=== LEADER === NAME, AGE Arisia Bakari, 26 Motto/Saying What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. PICTURE (NOT REQUIRED) [hider=Picture] [img]http://coolvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/3D-Art-Yichuan-Li-Emergency.jpg[/img] [/hider] APPEARANCE Arisia is rather short and petite, giving her a “damsel in distress” look, even though nothing could be further from the truth. She prefers wearing a combat suit and never goes anywhere without a gun and a knife. PERSONALITY Arisia is very friendly and outgoing, especially with the common people – miners, workers, soldiers. She might be a bit impulsive, but her good intuition and quick decision-making rarely lets her down. She is no stranger to diplomacy, but tends to rely on her military training when diplomacy is about to fail. BIOGRAPHY She was born into a wealthy family, yet nothing was given to her for free. Always in a shadow of her older brother, she tried to do everything to impress their father. She went through the best schools, or, in her case, suffered through the best schools would be more appropriate. She always preferred to run outside and fight with her friends rather than quietly sit and study. Even though she disliked school, she finished it, because her father wanted her to. Even though she didn’t want to live the “high society” life, she frequently visited banquets and various business meetings, because her father wanted her to. The older she became the more she realized that no matter what she does, she will always be the second, long way behind her brother, so she stopped trying. Suddenly, she was free to do whatever she wanted. She traveled a great deal, working on her father’s mining stations with common miners, getting a military training and briefly working for a mercenary organization. After a few years she got back in touch with her family. Surprisingly enough, her father was rather impressed by her “rebellion” and offered her a job running small mining operation on a planet with very hostile environment. Arisia did an exceptional job there and, against all odds, managed to start a smooth and successful operation. Ever since her father offered her to lead the colonization expedition to Calypso Major, she has been putting together a team of reliable and trustworthy people. === FACTION === NAME Bakari Mining Guild TYPE (NATION/CORPORATION/INDIVIDUAL/OTHER) Corporation primarily focused on mining and associated technologies. FACTION LEADER Devan Bakari DESCRIPTION OF LEADER Even though Devan inherited the family company from his father, doesn’t make him any less capable and fearsome leader. He is smart and well-educated, but furthermore he possesses a trait every leader should have – he is an excellent judge of character. That allows him to choose his companions carefully and avoid unpleasant surprises when dealing with other factions and corporations. It is also the reason why he chose his daughter Arisia to lead the mission on Calypso Major over her older brother Wes, who is to inherit the company one day. Devan appreciates her intuition and ability to make right choices in unexpected circumstances. That, and also interstellar traveling and planets colonizing isn’t without a risk – and who would want to lose his heir when he has a suitable, expendable replacement? DESCRIBE THE FACTION. MAYBE INCLUDE HISTORY, REASONS FOR COLONIZATION, ETC Bakari mining guild history spans over several generations. The company originally started as a small mining operation on an insignificant asteroid with large deposits of Edritium and Casmal. At the time, these materials were mostly ignored, because while they had some good use in electronics, obtaining them from raw ores in sufficient quantity and stability was very hard and expensive. Founder of the company, Alex Bakari, realized the potential of the ores, and even though all advisors told him to invest his last money to try to get better mining grounds, he paid researchers and scientists instead. And in a year, he could completely revolutionize mining of these ores by a patented new method which is still used even today. From that time, every generation of Bakari family added something to the company, leaving it one of the biggest players in the mining market of today. There is also a long tradition of funding various researchers in their private research lab. Money from patenting new technologies are a big addition to the company wealth.
