Rae Katona

---

---

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.”

– Katharine Hepburn

_{Rae is a short, skinny teenager who walks too tall and fears too little. With long, wavy, chestnut hair, deep brown eyes, and a smattering of freckles, it's easy to be pulled in by her charm. However, underneath all that lie hard lines of ropey muscle. She has no tattoos or piercings to speak of, but both her legs, starting from her upper thighs, are made up completely of wires and shiny metal paneling. Rae was born without her legs developed. Because she was born to a family of Inquisitors, Rae had the best biotech available to her. Her legs are sleek and lightweight, a dusty gold color in an attempt to match her skin. She leans more towards expensive, high-fashion clothing and overpriced makeup, though she is not above occasionally dressing for comfort.}

Delving Deeper

P E R S O N A L I T Y

To call Rae 'willful' would be an understatement. Stubborn as an ox would be more accurate. Hard headed. Clever and charming to be sure, but the moment you think you can tell Rae Katona what to do is the moment you realize you'd have better luck trying to set fire to the ocean. More spiteful than rational, Rae will often do things completely ignoring any consequences.

Though her childhood was far from blissful, she's grown up with more opportunities and resources than anyone should have any right to – and she knows it. She carries herself with all the swagger and confidence (some might say arrogance) of someone who's only ever had it good. Underneath the teenaged attitude and saccharine charm though is a soldier in the making. Rae is sharper than she'd have you think, and surprisingly disciplined when she wants to be. Not that you'd ever realize, with how she seems to court trouble. In spite of (or more likely because of) the strict discipline instilled in her, she takes any opportunity she can to break the rules with reckless abandon, her disregard for authority clear in every move she makes.

Though impulsive, Rae's a perfectionist and can't help but hold herself to implausibly high standards. She expects too much from herself, but hides her insecurities well.

H I S T O R Y

Victoria Rae Katona was born the second child to Henry and Sabine Katona, a well known Inquisitor family. Their other child, Rae's older brother Jensen, was not an Inquisitor. No, instead of carrying on the proud family legacy, Jensen had gone off to be an entertainer of all things. It was quite the embarrassment. Henry and Sabine promptly cut him off and focused all their attention on their younger child – much to Rae's misfortune.

Her childhood was, in a word, regimented. In another word, stifling. In several words, a massive pain in Rae's ass. She had to always be at attention, practice with firearms, hand-to-hand combat, painting was a 'waste of time,' socializing was a distraction… Rae felt smothered. And bitter.

And so, like any teenager, she acted out. She started to steal things. She messed around with the systems. She made unauthorized modifications to her biotech. Never anything too severe, but enough for her to feel in control, even a little bit. Inevitably, she was caught stealing one day. The Inquisitor was an old friend of her father's, and willing to let the offense slide, much to her parents' relief. It just wouldn't do if they were disgraced by not one, but two unfortunate children. Having a thespian in the family was bad enough. A criminal would be the final nail in the coffin holding their family's pride.

Rae then proceeded to confess to a slew of crimes – only a few of which she was actually guilty of. She sucker punched him in the jaw for good measure.

To her satisfaction – and her parents' collective horror – such a confession was too much for the Inquisitor to ignore, and Rae was promptly thrown in jail. Her parents were mortified. Then, when she finally let the reality of her situation sink in, so was Rae. She'd just confessed to a multitude of crimes. When her trial date arrived, there would be no way she'd be allowed to live. And so, Rae's own pride and bitterness had been her death sentence. At least, until J came along.

---

---

---

---

> Personality:

Courageous, stubborn, charismatic and ambitious. If you ask anyone what they think of Oliver Harper, these are most certainly some of the words they'll give you. Oliver is a boy who's always wanted more, always had his eyes on the top. On the top, he believes he'll be invincible, that he and his sister will finally be safe from harm. His charm is effortless, and it's quite difficult not to like him. He's stubborn as a mule, and it's nearly impossible to sway him once he's made his decision, which can be quite the dangerous mix when coupled with his foolish amount of bravery. Oliver doesn't seem to care about any danger, and traipses around the world as if invincible, under the impression that he can't really go through anything worse than what he's been through.

Despite these endearing traits, Oli is a hot headed bastard, tormented by his own insecurities. His temper is known to flare up quickly, and often, and most people know him for being one to start fights. Granted, he tends to win them, and he isn't an idiot. He won't start a fight he can't win. His fear of losing his sister, the only family he has, makes him quite overprotective and clouds his judgement when it comes to her. Not to mention that years of being told he was inadequate gave him quite the inferiority complex, which he masks with an unhealthy amount of arrogance.

> Backstory:

Oliver Harper came into this world with his sister not far behind, born to two wealthy politicians. Their parents, Jules and David Harper, raised the children for the first ten years of their life, and showered them with attention and gifts. They were the picture perfect family, and many people envied their lives. Who wouldn't? They're parents had influence, and Oliver and his sister got everything their hearts desired. In many ways, theirs was the perfect life. And then it all came crashing down.

Jules and David Harper were among the few who spoke up against the Inquisitors, mainly their censoring of history and their judicial policies. Unfortunately, the Inquisitors didn't like that. One night, while the Harpers were out on a date night, a mugging turned violent, and the Harpers were killed, and their children were placed into an orphanage, run by a woman who was firmly tucked in the Inquisitor's pocket. Meg McGovern.

The Harper children's time at the orphanage was torture. Oliver did his best to protect his sister from the abuse hurled at them from the other children, although there wasn't much he could do. The worst of it came from Ms. McGovern, an old crone who had no business working with children. She took a particular disliking to Oli, and instilled him with a complex that he was never good enough, something he still lives with. This torture began to fuel a fire that finally became an explosion, on the eve of the Harper's 15th birthday.

The two children, finally fed up with their treatment, killed the old woman, strangled her. With no where to go, they surrendered peacefully, and they were processed and brought to the prison, where they were separated for the first time in their lives. In prison, Oli found himself to be quite popular, although there were a few who didn't quite enjoy his mask of arrogance. Luckily, he knew how to fight, or his time there may not have been so easy.

---

---

---

---

> Personality:

In many ways, Eliza is quite a lot like her brother. She's stubborn as all hell, even more so than Oli. She's also quite the wordsmith, and is known for being a very convincing young lady, one who could talk anyone down. But she's much more patient than her brother, far less arrogant. She's much more quiet and reserved, at least that's what she shows to the people around her. She saves her more energetic side for those that she truly knows and cares for, which is very few people.

Eliza's past however, has left her selfish. It doesn't show in everyday life, but most people know, that she's in this for herself. The only person she'd ever give her life for is her brother, and she's made it clear to everyone that should a time come when it comes to her or them, she'll pick herself every time. This ruthlessness also shows itself in her struggle to form close friendships, as she'll rarely be the one to interact with others first.

> Backstory:

Eliza followed her brother into the world, kicking and screaming. Her parents often laughed, and told her that they knew right then she'd be a handful. Showered with attention and gifts from day one, Eliza was a happy child, at least in the beginning. She and her brother were inseparable, constantly by the other's side. Coupled with their so in love parents, life was good. At least in the beginning. But then tragedy struck.

Jules and David Harper were among the few who spoke up against the Inquisitors, mainly their censoring of history and their judicial policies. Unfortunately, the Inquisitors didn't like that. One night, while the Harpers were out on a date night, a mugging turned violent, and the Harpers were killed, and their children were placed into an orphanage, run by a woman who was firmly tucked in the Inquisitor's pocket. Meg McGovern.

The Harper children's time at the orphanage was torture. Oliver did his best to protect his sister from the abuse hurled at them from the other children, although there wasn't much he could do. Eliza was forced to become strong, though she doesn't so much regret that she did, only that she had to. The worst of it came from Ms. McGovern, an old crone who had no business working with children. She took a particular disliking to Oli, much to Eliza's regret, as it left her feeling like she couldn't protect her brother. This torture began to fuel a fire that finally became an explosion, on the eve of the Harper's 15th birthday.

The two children, finally fed up with their treatment, killed the old woman, strangled her. With no where to go, they surrendered peacefully, and they were processed and brought to the prison, where they were separated for the first time in their lives. Eliza found prison to be an easy time for her silver tongue, and she talked her way out of many fights, and made plenty of friends, though being apart from her brother was always extremely difficult.

All bark, but no bite, Cameron often gets herself into more trouble than she can handle just by running her mouth. Ill-equipped to handle true conflict, the tall, lithe girl loves to live on the edge but rarely has the composure to keep herself there without falling. Her hotheadedness gets in the way of her innate ability to solve problems quickly and logically, and that conflict causes her tremendous internal problems.</sub>

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

She thinks in numbers and logic, in design efficiency and in results. To Cameron, everything in life is a puzzle, and she has the god-given gift to solve it. Nothing gives her greater satisfaction than finding the logic behind something. But she isn’t a machine; she values life, and the freedom that comes with it. Sometimes, it’s a paradox that she struggles to solve: how can she logically reconcile giving everyone the right of complete freedom, when terrible people exist in the world? For now, much of her answer hinges on the idea that being good or being terrible is a relative concept, just as the physical world can appear to change based on perspective.

Cameron fiercely defends her answer and her belief in it, often causing more problems than she’d like. She often ends up in those kinds of situations, as she has a mouth that tends to run away and get her into trouble. And she doesn’t handle trouble well. Though she talks herself into trouble, rarely can she talk herself out, and she lacks the emotional composure to handle any kind of serious problem.

But beneath her all bark no bite attitute, that question still lingers, and it eats away at her, even though she won’t tell a soul about it.

> Backstory:

Her parents designed armaments of various sorts for the Inquisitors and their armies, a job they were more than willing to carry out. For much of her early life, Cameron was happy to learn the family’s business and pick up the trade when she became of age, but the rebellious phase of her teenage years hit her hard. She became incredibly introspective as her rationally operating mind found faults in the logic of society, leading her to begin to disrespect her parents frequently and lose interest in supporting the Inquisitors with weapons.

As her teenage angst and bitterness began to interfere with the reasoning and logic she had come to depend on, Cameron began to spiral. It started with alcohol, then light drugs, then heavier drugs as she sought to drown out the noise in her head. She managed to get away with it for a short time without letting it bother her on a daily basis, but one day, Cameron decided enough was enough, and she was gonna do it. She was gonna Stick It To The Man.

Cameron began to use her technical know-how to create gadgets for little pranks, often using them against the law enforcement around the station. Most of the time, she would overflow a toilet someone was using, or cause their headsets to start blasting music a little too loudly. Sometimes, she’d discharge a small EMP right as they walked by, just enough to shut down their equipment. And sometimes, she’d get video of what the Inquisitors did when they thought they were alone and leave it playing on various monitors around the station.

That didn’t go over well with the authorities.

It didn’t take long for them to find her after that one. Tracking down where that video was going was easy pickings for the Inquisitors. When they found her, Cameron was quick to disrespect, throwing insults and snide remarks at them relentlessly. And when they threatened to shut her up, and Cameron realized just how deep in shit she was, she could do nothing but break down into tears and cry as they took her away. And Cameron’s parents, though unhappy with their daughter’s misbehavior, recognized that her actions had to be met with appropriate punishment. So they let the Inquisitors take her, despite their daughter’s desperate and hysterical cries for help and redemption, despite knowing fully well that they would likely never see their daughter again.

The Very Big Things

Personality:

Christine is seen as a very optimistic kind of person she is always most of the time with a smile on her face, she always strives to try and make others happy and is rarely ever seen to be angry. Christine always has a calm look on her face even during stressful situations she remains fairly calm. But Christine can also be very stubborn to certain things, and she hates being forced to do something that she doesn't want to do. Christine is rarely ever seen to snap but when you end up pushing her buttons way to much then Christine is known to lash out but this is very rare.

In her spare time Christine always likes to stare up at the stars which seems to relax her quiet a bit. She hates being alone and is rarely seen by herself if someone considered her a friend, Christine is a very loyal friend and will always have their backs no matter what happens she would even take the blame for any crime they committed if they did anything.

Backstory:

Christine was born as an only child to Anthony Ramirez and Scarlett Ramirez, her mother was a doctor while her father was a nurse the two of them fell in love fairly quickly and were high school sweethearts since both of their parents before them were also in the same field they did the same. Eventually the both of them became one of the lead doctors and nurses in Port Hope, then they eventually found out that they were pregnant with their only daughter Christine they were happy. Growing up Christine was fairly spoiled and her parents always took care of her. When she was old enough Christine was able to help out though only learning basic first aid at the time, and filing patient files and reports for her parents.

When Christine was in high school she started to fall for a girl in her class, and same for her though they always kept their relationship a secret from everyone else her girlfriend lived in the orphanage. Christine would sneak into the infirmary and by that time she knew more knowledge on medicine and would sneak out and give it to her. Then her parents started to find some medications missing and reported it to the Inquisitors, where they then investigated and eventually found Christine in the act. There they imprisoned her. A few months after being put behind bars Christine heard news that her girlfriend eventually passed away from her illness.

• Inquisitors being inquisitive on his ship
• Animal Cruelty in any form
• The color lime, specifically
• Brussel Sprouts
• Running out of fuel
• Running out of fuel halfway to Monada and having to send out a distress signal for six fucking days while hoping, praying that someone passes by, while Mary-Anne plays the same god-damn music for twelve hour intervals

> Habits:

• Scratches his scruff when nervous.
• Consistently mutters to himself while in the pilot's seat.
• Twitches with excessive energy on rare occasions. It's harmless, mostly.

> Hobbies:

• Writing: Abe dabbles in writing short fiction. It's his biggest pleasure, and he likes the feeling of creating entirely new worlds with his mind alone. And Owen loves listening to them.
• Running: if you were cooped up on the Auburn Liberty all the time, you'd enjoy running too.
• Spending time with his family: Abe has no family of his own, but his sister has always been welcoming to him, as has her husband and their child, Abe's nephew, Owen.
• Cooking, despite the number of times he's set things alight while doing so. He doesn't get the chance to cook much when aboard the Auburn Liberty, so he cooks when he can, and he's actually pretty decent at it.
• Rescuing Animals: Abe is a sucker for pets, cats especially, even though he can't realistically keep on on board the Liberty. Mary-Anne would chew him up alive, and spit the poor creature out the airlock.

> Fears:

• Being caught by his one of his father's employees: so far, he's managed to stay hidden from Vaughn-Co. officials, operating under an assumed name and a very, very good set of fake credentials. It only takes on slip up, though, and Abe can't talk his way out of his father's deathly stare.
• Cults, Obsessions: Something about a group of people being mindlessly obsessed with a being or ideal creeps Abe the fuck out. His father is that way about profits and the "family name". He also fears that he will become the same way, and has told Mary-Anne to ground him in some obscure location, should he ever fly off the deep end.

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

Abe has a heart of gold. Or at least, he would if he wasn't stuck on a slightly decrepit spacecraft with a slightly crazy AI by the name of Mary-Anne. Couple that with a need to eat, repair the ship, and refuel, and you get a pilot under quite a lot of pressure to succeed. As a result, Abe copes with the stress through a biting wit and a good, stiff drink whenever he feels particularly overwhelmed.

Despite the stress, sarcasm, and sadness, Abe manages to be a pretty easy-going, talkative guy: it's necessary in his line of work. Closing contracts and getting customers is how he affords food for himself, so he can be as charismatic as a king when necessary. Necessity aside, talking with others who are not ship AI does wonders for Abe's mood. It's then that the true Abraham comes out: an artist at heart, who dotes on his nephew and has high hopes for the future. There's a hint of idealism in him somewhere, and it's never going to get put out, even when his cleverness, cynicism, and experience do everything they can to snuff it.

> Backstory:

Abraham Vaughn was born to be a high-caliber merchant. His father, Anton Vaughn, is the latest CEO of Vaughn-Co (from a line of six Vaughns), and in charge one of the biggest distributors of luxury goods in the region. He intended Abraham to be his successor, and from a young age, Abe was raised to appreciate luxury, and more importantly, appreciate how to make luxury look attractive to outsiders. Plenty of people had wealth, but fewer had wealth and sought to sell it as well.

Through his child years, he was raised by one of the best planetside school affordable to people of his status, with the intent of teaching him the qualities his father sought in him. Afterwards, Abe spent his teenage years at home, mostly: being instructed by world-class tutors and cutting-edge professors about the important facets of trading and economics. Aside from that, Abe spent much of his time attending various high-class functions, and getting to know his peers in society. Never mind making friends, his father said, make allies instead.

When he was eighteen, his father slide him in the door of Weber-Ross University, one of the premier schools for business in the known regions of space. Wealth definitely had its perks. From there, he was instructed in all manner of high-level classes, from navigation to survival to things he couldn't possibly understand to be useful until later. He was being groomed for true success in life.

Abe hated it. He hated the preppy people he spent so much time around. Everyone so glib and content with their lot in life. There was Anardo, heir to an asteroid-mining empire. Elyia was just passing by: her mother made jewelry from crystals tempered in solar-radiaton, or some other such nonsense. Everyone knowing that wealth was assured. And, somehow, almost everyone being an only child.

Most of Abe's resentment came from that one key fact. In wealthy circles, it appeared that to have more than one child was only fashionable if one needed a male heir, as was the case of the Vaughn family. Before Abraham, there was Cara, his older sister. Once he was born, she was metaphorically tossed aside. Oh, their mother and father gave her an excellent education, and a place to sleep and food to eat, but he could tell: they really had no interest in her from the moment he had been born. Raya, his mother, did not give her gifts on her birthdays, like she did for him.

When Cara met Wilhelm, a broker within one of Anton's partners' firms, and they fell in love, Abe was very happy indeed. They were married three weeks after Abe graduated from his high school program, and moved off-world to another planet, in an area of sunshine and relaxation. Wilhelm certainly did just fine with his brokering. Three months later, and the news broke that Cara was expecting. Abe was going to be an uncle, and he thought for sure his parents would be thrilled. Raya was as ecstatic as he was, but Abe could not miss the look of faint disinterest on his father's face. The rift between the two only deepened from there.

Abe ended up dropping out of Weber-Ross at the end of his junior year, three years later. He did not come home to a warm welcome. A furious Anton demanded to know exactly what his son was thinking, because he had just left the best opportunity he would ever have, and only crazy people would have given up such a future. Raya watched in deepening horror as Abe finally exploded, calling his father a monster, an addict, a man with "profits" stuffed so far down his throat that it was a miracle he wasn't shitting gold. Then he politely suggested that perhaps instead of trying to force him into a legacy he wanted no part in, his parents might consider giving his sister some love, which was really all she ever wanted from them.

Anton Vaughn told Abe no son of his would ever dare to say such things, and to get out of his sight. Abe promptly did so, running to the family's freighter hangar, stealing the first ship he could gain access to, and leaving. It was only after he left orbit that he realized how horribly screwed he now was. With his father likely calling in every favor he had at the local Astro-Defense district, Abe did the only thing he could think of.

He used his high-quality knowledge of ships, drilled into him year after year, to rip out the Auburn Libety's tracking beacon. And the backup. It was probably then that he damaged Mary-Anne: there was no time to be careful, and it was only a little bit of collateral either way. Now off the radar, Abe went to see his sister.

She of course, was furious with him for being so rash, but they could never stay angry at each other for long. She and Wilhelm swore not to tell of his whereabouts, and provided him with fuel and food. Unfortunately, he could not stay: it would be one of the first places his father would. He patted little Owen on the head, kissed his sister on the cheek, and shot off into the sky.

From there, it wasn't hard to decided what to do next. A now-unhinged ship AI was more than happy to find darknet information for Abe about how he could change his identity, and some siphoned funds from his fathers accounts before he was shut out was enough to do the deed. All cash transaction, and after lots of money and a bit of time, Abraham Vaughn was replaced by Abe Varker the freelance merchant. From then on, it was going to be a tough life, but Abe knew it would be more fulfilling than what he had left behind. He hoped so, at least.

For the next seven years, Varker quickly established himself as a go-to guy for anything that needed to get from one place to another fast. Even the not-strictly-allowed-stuff was fair game, and that only added to his appeal. With Mary-Anne's help, and a slowly-growing yet loyal network of like-minded individuals, Abe's infamy began to grow.

Whenever he makes a particularly good score, he goes to visit his nephew. Generally it happens once a year, but those two weeks are the best weeks of his year, without fail, and always keep him going until the next time. His parents may have given him up for dead, but his sister's family treats him how family should.

His latest endeavor brought him to Port Hope, where his little network had heard whisperings of a big score up for grabs. No word on that as of yet, but he has one ear to the ground, and both eyes looking. Something big had to be going down.

> E X T R A I N F O

- Abe's nephew Owen is one of his favorite people to be around. The little 10 year old is fascinated by Abe's adventures and his fictional stories.

- On Mary-Ann: The Auburn Liberty's AI has seen better days. Identifying itself as female, Mary-Anne assists Abe with charting courses, finding safe havens for slightly-illegal trade, cooking with the meager on-board supplies, and much, much more. Highly intelligent and pseudo-self-aware, Abe feels comfortable calling Mary-Anne a friend, at least partially. Unfortunately, Mary-Anne is prone to attitude, and opening the airlocks of the Auburn Liberty when irritated. Although she can be stubborn, unwilling to comply, and in certain situations, downright dangerous, she has never actually threatened his life, only his patience and his deadlines. In fact, he finds her quirks almost endearing.

Education & Skills

Her parents weren't born on Port Hope but came to it as merchants. So mostly the market district but they had some underhand business ventures as well.

> Classes:

• English
• History
• Languages
• Psychology
• Maths

> Skills:

• Athena, to people who generally speak one language the most of their lives, seems to have quite the talent for picking up languages. She's fluent in both useful languages (Mandarin and Spanish) and not so useful languages (German) while having a grasp of other notable languages such as Portugese and some Russian.
• She's not very good at much things that involve physical exertion but sit her in front of a crowd and she'll probably rile them up or have them nodding in agreement with her. She'd make for the perfect politician if she just covered up her illegal activities instead of just making it so blatant.
• Athena is good with people and due to the fact that she really doesn't care what she does to them, she really doesn't mind working them so they fit cosily around her little finger. This, of course, means using any method to obtain that which she desires.

Delving Deeper

> Personality:

Figuring Athena out is somewhat equivalent to trying to finding the exact centre of a hurricane, you could probably do it but you'll more than likely end up in a ditch somewhere. She's a blip that bursts into a tempest within a moment's notice and fades to a whisper within the space of a day. It's how she evaded the authorities for so long. She can be deceptively quiet or wonderfully obnoxious and most who meet her think that there's definitely a few screws loose - there is, of course. When you meet her, it won't be very obvious immediately because she can seem quiet and distance but sit her on a pedestal anywhere and she seems to explode into life. She can be kind to those who she values but if you become a non-profit to her, for even a single moment, she will wipe you off entirely. Of course, she's not very good at killing but that's why she pays people who are. Piss her off and you should expect a very harsh treatment, something far worse than death (once again relying on other people to administer said treatment). Basically, you'll never be bored around her but being close to Athena is akin to performing a ballerina recital in a minefield.

> History:

Athena could have had a shitty life, devoid of all happiness and hope but she didn't - she had a brilliant one. She was born to two wealthy merchants who made a living by travelling between Ports and Capital Worlds, selling on their products. Anything she wanted, she typically got and her education was good but countless profressionals had informed her parents, which they fervently denied, that there were a few things wrong with Athena. She didn't seem to consciously care for human life whatsoever and considered people to be puppets that could be cast aside and played with as if they were truly a toy. The Inquisitors never liked the crazy ones - they were prone to mindless violence so her parents hastened to cover it all up.

Her mother was an artist and although she was loving and caring, she was obnoxiously demanding. Perfection was the only thing that ever appeased her and the young Athena jumped to the mark but such things can only last for so long before an unhealthy hatred of authority itself is developed, especially in someone who isn't exactly right. Her father was the one she liked. He was one of those men that treated his family as if they were wonderful little angels but if one person ever crossed him or them, he would break them into small little pieces; maybe that's where she got it from? He was a merchant but he ran an underground smuggling business, bringing rare artifacts out of Inquisitor hands and into the hands of those who paid the most. Their family were fucked up but the type of fucked up that seemed to merge together and bond under extreme conditions. It worked for quite a while then she grew up and it gradually didn't work - she got sick of her mother and started arguing a lot. She turned to heavy drugs and after a number of spats with her father and too many times left feeling way too fucked up, she dropped away from them entirely. Abandoning school as well, she used the fleeting money she had to start her own gang.

It wasn't exactly easy starting out as a teenage girl competing with trained thugs smuggling drugs but eventually people listened and a little after that, they followed. By fifteen, she had her own mafia of sorts, willing to do anything as long as the money was good. Loyalty was centre-seeking and she made sure that she was always a necessity for the gang. They worked, strangely, and she became a big thing in the underworld of Port Hope but almost as soon as it had started, it collapsed. After a little red-haired bitch got locked away, the Inquisitors came knocking and the rest of them got locked up. They knew exactly who she was when they found her, namely due to the fact that she told them everything she had done. Vengeance is a fickle thing.

She functioned pretty well in jail. Her language skills came in handy when dealing with people who couldn't speak English and she seemed to hold some sort of sway over the other prisoners. Things were going alright (apart from the upcoming execution) before J told her what to do and after that, well everything became fifty shades of fucked up then.

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

Gabriel is a relatively modest, quiet, hardworking young man with very simple goals in life. His family and the people he care about hold the biggest space in his heart, and though he usually comes off as standoffish and serious at first he is an intensely caring person once he gets close to someone. Manual labor is his forte and he always strives to perfect his craft. He can be a lighthearted, jokey, sarcastic, laidback person most of the time but tends to appear very serious and withdrawn.

> Backstory:

Gabriel grew up in a poor, but tight-knit family of laborers and mechanics. When Port Hope was a new and up and coming place, his parents moved there to help service the spacecrafts that came and went. He was born into the trade and was welding almost before he could walk. For a long time life was simple, he helped out his neighbors with minor repairs that they needed around their homes and turned tricks for cash in his later teen years. Gabriel had a small circle of very close friends, especially one in particular; Abby. They spent nearly every free moment together, everyone knew that they were practically glued to the hip.
And then Abby was dead. Her death disrupted life in their usually quiet district, rumors and speculations flew from one neighbor to the next. The only thing that everyone knew for sure is that Gabriel had been arrested and hauled off just after his seventeenth birthday, and no one from home was ever able to hear from him what had happened. They had no idea how anyone could suspect Gabriel of murder, but the insistence of the Inquisitors on the allegations against him- he was the last person to have seen her, it was a crime of passion?- started to fill their minds with doubt.

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

An intelligent, driven, pleasant, and eternally curious young girl with a bright future. That would have described Inmate 7872 before they were locked up. Now, she is cold, bitter, has a dangerously inclusive knowledge of the human body, and straddles the very narrow line between genius and insanity. Inmate 7872 is a near perfect example of what happens when someone not only hits rock bottom, but plows into it at relativistic speeds.

Still, there are some traits that she still possesses from her old self. Given proper incentive, there is a chance that she will help you with something, particularly if it involves biotech or someone injured. She also still seeks to learn new things; offer her something that she doesn’t already know, and she will be much more likely to assist you. However, she may refuse you for no other reason than that she can.

Above all other things, 7872 hates the Empire. At the best of times, she sees it as a diseased creature that ought to be put down, and the Inquisitors as part of the disease. Her near complete isolation means that she is not entirely stable anymore; if she smiles, it's not because she's happy to see you. Or at least not in a way that you will find pleasant. There is nothing to hold over her as leverage, as everything that was once of value to her has been stripped away. At the end of the day, she cares about nothing and no one. Deal with her at your own risk.

> Backstory:

For the inmates contained in the juvenile detention hall of Port Hope, there is very little to do. Life is routine and repetitive; you leave your cell when the door opens, do the job that was assigns to you, eat when you are allowed, and return to your cell at curfew. The rest of your time is spent keeping yourself occupied until the last birthday present you will ever receive. One of the ways in which the inmates pass the time is through gossiping about anything and everything. Some people brag about what they did to get locked up, some bemoan the lives they could have had, and some just talk about which guards are safest to be around.

Almost three years ago, however, a new rumour began circulating around the hall, originating from an overheard conversation between the guards regarding a new juvie that had been placed into solitary confinement. This is itself was news enough; in theory, solitary was reserved for the most violent and dangerous criminals, but in practice, you were sent there if you had done something that really pissed off the Inquisitors. The odds of a juvie being placed in solitary were only scarcely better than getting a full pardon. As time went by, speculation began to run wild about what this new Nameless (named for the fact that those placed in solitary are stripped of everything, even their identities, and are scarcely acknowledged as persons' under the law) had done. Rumours ranged from being an infamous drug runner, to a sadistic mass murderer, to even more outlandish theories. Even a betting pool had been started as to what was on the Nameless's list of charges. But, as tended to be the case with Nameless, there was very little concrete information to be had. In fact, only two things were known for certain; this new Nameless was expected to remain that way until their execution, and the guards universally hated them.

A month ago, however, an astonishing thing happened. Rumour came from the guards that, for unknown reasons, the Nameless juvie was being released into general population. Now, at last, the mysterious Nameless would have a face, and the specifics of her crimes would be known.

What they got instead was a girl who barely spoke to anyone, even her new cell-mate, and did not seem at all inclined to share information about what she had done or her reasons for it. Some believe that, whatever she was before, died in solitary, leaving something else behind. She simply went about her assigned tasks, ate when she was allowed, and otherwise barely even left her cell. According to the guards, she is only a month away from her 18^th birthday, and it seems that she has resigned herself to her fate.

> Theme Song:

My Name (Wearing Me Out) – Shinedown

> E X T R A I N F O

Approximately a week following inmate 7872’s release into general population, there was a confrontation between herself and inmate Cameron Valdes. Inmate Valdez was needling inmate 7872 about her time in solitary and what she had done. After ignoring inmate Valdez’s questions and general annoying attitude for several minutes, inmate 7872 proceeded to calmly inform her fellow inmate that she possessed near perfect knowledge of the human body’s composition and functions, that she knew twelve different ways to very painfully incapacitate the girl with little effort, and another six to leave her crippled and in intense pain that would require extensive surgery to fix. She then proceeded to list off all 18 methods, and asked inmate Valdez what combination she would prefer she use.

Inmate Valdez left inmate 7872 alone after that.

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

Cody is the type of person that often drifts wistfully from one thing to another. Half the time he seems like he's not really there and is lost in thought. When he does focus on something though, he's often obsessive about it. He'll focus intently on something until he loses interest and then he'll drift off again. He has trouble maintaining conversations with others and some see his tendency to drift off as being rude. He's not ignoring them on purpose, he's just easily distracted.

Cody tries his best to be a nice person but doesn't trust easily. He has been betrayed in the past by people he thought he could trust and doesn't want to go through that again. These days he is far more skeptical about people's intentions than he used to be. He'll be friendly, helpful and such but he will rarely trust anyone completely and won't tell anyone trust anyone with his secrets. He often deflects the conversation away from himself.

He is smart but his intelligence seems limited to machines. He couldn't tell you the first thing about human anatomy or the works of William Shakespeare. Although it may only be a matter of time before he drifts into that area of study.

> Backstory:

Cody's parents are true believers. Zealots even. The rhetoric of the inquisitors was drummed into him from an early age and Cody believed it all. That was until he started to get older and he noticed things. Things about himself. He had feelings that he was told he shouldn't have. He liked boys more than girls. A lot more actually. He didn't know why he felt this way but he did. The inquisitors would say that he was a deviant if they knew. They would say he was a monster. They would want to kill him. For a long time he tried to deny the truth about himself. But the more he thought about it, the more he wondered why. Why would they hate him for such a thing? And the more he thought about that, the more he thought about other things. He thought about the teachings of the inquisitors and he began to disagree with much of it.

As he entered his teenage years, Cody began acting out. He would quietly break the rules. Small ones at first but he eventually ended up breaking larger laws like drug use. He not only used them but sold them to others. Nothing really dangerous. He didn't want to hurt anyone. He just wanted to give a silent screw you to the authorities. Breaking the law here and there was his way of telling the inquisitors that they couldn't control him. They couldn't tell him what to do. Who to love...How to be.

He got away with a lot but in the end, it wasn't his criminal activity that was his downfall. It was placing his trust in a friend. He told his best friend that he was gay. The friend reported him to the inquisitors. When they came to arrest him and his parents were informed of the charges, they just let it happen. They handed their son over without a second thought. Cody was heartbroken.

A little digging around by the inquisitors gave them even more fuel for the fire and the charges racked up. Cody has spent the last fifteen months in detention but knows that it is only a matter of time before they come back for him. To finally put an end to him.

Raylan doesn't trust anyone. Deep down he's scared to do so. He would love to have friends and girlfriend, but things like that don't come easy.

He's an honest guy, one that if he says he's gonna kill you, he's gonna kill you, or die trying.

He's not one for loud people or people who talk too much. Raylan himself isn't much of a talker. The odd conversation or two sure, small talk he can do without.

H I S T O R Y

Raylan Elisha Walcott was involved in one of the more famous trials in recent histories. Raylan murdered a man, chopped him up and forced his family to eat his remains. At no point during his trial did Raylan show any remorse, he was upset that he missed out on some sleep. He always thought it was odd, not a single person asked him why, but he wasn't surprised.

As a young child, his parents never really paid him any mind. When one or the had a bad day and got drunk or high, they never missed a chance to beat on him. Trust was something that got beat out of at a young age.

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

On the surface, Isabel is a well-mannered, kind girl who follows/listens to authority and does not do bad things. However, on her own or with trusted friends, she is obnoxiously curious with a deep desire to know what is behind every closed door. She is adventurous and outgoing, unafraid of most things, and can be quite sneaky when she wants to. Biting her tongue is something she grew very tired of once she began to form her own opinions. She has a history of unexpected outbursts towards others who treat her unfairly or poorly and has been in her fair share of fights. Her reckless behavior was at its worst by the time she was imprisoned as she was tired of the strict way of life the working class had to live. Deep down, though, Isabel is very kindhearted and has nothing but good intentions. Her soul is only slightly tainted by anger and hatred toward the Inquisitors, but overall is genuine and pure.

> Backstory:

Isabel was born to Cornelius and Aurelia Crowne, and had a relatively normal childhood for a girl whose parents were both in the working class of Port Hope. Her intense curiosity was always a problem when she was little; she learned quickly not to stick her nose in business that was not hers. And if she really wanted to, she found out that she had to do it without getting caught. As a result Isabel became quite the sneaky little devil, always knowing what was up around her sector, finding ways to listen in on conversations and knowing secrets she shouldn't have any knowledge of. Eventually she stumbled upon the secret that would lead to her downfall, spying on two boys part of an illegal drug ring who were participating in a drug deal. Once she was caught, she was blackmailed into joining their ring. They forced her to steal drugs as she had the advantage of working in the medical field and made her transport drugs across sectors. She wouldn't admit but it was thrilling to be part of something so dangerous and secret. She could have stopped at any time as she eventually became a trusted member, but went on. Her behavior became more reckless, her outbursts towards figures of authority became more frequent, and her relationship with her parents became strained.
The final incident was when she was transferring drugs over to one of her "coworkers," and a guard caught them. The boy, conveniently the nephew of a high-ranked official, killed the guard immediately and then blamed it all on Isabel. She had absolutely no leverage in the situation and was imprisoned almost immediately.

> Theme Song:

Teen Idle – Marina and the Diamonds
_{I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn't been so clean
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and chocolate cake
I wanna be a real fake
Yeah I wish I'd been a,
Wish I'd been a teen, teen idle
Wish I'd been a prom queen
Fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen
& burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) Suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come
Where I have died
Only to find I've come alive}

She usually wears a plain grey long sleeved shirt, that has a hood in the back, and a pocket whole in the front. A long with this she wore a pair of black stretchy pants.

Ever since she was born Aly has been many things depending on which side of her you met. Somethings were always the same though, such as her sarcastic joking side. This never went away, no matter what she did. The other side of her was her trouble maker side. This could show by her cheering some one on to do something, starting a minor fight, though it never went further than words, or even maybe talking back to one of the adults. It was never anything she was scared of in this matter. She only had one goal, to fit in and keep her friends close. Sure she had a few enemies but this didn't effect her much. She was more of one of those people who didn't care about anyone but her friends opinions. Even though Aly is very sociable, she only talks to people in her bubble. This means she isn't completely outgoing to new people, or one to give people an actual chance. When she is around her friends and people she likes she has a nice, fun side. She can be considered a bit crazy and talkitive, since she is almost never quiet. She is also considered a major partier. She isn't very logical also and doesn't think most times, she just acts. Also never get on Alys bad side. She holds grudges for a while, whether or not they are worth it. Along with this she doesn't forgive easily. When angered she also could become somewhat violent, and also can easily be angered. She can hold back somewhat but its not enough to stop her from swinging a punch, but she could never get angry enough to kill someone.

H I S T O R Y

Being the Guards daughter wasn't all as great as it sounded. There was no special treatment for her at all, and she barely ever got to see her parents at all, even though they worked alternate shifts. One worked at night, the other worked during the day. Everytime they came home they were absolutely exuasted. Aly was banned to go talk to them while they were at work also. They realised how much they were gone and hired a babysitter to watch her. Despite this, aly was always out with her friends, having fun, not following most of the babysitters rules. The parents realised, but they also knew that at least there was someone there just in case something went wrong. When Aly was 11, they got rid of the babysitter as there shifts changed to be able to hang out more often. Instead of working 12 hour shifts, they began to work six, giving them a lot more time to be an average family.

About three months later, Aly woke up, and climbed off her bunk and down when she realised it was far from that. Blood splattered the walls. She turned around hesitantly and the tears formed on her eyes as she covered her mouth. The lifeless bodies of two individuals layed there. "Mom!Dad!" She shouted out as she tried to get them to wake up. But ofcours, there was nothing, not even a breath.

She cried as she ran out of the room and called out for help. She found one of the other guards and they entered the room. They saw it and looked in disbelief and instantly assumed it was her. She was contained for the next week before the court trial. They had barely any evidence that she did it, but the inquistidors, charged her as guilty and sent her to the containment center. Ever since then she has been locked up till now. Being in prison for her was like counting down the days till death. She always gave the prison guards a hard time and such as.

The Very Big Things

> Personality:

Alex isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the toolbox but for what he lacks in intelligence and knowledge, he easily makes up for in sheer willpower and hardworking determination. He's no stranger to a hard day's work and savours the strange appreciation of working. In a sentence, he's a farmer through and through. He's a lot more than that, however. He's one of the most honest individuals you'll ever meet and delights in helping others, even if it's at his own detriment. He rarely thinks of his own situation and needs, putting others above himself. He was raised in the thinking that community and family are everything and someone who can't provide for both are a shame. A weakness to this is that he is easy to manipulate and play with. He's strong and willing to fight for a cause which means that someone smart enough could bend him to their own self-interests. Strangely, however, he seems more cautious of people who act kindly in return to him.

Love has hurt him a lot in the past and he approaches it with a great hesitation. He used to be a very hopeful individual and in a sense, he still is, but he still remains wary around others, even if he helps them as much as he can. For that reason, if you hurt him and break his heart, he'll go to a great length to hurt you just as much. Kind he may be, but forgive and forget isn't included in his mantra.

Keep him placated though, and you'll find someone who's stubborn enough to go to any length for you and dumb enough to throw all of his emotional investment in as well.

> Backstory:

Alex was born a middle child in one of those awkward situations where your older siblings are too old to interact with and your younger siblings are too young to interact with either. So, he became quite used to the power of imagination and finding fun in some of the most mundane things imaginable. When he grew out of the playing phase, he spent the majority of his time with his parents. His family were poor; not at the bottom but not too far off it. They were farmers and although it was one of the most important jobs on Port Hope, payment was meagre. Their money situation never really bothered them, however, and they refused to give up their lives in farming. Alex found that admirable and after spending long years working the artificial land, he became quite attuned to the lifestyle of a farmer as well. As his siblings filtered off into different careers and professions, he remained steadfast. He dreamed of going to the Core Worlds and becoming a farmer but things never materialised to allow him to do such a thing. His life was simple but it was a good one. He became involved in the community, matured, became way too strong for his own good and finally began to settle into the idea that he would maybe marry, have a few children and spend his days working the land. It wasn't a bad life and it was a plan he was willing to follow to a T.

And then, she came. She was simultaneously beautiful and intelligent, with a sharp wit and a smirk that would leave him dizzy for days. He should have stopped there but love does horrible things to silly people. You see, she wasn't a farmer, or from a factory family. She was the daughter of an Inquisitor and not just a normal one at that - he was a justicar that manned the criminal justice system. Alex, of course, was stupid enough to fall for her, and he assumed that she loved him too. He really should have stopped when she refused to ever let her parents meet him but he was already in way too deep and not caring enough to think of the consequences.

For a while, she did care about him and their relationship evolved from occasional hook-ups to something serious. Young and stupid, he believed that they could somehow overcome the differences in their positions. They had it all planned - they would escape to one of the core worlds and become settlers for new worlds on the edge of Human Space. Their plans didn't come to fruition.

Her father caught them about a year after their relationship started and things quickly spiralled downwards from there. Her father couldn't possibly risk news escaping that his daughter was willingly with a simple farmer so he had Alex jailed under sexual assault charges. That didn't hurt him, however. It was how she remained silent when he was charged and sent to Juvie to live out the remainder of his life inside a cell. Or so he thought.
