Entarquellian Mira-Vega

Entarquellian Mira-Vega, known to his friends as Entarquellian or Tarq, is an Epolian resistance fighter and potential love interest for the Scrapper.

Background
Born in Epolian space near Hasden'Fili in 2340, Entarquellian grew up in the Epolian resistance, and when he was only eighteen he watched as the movement in which he grew up - along with most of his herd - was effectively destroyed. He took the sacrifices of his herdmates to heart and took responsibility for the resistance's continued underground efforts until he was arrested in the 2370s. Prior to his arrest, however, he had made contact with allies at Elliott-Russell-Wilcomb, who arranged for his escape from jail on an abandoned old ship, the coordinates of which they gave to a local scrapper.

Personality
Tarq feels a deep sense of responsibility for the lives he has lost, and not only emotionally - possessing of an exceptionally sensitive AI, he senses the remains of their cybernetics every time he connects to his herd's network. This sensitive AI has also helped him survive - he is perceptive, emotionally intelligent and an adept tactical thinker, skills which have all served him well as a resistance fighter. Unfortunately these powers of perception have also made him impatient and somewhat paranoid; and his capacity to think extremely quickly (owing in part to his networked intelligence) means that he can sometimes become irritated or belligerent during arguments.

He has just escaped from prison; there is too much heat on him for him to be able to do anything for the resistance for now. He is extremely upset by the prospect of having to lie low and wait, though, and finds himself anxious, pacing and sometimes emotionally distraught, feelings he has never had to deal with in this way before.

If romanced by the player he is surprised by the prospect of loving an alien, especially someone politically uninvolved; but he also finds out through the romance that he is deeply lonely and that their non-judgmental company is perhaps better for them than a romance with a political power would be. Still, he is extremely conflicted about the romance; he doesn't feel he deserves the peace he feels with the player, and on some level, loving them feels like giving up on his cause (even if that's not true).
