Name: Harriet Matthias

Age/Race/Gender: 24 / Hemiplantae (literally translates to Half-Plant) / Female

Appearance: 162cm tall and weighing 72kg. Her hair and skin are made up of soft leaves that cover her body. She actually has a mix of endo/exo skeletal structure with tough fibers woven together just under her skin as well as her "bones" being wound and formed the same way. Acting like an evergreen she does not yellow during a planet's fall or winter cycle. Most of the time she has a refreshing and slightly sweet smelling scent which can improve the mood, especially when stuck on a ship where greenery is usually sparse and mostly aesthetic.

Occupation: Medical Biologist

Weapons:

Armor:

Items: Medical kit

Skills: Being a medical biologist she has a broad knowledge of species and how they work. She is particularly good at genetic engineering, however now a days it doesn't play as much a part in her life.

Aside from that though she also has more traditional medical training that she more often gets to apply.

Powers:
Other: While medical personnel might not initially sound like a dangerous sort the crimes can be more subtle. Illegal testing and practice can be very lucrative if you find the right buyer. It helps if you aren't afraid to break a few eggs in the process. Being just that way Harriet can operate on the fringe of medical science where the Hippocratic oath is left at the door.

Her species is undocumented. The data either not compiled or purposely hidden.

Alessio Carver - The Captain - Petty criminal, turned reluctant soldier, turned vengeance-driven merc. A smooth operator, through and through. Outwardly, he projects the image of a very friendly guy, always cracking jokes and having a good time, but don't mistake him for a fool, he always has his eyes on the prize, no matter the cost.

Bio: His Earth-born parents met on a Terraforming Materials Freighter, the same vessel that Alessio would later be born on. Orphaned after the TMF was destroyed in a freak accident and accidentally abandoned on Orion Station in the Deadzone. He was taken in and raised by a crew of thieves and smugglers, got pretty good at it over the years too. Skip ahead a little bit to right around the time the Corvais War was heating up 5 years ago. Alessio was arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and took a deal to avoid prison- by joining the Alliance. The rest is history. Currently 37 years old.

Appearance: Tanned complexion betrays his Italian/Mediterrian roots. Aside from that, visually I see him as similar to Jesse Custer as played by Dominic Cooper in the tv series Preacher.

Armor: https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/10066/1459424-carter_right.jpg
Weapons: XVC-75 Assault Rifle (ballistic) BCP-U12 semi-automatic pistol w/ miniaturized grenade launcher attachment.
----

Kira Dano-Carver - The XO - Carver's wife and former squadmate, AKA, the one who's really in charge. Her stern face and calculated, to-the-point mind leaves the impression that she is a cold bitch who's not to be fucked with. And you'd be partially right, people who try to fuck with her don't generally get out alive, but her cold exterior hides a big heart, she has nothing but love for her family and the crew they've built.

Bio: Not much to really say, the Dano siblings had a poor upbringing. They were Earth-bound from the day they were born to the day they finally escaped the cycle of hate and abuse and joined the Alliance. Her and Alessio first hooked up during a particularly stressful night behind enemy lines. It was only physical until suddenly, it wasn't. They married a couple of months after the war, mere days before the Maelstrom''s maiden voyage. Currently 34 years old.

Appearance: Her short stature and youthful face hides her aggressive and abrasive personality. Approximately 5'3, long black hair. Looks similar to UFC fighter Michelle Waterson.

Armor: https://i.imgur.com/YXBsLuB.png
Weapons: CazTec Splitter SMG/pistol combo. Cybernetics in right wrist/hand.
---

Marcus Dano - The Unhinged One - Kira's brother and another of Carver's former squadmates. The ship's resident combat expert. For him, the war never ended. It left a lasting impression on him, a kind of twisted version of PTSD, where occasionally, he just flies off the handle and goes completely insane. Most of the time though, he's very calm and collected. He's here for 2 things- his family, and the cold-hard cash.

Bio: See Kira's bio for the background. Marcus was born to be a soldier, fully committed to the service from the moment he fired his first gun. He was the sole survivor of an ambush that would later be known as the Massacre on Noble's Hill. His feelings of survivors gult mixed with the insane satisfaction of carrying out a massacre of his own in the name of vengeance for the fallen created this perpetually-broken soul. Currently 36 years old.

Appearance: seeing as he sort of fills the 'Jayne' role of this crew, I see no reason why he shouldn't resemble the man himself (from Firefly).

Armor: http://techgeek.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/NobleSix_run-01.jpg
Weapons: XVCT-8 assault rifle with Modular Fire Control. Custom Automatic pistol using 12-point seeker rounds
-----

Robert Vulcaan - The Quartermaster - An old-school weaponsmith and black market dealer from the Deadzone. Somewhat of a mentor, or father-figure to Carver. No-nonsense, brusque, and ruthless. Definitely not a guy you'd want to have a heart-to-heart with, given that he'd probably try to jam a bullet down your throat just to get you to shut up.

Bio: Served aboard a transport freighter for almost 10 years. Got involved with a cabal of smugglers who had conned their way onto the crew, and shortly after, set up shop on Orion Station, using his new connections on the black market to establish a very successful business. 58 years old.

Appearance: http://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/American-Gods-Vulcan-2-06042017-615x410.jpg

Armor: https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/10066/1459454-jorge_right4.jpg
Weapons: Heavy Chaingun bonded to his suit. Low-grade ordinance grenade launcher outfitted to the underbarrel.
-------

Juliette & Jennifer Thane - The Engineers - Attractive young geniuses who threw away successful lives within the confines of 'civilization' to avenge their father. The youngest on the crew by quite a bit, the twins are very competitive and goal-driven. They're also particularly intelligent, with near-genius level intellect.

Bio: Major Theo Thane was a well-respected and accomplished field commander for the Alliance. One of the best. He was part of the assault force during the Corvais War. He survived the 2nd Battle of Corvais before finding himself in charge of an assault force headed for Maelstrom, the final battleground of the conflict. He died a hero and was given the memorial service he deserved. It was at this service where his twin daughters met some of the men and women Major Thane died fighting for, in particular Carver, Kira and Marcus. Shortly after, the Thane sisters left their lives behind to chase the stars.

Appearance: Physically identical at a glance. 5'6, lean build, shoulder-length Blonde hair, and green eyes. Some subtleties set the two apart such as: Juliette has a generally more tanned complexion from her up-close and personal style mechanical work in the nitty-gritty of the engine while Jennifer does more work on the electrical and digital levels of the ship, and thus doesn't sport as many battle scars.

Armor: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fa/1f/28/fa1f28c57ebf445faea037aea4d1ec29.jpg
Weapons: None owned personally, but both have been trained for most forms of light arms by Carver, Kira, and Marcus.
-----

Seth Firren - The Cartographer - A drifter who came aboard about a year ago. Though initially saying he was only catching a ride to another system, he's found himself quite at home among the crew. His years of wandering aimlessly has led to an overdeveloped sense of direction, which makes him an excellent navigator. Very withdrawn and mysterious. Despite a quiet voice, he has a particularly talented way of telling stories that make the audience hang on every word. Rarely opens up about specific details of his past.

Bio: Born to a well-off military family in the Republic. His father was a diplomat from Tarrovan, his mother, an aide to Earth's ambassador. From a young age, he took an interest in the stars and what lied beyond the world he knew. He was sheltered all through his life, 'destined for greatness' as his parents said. He couldn't possibly have survived living the life his parents had arranged, and so, at 19, he hopped aboard the first ship that would take him to get lost among the stars.

Appearance: Looks almost perfectly human, despite his alien heritage. Tarrovanians are exceeding similar to humans in terms of physical appearance and genetic makeup, the only distinct characteristics being pale-skin, Irises that shift color regularly, and small horns that are easily concealed by long shaggy hair. Tarrovanians are naturally psionic as well. Seth is 27 (in Earth years), about 5'10. Has long shaggy brown hair and the makings of a full beard that hasn't been given time to properly grow yet

Armor: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/04/8f/34/048f34b78ae959727dd2040022cb000a--sci-fi-armor-character-reference.jpg
Weapons: Semi-Auto Laser Pistol
-----

Ian Gudbranssen - The Surgeon - A jovial sort and consummate professional. Knows his way around a pistol just as well as a scalpel. A jolly, upbeat guy. Late 30s/Early 40s, though his mannerisms would make one think of a Santa Claus-like grandfather. He has a fondness for the bottle, but never to the point of it being a problem/affecting his work.

Bio: Ian hails from a frontier colony called Hallarson. He took an interest in the medical sciences at a young age, and worked his way into a Republic-sponsored Med school. After some time spent on the circuit of big interplanetary hospitals and a failed bid to take over the clinic home on Hallarson, Ian decided to move into the Deadzone to set up his own clinic. He was hired by Carver on recommendation from Vulcaan, who had availed of his services in the past.

Appearance: 39 years old. Brown hair and beard with streaks of gray. Slightly overweight.

Armor: http://eat3d.com/files/forum_images/drawover-medic_back_009.jpg
Weapons: PDV-4 Shotgun. Plasma Pistol. Mobile MedKit
----

Q-23 - Ship's AI. Since he was programmed to be a very standard AI, he doesn't have much in the way of personality. A monotone, logic-driven voice with just a hint of friendliness and admiration for the crew, almost like it's trying to be human while knowing it never will be.

Bio: Programmed by the Alliance and installed aboard the vessel that would eventually become known as the Maelstrom.

Appearance: A hologram sphere with rings rotating around it. Pale blue with a white spot that acts as a visual representation of an eye.
-----
Some additional notes: 1. The Maelstrom look and has an identical layout to Mass Effect Andromeda's main ship, the Tempest (I was lacking inspiration for a blueprint, figured I'd grab the first small-ish ship design I could think of)
2. The crew has been together a little more than 4 years. Carver first linked up with Kira and Marcus during the Corvais War on a planet called Maelstrom, most of their respective platoons had been wiped out and the survivors were pretty much left for dead. They teamed up for survival and grew close enough to want to stick together. Over the remainder of the war, they lost more friends and comrades than they could count, and their bitterness over the armistice agreement is what led to the creation of their merc crew.
3. The Maelstrom is a stealth speeder that was "acquired" from an Alliance military complex by a pair of now-deceased crew members. It was refitted with a basic combat kit by Vulcaan's contacts in the Deadzone.
4. Though mainly viewed as a good-natured and upstanding (though technically criminal) organization, the Maelstrom's crew have been branded as terrorists for certain actions carried out in the past, generally within Federation space, and that branding is upheld by the Republic Council, and merely tolerated by the Alliance.

Name: Harrison Black
Age/Race/Gender: 27, Human, Male
Appearance:

Occupation: Ruins Explorer
Weapons: Splitter Rifle (fast firing energy), Electric Spear (melee energy)
Armor: Shield-weaver armor (powered, recharges over time)
Items: Focus, deployable drone
Skills: Great cave explorer, great cook and can make something good out of almost anything, fights well with any stick-shaped object
Powers: Access to a hyperspace inventory interfaced with the Focus (sci-fi bag of holding)
Other: Bunks in Room 2

Name: Harrison Black
Age/Race/Gender: 27, Human, Male
Appearance:

Occupation: Ruins Explorer. Harrison had always wanted to explore since a young age, always wandering off away from school groups and such. One day, he ran around in the forest and found a cave. His curiosity driving him, he entered it. Going deeper and deeper, Harrison noticed the walls were turning from stone to metal. It was during this dive he found his Focus. Since then, he has explored countless ruins, one of them containing his fab-pack.
Weapons: Splitter Rifle. The Splitter Rifle is a medium capacity automatic energy rifle. It’s special in that it can either fire in one direction or three (at the cost of increased ammo consumption).
Electric Spear. Harrison’s
Armor: Shield-weaver armor. The shield-weaver armor is a prototype shielding suit that regenerates after several seconds. Should the shield deplete fully, the shield takes much longer to regenerate. The down-side is there’s almost no armor so Harrison is extremely vulnerable if the shield drops.
Items: Harrison’s greatest tool is his Focus, an ancient technology he found in ruins. It interfaces directly with his brain to be given a HUD. He also has a black-hole bag, a fabricator scavenged from the same ancient race. It takes all raw and processed materials placed inside to be reconstructed and used to make a variety of helpful items, namely ammunition and power cells. Lastly, Harrison has a deployable drone that can dock on his arm and projects the feed to the Focus. Recently, Harrison created a prototype jump kit, a small jetpack harnessed to the waist, while collaborating with Benny, Koren, and Matija
Skills: Great cave explorer, great cook and can make something good out of almost anything, fights well with any stick-shaped object
Powers: Harrison has no true powers, being an unaugmented human. However, fully armed, he is a credible threat
Other: Bunks in Room 2

Name: Koren Syr Ai Elanus

Alias: “Phantom”

Age/Race/Gender: 27/ Juz’/ Male

---

Appearance:


Occupation: Ship Engineer, Cartographer, Recon Specialist

Weapons:
Chorus Power Gauntlet: _{(Image is of Human Variant)}
A power gauntlet/fist that can also function as as a container for small objects. The gauntlet can increase a punch’s PSI up to 57%. Not a usual weapon for use considering people’s common preferences for guns and other ranged weapons that does not require their user to be within poking distance of their enemy’s knives. This weapon is commonly sold to people who like to let their fists do the talking for them.

Modified Haeger Power Armor Greaves and Boots:
The Haeger power armor’s greaves and boots but personally modified to boost a kick’s PSI up to 38%. Sometimes doesn’t work but the sheer weight definitely adds more kick to a… kick.

Armor:
Modified Haeger Power Armor (Juz’ Variant):
_{(Image is of Human Variant)}
Armor meant to be a multi-purpose suit that can help its user survive just about any common-place environment and then some. It is a suit preferred by wanderers and spacers due to its durability and easy maneuverability though not as widely used because of its relatively limited availability. The armor itself has been modified with added plating for defense, as well as an ability to allow the user to interface their holo through the suit. Another added modification is its capability to provide input and output from the Chorus power gauntlets.

---

Items:

• Lil Spacer Multi-tool:
  _[Original]
  Though arguably more of a weapon, the Lil’ Spacer was originally a survival tool that can be useful in almost any environment in any given situation. It’s already functional and sold to the public but due to the independent nature of the creator’s “company”, it has yet to be sold past his colony’s sector.
  
  Item Image [+]

  
• Hephaestus 9000:
  A quote from its advertisement poster:
  
  “A portable arc welder that can be carried around everywhere. Makes repairs, welding, and dismantling easy on the go! Its heavy duty lenses can provide the any laser size and temperature depending on your need.”
  “_{*Holo interface needed to adjust settings}”
  
  
  Item Image [+]

  
• Haajad multi-tool bracelet:
  The Juz’ usually wears it around his wrist on casual settings so he can fix on the fly without needing his tool chest.
  
  Item Image [+]

  
• A large tool chest:
  Has wheels for mobility.
  
  Item Image [+]

  
• Unaysah’s carrier case:
  It is an armored backpack turned carrier case that has been modified to have the ability to connect and stay connected to Koren’s air tank so he could have her around on the go. Its power source is independent from the Haeger Armor’s energy cells and can be recharged through a power port or can also be left to charge over time, though it will take longer. The carrier has been fitted with a small energy shield and kinetic dampeners to minimize sudden movements that would startle its small inhabitant. Inside is a surprisingly large and comfortable space fit for the giant Shi-jai that’s a bit small for her age. The bag snugly fits and can be clasped on his armor’s back. The lights have been disabled to minimize power consumption.
  
  Item Image [+]

  
  
  It’s the left one.
• Telescoping document tube:
  Contains maps and other documents.
  
  Item Image [+]

  
• Large dark teal duffle bag: For clothes and other personal items.
• Wireless noise cancelling headphones: Provides a high quality music experience for days before it needs to be recharged. Perfect for audiophiles or people who wants something akin to heavy-duty earmuffs. Holo interfaceable.
• Holo watch: A holographic computer in the size and build of a luxury watch. It is meant to be used as a portable computer or an interface for other wireless objects.
• Psi-inhibitor collar: A personal memento that he likes to wear. The collar is almost always turned on out of personal preference.

Others:
He has a spider named Unaysah. She is over two years old upon Koren’s stay with the Revenant crew. She is fuzzy, friendly, and loves cuddling. Currently 3.7 inches in diameter. Her favorite treats are Kansasha mice. If there’s breathable atmosphere, she’ll help with reconnaissance using a small mounted camera especially made for her.

---

Skills:

• Poker-face god
• Good at reading people
• Fast and reactive
• Agile
• Enhanced olfaction due to his orientation towards air
• Experienced ship mechanic
• Impeccable sense of direction and orientation
• Naturally quiet footfalls and movements
• Currently learning about robotics engineering

Powers:
From his Alliance Dossier File:

Koren Syr Ai Elainus is a naturally born Psionic hailed as potentially one of the strongest within his age group when he was screened and rated for his abilities nearly two decades ago. He was rated 86% stronger than most of the Juz’’s psionic population, and 95% for his element. However, his affinity for air made it so that his body cannot endure prolonged use of his Psionics regardless of his destructive abilities.

His astonishing ability to manipulate and control air has been noted when he was tested during his period in captivity. Amazing still when he showed the ability to create small gusts of wind despite wearing a Psi-Inhibitor collar meant to suppress if not, stop Psionic use.

The Juz’ Prince had initially been rated as a level 3 Keter class Psionic. Upon further debate and observation, the Juz’’s status has been rated as a level 7 Euclid class.

---

Other:

• You’re saying his name wrong.
• It’s Juz’, not Juz.
• It’s said Jooz-daa, not Jazz or Juice.
• He tends to seemingly wander aimlessly than anything so it’s unlikely for him to be seen in the same place twice in a row unless he’s doing something there.
• The most reliable way to contact him is by pinging him on his holo or leaving him sticky notes in his room since that’s likely how he will talk to you anyway.
• He has good handwriting done out of practiced preference. He can copy yours, too!
• That includes signatures.

Name: PA(X)-1147j, "Pax"

Age/Race/Gender: Unknown / Robot / Male Program

Appearance:

Occupation: Personal Assistant/Body Guard, Bartender, Animal Tender, Slave

Weapons:

The "Maverick" handgun is a heavy-duty, revolver-style sidearm crafted utilizing specialized gauss technology and designed to fire a wide variety of ammunition types housed in specially shaped cartridges. Capable of firing rapid bursts or charging up powerful shots, this versatile weapon can be extremely deadly in the right hands - or extremely deadly to the wielder in the wrong hands, as the recoil and kickback are unparalleled. Cartridges contain four to eight rounds, depending on the type of ammunition. Slugshot and Buckshot rounds come in fours, and ball rounds come in eights. Slugshots and ball rounds can be charged up for more power, while only ball rounds can be burst-fired.

Armor: Pax's frame and circuitry are protected by lightweight and flexible armor plating

Items: A pouch of Tarberries and several cartridges for the Maverick handgun

Skills:
Quick Learner. Due to Pax's past experience as a personal assistant, he can quickly learn new skills by analyzing examples of those particular skills being put to work - like an apprentice mimicking their mentor. However, at the same time, this method is not flawless, and Pax is prone to failure from underlying memory issues.
Animal Tending. Pax has experience working with all kinds of animals, and can detect when they are distressed by analyzing body cues. He has managed to calm down a few angry creatures in his time, and is exceptionally interested in animals that are kept as pets. He loves pets (Except for insects and arachnids).
Bartending. If you've had one hell of a bad day, Pax has you covered with a vast knowledge of over three-thousand alcoholic beverages. While he may know all the right mixtures, though, he does not know each species' level of tolerance (nor does he honestly care)... so careful what you ask for, cause he'll make it for you whether it's safe or not.
Melee combat. Pax has only ever fired a gun once (technically twice), but he has fought extentively using his own body as a weapon. The fact that he's made out of metal makes him a very difficult opponent in a bar brawl, and the only downside is that he's not really trained in any fighting disciplines. Aaand, y'know, bar brawls aren't too common outside of bars and dark alleyways and other such places.

Powers: None

Other: Has a pet Kirukana named Nagansa. Her body is ~76cm long, and she has a wingspan of about ~124cm. Kirukana possess a natural ability to camouflage with their surroundings, much like an earth chameleon, but their many small eyes cannot (their eyes also reflect light, which is extremely noticeable in dark environments). Their feces also smells amazingly terrible, leading researchers to believe it is used to ward off predators from the Kirukana's territory.

Name: Kotze Wylk

Age/Race/Gender: 31, Human, Male

Appearance: Kotze is unassuming enough; 6’0 with a lean build, clean cut, eyes a little sharp, but who isn’t these days? Beneath the loose-fitting clothes is a different man. His flesh is a twisted mess of knotted keloid scars, patchy burns, and the occasional missing chunk of meat sometimes replaced with black biomechanical muscle grafts but other times simply absent. It’s a miracle the man can even walk, let alone live, with the extensive damage done to his body. A keen eye can detect ink interspersed between mangled flesh and bionics, once bright and vibrant but now coated with raised scars. Whatever the tattoos once represented are now lost to all but Kotze.

Occupation: Intelligence Operative

Weapons: Kotze carries a simple AAC Model 9 pistol with an inbuilt suppressor and double stacked magazine for a maximum capacity of fifteen .45 rounds. The weapon is easily concealed in his jacket or waistband. Kotze also typically has a standard 9 inch combat knife from hilt to tip somewhere on his person, because hey, ya never know.

Armor: Kotze’s only “armor” is the Kenshiro Systems Stealth Suit, a lightweight catsuit interlaced with duraweave to protect him from only the smallest caliber weapons. The suit’s real function is the mimetic polycarbon installed in the fabric, which is connected to Kotze’s subdermal implant that allows him to blend into his environment like a chameleon. The suit fits comfortably beneath the civilian clothes he typically wears.

Items:
Plastech Deck VI: Kotze’s data pad is inconspicuous enough, appearing to be a 6”x3” transparent piece of glass with a typical neon interface. However, the device has been heavily modified to jack into and hack simple electronics like doors, computers, and low-level security systems. The readout is linked to Kotze’s cybernetic optic nerve, and the screen can change to display more “innocent” material while his eyes pick up the pad’s true content.

Alpharotec (2 bottles): A prescription medication that functions similar to an immunosuppressant given to patients to prevent their body from rejecting transplanted organs, only Alpharotec stops Kotze’s immune system from rejecting his cybernetics. The drug must be taken once every 24 hours to prevent rejection, which leads to fever, loss of control over implants, and in Kotze’s case, that results in death. Additionally, the drug is rare, since so few are afflicted with rejection, so the dependency is expensive.

AAC Smart Mines: A small circular metal disk, about three inches in diameter and half an inch in height, these little mines don’t pack much of a punch, but do well in a pinch. Kotze can carry about three on his person without drawing attention to himself, two stun and one fragmentation.

Skills:

Tradecraft: Having approached his previous occupation with a sort of “jack-of-all-trades” mentality, Kotze has a laundry list of covert abilities with which he is reasonably acquainted, including hacking, trailing, stenography, cryptography, interrogation, and so on. He is a professional liar and skilled wordsmith as well, able to pump targets for information without them ever knowing. Though not an expert in any of these fields, Kotze’s versatility often gives him the needed edge.

Cyborg: Kotze’s clandestine abilities are further enhanced by his cybernetic implants. His left arm is replaced entirely by a prosthetic, a Blackhammer Bionic Muscle Graft. Kotze’s muscles on his left arm has been completely stripped away from the bone, replaced with a corded black synthetic muscle that weaves into his torso. While the replacement is slightly tougher than human flesh, the real advantage lies in the quick-twitch neuron receivers that allow Kotze to move his left arm with increased dexterity and speed. The synthetic flesh still relies on Kotze’s blood to operate and can be difficult to repair. Kotze is also equipped with an OptiNerve Mk. III Targeting and Identification Unit, a simple optic nerve replacement that hooks up to a Net chip in Kotze’s brain. The tech features a facial recognition system which then accesses the individual’s public (and private, if available) records on the net. The OptiNerve has two other features, a simple zoom and a night-vision modification. However, this is older tech, and his left eye will noticeably glow neon blue when the features are in use. Finally, Kotze is the proud owner of the Kenshiro Systems Subdermal OctoCamo System Version 5.3, a thin, transparent layer beneath his skin and over his muscle grafts that, when activated, mimics the color and pattern of his surroundings. Kotze possesses a stealth suit wrapped in the same material as well, and has embedded microchips that link the two together. The system can also hide his thermal signature for short periods of time as well. Overall, the camouflage is only convincing from a distance or in the dark. Additionally, Kotze has had many major organs and much of his nervous system swapped with cybernetic replacements, though they function almost identically to a normal human body. All of these systems run off of a neural chip in his cerebral cortex, making him extremely vulnerable to EMPs.

Well-Travelled: Kotze’s seen much of the universe, and he’s picked up a few friends and tricks along the way. He’s skilled enough in most of the major Federation languages to navigate their planets without issue, and is well-versed in their customs and traditions. In his travels, Kotze’s also accumulated a fair amount of friends and people who owe him favors, though the line between the two is often blurred.

Powers: Once upon a time, Kotze had the ability to bend another’s will into his own with powerful mind control. However, his extensive cybernetic nervous system has reduced this power to practically nothing, and he has little agency over when it is activated. The “mind control”, if you can call it that, manifests itself as intermittent spurts of intense charisma or low levels of feeling of trust and attraction for longer periods of time.

Name: Currently Henry
Age/Race/Gender: ???/Retvvnd/NA
Appearance: Henry is a human with dark brown hair and blue eyes, who looks to be in his mid forties. He wears a blue jumpsuit and vinyl leather boots.
The Retvvnd looks like a small worm made of thick pus, about five centimeters in length.
Occupation: Expert on the illicit acquisition of objects and information

---

Weapons: When The Retvvnd took over, Henry had no apparent combative ability, so it stole a simple laser pistol. It has fairly high ammo count due to Henry's clumsiness, but apart from this is unremarkable.
Armor: Henry possessed no armour, so The Retvvnd stole a small Powered shield generator. It's weak, but should protect him from a shot or two. Armour isn't really a concern for The Retvvnd.
Items: None, apart from a copious amount of credits stolen from Henry's old workplace, and a one person speeder (Also stolen).

---

Skills:

• Increased memory and speed: Through the manipulation of nerves and brain, The Retvvnd has basically overdriven it's host. It moves 50% faster, and can recall things photographically (Which allows for discovery of new facts through remembering)
• Hacking: The Retvvnd has learned how to hack, as it found it is a useful skill with many applications.
• Nerve Disconnect: The Retvvnd can forcibly sever certain nerves, cutting off pain and fine motor control to that region.
• Vintage spaceship salesman: Before The Retvvnd took over Henry sold refurbished spaceships. He can get a hot dollar on most old spaceships.
• Cargo and Trade routes: Henry was keenly interested in cargo routes and intergalactic trade, and The Retvvnd has accessed this knowledge.

Powers:

• Eject: The Retvvnd can eject from its host. More detailed info below :)
• Possess: The Retvvnd can enter any organic lifeform larger than it and take control of it.

Other:
