-History
Short History: Samir was only 12 years old when the years of Drathonian betrayal abruptly came and changed his life forever. His mother and father were astronauts who specialized in space exploration and so he always had to travel year by year in the very edge of the Terran colonial territories, making his life somewhat lonely. Nevertheless, he lived a happy life, even if it meant seeing his parents only once every week. The newly established colony they were in was so insignificant that the Drathonians didn't bother invading them, busy with destroying the densely populated Terran colonies far away. They could have lived simple lives, in eternal fear of when their colony would get noticed and invaded as well, but the Duran couple decided not to wait for that moment. They launched a space shuttle deep into the devastated Terran regions bringing as much supplies as they could, to provide relief for any survivors that could be depending on their arrival. Samir didn't want them to go, or at least go with them, but they denied him, and left him alone, in the small Terran colony. He never heard of them again.

2 years passed, and Samir's seemingly bleak home was discovered by some Terran forces seeking refuge from a hard fought battle. They told him of the great Terran devastation the Drathonians had caussed and this only angered and convinced Samir more and more that his parents were dead, killed by those serpentine monsters. He joined the Terran military and proved to be an ace soldier in hand in hand combat and sharp shooting, and was also a highly skilled pilot. The higher ups didn't know where to place him but the Terran fleet's desperate need for new recruits gave the final decision. He bonded easily with his fellow pilots and won significant missions, being heralded as among the greatest.

Then came one fateful mission. A Terran fleet went head to head with a Drathonian fleet two to three times larger above a large clouded world named as Trek. Despite the Terrans' tactical advantages, the Drathonians kept on recieving a lot more reinforcements than the Terrans did, which inevitably forced them to retreat. Samir was among those forces that were to hold back the enemy for the main ships to retreat. The retreat was a success, at the expense of several crafts, such as Samir's Scimitar Starfighter. He was shot down, and was forced to make a crash landing for the strange world that not much information was available of. He fell into a pool of dirty water, with strange slug like things swimming in it. He could feel a ferociously painful headache as these things dug deep into his skull and at first seemed to feed off his brain before finally settling into it like parasites.

They strived to force him into subjection, but somehow failed from his sheer determination. They conversed with him through his head, and spoke of the Drathonians being their enemy as well, killing off their hosts in their private world of Trek. They convinced him of a master plan to wipe out the Drathonians as a compromise to preserve both the Yerken and Human races, if he'd obediently offer them his assistance. He accepted, and in turn, his psychic abilities became so much more powerful, with the Yerks' specialized mental abilities - only effective with hosts. None of his old team survived the battle with the Drathonians that forced him intot he crash landing into Trek, but they were replaced by the Yerks' hosts, the Groods, vaguely humanoid, but larger and much more muscular, and had those extended tendrils that served as antennas for psychic connection among the Yerks. The Groods, in joint forces with the Terrans, used Terran technology to fight as separate Terran divisions. Duran was among one of those divisions, with one of the Groods being their captain. The Groods proved to be quite notorious, at par with that of Terran Special Forces, but remained to be in the shadows, much more for the slug beings that controlled them, mistaken as human elites by the Drathonians most of the time.

-Notes
Appearance:
Samir Duran, age 28
Duran was very muscular and agile, due to a lot of extreme physical conditioning in constant strife for surviival and in battles, as well as the powerful influence by his psychic ability to empower and exceed his physical limits.
Common Grood
Because the Groods were constantly in battle, their numbers severly lacking from being exterminated by the Drathonians, they kept on getting injured, losing body parts from time to time. The Yerks cannot afford to lose any more hosts, so they took advantage of the terran technology of robotics, and replaced the lost limbs and organs with mechanical parts. This allowed them to attach beam sabers on their arms for better hand in hand combat.

Distinguishing characteristics: He has a powerful psychic abiltiy and is "one" with the Yerks in his head, but from outside, he appears to be like any other normal Terran Soldier.
