Bio
I grew up with nothing, once I was of age I decided to enlist in order to leave my hometown and the Military was one of the very few ways out. This ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. I found a brotherhood like I never knew before, I learned discipline, to have a "thick skin" and a bit of a dark humor, we all had different ways to cope. I did my time then went to college, after that I found a job, later on I moved to an even better job which is where I'm currently at. At this point I'm comfortable enough.

Main Franchises

 * 1) Star Trek - I love the Star Trek Universe, it has incredible potential. The lore has a lot of depth despite only shows and movies being considered canon. I think the franchise has as much potential as Star Wars, if not more. The need to connect everything like Star Wars does, make games, comics, shows, movies and novels all canon and in the same universe.
 * 2) Star Wars - Unlike most Star Wars fans, I'm not a fan of force users, my favorites are most non force sensitive. I love the Empire, it's style, their uniforms and the personality of many Imperials. Loyalty is something I appreciate and Imperials have that in spades.
 * 3) Mass Effect - Another incredible universe. The Asari, Krogan and others are some of the greatest species created in Science Fiction. The game Andromeda was trash but Shepard shall remain one of the greatest protagonists in history.
 * 4) One Piece - This is one of the greatest anime/manga ever written. I love the Marines in the manga and many gets a chance to shine which is hard in a story with that amount of characters.



Original Character

 * Star Trek - A former Starfleet officer. After a lot of disagreements with the Federation, he decided to leave. While in Orion space, he commandeered an Orion Interceptor, killed the previous owner (a pirate) and took over the ship. He recruited his personal crew and named his ship the Xtacy. After some years his crew earned a reputation as mercenaries who did almost any job as long as the pay was good enough. An extremely efficient crew not bound by Starfleet's many rules. The crew of the Xtacy took many jobs from the Orion Syndicate creating a trustworthy alliance between them.
 * Star Wars - A former officer of the Empire forced into mercenary work after the fall of the Empire. He took command of a TIE Reaper and renamed it the Xtacy. He recruited his own crew, some of them former Imperials. The crew took mercenary jobs and enjoyed any chance they had to hurt "rebels", or the "New Republic" as they called themselves.

Non- Protagonist Favorites
I usually don't like the main characters in stories, I find most of them generic and boring. It is the side characters in a franchise that make the story great. I love One Piece and yet none of the main characters except Robin would make it to my top 20 favorites. The same happens with most franchises except those like Mass Effect in which you have some control over the main character's decisions. Most protagonist are the generic "hero wannabe" type of characters which gets annoying really fast. Here's some of my favorite non-protagonists:


 * Sakazuki (One Piece) - One of the most hated characters in the One Piece fandom yet one of the greatest. His attitude towards criminals is incredible and I agree with many of his actions. He's one of the most effective antagonist in fiction and he looks like a badass which he is. I can actually see myself in Sakazuki.
 * La'an Noonien-Singh (Star Trek) - Chief of security of the Enterprise under Pike. She is a warrior and a survivor. She has been through a lot yet continues to fight. A woman with a strong will and a soldier, she has my respect.
 * Alecia Beck and Ellian Zahra (Star Wars) - Two incredible and loyal women of the Empire. They have everything, looks, brains, personality and attitude. I hope top see more of them in the future
 * Aria T'Loak (Mass Effect) - The Omega expansion is one of my favorites mainly thanks to Aria. I always played a Renegade Commander since it's not only more fun, the "Renegade" decisions are ones that I would probably make. Aria and a Renegade Commander are perfect for each other and they shared a kiss at the end of the expansion.
