CHARLIE KAYDEN

A space-born wayward mercenary who’s been on more ships than she can recall. Charlie has lived most of her life working job after job in immediate succession, getting caught up in the occasional criminal activity, and getting kicked out of her fair share of bars and clubs. When the call of the Hollow Moon came about, Charlie hitched a ride aboard the Thermopylae as soon as she could. To her, the alien structure is one big meal ticket, and she’s hellbent on working up enough credits in order to make her lifelong dream purchase - a Tyzen CRD Series 19 ’Roaming Star’ model exo-mech.

Cheyenne "Shy" Jung

Though anything but shy, Shy's insulated upbringing and spectrum present personality has her empathizing more with robotics than other people. Brought up by two brilliant scientists who traveled from planet to planet has made her accustomed to interplanetary travel and introduced her to the world of programming and engineering. Her sharp intellect carried her through life when her deadpan charisma didn't, sardonic humor when emotion couldn't; when she found she couldn't understand sarcasm, she learned to wield it like a weapon or wear it like armor. One way or another, she made a name for herself as a premier military-engineer for her innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence. Even when a terrible accident robbed her of an arm and an eye, she personally designed the cybernetics that were constructed to replace them and let the neurologists figure out how to adapt them appropriately; the final design saw to it that the arm was covered in a skin-like latex and the eye was covered in a non-irritant gel. With the discovery of the Hollow Moon, she seeks to get her hands on some of this alien tech and see what makes it tick with the help of three personally-designed miniature drones. With any luck, maybe she could even get her hands on one of those Custodians, too.

EDISON TADAMASA

Edison is an starborn mercenary and hired handyman who has, for the most part, placed his days as a hired gun firmly behind him. In his younger years he was renowned as a capable technician and an even better shot. Now that he has reached an age that most in his line of world would consider old (or experienced, as he'd prefer to put it), he retired to spend most of his time with his family to which funds were funneled in his time in the stars. Times have become harder once again, and as his world faces its seemingly constant struggle the call of the Hollow Moon has caught his attention and given him good reason to come out of retirement. Soft spoken, polite, methodical, and endlessly patient- he is far from the typical mercenary in more than just age. Armed with years of technique and experience scouring astro-terrain and harvesting everything from fallen bodies to invaluable equipment, and interfaced with an additional pair of cyber-prosthetic arms that have been surgically networked into his body and nervous system- Edison is prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure safety and a good life for those he loves back home- and those he cares for in the stars.

NOT ALITA

I know what you're thinking. She must be a cyborg. That's where you're wrong. Yara is in fact completely human, but due to an event in her past she has been enhanced with cybernetic implants. These implants are in the form of small metal disks along the structure of her skeleton. These disks lay inches beneath her skin along her spine, inner and outer arms and legs, hips, and shoulders that are now infused with her muscle. Two even smaller disks lay implanted on each side of her brainstem.

These disks allow Yara to connect to a metal exoskeleton. This exoskeleton is sort of bulletproof in that it doesn't allow bullets to penetrate, allows Yara at least 10% enhanced speed and strength, and even has a few tricks hidden among the metal layers. The only exposed part of Yara's body in her suit is the top half of her head. Why not just wear a helmet? Stop asking questions. Yara in fact has an attachable helmet. when the helmet is placed, it forms a protective seal between the suit and visor. In order for Yara to continue to breathe in this seal, her suit has a reserve of oxygen and emits it through a respirator in her mask.

While Yara is equipped with this protective suit, she prefers to save it for special missions and risky exchanges. When she isn't clad in metal armor, she wears what any other fashionable mercenary would. Complete with a holster for a weapon and small fanny pack, and a knife holster hidden in her boot.

Not much is known about Yara's past except that she's hopped between mercenary ships for the past few years. She's done many odd jobs such as being a hired gun, bounty hunter, and has also been on a few missions to explore foreign planets and bring back precious resources. If you get her drunk enough, she'll even talk about her time with a group called The Maurader's.

Yara has come to the Thermopylae mostly for the reward, but she is also extremely interested in the Hollow Moon. In her days of exploring she has never seen anything like this self-sustaining, biodiverse little hunk of metal. While she is still focused on reaping the benefits that may present themselves, her inner passion to discover new things is certainly at play.

Dax Corvus

Dax Coruvs was born on a mining colony. When he was old enough to work, he was sent in to get fitted for an Exo rig. The increased gravity of the mining planet meant that all workers of Hammertronics Ltd. were fitted with Exo Rigs to increase their productivity. Although technically these Rigs remained the property of the company, which brought in legal questions regarding the humanity of their employees. So, one day Dax had had enough of being treated like shit. In a Heavy Operator suit, he stole a Light Operator rig and stowed away in a mining shipment, faking his death.
Now, he uses the rig bolted to his bones, with the two configurations to make money working as a mercanry with various companies. Eventually making his way to his next adventure. The Hollow Moon.

Ebeneezer "Benny" Barns

Born to a family of traveling a Cappella street performers, he learned to sing and dance at a very young age. However, around the time he was nine years old, while they were unusually hungry and low on funds, he had developed a comedically severe illness that permanently disabled his larynx, leaving him mute-for-life and in a coma. Thinking him dead, his family abandoned him. When he awoke, he found work as the lab assistant for a forger of name-brand prosthetic organs. He worked for several years without pay in exchange for a prosthetic larnyx capable of imitating the voices of thousands of different people. He had attempted to make it as a pop star but, finding few willing to take a chance on him because he "wasn't very special", has taken to the mercenary lifestyle in order to fund his eventual first tour and record production.
