The Character
Nicolai Ginovef was born on Corellia, in Cornet City. His mother was a CorSec officer who was killed when he was two, and his father was a mid-level government employee. Raised by his father, a pro-Imperial supporter, along with his younger sister Terri and older sister Melisa, he initially wanted to join the Imperial Navy as a TIE pilot. However, he grew to dislike the Empire, and wanted to become a pilot for CorSec instead. Unfortunatly, this caused an uproar with his father, and he was disowned.
Shortly thereafter, Nicolai joined CorSec, becoming an X-Wing pilot for CorSec's Tactical Response unit. It was here he met Sara Korvain, who was initially his wingmate, and later the two became romatically involved. However, in a battle over Corellia engaging a pirate, Sara's X-Wing was critically damaged and crashed, with her in it, killing her.
Following this, Nicolai volunteered to fly for a small squadron of RZ-1 A-Wings that CorSec TacRes had secretly aquired. He served out the remainder of his career in CorSec, leaving after 5 1/2 years of service. He spent another six months with Corellian Engineering Corporation as a test pilot, where he aided in testing the ScramJets for the V-Wing airspeeder.
Once his time was up with CEC, he moved on to join the New Republic, going in through the Academy, and coming out in the top percentile of his class as a 2nd Lieutenant. Upon graduation, he has been assigned to Zealot Special Operations Unit, currently undergoing training.
Nicolai tends to keep most people at arms length these days, not easily making friends anymore. Though he strives to work with a unit, after that, he finds himself at odds with most of his comrades anyways, and has as such, decided not to waste anyone's time with his personal life, and simply not let them see enough of the personal Nicolai to cause issues. However, he has little patience for anyone who doubts his abilities, or wastes his time. He also has very clear morals about combat, and maintains that even now, there is still some honor in battle, and killing non-combatants is a dirty trick used by cowards who cannot win in a straight fight. Most of his freetime is spent by himself, studying the weapons systems used by the major galactic powers, or at the range with his P-11.
On top of his piloting skills, he is also a fairly decent shot with most weapons, and even rated as a sharpshooter after some practice, though it was noted by CorSec he lacked the patience to become one of their snipers, and his tendancy to get an itchy trigger finger barred him from that service. However, his records with CorSec indicate that he places his comrades above the mission, and while that sounds bad on the surface, the meaning is more aimed to indicate that he would rather fail a mission than leave a teammate to die.
Appearance
Nicolai is an averagly built Human, not physically imposing in any manner, but certianly tries to keep himself in shape. He has no distinguishing marks on his body.
Mission Load-out
- BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol (Aquired from CorSec, permitted to retain)[Nicolai prefers to keep the DL-44 on him at all times, believing that for a backup weapon, a DL-44 will most certianly floor a target in the first shot, and if they get back up, they wont be too steady]
- BlasTech E-11/H Blaster Rifle [A heavier hitting, slightly larger variant of the Imperial standard issue E-11, the /H model boasts firepower more on par with the Republic-prefered A-280, with only the cost of the E-11's range to a degree.]
- BlasTech P-11 Designated Marksman's Rifle [Though the P-11 can trace its origins to the E-11, it has been more refined into a sniper weapon. By extending the range from 300 meters to 900, adding a Sharpshooter V scope (comes with NV, IR, UV modes), and manufacturing the weapon very preciely, the P-11 is a very accurate weapon. Unfortunatly, it is also incredibly fragile, and when not in use, must be stored in its special carry case. It also can only use match-grade powerpacks to achieve its range. Still, as a sniper weapon, it is very precise in the hands of a skilled shooter](This is only brought on missions in which it is of any use to the mission.)
- Flashbang Stun Grenade [By creating a very loud bang, and a very bright flash, this grenade allows personnel to storm a room and take down their stunned opponents, who are incapable of reacting properly, if at all.] (If taken at all, Nicolai takes only 4)
- Fragmentation Grenade [Even in this day and age of hightech weapons and explosives, nothing can substitute the effectiveness of a device exploding and sending shrapnel everywhere to clear an area out.] (If taken at all, Nicolai takes only 4)
- Standard Issue Blast Vest [Essentially a vest designed to stop a small part of blaster fire, and a good ammount of a physical impact, a blast vest offers decent torso protection without sacrificing movement] (Until better armor is located, Nicolai will typically wear this. A helmet may be taken as well if nessesary)
- Standard Issue Combat Fatigues [For some reason, Nicolai prefers to wear camo fatigues appropriate to the locale being operated in if not going undercover. Therefore, he has several different patterns. Because what idiot wants to wear stark white and stand out?] (Patterns: Tiger Stripe, Flektarn, Chocochip Desert, Splitter Urban, Arctic, Black)
(More will be added and this is always subject to change)
