Also, when the Fey and Half - Orc become best friends <3
I wasn't aware that there were already two females, or I wouldn't have threw down a character sheet for a female myself. Regardless, I hope you like the character!
Name: Mary Elizabeth Corkoran Prismall
Callsign/Nickname: Hester
Age: 24
Sex: Female
Appearance: She stood at a mere 5'7", with a light frame and athletic build. She didn't have the body of a warrior and was hardly at an intimidating stature. However, it was the way that she carried herself which showed others that this young woman was a determined force, diligent enough to achieve what ever goal she had and proud about it. The girl would stand with a wide gait, hefting her shoulders up as if a string was pulling her head to the ceiling. One hand was almost always resting on the hilt of her sword, whilst the gaze of her one bright emerald eye seemed to peer off into the distance, as if she were searching for something.
Smooth, tanned skin was pulled tight over light muscle. Exposure from the sun must have been a constant in this woman's life, as her fleshy color had long ago been changed into a darker hue. This made an old wound across her face very prevalent, the scar like a pink stroke on a dark canvas. This scar began at the lobe of her left year, traversing it's away upward across the cheek, past the left eye, across the bridge of her nose, and ending just before the right eye. Perhaps this would explain the black eye patch she wore, comically decorated with the classic 'jolly roger' symbol.
Mary Elizabeth's hair was red, what one would almost consider orange considering it's hue. Her hair was some what wavey and flowing but cut short, ending at the point of her neck where a man's Adam's apple would be located. The sailor often kept her hair back a bit with a bandanna which she tied around her forehead and underneath the mess.
Lips that held a feminine hint of pout were often held slightly agape in a smile, resting just below a nose that pointed upward ever so slightly and held a golden ring through the septum, brandishing a series of straight white teeth that were well taken care of. The high cheek bones and contours of her face were obvious but were not overbearing, as she was healthy enough to have flesh on her bones. Her face ended with a some what pointed chin and her head rested on a slender neck.
Although she was hardly one that tried to perfect the capabilities of her body, years of physical labor and general well being left her with an obvious athleticism. There was hardly any fat on her and small amounts of muscle were obvious in her arms, legs, and abdomen. One could imagine that she was stronger than the average woman, although it was obvious that most physically empowered men, along anyone who had truly honed themselves for combat could easily overpower her. The grace in which she moved hinted at a certain speed and flexibility which would be useful in sword fighting and parrying, however.
The clothing she often wore was plain and usually a little worn. Specks of dirt, oil, and other things could commonly be seen staining her clothes here and there, along with a few rips and tears from activity. Her shirts were often a little loose fitting, seemingly meant for a male's frame, and usually of the button up fashion. She solved this problem by either making a tie in the back or creating a knot in the front across her chest, revealing her stomach and the golden ring that went through her belly button. She kept her sleeves rolled up at all times and wore hard leather gloves that served as gauntlets when she was at work or in combat. She seemed to only have two pairs of pants, both made of a softer leather like material and seeming to be near exact copies of each other except for the color. One came in a reddish color and the other was jet black. These pants were always held at the waist by a utility belt, with the beautifully adorned and decorated sheathe of a cutlass blade hanging at the hip and to the side. Among this belt was a series of pouches and containers which held various things as well, including a coin purse, a pouch of tacks, a flask, and more.
Place of Birth: She was born and raised on a small vessel which belonged to her father, often stopping at ports all across the Scrapsea.
Status: Clean.
Weapon: Her favored cutlass, which is always at her side. It is a blade that is well taken care of and although it seems to have some age, it is beautiful in the fact that the hilt's metal is gold and down the side are seemingly expensive jewels. The number '203' is printed in small numbers on the blade's side.
Biography: Ever since she was a girl, Mary Elizabeth belonged to the ocean. Although that could be said about most people in this world, it was especially true for her. She was born on a ship that belonged to her father, which sailed the seas and went from port to port.
Mary Elizabeth's father was a jack of all trades in a sense, although he was naturally talented at sailing. The man was not vicious enough to be a mercenary and was not cruel enough to be a pirate but the ocean called to him and no job seemed to be able to keep him satisfied. The man chose to gather a small crew of friends and using the ship that was passed down by his own father, he took to the sea in search of a way to make a living.
He never had the ambition to hunt for treasure but one might have considered him a scavenger of sorts. He came upon abandoned ruins, the wreckage of ships, and ghost towns, taking what ever he could find and selling it for profit. The man used what money he had to buy inventory at one port and sell it at others. Although it wasn't stable and nothing was guaranteed, he loved his life.
When Mary Elizabeth was born, her father taught her everything that he knew. The two of them worked together in this lifestyle until the age of 18, when bandits attacked their ship. The bandits had murdered Mary Elizabeth's father, taken her eye in an ensuing struggle, and the ship was set aflame, the young sailor barely surviving and sent afloat on a broken piece of the ship's wooden frame.
Ever since she escaped certain death, the woman has been driven to prove to her father, who rest in the heaven's, that she could be the saltiest sea dog to ever grace the Scrapseas. She spent the rest of her life joining what ever crew would take her, from merchant vessels to pirate cogs. Finally, she came across another crew with great promise, claiming to seek things that no one else had ever found before, see places that no one had ever been to, and so on. Although she took it with a grain of salt and saw it as just another crew needing an extra hand, perhaps this one would turn out to be different?
Skills: Mary Elizabeth is well versed and skilled in a lot of ship knowledge. She could steer a ship through the toughest waves or tie a knot that could hold an elephant. Although she is no astronomer, she can read any oceanic tool and can navigate excellently given the proper equipment or maps. She never formally learned this information through study but rather through experience, so when working with others she can end up easily frustrated if things aren't done her way.
The woman also has a rather interesting fighting style, although this might not be considered a skill in itself. Her opponents find her to be 'unreadable', she has a wild style that results from any lack of real training. Seemingly random and unnecessary movements along with a fast pace seem to keep her foes on edge and keep them guessing.
I seriously can't wait to get started. I am very excited and hopes this jumps off the ground smoothly!
Group Name: Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists (A.U.M.N)
Group Governmental Basis: Founded on the basic principles of fascism and republicanism, the A.U.M.N has formed a system of government that mixes the two ideologies. The group functions on a single goal: the advancement of those originating from the Mars colony, no matter the expense of others. Having felt oppressed and unrepresented by the governments on Earth and with a horrifying plague advancing, the colonists united in an attempt at carving out their own power in the galaxy's weakest moments. The foundation of the A.U.M.N can be traced to it's current leader, Sir Godwin D'Agincourte. Although there is no official documentation of rules and regulations, all authority rests in Godwin's hands and thus, his word is law. Seen as a supreme leader who saved the men and women of Mars from the destruction of the Crawl through the theft and reclamation of a government station, the Mars Nationalists offer their allegiance with little reluctance. The most loyal are given higher positions of power and authority over others, which has unfortunately created a political spectrum within itself where the appointed officials are sucked into a world of intrigue against one another in order to climb the ladder and gain D'Agincourte's favor. Godwin has no clear successor but it is assumed that the high officers underneath him will vie for dominance once the time comes.
Currently, previous officers of the law on the Mars colony are seen as the A.U.M.N's military force, training more civilians to handle weaponry and face combat should the need arise. Most of the colonists give them the utmost respect and a majority of these officers are given positions of power by Godwin, further reinforcing his rule with their access to equipment and their expertise.
Group Leader: Godwin D'Agincourte. Born and raised on the Mars colony, Godwin's future was seemingly limited. Although he had dreamed of a career in the arts and had sought a higher education, his family simply could not afford the luxury of sending him to Earth or another metropolitan planet. Instead, Godwin spent most of his life as a colony police officer, following in the foot steps of his father and keeping the population of mostly miners and agriculturists under control along with the rest of the Mars security forces. It wasn't until the Great Mine Collapse, where PlexiCo's largest mining facility collapsed and had trapped over one thousand workers, that Godwin became interested in politics. While the corporations of Earth ignored the pleas for help from it's workers, the nations of Terra were too caught up by red tape to do anything. The colony of Mars watched as time went by and one by one, the workers succumbed to starvation and fatigue.
Organizing a political union of workers shortly after, Godwin worked hard at petitioning the Earth governments to grant the Mars colony independence from it's corporate contracts. The union was unsuccessful in almost all of it's attempts for years to come and the population of the red planet started to become restless as their plight was continuously ignored by those in power. Secession Day, a holiday currently celebrated by the A.U.M.N, was the day in which the workers of Mars and it's new politicians had come to the conclusion that they were a nation in their own right, and could no longer depend on others for political freedom. Deciding to strike out on their own, the Autocratic Union of Mars Nationalists was formed and officially seceded from the nations and governments that laid claim to the planet, and ignored all previous obligations and contracts to the corporations which employed and sponsored them.
Although large portions of the population disagreed with this rising movement, the A.U.M.N held various positions of power on Mars and cut those who refused to align themselves off from what ever they had originally belonged to. Despite the fact that the A.U.M.N was headed by Godwin at the time, he was mostly seen as a figurehead and adviser at the most, representing the spirit of those in the Martian plight. It wasn't until the Crawl began to tear it's way toward Mars that Godwin became something more, when he organized the raid and capture of a passing space station that belonged to the New Italian Government of Earth. Executing most of it's inhabitants, the colonists who had allied themselves with the A.U.M.N took over the station and escaped certain death, taking their families with them, and abandoning those who didn't pledge their loyalty to the cause.
Prefers peace or conflict?: The A.U.M.N's interest are of the highest priority and thus if their success depends on taking materials, supplies, or even entire stations, the extremely loyal population is willing to fight and die for the benefit their brothers, sisters, and leader, should the command be given. However, Godwin D'Agincourte is entirely willing to cooperate with other stations as long as his people benefit the most out of what ever deal is made.
Population Background: Although a majority of the station's inhabitants were simply colonist miners and farmers, a lower percentage were security forces and police officers with official training and equipment access. Seeing the possibility of rising hostility from the last survivors of Humanity, Godwin has ordered that this impromptu military force start regulating and structuring itself whilst also training other colonists for the inevitability of station based warfare.
The few Italians on board who were not executed are regarded as sub human among the A.U.M.N and are only left alive due to the interest in their knowledge. These people include the Head of Security, the Captain, Navigator, Plant Manager, and Head of Archives, along with a small number of factory workers to be used as expendable leverage. It is assumed that these men and women would betray the A.U.M.N at the drop of a hat, considering that they are prisoners. There is no doubt that they will be executed once they are no longer useful.
Greater good or self benefit?: The A.U.M.N is entirely self beneficiary.
Station's Focus: The station that the A.U.M.N inhabits was stolen from the New Italian Government of Earth. The station itself was seemingly created to serve the purpose of the military at an industrial level, the New Italians likely aiming to mass produce weaponry to fight the Crawl. The station mostly consists of factory levels, machinery, and assembly plants. Most of this is rendered useless as there are no materials on board the station. However, there are also two blueprint rooms which contain the schematics and information on how to make weaponry and armor from the Italians, a mess hall and crews' quarters for the previous occupants, and a very small armory for the previous security staff.
Items of Interest: Aside from the factory station itself, the current occupants brought with them a few things which could give them the upper hand if need be. The entire police force, consisting of thirty five men among the few hundred colonists, are each equipped with their own rifle and sidearm along with ammunition for both. However, they also brought enough sidearms to arm twenty more men and enough ammunition to last two firefights or so if all fifty five combatants are in battle.

I was wondering, will there be empty stations that the players may end up fighting for/attempting to divide? Also, will there be NPC stations run by you or anyone who might claim themselves as an unbiased GM?

I love this idea and am very much interested. I'll be throwing down my sheet in a little bit and would like to use this post as a placeholder of sorts.
