'Criminal is but an elaborate synonym for artist- the detective is a simple critic.'

Name:
Ubatokk Y'Shool, AKA 'Wrenchie', a nickname he got for his affinity for wrenches, and his accent, which humans would most closely define as French.

Age:
Last time he counted, it was somewhere near 1095, which is extremely old, even for his species.

Faction and Role:
Engineer for the Marauders

Bio:
Born in the smoky pipes in which his species lives, Ubatokk Y'Skool was raised with machines. Because his species generally creates thousands of offspring, they are abandoned to the machines that have been created specifically to raise them, before they matured enough to move on with their lives, and become a useful part of society.

Of course, to them, that meant expanding their mechanical planet. Because of their dependency on methane, Ubatokk and his species have to live in their artificial airtight environment. The life of a Methanite (The formal name of his species) Was an industrial one, in which there is very little time for any form of recreation or social experiences.

However, after filling the mandatory 300 years of service on the 'Hearth', the government of Methanite elders released him to go out and live his life. So, he worked out on various ships, engineering, as dictated his past. As his travels went on, he gained knowledge of a certain group, known as the Marauders. Eventually, stalking this group of, as he saw them, heroes, he managed to worm his way in, using his engineering expertise to win himself a spot.

During his experiences in the Marauders, he received a rather grim reminder of what this all meant. He was working in the reactor core of one of the ships, when some insolent idiot left a rather flammable sandwich sitting around. By the time the smoke cleared, it was almost impossible to identify the body. He was out of commission for 29 years, in a comatose state. Upon awaking, he was in a metal suit, barely keeping him alive. As soon as he could move his limbs enough, he improved the suit, allowing him to not only survive, but to thrive.

Personality:
Calm and collected, Ubatokk takes pride in all of his work, believing them to be pieces of art. He is a bit cowardly.

Weapons:

He has three weapons. Firstly, his Bio-Wrench. Not only can the wrench be used as a massive club, but it also had the ability to shoot a powerful beam. Called the bio-beam, it tears apart life at the chemical level, dissipating creatures caught beneath it into nothingness. However, it only works on smaller life forms, and is used only to eliminate pests from his machinery. When focused on almost anything else, it results only in chemical burns.
Secondly, he does have a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter can be set on many different frequencies for many different materials. When used on life forms, it will cut deep through many skins.
Finally, his only conventional weapon, a steam cannon. a small handheld pistol, it fires a heavy blast of steam. Though this itself only stuns enemies, he can also load it with slug-like bullets.

Hey, I'm a bit new here. I apologize if my form is not up to par, but I reassure you, I've had experience. Please let me know if I make any mistakes. The QQ code with images scares me the most.

Name: Skyler Stone
AKA: Sky
Age: 21
Appearance: (I hope you don't mind, but I just searched and found pictures on the internet)

Faction: Marauder, "Criminal"
Role in Team?: Fighter
Bio: Skyler was born on a small planet that was well-known for its massive rugged mountains that stretched beyond the clouds, as well as its low valleys. This planet contained a species known as Manaketes, which are dragon-human hybrids that have the ability to transform into either form with the use of their unique dragon stones. Her home planet was very independent, rarely making contact with others.
Skyler lived peacefully with her family and her fellow Manaketes, not to mention her fiancé. One day, humans landed on her home planet looking to explore and make peace with the Manaketes. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out peaceful. The Manaketes attacked the humans out of fear, hoping to drive them away from their territory. Skyler was very interested in the humans, and begged her fellow dragon hybrids to cease any attacks, but they did not listen. The humans sent reinforcements, forcing the Manaketes that did not want to fight to go into hiding. Otherwise, they would be killed on sight.
In the end, the humans claimed victory. The remaining Manaketes fled their home planet, but many were captured. Skyler was taken prisoner and was taken to Earth where she would be charged with murder. She was given the choice between certain death and an expedition team. She is now a member of The Marauders.
Personality: Skyler is a very competitive and determined girl that never gives up easily. She is very witty and humorous, but also serious when she needs to be. She can be a bit of a hot head at times, and she is cold towards humans who haven't gained her trust. She is loyal to those above her, and always respects authority. She is a perfectionist who often tries to hide her weaknesses.
Weapon(s) : She has a dragon stone hanging around her neck that allows her to transform in a dragon. As a dragon, she has very sharp claws, tough skin, and she breaths blue fire. As a human, she is not very skilled with weapon use, but she still carries a dagger. She relies on her dragon stone most of all.
Family/Relationship?: Although most of her family is deceased, this is open for anyone who wants to be one of her family members that meets up with her again.

Thank you. I look forward to RPing with all of you :) Also, I'm kind of learning how to deal with images, so you might need to copy and paste the link into your web address bar. Sorry about that!

[Akayaofthemoon]

All the characters are amazing! I can't wait till we actually get it started ^_^ I'm looking forward to this one.

[Akayaofthemoon]

No worries fiddler, it was easy to copy and paste but there is a cheat sheet at the bottom of the page that can help you learn. I had a bit of trouble with it when I first started on this site too.

[Heat]

Damn, we're filling up nice and quick!

[Vantas]

[ONL]

My CS is done, ignore this post :)

[ONL]

Name: Thomas O'Connol
AKA: "One-Eye"
Age: 36

Appearance

He's wearing his uniform most of the time, try to forget that it's a German uniform, would you kindly? :P

Faction: Committee soldier for the Marauders.

Role in Team: Communications operative, support/Field Operator?

Bio: Thomas' family came from Ireland on Earth, before they decided to join the governmental plan to populate the human colonies on the planets in their solar system. the O'Connol family ended up on Mars, settling down in the first human colony which rapidly grew to become the capital of Mars. His parents were also born on Mars, but would always take the time to take Thomas with them back to Earth to see how their homeworld was, to make sure Thomas never forgot who he was and his ancestors had been. And he never forgot, especially that he was an Irishman.

The living conditions on Mars was worse than on Earth, but better than other colonies in the Solar system, so work outside an office was always hard labour. the O'Connol family worked for generations as miners and terra-formers in Man's effort to terra-form Mars into something similar to Earth. They felt proud of their work, and Thomas himself started working for the Mars Terraforming Program after having graduated from the Martian University of Engineering. Then the recession hit, and things on Mars were about to get much worse.

Funding from Earth dwindled, and increasing mining-activity and increasing failure to terraform the surface ensured that the native water on Mars sank down into the core of the planet, piracy ensured trade with the human colonies shrank. The humans on Mars did their best to avoid famine, but without support from their homeworld, it was inevitable. Thomas' parents died of disease still unfamiliar to humans on the planet, and like many others he blamed the Galactic Committee for failing to save the lives on Mars. At first the dissidence was scarce, only a few acts of looting and violence, but it was when the executions began that Mars became a war-zone. Thomas joined the Martian Defence Forces in their "Fight to keep Martians safe, fed, and independent", and proved himself to be a proficient soldier, and his heritage from Ireland only assured his role to fight for Mars' independence. It was at his time he earned his nickname, "One-Eye", after he had to operate out his eye because it had been injured during a fire-fight.

A year after the "Martian Rebellion" began, Thomas suddenly swapped sides on the conflict to fight for the "Loyalist Forces of Mankind", fighting to preserve the union of human colonies instead of planetary independence. What changed his mind, he won't tell, only the highest ranking military officials and politicians, Thomas O'Connol and those who survived it know happened. Rumour has it that after the MDF started evicting and executing first-generation colonists to take their property for the Martian state, and realizing along others that an independent Mars couldn't survive without support from Earth and her remaining colonies, Thomas gathered a group of men and fled for the closest loyalist base.

Thomas had himself taken part in some of the war crimes during in the five year long conflict, either freely or under direct orders, though at the time the LFM were happy to have any war-hardened soldier on their side. When the rebellion was over however, he was faced with criminals charges for his actions during the conflict, and had a choice; Either being sentenced for war crimes and facing life in imprisonment in one of the feared prison colonies outside Pluto, or formally joining a Expedition force team called "The Marauders" and serve the Galactic Committee for 15 years. Now 14 years of service for the Galactic Committee had passed, and Thomas prayed to God that his life would not end before this time, now that he had freedom within his grasp.

Personality: Can I leave this blank, please? I'd rather set his personality during the RP.

Weapon(s):

Combat Rifle

A combat rifle with both semi-automatic fire and fully-automatic fire, good accuracy and range, and an attached grenade-launcher.

Navy Pistol

Family/Relationship: His parents died during the "Martian Plague Year", while his uncle and aunt still lives peacefully on a farm on Mars, and Thomas hopes to go back to them when his service is over. Thomas himself is not in a relationship, having avoiding getting into a relationship knowing fully that life can end in his line of duty.

Other: Having worked as an communications operator for years now beside taking part as the ground team, he speaks several languages fluently, including a few of the most spoken alien languages. And he speaks with an Irish accent, if it is legit or something he's taught himself to do to keep his heritage intact, is a question he's ready to punch your face in for.

[Jones Sparrow]
