Name: Alexander 'Tech' Tain Age: 26 Gender: Male Species: Human
Who are you?
Alexander looks like a normal human at a glance. 5'9, black hair, and an above average build. Something a bit odd for an engineer like him. His most striking feature is his eyes. Him being born with heterochromia, and his left eye is blue and his right eye orange. Making him stand out and be noticeable. Along with a scar on his neck that he tends to keep hidden. Otherwise, he is just a normal human. Wearing casual but tech-ish clothes and tends to have a pair of goggles on his person that he sometimes wears. Along with a high-tech bracer with a holographic display that he wears on his right forearm that serves as a high-tech scanner, comm device, computer, and watch. His personal creation that he always upgrades with new stuff when he can.
Alexander is a bit of an eccentric, sometimes doing things that do not make sense to others at first, and can be passionate about the things he works on. Though he can be stubborn and persistent with what he wants. Still, most see Alexander as just a passionate tech head that is able to work with others fairly easily, and that easily confuses people sometimes.
Along with being a secretive person of late because of a project he is working on and does not want people to know about what exactly he is working on. Mainly due to what the project is and is wary of imperials and people from the megacorp, Larutan Technologies. To the crew, he says it is just a pet project of his. Also, despite being an engineer and used to technology. He feels uneasy about getting certain implants or cybernetics. Mainly those that deal with the brain and refuses to talk about the subject to others.
What do you bring to the table?
Alexander is a skilled engineer whose expertise varies from general tech making to gadgets, power armor, AIs, and ships. Though making AIs is a new field and still has some learning to do. Either way, his good at repairing and maintaining what tech he knows and can be relied upon to do his job. As long as he has the parts to do his job, that is. Also, despite his tech aptitude, Alexander is a horrible hacker, and if needed to hack something, he relies on a specifically created program to do the hacking for him.
After leaving Larutan Technologies, Alexander has started to learn how to defend himself if a conflict arises. Mainly with learning how to shoot a blaster and is a good shot with a plasma pistol. Along is surprisingly good at making cocktails and tends to have some custom ones that came up with in his spare time.
What's your problem?
Everything was going well for Alexander, the son of a famous engineer and like father-like son. Alexander had proved to have the same skill with technology as his father and had already created some things when he was young. Though Alexander, unlike his father who stayed with a single company. Alexander was more independent and worked as a freelance engineer instead. Offering his services to those that wanted them, but he was rather picky about which contacts he went with. Not wanting to work with a shady company or one he was against. The last company he worked with was Larutan Technologies, and working there was a turning point for him.
Now Alexander was offered by Larutan Technologies to help with a project of theirs. A project that dealt with an experimental project, and Alexander curious as to what the thing was and not having any problems working with the megacorp. So he accepted and soon found out the experimental product was an AI codenamed Eva. Made with experimental technology, she was set to be the next stage of AIs. By the time she was finished, Alexander was chosen to be her trainer, and the two soon developed a rapport with each other.
Then one day and the details are still messy, but Eva was stolen from Larutan Technologies, and Alexander was deadset on finding her. It took six months to find her, but when she was brought back to Larutan Technologies. She was in pieces, literally. Whoever stole her for some reason tore her apart, and Eva was rendered into multiple pieces of code and personalities. Because of the way she has broken apart, Larutan Technologies deemed that she was not worth it to try and repair her. So they opted to destroy her and started fresh. Something that Alexander was against and secretly stole Eva and sent out to her repair her.
Even though Eva was written off an unrepairable product, they still did not like someone stealing from them. So Alexander departed into the Outworlds after it was discovered it was him that stole the Eva. Now he finds himself as an engineer for a ship and spends what spare time he has repairing Eva. Hoping one day to piece her back together and to speak to her once again.
Life in the crew
Alexander is the engineer of the Guernica, assigned to keeping the ship together. It was a chance encounter with the captain of the Guernica that allowed him to work on the ship and allow him to work on his project. Alexander has been apart of the crew for about three months.
Of course, they had run into trouble, Kjetil thought as he stared grimly at their animal adversary. A lone jaguar that now stands in their way and, more importantly, wants them for a snack, or what else could it want? It must be desperate for food if it is willing to take on a group unless Kjetil is either underestimating the beast or it is stronger than it seems. Either way, a beast is a beast. It is dangerous and must be taken out if they want not to die and be a feast.
Still, Kjetil's instincts are screaming at him to attack and let his anger guide him to victory. But, with no armor and wanting to keep his oath to his dead wife. He is going to try something he has not ever done in a fight. Fight with his brains and not brute might. Something he is not quite sure he can do but now is the time to see if he can do that. Especially getting out unscathed and adding to the wounds that he has already.
Then the Caelic, Lachlan, whispered about no rushing, going first, and going slowly. Kjetil silently nodded to Lachlan and watched as he went slowly. Kjetil, with axe firmly in hand and copied Lachlan's actions. Only he moved to the left and tried to maintain eye contact with the jaguar as he slowly walked. Ready to defend himself if the beast decides on attacking him or the others. Making sure not to step on a fallen branch or stick and possibly provoke the beast.
Kjetil kept his anger in check the whole time, just waiting for the right time to unleash it and end this. He can only hope that his companions, or at least the ones with weapons, do not do anything stupid and get themselves killed. A shame really to survive the ship crashing only to be brought low by a lowly beast. Time to see what his fellow survivors will do, and they can take down this beast without someone dying. Kjetil will try to make sure of that.
Iros, the continent that was once the beating heart of the known world. The homeland of civilization and many a homeland of the people of the known world.
But that was centuries ago before the calamity struck and turned this once-beating heart into a dying one. No one knows what caused the calamity or the Starfall, as some call it. Only its after-effects are known that turned Iros into a cursed land. The survivors fled to the islands around Iros, with most settling on the large Sanrath Archipelago.
This does concern you, exile. Most do not concern themselves with learning about this cursed land, for who should care about it? But it will be your new home, for there is where we send your kind. It does not matter to me why you were exiled to Iros for some crime or offense. Maybe death would have been better for you than what awaits you on, Iros. Make no mistake, exile, you will die on that cursed land, and you will be forgotten. Just like the rest of the exiles that have been sent there.
Now we are only a day away from Iros, and you better pray to what gods you believe. Since Iros will show no mercy when we throw you to the beach. So prepare yourself exile, if you can, and maybe you will last a while. Either way,
