Personality & Traits
General Overview
Razor, being a generally friendly guy is shy around woman whom he has feelings for. He also has a temper which builds up either slowly or really fast to boiling point depending on how many factors influence his irritation, frustration or fuels his anger. Razor is sharper than he makes himself out to be, his natural ability in the cockpit of a Viper makes him an adversary not to be taken lightly. Some say that if he knew what he was doing half of the time behind the stick of the Viper he might get even better.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Razor has an amazing amount of concentration and observation. Unfortunately, this is offset by his extreme temper if anyone (or any circumstance) pushes him enough.
Ambitions
Razor simply aspires to be the best pilot in the fleet. Even though everyone has pointed out to him that he has the skill of a hotshot in cockpit of the Viper, he does not believe that his skills are incredible in anyway. In fact he wants to become even better because he believes he is capable of so much more. He makes it a point to give it his all if anyone challenged him in a simulated dogfight, and he'd very much prefer if his opponent went all out as well.
Hobbies & Interests
Reading, writing, playing flight simulators.

Born on Caprica, Dillen was raised as an only child by his Father. His mother died when he was very young, so Dillen didn't know her really well except for what his Father told him. His father had served all twelve years through the First Cylon War and decided to settle down in retirement, running courier services using a custom built unarmed military transports which he managed to purchase through some friends in the Colonial Fleet. The custom transports were more bulkier than your standard Viper or even the Raptor and forced a pilot to harness their skills to make up for the poor performance with which these custom made "Couriers" flew.

Dillen grew up flying these Couriers, and after five years from the age of eight, he learned refined techniques of flying the bulky transport in ways that made it perform as good as a Raptor could and just barely keep up with a Viper. His father never taught him a thing, but rather had Dillen try to learn things for himself behind the stick.
It was when he first got a shot at piloting a Viper in flight school where Razors skills really shined. Pulling off mind blowing performances in flight techniques that his instructors have only seen once before during the First Cylon War.
He graduated at the top of his class.

His Father though was not impressed. Dillen's piloting and dog fighting skills, were exceptionally good as had proven it once and again. But his Father still sternly believed that Razors techniques were still too undefined and told Dillen that he could fly far better than him when he was younger.
And his father proved the point by having a simulated dogfight with Dillen and soundly defeating him. By piloting against someone as talented as his Father, Dillen's skills became even more refined. Hence his call sign "Razor", as someone once pointed out that his skills were that of a refined and sharpened edge.

Dillen joined the Colonial Fleet at the age of 18 and served a solid 4 years. Through the course of his career someone even suggested that he'd be a perfect candidate for leading a squadron, but the CO at the time decided to withhold the offer from him a while longer, and the opportunity never arose. Dillen then got transfered to Megaera as one of its Squadron Leaders.
