Charlie Alexander Arcadian

Revolutionary: A reference to the crime that landed him in prison, Charlie has been given this nickname by his fellow Juvies.

Charlie was locked up for what the Inquisitors call, "Defamation and disturbing the peace." Those are really just fancy words to say that Charlie got a small group of teens together to protest the Inquisitors rule. The group would spray paint messages around Port Hope and eventually started a protest against the Inquisitors. They were all caught a few months back during their first protest in the streets of Port Hope.

9 Months

Charlie was put to work in the workshop, mainly fixing and building items that were necessary for life in Port Hope.

Tobi Valade

Charlie's family worked in the station in charge of building and testing weapons.

Charlie is a people person. He's charismatic and funny, and knows how to manipulate people very well. He's a loyal friend, and a ruthless enemy, willing to do anything to help those he cares about, and even more to bring those who have wronged him to his knees. He's also very smart, although he can be rather arrogant. He can get so wrapped up in his own hubris that he forgets to listen to other peoples ideas at times.

Charlie's parents were the definition of soul-mates. Both had lived and worked in Craft Station all their lives, in one of the weapon factories. They were married only a few months after they met, and Charlie was born soon after. From birth, Charlie was taught about the true history of the human race. He's known that Earth was the true birthplace of man and he's dreamed of going there for years. Always a rebellious one, Charlie was never the perfect student and soon after reaching high-school age, he began spreading these ideas, culminating in the creation of the Port Hope Revolutionaries, a group that would land Charlie in prison.

Genevieve Miranda Dawson

She’s called Ginny by one of her siblings; no one else has ever given her a nickname.

Five on the Kinsey Scale

Murder. However, Genevieve is silent as the grave when it comes to the exact circumstances of her imprisonment when she was thirteen, so of course, there are occasionally rumors ranging from her being framed for self defence to happily chucking the contents of an orphanage into the meat grinders.

Helping in the kitchens, clinic, and hydroponics.

To be chosen later (probably)

Genevieve’s father was a high-ranking Inquisitor, but she and her siblings worked as volunteers in hydroponics and medicine.

Genevieve fits the model of the classic bookworm. Too smart for her own good, interested in anything and everything she can get her hands on, and above all, quiet. Despite being one of the longest-term residents of the prison and friendly enough when encountered, she prefers to stay out of the way and out of any conflicts, which means she’s won few friends, but also made no enemies. She can’t lie to save her life, but she’s also not interested in doing so, so although she’s close with no one, many consider her trustworthy. Above all, though, she wants to help people—partly out of a desire to balance the sins of her past, but mostly because that’s just the core of who she is. She has an extensive capacity to forgive, but watch out—once that line is crossed, there’s a side to Genevieve that’s very dark indeed.

As the eldest daughter of a high-ranking Inquisitor, Genevieve wanted for nothing. With three bright younger siblings, a good education and a stable home, the best genetics her father could buy, it seemed like the perfect life on Port Hope, an idyllic, bustling hive of ingenuity.

But there was always something off about the Dawson household. The children were too quiet, perhaps; their mother’s smile too brittle. Perhaps it was the mysterious middle child who died suddenly, cause of death listed only as ‘blunt force trauma’ with no investigation and no suspects ever called to the stand. Perhaps it was the odd dichotomy of half the children never leaving the apartments, while the other two took every chance to get away, both sides utterly refusing to change these habits.

There was certainly something off about the sudden death of Inquisitor Dawson himself. A sudden illness was the official cause, but there were whispers of poisoning—such an archaic way to go—and there was only ever one person found guilty during the covert investigation. Her mother cried when the verdict was given; Genevieve herself did not. She warranted two sentences in a side column of the daily news. And so she quietly went to juvenile prison until she could be executed at 18, where she quietly stayed, until she quietly disappeared in an escape ship that was never meant to escape.

Avery was locked away after she was found in bed with an Inquisitor's daughter. That didn't go over so well and after a quick trial, she was locked up, although oddly enough, the Inquisitor's daughter never saw the inside of a cell.

1 Year

Avery worked in the kitchen during her stay in prison.

Violet Blume

Avery grew up in Construction Station, where her parents worked on building new parts of Port Hope.

Avery is a bubbly, flirty young woman. She's always got a smile on her face and loves people, so much so that she often feels the need to please everyone. She's adores challenges and is always the first one to volunteer for a new adventure. Her need to please will often turn into a determination to succeed, to the point where she'll sacrifice her own needs to finish a project.

Avery lived a rather cushy life compared to many others. Her mother was the head of Construction Station, meaning her family was always rather wealthy. She was one of the more popular girls in school, and always had a lot of friends. It was one of these friends, Nova, that she started a secret romance with. This whirlwind love affair culminated in a night which was interrupted by Nova's father, who exploded. He had her arrested as quickly as she could put on her clothes. In prison, she quickly made friends with some of the other girls, the ones that hadn't murdered anyone specifically.

Janitorial Duties

None. Up until recently she lived with a quiet girl named Julianne. She turned 18 two weeks ago.

The Katona family is famous for producing generation after generation of high-ranking Inquisitors. Rae was next in line.

To call Rae 'willful' would be an understatement. Stubborn as an ox would be more accurate. Hard headed. Clever and charming to be sure, but the moment you think you can tell Rae Katona what to do is the moment you realize you'd have better luck trying to set fire to the ocean. More spiteful than rational, Rae will often do things completely ignoring any consequences.

Though her childhood was far from blissful, she's grown up with more opportunities and resources than anyone should have any right to – and she knows it. She carries herself with all the swagger and confidence (some might say arrogance) of someone who's only ever had it good. Underneath the teenaged attitude and saccharine charm though is a soldier in the making. Rae is sharper than she'd have you think, and surprisingly disciplined when she wants to be. Not that you'd ever realize, with how she seems to court trouble. In spite of (or more likely because of) the strict discipline instilled in her, she takes any opportunity she can to break the rules with reckless abandon, her disregard for authority clear in every move she makes.

Though impulsive, Rae's a perfectionist and can't help but hold herself to implausibly high standards. She expects too much from herself, but hides her insecurities well.

Victoria Rae Katona was born the second child to Henry and Sabine Katona, a well known Inquisitor family. Their other child, Rae's older brother Jensen, was not an Inquisitor. No, instead of carrying on the proud family legacy, Jensen had gone off to be an entertainer of all things. It was quite the embarrassment. Henry and Sabine promptly cut him off and focused all their attention on their younger child – much to Rae's misfortune.

Her childhood was, in a word, regimented. In another word, stifling. In several words, a massive pain in Rae's ass. She had to always be at attention, practice with firearms, hand-to-hand combat, painting was a 'waste of time,' socializing was a distraction… Rae felt smothered. And bitter.

And so, like any teenager, she acted out. She started to steal things. She messed around with the systems. She made unauthorized modifications to her biotech. Never anything too severe, but enough for her to feel in control, even a little bit. Inevitably, she was caught stealing one day. The Inquisitor was an old friend of her father's, and willing to let the offense slide, much to her parents' relief. It just wouldn't do if they were disgraced by not one, but two unfortunate children. Having a thespian in the family was bad enough. A criminal would be the final nail in the coffin holding their family's pride.

Rae then proceeded to confess to a slew of crimes – only a few of which she was actually guilty of.

To her satisfaction – and her parents' collective horror – such a confession was too much for the Inquisitor to ignore, and Rae was promptly thrown in jail. Her parents were mortified. Then, when she finally let the reality of her situation sink in, so was Rae. She'd just confessed to a multitude of crimes. When her trial date arrived, there would be no way she'd be allowed to live. And so, Rae's own pride and bitterness had been her death sentence. At least, until J came along.

Rae was the first of the inmates to set foot on the new world.

Tobi Valade

Heterosexual

Tobi was convicted of murder and illegal biotech upgrades. He killed two people and his biotech upgrades give him enhanced conditioning. This means he's stronger, faster, more durable, has more stamina, and heals faster than the normal human being, etc.

Convicted at 16; 2 years

Tobi was forced into physical labor and construction because of his biotech upgrades that augmented his strength.

Charlie Arcadian

Tobi's parents were ship mechanics, but Tobi worked in Habitat Maintenance. His job revolved around water filtration, waste, CO2 filtration, and oxygen generation.

Tobi Valade is a quirky young man. On one side he's a bright and social young man who seeks knowledge and friendship. The other side of him is rebellious, bitter, and violent. He has a quick temper which is probably his biggest flaw. This doesn't mean he's a bad guy though, he really does try to be a good person. He's a loyal friend which leads him to be overprotective sometimes but he means well. Tobi has a dry and sometimes bitter sense of humor and uses sarcasm as a weapon. Val also has a loving and caring side that might take a lot of chipping away at to get to but once someone does it's worth it. He loves hard, but at the same time if the feelings aren't there he can play you like a flute. Overall, Tobi's a loveable asshole that's trying his best to be a good person.

Mary and Thomas Valade rose Tobi to be a free-minded, knowledge-seeking individual. They taught him everything he knows about machines. They read to him every night as a kid, they rose him to be a bright young man. They even taught him about the home world, which almost sounded like a fantasy to young Tobi. When it was revealed that his parents had tampered with an important Inquisitor trade ship that ended up causing it to crash, his parents were executed. A month after his parents' deaths, Tobi snapped and killed two Inquisitors, "out of justice" he claimed. He said, "you took my parents so I took two of your people!" In prison, Tobi's job is grueling, after working he's usually so exhausted that he passes out shortly after getting back to his cell.

Solitary Confinement

Ben's Parents are two of the major figures in the security force

Despite media and rumors about him, Benjamin Sanders is actually not a psychotic monster as he has been painted to be. No Ben is actually a very caring individual. He's also very protective of his friends and of his sisters. Now he might not be the most outgoing individual with new people, but after someone gets to know him a little things tend to develop a lot easier after that first couple of minutes, but don't mistake this as being antisocial. It's more like he wants to get to know people better before he'll trust them, and his standards could be considered a little more than the usual for people, but he means well with it. In the end he's just a really nice guy willing to do the bad things to protect others.

Born to a family of merchants Ben never actually knew. He was quickly adopted along with his younger sister by a young couple in the security force after his actual parents were murdered when he was only two. Upon taking him and his sister in each of their middle names were changed to a name within their new families culture, but they kept their last names as to not forget who they truly were. Thus while it was the only family Ben and his sister ever knew and loved, they also could represent their own true family.

Growing up Ben's adopted father taught him and his sister martial arts. He did this to help them learn discipline, self defense, and a big part of it was to bond with them. Now by this time they had another sibling, while not their blood, it was still their family and so they had and even younger sister at this point. The three of them were close and always spent time together. Now on the side Ben had really bonded with his father and asked to learn more within the cultures fighting styles, so his father taught him more including several sword stances and styles.

After his father taught him several of these things Ben began developing his own forms and practiced daily. He practiced throwing knives, his martial arts, his sword play, everything. It was almost like a sanctuary for him to hide away in. His sisters on the other hand stuck only with the martial arts and practiced a few times a week and were no where near as dedicated as Ben. Essentially Ben and his family had a simple life. the rest of the political problems in political world had no effect on them. Ben's parents were enforces, so whether they agreed with everything or not it wasnt their place to question. Overall their life was perfect in the simplest way.

Eventually when they had gotten older and Ben was sixteen, his sister went on a double date. When they came home late crying Ben was already concerned. When he found out the a couple of inquisitors kids had raped them that's when he comforted his sisters, put them to bed and then grabbed his twin knives. Over the next two weeks he had tracked down, kidnapped, tortured, and killed the ones responsible, and any sibblings they might have had. He would have killed the inquisitors too if it weren't for the fact that he was finally caught.

Since he was only sixteen they couldn't execute him just yet so they threw him in solitary confinement to let him rot away till his execution in two years. By then the Cerberus project was ready for it's first test subjects. Deciding that most likely everyone would die painful deaths the inquisitors of the kids Ben had murdered insisted that he take part in the trials, and so it was. That was until someone gave him a chance at life, and he took it.

Drug Dealer

Dee-Dee attended the school of life and so her education was widely varied.

• Chemistry
• Medicine
• Hand to Hand fighting
• Improvised Weapons
• Cooking & Preserving Food

Dee-Dee is pragmatic at her core and always tries to react according to the situation at hand. If someone is helpless she'll gladly nurse them back to health. On the other hand, she's also perfectly okay with breaking a few fingers in order to get a client to pay what they owe her. It's not that she lacks compassion for others but her entire life she has only had herself to rely on. This has led her to be fiercely independent although this also means that she doesn't work well with others and has trouble trusting strangers in any capacity.

Very few people knew Dee-Dee before her transition. Even fewer are still alive to talk about those times. The only thing that's known for sure is that Dee-Dee used to be a drug mule for a dealer and used her earnings to afford her transition. Sometime later she went in business for herself. Living as an unregistered transgendered orphan there was no real way for her to have a legitimate job so she turned to something she knew. Life as a vagrant was working out alright until word got out that a certain spoiled rich kid was having a tryst with a drug dealing vagrant. In the end Dee-Dee took all the blame and was even accused of forcing herself on the young man to save face with his famil. She wasn't particularly angry about it but it did mean that her life would change forever and she had to deal with that.

Ian Stryder

Mechanic - Ship Repair

Despite her how outer appearance and expression may seem to be, once one gets to know her, they would discover her to be rather warm and friendly. Not one to boast, her humble and down-to-earth nature was one of the earliest traits in her life nurtured by her parents. It goes without a doubt that Poppy is highly confident of both herself and her abilities, but not to an extent that would make her seem cocky or arrogant, simply just assured of her own skills and abilities. Poppy is known to be highly-focused and remarkably industrious, willing to put in the extra mile to achieve her goal or complete the tasks assigned to her.

Once she sets goals for herself, she becomes incredibly dedicated to her goals, pretty much almost to the point of stubbornness. Bold and adventurous, she is not afraid of trying out new things and activities and is always looking forward to learning new stuff, whatever that might be. A good team player who understand the necessity of teamwork and cooperation, Poppy is also an outspoken and ambitious individual who is not afraid to make her views and opinions be known to the rest of the group.

Born to Jennifer and Alexander, the Blackburns were from a long line of mechanics and repairmen. As per the family tradition, Poppy was trained from a young age on the art of mechanics and repairing stuff. While other children were playing with dolls and other forms of toys commonly associated with kids, her toys were scrap machine parts, gears and other such materials. At the age of eight, she built herself a toy dog fashioned out of scrap pieces of metal, cogwheels, springs and other recyclable junk parts she could get her hands on. She was widely praised by her parents as well as the rest of the mechanical community for her talent and ingenuity. She lived a happy and contented life although she did not have many luxuries available to her. However, one morning, she woke up to find herself alone in her home.

Her parents were missing, and their bed untouched. They had not returned the night before. Not too long after her discovery of her parent's disappearance, Inquisitors and their army of guards arrived at her home for the intention of arresting her for murder. The murder of both her parents, to be exact. It went without a doubt to say that Poppy was in an utter state of shock to do anything. The Inquisitors simply treated it as really impressive acting, and dragged the shocked girl away to jail. Poppy had no idea what had happened to her parents, and who killed them. But there was one thing she knew. She was clearly being framed for a crime that she did not commit, and there was no way out. But she had find one. She wasn't going out like this. She had to live. To avenge her parents.

Violet successfully smuggled drugs into various sectors and supplied many drug dealers for a long time. She was caught after he ex-boyfriend sold her out.

Mostly kitchen work and cleaning, but also some assistance in the prison clinic.

Avery Alexander

Both of her parents were doctors. Her mother also worked as a researcher in the medical field.

Deep down, Violet is a kindhearted, sweet girl who grew up in rough circumstances. When she was younger, she was very open and friendly but as time went on, a hard, outer shell began to grow around her. Years of emotional abuse by her father dimmed the light inside of her that once used to burn so bright and after her mother passed away, it faded to just a spark. Though she likes to pretend that she doesn't care about anything, Violet actually cares a lot. Once you get past her hard exterior, you'll find a friend that is willing to do almost anything for you. When Violet loves, she loves hard to the point that it breaks her heart when it is taken from her. In general, she's a pretty friendly person and actually does enjoy other people's company. She can be a bit naive when it comes to the people that she cares about. Violet will trust you until you've given her a reason not to and once you've done that, it takes a lot of time and effort in order to win her trust back. She's sarcastic, she's funny, she's smart, and she's ready to help others in trouble. All in all, Violet is a good person, although a bit cold to the touch.

Violet was born to Cornelius and Aurelia Blume. She grew up with a nurturing mother and an overbearing, controlling father. Though she never outright hated him when she was younger, Violet has never had a good relationship with her father. He never let her do what she want and always tried to control her. He was never above attacking her emotionally and only hit her a few times when she was "acting out." Her mother, on the other hand, was loving and cared deeply for her daughter. Aurelia tried her hardest to instill good inside Violet who she knew would most likely never be able to get completely away from her husband. Secretly, Aurelia was also a supporter of the Resistance and helped rebels hijack medical supplies and other tools she worked with as a researcher. Somehow, she was caught, most likely ratted out, and was quickly arrested. Violet's mother was then sentenced to death and executed, days after she had turned 13. She was left alone with a father she no longer feared, but nonetheless could not stand to be around.

Like her mother, Violet's father was secretly involved illegal activity. He was affiliated with a gang to which he supplied drugs, sometimes dealing them himself. At some point Violet decided to follow this same path. Instead of joining her father, she joined a different crew where she supplied several drug dealers and smuggled various drugs into different sectors. Her father never even knew of her double life until the day she was arrested.

Contempt of the law and assault and battery. He committed countless other crimes, but was only convicted of contempt. These crimes included but are not limited to black market trade, narcotic dealing, biotech upgrades, weapons manufacturing, bribing officers, theft, falsification of IDs, impersonation, forgery, kidnapping, fraud, inciting a riot, perjury, truancy, trespassing, vandalism, arson, wiretapping, even service dog fraud.

Poppy blackberry. Or maybe that wasn't her last name...

They built doors. Tall doors. Short doors. Wide doors. Narrow doors. Doors that went up. Doors that went down. Every single type of door you could imagine, they built.

Ian is generally described as comedic, egotistical, and even partly insane. His comedic nature has roots in his mental insanity. Becoming on friendly terms with him is something only he chooses and is a commitment to being constantly verbally abused by him. He is a quick thinker and impulsive person, who quickly gets bored of anything serious. Anytime a serious situation comes up he always tries to lessen the severity of the situation with jokes. He is also a flamboyant egotist, vocally exalting his own abilities, complimenting himself, and showing off. Constantly he will be found boasting of his ego and showing how he has absolutely no humility.

Ian grew up with a single mom. His father had left them when he was young though not before leaving his mark on Ian. All that he can remember of him was that he wasn't a very nice person. Bad dad. Since before he could remember his mother turned to alcohol to drown out her sadness, though whether it was before or after his father left he wasn't sure. Either way, life was tough growing up from an outside point of view. Ian himself didn't really matter. He was given all the responsibility due to his mother's inability to do anything while being constantly intoxicated. Being slightly out of his mind he really shouldn't have been given it. With no one to tell him what to do he was given complete freedom. He rarely showed up to school, and only sometimes made appearances to work.

In all his spare time, Ian started getting into an impressive list of illegal activities. He was never caught, something he was quite proud of. One day, on one of his more egotistical days, Ian walked straight into a hearing. Interrupted the entire thing. It was quite the show really. Everything stopped suddenly, the place went dead quiet. Some lady was even crying. Though that might have been because she was just convicted to death. To make a story short the guards had to pull him off the judge to stop him from trying to fit his fist in his mouth, while giving him a wet willy.

tbd

Ryker's parents are both teachers. His father teaches History, which explains why he is just so full of fun facts. His mother teaches Earth Skills.

Ryker fancies himself a fixer; sensitive to the plights of his peers and ever eager to lend a helping hand. His moral compass points due north, and although he can be slightly sanctimonious, he is never anything but sincere and well-meaning. He gives people the benefit of the doubt and second and third and fifth chances even when they don't deserve it. But there is a limit to his magnanimous nature and a big ol' berserk button that can be easily triggered.

Namely, his family and friends.

Sentimentality and Ryker go hand-in-hand. It is his emotions and convictions that drive all of his actions, and you can bet that if you show him any ounce of kindness, he will make sure to return the favor tenfold. His loyalty knows no bounds, and in him you will find an ever-stalwart confidante who has your back. So when things get hairy and tough choices have to be made, his family and friends will always be his priority. If he has to sacrifice his morality for them, then so be it.

Socially speaking, Ryker isn't the most eloquent of people, not by a lightyear. If he's not suffering from word vomit, then he's barely managing to spit a word out. Which is weird, because everything's always so perfectly clear in his head and when he writes things down. There must be some faulty wiring along the way to his mouth, because seriously, how does he end up talking about septic tanks when he's making a point about gravity anchors?

Nestled right in the middle of luxury and poverty, smack dab on the isle of contentment, Ryker has always believed what he had was enough. He may not have enjoyed the indulgence the Inquisitors' children likely had, but he was more than happy never to have wanted for anything. He has a loving family—which not a lot can say—and a small but tight-knit group of friends. Even his cousin Emerson, troublesome as she was, always had his back. She was the pesky little sister he pretends to never have wanted but was really glad to have.

Ryker saw no fault in the current regime, no cause for worry over the heavy-handedness of the Inquisitors. Their system wasn't perfect, but it's worked so far. And more importantly, they held the prosperity of humanity within highest regard. Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

There was nothing about quaint Port Hope that he would change.

But then his cousin was thrown in jail, and in his efforts to clear her name, he was forced to look at everything he had been trying not to see. His perfect Port never was; just another of his idealist delusions. In truth, the Inquisitors were tyrannical and self-serving, their laws existing only to cater to their unreasonable demands. They treated their people as expendable; they would sacrifice anything and everything in their pursuit of progress.

It was easier to accept the Inquisitor's rule when he had no reason to doubt their intentions, but there was no way he could turn a blind eye now.

Ryker felt duty-bound to take a stand, but he didn't agree with the violent ways of AEGIS, the rebellion coalition his cousin had entangled herself with. Instead, he made an effort to start a peaceful movement, in the only way he knew how. Under a pseudonym, Ryker circulated a public petition calling for transparency, for equality, for the voice of all people to be heard. He criticized the Inquisitors' amoral methods and beseeched the people of Port Hope to stand together.

His political piece gained some ground immediately, but the Inquisitors quelled it just as quickly.

Three days after publication, two soldiers greeted him at his doorstep. Before he knew it, they were dragging him away from his already brokenhearted mother, forced to see her other child thrown in jail.

Her parents are researchers, probably. They always have those lab coats on. Also, they're full-time Inquisitor suck-ups.

Spatial and visual acuity. Emerson has keen eyesight and can process, generate, and retain well-structured visual cues easily. Most of what she can do derives from her unusually high visual-spatial intelligence, like:

• Great sense of direction. Emerson doesn't get lost; she'll never forget a place after visiting it once.
• Accurate measurements. She can accurately measure distances and lengths without needing to rely on instruments.
• Drawing. Emerson thinks in pictures and expresses better in pictures as well. She's pretty sure she can illustrate what she's feeling better than she can explain it.
• Precision. She may or may not have practiced with the weapons she steals, but she'll have you know, she's a very good shot.

A little firecracker with a rebellious streak and a deep-seated hatred for the Inquisitors. Emerson stirs up trouble for fun and attention and because she can get away with it. Flippant is her default state and playful is her backup. Everything's a game to her. Running away from five armed guards? Nope, it's just a challenging game of tag. Sneaking in and out of an armory with a bagful of weapons? Hide and seek. After going through some existential depression crap (and only at age ten; she's such an early bloomer), Emerson sort of noped out of taking anything seriously. The way she sees it, fate's been screwing with her all her life. Might as well get in on the fun.

But watch out: she'll fool you into thinking she doesn't care when she really does. A bit too much. Emerson hides behind snark and sass and defiant grins because underneath is a bleeding heart that's easy to sway. There's a reason for the tall walls of frivolity she built around herself—they help keep people away so she doesn't get attached. Because if she does, she will die for you or kill for you, and she's not sure she wants to find out which one she'll end up doing.

Emerson's got a thing for protecting the underdog, a short temper, and a tendency to disregard limits; all the makings of a trouble magnet with a death wish. Nothing fazes her, so she thinks that means she can do anything. It works out best for everyone if she has an anchor by her side—someone to pull her down when she's ready to fly to the sun.

Emerson's got a mother and a father, but they were too busy doing the Inquisitors' bidding to do much parenting. So instead, they left her under the care of her aunt and Emerson has been living with them ever since. The only times she ever saw her parents were on the first of every month, during which they took her to a facility and did a bunch of weird diagnostic crap on her. They would ask her questions a therapist might, perform health checkups, and "put her abilities to the test." She was instructed never to tell a soul about what transpired between, and she never did. No one would believe her anyway.

Back when she didn't know any better, she was excited for the beginning of each month. Emerson never questioned her parents' actions. All that mattered was that she got to spend time with them. She loved her aunt and uncle more than the galaxy, but they were Ryker's parents and she didn't want to steal them from him. What she wanted was for her own parents to love her back, so she did her best to please them. If acing their weird tests made them proud, then she was going to kick ass on them.

But then she turned ten and she knew better.

The day before her monthly meeting with her parents, Emerson was kidnapped (or "scouted," as they called it) by two members of AEGIS—then a small, wannabe syndicate made up of criminals and outcasts tired of the Inquisitors' rule and looking to revolt. They explained to her what her parents were doing, why they were doing it, and who they were doing it for: Inquisitors, Inquisitors, Inquisitors.

Turned out her parents were Eugenics test subjects, chosen by the Inquisitors as the most genetically compatible man and woman with high visual-spatial intelligence. The hypothesis was that their child should be born with advanced visual and spatial acuity, matching or surpassing their own. They would have to test the child to be sure; track its progress and hone its abilities so that in the future, it may serve the Inquisitors.

So basically, they were saying she was engineered to be a tool for the Inquisitors.

AEGIS left her with a choice before sending her back, one that would change everything for her. They could leave her alone, pretend none of this happened, and she can continue being an experiment; or, she can keep quiet abd help them take down the Inquisitors.

Emerson spent nearly a year mulling over her decision, but the more first of the months that came by, the more she became disenchanted with her parents. By the end of the year, she was tired of thinking. Tired of worrying. Tired of hurting. She chose the lesser of two evils—the scumbags over her parents—and spent the next five years of her life with AEGIS, gladly causing trouble for the Inquisitors at every turn.

Her parents caught onto her shenanigans when she failed to attend their monthly diagnostics for the first time. Emerson was never caught red-handed, mind you, but her parents could easily piece two and two together. Firearms stolen from hidden armories no one should have been able to find, the small culprit managing to outmaneuver guards who know the sectors by heart, known traitors looting Inquisitor compounds too efficiently, as though they knew every inch of the domain.

They turned Emerson in as soon as they found out.

Kaleb Angelov Brody

Most would call him Kal, with a teasing Kali thrown in when he gets moody. Some would call him Colors, knowing him to be responsible for many works of graffiti scrawled across the station.

Solitary

Station Technician, overseeing the machines' functions, replacements, repairs, and other mechanical related duties.

A happy child is a safe child. He'd heard his mom say that to his dad once, and ever since he'd been hiding behind smiles and laughter. He indulges himself, indulges others, because to be happy is to be safe, and it's not like being happy is a bad thing- in fact, it's fully worth every risk imaginable. Except for when it's not, then he runs. In the days leading up to his arrest he learned a lot about himself; he's a coward, most of the time, and he wont face true danger if running is an option; he's lonely, too selfish and flighty for anyone to seriously consider him a friend; and he's a dreamer, always imagining bigger, better, and grander things. Kaleb was too depressed by his flaws to notice his good traits; he was caring, even is he didn't show it he cared about everything and everyone, friends, strangers, enemies, plants, pets, worlds he would never see; he was dependable, doing whatever needed to be done, carrying more than his fair share on his shoulders without a thought; and he was intelligent, learning more, seeing more, and thinking more than his peers. It was the not being able to see the good in himself, seeing only what he thought was the bad, that gave him the courage to fight back, ultimately leading to his arrest.

Kaleb's parents worked as Station Technicians; his mother worked as a repair agent, and his father was a systems planner. They had two children together, Kaleb (16) and Maisie (7). When his father came under scrutiny by the higher ups for suspected sabotage of the systems around an Inquistor's quarters that led to their death, his mother admitted to the crime to save him. They were unable to do anything to save her then and never learned if it was true or not. After that his home life became more despairing and he spent more and more time away, eventually moving out altogether. He lived with a group of guys who called themselves the Expressionists, a small group of nobodies with nothing going for them except their talents. With their influence Kal committed a number of crimes; he took to graffiti, painting the walls of public areas with witty strikes against the Inquisitors and other oppressive, corrupt, or hated persons; Kal explored his sexuality, finding himself to have an illegal taste in the same sex; he stole money, equipment, papers, anything valuable or useful; he took to doing drugs, many of which were addictive; he learned to sabotage machines, things as simple as doors or as complex as cameras; and he stole and implemented biotech upgrades called 'telemicroscopic implants' which allowed him enhanced eyesight so that he could see in greater detail at farther range.

In the weeks leading up to his arrest his life was turned inside out and ripped to pieces. The Expressionists had achieved some minimal fame by shutting down a whole section of the station with false alarms and using the empty space to break into an Inquisitor's room, steal from them, and leave a huge graffiti mosaic on the walls depicting a scaled pig with hundreds of teeth being stabbed in the heart with a wooden stake. The fame they gathered led to their undoing, the place they used as a hideout and home was discovered and a number of their members were arrested and executed. Kal escaped, but he was unable to contact with any other escapees. With no place to go he went home, to his family, only to discover they were gone and didn't live there anymore. Some digging revealed his father was dead for unknown reasons and his sister was adopted by an upperclass woman on the other side of the station. With nowhere to run and his emotions drowning him, Kaleb became depressed and desperate. When he found his picture, along with two other of the Expressionists, as part of a wanted poster he knew they'd been betrayed from the inside, which only furthered his turmoil. Soon after he broke into a restricted area of the ship that belonged to the Inquisitors and attempted to raid the place. He stole papers with sensitive information he intended to sell, he sabotaged and wiped important looking computers, and then started on the same mosaic as before. It was a mission of self-destruction, he knew he'd be caught, but he also knew he had to get revenge anyway, that he had to do something and face his fears. Needless to say he was caught and arrested, they charged him for stealing their datapads and papers, destroying and scanning their computers, his hostile and insulting graffiti, the drugs they found in his system, and the biotech discovered in his eyes.

With a number of enemies in high places, Kaleb found himself sentenced to solitary confinement. He hated it, preferring the company of people and the ability to work to doing nothing and talking to no one. He began talking to himself to break the silence, and for a while he wondered if he was going mad, but eventually stopped worrying. He knew he was going to die, but at least he was clean and had a steady supply of food and water in prison, it was better than starving to death in some dark dirty corner of the station.

Everett's parents had a job but he never knew what it was.

Everett doesn't trust anyone. Deep down he's terrified to do so. He's an honest guy, one that if he says he's gonna kill you, he's gonna kill you, or die trying. He's not one for loud people or people who talk too much. Everett himself isn't much of a talker. The odd conversation or two sure, meaningless conversation he can do without.

Despite what seems to be a total lonewolf like personality, Everett can actually be pretty pleasant and easy to get along with. In certain company, he's known for both light hearted jokes and scathing sass.

Being on his good side can pay off in a huge way, and the same could be said opposite direction. He'll go out of his way to help someone he feels is worth it. At the same time that wrong side could be a dangerous place to be. The last guy who got on that wrong side, that didn't go so well.

Everett was involved in one of the more famous trials in recent histories. Everett murdered a man, chopped him up and forced his family to eat his remains. At no point during his trial did Everett show almost no remorse, he was upset that he missed out on some sleep. He always thought it was odd that not one person ever asked him why.

As a young child, his parents never really paid him any mind. When one or the had a bad day and got drunk or high, they never missed a chance to beat on him. Trust was something that got beat out of at a young age.

He's a fiend for Banana pudding.
