ACCEPTED CHARACTERS:

Name: Freja Baldur

Appearance:

Race: Felisian

Age: 26

Occupation: Investigative Journalist

Backstory: Freja survived the War thanks to her job as an investigative journalist having been off-world on a shuttle transporting a small handful of survivors from one of the destroyed colonies. When they got word that their destination, their home planet, was destroyed, they simply drifted and she retreated further into the job to act as a cushion from the pain of losing her entire planet and deal with the fact that she was part of an endangered species. She eventually wound up on the Unification like many of the remaining Felisians, though she was drawn to the prospect of work, getting a job with one of the bigger, non-military news networks on the ship. She didn't move in New Liarel, instead living in a nice area on Domestic Level 7, near the shuttle port so she can get around the ship easily.

She will remain professional when dealing with Canis while on the job, but she keeps her distance from them at other times. She doesn't hate the Canis, not like most Felisians... but she does hate those who are former Imperial Military.

The Curious fascinate her and she's actually teamed up with one who serves as her partner, equal measures digital recorder and computer for putting together the articles to submit to the station along with video camera. She hasn't met many other curious, but she gets along just fine with Tuna (She's still incredibly confused by how he came up with that name).

She doesn't have a strong opinion of humans in general or even the about the two factions in general, though she finds the idea of psychic powers to be both incredibly creepy, and useful for a job like her's. She thinks the same about augmentations, but she's heard too much about augmentation addiction to risk anything more than a simple micro-com in the ear for calls.

Oddity: She only has a minor augmentation in her ear functioning like a hands-free phone for convenience. She always has her partner, Tuna, with her, the foot tall Curious acting as her partner.

Name: Telisya Nickholai

Appearance:

Race: Human of the Sol Republic

Age: 16

Occupation: Home-schooled student

Backstory: Telisya was born on Earth, Moscow to be exact, and is the half-Russian/half-Chinese daughter of Councilor Chóngdé Nickholai, her mother and the Sol Republic's voice on the IGA. Her late father was a scientist famous for his work on the science of augmentations and robotics. Telisya is looking to be every bit the genius he was, already having made further breakthroughs in her short time involved in the science of robotics, AI, and augmentations, though she sees it as art, not just science. She lives on Domestic Level 1, the finest level of housing, just as all members of the council and high-ranking officers live, and has been home-schooled all her life.

She doesn't really have a strong opinion about Canis, Felisians, or even members of the SU. All she cares about is her 'art'. The Curious though... she doesn't really see them as other people, but as a scientific wonder that she wants nothing more than to take apart and see what makes them tick, both with the hardware, and do the same to their AI core.

Oddity: Despite all her work with augmentations, she doesn't have any herself, not even minor ones. She is odd though in that she only ever works with pencil and paper instead of data pads, unless doing work with software in which case she has a very intricate VR set up at home. She also has a love of carrots, but hates sweets.

Nicknames: Fang, Wild, or Hunter
Race: Canis
Age: Thirty-seven
Occupation: Bartender
Backstory:

Fang is from a pretty accepting part of the ship. Although he lives with his canis kin, he doesn't spend a lot of time there. In fact, he works as a bartender for the humans on Thursday through Monday nights. Even though he's of fur and fangs, he has always gotten along with the humans, finding them very similar to he. He often talks about wars and battles when he's serving drinks, which tends to be a thing of interest for the humans. His best friend is actually a human and he's often seen out with him on nights he's not working. Aside from that, Fang also plays cards with a group of humans, often times winning because he can sense a bluff just by the sweet scent of their sweat.

Because of this mingling with outsiders, some of his canis breed aren't too fond of him, but they know better than to mess with the trained hunter. He keeps to one of the more open sections of his kind, the one that's full of children and nursing women. Some find him perverted for living with kids and pregnant women, but Fang finds them easy to get along with because they're so innocent and focused on life.

With regard to the other two races on the ship, the Curious and the Felisians, Fang has little interaction. From time to time, he does converse with some Curious at the marketplace, finding them innocent and relaxing. At one point he was dating a Felisians, but as soon as word got out, she was beat so he ended that relationship. He's now a loner, but still hopes that maybe one day he can reconnect with his kitten counterpart.

As far as surviving the war goes, Fang was a large part of it. There's a reason his kin don't mess with him. He was right up there in the ranks, serving and working for some of the top dogs in his field. Fang started as a foot soldier but was soon promoted to a spy. He served as a spy for a year and eventually asked to be "demoted" back to his ground soldier position. It wasn't long after that when the war ended and Fang found refuge on this floating ship. Although most of his comrades perished, a few of them still hook up on Wednesday nights for a good game of darts and shots.

Oddity:

First and foremost, Ye Fang is an African Hunting Dog, which in and of itself is pretty rare. Second odd thing about him, both his right arm and right leg are mechanical. Yeah, there's fur covering it now, but if you put away the fur, you'll find he's got mechanical limbs on the right side.

Another oddity is that Fang's attracted to Felisians. He obtained this attraction when one decided to tend to his wounds. He had gotten into a bar fight and this one kitten noticed him limping back home. Out of the kindness of her heart, she mended him up. Since then, he's had a different outlook on the cats.

Nickname:
Az

Appearance:

Race:
Curious

Age:
Looks about 20 to humans, but has only been in use of her body and off world for about 4.

Occupation:
Her primary objective is as a "Gatherer" meaning, she learns all she can, gathering information on anything and everything, to take back home.

Backstory:
Not much is known about Azalea, as is common with her people. She has always shown a high curiosity for people and for knowledge. She boarded the ship not to long ago, in order to do some reaserch on the people living within. She is one of the few who seem to fit in flawlessly with humans. She looks like a beautiful young woman about the age of twenty. Though her physical appearance does give away a more mechanical nature. Her body is made of sleek black metal, that seems to never scratch or lose its shine. Her right arm has a white glove like addition, along with a gold, pink and red wrist accent. A similar wing like skirt adorns her hips, while a similar visor like helmate adorns her head. Although she is peaceful in nature, she seems to understand the need for protection, and is fully equipt to handle battle, though it is only a last resort.

She shows an affection towards most creatures and people. She has a kind and generous nature, she is not one to typically turn down someone who is in need of help. She does not seem to like violence, even though she is equipted for it and able to handle herself. She is more interested in gathering knowledge, and learning all that she can about people and anything really. She has spent time looking over the ship, and people. She has decided to remain onboard, and spend time among them in a more intamit way, in order to learn more about them. Many are not to sure about her, due to the mysteries about her kind, as well as her intrest and dealings with many of the other races. She is curious to learn more about why people are so controversial about allies and such.

Oddity:
She has a deep love and intrest in butterflies, which is a huge influence on her appearance. She also has adapted a love and tallent for singing.With her body being fully equipted for potential battle, many wonder where she keeps the weapons on her slender figure.

Name: Zhanshi Lang (Zhan)

Appearance:

Has, a bionic eye that when not needing it during combat, wears a leather type eyepatch. Decorated with his former squads ensign, a canine tooth biting into a planet.

Race: Canis

Age: 32

Occupation: A security consultant to the I.G.A

Backstory: Zhan lives in a small apartment in a maintenance quarter, it's not officially a habitat area, but many shanty style buildings have appeared and individuals, either the ones that are poor or low lives and fugitive criminals or refugees live amongst the squalor and disused cargo containers. He keeps himself to himself, often off ship for long periods of time. When he is aboard he keeps company at several of the more shadier bars that have been established a den of smugglers and thieves.
Zhan was a previous member of the Canis Imperial Special Forces, and was a loyal and highly decorated soldier, he had several commendations for combat against the Felisians, and seems to have an enmity against them. But strangely soon after the destructive assault on the Felisians home world, he went AWOL from the Canis military, and aided the I.G.A in the disarmament of the Canis Forces.
Keeping himself to himself, it appears that he doesn't have any particular friends but often talks with a sleazy human inn keep, and seems to at least tolerate this man known as Squidie.
He never seems to have any money problems in fact despite living in a practically run down shack, he gives large donations to certain charitable organisations on board. And has been seen transferring large sums of credits to either Squidie or other humans, sometimes for no obvious reasons, sometimes in exchange for rare or valuable liquor, and whiskys or cigars and other substances from across the galaxy.

Oddity: Although Zhans name may be known to those that have a good degree of knowledge of the wars between the Canis and Felisians, since many former military are adorned with scars at least, not to mention limbs and appendages injured or missing replaced by bionics. He probably couldn't be picked out by anything except perhaps his eye, though still not that uncommon. But one of his canine teeth, his upper left is noticeably longer than the right, and the right being also chipped that leads to contast the difference even more.
During the later battles after Zhan lot his left eye, he would wear a bionic that would have a protruding ring of blades that made him infamous, although after demilitarisation he tends to only wear his leather patch.
