Fiction:Admiral Jamduar

"Too often in the Gigaquadrant do I see people in power who behave terribly. All they do is smirk and be sarcastic and impulsive. An officers duty is to always be serious, collected, and efficient. Otherwise, they should not be an officer."

- Admiral Jamduar

Admiral Sophia Jamduar is a top ranking official in both the Hegemony Navy and the Hegemony Government. She is characterized by her no nonsense demeanor, thoughtful actions, and lack of dangerous impulsiveness.

Bio
Jamduar started her career in the Ranax navy several years before the Dominatus would attack her empire. She quickly rose through the ranks do to her serious demeanor and willingness to carry out orders farther up the chain of command. After graduating from fleet school, she continued to impress and was swiftly promoted to admiral.

When the Dominatus invaded Ranax space, she lead the breakout campaign that would end with the Ranax fleet coming into contact with the Hegemony. Upon encountering the Hegemony, their fleet was quickly folded into the Hegemony Navy. Commander Marius eventually saw Jamduar in action and was highly impressed by her skills. He put her in charge of a fleet group and had her fight alongside Admirals Vassilus and Ulrac to free up Hegemony space.

It is know that after the liberation of her people from Dominatus control, she was swiftly voted to be the female representative to the Hegemony council. And extra set of duties did not bug Jamduar, more orders meant little to her besides more to be focused on.

When the Gigaqudrantic Conflicts started, she was ordered to help Admiral Vassilus lead the Mirus campaign. So far, she has done a very good job at fighting the Hegemony's enemies.

Personality and Appearance
Jamduar is a youngish female Ranax. Her skin is very smooth like marble and is of a porcelain color (Ranax look like different types of rocks.Females are also smoother than males). Her black dreadlock like hair that her race has is always pulled up in a tight bun on the back if her head. She is never seen without her Admiral uniform on, ribbons and medals going down her chest. She is considered very attractive by plenty of people, but most don't make passes at her do to her personality and high rank. Only Admiral Vassilus flirts with her regularly, but he does it more as a joke between friends than as anything serious.

Jamduar is characterized by her serious nature. Not so much icy, but very focused. She does not let things distract her because if she was nominated to have the important jobs that she does have, the least she could do is perform them to the best of her abilities. Though it would seem she is cold and uncaring, she looks out for everyone under her command and makes sure that their needs are being properly cared for. This has lead to her being highly respected among the common soldier.

Jamduar is annoyed by people who are snarky and sarcastic, especially if they are powerful people. To her, having authority is a humbling experience, so people who don't take it seriously don't deserve it. She doesn't like snarky, sarcastic people because oftentimes those people think they are witty when they are just being annoying. Again, its all about professionalism to her.

Off Duty Hobbies
From the following information, you would think the Admiral does not have a life. That is not true, she has hobbies that she does in between her official work. And this excluding the mandatory physical fitness courses and combat refreshers that all officers and officials in the Hegemony do.

Jamduar actually dance on her off times. Mostly the traditional dances from the Ranax homeworld. The dances vary from region to region, so she could be doing a riverdance look alike one day, and another day a flowing acrobatic dance that involves a lot of gyrating. Her bodyguards say that shes very good at it and could probably win some competitions, if she ever took some vacation time, which she doesn't. When one guard inquired if she would ever dance in front of people besides her guards, she replied "It would have to be a pretty important occasion".

She also has a killer singing voice according to her guards. Once again, its traditional Ranax songs that she sings, in the authentic Ranax language. She has the same stance on her singing as her dancing, only on important occasions would she sing in front of others.

Relations
(Note, these are special cases. For the most part, Jamduar treats every one the same. More will be added as she meets new people)
 * Admiral Vassilus: As stated above, Vassilus hits on her more often than not. Though Janduar seems annoyed by this, she and Vassilus are actually quite good friends. Since she is older than him, she says that she is more mature than him. However, she does acknowledge that he is one of the best admirals in the Hegemony, and is glad (As glad as her proffesional demeanor will allow) whenever they fight alongside one another.


 * Commander Marius*: Admiral Jamduar has a bit of a soft spot for Marius. She is very loyal to him and would never think of betraying. She respects and even admires him and understands the hardships of being the head of such a vast empire as the Hegemony. Marius more often than not refers to her as "My Dear" and oftentimes debriefs her personally. This has lead to rumors of the two of them having a secret relationship and the debriefings actually being steamy rendezvous. This is a falsehood, as Marius is actually preparing Jamduar to be his successor when he eventually retires from his post.
