Bio;
Out of the entire Arik fleet there are few Generals as well respected and powerful as General Ratharmane. Known for his brutal effectiveness, ferocity, tactical prowess, battle scars, and larger Chin (By Arik Standards his chin is rather large), Ratharmane has made a career of serving the Arik Councilors with the utmost brutality and loyalty and has powered through incredible injuries in the name of his people's honor.
Gaining his signature eye patch and torn lip flesh early on in his career Ratharmane's gruesome appearance and incredible durability have served him well in gaining his revered reputation. His incredible tactics and ability to strike down any target he was pointed at soon gained him great favor with the Councilors and saw to his early promotion to General.
It was during one of his earlier missions that he fought a Dregotion Admiral on board the Admiral's Flagship and received several of his now iconic injuries. During the fight the Dregotion Admiral managed to gain the upper hand against the still young Ratharmane and broke one of his legs and sent him falling to the floor. Once upon the floor the Admiral proceeded to carve off Ratharmane's tail and stab him in the lower back in an attempt to paralyze him before carving open his stomach. As a final act of disrespect to dishonor him the Admiral did not finish Ratharmane off and instead left him to bleed to death (One of the ultimate disrespects in Arik culture) while he abandoned his now compromised vessel and activated the self destruct.
Ratharmane survived this encounter by crawling down three decks to the nearest escape pod, using an Arik Medical Stapler to stable his stomach wound shut, and waited for 4 hours before he was rescued. Upon rescue and after receiving medical treatment Ratharmane was told that he would never be able to walk again due to the spinal injure, while this later turned out not to be true Ratharmane has never been able to recover the lost muscle mass in his legs leaving his legs spindly and thin.
Since then he has fought in many wars, lost his left arm during his campaign to exterminate the majority of the Dregotion Royal families, and trained in many rituals to increase his combat skills. During the forty years after many of his injuries Ratharmane has become known to his people as the unbeatable warrior in both ground warfare and ship to ship engagements. As such he receives many offers by other large Arik houses to honor them by producing a child with one of their women or to train their existing children in battle.

Indeed there is, with a lot of stories behind them you can bet ^^ You know the alien who cut off his tail kept it, dehydrated it, and eats it like jerky on special occasions. lol Ratharmane's first name BTW is Artus.

lol normally it does but when the attacker stabbed Ratharmane in the spine he kinda messed that up and it never grew back.

Wow sounds like a BAMF! Is this an antagonist? He sounds like one. Also....I'm not sure how to ask this but, are their any prominent female characters? I know you've only shown like, two characters but I'm curious.

Thank you very much and for a while he is kinda, he doesn't really set out to bother the crew of the Defender. He just really acts on his orders and what he thinks is best for his people.
And oh my yes ^^ Please do forgive me, I am deeply sorry for not showing some of the more strong female characters and I will rectify that as soon as I can. I'm hoping to finish drawing the UCASC Council Members because the three women on the council are some of the strongest. There is also an Arik General named Draz who is a woman and managed to fight her way into a position of respect from her rowdier male counterparts.

I didn't assume anything. I pretty much figured you've only done two characters that I'd been seeing some down the road. Actually what I'm really excited to see are the crew of the main characters.

Is that so? Well I think I could start drawing the intrepid crew ^^

Would you prefer I start with some of the alien Crew-members or Humans?

Um, not sure. I guess it's you're choice. I'm excited to see either.

okay ^^ I think I'll start with Doctor Cherise Vega, our chief Medical and Science Officer. She's probably THE smartest person on the whole ship and pretty strong willed too.

I feel relieved that the medical officer is smart!

lol indeed ^^ In her backstory I have it that she turned down the promotion to Captain because it would've interfered with her various Scientific works and archeological studies.

command can be so time consuming and kind of a waste on a scientific mind.
