Tarnic is 5’7 and, as a direct result of this, was rejected from the Core’s military program; thereafter he joined with a large band of mercenaries and is currently assigned as security detail aboard the Shadowsail. Coming from a heavily military background, he considers merc-work inconsequential and he has a burning desire to be accepted into the Core military.
He has sharp, well-defined features and is normally very fit and active. He has quick reflexes and is respected by his unit for both his combat experience and his decisive leadership. His taciturn attitude does not however make him a natural leader. His quiet, and seemingly aggressive, nature often put him apart. Tarnic’s strong dislike for unnecessary noise limit his socialisation (both verbally & musically).
