[edit] History
Dylan Hunt is a member of the Intergalactic Systems Commonwealth High Guard. Dylan Hunt was born in Visharna-Tarn, a city on the Commonwealth's capital planet, Tarn-Vedra, to a Pyridine father employed as a highly paid gardener at the Imperial Gardens and a mother employed as a genetically enhanced high-Gravity World Shuttle pilot.
Dylan Hunt is human, half genetically enhanced because his mother was a Heavy-Worlder, descended from a race of superhumans genetically engineered to live on the harsh and hostile environments of high-gravity alien planets. Because of this, he is much stronger and faster than the average human being (he was able to hold his own in hand to hand combat against a Nietzschean warrior, indicating that he has about five times normal human strength, speed and endurance, and most likely superhumanly fast reflexes as well).
Hunt was enlisted in the High Guard military for two years. He was taught by Admiral Constanza Stark who thought very highly of him. He served the Argosy Special Operations as lieutenant commander and commanded the Crimson Eclipse.
During a Magog attack on a station, Dylan and his friend, Ismael Khalid were busy fighting off Magog and trying to rescue scientist Sara Riley, Stark's niece. When she refused to leave because she was in the middle of an important experiment, he destroys her equipment, forcing her to leave. Stark warned her that if she ever met him, she'd either end up marrying him or killing him. She chose the former.
Stark soon sent him to Mobius to remove dictator Ferrin and install a democratic government. She soon introduced him to Gaheris Rhade. Assisted by their guide Dmitri, they tried making their way to Ferrin. It was intended to be a simple mission where no one gets hurt. Unfortunately, a few men were killed fighting them and Ferrin was gunned down when he tried to retaliate. Though it was a mission Dylan would regret for the rest of his life, Stark promoted him to captain and gave him command of the Andromeda Ascendant.
Dylan soon becomes best friends with Rhade. He was chosen to be his best man at his wedding, mainly because of the traditional Earth bachelor parties.
Unfortunately, he never got the chance as the Nietzscheans began their uprising at Hephaistos. Outnumbered, he orders his crew to abandon ship while he and the pilot, Refractions of Dawn, use the nearby black hole to slingshot to the nearest slip point. His attempt was foiled by none other than Rhade, who had tried to warn him about the uprising but he never listened. Dylan managed to hit Rhade with one shot but he was then trapped in the black hole's event horizon, freezing him and the ‘’Andromeda in time. Its avatar, Marida, draws out his essence from his frozen body, begging him to stay with her. As a few minutes passed for him, three hundred years went by. By then, a salvage ship called the Eureka Maru, towed Andromeda off the event horizon. Dylan soon learns from one of the crewmembers that the Commonwealth had fallen but the Nietzschean had never raised an empire. He enlists the Maru's crew to help him restore the Commonwealth.
[edit] Traits
Dylan is half genetically enhanced thanks to his mother's genes. As a Heavy-Worlder, he can stand high gravities and has strength that matches that of a Nietzschean.
[edit] Alternate timelines
[edit] The Unconquerable Man
In an alternate timeline, at the time when Rhade betrayed Dylan, the latter kills the former instead and Rhade takes Dylan's place trying to restore the Commonwealth. Unfortunately, there were betrayals and moral issues that conflicted Rhade. When he was about to destroy a tesseract generator, a future Trance convinced him to let Dylan go in his stead. She takes him back to the Battle of Hephaistos where he killed his past self, took his uniform and began the same battle with Dylan. He allowed Dylan to kill him, in some strange way, restored the Commonwealth.
[edit] Alternate Commonwealth
When Dylan has put together the new Commonwealth, mysterious aliens begins kidnapping senators one-by-one. They massive fleet soon arrives and begin destroying everything. This compels a future Trance to travel back in time during a tesseract incident, switch places with her younger self so as to stop history from repeating itself. Dylan, along with a Sabra-Jaguar fleet defeats the aliens, averting the alternate timeline.
