Assuming that this takes place after the show, but before the movie puts us somewhere between late 2517 and early 2518. Correct me if you want it elsewhere, but this sorta defines a lot about what characters have been through and such. Name: Solomon 'Sol' Zhu Age: 27 Height: 5' 11' Weight: 153 lbs Appearance: Sol has long, dark hair, always kept out of his eyes. He wears silver-rimmed aviators, and a trenchcoat dyed black (those go shi Alliance would probably shoot him o the spot if it stayed its original colour). Persuasion: Independent Military Service: Served with the Independents. General Skills: Snipin' and gettin' in doors. Talents: Plays a mite of guitar Flaws: Not of the most ethical folk, he'll be thinkin' more 'bout the money than the consequences, though is loyal and won't turn coat at the sight of coin. Personality Traits: Zen as guai, which is what makes him a great sniper, and rather loyal, though it ain't always a boon. History: Born on the planet of Athens, part of the Red Sun system and an Independent planet, he soon became entrenched in the war. Though he never got a rank of consequence, he made it quite clear that he's quite lethal. Weapons - Blaser R93 LRS2 Sniper rifle (10 shot clip) - Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Center revolver (6 shooter)

First Name: Kai Last Name: Malik Age: 26 Height: 6ft 2 Weight: 185 lbs Appearance: Kai is fairly physically intimidating, with a muscular physique and dark eyes. He's quite a good looking individual with an often wry smile on his face. Persuasion: Independant (formerly Alliance) Military Service: Served the Alliance as a pilot until he grew sick of the bloodshed and went AWOL. General Skills: Kai's skills tend to be physical in nature. He's a talented fighter and is surprisingly nimble for a man his size, with lightning reflexes. He also has a mean left hook. Talents: Piloting. He's damn good at it too. Flaws: Kai freely admits that he ain't the smartest around. He's by no means stupid but anything that requires him to put a lot of thought into it? That's not Kai's area. Personality Traits: Kai tends to be fairly quiet and soft spoken. He rarely raises his voice but when he does, he's really mad. He has been known to be somewhat overconfident in himself (especially his own attractiveness) but it's a quiet confidence. He doesn't brag or blow his own horn. He also tends to take on something of a big brother attitude to the rest of the crew. He's always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on and tries his best to make sure everyone is doing good. History: Flying was all Kai ever wanted to do. He wanted to soar free. As a child he would daydream about one day becoming a pilot. So much in fact that he rarely focussed on his school work. When he was old enough and after he had badgered his dad enough, the old man started giving him piloting lessons. Kai took to flying like a duck to water. He seemed born for this. As he grew, Kai would spend as much of his free time as he could in his dads old junker of a shuttle...right up until he crashed it. It wasn't his fault though, that other ship came out of nowhere. Or at least that's what he told his dad. In truth, he had been trying to impress a pretty girl with some equally pretty flying. Eventually, a slightly more mature Kai was recruited into the Alliance military where his natural talent for piloting was put to good use. For a while, Kai loved this gig. He got to fly every day and the ladies loved a man in uniform. But then the reality of war began to sink in. Seeing people die every day...The endless bloodshed...This wasn't why he had joined up. He grew sick of seeing people die. On both sides. No longer willing to be a part of it all, Kai went awol. He ran from it all. But he was followed. The Alliance didn't much appreciate their people running out on them and eventually tracked Kai down. He was arrested and sentenced to time in prison. Kai served his time, all the while growing embittered towards the alliance for the way they treated him. But he was eventually released back into the 'verse. Since then, Kai has been wandering, trying to find his place. Trying to fly free.
