Tugarak

Tugarak is the Captain of the Ripple and a loyal follower of the Barraki warlord Carapar. He is unusally large and bulky for a member of his race, and bears reddish-brown natural armor the color of terracotta. His natural eye color is a bright fiery orange. As a result of his injury, he has lost the use of his right eye, which he covers with a leather patch.

He is motivated by a strong sense of loyalty, to his fellow crewmen, to his tribe and especially to Carapar. He greatly admires him and the other Barraki, and finds it very difficult to believe they could do anything immoral, or that the war they wage is anything less than necessary. He has a strong sense of honor, and is committed to fighting fairly, even if doing so would put him at a disadvantage.

Background
A member of Carapar's tribe, Tugarak immediately enlisted at the outbreak of the war, serving in the Barraki navy as a lowly security officer on board a small cargo barge. During his time in service, Tugarak quickly proved his bravery and resourcefulness, quickly rising through the ranks. When his vessel was breached by a Xian boarding party, he fought valiantly, holding off the invaders in time for his captain to evacuate the crew. He survived this encounter, but lost his right eye during the fight. He eventually gained the rank of captain, earning command of the Ripple. He hopes to transfer to a larger vessel in the future.

Powers, Skills and Equipment
Tugrak carries two curved blades with him at all times. These blades are unusually sharp, and capable of slicing through most known substances, including the armor of most beings. When thrown, they will almost always return to Tugarak's hand after hitting their target. As a the captain of his ship, he also carries a small kanoka launcher. His collection consists entirely of Weaken disks of various power levels and makes.

While he lacks any real powers of his own, he possesses a number of marketable skills. He is very skilled with the use of his two blades, making him a formidable fighter.While a capable fighter, he has very little experience countering kanohi or elementally based attacks. He benefits from years of experience around surface and airships, and possesses well-developed navigation and mechanical skills. He is trained to operate most common types of transports, including boats, airships, crawlers and flyers.
