Name: Freya Youngblood


Age: 24


Sex: Female


Persona: An easygoing woman, Freya gets along with most people and isn't easily ruffled. She is a hard worker and loves her line of work. She finds the idea of other worlds simply fascinating and secretly dreams of meeting an intelligent alien species firsthand.


(Rank and) Role: Freya works in the Agricultural department on her designated ship. She works as a biological genetics engineer. She changes the genetic makeup of crops and livestock to adapt to harsher space travel environments and other worlds, once they find them, while still being essentially the same creature they started out with.


Biography: Freya was born on Earth, living in the rural southern part of America, until she was ten. Due to a family tragedy, they moved, though because the reason for their moving was so great, they left Earth entirely and settled on the planet Saturn. Freya lived on the rural Saturn until she was eighteen, where she moved to Mars for her college education. She stayed on Mars for two years, taking core classes and delving into her major, agriculture genetics. She then moved to Neptune, where she furthered her studies and accomplishments up until she was asked to join the three ships that would be making a pilgrimage outside of the solar system. Of course Freya said yes.

Designation: Seems to call itself "Quote",and responds only to such.


Age: 75 year old chassis,two months since last firmware update.


Sex: Male chassis,male voiceprint.


Personality: As a synth,Quote is bound to Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics,where,in order of precedence,


1) A robot must not bring harm to a human,through action or inaction.


2) A robot must obey orders from any human,unless it's result would violate the First Law


3) A robot must protect it's own existance,unless it would violate the First or Second Laws


As such,Quote sees the world in black and white; Humans and their orders are white,while anything that violates the Laws is black,with no middle ground. Quote speaks very little,but has been known to come up with unorthodox solutions to problems and situations,thanks to expanded data storage bays,and has taken to keeping numerous external data drives. Due to it's bent for silence,people are generally unnerved by it's presence.


Rank: Primary Data Proccessing,Bridge Crew. He just takes data and proccesses it for the rest of the Bridge Crew.


Biography: Serial number XATM092,Quote is a Synth built with more storage space than most others,allowing for a greater reference pool. During it's lifespan,Quote has passed through many hands,from private companies,to government interests,and now to a colonization effort as a glorified calculator.

[Kagura]

Name: Meisha Keon


Age: 21


Sex: Female


Persona:


This girl is devoted to her job, so much so that she is a perfectionist in her own way and dislikes it when people do her job. Not one to ask for help in her own area of expertise, and is somewhat rebellious if those over her order otherwise. Both intelligent and considerate, she has faith in herself to do things right although it may take a little longer.


Role: Operations Officer; handles communications, sensory systems, internal system controls, schedules resource, hardware and system usage.


Biography:


Meisha’s mother died when she was eight, leaving her with two younger brothers and a depressed father figure. The situation, although sad in itself, made her grow up fast as she had to urge her father into work every day. She also took care of her two younger brothers when he wasn’t at home, but that all changed when her father remarried five years later.


It was a woman she was rather estranged from, as she tried to avoid her as much as she could, which in turn made her father upset. The girl was young though, and didn’t quite accept her even when she left the house at the early age of sixteen. Meisha used the money from her mother’s inheritance to enroll herself into a university.


She didn’t exactly plan to get her role on the ship, it just happened to work out that way; she still loves the job all the same.

[fish]

Name: Michael Jasik


Age: 29


Sex: Male


Persona: Out of her two children, his mother praises one as the light of her life, and that child isn't Michael. Ever since he was little, Michael has caused nothing but problems. His reckless and daring attitude has had him stuck in countless of troubles. And he never learns. With that thick head of his, Michael keeps making the same mistakes and has yet to find a way out of the problems he creates. He has no real life goal and is in no way ambitious. Many call him a good-for-nothing, and they would be right. His positive traits, few as they are, include his natural optimism (which contributes greatly to his recklessness) and his resilience. No matter how tough life is, Michael always bounces back, even if the people around him do not.


(Rank and) Role: Corporal. Security Officer.


Biography: Michael comes from a long line of good-for-nothing family. Born on Earth, he and his older sister are abandoned by their drunk of a father as soon as Michael turns seven. Michael resents him more than anyone, even their mother. As a child, he proves to be nothing but a burden. While his older sister, Abigail, tries to help their mother out, he spends his time getting into fights and failing classes. When he turns fourteen, his overworked mother becomes ill with a sickness none of them have the money to cure and dies. Abigail raises him ever since, but his attitude never improves. After graduating from a public college with the lowest GDP possible, Michael does a variety of labor jobs, but eventually ends up enlisting in the army. It turns out that he is noticeably talented in the area, but his irresponsibility and indiscipline have prevented him from getting promotions. On a twist of fate, Michael is recognized by someone from the Serpent's Cross and gets the job as a sort of a grunt.

(Any spots left???)


Name: Ryan (real name is Ambrositas, named after the Orders God of Vengeance.


Age: 28


Sex: male


Rank and Role: Security officer for the elites. Of course, that is just a fake...


Persona: Ryan (Ambrositas) is an ice cold killer. As a member of the powerful organisation 'The Order', he has been trained from birth to kill. On the outside, Ryan might seem a pretty decent guy: nice, easy-going, and good with his hands. But on the inside... He is someone who has never experienced love or friendship. By the old Nightangel motto: 'An Assassin doesn't have friends: only targets', Ryan kills, and is good at it.


Biography: Ambrositas was taken from Earth just before the first Rob-war. The Order has a particular dislike for Robots, and it has indoctrinated her followers into believing all robots are evil. After his kidnapping, Ambrositas was taken to the Training centre of the Order: the spaceship Saferaty. Here, Ambrositas was shaped into a first rate Assassin, the highest rank of Order students. Now, two years after his last assignment, the Order has ordered 'Ryan' to infiltrate onto the outgoing spaceships, to secure a place for the Order in the far stars. His real mission is a Topsecret: even Ambrositas himself doesn't know it yet...

 

[Heartsteal]

I'll need to go over some things about this:


1: You read the night angels, good on you. (completely irrelevant)


2: There was never a robot war. Synths were programmed from the beginning for a hard-stop should they break any of the three laws, the designers had seen robots of fiction.


3: What would an assassin have to do on a colonization vessel? The common assumption is that they won't be coming back, so there would be no real reason to send anyone to kill crew members unless they agreed with the Cross' goals and wanted to make martyrs out of them. To kill anyone on any of the ships would only influence more people to colonize outside our solar system.

This is simply astounding... Intelligent life, right here! Finally I have something to truly do, not just to putter about, answering questions of the foolish colonists!


Whatever these things are, I'll call them Valkyries for now, in keeping with the name of their homeworld, they seem to have evolved solely for the purpose of doing close-quarters battle. Secondary eyelids keep them from losing view of their opponent in a bind, and with dense musculature, it's evident that they're likely able to lift three to four times their own body weight with little training beyond their norm. Assuming that their entire species is similar to what I assume is this male hunter we got to see, they're likely not very superstitious, and act practically before their emotions betray them. I suspect a very warlike nature if that monster is average here, and it looks like Valkyries eat those things...


Anyways, minute changes to bone structure, but with the thickness of this one's brow, I'm going to guess that their bones are thicker, and likely more dense than our own. Four fingers and an opposable thumb, their bodily structure seems to be very similar to humans. Is it perhaps that humanity is near the top of the evolutionary ladder?


Culturally, based on this one's garb, I'm going to hypothesize some similarity to our own Norse past; convenient really. Now, I've no idea how they think compared to humans, but I'd predict that it would likely be more confrontational than our own.
