Name: Ali Gel
Species: Kig-Yar, T'vaoan
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Job:
Unlike many T'vaoan mercenaries and fighters these days Ali didn't serve in the Human Covenant war. Instead he was a Border Patrol Guard in the Gel lands, specifically a Coast Guard to keep the Sisterhood and other undesirables away from Gel shores. He volunteered for a transfer to a settlement security guard when Commodore (Kael) Gel got the request for troops, and has been staying at the settlement since then as a guard. Was decently well liked for listening to the settlers when they had issues and being one who enjoyed traveling to their residence to hear the issue first hand. Also well liked among the other miss-match of species who also served as security for being just a nice person to talk too and not a hissy rude Kig.
Appearance/weapons:
A pretty normal looking T'vaoan adult male without a huge amount of scars but does have a few from Sisterhood raids. He dyes his mane feathers cobalt blue color which fade to grey near the base. He does however keep his arm feather tufts short as he very much enjoys wearing long sleeves. His most recent outfit and one that he finds himself 'pacified' in now is a black UNSC hoodie Link which he was able to get from an online Human shipping company. Even though he cant use the hood he has no hate for Humans as he wasn't forced to fight them, and the hoodie is very comfortable to him...and he always wanted one. Under that he often just wears a simple T-shirt with a large neck hole for his beak.
Over this he wears a carry vest with armor plus places for ammo and other tools for his actual guard duty; flashlight (for if he can't wait for his eyes to adjust or to give to someone else), restraining cuffs, small lockpick set. And on his legs he just wears short pants to just before the second bend in his leg, with kneepads around his knee, and then often nothing on his feet. Eschewing the normal T'vaoan armor as he never served in the hated Covenant and so never owned a set and didn't feel like he needed to buy one. Often doesn't wear shoes or anything really on his head.
For weapons he uses a custom painted Kig-Yar B-R5 in what Humans would call a Dark Urban camouflage pattern with a extended ammunition tube, poking out further than the barrel, extending the capacity to 7+1 shells compared to the normal 4+1. The rifle is also carried with a rifled barrel for use with Heavy Slugs, as Ali had always been a decent shot. Besides this he was competent enough in Gel to be issued a single Gel wrist blade. And on both thighs he has a Boarding Pistol each for if he needs close range power and cant reload his R5. On his chest he normally carries a few shells but his main supply of shells is a bag on his belt, able to be shifted around to either side or his front for sitting but when on duty its moved to be behind him for easier grabbing of shells.
Basic History:
- Born to a long line of Coast Guards and sailors for Gel, his life path was pretty easy to see.
- Did well in training and his basic schooling, well enough to not only receive basic training in the Gel blade but also the right to carry it in public.
- Joined the Coast Guard when he was old enough and had a incident free first year besides some rescues.
- His first taste of real combat was from a Sisterhood night raid on his patrol craft. But their early warning system let Ali and his comrades know they were coming, and the ambush was turned on the Sisterhood fools. But their numbers were much greater so even with the first strike the boat was nearly lost. Of the eight guards only three survived, and one more died for poison on the way back to land.
- Since then Ali has made it a rule to always carry additional weapons in easy to reach spaces on his vessels, and started to get a bit of a reputation for a cautious but very effective guard.
- When he was 23 Commodore (Kael) Gel received a contract for some Guards for a newly made settlement. It was only for twenty as the Settlement wanted to get guards from other places to make sure everyone would feel safe settling there. Ali was one of the first to volunteer and joining him would be seven other coast Guards, four former Covenant Majors, and eight Gel University Graduates.
- The guarding went well and Ali enjoyed it and the people a lot, but very recently some odd activities have been happening that none of them had seen before. And settlers and guards were being found dead. The settlement activating their distress beacon after the fifth death. Which proved to be lucky for them as Prometheans attacked shortly afterwards. Nearly all of the settlement were injured and a good amount of them dead - but a UNSC vessel heard their distress beacon and arrived to assist. And after evacuating thats when even more issues came up.
