Full Name: Marcus Orleans
Colonial Rank: Captain
Callsign: Aries
Colony of Residence: Gemenon
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Birthday: October 14
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 194
Species: Albino rat
Eye color: Red
Fur color: White
Hair color: N/A
Markings: None of note
General Appearance: Fairly short, average build. When not on-duty, he just wears street-clothes. Not terribly intimidating on his own.
Personality: Very quiet. Almost never speaks, when gestures and actions can do the talking for him. Keeps mostly to himself; does so even more after the Cylons initially return. Rarely initiates conversation, and it's believed he actually tries to kill conversation when anyone tries to speak to him, by using one-word responses and noncommittal gestures as responses. Takes criticism and insults in stride, choosing to ignore the offenders rather than confront them. Though he has a death wish, he fights hard to protect others, and will not allow himself to be shot down without a damned good fight.
Field(s) of expertise: Hand-to-hand, melee weapons, archery, gunnery, and piloting for Vipers and Raptors alike. Completely socially inept. Doesn't listen to music. Shy.
History: He was raised to believe he was a mistake, by the religious zealots around him on Gemenon... Either a mistake by the gods, or a punishment from the gods to remind his parents of some sin or other. His parents, by contrast, showed him great support in everything he did, and tried to convince him he was their blessing, not their curse...but being the only albino in a very large family seemed to twist his views. After all, when your parents are the only ones who see you as anything positive, whereas the rest of the entire world sees you as a curse, who are you going to believe?
Out of respect to his parents, he never committed suicide. Out of gratitude to his parents, he chose the one path he believed would one day or another get him killed, while protecting the colonies from the various pirates and other elements that threatened their peace. It wasn't the Geminese who had made him cursed, so it wasn't their fault that he was a curse.
With this near-suicidal attitude, he flew into every combat situation without fear, and rapidly distinguished himself in a Viper. Though he eventually attained the rank of Captain, he lacked the leadership qualities necessary to be the CAG. He's a squadron leader, and has fought hard to keep from losing any of his men, by putting himself into dangerous situations. This was what earned him his callsign. The gods seem to have smiled on him, as well, for even being just a curse, he's still alive to continue attacking those elements that threaten the peace of the colonies.
Other Notes: None as of yet.

Think you might shave him down a few inches? Maybe 6?
- "I'm going to kill them all. That ought to distract them."
