Captain Odbris currently serves as the commanding officer of the VIN Valor, one of the largest ships that serve in the Vanguard. A brilliant, if somewhat unconventional, Bith soldier. Captain Odbris is held in high esteem by his fellow officers.
History Overview
Born to Bith immigrants on Karufr. Odbris was raised in a family of scientists who focused all of their attention on furthering medical technologies. As a child, Odbris was frequently left to his own devices as his family kept their focus solely on their research. Whenever he spoke up to them about this, he would be locked up in his father's private study as a way for his parents to escape their nagging son. His father's study was however a vast library containing vast sources of information on an equally vast amount of topics. Like most children, Odbris had a fascination for dangerous occupations, such as law and military forces. This led him to study whatever information he could find in his father's study.
As a young adult, he would study abroad on Taruma. Here he became involved in a discussion with a military officer. The discussion would erupt in a full-fledged brawl over tactics, strategies, and the tasks of the military. When a Dark Jedi of Taldryan caught rumors of a brilliant Bith strategist, Nara was immediately apprehended and shipped off to the TMI where he was drilled into becoming a soldier. It was also during this time that the Bith's knowledge of acumen for unconventional, but working strategies was fully discovered. As he learned how to kill others, he became more and more of a pacifist. His unrelenting conviction to stop wars, save innocents - and soldiers, was found laughable but useful by TalSOC, who stationed him aboard a support/medical vessel.
As is the case with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, conflicts came and went at a rapid pace. This saw Odbris eventually reaching a point where he virtually took command of multiple large-scale fleet movements, despite his rank, and save more and more members of TalEx - and the face of his incompetent commanding officer. The Dark Jedi would reward the Bith with a "promise"; the promise of being able to make a change for those around him. It was an offer he could not refuse and he returned to TMI and signed into the Katarn Academy where, after his continued education, he would formally be granted the powers and responsibilities of an officer.
Captain Odbris currently serves as the commanding officer of the VIN Valor in the Vanguard. He gladly shoulders the burden of his responsibilities and has saved many lives since assuming command of the massive support vessel. He however hides a degree of frustration that he has not been able to make major changes as he was "promised", despite this, the Bith continues to serve diligently.
Physical Description
Having a rare, green complexion - owing to the climate of Karufr - Nara stands out from other Bith. His large, black eyes seem expressionless at a quick glance, but upon close inspection seem to hold a degree of constant irritation, possibly a result of having to serve in the Expansionary Force.
While standing at attention, the Bith measures in at 180 centimeters (5'11"), making him physically tall for a Bith. He does not hold the physique of a career soldier; while physically tall for a member of his species, his body isn't lined with heavy musculature. He does keep himself to a certain level of fitness, one adequate enough to complete his duties, but doesn't concern himself with much physical exercise despite his role as an officer.
Personality and traits
If there is one thing to say about Nara Odbris, it is that he is not a career soldier; he is a man that has an inherent disdain for conflict. Many wonder why Odbris is a member of TalEx, and a captain at that. An outspoken pacifist; the Bith is not afraid to voice his opinions, even to Taldryan's Dark Jedi. Odbris seeks to keep casualties to a bare minimum if a fight does break out. His disdain for combat was the very reason he was placed in command of the Valor as it serves the role of primary support vessel during battle group operations. As such, his unconventional personality and vision on conflict are put to good use.
The Bith spends his leisure time running battlefield simulations and tinkering with machinery. More so out of personal interest and enjoyment rather than need. His deep rooted interest in naval tactics came about as a child, where he was often times locked up in his father's private study, as a means of passing time.
