* '''Quarters''': While sparse and uncluttered he does like to keep his space comfortable. Various scatter cushions adorn the seating in bright colours while he keeps his ceremonial weaponry on proud display. He has a medium size aquarium in which he keeps an assortment of tropical fish.  
* '''Quarters''': Sparse but comfortable. A few framed photographs of various accomplishments hang off the wall along with his service record. Traditional swords (both his Gorn sword and Marine saber) are mounted crossed behind his well kept desk.


* '''Favorite Room''': He tends to enjoy anywhere food is, either in the various café's and restaurants or even occasionally joining the mess crew preparing his specialty grilled meats (which always go down a treat).
* '''Habits''': Tends to drum his fingers when impatient, usually one of the few tells that he’s getting irritated.

* '''Personality''': He's very professional on duty, typically Gorn when it comes to his work ethic although that doesn't stop his cutting sense of humor coming through. Off duty however he tends to surprise people with how laid back he can be, enjoying good company (and good booze if he can find some!). Surprisingly even tempered despite his fearsome appearance, it takes a lot to make him angry and he tends to make a good, devoted friend to those that earn his trust.

* '''Command Style''': He doesn't like to micromanage. He feels that junior officers reporting to him should be capable enough to make their own calls, with him to support and advise. Failures despite hard effort are met with a pat on the back and a promise to find the lessons learned. Failures due to incompetence are met with stern punishment.


* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': He likes to cook, in fact he -loves- to cook. He occasionally works in one of the stations café's as a guest chef serving his legendary grills.

* '''Ambitions and Goals''': Tatash wants to progress well in Starfleet. He hopes deep down that the exchange program will once more prove that Starfleet and the Hegemony are capable of being allies, or at least friendly towards each other.  
* '''Ambitions and Goals''': Now he's recovered his rank within Starfleet, the only goal he has is to keep those under his protection safe from harm and to serve them in their times of need.
   
   
* '''Physical Limitations''': Speed, or a lack of. He can’t keep up with a decent athlete, preferring instead to rely on his massive strength to find solutions. He also does not have a great deal of dexterity or technical knowledge beyond defensive and offensive systems and weaponry.

'''Pre-Starfleet'''


Tatash has always been following a military career. While the Gorn are a civilised race, their culture still adheres to old traditions of being born into roles based on lineage. He has strove to do well by his father and serve within the Gorns fearsome ground military forces (the GGF).

Line 111: Line 113:
It was this exposure to mankind and other races within the Federation that prompted the Hegemony to 'volunteer' him for a diplomatic exchange program. One Federation officer was chosen to serve within the Gorn military arm, while Tatash was chosen to start from the ground up in Starfleet Academy in order to try and mend some bridges between the two powers. While older then most other cadets, his front line experience gave him a large advantage playing 'catch up' with the younger trainee's.

It was actually an enjoyable experience for him, once people got over the initial culture shock, he found that he had made some good friends. It was inevitable though that some resentment still remained and Tatash has always been cautious about getting too close to more senior officers that may remember or have lost men in the conflict between the two powers.

The Academy was actually an enjoyable experience for him, once people got over the initial culture shock, he found that he had made some good friends fairly easily. It was inevitable though that some resentment still remained and Tatash has always been cautious about getting too close to more senior officers that may remember or have lost men in the conflict between the two powers.  


The transition was difficult, after all Starfleet was a lot more relaxed then the rigid hierarchy of total obedience that existed within the Gorn forces. He has however grown to understand that the more pliable structure is far better for adaptability and letting individuals shine beyond their posting.

Line 117: Line 121:
His service on the Columbia and the Avandar has helped him grow rapidly from a self-imposed outcast to finally being able to open up to those around him. The kindness he was shown on board both ships created friendships that were tested in hardship and in celebration, ones that he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

Now he continues to serve with distinction on-board Starbase 118 itself as part of it's operations team. Unique challenges, beyond the usual remit of a single starship, ensure he remains challenged and lets him continue to improve his own abilities.
Now he continues to serve with distinction on-board Starbase 118 itself as part of it's Marine force. Unique challenges ensure he remains challenged and lets him continue to improve his own abilities. While it's a lot different to a traditional posting on a Starship, he's rapidly starting to enjoy the Starbase more then his previous postings due to not only the people, but the whole society that's built up on board.
 
Finally he's managed to achieve everything he'd left behind on Cestus, regaining his former rank and forging a career that would make any officer proud. Now at last, the only thing left for him to do was to strive and improve himself even further to surpass anything he'd achieved before. One life left behind and a new, better one taking it's place.
