Grand Opening! Expanding Horizons, A Persistent World

neat

this is a neato idea

Event Horizon

@Starlance Well, if fortunes does this for fun I assume they should have enough free time to do it. It's a lot of typing but if someone enjoys typing it's not really work. I tried something like this once but it only failed for me because of a lack of personal character. Yay!

Event Horizon

Genna Wolgast

Name: Geneva "Genna" Wolgast

Age: 35

Gender: F

Profession: Electrical Technician

Nationality: European Union, Germany.

Birth Planet: Earth

Appearance: A short woman with a pale complexion and black hair tied into a professional ponytail. She has small, dark eyes behind a wiry pair of eyeglasses and inquisitive thin eyebrows underneath a large forehead. Her narrow lips complement a sharp chin. She's got an odd look about her, her dexterous fingers and small frame are engineered to maneuver into cramped spaces and fix vital systems, or at least be able to maintain the robot that goes into cramped spaces and fix vital systems. Either way works.

Strengths: Given her profession, Geneva is a brilliant electrical technician, and knows the ins and outs of the series of wires and routers that compose the stations electrical skeleton. She's also a good problem solver and can think practically. She's tri-lingual, being able to speak native German, quite fluent English, and clunky but adequate Japanese.

Weaknesses: She's athletically inept for one thing. Never been in a fight her whole life, nor fired a gun. As a normal human person, she does not show bravery in the face of danger. Because she's never been in true, immediate danger, she doesn't know it: but she's prone to mental breakdown when under immense stress.

Personality: She prefers the company of circuits, routers and automated personnel rather than actual human people. Even though she's rather amiable, a fear of being ostracized has, ironically, lead her to occasionally ostracizing herself from the ship's crew. She often is known for disappearing in her quarters for days at a time, tinkering and tweaking on various devices until she is satisfied, or until she runs out of food and has to leave. This doesn't happen all the time, mind you. This isn't a cycle of loneliness, but every few months her thoughts get all jumbled up and she has too many things to try and it just sort of...happens.

On the majority of her days though, when she doesn't live in isolation, she can be perfectly friendly, though she is quick to frustration when people don't do the things she has them pictured in her head. Why can't people read her thoughts? This is ridiculous. She can't work in these conditions! Following this train of thought usually ends with her back in her room. But like anyone aboard the station, she has great ambition and has a true wonder for the mysteries of the universe.

History: Growing up in a middle class family in Germany with ample access to education meant her affinity towards the electrical was quickly picked up on. There was no real conflict in her life- it was like she was living in a commercial. Everything was just...okay. And she was fine with that. Her parents were supportive, her younger brother was annoying, happy tears were shed when she left at the age of 28 to be among the stars and explore the Universe's far regions.

Family:
Father, Gerald.
Mother, Anna.
Brother, Adrian.

This sounds great. A lot of work was put into this, I can tell.

I'm totally up for mass PC murder.

Two people in a fight to the death. One of them has a wooden baseball bat, the other has a six inch knife. Who wins?

This is a debate that has been around since the beginning of time itself.

They are both of equal reach and skill. The knife guy is not a ninja, and the baseball bat guy is not a body builder.

Who wins?

I'm in team bat guy myself.

The Underworld and Those Who Died There: EX ANIMA

@Infamous Empath

Well, everyone here is mature enough not to troll. You'll be able to tell when people change your text, and people will not even do it. I've done this several times and it works pretty smooth. It's not like it'll be a huge party where it's anonymous and people can do stuff just because there's so many people.

I mean, you don't have to join if you're worried about stuff like this.

The Underworld and Those Who Died There: EX ANIMA

@Infamous Empath

In a pirate pad or google docs we can edit each other's words and place sentences directly in the middle, and collaborate real time. Makes for some really smooth fights and coversations with back and forths. It will be for the group, as well. I'm going to make one soon.

And yeah, like you said, that CS is going to need a little work XD
