This hider outlines characters that may be integral to the plot. To play one of these characters, you must be a mature roleplayer who is able to take occasional instructions from the GMs. There are certain events that need to happen which you will be involved in. Don't worry - you'll still have the same experience if you choose now to RP one of these characters!

Please don't take it to heart if you submit a character sheet and we choose someone else. You're welcome to adapt your entry into a different crew member or civilian character. To save time, please feel free to run initial ideas for character sheets past us. The GMs also reserve the right to roleplay two or more of these characters. 

The Commander - Played by @Ozymandias

The Operative - Played by Catharyn

A Naval Intelligence Division agent, sent to ensure mission success. They are direct, confrontational and committed to securing the device at all costs.

The AI

The Protégé

The Academic's understudy and trusted assistant. Brought along for their quick thinking and asymmetrical problem-solving prowess. Ready to stand in for The Academic in the event of death in action.

Name: Serin Öztekin

Age: 35

Gender: Female

Profession: OSNID Senior Operator

Appearance:

Personality:
Serin is absolutely devoted to her work, often operating weeks at a time without a break. She was always a strong-willed person, but her training made her direct and assertive, bordering on confrontational. She has a dry, caustic sense of humour that quite a few people will mistake for active dislike which isn't always the case.

Backstory:
Serin was born in Geneva, Switzerland to two members of the intelligence community. Mehmet Öztekin (Director of the European Union Intelligence and Situation Centre at the time) met Margarethe Strahovski (govt liaison at the Outer Systems Naval Intelligence Division) during a rare visit back to Earth to see her parents. Serin came into the world five years later. 

Much of her childhood was spent in diplomatic suites, her father trying to balance his duties with bringing her up. As a result, she never had many chances to make friends with people her own age, which encouraged her to mature very early. She threw herself into school studies and finished her formal education with a Masters in Inter-system Relations from the Sorbonne.

At this point, Serin had grown exhausted with ground-based operations at the EUISC. She asked her mother (who hadn't been around that much but was thrilled by the prospect of working alongside her daughter) about roles in the Naval Intelligence Division. She worked her way up the chain of command from the staff of a planetary NID liaison to Senior Operator in the shadowy Section 3. 

There, she's sent to assess promising claims of alien technology. If it turns out to be significant for intelligence or military technology, she uses the long shadow of NID to secure it for private study.
