Personal History: Siyu Shan “Seriphyn” Inhonores was born in May 84 to Master Sergeant Augustus Inhonores of the Gallente Federation Army (now retired) and Commander Xiuying Inhonores GFN, amongst a subsistence community in rural Unelvoivat on Caldari Prime. He lived with his paternal family in Unelvoivat until his eleventh birthday, where he subsequently moved to the city of Hueromont on Gallente Prime. Inhonores lived with his uncle "Wong" in the old town/district of Easthaven.
 
During his adolescent years, Inhonores got involved with an Old Hueromont youth gang, which acted as a proxy on occasion for a Jin-Mei triad. In 99, he was arrested by the authorities and tried for various status and violent crimes. Under Federation Executive Order 14751 (see below), however, he was drafted into the Gallente Federation Marine Corps the following year as a judicial conscript in place of juvenile incarceration.
 
Marine Inhonores served approximately nine years in the GFMC, ultimately reaching the rank of Corporal. He saw tours in many theaters, including the outer Gallentean regions, Stain, and Lirsautton. His career was a mixed bag, being decorated and reprimanded almost in equal measure. In 109, he was transferred to the Gallente Federation Naval Academy as Ensign GFN after being successfully screened for hydrostatic capsule compliance. The screening took place on the request of Commodore Xiuying Inhonores GFN.
 
The outbreak of war with the Caldari State in June 110 saw Ensign Inhonores relinquish active service to be registered as an independent capsuleer, in order to be commissioned into the Federal Defence Union. He officially graduated from the Academy and was transferred to ready reserve status, being promoted to Sub-Lieutenant GFNR. Spending a year between private contracts with various corporations and the militia, Inhonores eventually became commanding officer of an FDU unit in September 111, in the wake of the major Federation defeats that had dominated prior months. From December that year way into 112, Inhonores' leadership and participation was crucial in the liberation of systems from Caldari State occupation.

Following these achievements, Inhonores rose in stature significantly, positively amongst several publics, and controversially within the capsuleer community. He achieved the FDU rank of Luminaire General in March 112. During the Sansha Resurgence in May that year, Inhonores received a personal stake in the conflict after an incursion in the Vevelonel star system, losing his fiancee and infant son to invading forces. They are believed to live on as True Creations commander, Slave Heavenbound02. These events increased Inhonores's fame and notoriety further.

Since then, Inhonores has continued serving the Federation military in various capacities. Most recently in midyear 114, he resigned his position from the Federal Defence Union, citing irreconcilable personal and moral differences with the activities of the capsuleer militia. He would serve as a Lieutenant Commander GFNR, carrying out operations in the humanitarian and local security spheres. In early 115, Inhonores would be dismissed from military service on medical grounds.

Citizen Assessment: Lieutenant Commander Siyu Shan "Seriphyn" Inhonores is a widely considered a "common man's officer" by publics on multiple worlds, particularly communities that are registered on the Federal Poverty Index. He remains heavily integrated with the Gallentean publics, unlike the majority of capsuleers, though active public relations endeavours have minimalized in favour of his duties and obligations. Inhonores previously associated with the military-industrial complex during the 112 victories, but he has since distanced himself from mainstream political forces. Instead, he has aligned with anti-administration blocs, called a "military traditionalist" by various circles. Inhonores no longer appears amongst military recruitment material, but his notability has remained unchanged.

Inhonores is a single father, his daughter being popular preteen superstar Anette Inhonores. This is considered an additional facet of his reputation, on top of his well-publicized bereavement. He is seen as an icon of endurance, persistence, and parental values against the various threats weathered. His permanent residence is within the Orvolle star system.

Inhonores is an active sportsman in various ball games, such as kendu kanarma. He is in possession of civilian dropship and ground vehicle licenses.

Psychological Evaluation: Lieutenant Commander Siyu Shan "Seriphyn" Inhonores has had a problematic upbringing and tumultuous career. While passing no judgement on the moral character of either mother Rear Admiral Xiuying Inhonores or father Augustus Inhonores, it is clear that the absence of parents and a stable family life during most of his childhood and adolescence has had a detrimental effect on his psychological maturation. It is understood that long-time childhood friend and late fiancee Rhea Heavenbound was the primary source of emotional and mental support for many years, until her untimely death in May YC112. However, upon assuming full parental responsibility of Anette Inhonores in that year, the Commander has exhibited relatively stronger degrees of emotional stability.
 
Outside of these private concerns, Commander Inhonores puts up a stable and highly professional front. His time as a capsuleer has seen his score on the Federation Cognitive scale rise dramatically from 49/2 (Poor) to 113/86 (Well Above Average), due to a combination of both neural adaptation to intelligence implants and a general development of academic ability overall. He can be considered loyal to his responsibilities and uniform first, though he maintains his long-established disdain for authority, especially political. Resentment of the self has nurtured the creation of a "hero complex", where Inhonores will impulsively risk his life or otherwise act altruistically for anyone from civilians to enemy combatants. This brashness is coupled with a morally inflexible nature.  Inhonores refuses to accept any means-to-an-end moralities, and is more concerned with doing what he considers immediate good instead of considering long-term consequences. Nonetheless, this self-imposed high moral standard coupled with a conscious awareness of his actions as a capsuleer has made him popular amongst citizens and soldiers alike, whom he appears to lead by charisma and example.
 
Commander Inhonores possesses the near-universal traits of exhibiting separate behavioural patterns via artificial communication mediums (such as FTL or GalNet) than in person. It can be assumed that hostile behaviour to other pilots via FTL/GalNet is due to an exhibited resentment of capsuleers overall. In instances of interacting in person, he is a friendly and confident individual who is polite and courteous, even to enemies. However, he is prone to physical aggression when either his person or moral code is antagonized. Only rarely is he capable of more restrained and non-violent responses to personal antagonism.

Medical Records: Fit and healthy. No physical ailments known. Pre-natal gene therapy undertaken by parents to produce desirable aesthetic qualities. Small amount of cybernetic augmentations in addition to standard capsuleer suite, including muscle actuators, haemostasis accelerators and ocular enhancements. Minimal bioelectric consumption. Other augmentations remain undisclosed.
 
Commander Inhonores has refused diagnosis of depression and/or other psychological disorders on multiple occasions. However, he has voluntarily submitted himself for joint Federation/CONCORD monitoring of his capsuleer implants, due to an assumed neurological connection with Slave Heavenbound02, and a corresponding threat of mindlock.

[1] The Caldari Prime International Citizenship Agreement YC17 stipulates that the parents and/or legal guardians of any individual born on Caldari Prime with at least some ethnic Caldari descent may choose for their child to be registered as a citizen/expatriate of the Caldari State, instead of the Gallente Federation. This may be overturned at age eighteen if citizenship is held with the Federation, or age twelve if it is held with the Caldari State.
 
[2] Executive Order 14751 was invoked by the Federation President for the case of Siyu Shan Inhonores versus the city of Hueromont, as well as for various other cases. Though constitutionally questionable, the order instructed local court officers to drop legal proceedings against the accused, in order for them to be processed for immediate military service as a form of restorative justice.
 
[3] Pvt Siyu Shan Inhonores had not completed secondary education prior to his enlistment in the Marines. Training officers within the GFMC decided to commit time before the combat eligibility age for Inhonores to acquire basic adult education qualifications.
 
[4] A case for an appeal would have been very strong. However, no such appeal was undertaken.
 
[5] Ensign Siyu Shan Inhonores was believed to be caught up in the State invasion when visiting family on Caldari Prime.
 
[6] Both subjects theorized to maintain existence as the Slave Heavenbound02 lifeform.
 
[7] Notable tours including a brief stint on Jovainnon VI and serving as an supervising adult on a secondary school's space yacht.

Updated. So, so, so updated.

PLEASE add your thoughts :D

The idea was something dry and bureaucratic(-ish), without giving some humanity to it. Even if you might think this has quite a lot of details, if one RPs with Seri, then one might know that this perspective is very different.

Hey, he's even got a proper haircut and collared shirt now!  :lol:

The only thing I might add is that if you want to get in more detail, most decorations usually come with a citation detailing the reasons behind their awarding.

I've always been a bit 50/50 about military decorations in RP though because I never want to see my character as an African Dictator who tilts to one side with the weight of all their self-appointed decorations.

Seriphyn having been just another Federal grunt is a nice touch, I find capsuleers that come from semi-mundane backgrounds interesting to interact with. (I've always had this idea for an over the hill and overweight Hyasyoda ex-cop turned capsuleer vaguely appealing. Caldari anti-hero ftw.)

Yeah, heh, stoic-faced and properly shaven unlike his in-game portrait.

I might do that. WRT to amount medals, you are correct and I was conscious of this too. However, the family portrait has him with 6 ribbons, so I had to come up with some reasons. There's also some convenient plot license with these; the British military do not give decorations easily (I know a navy lieutenant of 10 years with just two decorations), while in contrast, the US will give you a ribbon for passing basic training. I figured the vain Gallente would be more like the US, giving out medals and awards much easily than more harsher cultures like the Caldari. In addition, Seriphyn was in the military during a time of personnel shortage, so they probably wanted to give out shinies as some sort of retention factor (that's rather an acute connection, but someone might make it).

The badges are basically like Boy Scout badges, heh. Again, same reasoning. Look good in uniform etc. Only 6-7 decorations after 14 years is probably seen as below average, or just average to the Gallente military.

Thanks. This has always been the case, and going from grunt-to-egger is actually the result of nepotism (as one can observe in the above), not anything to do with merit or skill. Heh, even getting an "A-Grade" capsule pilot badge wasn't hard, because I assumed that B-Grade and G-Grade wouldn't even exist (how can you have a G-Grade capsuleer? You're all awesome! etc). If he wasn't a capsuleer, he'd be some marginal jarhead with a forced marriage due to having a kid, living in some inner city off of government money. Anette would get sucked into youth delinquency, and so forth.
