Calderon Lynch

.

Official Bio
"Former Commander Calderon Lynch lives by a code. Honour, duty, and courage." "Being dishonorably discharged from the ranks of Orsanna's Guard left its mark on Calderon, turning him cold and spiteful. His latest title is Captain of the Andromeda Six, a mercenary ship with a reputation as deadly as the crew who pilots her. He won't appreciate a newbie on his vessel, especially while he has a mission to fulfill." "But despite the Captain's initial hostility, there is something about you that interests him..." "Will you get to know him as Cal, the brave and loyal Commander, seeking to return to his home, or will he always be the unfriendly mercenary Captain?"

Appearance
Calderon is tall, broad, and has neatly gelled blonde hair, fair skin, and dark blue eyes. His size is often described as "intimidating".

He has a burn scar on the right side of his body that extends from just above his collar down his shoulder, and a tattoo around his right bicep that is comprised of three thin black lines circling his arm with a fourth, thicker line enrciling his arm below.

He smells of clean soap and fresh linen.

Personality
Stoic, authoritative, and initially standoffish, Cal prefers to run his ship with a tight fist and a sharp tongue. Preferring to be professional when he can, he uses the crew's full first names to their face (with the exception of June and the Traveler) and seems to be the official negotiator for the crew.

However, he has a short temper and is easy to provoke. He seeks out the quickest solutions to problems, though they don't always turn out to be the easiest.

He is good at reading people and catching small details, and when he lets himself relax he enjoys verbal banter with people he trusts.

He's built a wall a mile high around his heart, and hides sadness and a deep need for revenge behind it. He's bad at apologizing and often has to be goaded into it, but when he does it's heartfelt and genuine. Despite not being the best with feelings, he is fiercely loyal to and protective of his crew, which causes him to be wary of outsiders.
