Title: Admiral Cad'Ayern
Species: Ja'Tazak
* Sand-blue humanoid raptors which sport dorsal fins and tripartite mandibles.
Homeworld: Neo Skezeek
Role: Antagonist
Gender: Male
Archetypes: Aging Naval Commander, Perfectionist
Themes: Satiation/Discontent, Knots
Is Awesome Because:
* Celebrated for successfully staging the takeover of a couple minor neighboring species' planets, and for forging an arms deal with the Skraz.
* Every bit the ruthless noble which promising individuals of his kind are brought up to be. Really does not care about the lives of enlisted pilots, most aliens, ect., and will sacrifice such readily for tangible benefit.
Equipment:
* 1x navy/black/red Admiral's uniform, customized
* 1x command sash, features prestigious decorations
* ?x digital interface eyewear, for enhanced consumption of information and also intimidation factor
* 1x rather comfortable bed, which dumps occupants who oversleep onto the floor
Resources:
* 1x spacecraft carrier, core component of a small personal fleet - usually operated in absentia by a Commodore
* 1x bunker suite on Neo Skezeek, standard issue for important government types
* 1x Captain/Commodore who would rather be an Agent, of familial relation
Goals:
* Success of the Empire, which means constant expansion; terraforming barren planets and other alternatives simply aren't as efficient as liberating existing infrastructure from inferior alien populations.
Enemies:
* The Coraxyon, who are kind of getting in the way of interstellar expansion.
* Certain Ja'Tazak military brass, eager for a rare opening in the fleet-commanding admiralty.
Weaknesses:
* Blinding pride, is thoroughly convinced of Ja'Tazak Empire's overall superiority. May burn up a resource normally disposable, or waste the element of surprise.
* Aging physically, and finds the looming spectre of mental degradation frightening like nothing else.

^- Not all Ja'Tazak are angry-looking military types!
(Just, those military types are found on a pretty high rung of the Empire's social ladder.)
Technical Notes:
* In Cartooning class this past semester, we learned to start drawing characters with an action line - which usually follows the spine, allowing for a sense of motion in the drawing, - and to design the underlying structure before the character's fancy clothes.
* In Painting class the previous semester, we learned to layer different colors instead of just swathing a single one onto a whole region. I probably talked about that before, but messing with colors continues to be really fun when it works out. I still have enough trouble getting the lineart to work out first, though.
* Whilst learning how to illustrate my characters, I also hope to learn how to make them more interesting fictional people. Hopefully I'll be able to tell when and by how much I've failed or succeeded.
