"Aktil Sharpknife, working towards a PhD in xenobiology. Experienced in field research in a variety of environments and served as a combat medic in my younger years."
Aktil was big and solidly built, hardly unusual for a vesk, wearing simple utilitarian armour and a tabard decorated with a few sigils denoting prominent achievements and campaigns. It was a sparse scattering thus far, but then, he was still young yet.
---------------------------
So, I've been turning a few concepts over in my head and have arrived at a vesk academic. Naturally, given that vesk social advancement centres on the performance of mighty deeds, any ambitious academic is going to hone their combat abilities, and Aktil's studies into the life sciences tie in well with his talents as a vanguard. What is life, after all, but a systemic harnessing of entropy?
I'll need a bit of time to organise a character sheet, and I've left it too late to get it done before the deadline, but I'm thinking a scholar theme, medic archetype and inversion aspect will cover the lead biologist and team medic aspects nicely.
If there are any shipboard roles in need of filling, I may be able to include the relevant skills, depending on the role.
