Personal Information



"Orobos, a sort of sentient carpet by the looks of things," -Gunnery Sergeant Jager Luth



Skills and Personality


Developed skill with a vibroaxe which was used to cut the thickest of ice for export. Has a mistrust of Rodians.

Orobos looks on himself as a kind of keeper of the squad. Keeping a eye on those injured or new to the squad he does his best to ensure their safety. He feels it is best should the squad leader, Tanus Solvona who is the longest serving squad leader Orobos has ever served with, draw his war hammer to accompany him with his vibro-axe along with any other member of the squad who favours close quarer fighting. Joking at akward and relaxed times alike is an unfortunate trait Orobos has picked up from Garryll Gates after a long line of missions served together. Orobos has held back on drinking, a habit he developed after joining the Corps, ever since an unfortunate incident involving a former squad leader, a smuggled bottle of whiskey and the military campaign on the ice planet Hast which saw the death of two of their squad members.



Serious Injuries


Orobos lost his right hand because of a grenade on Tormar when on an operation with his former squad Dark Dragoons and Eclipse squad.



Bio



Orobos has come from a family where nearly all male members were made spearmaster in the village which they lived. His father (the current spearmaster) thought Orobos everything he knows about hunting. When not hunting, they would cut ice and head north of the village where there was a large open plain. Here ships would land. The planet, Toola, had been little affeted by wars apart from that between the former Empire and the Rebels.


Several whipid factions and tribes, including that in which Orobos was a part of formed a coalition in response to contact from the Galatic Empire. This coalition was in favour of Imperial support and technology in exchange for the implementing of conscription for the Stormtrooper Corp. This favour of the Empire was met with staunch resistance from the rest of the Whipid polulation who were either in favour of a Galatic Republic or some other governing formation.


The Site that is used for training is also used as an Imperial Recruiting station for the Vast Empire. Forces of Thrawn and of the New Republic. Mostly larger Whipids are recruited due simply to their imposing size. Orobos declined many times. He had his duties as Spearmaster. He had his wife and the rest of his tribe to look after. However he lost his wife and vital members of his tribe when they attempted to oust a dangerous group of snow daemons they knew were roosted near their village. After that he passed his duties to a member of the council he had formed in order to run the tribe more effectively. He accepted the latest offer of a Imperial Officer to join.


The only possesions to speak of before he joined the Stormtrooper Corp were his vibroaxe and several meagre trinkets such as a neklace with shards of a Motmot tusk along with that of a pelt of fur taken from a Motmot.

Orobos recieved his training as a stormtrooper and was assigned to a squad. The first squad he was attached to was the Dark Dragoons. He went on many mission with them and expieriancing many changes in the command of the squad. The Squad Leaders changed frequently as the Assistant Squad Leaders did. He rose from the rank of Private to Senior Sergeant while he was a member of the Dark Dragoons.


As the squads in the company shifted there was an uneven ammount distibuted between the two platoons. The dying Dark Dragoons squad was moved from Wilcard Platoon to Storm Platoon. The squad was renamed Blackjack. Among other things the squad was given new equipment and assigned a new role in the Stormtrooper Corp.


Orobos has accompanied this new reformed squad from the start seeing new members and old come and go, taking part in numerous operations as well as operations the platoon and company was deployed on. During his duration in the squad he operated as a Fire Team Captain for a short duration and was also promoted to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant which he holds today.
