STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Physical Fitness: Since retirement, Garrus has continued his daily fitness regimen involving sparring, running, and weight lifting. He maintains a high level of physical fitness despite his increasing age. People around him would say they think he's preparing for something but what, it's anyone's guess.
+ Intuitive: Years of dealing with new rookies and hotshot pilots has given him a keen eye for reading people and situations. He has an uncanny ability to find things out that may not be common knowledge. In addition he is very good at reading people, from something as simple as how they're feeling or if they're trying to hide something. He has a strong "Gut" instinct and he's rarely if ever wrong.
+ Knowledgeable: Many years of personal experience have given Garrus a wide range of knowledge and skills. While his true love has always been flying, now that he's retired he's also been able to get a wide range of other skills under his belt, allowing him to be more versatile, able to solve problems without having others do it for him. He is always drumming up random bits of knowledge.
+/- Honest: Garrus is a straight shooter, he doesn't bother sugar coating things and has the bad habit of speaking the truth, even if that can sometimes get him in trouble. He won't outright tell a lie, and if he is being forced to, he will likely stay silent rather than lie outright. Honesty is a good policy, but even that can backfire at times.
+/- Informal: It created many tensions for him when he was a member of the Galactic Republic, but he was extremely informal and didn't see the benefit in useless formality. He would often drive straight to the point of an issue rather than tiptoe around it. It gained him great respect from the men and women under his command and those around him as he was not afraid to address an issue, though he was often criticized by his superiors and peers alike for his apparent "Lack of professionalism"; however people who worked under him had a different perspective on the matter entirely. He's not afraid to call bantha-poodoo regardless of your rank or station.
+/- Pessimistic: Due to his experiences with the Republic as well as in general, he has become quite the pessimist and near always find the glass half empty. While this allows him to plan for the worst case scenario, he can come off as uncaring or abrasive at upon first impression. Once he knows you well enough, his pessimism turns less into seriousness and more into a joke of sorts.
- Afraid of Attachment: Again, in part to his experiencing many losses of friends, colleagues, and students/new pilots, he has a fear of becoming over attached and tends to keep people at a distance. Professionally he excels however on a personal level he has a hard time opening up.
- Has a drinking problem: Since his retirement, the bottle has not been kind to him. He almost always carries a flask. At first glance it looks like any other flask but on the rear, mostly covered by a silk cloth is a name engraved in its surface, "Trig "Zippo" Deglan. If he goes for long periods without alcohol, he tends to get irritable and has begun to develop shakiness.
- Haunted: His memories are those of loss and sorrow. It commonly causes him to get a lack of sleep and has prevented him from getting into a cockpit since his retirement. He prefers to stay on the ground, but still loves designing and working on ships. He is an expert at flight tactics, both in and out of atmosphere.
APPEARANCE:
Garrus is one tall womp rat. Measuring in at six foot four and a hefty two hundred and thirty pounds, it's a wonder they ever let him fly at all. Now a retired fighter pilot he has lost a lot of his boyish charm and in place now exhibits a "Been there done that" swagger. His blond hair, once light, now maintains a dirty hue to it. He keeps it cropped short on the sides though he's let it grow out on top and typically swipes it to the side. His piercing blue eyes and lazy grin are hard to read and you'd better hope you're not trying to pull the wool over his eyes, it won't work. You know what they say about old habits. Garrus keeps a close shave most of the time, he's never felt comfortable with more than a little bit of stubble dusting his chin.
BIOGRAPHY:
Garrus was born in space on a medium size freighter somewhere between Telos and Nar Shaddaa. He spent his younger days helping his father with their goods and parts transport business. As a young man he was restless and as soon as he was able, he split from his family. He never saw them again. He enlisted with the Galactic Republic, eventually becoming a fighter pilot.
After being a fighter pilot, a squadron leader, and then eventually a CAG, he retired. He had become disillusioned with the Galactic Alliance and had eventually come to the conclusion they were doing more harm than good... he lost his motivation and faith in the cause. It wasn't the only factor in his retirement.
SHIP: Will not fly. Hires transport, usually nothing smaller than a freighter.
KILLS: NPC's only. (In history).
BOUNTIES COLLECTED: None.
