Name: Johnathan Carlyle

Role on the ship: Captain

Picture

Standing tall at 6ft2 Johnathan's has aged gracefully, his hair turning white with just a hint of pepper dotting his impressive beard. He possesses many subdermal cybernetics, most of which are extremely hard to notice, except for his left eye which shines brightly with a brilliant amber hue. Even though he's been in the scrapping business for many years, he still carries himself with the dignity of his former position as a high ranking officer in the UFED Navy.

Personality Traits/Quirks: The Captain expects his orders to be followed to the letter and holds his crew to a very high standard. While at times he may be very demanding, he will not give an order that he himself could not follow. A perfectionist to a fault, he has trouble seeking and accepting council. He rarely is not on duty and doesn't quite know how to relax. He can often be found taking over a watch duty, smoking a cigar while deep in thought staring into the cosmos.

Noteworthy Skills: Johnathan didn't climb the command ladder without merit, he possesses a brilliant mind for tactical maneuvers and strategic decision making, its what has allowed him to thrive in the Scrapping business.

Special Equipment: A relic pistol from before the great migration, with a 17 round capacity and chambered in 9mm.

Bio: The Carlyle family has strong military ties to the UFED government, Johnathan continued the tradition of enlisting in the navy and climbing up the ranks. He even contributed his own son whom enlisted and had just graduated Officer Training School when the chain of command disintegrated in a flash. Up until that point he seemed destined to be yet another scion of his house that became an Admiral, a noteworthy achievement that had become status quo in his family. The chaos that ensued gave him an opportunity to truly make his mark on history and he abandoned his family without a second thought. Captain Carlyle has been in the Scrapping game almost since it really got started and his exploits have helped contribute to the glamour of the lifestyle. His desire to keep it going only grows as each haul and prize gets bigger and more valuable.

Flaws/Vulnerabilities: Among other things, Johnathan suffers from tunnel vision and a horridly inflated sense of pride the most. He still will listen to his immediate subordinates but truly deep down he disregards any suggestion made by a subordinate, deeming them as too inexperienced and young to truly have a grasp on the situation. He's not getting any younger either, he's slowed down physically and has progressively become more frail, there also have been rumors circulating in the ship that his mind isn't quite what it used to be either....

[Attor]

Name: Albert Pierce

Role on the ship: Breach Medic

Appearance: A wiry man in his mid 50s, of average height and wiry. He is in remarkable shape for his age, although he doesn't look particularly powerful. He has dark hair that has been cropped short, and round, wire-frame glasses with very thick lenses, indicating severe vision problems without them. He looks and dresses the part of a gentleman and a scholar, always sharply dressed when not in medical scrubs or wearing body armor.

Personality Traits/Quirks: Albert may be filled with a sense of wanderlust, but his heart is in scholarship, not scrapping. He hopes to use the profits from his exploits on the Wolverine to begin studying the mysteries of the past in earnest and preserve the artifacts of the Federation before they're destroyed or cannibalized. Personally, he is a jovial, although eccentric, man who is constantly friendly and happy to speak about his research and topics of interest, even if he is the only person interested. He is also incredibly blunt, which is typically not seen as a positive trait in the medical field. These quirks, along with his unsavory past, have made him something of an outcast among the crew of the Wolverine.

Noteworthy Skills: Knowledge of a great many topics, not least of which are biology, medicine, history, and the technology of the early Federation and Old Earth. Excellent reflexes, dexterity, and speed. Decent accuracy with a variety of weapons. The ability to improvise moderately effective weapons, traps, medicines, and materials out of very limited resources. The ability to keep a cool head and positive attitude no matter the situation.

Special Equipment: A (previously) ceremonial sword from his former House, since reworked by Albert himself into a working blade. The family crest is emblazoned on the golden, jewel-encrusted hilt, with a tapestry-like engraving displayed on the broad side of the blade itself, long since worn with the sword's use and time.

Bio: Albert was the fourth son of what would become the last line of the House of Pierce on a distant trading planet. Being so far removed from the line of succession, he was given the freedom to pursue his desires at his leisure, and became a scholar of numerous different subjects, hoping to advance in the field of history and biology upon completion of his studies. Unfortunately, these plans never came to fruition, as his father died suddenly of natural causes shortly before the shockwaves of the Federation's collapse hit the planet he once called his home. The Pierce heir, Albert's brother Julian, was a hedonist and a womanizer, completely uninterested in governing the planet. In stark contrast to the iron-fisted rule of his father, the planet collapsed into anarchy in a matter of weeks as Julian cut funding to the police force in order to pay for new fountains of wine in his private garden. Within months, the planet was ruled by pirates, smugglers, and criminals, who had decided the Pierce family were no longer necessary. Albert was spared from the murder of his entire family by his studies, which allowed him to have enough knowledge of human anatomy to serve as a medic in a pirate fleet, which soon departed from the newly christened Haven. 35 years later, Albert was a respected member of the pirate crew and used his life savings to leave the lawless sector of the galaxy and advertise his services as a medic to the first scrapper ship that came along, the Wolverine.

Flaws/Vulnerabilities Albert has some difficulty in understanding and communicating with the 'common folk,' a flaw that was only made worse under the pirates, as a result of his noble bearing and slight fear of their actions after living under 'those barbarians' for years. Although he has not shown himself to be particularly untrustworthy (if a bit… scattered morally), few who know of his past are quick to trust him. Additionally, he is new to the scrapping industry, and although more than experienced in combat and working under limited resources, the specifics of his new profession are unknown to him. Besides all of this, he has a tendency to say and do strange things, and fluctuates between being scatterbrained and all over the place to being overly focused on something, to the point of forgetting to eat, depending on his work at the time.
