"I thought it said "liberate me"-"save me." But it's not "me." It's "liberate tutemet"-"save yourself." -Event Horizon

Janus Shipping Corp [+]
Main office: Armstrong, The Moon.
Background: Janus Shipping Corp is focused on manufacturing, shipbuilding, and colonial travel. Therefore, it makes sense that the Kepler Project would rank high among its priorities.
Attitude: Cost-Effective. Janus will lie to their workers, calling them a family and then cutting vacation time and holiday pay. Janus' motivations are always profit-driven, unafraid of the human cost to achieve those profits. The ideology exists somewhere between Henry Ford and Jeff Bezos in levels of horrible corpo overlords.



Vira-Legat Bioengineering [+]
Main Office: Titan Station, Saturn
Background: Vira-Legat is a research organization based on life extension, transhumanism, and cloning. Its main drive is the chance to experiment on possible alien flora and fauna using the Kepler Project.
Attitude: Amoral. There is no ethical problem with the ruling board of Vira-Legat, whose oldest member is 195. Their goal is to achieve a new evolution of humanity where their leaders can exist in a state of immortality regardless of the consequences. Over the past 50 years, there have been over three thousand lawsuits against the company, all dropped via bullying, payoffs, or assassination.



Tachibana Logistics [+]
Main Office: Neo Osaka Dome, Mars
Background: Tachibana Logistics is a corporation based on computer and Android systems. During the past 115 years, Tachibana has developed multiple android models to act as assistants and workers in long-range ship voyages and dangerous work environments. The Kepler Project means more need for both computer systems for ships and android workers for unknown environments.
Attitude: Cold. There is an expectation in Tachibana's work culture. Your company is your life; your family is secondary, if not wholly unnecessary.



Atlas Mining Corporation [+]
Main Office: Olympus Mons, Mars
Background: Atlas is less a single company and more of a monopolistic power-grab of companies that goes back hundreds of years, all under the control of a single family. Once the first Martian colonies were established in the early 2080s, Atlas attempted a power grab for all of Mars. Still, due to EarthGov and other corporate interventions, they were left holding only 1/4th the territory of the planet. Atlas also mines 98% of the rare minerals in the asteroid belt. The Kepler Project promises more material to own, and Atlas wants first dips.
Attitude: Entitled. The expectation in Atlas is to treat the CEO Gaius Moschus as a new God, as he is a bloodline descendant of Atlas' founder (to which there are tens of thousands who could claim that Gaius was just the richest and the one who killed enough in the last power grab). Everything you do is for the CEO; if he arrives, know he is the most intelligent, handsome, and elegantly perfect human in the Solar System. Everyone else is just an idiot for not seeing it.



Grummer Orbital Systems [+]
Main Office: Grummer Offices, Bellus Station, Venus Orbit
Background: A mixture of old earth PMC, military organizations, weapons manufacturers, and scientists, Grummer was the first to develop station security equipment, including automated sentries, non-explosive ammunition to be used inside of an airtight station, ship-based weapons, and, course, orbital canons. The Kepler Project promises the unknown; for those who relish in combat, the unknown means war.
Attitude: Fascistic. You serve the Grummer system. You are expected to die for the Grummer System. Thankfully, Grummer has to play nice with four other Corpos, meaning that the usually prison-like structure of a Grummer Station does not apply to Kepler. But any upper-level members (seen with pristine black uniforms) would love a reason to execute the ruling boards and instill their martial law.

Name

Age
(Due to the horror content of this RP, please, should the character's ages be 18+.)

Gender

Company (Which of the 5 Corpos do you work for?)

Personality
Give me something to go on about your character's inner workings.

History
What did they do before they arrived in Kepler? Or, have they been here their whole life? Kepler WAS established 20 years ago.

Fear and RegretWhat have you done that haunts you to this day? What is your greatest fear? Do not include these with your character sheet that you post, this section will be DM'd directly to me after you are accepted.

Apologies for the seeming triple bump, just declaring the sheet's complete status at this time.

Interested, and I have only two ideas so far. A Vira-Legat scientist with a change in heart or or maybe a Vira-Legat clone that works on the station.

Sometimes, to realize what is right, you have to do something bad

Rylond Marais

Age
40

Gender
Male

Company
Vira-Legat Bioengineering

Personality
One thing that can be said about Rylond is that he is a driven individual who cares about his family. Even at times, he does not show it and is one that can act friendly and be nice to people. But, during his time at Vira-Legat Bioengineering, he has also shown to be ruthless in his drive and not care about the costs of his mother's dream. Which means a lot to him after his mother's death, and he seeks to do right by his family. Despite his drive, Rylond still finds time for the little things and does make some friends throughout his life. Though his drive has waned as the years passed and the true costs of his mother's dream weighted on him. Realizing that he can no longer do this, he seeks to make amends for his time at Vira-Legat. To ease his conscience and seeks to start anew somewhere else.

History
Rylond had always wanted to do right with his family. Born the eldest son to a researcher and government official and in New Pretoria on Callisto. Rylond's life growing up was a happy one considering the state of affairs in the solar system and despite the commitment of his parents's professions, and he would grow close to his mother. His mother, Sarette Marais, a talented and well-known scientist who worked for Vira-Legat Bioengineering. Sarette had a dream where, through her work, humanity could be something more than what they are now. A dream that she would share with Rylond.

However, while it is still unknown what caused the accident at her lab that killed her and destroyed much of her research, his mother's death affected Rylond greatly. But sometime after her death, he gained a newfound goal of continuing what his mother started and fulfilling her dream of making a better humanity no matter the cost. So, with his father's backing, Rylond attended a prestigious university on Mars after years of hard work. He would earn his doctorate and either through his hard work or perhaps by being the son of a well-known employee or both. He applied and was accepted to work at Vira-Legat Bioengineering and eagerly continuing his mother's work.

For years, he worked diligently. At first, he did not expect the level of zero ethics, but this did not bother him later on as it meant there was no limit to his research. Which pleased him, and he worked hard.

Soon, he was transferred to the Kepler Space Station to continue his research there, and Rylond was eager to work at the most advanced nations in the system. But after four years on the station, things started to change for Rylond. For after years of research and experiments and seeing the true costs of fulfilling his mother's dream. Did Rylond start having doubts about what he was doing and if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity to do so. He had done many bad things in his quest, and the costs were catching up to him to what remained of his conscience.

Now, Rylond is considering quitting Vira-Legat and leaving the station. However, he knows that will be hard, given how Vira-Legat would not be willing to give him up so easily and how far they are from the rest of the colonies. But one thing is sure, he can not see himself doing more vile things in the name of his mother's dream and seeks a new path for himself. One where he could make amends for his actions and start anew. But for now, he stays on Kepler and plans on how to leave the station and quit Vira-Legat for good.

Fear and Regret N/A for now.
