- Sexuality: I like women.
- Height: 5'8"
- Eye colour: Green
History:
- Planet of birth: Regina
- Family: Greg Sellars (father), Sarah Conner (Sister)

- Criminal record: Served with the Browncoats
Biography: Born in the town of Paradiso on the planet Regina in the Georgia system to two indentured servants that worked for the owner of the local mine. His dad accidentally killed a man in a bar fight and his mom stole jewelry from a rich person on Persephone, so they received 30 and 10 years respectively. He grew up hating that life. Though his mom's contract ended when he was eight, she was stuck working in a bar to support them, as his father still had 15 years to go.
They found out when he was young that he had a knack for fixing things, and Jimmy even got a job working for a local mechanic as a teenager. Then the war happened and the money and excitement were too much for him to resist, so he signed up with the Independents, never really liking the Alliance.
Because of his Boden's he couldn't fight on the front line, but because he was good with machines he was accepted as one of the mechanics, where he fixed equipment for many of the regiments.
Wen the war ended he traveled around a bit, taking odd jobs fixing things. He never went home, as he didn't want to be around that life again, but he did move to the Georgia system, where he could look up at the other planets at night like he did as a child.Recent events: Takes odd jobs fixing equipment. Has been trying to avoid criminal activity, out of fear of being Indentured like his Father.Other important notes: Worked for the Independents fixing their machines.

- Full name:Winston Soris Rutherford the Fourth
- Age:34
- Sex:Male
- Sexuality:Straight (mostly)
- Height: 6 feet 1 inch
- Eye colour:Green
History:
- Planet of birth: Albion
- Family: Father, Mother (deceased), Brother (Older), Brother (younger), Sister (Younger)
- Occupation: Captain, Pilot
- Academic qualifications: Bachelor degree in Linguistics, Alliance Military Training, Alliance Espionage Training, Alliance Special Operations Training
- Criminal record:Redacted
Biography: Born the second son of a long time Alliance loyalist government official on Albion Wyn was expected to take on a position within the Alliance military while his older brother remained at home to be groomed for his father's position. Shortly before the war with the independents Winston signed on with the Alliance. Leveraging his father's position Winston was fast tracked to a position within the Alliance Officer academy. Following a brief stint in communications for the Alliance, Winston’s talents proved that he belonged elsewhere.
After being transferred to the Alliance Special Operations Academy on Osiris Winston was quickly sent back to the front as part of a special operations team which saw action everywhere from Boros to Verbena. Winston’s group of operators was designated a problem solving task force and operated on request from the local front commanders or on direct orders from Alliance High Command.
With the conclusion of the war Winston quickly put in for his final pay out and discharge from the ASO even though with the conclusion of the war the ASO became an independently functioning branch of the Alliance Military. Shortly thereafter the originally Major Wyn became Captain Wyn with his purchase of a Lakota class space transport which he christened Hathor.
Recent events:
Winston had a falling out with his father about six months ago and as a result is almost completely separated from his family. It's assumed that the fight was the result of something to do with Wyn leaving the ASO.
Personality:
Likes
- Wyn spends a decent amount of time working out and keeping his skills sharp. It's largely a habit held over from the time with ASO but it keeps Wyn sane. Everyone can tell when he has missed his morning routine because he turns in a ln abrasive ass.
- Literature. Particularly writings from earth that was and in a variety of languages though new age works of fiction and history hold his attention periodically. Most of the wall space in his quarters is taken up by book shelves.
- Cooking. Of all of Wyn’s penchants cooking is one of the particularly useful ones. His crew and before them his squad with the ASO benefitted with it.
- Alliance Brass. While Wyn has no quarrel with the Alliance per se however; his opinion of the officials who were giving him orders during the war is not high
- Feds. Another unusual dislike given that Wyn is still in relatively good favor with the ASO. Captain Wyn’s problem with Feds is there need to only enforce laws that are favorable to them or are only for the good of the rich and connected.
- Gambling. Wyn hates bets and playing the odds since the vast majority of his life has been nothing but calculation. This dislike is also rumored to stem from Wyn abominable luck at any sort of game of chance.
- Sagacious, no one could ever accuse Wyn of not thinking
- Stoic, have you ever been shot? The ability to keep going is what Wyn has in spades
- Stubborn, an unfortunate flaw given his previous work
- Blunt, another unfortunate flaw which often leads to less than savory confrontations

Karen White
Doc:
Details:
- Full name:Karen Starchild White
- Age:27 (maybe cause she’s not so sure)
- Sex:Female
- Sexuality:Questionable though assumed Bi
- Height:5’ 10”
- Eye colour:Dark brown
Her choice of clothing is always brief sometimes only boxers and a sports bra
History:
- Karen White was born aboard a Liner named the Legend of Mercy which was run by a crew consortium of which both her parents were members and it is for that reason she always answers that she doesn’t have a home world just a home. Raised aboard a ship she could have become a pilot, engineer or purser but instead she formed a friendship with the ship’s Doctor and became his Helper because he couldn’t refer to her as a nurse because she had no formal schooling. She would have thrived and perhaps even been sent to school at one of the big medical tech schools if the war hadn’t broken out and while on Athena the Purple Bellies killed because he had been treating the wounds of two men while hostage to their friends. (I can’t see more than that being known about this event in her life unless people ask)
- Planet of birth: No Where
- Family:None that any know of or that she speaks of
- Occupation:Emergency Medical Technician to the Purple Bellies and Quack to the Desperate and what she good at fixing is people in a desperate situations
- Academic qualifications: None that you could prove except an equivalency test score that rated her as an EMT and made the testers think she cheated.
- Criminal record: 1 charge unproven of Practicing Medicine without a proper License
2 Charges of public Nudity
1 Charge for shall we say public display of affection with two friends
It was Doctor Wilson’s death that turned Karen into a Browncoat because she had been there as well and watched the whole thing. She had traveled out to a recruiting station she’d caught wind of and offered herself up as an Infantryman but the recruiters asked her a few questions about her skills and what she’d been up to till she fell on their lap and when they discovered that she was a medical helper they immediately sent her to a sort of school that trained combat medics. Naturally the absurd nature of the Verse decided they were taking too long and shortened the training by throwing several nasty battles at the Browncoat forces that chewed up the previous graduates quickly because the Purple Bellies had targeted them almost as much as the had anyone in command. The initial rush of students for this profession quickly trickled off due to the two factors of most Medics having very short lifespans and the caliber of troop intelligence declining because the smart people had already decided to lay low and just hope to survive the war as a neutral.
Karen was forced into more and more technical roles because of a rapidly growing shortage of trained doctors to do the job till eventually she was the closest thing her unit had to a Doc and they were grateful to have her. Even lacking any formal schooling Karen was known to keep most of her patient's breathing if they still had most of their parts and even if they didn’t. (This is all anyone really knows about her service because she doesn’t speak of it to anyone or maintain contact with anyone she may have served with)
Karen was one of the lucky ones when the war ended because she was still breathing and as a primary medic considered no threat to the Alliance who never even took her into the holding camps that they took the others into basically throwing her out on the street with nowhere to go.
Like all those others who’d been on the wrong side she was forced to do whatever was required to survive and had to resort to becoming a Quack Doc who practiced medicine on people that couldn’t afford a real doctor
