The AI's name will be revealed in my next post. Should the doctor's physicals take place at the end of this episode or the start of the next episode? Guess it doesn't really matter to me. I'll post details of episode 2 tomorrow.

I don't really know...I'm guessing the beginning of the next episode. I want to have at least _some_ face to face with each PC for their physical, so it might be a bit of a lengthy process.

Well, i may have an idea for that. A collaborative post on piratepad. Instead of going back and forth with separate posts, you and another player both come online on piratepad at the same time and work together to write the interaction between your characters. When done, you do the same with the next person. When you've had all the characters, you copy the whole wall of text and submit it as one post. I've done it before and it could potentially save a lot of time.

Sounds good. I think I'm gonna start setting that up ASAP.

I'm ready with Daniel whenever.

Sorry I've been so long...I had. a CS done but I lost it when my computer glitched on me. After that my brain fried and forgot...sorry

Will you be available with Daniel in...say...two hours?

Hmm later tonight in two hours I'm not going to be open. Tomorrow would work better, heh know I said anytime sorry.

Alright. I'll be free all of tomorrow anyways, shoot me a PM when you're set.

> Sorry I've been so long...I had. a CS done but I lost it when my computer glitched on me. After that my brain fried and forgot...sorry Don't worry about it. Due to the website not allowing editing of old posts, I guess for everyone who's character is not edited into the first post...tough luck on us finding them easily. :P Or maybe I should have a post on the wiki with the playable character crewmembers so we can find it that way. I'll make the page and you guys can edit in your characters.

Hey guys! I was given the okay to drop a character in here, so I wrote one up, a combat medic to join the crew at the next available opportunity. From the sounds of it, the IC is nearing or already at a decent time, so hopefully that can be soon. I haven't had quite enough time to absorb a lot of knowledge about the universe, so that'll probably happen one bit at a time, when I need to look things up, but I can hopefully figure that out as we go. In any case, here's my character. Left her history vague because it said we could, but I can always elaborate on whatever as needed. Hope you guys like her! **Name:** Astraia Hartwell **Age:** 28 **Gender:** Female **Race:** Xern Human **Homeworld:** Xern **Position:** Combat Medic **Personality:** Astraia's easy-going enough that it gets her into trouble sometimes, as her personality doesn't mesh all that well with the strict nature of military life, especially in regards to things like the chain of command, and authority figures in general. She learned how to take orders well enough to not get kicked out, though, but typically respects action and example well over rank and the weight of a name. In fact, she places very little importance on organizations of any kind. Astraia likes to interact with people one at a time, and judge them based on what they do, not what they are or what faction they're aligned with. She values helping others immensely, and can be a bit hot-headed and a little stubborn if she feels she's being forced into doing something that isn't for the good of the people around her. She joined up to help, not to oppress. Apart from her work, Astraia's laid back and casual, fond of a good time, and a bit of a tomboy in her preferences. She loves physical activity, likes a stiff drink, won't hesitate to flirt if she thinks it'll be fun, and in general will be the first to laugh at something in a room full of people. It makes her a lot of friends, even if most of them aren't the unlucky people who have to give her orders. **Appearance:** [Like this](http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141125015933/evolve/images/0/06/Caira_portrait.png), but without the techy wing things in the back. **Abilities:** Astraia's a medic, her expertise being in the treatment of combat wounds, though her job is usually a patchwork one, to hold things together until someone who isn't getting shot at can fix 'em up better. To that end, she has a number of gadgets for quickly sealing up wounds, stopping bleeding, counteracting burns... really most anything that's needed to keep a warm body from becoming a cold one. Unless you're cold-blooded. She can work with that, too. She knows a wide variety of alien anatomy, and can fix most of them up just right. For combat, she's nothing special, and usually leaves that to the guys who like shooting things. That said, she's more than capable of defending herself. She's a good shot, and carries a few grenades of a nerve agent capable of dropping most organic forms limp to the ground, unconscious. She's not a fan of killing, but she's willing and able to do it if it means protecting herself, or someone on her team. **Equipment:** A combat rifle with spare magazines, a belt of nerve grenades, her medical supplies in her backpack, a combat knife, and light battle armor. Accessorizes as needed depending on location and mission. **Biography:** Astraia will be quick to tell you that there's nothing interesting in her past, and probably give you the short version: she's human, uninteresting, and the past doesn't matter. She's more interested in the future, anyway. There are some obvious complications, though. She was born on Xern, which is in her files, and did not learn either her medical expertise or her combat skills from the IGCP. It's not clear when exactly she left the GAE, what she did while she was there, and what drove her to get away. Her files are a bit sparse on the detail there. Since leaving, however, she volunteered her medical and combat expertise to the IGCP military, and was eventually accepted as a combat medic, and assigned to the Exeralune after serving in several smaller capacities elsewhere.

Looks good! Astraia could help with the medical examinations? And by help she could also chat with them for character interaction purposes. Here's [the page](http://andreemea.wikia.com/wiki/Playable_Character_List) I made to keep everyone updated on the accepted characters, so feel free to add to the list! I'll try to update a lot of my pages today and tomorrow.

Yeah, she could definitely help with those, though she might need to have her own done first, if she's just joining the crew. But yeah, that would be a good way for her to get to meet people.

Bedtime crept up on me faster than expected! Looks like most of my updates will have to be tomorrow (and of course less updates during the rest of the week after my working days)

You know every rp now has a characters tab where you can put the CSs, right Nobody? I was thinking of transferring the list there myself, but then you wouldn't be able to edit it. Then again, i'm probably more likely to keep it up to date :P So i'll just go do that anyways. Giving the players multiple ways to the character sheets is all the better. And yay, Lum is here :3 Great character. One random question though, is her gun kinetic or energy? Both are still in use in current-day Andreemea. You can find more info on it [here](http://andreemea.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_Types_Guide). Oh, and [here](http://downloads.2kgames.com/evolvev3/images/uploads/caira.png)'s a larger version of Astraia's image if you want it. As for the medical exams, i think we'll just use the same pad as we use for the voting, else we've got two links floating around that we can't keep track of because we can't edit em into the main post. [Here](http://piratepad.net/zENsp8QhD0)'s the link again, for easy access.

About the piratepad it saves time UNLESS you live in different time zones making it harder to work together, especially when having a busy personl live but we can try it, though I need more info from nobody about Volray and Alexis as they currently are not crew members yet. just dont expect me to be able to be able to post all the time, so sorry for that at least --- About the playable char page and all, do I need to repost my chars there as well, well in a sense it sounds logical so I can edit them based on the story and keep the basics as they are though for posting them in the char tab, I dont know about posting them there myself or letting lalli do it, well I know I can trust lalli and if he wants to do it and keep them updated himself, be my guest, saves me time for the rest of my short daily time XD

You don't need to be online at strictly the same time per se. Even when you're not, it still saves space, because in a real life conversation, you'd be going back and forth a few sentences at a time. Using Piratepad, you can do that without spamming the IC with a chain of a dozen short posts. About the CSs, i'm gonna put a list of characters under that tab, but i've decided that i'll link to the characters' wiki pages if they have any, rather than to their CS. So there's no need for you to repost.

> And yay, Lum is here :3 Great character. One random question though, is her gun kinetic or energy? Both are still in use in current-day Andreemea.

Oh, and [here](http://downloads.2kgames.com/evolvev3/images/uploads/caira.png)'s a larger version of Astraia's image if you want it. I guess if Pherza is the standard for the IGCP, she'll use that, so... energy, then. I went ahead and made a wiki page for her, I'll drop it right [here](http://andreemea.wikia.com/wiki/Astraia_Hartwell) for you.

I think I'll calculate my race's power index scores all at once so if something seems odd with them in relation to how I view their power compared to one another than I can more easily edit it before going through and posting the final scores.

Is there anybody willing to do the first medical exam collab at the moment?
