Major Tatash, a Gorn, is currently the Marine Lead with StarBase 118 Ops

Statistics

  • Full Name: Tatash Ssiolassh (Pronounced Soo-lash)
  • Date of Birth: 236006.18
  • Place of Birth: Ghdar
  • Age: 35
  • Gender: Male

Appearance

  • Height: 7’3”
  • Weight: 353 lbs
  • Eye Color: Yellow
  • Skin Tone: Blueish/Green scales
  • Birthmarks, Scars: Assorted, barely visible on his scales. Most due to various combat operations or over-vigorous sparring, plus a random console explosion..
  • Build: Muscular, broad. Hulking rather than agile.
  • Face: Long snouted for a Gorn. He has a lot of teeth on display as well, like a caricature of an old earth Crocodile.
  • Carriage: Slow moving and quite reserved, he moves with deliberate steps with very little superfluous motion.
  • Poses: Usually finds himself with hands clasped behind his back, or at an attention pose thanks to many years of drilling.
  • Taste in Clothing (when off duty): Simple. Jeans and a sweatshirt, nothing flash or fancy.
  • Handedness: Right
  • Voice: Deep, commanding. The translator still stubbornly refuses to get rid of the characteristic hiss on the 'S', he's just learned to deal with it.

Personal Details

  • 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.
  • 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. 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Wealth: Following a mining venture with his Brother, Tatash was bought out for a significant amount of Latinum that has left him quite well off, although on a Federation station he's having trouble finding anything to spend it on.

Family

  • Father: Talash

A veteran General in the Gorn Ground Forces, Tatash's father has always been an inspiration to drive him, pushing him through the challenges he faced in his younger years with a harsh, but fair hand. Talash always pushed Tatash to do his best and to hone his abilities. Sadly, in recent years Talash has suffered numerous bouts of poor health, resulting in him essentially handing over the family name to Tatash as he knows his own time is starting to draw to a close, much to Tatash's horror.

  • Mother: Ssiruo

His mother has been the wiser one when it came to bringing Tatash up, giving him the ability to be empathic towards those who suffer. It was Ssirou that inspired Tatash to devote his life to the protection of others rather then allowing his father to push him into permanent soldiering, something which has always been a point of contention between the two.

  • Siblings: Talash Jnr. (Brother)

Tatash's brother, the proverbial black sheep. While their father and Tatash chose to follow the martial career, Talash has been quite successful carving out a career as a trader. There are however many, many rumours and claims from various sources that he's actually smuggling contraband in his customised freighter and he does tend to 'fall into' wealth far too frequently. As expected he doesn't quite see eye to eye with Tatash, but they have an amicable relationship.

Background

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).

Inducted as an officer he was deployed to Cestus III after a few years cutting his teeth in heavy operations as part of the Kings Shocktroop Regiment he peaked at the rank of Major, one of the key officers in charge of planetary security. 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 and to prevent a large scale skirmish becoming a situation of total war.

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 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.

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.
