[Lennon79]

WIP

Name
Captain Aoife Conroy

Age
27

Gender
Female

Appearance
Despite her short stature and petite build, Conroy's eyes carry a spark of daring and can be surprisingly intimidating for the unprepared. She is normally found in her usual corporate attire, a severe looking grey suit and trousers accented by a plain white shirt. She has also taken to wearing the skipper's cap on occasion, although she is still adjusting to the role.

Species
Human, Tyran native

Rank/Specialism
Captain

Skills
Trained at the prestigious Imperial Military Academy on IV Arno, Conroy is an outstanding tactician and commander. Her training covered everything from the mathematics of unaided gunnery, through counselling upset subordinates, to personal combat with knife and rifle, making her the best possible candidate for her intended role as the ship's Executive Officer. She is less prepared for Captaincy however, having never seriously expected to command her own ship. Many of the other skills required of a captain, such as diplomacy, foresight and a head for business are sadly not in her repertoire.

Personality
Aoife is an expert at hiding her true emotions and projecting an impression of complete calmness and control at all times. She is also blessed with nerves of steel and a certain stubbornness that her instructors could never beat out of her, making her a dangerous woman to cross. Under the calm, professional exterior hides a much more conflicted person, unsure of herself and frankly terrified of the responsibility laid before her. Aoife is deeply patriotic and political, believing that her parent corporation's methods and policies are inherently superior; if engaged in a political debate, she will quickly overwhelm the opposition with reasons as to why corporate meritocracy is the ideal system. To those who are more friends than co-workers, Aoife is more honest about her insecurities, allowing them to manifest as a deep-seated cynicism.

Bio: Preferably at least two full paragraphs.

Other
Aoife's rage button is pronouncing her name wrong.

Jack

Name: J-12, Jack
Age: 4
Gender: Uses Male pronouns

Appearance: Jack's hologram form is exactly like his hard case unit save for the fact that it is see through, orange, and about six inches tall. In reality he is just data and has no form but you could say is "true" form is a titanium box deep within the ship.

Species: Artificial Intelligence

Rank/Specialism: First Officer
Skills: Jack is a military AI meaning he came jam packed with skills to assist him in his role as First Officer. Not only is he an adept pilot but he also fills the role of electrician, mechanic, and soldier when the need arises. However he really shines in cyber warfare. Flooding a ships system with viruses and malware, venting oxygen, data mining, and shutting down shields are his specialties.

Personality: Jack is an oddity compared to his other siblings in the military. While he has the basic necessities of a military AI like punctuality and complete dedication to his job but somewhere down the line he began to feel more than them. He has a dry, sardonic humor and doesn't appreciate when people waste his time. Jack has also gotten into giving people nicknames, usually unflattering ones until he decides he likes you. Finally, Jack will take any excuse he can to be inside the H.C.U. As far as life goes, humans in particular, people tend to take for granted things like touch, taste, and all the senses in general.

Bio: There isn't too much to tell in the life of Jack, at least not yet. In the grand scheme of things, Jack is just a newborn. To create a real AI takes time, around three years under normal conditions. In his creation Jack was drip fed mountains of data, molding him into something very similar to a military AI but somewhere fundamentally he was not and he has always known it. It made him isolated in a way as he couldn't be as serious as the other military AIs nor could he care as much as the more domestic AIs. The odd man out, so to speak.

More than anything this isolation framed his personality, giving him a slight mean streak against humans and AI both. This mean streak persisted strongly until he was placed onto the ship, the only place that felt like he belonged. While brief his time has brought the better out of him, causing the mean spirited AI to soften up a bit as he found his home.

Other:
-Jack has no ill feelings towards aliens and in fact views them on the same plane as long as they do their part.
-Detests the term "computer" and being bossed around like a simple VI, Jack may be made out of data but he is alive and his life is just as valid as anyone else's.

'Sophie'

Name: Zshonzee Chal'vok Bradzevon, nicknamed herself 'Sophie' when she settled on Tyra.
Age: 36
Gender: Female

Appearance: At 5'11" in height, Sophie is considered slightly shorter than your average Vannertha.

Species: Vannertal

Rank/Specialism: Chief Engineer

Skills: No formal education but has a strong understanding of spacecraft and their inner workings. Able to adapt repairs or functions of ship equipment when needed.

Personality: Sophie is a common Vannertal; unsurprisingly sociable and hardworking. She takes her duty seriously but tends to make a joke in most situations. Sophie will usually try to be positive in difficult situations, believing a solution can be found or made. If trapped and powerless, however, she may react out of fear.

Bio: Born on a spacecraft by loving parents during their years outside of Yamathray, Zshonzee was one of a growing number of Vannertal who were born outside of their home system. Her father was a planetoid researcher while her mother was a member of security aboard the ship. Zshonzee spent over 20 years of her life on that ship, taking up an interest in mechanics and learning what she can from one of the engineering crew. At the age of 22, a pirate attack ended up in the capture of the vessel, along with it's crew. Those that lacked any kind of skill or value were executed on the spot, her father being one of them. Those that remained were sold to slavers, Zshonzee and her mother included. Within a month, the slavers sold Zshonzee to another group of pirates for her engineering knowledge, separating her from her mother.

During her time as a slave, Zshonzee learnt the cruelty that humans can possess; seeing settlements demolished for their loot, people being killed for sport and how quickly betrayal was used. For the sake of her own survival, she complied with her masters' orders as best she can. She kept the ship running in spite of the lack of tools, the occasional change of leadership and constant scorn and abuse she experienced.

After 9 years of this, the pirate ship was boarded by the Tyran Space Guard and Zshonzee was finally freed. With no-where to go after the rescue, she managed to find a place of work at a local Tyra shipyard and helped with the repair of damaged ships. It was at this time she started to call herself Sophie, to make her name easier to remember for her co-workers.

Due to her experience as a slave, Sophie excelled in repairing vessels when it was deemed too difficult or even impossible. She quickly gained higher positions in management and helped with constructing ships as well. After 5 years of hard work, she was offered a Chief Engineer spot upon a newly crafted ship, that she helped make. She willingly accepted, eager to see more of the galaxy.

Other: Though she has never seen her home system, she has a loyalty to it and her people. Also, she tries to hide the fact she was in fact a slave only a few years ago, feeling a sense of shame from it and wanting to forget the memories.
