Name: Ulysses Augustine Grante
Alias(es): Uly
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Status: Pirate
Rank: Captain, Pilot, Engineer, Field Medic and Crewman of the Voidrover.
Type: Mage
Ethnicity: European Mutt
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 182 lbs
Hair: Jet black, cropped fairly short and perpetually messy as if he'd just rolled out of bed.
Eyes: Yellow-gold
Physical Description: Average height, he has some muscle-tone but is in no way cut or ripped with it. His skin is a dusky, almost metallic gray color, his one Mage feature along with his bright golden yellow eyes. Ulysses tends to dress rather singularly, his favorite outfit consisting of a nearly painfully bright floral patterned short-sleeve button up shirt left untucked, a pair of green-khaki cargo shorts, heavy socks and boots on his feet, fingerless gloves on his hands, a pair of old leather goggles pushed high on his forehead and somewhat holding his hair back and a long red knit scarf wrapped several times around his face and hanging down his back.
Talents and Skills: Because he's been largely alone for several years, Ulysses can do just about anything that needs doing on a pirate crew; he can be a boarder, he can repair a ship, he can patch his own wounds and he can fly just about anything that moves. He's a pretty good shot with his pistols but will be the first to admit that he has absolutely no skill in melee combat whatsoever.
Powers: Ulysses has the ability to control and manipulate magnetic fields. This is most notably shown in his ability to move and manipulate metal objects around him, but he can also project a cloaking field around him that jams scanning equipment in other ships. One of the main reasons why he's so successful as a lone pirate.
Character History: Richard and Tabitha Grante were at their heart pioneers and explorers, and loathed the idea of giving up their Mage son to the government when he began manifesting his powers at the age of nine. So instead of doing so, they packed him up along with all of their possessions they couldn't do without into a--at the time--state of the art, three-man shuttle and set a course for deep space.
Staying on the fringe of the system, only entering it at sporadic intervals for supplies and to refuel, the Grantes managed to stay under the UE--and everyone else's--radar for sixteen years. Ulysses never begrudged his life and after his father was killed on a botched job three years ago and his mother died shortly after, he continued on in his existence alone. His seclusion has made him more than a little quirky, which most people mistake for out-in-out space dementia when they first encounter him. He's not crazy, however. Just . . . odd.
Ulysses loves collecting odd bits from the few ships and freighters he attacks. His ship is cluttered with all sorts of knick-nacks and odds and ends, his dashboard console is covered in bobble-head dolls, dancing hula girls and a vast array of action figures. Which he plays with more than he probably should.
Equipment: Two standard pistols, no melee weapon--as Ulysses does his best to stay as far away from fists as he possibly can.
Vehicles: Voidrover - A three-man shuttle that was state of the art sixteen years ago, now a bit rundown and out-of-date. Well-cared for however, it can still get the job done.
