Remnants of the Earth

Despite being a halfway cross, Saendyr looks much more like an Altani than he does a human. To begin with, he sports hairless, smooth dark blue skin thicker and tougher than normal. Instead of hair, he sports five rows of short, porous crests that follow the shape of his skull until it meets the neck and he has pronounced, bony ridges over his eyes and on his jaw. His eyes are human looking but rather than black he sports yellow pupils surrounded by dark brown eyes.

Like his skin, his physiology is equally dense. Not that he bulges with muscles like a bodybuilder, but he has smooth, defined limbs and a brawny, wide frame that supports a build that is sturdier than it is strong.

He used to have more bony protrusions on his arms, legs, and hands but he had them shaved down to plates so he could fit in conventional armor.

His most distinctive anatomical feature is his legs. While he has a human waist and upper thigh, at about the center of his thigh human legs give way to rough, shinier skin with circular impressions and digitigrade legs that end in a trio of claws that he walks on, able to pivot them like toes and even stand up on the tips to navigate rougher terrain.
 

Saendyr does not play any games when it comes to his paycheck. He can tolerate a moderate amount of BS (in his line of work, it's a mandatory skill) but he has no patience for two-timers or rats, or anybody else who would waste his time, really. In the grand cosmic scale of things, Saendyr is someone who's sticking it out for themselves rather than for the good of society, or the galaxy, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is evil.

He does what he does because it's what he knows, what he's good at. The more in-bed he gets with TRIM, the safer he is from them discovering that he's got properties and abilities that they'd prefer to study rather than give a paycheck to. Does that make him a hypocrite? Maybe a little. But he doesn't give a damn if people think he's a hypocrite because he doesn't do it for them. It keeps him alive and comfortable, and means he can keep sending money to his parents. So maybe the emotional distress is just a small price to pay...

Sendyr is no stranger to combat. He has seen a couple tours of duty under the Edanian military, fighting against Aedolis military in the contested planets in the outer solar system. When it comes to the usage of standard rifle armaments like lasers and slug-throwers, as well as heavier man-portable weapons, Saendyr is a professional. Military training built upon by fierce combat experience has led to a fighter that takes every advantage he can get, and he's fought through enough scrapes to remain cool under life and death conditions. Add a little bit of mercenary work when he got out, and one could say that Saendyr was made for his next job.

Containing and Recovering assets for an organization as shady as TRIM means that one often experiences bizarre, experimental threats or hostile fugitives, sometimes even one of TRIM's genetic abominations. Nothing can surprise poor Saendyr anymore and he's acquired a jaded quality to his personality to go with his expanded knowledge.

There is also the issue of his racial traits. Altani are a race of synthetically evolved bipedal humanoids that long-outlived their creators, mostly because they were evolved to be extremely durable in almost any conditions, true extremophiles. Their body structure is designed to diffuse energy throughout itself and a pure-bred Altani can even function in the vacuum of space for several hours. While Saendyr is a cross breed and unfortunately cannot survive in a vacuum, he retains the durable body structure and absorption potential while being able to do other neat things an Altani can't like see in color or appreciate a hot shower. 

As any good freelance soldiers do, Saendyr has access to his own equipment, but his arsenal is bolstered by some gadgets and tools from TRIM.

His primary form of protection from those who'd do him harm is a suit of rigid-plated combat armor with a laser dampening weave and a thermal bodysuit underneath.The helmet's visor is a half-dome that resembles primitive astronaut suits but the neck is much more flexible, allowing Saendyr a wide range of view and plenty of visor space for displaying readouts from the enhanced suit sensors. The only other drastic modification is that the legs are redesigned for a digitigrade user and the boots are separated into three seperately articulated toes to allow him full movement of his Altani feet and legs. Depending on the environment, Saendyr will use additional layers of hazard protection or a back-mounted zero-g maneuvering unit.

As for weapons, Saendyr prefers non-lethal methods not just for personal reasons but also for mission requirements. It is for this reason he has chosen a solid projectile weapon over a laser.

About the size of a modern infantry machine gun, the AX-47 Maxwell sports an integrated smart-aim system (linked to helmet display) and Saendyr loads it with "smart cartridge" drum magazines that allow him to switch from tranquilizers to stick-and-shock or sandbag munitions with a flick of a finger.

Alongside flashbangs, sonic shriek emitters, and mage-fuddlers (disorientation grenades designed to interfere with a mage or psion's internal focus), Saendyr also carries two sidearms, a wrist-mounted stun-pulser tuned for motor-function impairment and a variable laser pistol that could be adjusted to fire anywhere between "less-than-lethal" and "burn a hole through your chest".

Saendyr maintains healthy work relationships at TRIM, and even has a few friends on the ARC team that he regularly hangs out with. He has very few permanent fixtures in his life save for his parents and doesn't feel right settling down with anybody as long as he's working such a hazardous job.

[[WIP, but his mother was a deep-space prospector who ran into an isolated population of Altani and fell in love with one of them. Saendry was "born" when his parents decided to visit a geneticist to create a child, since Humans and Altani cannot naturally interbreed. He was ostracized as a child and turned to the military, which led to him going down a mercenary's path and eventually led him to TRIM.]
