Anyone play a cardassian romulan?

Since I transferred to console I'm having to start over, and my starfleet caitian is almost to 50 now, so I've started looking at alts. On PC I had two fed caitians, a kdf ferasan, a kdf gorn, and two romulan...romulans. Never unlocked reman, I like their character but not particularly their appearance options, and that's all the roms were able to use other than the generic aliens.
On PC a couple of my bridge officers for my fed characters were "cardassian" (Alien boffs customized to look cardassian). Lately I've been tossing around the idea of making a cardassian player character on the romulan faction. My trek lore is a little sketchy and faded but the two seem like they would be similar. Obsidian order/tal shiar, both very sneaky militaristic species with imperial governments, shady and calculating, etc. I cant seem to recall if the two got along in DS9 episodes or if they were at odds.
What do you think of the concept? Cardassian, possibly an obsidian order agent that was working with the tal shiar/romulans at the time of the hobus supernova, ends up fleeing with the rest of the refugees - reman and romulan alike - and winds up with the romulan republic. Seems like the republic would be well aided by a cardassian that can think like their enemies (the tal shiar).
Just looking for opinions =P

That said, this is Star Trek.
KDF: 2 tacs, 2 engs, 3 scis
KDF Roms: 3 tacs, 1 eng, 1 scis
FED: 2 tacs, 1 eng, 2 scis
TOS: 1 tac
all on T5 rep (up to temporal)
all have mastered Intel tree (and some more specs Points)
highest DPS: 60.982
But maybe that still leaves room for someone that was a young agent and now is old, grey, bitter and disillusioned but still alive and kicking.
Since the cardassians are kinda "broken people" since the devestation the Dominion inflicted on their homeworld, he could also just be someone that was trying to carve out a new place for his people, finding like-minded people among the Romulans that needed every help they could get on their new colonies.
There is also time travel and stasis pods and all sorts of freakish things that could explain a younger character that was part of the Order.
On another note I find it tragic that people always assume that all members of a species are carbon copies of their military/intelligence. Bumps on their heads or not, people are people.
Anyone know about cardassian naming themes? I'm thinking I may want to give him a somewhat generic name so if I eventually decide I don't want him to be a cardassian I can just change appearance
Kirok is in the game.. he doesnt play often, but he is in the game. handle is @CaptKirok IIRC
I had hoped that back when LoR launched, Cryptic would have allowed for playable Cardassians (and Suliban) within the Republic, but that never happened. You best get saving for your Keldon (or Galor).
I have a character set up like that. His backstory is he was part of the True Way, then worked for the Federation before "retiring" on Virinat, joining the Rom Republic after the attack.
