Human, w/ sentient alien symbiote


None


Reticent, cautious and otherwise timid. Iskra has a personality of what one could only call a scaredy cat, though with that she does have a bit of an edge when it comes to being cautious around people and places. While she is timid and reclusive, she can open up once there’s a basis of trust to go with. Albeit even this process can be slow due to recent events. Her amnesia makes her somewhat forgetful about things, but shouldn't provide too much trouble. Ever since the symbiote attached itself to her however, she's been having moments every now and then where she feels less in control and more succumbed to primal and more instinctive behaviour. Initially she comes across as more feral than human in her cat/beast-like look and movement. Given as to how she has almost forgotten the mannerisms of humans.


Iskra grew up within a mediocrely decent area planetside within human territory, though even the name of the planet escapes her memory as she barely knows anything of her past. The details behind the reasons of her sudden appearance on Faren V are as big of an enigma to everyone else as it is to her. The few faint and vague things she can recall are that of some family, troubling times, and a need to escape ‘something’. Eventually she somehow managed to escape, albeit critically wounded and a growing hunger. She was a walking corpse, wandering aimlessly through musty forests for a fleeting moment before she finally succumbed to her injuries, and chronic fatigue, collapsing headfirst onto the soft soil of a foreign land.

Yet with a small stroke of luck, she ends up living barely due to an alien life form attaching itself to her and forming some kind of symbiotic bond. A situation of what seemed like a typical "give and take". A chance for the being to evolve and explore rather than possibly wasting away, in exchange for keeping Iskra alive and breathing. The alien appeared to be unable to heal her wounds though, and she had little idea if it could, or could not. She was grateful at least, but also somewhat afraid. While it doesn't seem to be able to do anything else at first glance either, it's known to be evolution based thanks to the fact that it seems to eat... or rather engulf biomass at an alarming rate among other various things if need be. One explanation for the metallic looking suit could be attributed to it consuming a discarded piece of steel, morphing a similar appearance and it's durability along with it.


The only “weapon” she has at this point are the claws that have grown themselves on her fingertips thanks to the symbiote. Forcing a close-quarters fighting style, which is a risk already in and of itself due to her already frail state.


None, unless the symbiote is counted as one.

67 years of age


A reprogrammed A.I. within the skeleton of a structural engineer probe, powered by a long lasting Ion Battery.


The hardware was originally used for entering areas and determining what was safe for entry for humans and what wasn't. Example, a collapsed building, potentially unstable caves, old structures that haven't seen use in years. After that the machine would then decide the best course of action to take to make the area stable or collapse it in the safest possible manner.

The software is a reprogrammed A.I. that was designed for a similar function but with the idea for mining instead of entering dangerous areas, and with the idea of computer analyzing in mind.



Asap is an A.I. who even though was not intended to become self aware has done so through several re-programmings and updates. Some from itself, and others from people who have attempted to re-purpose it. Its ability to be self aware is limited by its base programming but otherwise it is able to do things by its choice and think how it pleases.

Overall Asap is a logical thinker like most computers, though in the process of becoming self aware has started leaning to an area that could be seen as sarcastic, or as an overall smart ass. He will correct people on misinformation if it is available to him to do so, and he tends to lack a filter when speaking. His protocol makes it so he is to protect intelligent life forms at even the cost of his own life, so he will attempt to stay on good terms with those he comes across, despite feeling the need to point out where people tend to make mistakes.



The Model B-23 Automated Structural analysis Probe was produced by a human company known as Hemworth Robotics during the war with Humans and Qari. The idea behind it would be it would head into areas that have seen heavy damage in the fighting and help determine a safe way through it, or how to repair it. In many cases the probes as was the technical classification would be sent in to a warzone to see what the front line soldiers were to expect. Asap in his case with his first A.I. was blasted to pieces from a friendly mine and wasn't recovered until after the war.

After the war he was re-purposed as a structural engineer with a small private construction company. During this time he was reprogrammed to fit non wartime needs and to assist with raw construction instead of just checking stability of an already built building. He was also at this time outfitted with a program that could preform non-destructive testing of objects that were built to help figure out the limits of construction sites, equipment, and soon to be built buildings. This was all short lived as the company soon went out of business and Asap was shut down and sold for scraps.

Despite being sold for scraps Asap was left in the scrap yards rusting until potential buyers were able to come and repair him. This took over 30 years. By the time he was recovered he had been sold to what he would later learn to be pirates. He was reprogrammed again but this time it was sloppy. A large portion of the old coding was left from both of the previous A.I.s and the memory was not wiped. Because of this Asap was able to start attempting to reprogram himself to better suit his needs. Soon becoming a partially self aware computer.

Asap was only a pirate for a short time. For the most part he was programmed to find weak points in buildings and the hull's of ships but overall he was just for show. A six and a half foot robot with a rifle is intimidating to a lot of people. With some poorly welded armor on places he seemed a lot more intimidating then he was actually was. The armor was not very useful though, at best it may stop light rounds, if they hit the padded armor. But getting shot wouldn't really work out well. The crew he was programmed to be apart of found themselves in a system attempting to collect scrap from some abandoned mining colonies. Unfourtunately for the crew the ship did not survive entry and crash landed on the surface. The only survivor being Asap.

The year now is 2335, Asap is the technical soul survivor of his crew. Due to limited power and resources he as put himself in a standby mode to safe power. Only activating once every few months to see if anything has changed. Never leaving the sight of the crashed ship that now lays in more pieces then Asap thought could be possible.

Primary weapon:


Main tool:
A blow torch like Lazer. Decent at cutting through wires, metal, rock, or fingers if you do it wrong.


At this moment non applicable. He is the only current survivor from his wreck.


Basic rules of operation:
1: Harm to sentient life is to be kept as limited as possible, and should only be done if the being is deemed too hostile to be around others.
2: Any harm can only be done to another being if it is done so in defense of one's self, or of other sentient beings.
3: Assistance to human beings is mandatory and can not be overridden unless it will cause direct harm to other human beings. Options beyond that will depend on sub decision processes.
4: In event of a hostile capture all Hemsworth computers are to [File corrupted]
5: [File corrupted]
6: Outside tampering is not permitted unless done so by a qualified Hemsworth Employee.

Due to Asap attempting to become self aware, he has spent a lot of time trying to find loopholes to the programming. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Being reprogrammed a few times has helped, and being reprogrammed poorly has also helped at times.
