Braxis Calistum

Early Years

Brax was your average rambunctious boy through the earlier years of his life. Raised on an agricultural colony, he often found trouble out of sheer boredom. A trait he shares with his younger half-sister who was raised on a separate colony. Always a pleasant minded go-getter type, he looked forward to his military career and was excited to be shipped off to mandatory training and then further to a more than average military career. This career ended at age 25 while working as a technical engineer aboard a ship that's engine went nuclear from a manufacturing error, losing a leg in the process. Having been in his quarters located above the engine, his unconscious body fell into the exploded open engine. Subjecting his body to high amounts of eezo exposure. After nearly a year in recovery, he was shipped home with honorable discharge. Where he would, out of sheer boredom, expand his knowledge in technology and medicine to reverse-engineer new forms of prothesis. Using himself as a primary test subject.

A Change in Course

Having had a taste of the outside world, his quiet home life with his parents made him itch to getting back into action. After working to afford everything he needed as a farm hand, he was off once again. Giving parting goodbyes with his parents, who would have rather seen him stay home. He headed to the citadel at first, reconnecting there with old squadmates and friends made at boot camp. One of which being Delta, an old friend from his low rank combat squadron that ran calvary detail for other units. A friend who, after Brax would find petty headhunting dull, would follow him when his thirst for action would take him to the terminus. Something Delta had been avoiding while being in hiding. The two became a mercenary team that would later help build the foundations for an unnamed mercenary group, which would later be named Aegis. As they (primarily Brax) collected talented individuals but were law or financially challenged.  Though try as you might, you'll never get Delta to admit to being a mercenary. And spirits know they've all tried. 

Brax's move from being a pure engineer to sentinel class comes from a birthday gift from Delta in the form of neuro-empathetic therapy. His eezo exposure had caused chronic pain in his muscles. No longer wishing to see his friend in pain he saved up his wages for it. The reduced amount of nodes in his nervous system made them more receptive to feedback commands from his brain. Having many side effects biotics face anyway, Brax went ahead and got his implant on Omega half a year after his therapy. Unlocking his potential as a biotic. 

A Trilogy of Loss

This wouldn't prevent him from losing more of himself over the years, however. His other leg was severed when he was dangled upside down by a krogan blood pack member looking to demonstrate his new toy in a show of intimidation. His leg fell hundreds of feet into the pits of Omega, and was thus unsalvageable. His arm was lost in a ship crash on the job when he boarded the ship of his mark that was then shot down by a bounty hunter.  A support beam pinned him by the shoulder to the interior hull during the crash, leaving the limb attached only by skin. 

The story of how he lost his eye keeps changing, and only him and Delta know the truth. The occasion was none too pleasant as it involved torture, kidnapping, and extortion to name a few. The loyal lieutenant had brought a squadron with him, yet only him and Brax had walked out alive. There is one constant to the ever changing tale: his eye was lost as a show of faith. As Brax will publicly refer to the incident to Delta as a reminder of his trustworthiness. 

Brax's limb loss goes in the order chronologically as: Right leg, left arm, left leg, left eye. He's also become significantly more playful the more harm that has come to him.

Oasis in the Desert

After years of a tumultuous love life, Brax has seemed to have found both stability, and bisexuality; in his long-term partner and lieutenant Delta. Having realized how much he hurt him over the years by registering genuine acts of romance as pranks. Much to his crew's delight as the new couple are a hot topic for gossip aboard the ship. The fact it was kept as a temporary secret purely to entertain themselvesbwith the crew's response, even more so. Brax had always been the pursuer in his past relationships and rarely felt wanted or permanent. Flings of burning passion before being left in the dust with many citing his career choice or personality to why it would never work. Delta, on the otherhand, has quietly devoted years of pining and is more than happy to unwind every insecurity. He bathes in Delta's affection and attention while also challenging the man's secluded and solitary lifestyle. Something that has proven beneficial to both of them. Brax also enjoys teasing his "new" partner often as allusions towards bedroom challenges. As a result, the two fuck like rabbits. Something that gave the secret away as their crew pieced things together.
