Oblong face that is easy to show, giving the impression of old-fashioned and elegant yet arrogant. Balding long shaggy and curly hair makes him look as wearing a skullet.

Particularly unskilled at dancing, cooking and is terrified of singing in public unless drunk or in a completely happy or particularly shaken mood.

Family

Parents:

Good, loyal citizens, physicists with honest convictions for good and helping the populace. They often served him as a moral compass towards doing what's right. They are people who never felt comfortable with the Galactic Concordance despite being pacifists. Scientists, moralists, with a knack for helping others, lovers of old and classic music with an interest in history , sociology, science and astronomy.

Mother: A brilliant physicist and a good, dedicated, proactive, strict, intuitive, and determined woman with a special ability for management and teaching. Zulay has a gift for quickly interpreting a situation, eloquently explaining things and bringing clarity to any situation. Can be overprotective and might come to conclusions too quickly and would hardly retract from them but her intentions are always noble. Her dedication to the people is admirable as well as her methodic way to set up heuristics for problem solving, management and administration. Her stewardship and innovative attitudes makes her a natural fixer as well. Her wiseness in dealing with social situations and people in general is unparalleled. Her lack of selfish economic or political ambitions and noble intentions prevented her from going far insofar as wealth or power but she became a respected figure on the Imperial health system. Alejandro inherited most of those traits as well as the ability for calculus and formal scientific reasoning with practical applications. Her primary concern is her family and despite being absolutely passionate about her job, she will do anything for her husband and sons. Her work ethics and passion for fixing, problem-solving and doing what is right is something Alejandro inherited as well as it can be quite contagious. Her mother is one of Alejandro’s moral and spiritual inspirations on later life.

Father: Protective, idealist, with profound political and moral convictions, convinced that science and technology can improve lives, a fan of some sports teams, he is a well respected physics professor on Venzeiia II Prime focused on improving physics teaching methods and defending the rights of the students He has spent most of his life teaching at the Central University of Venzeiia II Prime. A man of scientific theories and profound studies, he has an interest in history, sociology and astronomy and is also someone quite noble and honest. Despite fighting against Separatist forces he vehemently rejects violence and is deeply concerned about the welfare of his sons. Leonardo can be too naive at times and his two sons will try to protect him as well from situations. He has a capacity to analyze phenomena, describe it and ground ideas to materialize and shape formulas and documents. Alejandro also inherited those traits as well as his naiveness and romantic views. Life would later make Alejandro pay the price for the lack of malice. Experience would teach him. His father’s kindness and patriotism became also core values for Alejandro as well.

Most of the time, Alejandro and his sister would be avoiding giving their parents bad news or making them concerned about their status and this has become more of a restraint for Araujo i.e. avoiding risks of any nature that might have lasting consequences on him and could worry his parents. One of the reasons why he dealt with so many situations on his own, without advice from his parents until way after he managed to deal with whatever affairs he came across.

Sister: Zulay Alejandra is a very distant and secretive young woman. For reasons still unclear, she refuses to share with her older brother but she is more confident with her mother and a lot more confident with her father. She can be at the same time very fragile and dangerous insofar as emotional and psychological aspects. She has spent time studying psychology and some spiritual topics such as occultism. It is unclear whether she has the ability to summon spirits or if she can exert other special abilities.

Social Information Allies: Imperial Protectorate, Empire of the Seven Suns

Enemies: Corrupt elements on the main Galactic Empire, New Republic, pirate gangs and anyone not following imperial law. Significant events of your youth Reliable sources confirm he spent much of his childhood on Venzeiia II Prime. His family, split between there and Coruscant, was a wealthy one, full of tenderness and good values. He enjoyed a very happy childhood. Not a perfect one but a childhood with more good moments than not.

When he was 10 years old, he was introduced into martial arts and found himself pretty comfortable in training and combat. Despite his promising prospects, he left the school a year later.

During his teens, he was painstakingly trained, indoctrinated and motivated by his parents in science, ethics, Imperial New Order ideology and history. Araujo graduated from one of the Imperial Academies on Venezia II Prime. His first serious romantic interest was later found to be a rebel supporter. The first of many scars he’d carry on his heart.

Also in these years, his mother introduced him to holo-flight simulations of imperial starfighters. His fanaticism towards the Empire grew exponentially and he wanted to be a pilot and an engineer developing new weapons for the Imperial military. His father introduced him to a group of students that conformed a group of political support for the Empire. It was in this group and with his parents' support where his principles consolidated around the ideals of the New Order for life.

This would prove critical when he had to deal with a secret group of young rebel sympathizers in his very school that attempted an aggression against him and his friends where he’d display his command abilities.

He then had his first truly romantic relationship with Laila being not the first, but one of the most significant ones in his life.

Significant events of your adulthood

The loss of Laila represented a blow for Araujo as she was not only an inspiration, she actually reciprocated the feelings. Unfortunately, arranged marriages and society got in their way.

Once he signed up at university, he was determined to be of use to the Empire, inspiring him to study to a great extent most subjects he was assigned. His parents were instrumental in his training in calculus and physics until he became proficient on his own in most critical subjects comprehending the deepness of the theoretical concepts while being able to bring them into practical resolution of problems. Took him extra time to approach subjects this way but it would prove worthy in later stages of his life. He took fewer classes in order to save enough spare time for a social life and parallel activities as well, namely sports, combat flight simulators, music gigs and romantic interests.

During this time, he also made a lot of new friends, resumed his martial arts training reaching peak conditions for a human, learning unarmed and melee combat styles which he’d put to good use in street fights.

His training at the Imperial Naval College turned him from an innocent kid with dreams into a fully trained and indoctrinated Imperial officer. He participated in a number of operations under many different commands on infantry as well as a fighter and transport pilot and eventually , transport captain. He became proficient in starfighter combat during this period. Such training and a lot of luck would have probably been the reasons he survived a number of dogfights during his early career.

Endor represented a wound on his pride and motivation as he saw the late Emperor as a father figure as his ultimate goal has been to serve the Empire above everything else. He went back into military service and met Grand Moff Randd.who recommended him for service into the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet where he was assigned to Iota Squadron aboard the ISDII: Colossus for a while before being on the list of officers expelled by Astatine on his failed coup d’etat. He didn’t return to the EH, choosing isolation instead.

During this entire period, as he progressed on his engineering studies at university, he had had his fair share of romantic affairs and met depression for the first time as he went from being completely naive into a womanizer , maturing into a man seeking a formal relationship. The time wouldn’t come yet though as he would be dealing with more devastating blows in this regard, each one more serious than the previous.

Completing university was a satisfactory moment where he brought his first formal relationship, Emi Lise, to his family and got a promising job on holonet maintenance and minimal participation in the military as an advisor.

Everything seemed to be improving until the high-stress nature of his job took a toll on his health as he started balding. The economic crisis saw the departure of his finance partner Emi as well as most of his school and university friends and he entered into an emotional shock that led him into meeting his would-be girlfriend Alejandra and his allegedly future best friend Lady. Lady was married so she rejected him at first but sought to remain friends with him. Alejandro then started a relationship with Alejandra that would last for years as he helped her grow her kid, Alexandre. This would teach him what it mean to be a father. Araujo desperately tried to save some of his social life that was vanishing in front of his eyes as he tried to find ways to remain in service to the Empire.

During this time , depression intensified and he reached a point where he felt disillusionment due to clumsiness and corruption in official organizations and entities. It was nearly impossible to work effectively on any endeavor. He was recruited by Imperial Intelligence, seeking ways to uncover the internal corruption in Imperial state organizations. Pressure from above led him to leave his position in holonet maintenance where he also doubled as a self-defense instructor for the rest of the workers. Seeking what to do with his knowledge accumulated in years of service and looking to serve the Empire once more, he underwent a process where he first rejoined EH active service this time on Alpha Squadron where he’d soon lead the unit and would retain the position of Squadron Commander since then and he also found a cause to work for with the energy crisis affecting most regions of Venzeiia II Prime where he proposed the research and development of cheap power cores for the general population. This is when he met Ingrid.

On the military aspect of his life, the original COM of the Hammer, M. Prower was also replaced with Woody, who somehow had a friendly rivalry with Araujo towards simulation activity. He worked hard on RtF that year and convinced command that Alpha’s true objective lies with the Special Operations but sadly his plans to introduce new fighters were thwarted by a rejection from command.

Later on, Ingrid would betray him for a position on the burgeoning New Republic. This would only be the first time he goes through such deception. He planned to end his relationship with Alejandra but kept the double affair as a precaution and his instinct served him well. He rolled back to Alejandra and sheltered there although not without a price. The depressive nature of Alejandra’s character also affected him as well, dragging the entire squadron in the process. Phoenix took over the Hammer and was a very supporting CO for Araujo during that period. Araujo knew he had to find a better companion but sadly Alejandra found out about his plans and left him. This along other circumstances, led Araujo to date his best friend, Lady who was by now working as both a school teacher and a non-commissioned officer assisting in administrative tasks on the Protectorate. She was a highly intelligent woman and Araujo fully trusted her as a friend as they sorted multiple issues together as a team. Over the years, he not only accepted her request for friendship but he also held her in high regard and the duo formed a special bond. It's almost like they're brothers. And they're not exactly the same, but they really do complement each other. They knew each other quite well or so he thought.

After improvements on his mental health status, he underwent additional military preparation and started working again with Randd on the Imperial Protectorate. He kept his active commission in Alpha Squadron and assisted the Protectorate as an advisor as Randd wanted to have a liaison between the Protectorate and the Hammer as he did with the Empire of the Seven Suns. Everything seemed to be working until it was found Lady was a double agent working for the New Republic. This devastated Araujo. During this time, Genie took command of the Hammer and Araujo received help from his friend Raidiry with which he developed a rebound relationship during that mourning period and kept the affair with benefits since then as he swore he wouldn’t let his personal crisis get in the way of his already ascending activity and the resurrection of his unit. Sadly, Lady’s loss was too much of a crippling blow to him as he made a failed attempt against his own life. He really had a deep regard and a profound love for Lady.This was a defining moment in Araujo’s life as he didn’t want companions to dictate his happiness anymore. Darkness consumed him and his lust for revenge lighted back up his unparalleled dedication to the Empire. Ironically, by letting part of him die, he was reborn as a warrior.

The deception of two of his remaining civilian friends, Miguel and Alexander threw him into isolation on his social life until Yennifer, a friend with whom he had a complicated relationship, led him into taking music classes as a hobby. He lost all contact with Lady and figured he had to see the galaxy burn for he’d help build a brave new world over its ashes. Lady was his last reason to believe he could save the Galaxy and restore the Empire. Now, he understands why Operation: Cinder took place. By this time he met Suni Lo, who in other times would be the subject of an infatuation on his part as she was not only slim and attractive, but also had a mysterious aura as she was not an average girl insofar as personality. At this point, however, he just approached her in an attempt to fill the void left by Lady. With time though, Suni created a value of her own in his heart as well as Raidiry. Slowly but surely, he recovered from his wounds, keeping the scars as his interest would shift back into the Empire while his participation grew stronger. Having two romantic affairs allowed him not to grant too much importance to either of them thus shifting the value of the relationships towards him.Something he needed to heal and rebuild. He went back to attending music gigs and contacted his old friend from university, Glenda, who worked on the ESS on ship design and had a high position there as Rear Admiral in charge of R&D.

The arrival of new pilots also motivated him exponentially as they outperformed him and he, by principle, wouldn’t allow himself to underperform compared to someone under his command. He had to lead by example. This also led him to notice most pilots preferred the newer simulations instead of real practice without loadouts. He started a personal crusade to promote the old, stricter and spartan-like training Imperial pilots had.

Now he leads a rising Alpha and has aspirations of turning his squadron into the best unit of the fleet. The Empire is first, everything else is secondary.

General alignment and attitude

General alignment From a young age, Araujo committed his efforts acquiring as much knowledge and skills as possible in multiple areas he considered would be useful in service of the Empire. A man of science, engineering but also of arts and martial artist and soldier. He sought a spartan and stoic way of life in most aspects. His idealistic bubble bursted when he found the widespread corruption that plagued the Old Republic exponentially expanded in the Imperial era. Despite his prior disappointment with the Empire due to corruption, clumsiness, inefficiency, bungling and treachery, he continued to serve under multiple Imperial factions such as IS_N and TFA and collaborated closely with the ESS. He still dutifully serves under the Emperor’s Hammer TIE Corps.

Araujo has a strict work ethics and moral code and firmly believes law and order are necessary for progress and further believes people deserve accountability from the government and corporations at large. Well-rounded and centered in work, living in a perpetual tug-of-war against society. He is a straightforward operator, focusing on the job at hand.

Attitude: He is absolutely sincere in his New Order ideals, and appears devoid of personal political ambition. He has a deep-seated loathing for corruption, treachery and politicking His idealistic ambitions of seeing the Empire restored, the social rejection of his intentions of promoting science and knowledge, the multiple denials for his plans to create and provide scientific advance, applying his engineering skills to further social development and his frustration at his thwarted dreams of having a family finally had a toll on his emotional and psychological health. Having become cynical and stoic, he can be a good communicator if absolutely needed and someone to take actions when nobody else does.

Motivation:

Intractable in his motivation, the strategic and spec ops training proved effective as he developed a previously unsuspected aptitude for commando operations, logistics and planning as he ceased to actively seek a public life. The TC are his family. Some consider Alejandro to be an obnoxious and obsessive-compulsive, naive, resentful pessimistic underperformer while some others may consider him a leader, a brilliant man of great principle, honor, and courage. He describes himself as an average loyal Imperial that has been a victim of circumstances and a scientist. He is for sure a complicated man, disciplined, direct, and well read, with a dry, cynical and dark sense of humor. His interest lies in the restoration of former Imperial rule, replacing what he considers a decaying society with a New Order. Then, he could dedicate to science, technology, martial arts and to raise a family.

Previous occupations On this reincarnation, he served in the Imperial Starfleet as a fighter pilot, transport pilot and captain, commando operative, engineering and tactical advisor. He also worked on the holonet service in operations & maintenance. On the Emperor’s Hammer he first served as a pilot in Iota which he eventually was assigned to lead until the Astatine incident.

Hobbies

Piloting, exercising and training, running strategy simulations, building/fixing projects and reading are his main hobbies. He was a known womanizer who in secret hoped statistics would help him meet his ideal wife. Photography and art , in particular music, are counted among his hobbies as well. He has a fascination with ship design and energy conversion/engine design and engineering/science topics in general as well.

Tragedies in your life

The losses of Laila, Emi and Lady devastated his heart.

The disillusionment with the imperial officials’ corruption and inefficiency took a toll on his morale.

Crippling depression and extreme stress also had consequences on his overall mental and physical health.

The loss of Lady was the turning point that would draw him back into a life of full dedication to the Empire. This time however, not from an optimistic point of building back better but to take revenge on the decaying society that promoted the loss of ethical values which he blames for Lady’s betrayal. Her loss became his biggest mental trauma to the point of feeling physical pain on his chest during the mourning process and attempting suicide. He truly mourns their separation as the loss of someone he considered family. He never fully trusted women or anybody else after that.

Phobias and allergies Dislikes watching corpses but has no known phobia or allergy.

Your view of the Empire and Emperor's Hammer On each reincarnation he came to the same conclusions and sought to further law and order and on his current reincarnation, he saw this order finally coming with the Galactic Empire.

Even after the Endor disaster, he still supports the Imperial cause and sees the EH as one as the last bulwarks of the New Order and is dedicated to his unit and the ship he serves and the whole fleet at large.

The Emperor’s Hammer is his home now and he looks to the TIE Corps as his family, all the while remaining a loner.

Your reason for enlisting in the Emperor's Hammer At first, the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet was one of the most active and successful commands and he wanted to be part of it with an honest conviction of working hard to restore the lost glory of the Old Empire.

He later realized his interests converged with those of the EH. Being afraid of not being efficient enough for the supposed high standards of the ESS and not wanting to do anything else with the Protectorate after the latest incidents, he fully switched his allegiance to the TIE Corps.

He now wants to take revenge on the galaxy at large for all his suffering.

Other comments

Personality and Traits

Araujo is a solitary, sarcastic, jovial yet obscure and unassuming individual on the surface but should the need arise, he could be a proficient communicator and motivator.

Highly intelligent, resourceful, cynical, resentful but goal-oriented to an obsessive-compulsive point, his personal commitment can be considered outstanding by some and obnoxious by others. Someone who feel best about his stuff when he uses it to its fullest capacity and sees design and repair as a way to reach this point. Feeling morally superior to those he considered to be corrupt politicking lickspitting imperials, bureaucrats in general, corporation employees, salesmen, religious zealots,, uneducated/clumsy people in general and New Republic supporters in particular, his hatred of the New Republic became very personal with the recent events.

His internal emotional rollercoasters contrasting with his cold logical reasoning, led him into following radical perfectionist tendencies and a chronic aversion to authority of any kind except for those that earned his respect for which he developed unwavering loyalty thus considering treason the biggest of offenses. He avoids unnecessary conflicts and awkward situations but fiercely fights to the end when there’s a solid reason to do it.

Believed to be force sensitive by his close friend Talons Pryde,, he repeatedly rejected exploring this path until very recent events saw him consumed by hatred and darkness. He now has a thirst for retaliation and revenge against all those who broke his moral code. His shattered feelings are the dying light of his former self, losing a battle against the enormous anger at being betrayed so badly by his beloved ex-friends, especially the double-agent known as Lady Jhoseline Delgado. 

He has a lighter side, believing in purity of life. He is also very friendly to lower animal species and is known to have owned a number of pets. He has a deep wish to find true love and have kids.

As a perfectionist and a stubborn person, he is very demanding to himself and once he accomplishes his proposed goals, he can be very demanding of those under his command as he admits no errors and can be quite methodical on whatever he does. He has a moral principle of never ordering his men to do what he can’t personally do. This has been a double-edged sword for his unit as he avoided any optional activity during his depression times, almost completely halting the squadron’s operation or he can motivate his men into going beyond their limits towards achieving a goal. He can be very hesitant in

He dislikes sudden changes in life and can reconsider a situation and plan around it several times before finally acting but when he acts, he does so with swift resolution. He can develop a quick thinking in operative terms as long as it doesn’t alter his strategic schemes though. This often represents a hindrance on his endeavors,

He has tried to find a significant one that challenges him intellectually, a companion to be able to talk with about any topic and provides and stimulates strong feelings in him. Originally a naive romantic, life has darkened his heart on this and other regards. A ladies’ man, this has brought him trouble more often than not. In the end, despite his hedonistic youth, he believes in true love and seeks to have a wife and kids, a family, a home of his own. He can be very protective of those he loves, he is willing to defend them with his own life if needed be.

Despite his scruffy-looking appearance that scares away superficial people when he is not in military service, those who get to know him can describe Araujo as someone with a need to clearly explain his ideas to others , thus becoming an imposing yet sincere being and a reliable person.

He used to be a pacifist in the end as he tries his best to avoid conflict , in particular when there is no justification and can be very patient and diplomatic. This has brought him trouble managing people as he had a hard time establishing limits sometimes. Despite this, he still prefers to act methodically, with a strategy and will try to know the weakness of others just in case.

If there is a good reason for a conflict however, he will confront his opponents without hesitation, using logic and skills. His darker side has a thirst for vengeance but is balanced by his own ethics, diplomatic tendencies and a very strong sense of justice and deep instincts for what he considers correct. He is very responsible.

He can be a trustworthy friend but he isn't truly open to anybody just like that. Can keep a distance when needed.

His empathy and instincts allows him to read other people from an emotional , psychological and spiritual perspective. He can be a tender person to an extent on certain occasions but he can also be very cold and logical.

He understands there are intangible elements that cannot be fully explained with science (yet) and in the past he tried to use his alleged skills in a reasonable way but he completely abandoned these ideas, rejecting the possibility of being a reincarnation. He has a complex relation with the Force as he doesn’t wish to follow either path or tap this mysterious force at all yet he feels compelled at times to do so. He prefers to operate as a practical problem-solver using physical and mental skills, relegating most of the spiritual aspects to a minimum. He allows contained anger and rage to be felt in order to enhance his performance. He tries hard not to be an optimist.

Despite his positive traits, he has a tendency to undervalue himself with a low self-esteem insofar as personal relations.

Biography

Origins: Origins:

Immortality has a price...

One of the Perpetuals, a group of eternal beings of unknown origin (though it is rumored they were created by an ancient, powerful race, perhaps the Celestials, as some of their powers were artificially induced), his soul and consciousness reincarnated many times across history, his rare presence in the force growing so that its energy, while hidden from force users, still altered his genome and physiology with time, living longer and longer each reincarnation, he'll eventually be rendered effectively immortal due to extremely rapid and efficient cellular regeneration.

Wandering the Galaxy on each reincarnation, traveled among the different peoples of many races. At first an observer of triumphs and follies, soon begun to help where he could, unconsciously and partly using the wisdom, experience and knowledge he acquired on each of his past lives, partly using the skills he was granted. On each reincarnation, he dedicated to help spread efficient government, crop management, animal husbandry, technology and peace. He used his influence carefully, at first adopting only the guise of a normal man, and when his lifespan became longer, he acted without revealing his true nature, sometimes adopting the persona of a great leader or advisor. In times of trouble he became a crusader, a religious leader or even a local messiah, at other times He remained a back-stage contributor to events, an advisor to kings, a court magician, a pioneering scientist.

Many of the guises or lives he adopted were humble, others became monumental figures of local or regional history or religion. At times of crisis he would be there, steering mainly the human race along a narrow path to survival that only he could see.

Despite his best efforts to promote peace and harmony across Coruscant first, and then the Galaxy at large, the instinctive values of martial honor, ambition, defiance, and self-satisfaction could never be eradicated from living beings and specially, from humanoid character. Fearful of being discovered, he didn't hesitate to make difficult, even immoral decisions to ensure his survival until he could fulfill his self-imposed quest to save living beings. Sometimes this meant going into self exile and once this happened, he was quickly forsaken.

Some of his plans proved less than successful; seeds of wisdom often failed to flourish or grew into uncontrollable monstrosities leading to eras of persecution and war. He realized humanity needed law, order and the guidance of a ruler to reach its full potential. He hoped for the sith , the Jedi, even the Mandalorians to bring this order. Each life he came to the same conclusions and sought law and order and on his current reincarnation, he saw this order finally coming with the Galactic Empire.

Current life: This reincarnation saw him coming to life in 22 ABY on Coruscant. The only indication that there was something special about him is is the fact that all clocks stopped at the family house the exact moment he was born. Despite being naturally gifted with intelligence, health and very reasonable stamina and strength,, his parents granted him special therapy to enhance his abilities. His determination remained the same during most of his life.

 An Honors undergraduate of engineering and masters degree in military science from prestigious academies, lifelong martial artist and pilot, amateur musician,  an aficionado student of psychology, sociology, history and art but above all, a staunch defender of the Imperial New Order, Alejandro Araujo attained the rank of Lt Col at age 40 while commanding the 7th SpecOps “Alpha” Squadron aboard the ISDII: Hammer.

His training at the Imperial Naval College turned him from an innocent kid with dreams into a fully trained and indoctrinated Imperial officer by dealing with tough and ruthless training, knowing by first hand the hardships of combat and learning what it means to feel afraid of death.

He then learned how to fight better when he didn’t allow his fears control over him anymore.

He participated in a number of operations under many different commands on infantry as well as a fighter and transport pilot and eventually , transport captain.

Everything seemed to be improving until the high-stress nature of his job took a toll on his health as he started balding.

Luis/Carmen : meet fear Study as a defense subero/castro

The economic crisis saw the departure of his finance partner Emi as well as most of his school and university friends and he entered into an emotional shock that led him into meeting his would-be girlfriend Alejandra and his allegedly future best friend Lady.

Lady was married so she rejected him at first but sought to remain friends with him. Alejandro then started a relationship with Alejandra that would last for years as he helped her raise her kid, Alexandre. This would teach him what it means to be a father. Araujo desperately tried to save some of his social life that was vanishing in front of his eyes as he tried to find ways to remain in service to the Empire.

During this time , depression intensified and he reached a point where he felt disillusionment due to clumsiness and corruption in official organizations and entities. It was nearly impossible to work effectively on any endeavor. He was recruited by Imperial Intelligence, seeking ways to uncover the internal corruption in Imperial state organizations. Pressure from above led him to leave his position in holonet maintenance where he also doubled as a self-defense instructor for the rest of the workers.

Seeking what to do with his knowledge accumulated in years of service and looking to serve the Empire once more, he underwent a process where he first rejoined EH active service this time on Alpha Squadron where he’d soon lead the unit and would retain the position of Squadron Commander since then and he also found a cause to work for with the energy crisis affecting most regions of Venzeiia II Prime where he proposed the research and development of cheap power cores for the general population. This is when he met Ingrid.

On the military aspect of his life,

dropped out of sight, Back to EH as it had a more agressive stance towards the new rep which neither the rump empire nor IS_N had.

the original COM of the Hammer, M. Prower was also replaced with Woody, who somehow had a friendly rivalry with Araujo towards simulation activity.

He worked hard on RtF that year and convinced command that Alpha’s true objective lies with the Special Operations but sadly his plans to introduce new fighters were thwarted by a rejection from command. 

further advancement opportunities shattered when promotion requisites demanded the creation of competitions for which he saw no use at first

Later on, Ingrid would betray him for a position on the burgeoning New Republic. This would only be the first time he goes through such deception. He planned to end his relationship with Alejandra but kept the double affair as a precaution and his instinct served him well. He rolled back to Alejandra and sheltered there although not without a price. The depressive nature of Alejandra’s character also affected him as well, dragging the entire squadron in the process.

Phoenix took over the Hammer and was a very supporting CO for Araujo during that period. Araujo knew he had to find a better companion but sadly Alejandra found out about his plans and left him.

This along other circumstances (Lady staying with him after Josue and Ervins treachery, Lady insisting on talking about intimate relationships, loneliness), led Araujo to date his best friend, Lady who was by now working as both a school teacher and a non-commissioned officer assisting in administrative tasks on the Protectorate. She was a highly intelligent woman and Araujo fully trusted her as a friend as they sorted multiple issues together as a team. Over the years, he not only accepted her request for friendship but he also held her in high regard and the duo formed a special bond. It's almost like they're brothers. And they're not exactly the same, but they really do complement each other. They knew each other quite well or so he thought.

After improvements on his mental health status, he underwent additional military preparation and started working again with Randd on the Imperial Protectorate.

He kept his active commission in Alpha Squadron and assisted the Protectorate as an advisor as Randd wanted to have a liaison between the Protectorate and the Hammer as he did with the Empire of the Seven Suns.

Attempts to save Lady and make contact with her, poems, just to see her apologizing her relatives and expressing her hatred for me . blocked her afterwards

it was found Lady was a double agent working for the New Republic. This devastated Araujo. During this time, Genie took command of the Hammer and Araujo received help from his friend Raidiry with which he developed a rebound relationship during that mourning period and kept the affair with benefits since then as he swore he wouldn’t let his personal crisis get in the way of his already ascending activity and the resurrection of his unit.  Sadly, Lady’s loss was too much of a crippling blow to him as he made a failed attempt against his own life. He really had a deep regard and a profound love for Lady.This was a defining moment in Araujo’s life as he didn’t want companions to dictate his happiness anymore. Darkness consumed him and his lust for revenge lighted back up his unparalleled dedication to the Empire. Ironically, by letting part of him die, he was reborn as a warrior. 

The deception of two of his remaining civilian friends, Miguel and Alexander threw him into isolation on his social life until Yennifer, a friend with whom he had a complicated relationship, led him into taking music classes as a hobby.

He lost all contact with Lady by now as he blocked hr and didnt wantto know anything from her and figured he had to see the galaxy burn for he’d help build a brave new world over its ashes. Lady was his last reason to believe he could save the Galaxy and restore the Empire. Now, he understands why Operation: Cinder took place.

Johanna

By this time he met Suni Lo, who in other times would be the subject of an infatuation on his part as she was not only slim and attractive, but also had a mysterious aura as she was not an average girl insofar as personality. At this point, however, he just approached her in an attempt to fill the void left by Lady. With time though, Suni created a value of her own in his heart as well as Raidiry. Slowly but surely, he recovered from his wounds, keeping the scars as his interest would shift back into the Empire while his participation grew stronger. Having two romantic affairs allowed him not to grant too much importance to either of them thus shifting the value of the relationships towards him.Something he needed to heal and rebuild. He went back to attending music gigs and contacted his old friend from university, Glenda, who worked on the ESS on ship design and had a high position there as Rear Admiral in charge of R&D.

The arrival of new pilots (Seerlan) also motivated him

Tusorix, Jerikko motivated him exponentially as they now outperformed him and he, by principle, wouldn’t allow himself to underperform compared to someone under his command. He had to lead by example. This also led him to notice most pilots preferred the newer simulations instead of real practice without loadouts. He started a personal crusade to promote the old, stricter and spartan-like training Imperial pilots had.

Character’s greatest flaw/weakness: cant adapt quickly to big changes in life, sometimes tends to draw conclusions too quickly and sometimes emotions gets the best out of him. His distance and cynicism and lack of regard for personal appearance often gets him in trouble Biggest accomplishment:

A bit about RL Profile

Since I don't mind talking a bit about me, I'll add some information for context. By the time of writing this, I'm a 40 years old mechanical engineer, martial artist, amateur musician and sci-fi nerd hailing from Caracas, Venezuela (UTC: -4). I worked on the state-owned local city Metro (specializing on Non-Destructive testing with Ultrasonic probes of the rail system) and the equally state-owned national-wide phone company where I worked on energy/HVAC systems. This led me to work in projects, monitoring & control and operations & management, developing a taste for goal-oriented management of maintenance systems.

Since 2018 I worked as freelance consultor on energy/HVAC applications for DataCenters and Cryptocurrency digital mining operations.

Despite having multiple experiences over the years, I'm still looking towards having my own family. This has brought some good and some very bad moments in life but I got over it with time. I carry the memories with me.

Currently I decided to live with my parents (a common trend on Latin American countries) and focus on my side projects: music, martial arts - being kung fu the main martial art I've been training since '92 and after a years-long pause, resumed it since 2001. I train with empty hand and melee weapons such as single and double daos, short and long sticks and others.

I have engineering projects I'd like to work in (once my life has been sorted) in areas such as energy conversion, supply chain and transport. I aim to work as an independent researcher , hoping to locally produce technology that helps humanity.

I joined EH on '06 roughly on Iota Squadron , ISDII: Colossus, serving as CMDR for a while. A 10 year hiatus followed since '08 to 2018, when I returned to active service on Alpha becoming its CMDR since then.

Since I was a kid, I remember mom wanted me to be a fan of SW and bought me one day a SW flight sim...she wanted me to be a fan of the rebels. But she bought me TIE. It was instant love. I became a fan of the game and the series, with me experimenting the thrill of the challenges XvT offered and becoming part of a local club where I learned to do MP to an extent. Then I joined the fun on XWA and the MSN Gaming Zone back in '99 and participated in events such as BSC's WoW (and I managed to win at least one WoW, which granted me a DFC as Ii wn it flying for the EH).

I'm a bit cynical and prone to depression but I can be motivated and goal-oriented with a passion if I see a purpose to it. I believe in training, discipline, skill and morals and I do use science as a tool as well.

My PC was built in 2017 and bought the best hardware I could. I can proudly say despite its age, it can run games like SWS, BF2 or the new Jedi games. I managed to get Win11 working here and customized it. I have one OS for games and another one for work.

I love SW, ST, B5, BSG and Sci-fi in general. The XW series, SWR, FC, EaW, GBG and DF are my favorites on SW. BC, STA are my favorite ST games. IFH is a B5 game I love with Crusader series, Total War, IL2 Sturmovik. F1 Racing and Doom being my other non SW favorites.

Recently, I rediscovered my interest, motivation and love for the EH and I intend to keep the flame of the classics burning so I will do my best to incentivize all aspects of the classics (SP, PvE, PvP, mods) on the club, also learning how to best lead the squadron and make additional contributions such as possible IU courses and submitting missions on the compendium.
