Age: 27
Hair: White
Eyes: Blue-Grey
Birthplace: Andor
Languages: Fluent in English, Romulan, and Andorian dialects; basic/conversational Vulcan and Klingon

General: A bit sly and laid back, but also joking and snarky. Valoru tends to hang back until he feels like the fun starts, then he is fully engaged.

Strengths & Weaknesses: Valoru is proficient in many methods of martial arts, trained by his own people as well as Vulcans, Klingon, and Humans. He is quite a marksman in with basic phasers and phaser rifles, even though he prefers a nice automatic phaser rifle alongside a nice Romulan dagger. Unless he wears the dark grey cloak he has in his stow-away, he’s sticks out in a crowd.

History

Personal History
From a young age, Valoru was always trained in combat. It was not necessarily the common thing for his town or his family, but it was what he wanted and his parents provided. He served in local and global protection services (police, etc) before leaving Andoria for more study of martial arts. He studied with the Klingons (mok’bara), the Vulcans (suus mahna), and Humans (tai chi, aikido, taikwondo) for a variety of martial arts skills

He had floated in the galaxy getting trained and doing odd bodyguard jobs where possible. He eventually turned to mercenary work, but tried to stay clear of less-than-favorable dealings (he mainly worked for Federation entities and businesses).

Valoru eventually settled down on a small outpost and began working more closely with Starfleet. He received basic training - more like sailed through it - and then was given an honorarium from his homeworld for all he had done in protection of the innocent and Andorians and the Federation. These formative years on Starbase 49 made him a better person by far.

The Andorian enlisted in the Starfleet Marines, still a keen martial weapon. This was driven by his work with the officers on Starbase 49 and the strategy and logistics work he did therein. He rose up quickly through marine ranks to take charge of fire teams and sergeant for an entire squad. Eventually he did officer candidate school in Starfleet to take on Marine Officer positions of leadership.
