"Conversation about what?" She asks bluntly, raising an eyebrow as she slowly towel dries her hair.

Dylan shrugged, the offered food still in his hand. "Oh, nothing serious. Thought you might want someone to vent to after the latest incident. Or maybe reminisce about previous events. I don't know. Anything that might pass the time. Not much to do lately, with the A'kesa taking their sweet time."

"Gets that boring in the kitchen, hm?" Jaden comments dryly, before rewrapping her towel around herself so as to secure it whilst she reaches to take her bowl. She sits down at her desk, and takes a bite. Chewing thoughtfully and methodically, she gazes at nothing in particular. "They are somewhat. But they're faced with the reality that we have what they need. They don't want to bow to criminal pressure, but they don't want to lose their research. So maybe they're trying to figure out how to get it without having to pay for it. Politicians are idiots - they'll come around eventually."

"The rusty cogs of bureaucracy spin ever onward," remarked Dylan. "You think we're in for some trouble? If they send enough ships to meet us, they might think we'll give it up without a fight. Then they'll get to say they apprehended us too. Won't surprise me if they blame us for stealing the research in the first place, given how much the galaxy seems to hate us." He shrugged. "They won't win, of course. Whatever they throw at us, we probably survived worse odds."
