He keeps his ceremonial sword hanging above his bunk, to remind him of his duty from dawn to dusk (and also as a convenient weapon). He also keeps tropical fish in as big a tank as permitted, finding their movement almost hypnotic, and far more hypoallergenic then most pets. Always kept at 32 degrees centigrade. | ||
* '''Favorite Room''': Usually an Arboretum if one is available, space has too little color and life without one. Can also be found in the ships lounge/bar. | * '''Favorite Room''': Usually an Arboretum if one is available, space has too little color and life without one.

* '''Mannerisms''': Like his movement, he doesn’t really express with his hands or body language as much as most other races. His posture is kept fairly neutral, generally he talks slowly, appreciating that some races may find him hard to understand. He has however taken advantage of the translator not recognising several Gorn expletives, useful for moments of utter frustration. | * '''Mannerisms''': Like his movement, he doesn’t really express with his hands or body language (except for an angry snarl if warranted) as much as most other races.

* '''Religion/Spiritual Devotion''': Agnostic. He believes an infinite universe means that anything is possible, he just wants to see it to believe it. | * '''Religion/Spiritual Devotion''': Agnostic.

* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Enjoys sparring, training with both ranged and melee weaponry. Once he feels comfortably out of his shell, he can be found usually inhabiting the ships bar while off duty, people watching. | * '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Enjoys sparring, training with both ranged and melee weaponry.

* '''Likes''': A good steak, cooking (Barbeque food is his specialty), competing in martial tournaments. He also enjoys spending time in the holodeck recreating large parks and woodlands, to alleviate the feeling of being cooped up on ship | * '''Likes''': A good steak, cooking (Barbeque food is his specialty), competing in martial tournaments.

He tends to suffer a mild allergic reaction around them. Also, facial hair disconcerts him, something about mammals ability to randomly grow hair from places just seems bizzare. | ||
* '''Ambitions and Goals''': To do well in Starfleet, and by proxy help reopen a good dialogue between the Federation and the Gorn following the unfortunate conflict in recent years. | * '''Ambitions and Goals''': To do well in Starfleet, and by proxy help reopen a good dialogue between the Federation and the Gorn following the unfortunate conflict in recent years. | ||

* '''Temperment''' On duty, he is professional to the extreme, rarely indulging in frivolous conversation. Off duty however he’s far more relaxed and open to banter. He doesn’t anger quickly, preferring to remain as calculating and objective as possible, but once his temper is invoked it’s extremely hard to bring it back under control. It takes a certain sort of rare annoyances to make a cold blooded fellows blood boil. | * '''Temperment''' On duty, he is professional to the extreme, rarely indulging in frivolous conversation.

As a result of this, every action he takes is picked apart and over analysed afterwards, for his own peace of mind. He has a supportive but gravely ill father who he feels he has to 'take over' from after passing. | ||
* '''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. In Security situations, he’s the visible muscle while someone else would play the chaser. | * '''Physical Limitations''': Speed, or a lack of.

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. | Tatash has always been following a military career.

It was here that he was introduced to the human colonists, and found that both Gorn and Human had managed to exist peacefully (after a brief conflict many years ago) and indeed build up a culture of mutual trust and friendship. | ||
When the brief conflict between the Federation and Gorn exploded in the mid 2380’s, Tatash was thankfully not part of it. Indeed, he strove to ensure that Cestus III was left well alone, ensuring (along with other officers) that the Colonists were treated as an independent faction rather than part of the Federation. This was agreed in earnest, to protect interests on both sides. | When the brief conflict between the Federation and Gorn exploded in the mid 2380’s, Tatash was thankfully not part of it.
