Name: Fahim ibn Omar (or "monkey") Age: 19 Gender: Male Class: Sniper Race: Human Home world: The Legislator-23, a space station orbiting the star Taekar's Fire Appearance: At first appearance, Fahim looks exactly like his nickname implies. He is so short an average man would see right over him, not taking notice of him until they look down. This is not helped by his near-horrific spindliness, brought on by years of poor care and his own mockery of self-sufficiency. On his head lies a thick mop of dark curly hair, which also dusts his arms, legs, and chin. Occasionally, his left eye twitches from a vitamin deficiency. Former Profession: N/A. Wants to become a philosopher. Personality: Fahim, raised in a strongly religious environment, is a faithful adherent of the Mecca Faith. He dreams of learning the holy language on his sound recorder, and making the pilgrimage to Sol 3 that his caretakers had always said was mandatory. In the few occasions when he could get someone to listen to him, his conversations eventually turn to him preaching what little he knew of his faith. However, he can rarely get anybody to listen to him, and has therefore resigned himself to his largely silent life. Therefore, he could go days without saying a word, which suited both him and his former superiors just fine. History: Fahim was born on the Legislator-23, a space station system consisting of a residency and a Dyson Sphere. Both of his parents worked as mechanics, maintaining the Dyson Sphere on behalf of Dimashq Corp, a subsidiary of Steele Corp. Soon after his birth, Taekar's Fire spit up an unexpected solar flare, blowing up the Dyson Sphere and killing every worker on it. He was raised with all the other kids orphaned by the flare. The caretakers did what they could, but they had their hands more than full with all of the children. Taekar's Fire was a strange star capable of producing oxygen, and was thus inhabited with ever-flying sunflies. They were as big as dogs, and would often chew through wires along the Dyson Sphere or even attack the mechanics. Steele Corp always supplied the station with rifles to clean out infestations of them, but since the flare, they have shot up in number. The older children, Fahim included, had to take the abandoned weapons and protect the younger ones from being carried away. Most of the surviving adults were chaplains, many graduates of the Medina School of Philosophy on Sol 3. Because of this, Fahim was enraptured with his vision of the Medina School, and the moment he saw a ship heading in that general direction, he stowed away and offered his services at a very low rate, though not before stealing a smattering of things from the Legislator. Primary: An old Steele Corp Projector, a light sniper rifle that fires lead bullets. Secondary: N/A Melee: A heavy wrench Equipment: A watch set to Earth time. The above-shown heavy wrench. A sound recorder with a few sermons saved on it, all in a language he doesn't understand (Arabic).
