Name
Commanding Officer, Nathaniel Cook

Appearance
Nathan stands at around 6'3" and weighs close to 210 lbs. He wears white, yellow, and black armor. Without his armor, he has strong, brown eyes. He has the face of a strong man, not smiling too much but not angry either. He has a broad nose, a feature loved by most but hated by himself. His hair is jet black and has facial scruff, sometimes stubble and sometimes full.

Age
26

Gender
Male

Background
Nathaniel was born in the Market District of the Babel Space Station. He grew up watching his father work on Project Apollo spacecraft. He was smarter than most in his schooling, but slacked on work to be with friends. This angered his father, resulting in his start in the Babel Institute of Space Exploration when he was 16. Nathaniel was pushed hard, having to perform at high intelligence or risk getting kicked out. He pushed through it and eventually graduated. His father was given the honor to begin the Project Apollo flights, rewarding his son with Chief Executive. He continued rigorous training with his father and BISE to eventually become Commanding Officer after his father. After a mission gone wrong, Nathan's father was killed in action after being boarded by an extraterrestrial squad. Before his father died, he sent Nathan back to the Babel Space Station in an escape pod to survive. Once back in Babel Space Station, Nathan completed his required training and some extra courses, becoming the commander at a relatively young age. He commands the Apollo III, or the Pathfinder.

Personality
Don't let Nathan's young age fool you. He's definitely mature enough to be dubbed Commander Cook. Nathan is serious when at work, always doing what's necessary to complete a task given to him. He won't stop until he's finished his mission. However, Nathan is fun and friendly with his squad on board the Pathfinder. He has no problem with relaxing, as long as work is getting done or will be done later. In combat, Nathan is a strategist. He knows what maneuvers to do and when to do them. He doesn't necessarily have the best accuracy when in heated battles, but he can perform quite well under stress and pressure.

Equipment
Nathan wears white, yellow, and black armor. The armor was custom made by his father when he was second in command and he's worn it ever since.
Nathan uses an assault rifle in combat, upgraded to pierce kinetic barriers and light-medium armors. While it shoots laser bursts, it's susceptible to overheating when fired continuously, non-stop.

Strengths:
+ Nathan has connections throughout his father's name. This means high-tech weapons, armor, and supplies. The ship is a bit more fancy due to his father, as well. He gets some discounts from stores with certain alien races, too.

+ Nathan excels at strategic moves, both in combat and flight. Although he can't pilot the Pathfinder, he can order his pilot to do what he feels would be successful. On the battlefield, he can find weaknesses in his enemies' formations and patterns.

+ Nathan's charisma helps him in both combat and in conversation. He's been able to talk himself out of things, both with truth and lies.

Weaknesses
- Nathan can perform risky tasks and is rather stubborn at times. He's gotten himself injured when he decided to stay on board with his father. This wasn't a serious injury, but it left a mark both physically and mentally.

- Nathan has a lot of pride, unable to let his name be defaced. Along with this, his minor fame makes him hated by those that are jealous or where impacted negatively by his father's work.

- Nathan goes by his gut feeling, sometimes leading himself and his crew into danger and trouble. There have been times where they landed on a hostile planet and had to leave. Fast.

Name:
Pilot Sera Kennithson

Appearance:

Sere stands at a mere 5’0” and is the holder of a slim, almost fragile looking build – that of someone more suited to being crammed into small spaces rather than fighting on the front lines.

Age:
28

Gender:
Female

Background:
Sera was born to a mother and a father on Babel Space Station – only to be given up to an adoption agency. Her first two years were in the stations orphanage, until she was taken in by who she now considers to be her real parents – her two mothers. Apart from them being two women, her parents were fairly normal, one was a professor at the local college teaching medical sciences and the other a cook in one of the stations less popular restaurants.

Difficult is no way to describe Sera’s life, it wasn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination, but like most children she drifted through her early years without much of a thought as to the world, spending her time fascinated by those who worked on the Frigates out in the never-ending blackness of the infinite void.

When the time came to choose a career path, Sera made a rather risky choice in becoming a pilot. This wasn’t risky per se because she might end up dying in a horrifying accident. More so because that involved going into the Institute of Space Exploration. Something which, up until that point she showed no ability to be able to endure what would be needed of her – meaning she risked being kicked out and being out of a career for a while longer.

However, despite this she tackled her dream head on. And oh boy, did she endure those years. It took a while, but she turned a rate of failure around on itself and – by some miracle – managed to cling on for the duration of the training. Graduating a fully-fledged pilot. By no means a prodigy of the theory, but when it came to handling a ship she was damn good.

So there she was, a pilot through and through. Sera piloted a frigate or two for a few years, waiting until something really exciting popped up – and it did eventually. The Apollo project, where she was to become the pilot of Apollo 3 – codename, Pathfinder.

Personality:
Sera is a person of two different personalities, when she’s hanging around and not doing anything of great importance she’s witty, talkative and a positive beam of energy. People have described her as a social butterfly if they didn’t know her professionally- she always seemed to be a part of some conversation or event. Those who know Sera as a pilot and nothing else however, have come to describe her as cold, calculating and with an impenetrable exterior that makes her appear to be downright anti-social as she becomes absorbed in her work. Not that it’s a bad set of qualities to have when taking advantage of high-G manoeuvres – you don’t want to be distracted by your shipmates antics. But during the slower parts of a voyage it can prove to be an annoyance.

Equipment:
Lightweight battle armour – better suited to not being shot rather than the alternative.
A hair-trigger Sparrow Pistol – Low firepower, large magazine. Semi-automatic but a fast trigger finger can unload a hellfire of shots in a panic.
Mk3 Taurus Shotgun – Small clip, high impact damage. Shreds through flesh and armour Indiscriminately.
Pair of binoculars – Lets you see things that are faraway. Like your rowing neighbours.

Strengths:
Blink and you’ll miss it – No pilot should be slow on the mark, but precious few have the reaction times of Sera. Not that anything in space is particularly close to anything else, but Sera can confidently skim past any old asteroid in her path – and if the Kessler run did exist, she likes to think she could shave another Parsec or two off the record distance.

Good memory – Flying around the universe is difficult, as is walking on extra-terrestrial soil. You don’t just get handed a map, so you need to rely on remembering things you’ve already seen to navigate – thankfully Sera has a firm grip on this.

Ever so charismatic – Keeping people calm is a gift in itself, and it’s one Sera learned the hard way. Shouting shut the fuck up, while effective doesn’t do it’s best to distil fear in the rest of the crew when two thrusters are down and your flying blind. Having the charisma to convince everyone else that you know exactly what to do is always a big help.

Seasoned Chef – Well, maybe not seasoned in the way that Gordon Ramsay is, more so the way that your mother’s ratatouille makes her a seasoned chef. Sera knows her was around a frying pan, baking tray and just about any utensil in the kitchen. She makes good food is the long and short of it, meaning if she isn’t flying and eating in the cockpit, she’s happy to volunteer for the role of cook for the night.

Weakness:

She shoots, she misses – Sera’s aim is lacklustre, she couldn’t get a headshot if the target was sat right next to her – okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. But she certainly isn’t going to be killing anything that isn’t in a short range, hence her choice of weaponry.

“Turn it off and on again” – Sera can’t fix anything for shit. Nav system failing? She’ll reboot the crap out of it until someone who understands the systems comes around to help her. She’s also quite prone to breaking things, especially if they have a vaguely important purpose. Hence why she is essentially banned from the engine room.

Sink, not swim – Swimming isn’t something Sera does. Mostly due to her abnormal fear of water, and not in a “That’s creepy and just a little off-putting way” in the “OH FUCK WHY, HOLY SHIT TAKE IT AWAY” way. To the point that bathing is a length and difficult task, that is usually put down to wet wipes for as long as she can help it.

Tunnel Vision – While a godsend if your flying through a meteor storm without and your nav systems have broken down, it can cause issues if you become as focused on a task as Sera does. For example, if your commanding officer calls in for a change of course and you entirely blank it.

Name: Chief Medical Officer, Crysta (Cris or Crissy) Faire

Appearance: Crista has medium length, dark, jet black hair with light, sky blue eyes. She is average height for a woman, 5'8" and has a athletic build. Crista wears white armor with yellow and grayish black details. She was a calm look so she can soothe her patients with a soft demeanor.



Age: 28

Gender: Female

Background:
Crysta was born into a militaristic family as the youngest of three. Her father was a pilot while her mother was a biochemist. Being the youngest and having two brothers, Crysta was taught by each member a different thing. Her eldest brother, David, taught her minor combat techniques. Her other brother, Ron, taught her computers and programming all sorts of tech stuff.

Her older brothers were split, much like her parents when the civil war started. As the fighting continued on, her brother killed one another due to different beliefs. Crysta was not yet old enough to completely understand what had happened. But shortly after her parents began to argue. Her father sided with the CB and her mother with the others which caused problems for the young girl.

Before the civil war ended her father disappeared and she was left with her mother. Her mother continued to teach her medical procedures and bits of biochemistry everyday. Raising her to become a Medic so she would always have a job. Crysta began to shadow her mother at the lad she worked at when she was a teenager. Biology and Anatomy interested her at a young age. Crysta continued with her eagerness to learn all things scientific in school. She excelled specifically in science and mathematics. Majoring in Biochemistry and becoming a medical assistant for medical engineers on various ships. When she had proved her worth and her mentor had fallen ill their self, Crysta was scouted for Project Apollo.


Personality: Crysta is a intelligent, stubborn, social woman. Although she was raised to be a silent, responsive medical assistant she became a social doc instead. Crysta likes to talk to her patients as she works to keep them calm. She is a polite, well mannered and calm person. She has a tendency to "become friends" with her patients. As she is friendly, many come back to visit her if they can. However nice, she is a hard worker and will not let anyone down when it comes to doing her job. Crysta hates to disappoint.

Equipment: Crysta uses a Boltshot pistol- Quick fire rate, quick reload, but a hell of a recoil/kickback.
Also a M-97 Viper- semi-auto, better for distance/long range, lower fire rate, larger clip
Her armor is white with yellow and grayish black details (As seen in Appearance)- lightweight but thick

Strengths:
+ Highly equipped Medic- Whether its surgery, stitches, or any emergency first aid Crysta can perform almost every medical procedure correctly and efficiently.
+ Resourceful- When not prepared or unequipped with the correct tools, she can find tools or make tools to work as temporary replacements to complete the task at hand. As well as having observed many people in many fields and knowing basic training for a few due to her family.
+ Quick thinker- When faced with rash decisions and little time to make them, Crysta has become a quick thinker. She can think through a situation or procedure as the clock is ticking down time.
+ Calm under pressure- As a medical officer Crysta must be able to perform under intense pressure. As a result of years of training, she is completely calm and level headed in most pressured scenarios.

Weakness:
- Accuracy with a gun is faulty at best- Crysta was educated for a more science and medical related field, however she has had some, if not minimal weapons training.
- Fears silence- Complete silence means there is no thought, because in her mind for there to be thought you have to be working out the situation, therefore making some noise.
- Stubborn and likes to wait- Crysta is a patient person, usually waiting to do things until necessary. For example, if she doesn't NEED to give someone stitches she with bandage them and wait until they NEED stitches. She will be as headstrong and stubborn as she needs to to keep in her ways.
