Eli Alexander, Military Psychic, portrayed by Das
Eli spent his early childhood living amongst the Mo' and learning their language before being recruited (press-ganged) into the military as he was not registered and was caught stealing from a government food bank. He excelled in the army while discovering and refining his psychic ability in secret. After meeting a fellow soldier who talked him into going AWOL he escaped and traveled with them for a short period of time. But for the last few months he left their organization to try and use his Telepathy ability to help negotiations but the work is slow and he is getting hungry. So he is coming back to the old merc group to make some quick cash.
Street kid scrounging a living on a burnt out world. Discovered she could do special tricks, but the tricks made her head hurt. Then she met The Man. He showed her how to do the tricks without it hurting. Then They killed him. So, she killed Them. Then it seemed like a good idea to be somewhere else. Maybe go visit the school that The Man told her about..
Stoni is a former enforcer for the Kanezashi Syndicate. The Kanezashi Syndicate is a yakuza-like eugenics cult (Machiavelli, Vice Lords tags) that believes that their traditions and genestock are superior and the more powerful of the syndicate frequently utilize ghoul immortality tech to elongate their lives. In a play to capture more of this technology from one of his junior leaders, Hideo Kanezashi framed the Kuroyuki family for a genocidal attack on a colony station near Abbas-Ghulam. As a result, Stoni's older brother was forced to disembowel himself in public repentance, though he had been innocent. Other members of the Kuroyuki family were then summarily executed or shoved into backwater posts and treated as slaves. Stoni was assigned to a trading ship bound for Wayfair. To escape his mistreatment, he sabotaged the ship, forcing it to a spectacular crash on Nudar, ejecting himself prior.
He spent the next few years wandering the planet in anguish and self-loathing until finally he found some resolve to restore his family's name or at least make a name for himself. During his self imposed exile, he has brushed time and time again with the native Saros and has cultivated a trading relationship with several of their enclaves. He has learned to survive in the wilds of Nudar but he is ready to elevate his trade to interplanetary scale. He wants off Nudar. Stoni also would like to find out if any of his family have survived and do what he can to liberate them from the syndicate's grip.
Stoni tends toward brash, loud, headstrong and stubborn behavior. He was raised as a gangster and required to collect debts, abduct people, interrogate prisoners and perform other routine syndicate business. His conscience never weighed heavily until the tragedy of his own family's downfall. Now he has a different perspective and aims to be less callous but old habits may die hard.

As things progress, I would think that you all will split into different groups that I will display here. My thinking is the following:
Compass Crew (3-6 including pilot; 5 max if no pilot due to NPC)
West Wind (3-6 including pilot; 5 max if no pilot due to NPC)
Jenny Body, Mercenary, portrayed by Mister-Kent
As a private security contractor on war-torn Aud, Jenny Body (Born Genevieve Botticelli) found she could make more money by working for both sides of the conflict. This mercenary streak of hers got her effectively exiled from her homeworld, and now she seeks her fortune among the stars.
Jenny is a buxom, well-built woman in her early 30s. She has long black hair pulled into a high ponytail, olive skin, and dark-brown eyes. She wears simple metallic armor over a black and red uniform.

Mr. Robert J. Withers, Ex Tank Gunner, Marksman, and mercenary at your service. I heard your envoy needed a security escort, and, well, you're in luck, because I'm looking for security work. Why me you may ask? well let me tell you why you want me as your head of security. I'm the smartest gun toting mother fucker out there, I don't just shoot this here bang stick, I also am damn good at figuring out how to keep myself and my assistants alive. I've thought myself out of many an ambush that would have killed dozens of lesser men.
Did you hear about the battle of Kartan Pass? no? Shame... Let me tell you then. I had a team of six grav tanks, with minor infantry support, and my superiors tell me, drive through Kartan Pass and regroup with the main march on the other side. We got "seperated", but that's another story for another time and a drunker me. *wink*
Anyways, We're cruising down this valley when i think to myself, this is an awesome position for an ambush, if we pulled these tanks up the cliffsides, no one would have time to back out before we clobbered 'em. So I says to my second, "How far behind us is that tailing group supposed to be?" and he answers me, " Sir, I thought they were supposed to catch us hours ago, them Hover planes they've got should've over run us hours ago, that's why we're double timing it." and at that moment, I thought, SHIT, we're sitting ducks in here. and wouldn't you guess it, there's a collapse in the cliffside up ahead blocking the main trails. I bet you know where this is headed...
Well I only had about two more seconds before those hover jets show up overhead, they had swung wide so as to ambush us in this narrow place. So in a moment of sheer tactical genius, I fire my Heavy Rail Cannon through the peaks of the cliffs overhead, turning them into flak cannons with all that stone knocked clear by the slugs. and would you know it, 6 antiarmor spec grav tanks knock 3 grav jets clean outta the sky, without a single casualty.
Now, you're more than welcome to hire one of them "Officer's School" trained captains, if you'd like, but they can't think on there toes. as soon as you throw into a real combat situation, they are useless. you run into a single pirate or bandit with any experience under his belt, and your captain will get confused when they don't follow the "rules of engagement". Plus my rates good, and no one can argue with low cost work. So what'll it be?
