@Kuro -- sorry to disappoint! I gave him some stubble, though, if that counts for anything?

@Grainsy -- Thanks, love! It's fingers crossed and all that. We shall see how everything goes.

Everyone else -- FINALLY done with that character sheet, and Deli's ended up almost entirely different from what I've originally planned, though I've got a good handle on who she is now. Thanks for you patience, all. I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of this venture with you lovely, talented people. =)

Sorry, I'm afraid so Hellis. RoadRash was simply someone we weren't sure was going to have the time to join, but then it turns out he did!

Name: William “Big Bill” Cothran

Occupation / Position : Drilling / Excavation Expert; drill chief on mining ship.

Description: Standing at an imposing 6’5” in his stocking feet, and tipping the scales at 275 lbs, “Big Bill” is more than worthy of his nickname. His sky-blue eyes have seen a lot in his 54 years of life, from the inside of a prison cell to the underbelly of the earth, and his gravelly voice and gruff demeanor mark him as a no-nonsense workhorse with little time for dumb questions or general shenanigans.

Born in Odessa, Texas, to a family of roughnecks, Bill was working the oilfields with his father by 16. Always blessed with size and strength, he hit his growth early and was one of the most sought-after drill hands until his 25th birthday. Then tragedy struck in the form of a birthday party turned barroom brawl that left one man with a broken spine and another beaten blind, and landed young William Cothran a seven year stint for felony assault in the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville.

After serving his time quietly and keeping his head down, Bill got out and went immediately back to work. The oilfields don’t discriminate based on rapsheet, after all, and he quickly fell back into the old routine, running drills of every size, shape, and description. In his early 40s, in an attempt to build his resume and make himself more versatile, he began working as a miner. He learned blasting techniques unique to mining, how to shore up shafts, and showed himself to be an expert with the smaller, man-portable drilling and cutting equipment used down underground. A brief stint on a natural gas site put him in touch with Owen Reece, and the two became good friends thanks to a mutual love of drinking and cards.

Eventually, the work ran out, thanks in no small part to environmental activists around the world blaming the sudden Change on invasive drilling and mining procedures. Unable to find work, Bill was down to his last few dollars and half a tank of gas when his old friend Reece gave him a call, telling him he was looking for a driller. A quick drive, a few beers, and a poker game later, Bill was ready to sign on. After all; how often do you get to run a drill in zero-g?

Personality: Big Bill is a grump, and he embraces it. He takes his work seriously, and has a zero-tolerance policy in regards to whining and backtalk. The fiery temper than landed him in prison has faded to smolder with age and experience, though vestiges of it can still be seen. A smart comment is likely to result in increased volume on Bill’s part, and he’s not afraid to let the expletives (and sometimes tools) fly when he gets heated, though he learned the hard way to keep his hands to himself. On his off time, he’s a fan of old country and classic rock music, cards, and drinking the day’s stress away, usually with his buddy Reece.

Tattoos : A faded old pin-up girl on his right outer forearm, the state of Texas in black and white on his left. The inside of the right forearm reads “Respect Few” in Old English lettering, and the inside of the left sports the words “Fear None” in the same style. The left side of his neck has a battered old shamrock, with three sixes through the middle.

CS for my main character is up, though minor additions may be added as they come to mind. I'll start work on my security team leader shortly-ish.

Great character, RoadRash!

I still want to come up with a secondary character, though. Anyone have any ideas they can throw my way?

*sigh* that's upsetting, but easy enough to fix.

Justric, you should make a cook...or something. I'm sure you'd have a much nicer way of saying it.

I'm thinking that a cook would be great. Or someone who does general work that would cross paths with both scientists, military folk, and engineers.

Soooo... Yeah. I thought I'd make a CS for Antoine's cat because... he's kinda like a secondary character, right?



Name: Mowzer, formerly Heimdall, formerly Larry, formerly Spots, formerly Aurthur, true name unknown.

Gender: Male. Despite what some people have thought, very much Male.

Age: 12

Occupation/Position: Personal animal companion of Antoine Eadore

Background: No runt of the litter was Mowzer, no mewling kittenling struggling to suckle his mother's teat. From birth, he was Alpha, the one who held the coveted napping spot against mother's chin, the one who drank first at every meal, and suffered no trespass upon his position. Born on a farm in rural Wyoming, Mowzer and his littermates lived the vibrant, best-of-both-worlds life that belonged to the farmcat. Owning dutiful, loving humans who cared for him as a child, yet having uncounted acres of varied lands to explore at his leisure.

And explore he did, striking out on his own with barely two years under his collar. The wilds met him in their usual, unforgiving way, and Mowzer stepped up to the challenge. He hunted, he ate, he fought, he ran, he made his living for over a year, wandering wherever he fancied to go, until boredom caused him to walk over to a promising-looking family in some small town he never bothered to learn the name of.

And that was the story of the next seven years of his life. He'd live with a family for a while, then leave, wandering through the wilds until fancy caused him to adopt a new human or three. He lived with the retired and the fresh-from-college, with established families and some unkept man on the street. Each gave him a new name, each offered him food and scritched him behind the ears, and each eventually faded away as he set off once more.

Things changed once the Bad came in, though. The strange plants and animals that weren't part of the wilds Mowzer had come to know. They grew in odd ways, smelled of dangerous scents and moved like no creature -even a cat- had the right to do. He understood the danger posed by the Bad, and as it grew more and more, he retreated further and further.

Finally, however, he reached an area the Bad couldn't seem to penetrate. A giant rock within which teemed uncountable numbers of humans. They took Mowzer in, as humans always had, and he promptly made the entire inside of the rock his home. Wandering all about took up much of his now copious free time, food always seeming in abundance and scritches able to be acquired whenever he felt the desire to ask. It was a good time, much better than when he had to run from the Bad, and it was there that he found the one who named him 'Mowzer'.

Other humans called him 'An-twine', but to Mowzer he was simply his newest Human. They walked together within the giant rock, shared meals and traded rubs for scritches whenever the need arose. The human was a good human, and Mowzer decided to stay, eventually following him aboard the giant metal house with everyone else.

There were other animals there -who Mowzer promptly put in their places- but eventually his Human stepped into a strange thing and stopped moving for a long time. Humans did that, sure, but not in things like that, and Mowzer didn't know what to think of it. He yelled at his human to wake up, scratched the clear surface of the thing and generally made a racket until other humans put him in something similar. He thought of clawing at them, of tearing from their arms and bolting through the house, but in the end allowed the humans to do what they wanted.

If the thing his Human was in was the same, then perhaps it would let them be together. The thought was a good one, and so Mowzer curled up inside the thing as the lid closed, and dreamed of hunting mice and fighting foxes for what seemed like lifetimes.
