Here are the two WIP sheets for both of my characters. I should hopefully get them both finished tomorrow after I sort out any potential relations.

Robin Pheonix [+]

R O B I N P H E O N I X

Colonial Marshal
34

---

---

Sex
Male

Occupation
From the Colonial Marshal Bureau, and therefore not employed by Weyland-Yutani itself, Robin is the sole Colonial Marshal stationed on Hestia Prime. The growing number of colonies has led to a shortage of available colonial marshals to send and enforce Sol law, which has in turn reduced the authority of most stationed marshals. As a result most security functions on Hestia Prime are carried out by Weyland-Yutani's own private security force, and he will more often find himself acting as a mediator between opposing parties, usually Weyland-Yutani and the accused individual, as opposed to carrying out the enforcement of colonial law himself.

Appearance
At an average height of roughly 5'8 or '9, Robin is certainly not the tallest in his profession. Nor is he the bulkiest, instead having a more lean and toned build instead of pure muscle. With hair of a chocolate brown and a somewhat patchy, though by no means unkempt, beard to match, it is clear that his appearance is of importance to him and he likely takes the time to style and groom his look. While on duty, he wears the standard uniform of the colonial marshals, though he rarely wears the cap.

When not on duty, Robin adopts a more casual look with comfortable clothing in neutral grey, navy and otherwise muted tones.

Strengths

Colonial Marshal Training

Receiving his training from the Colonial Marshal Bureau, Robin is proficient in the use of firearms, though it is unlikely that he is the best shot on the colony. (As a general rule, Weyland-Yutani private security forces tend to receive better training than those in the Colonial Marshal Bureau) Whilst most of his training was in the use of the bureau standard Spearhead Armory .357 Revolver, he has also been trained in the use of pump action weaponry. In the emergency bureau armory, there is one Henjin-Garcia Armorment Co. Pump Action Model 38-3 (a slightly updated version of the previous Model 37-12). Also covered under his training came crisis management, emergency medical aid, leadership skills and specific Sol Law training, with his knowledge of the law being the most relevant area of his training often used on a day-to-day basis.

Colonial Knowledge

With the patrolling of Hestia Prime being a core part of his role on the colony, Robin knows the colony better than most. More than this, he has emergency access to near every public area of the colony. Whilst, officially, he should indeed also have access to the Weyland-Yutani private facilities, it would come as no surprise to find his override codes denied, should the interests of the company be harmed by his presence.

Weaknesses

Lack of experience

Relatively young, Robin has yet to put his more specialized areas of training to use. Crisis management, for example, has never been a situation that he has had to deal with. Indeed, rarely does his job require him to act beyond handling a particularly aggressive drunkard, or respond to a burglary. These years spent idly have allowed him to grow complacent, and should such situations arise that require him to take control and enact the proper procedures, his ability to do so after so many years without training is more than questionable.

Personality

_{SOCIABLE · HONEST · CYNICAL}

Honest to a fault, Robin wears his heart on his sleeve and is never one to conceal his thoughts or opinions on a matter. He places a great deal of importance on the quality of honesty in others, too, distrusting and disliking those who prove to be liars, connivers or those who deal in an otherwise underhand manner. To that end, Robin tends to have a slight distrust for those around him until proven otherwise, with this natural suspicion having developed after several years of being the sole Colonial Marshal present on Hestia Prime. He has learned, if nothing else, that some people will go to no end to conceal the truth.

Robin is often spotted around the White Star Casino, taking great pleasure in frequenting the new establishment. An indicator of his love for alcohol and entertainment while off duty, he is by no means an addict or alcoholic, but is willing to admit he indulges perhaps slightly more than he should. He enjoys the company of others, and would always prefer being around good company as opposed to being alone.

Driven by a belief in Sol Law (the motto of the Colonial Marshals being, 'The laws of Earth stretch beyond the Sol') and its enforcement, Robin holds the idea that he is fighting the good fight close to his heart. To this end, the lives of others come before his own, regardless of the situation and who's life is on the line. He takes a somewhat idealistic approach to his career, understanding that as a Colonial Marshal it is his duty to protect others under his oath and is by no means a coward, willing to put his life on the line for the protection of others.

Backstory

Alden Sterling [+]

A L D E N S T E R L I N G

Financial Director
39

---

---

Sex
Male

Occupation
Working for Weyland-Yutani as a Colonial Financial Director, he focuses on the generation of wealth on the colony. Therefore, he's often invovled with the growing business sector, and most recently, the newly-opened White Star Casino and the ongoing work to complete the golf course. Ultimately, his primary focus is to ensure that Weyland-Yutani is generating a comfortable profit from the colony they have worked so tirelessly to set up.

Appearance
Often sporting finely tailored suits and expensive accessories, Alden takes great pride in his perceived status on the colony. He trims his hair neatly, and has an equally well-groomed beard. He has a generally average build, being neither slim nor muscular, which would make sense considering he does not bother to go out of his way for exercise. Instead, his time is spent studying spreadsheets and gathering information. He is roughly 6'1, give or take.

His appearance both on and off duty is essentially the same. Well-tailored clothes, with a smart business look about him at all times. Occasionally, when off-duty, he may adopt a more smart casual look where he ditches the ties, and rolls up the sleeves of his shirt. Beyond this, he does not get much more casual.

Strengths

Mathematician

Capable of processing a great deal of information at one time, Alden has a remarkable mind for mathematics, when it concerns economics at any rate, and this is indicative of his ability to quickly process information in his mind.

Memory

Also a requirement for most in his profession, Alden is able to absorb what he sees and hears quickly, and also memorize the information at the same time. This has proven particularly useful when discussing business operations with colonists, allowing him to take less notes, and focus more on the business at hand.

Weaknesses

Physically Weak

Having never been one for sports, or any sort of physical fighting, Alden is as hopeless in a fight as one can get. Preferring to flee conflict or deescalate the conflict through conversation, something he is particularly good at, Alden has never even found himself in a proper fight. When confronted with a dangerous situation, his immediate reaction is to get away, with an emphasis on his own well-being as opposed to the well-being of those around him.

Backstory

Hey guys, don't worry I'm still involved, I'll reply to some of your PMs soon.

@FreeRangedThe characters were just total idiots, so many stupid decisions, for a crew of handpicked, talented people they had no protocols for anything. They all just seem like such dumbasses, it's infuriating to think about.

Man, I saw Covenant recently, so I am hyped! I'm thinking a veterinarian or regular doctor who doesn't work at the research facility, and is just as unprepared as anyone else.

<Snipped quote by Heat>

I mean, most of this also holds true for pretty much all of the Nostromo's crew. Same for the Marine unit in Aliens. But that's the only reason ANY horror movie works. Having recently watched Covenant, and then rewatched the first two movies, I can safely say that there wasn't much difference in the responses from the crew. Not to mention that, barring one of the crew who was intended to be an ex-Colonial Marine, most of the crew were former civilians with basic Weyland Corp. security training, and were part of a Weyland colonization mission, never intended to see anything resembling a combat scenario, and only had guns in the event of hostile actions between colonists, they can't really be blamed for poor handling of the situation.
