Stunts:

Smarter Than you Think: You can use Provoke in place of Empathy to learn a target’s aspects, by bullying them until they reveal one to you. The target defends against this with Will. (If the GM thinks the aspect is particularly vulnerable to your hostile approach, you get a +2 bonus.) ("Okay, Fine!" Stunt from Fate Core rulebook)

Like a Monkey in his Element: +2 on Athletics to overcome or create an advantage in awkward, rough, or dangerous terrain (trees, cliffs, rooftops, balconies, etc.)

Grappler: +2 to Physique rolls made to create advantages on an enemy by wrestling or grappling with them. (Stunt from Fate Core rulebook)

Phases:

First Phase: Half-Imperial/Half-Autochthonous - Befreinded by neither

Coming from a dual heritage, Tarko can move with ease between Imperial factions and indigenous ones. But sometimes folk resent someone who isn't "purebred" who thinks he's better than both halves.

Second Phase: Veteran of the Border Skirmishes

He fought bravely to defend against the Orc incursions, but it was a losing war. His enemies are quick to remind everyone of that.

Third Phase: Got a family to support

Settler-descended Ma and Native Aakuana-e Pa are getting old. Big sis and litter brother are there to help, though.
