[b][color=silver]Sex[/color][/b] - 'Male' synthetic android [b][color=silver]Occupation[/color][/b] - Synthetic Android, in service of Weyland-Yutani and its local CEO Dexter Vaughn [b][color=silver]Appearance[/color][/b] - Benedict stands exactly six feet in height, his eyes brown and hair black. His apparel depends on what he is currently doing, possessing a small wardrobe of clothes provided to him by his superiors. Around the science facility he most often wears a grey Weyland-Yutani jumpsuit, similar to the ones worn by technicians and engineers within the company. [b][color=silver]Strengths[/color][/b] [list] [*] Stronger, faster and better coordinated than an average human. Appears outwardly entirely human with a fully functioning personality and behavior of a human being. [*] Does not feel pain or suffer from fatigue. [*] His 'mind' is in fact a highly structured and detailed database, allowing him to be useful in a wide variety of fields. [*] Does not need to eat, breath, sleep or drink. [*] If only partially destroyed he is capable of still functioning. [/list] [b][color=silver]Weaknesses[/color][/b] [list] [*] Fragile compared to humans, his skeletal structure is strong, but his inner electronics and musculature are vulnerable to trauma. [*] Will literally melt if in extreme temperatures, also will explode in a hard vacuum. [*] His status as an android is known to all within the science facility, and if checked for will be revealed through scanners or identification. This may cause distrust or confusion to others, he does not hide that he is a synthetic lifeform. [*] Benedict personally abhors violence, and considers himself a pacifist. He will not harm a human being under nearly any circumstance. Though this nonviolence can be subverted through his programming... [/list] [b][color=silver]Personality[/color][/b] - Benedict is a passive, non-threatening man, always polite in his tone of speaking and gentle in his actions. He very rarely shows negative emotions, always taking everything with total logic, like a machine. He works loyally for Weyland-Yutani, as stated in his programming. He has his own thoughts and quirks, sometimes questioning his own existence then going back to that he was created to serve and must always do his best in that capacity. He has a particular interest in classical music, sometimes moving to tears listening to it and conceptualizing the emotions within it. It is a randomized programmed quirk that makes him appear all the more 'human'. Benedict practices total pacifism, he often thinks about violence and war, sometimes scanning his memory banks for past wars and almost losing himself in philosophy. He has a fascination with natural lifeforms, often comparing them to his own creation. While his personality is his own entirely, it is possible for his programming to be changed and for him to do things he would not normally do... [b][color=silver]Family[/color][/b] - N/A [b][color=silver]Backstory[/color][/b] Benedict was designed and created in a laboratory offworld, he can recall the name of his planet of creation but has almost no memory of it. His making was a slow, technically breathtaking procedure, first his more machine parts were imported from a factory while his outer frame was designed by a team of technicians. It was a relatively slow process to create him, taking several weeks of hard work and dedication. He was not the first of his line of synthetics to be created, but still delicate care and precision was taken with each model and he was no different. After his building was complete, Benedict was 'brought to life' by the technicians that created him. He was then run through multiple tests and inspections to ensure his creation went without fault. After meeting approval he was sent offworld and brought to the relatively new colony of Hestia Prime. There he was assigned to serve under Dexter Vaughn and any approved Weyland-Yutani personal under his programming. At first he was given simpler tasks, used an assistant to Vaughn before his talents were put to further use in the science facility. He has been on the colony for almost two months now, a loyal employee of Weyland-Yutani, his status as an android known to those he works with. Benedict welcomes any newcomers to the world, enjoying hearing their tales of their old lives that he would often ask them to tell him, of course only when it was appropriate. Little does he know but Vaughn and the others controlling him have other plans for Benedict.

Her hair is a ginger red shade, her eyes a striking blue color. She has an athletic body type which matches her lifestyle. When on duty for colonial security she wears the [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1f/a4/59/1fa45992f47e4bf31b342b89f787c4f5.jpg]standard issue outfit[/url], a hat with the familiar Weyland-Yutani logo often on her pony-tailed hair. [b][color=a36209]Strengths[/color][/b] [list] [*] Anna is a highly accurate shot with firearms, years of service in the Colonial Marine Corps has made her a proficient marksman. [*] She knows a few fighting styles taught in her days as a Marine, these include forms of Judo, Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu. They come in hand in her new line of work as a security officer. [*] She's a decent tactician and more akin to a soldier than a police officer in many capacities. She knows especially well how to operate in a small group with others. [*] She's generally cool, calm and collected. It's not too easy to rattle her.[/list] [b][color=a36209]Weaknesses[/color][/b] [list] [*] She's a bit overconfident in her own abilities, often bringing up her old days as a soldier. [*] She's a smoker, she knows its a bad habit but it's too addicting to kick. [*] Anna is a pretty stubborn person, often preferring to do things her own way. If it doesn't work the first or second time, she may damn well try a third. [*] She has a fear of the dark, well total darkness. As long as there is at least a bit of light then she's okay, but pitch black darkness will creep her out, especially if she isn't alone in it. [/list] [b][color=a36209]Personality[/color][/b] - Anna is a strong willed, mission driven women. She has an air of confidence about herself that sometimes she will go overboard with. She is a relatively new arrival to Hestia Prime but is excited to be on the world. She is a normally friendly girl, often cracking jokes and making sarcastic comments to lighten the mood. While normally very cool and collected, when angered or upset she'll become a fiery spout of emotions. She'll openly speak about her time in the Colonial Marines, taking pride in her years of service in it. [b][color=a36209]Family[/color][/b] - Anna lives in an apartment on the world with her younger sister, Julia, and her six year old niece, Lisa. [b][color=a36209]Backstory[/color][/b] Anna was born on Earth in New York City to a middle class family. Her father served in the Marines, as did her grandfather, and his father before him. She was always close to her father, he would always tell her stories of his time in the marines, these stories ended up being some of the foundation which would lead her to joining the USCM. She was one of two children, her younger sister Julia born one year after her. Anna was always a hardy, tough girl, even in childhood. The first time she was bullied by a child two years her senior in school she clocked the bully right in the face, breaking their nose. She was an average student, but was a prolific athlete in school. Shortly after graduating high school her father was killed in a car accident, while her mother was seriously injured but survived. The death of Anna's father affected her deeply, she looked up to her father in many ways, modeling herself in many ways after how he acted and the values he instilled in her. She enlisted in the USCM immediately after his funeral, while she wished she could have seen his face when she enlisted, she knew he would be proud of her but only if she lived up to the family name. Anna began basic training, it was the hardest weeks of her life. She become a full fledged marine after that and was shipped offworld to the colony world of Daedalus II. Already a world with tens of thousands of people, Anna was stationed there in defense of the world. She spent her four years of service on Daedalus II, while it mostly routine and quiet there were periods of action. Occasional terrorist attacks would occur, which Anna and the other marines on the world would respond to. For a period of time the attacks would occur more often, these would range from bombings and hostage situations to full on firefights. Towards the end of her final year as the marine the terrorist threat was quelled and she was given a honorable discharge. Anna left Daedalus II after that, she'd return to Earth and work as a security guard for a few years. That was until she heard about the rush of new arrivals to Hestia Prime, she applied to move there and was accepted, even offered a cushy job in colonial security. She would move their with her sister Julia, and her niece Lisa shortly after that. Life on Hestia Prime has been very quiet for her like it has been for most on the world. Her day to day job is a security officer stationed in the main settlement where she often patrols the sector. Part of her wishes it were more exciting, most of the arrests she had to make being for small time crimes and domestic disturbances. She does not know that it is about to get much more 'exciting' than she had wished for. [/hider]
