Race Details: One of the few races of Brokenborne that can be categorized are the Marix. They fleet among the outskirts of towns and cities pilfering supplies from traders and farmers alike.

PERSONALITY
Alignment: Unlawful Neutral
Three Positive Traits: Courageous, Organized, Dedicated
Three Negative Traits: Arrogant, Self-Centered, Crude
Despite a rigidity enforced in the military Aemus has managed to retain his ideal that his life is greater than any other and so should not be forfeit for them. He can play a strong facade to please others and dupe them into believing he only has their interests in mind. Nonetheless when faced with a challenge far greater than himself he will lead the charge if need be. He takes great pride in his person, from attire, to comportment and even thought, all of which are concise.
OCCUPATION AND SKILLS
Occupation: Rifleman
Deck Style: Ranged / Might
Weapons: Steam Rifle / Sabre
Magic Class: N/A
Description: Rifleman encompass a relatively new addition to the military. At first training fell short of proper standards leading to inaccurate shots, exceptionally slow reload times and an overall ineffective though fearsome unit. With advances to technology the training ameliorated to an adequate degree. All soldiers were trained in navigation, basic survival, and strict drill. When faced with a superior force the drill enforced in them prevented moral from breaking and rifleman were known to die to the last man if ordered.
Deft Hands: Nimble and precise his hands make their into others pockets more often then they should.
Mechanic: Intrigued by the operation of steam power and its application he set about learning how to work nearly any machine, and more importantly, how to fix what he broke.
Kaleidoscope Genetics: Given the fact that their race does not hold up to the other three’s unities this category of races doesn’t have a racial trait that runs predominately throughout. They actually suffer from lack of a congealed genetic structure and may find themselves more prone to diseases because of such. Also the reproductive gender of this category may also find themselves infertile.
Advantages:
Strong Eyes – Capable of sights well into a hundred meters like most Marix this lends well to marksmanship principals.
Disadvantages: (See above.)
Deaf – Extremely underdeveloped hearing, to the point where his ears are nearly forfeit, means that little other than what is said directly to Aemus is heard.
The steam rifle used by Aemus is a military issue, bearing the insignia of the unit he fell out of. Though by right it is the kingdom's and not his he is hard pressed to be without it. The rifle works by manipulating a vessel pressurized with steam. Inside is a heating stone to maintain a high enough pressure for effective firing. Most canisters last four shots and most rifleman carry multiple canisters into battle. It fires a typical round shot.
REPUTATION AND PAST
Father: Drekus Meia
Mother: Elya Nores-Meia
Brother: Elik Meia
Uncle: Ultus Nores
Cousin: Beris Nores
What is your background? Born among the outskirts of a city Aemus made his childhood stealing small goods and breads from others. He gained a knack for it and along with his brother and cousin terrorized a few of the poorer merchants. His brother eventually married into a merchant caste which sparked a battle between the three friends. Beris attempted to strike down Elik's wife and was killed in the onset. Away at the time Elik learned of this a month later after Aemus had joined the Royal Army leaving it behind him.
How did you join the Army of the Dead? Previously a rifleman under the Royal Army serving in a cluster of units extending from old to new Aemus found himself without work when a cavalry charge tore through the ranks of his unit. Rather than die under the hurried steps of foot soldiers and horses he waited for the opportunity and ran. Though it took time, he found his way into Maelsec, a small town. He knew the title of deserter on his head was warrant of death and thought it would be better to live his last years as a noble among the Army of the Dead than a rat in the streets.
What is your reputation within the army? Aemus is known for being out of the way when trouble stirs, but never far. That has been the driving force to the small feuds he has within the organization.
