Description:
Ibram is a tall, thin, broad shouldered young adult with short hair, and sharp eyes. Despite being broad shouldered, he has a guarded, slightly withdrawn demeanour, like he’s constantly pressing through a crowd and doesn’t want to hit anyone. He wears casual attire whilst not on duty, and favours a green sleeveless jacket with a hood – a personal item from home.

Physical weaknesses:
Ibram suffers from general unfitness, and has mild joint problems in cold environments.

Personality Diagnoses:
Ibram is usually an open and charming man with a smile on his face. Having had to do a lot of business for his Dad back home, he can be very diplomatic. He has a sharp wit about him, and is considered quite intelligent, although he prefers not to show it off. Ibram likes to “switch off” from the world every now and then, becoming very reserved, quiet and thoughtful, which is sometimes mistaken for reclusive-ness. Ibram rarely gets into arguments, especially between friends, and likes to sit on the fence unless he feels strongly about something. Whilst never considered “the joker”, he never-the-less has a smart comment to make every so often. Ibram has always been respectful of his superiors, and is good at following orders that he agrees with/understands, however problems sometimes occur when he is told to do something he doesn’t like. And he’ll usually let you know that he doesn’t like it.

Quirks
Often likes to lead people through circular conversations/discussions, possibly in an attempt to confuse them/put them off guard.
Also likes to play “Devil’s Advocate” a lot.
At the moment, Ibram is going through a period of mourning over the loss of a loved one, however this rarely shows, and is expected to pass.
Usually tries to prove to the world that he can do something/is worth something. Possible result of child-hood bullying.

Worst Identified Trait:
When he back chats. Thankfully, this is limited to when he disagrees with something, which is rare. (Possible indication this is based on principles.)

Pilot Diagnoses:
Wingman – Ibram likes working in a team, even if he would rather it be himself that is leader of said team. (Everyone has an ego.) Tests have shown that the more Ibram knows/gets on with his team mates, the better he works with them.

Skills:
Ibram has shown he is a quick and eager learner, with a sharp eye and a sound judgement.
He has also shown proficiency with personal firearms, and has taken courses in self-defence.
In terms of piloting skills, he already has the skills needed, and can already fly some civilian and ex-military vehicles.


Brief History:
Born on Yaga Minor, Ibram was raised by his father on the outskirts of the Yavvitiri Spaceport, where his father worked as a Deck-Chief. Ibram managed to pick up some skills in mechanics whilst watching his father work, but never devoted the time needed to master the subtle points. His father taught him how to pilot from an early age, and being close to a spaceport, he picked up various “tricks of the trade” from a few of the pilots that hung around the spaceport. Ibram was home-taught through the early stages of his life, however once his father set up his own business, Ibram was taught in an high-standard school in one of the neighboring cities.

It is thought that his experiences with home-tutoring lead him to have a constant thirst for knowledge and new experiences. Ibram was bullied a lot during his early life, and whilst usually this makes a child anti-social and depressive, as Ibram grew older he grew more open, and eventually the bullying stopped and he became a valued friend to many of his former bullies. This helped him develop a “thick skin” and also made him good at hiding negative emotions. A maxim he has always held onto is “Always look on the bright side.” Not much is known about Ibram’s mother, only that she was killed in a shuttle collision shortly after giving birth. Ibram’s uncle is part of the local Imperial Garrison, and so Ibram was exposed to the Imperial Army from a very early point. After passing his exams at the age of 16, Ibram took a citizenship course and passed at 17, which enabled him to join his father in the local business. He spent a year working for his father, before deciding to 'float' for a bit whilst he figured out what he really wanted to do.

Ibram eventually got engaged to a girl he had known since a very young age. Proposing a few months before he enlisted, Ibram and his fiancee Marisa has just moved into their own place before she also died in tragic circumstances. Whilst this didn't prompt Ibram's immediate enlistment, it did make Ibram want to leave Yaga Minor all together, with the eventual goal of military enlistment.

His father had no real qualms about Ibram joining the Navy, as he had expected him to join up much earlier, and the business was doing so well it didn’t need Ibram helping anymore. Ibram only had a few really close friends, which is how he liked it, and whilst they were sad, they were also moving on with their own careers anyway.

As it happened, the Carrack-class light cruiser Thespian had been docked at the shipyards for sometime, having needed repairs. Ibram had run into some of the crew as he was based at the spaceport at the time, and had made friends with some of them. Repairs almost complete, the Thespian was due to depart within the week, and Ibram learned from the crew that they were headed to the Rheagent system, home to an Imperial splinter faction known as the Vast Empire. Ibram sought permission from the Captain to accompany them, and enlisted upon arrival.

Having lived in around the spaceport all his life, Ibram already possessed the basic skills he needed to join the Navy, and so was more suited to life as a pilot as opposed to a soldier like his uncle.
