<strong>Name</strong>Alexander Illyetchin<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>32<br/><br/><strong>Gender</strong>Male<br/><br/><strong>Crew Role</strong>Mercenary<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>At well over six feet Alexei as he is often called stands over most. His ethnicity is somewhat confused with a mix of Northern European, Russian and East Asian influences. He is well-trained without being beefy. He has long tousled brown hair with dark eyes and with usually some well-maintained dark stubble on high cheek bones.<br/><br/>Alexei usually feels most at home in uniform, or uniform-like clothing but sees the use of combining it with more dirt resistant clothes. To avoid the grey of the Alliance and the brown of rebels he usually wears black or tan with bronzed details. Uniform jackets with high collars and starched white shirts are often mixed with cargo-pants and serious work boots.<br/><br/>Under his clothes he has a few markings which easily identifies him. Three long scars run diagonally across his back from being disciplined in the navy. He also have tattooed military insignia on his upper-arm and shoulder giving away his earlier involvement with the shock-troops of the Alliance.<br/><br/>(I have an image but I'm not sure how to upload it)<br/><br/><strong>Brief History</strong>He grew up in a poor but principled family on one of the core planets. Growing up in a fully Chinese-speaking and ethnically Chinese area his first language is Chinese and he was always considered a bit odd, outside of his family. His father and mother gave him a strong view of what is right and wrong and the importance of moral integrity.<br/><br/>Alexei bought the talk of the barbarity of the rebels and his parents supported him joining the Alliance navy at an early age. He was a hard loyal worker and he rose in ranks quickly. He was at Serenity Valley leading a team of elite shock-troopers and long saw it as his most heroic effort in his life. He progressed up in the ranks and became an intelligence officer pursuing the scattered rebels. It wasn't until he had risen to the level where he came into contact with the blue-handed men that he started to question the goals of the Alliance. When he saw them experimenting on youngsters he decided it was time to leave. He faked his own death in a convincing manner, so convincing that his parents bought it, something that still pains him.<br/><br/>Alexei still holds on to his view of good and evil, of black and white. If he believe your cause is good he is as loyal as an old German Shepherd but if he thinks that his employer is in general causing ill then he may disappear without trace. He has little experience of  the opposite sex but is looking forward to exploring feelings that he often repressed in the interest of his career. He is a gentleman to the tip of his fingers.<br/><br/>He often feels guilty about his past in the Alliance and it makes him try harder to befriend Brown Coats, something that is not very often reciprocated. He may often seem cold and calculating but he is not without a sense of humor. At the moment Alexei feels goal-less and adrift and needs something to work towards.<br/><br/>Alexei is well versed with the Alliance military and has first hand intelligence of their tactics, resources and fire-power. He is also a born soldier with both tactical skill, a steady hand with all kinds of firearms and courage when called for.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
