Taylor Lucas is a member of the Starfleet Marine Corps and veteran of Federation-Cardassian skirmishes, Anti-Pirate/Smuggler operations, the Dominion War and the Thesa Prime Campaign. Currently serving on board the USS Fenris as the Marine Commanding Officer he's facing a galaxy full of danger and wonder while remaining at the forefront of the ship's protective forces.
Physical Description
To most he looks like the typical, average human being. Taylor's physical appearance while slightly muscular is nothing spectacular mirroring his mind set. Rather than use pure brute strength he has a tacticians mind when it comes to both operations and personal combat. He has no scars owing to the fact medical technology has taken away them away, he does however have tattoos of the units he has served in. They are located on his right bicep.
121 FPR-121st Fleet Protection Regiment
66 SPMR- 66th Spaceborne Marine Rangers
When in combat he wears upgraded armour, in a cosmetic sense. His armour is actually an older and inferior model with lesser shields and electronic systems to the newer armour suits but prefers it due to it being in his possession since his passing out parade as an enlisted marine. It has a number of illustrations on it, usually with some type of signification meaning.
Centre Chest-Red Lion Rampant on the Saltire background-His Scottish birth and 'nationality'.
Left Shoulder Pad-Jezel, Natalie, Michala and Hatail-Names of women he's had a relationship with but it failed either due to deployment issues, a lack of faith from the woman or simply 'because they were too crazy too often'.
Right Shoulder Pad- Scantily clad Orion woman cradling a phaser carbine in a 'pin up' position with the words 'Once you go Green, you never go back' underneath-A sign of faith to the marines, green being their colour. Also a challenge to people who engage in physical relationships with marines that they'll want for nothing else.
Psychological Profile
Taylor is as blunt as they come as he is a firm believer of never holding back words. This often gives people the impression that he's an emotionally obtuse man. However deep down, and sometimes on the surface, he has compassion and understanding of other people's feelings. Never cruel Taylor doesn't shy away from offering help, often at his own cost.
Not one for pomp and ceremony Taylor just wants to get the job done then sleep off the effects of a mission. This results in a more casual and laid back atmosphere when off duty when he's around with other marines. On duty he's professional, clinical and above all; lethal.
Respect and trust from him are hard earned, even more so from those who expect it from the get-go. Still he has patience for young and inexperienced crew mates, even as going as far as running training simulations with them. On the other hand he doesn't suffer fools gladly.
He is the scourge of Chief Medical Officers around Starfleet, often throwing himself into harms way all-too eagerly. Some have commented the self-destruct nature of Taylor's risk taking. Even when wounded badly he refuses himself any ounce of medical attention unless sedated, ordered to by a superior officer or rendered unconscious.

History
Born on Earth in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland to Doctors Gareth and Mary Lucas, Taylor was always in peak physical and had a strong immune system as a child. Living the care-free life Taylor never wanted for anything and as a result he turned into a rather spoilt child, always looking to get his own way. Studying in Cairo at one of the Federation's most prestigious centres of learning. While he attained some of the highest grades Taylor was known throughout his childhood as a daydreamer, constantly looking at the horizon to what could happen rather than what was currently happening.
When deciding to join the marines as an enlisted trooper his father flew into a rage. Taylor had the qualifications and intelligence to pick any career within Starfleet. Cut off from home Taylor found the brutal training difficult but managed to hold his own, even leaving training with the rank of Lance Corporal due to displayed leadership skills as well as a tenacity for doing what it takes to win. Taylor spent his younger years doing as most enlisted marines do; enjoy themselves. He was always getting into trouble with security, romance with women around the quadrant and acting like young men did.
Taylor decided to go through Officer Academy with their fast-track program. Due to his previous experience as a combat marine most of the time spent was advanced leadership courses. He graduated in time for the Dominion War. The most brutal conflict he had ever been involved in was not enough to break Taylor, refusing to bow to the physical and psychological trauma that so many others had embraced.
Another conflict would raise it's ugly head in 2383 when an Orion pirate cabal and it's mixed-race contingent would strike upon the Federation world of Thesa Prime. A task force spent almost a year dislodging their entrenched enemy, one of which Taylor was a part of. During the last battle against the besieged Orions he took shrapnel from a frag shell, causing near-fatal injuries. Taylor spent two years on a hospital ship, a quarter of which was spent in a biobed from surgery and the much needed recovery. The wounds sustained and the treatment had a deep impact on Taylor, often hating sickbays for their "smell" and never spending one second longer in one that he has to.
During his time on Starbase Seven in 2386 things seemed to be generally getting better for Taylor. His career seemed to be growing as the Marine Commanding Officer, even reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He had a healthy relationship with the XO Commander Lillian Crae as well as friendships amongst crew and civilians. The last tragedy to date would occur on mid-2387 during a mission on Sigma III where Taylor was left behind after offering to hold off advancing enemy forces to allow the away team to escape, an action which caused him to be missing presumed dead. In fact he was captured by the enemy forces, slave soliders of the Tholians, and shipped towards their territory.
PRISM Vanguard, a secretive arm of the Starfleet Special Forces branch, managed to intercept Taylor and rescue him from a fate of slavery. They offered with a position within their ranks which he eagerly accepted. Bitter about his 'abandonment' by the crew of Starbase Seven Taylor proceeding to enter a state of decline filled with heavy drinking and self pity. It was when he came to realise that within Starfleet he'd never be happy he left PRISM for Vega Station; a pirate station on the borders of the Federation and Cardassian space.
For the last few months Taylor has paired up with a young Orion, Nayral Pena, fighting for whoever pays the most latinum. However currently the pirate pair are on a mission of revenge....
