Like most members of her species, she is spindly, with pointed ears and jewel-tone eyes too large for her face -- in her case, violet. Originally cave and forest dwellers, Tevranians have excellent vision even in the darkest places. Her wings allow her not true flight, but the capability to glide easily from high places. When not in use, they fold down against her back, looking almost like a cape. Her uniform is specially modified to be open across the back, so as not to interfere with her wings. [/color][/indent][/indent] [color=mediumpurple][sub]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent][color=lightgray] Rhylaen is a sweet person, except when it comes to matters of the Cruxi. For them, she has a fierce hatred. She likes making new friends and is extroverted, but her less-than-complete understanding of human customs sometimes gets in the way. She finds human communication to be limiting, since they can't pick up on the telepathic component Tevranians use to share emotions and experiences. It's lonely in a way that is hard for her to articulate, and sometimes she feels isolated. Still, her wanderlust and curiosity do a good job of balancing out those negative feelings. Rhylaen is fiercely defensive when it comes to those who cannot defend themselves, and opposes bullies wherever she finds them.

Her childhood was normal for one of her kind, but she was dead set on attending an offworld school for her later studies. She originally wanted to be a xenobiologist and sign on to an exploratory space mission for the Galactic Federation, and her best chance of that was to go to one of the hub worlds, where the best schools were located. Tevran is a fairly backwater planet, after all. Four years ago she took the entrance exam to a prestigious school and was accepted. Despite the difficulties posed by moving offworld and interacting almost solely with people not of her own species, Rhylaen thrived in her new home. She kept tabs on the war, given that her system was near the outer rim, but it always seemed so far away -- until two years ago, the worst happened. The Cruxi invaded Tevran, swiftly overpowering the planet's defenses and capturing its populace. Faced with the loss of her entire world, Rhylaen switched career tracks to a military role, wanting revenge. She proved a quick study, and a talented Framewrek pilot. Due to her skill and dedication, she was selected to join the experimental unit at Fortress Ship Solaire.

With his blond hair spikey and dyed sky-blue, he tends to stand out in a crowd. He has light brown eyes, a squarish jaw, and an easy smile. He is always clean-shaven, and his stubble is light, making it less visible. His taste in clothing runs to graphic tees and jeans, when he's not in his pilot's uniform. He's on the taller side, just shy of six feet, and in good shape due to his dedication to exercising. [/color][/indent][/indent] [color=lightskyblue][sub]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/sub][/color][hr][indent][indent][color=lightgray] Sparks is outgoing and friendly. He has an easy laugh and an easier smile. He does love a good prank, though he's too polite too play any himself. He's a nerd and a geek, and wears these titles proudly. He has an even temper, and prefers to let things go rather than argue over them. One of his pet peeves is people that think they know what they're doing when they clearly do not, especially when it comes to electronics and technology.

His parents had good jobs, and while the war was always on his radar, it wasn't an immediate concern. In school, Sparks excelled at math and did decently well at most other subjects. He found his passion for computers and robotics early, and his parents encouraged this interest. His way with machinery and technology naturally lead to a career in Framewerks, where his skill at programming and repair gained him the attention of a military recruiter. With his sister already fighting the Cruxi, and pressure put on him by his parents and peers, Sparks is a reluctant soldier, but still determined to do his best -- and hopefully survive whatever the war throws at him.

She was listed MIA, presumed dead, three years ago.

If so, might Sparks have either programmed or gained access to one? EDIT: fixed the image links, rip me. [/quote] The description for Sparks is quite hot-blooded shonen protagonist, which is fitting, hah. The robot design is quite ethereal, which does fit a non-physical combat role. Both sheets are accepted. Yes, a number of AI templates have been created and utilized in various fields. Most of them are incidental worker drones without personality, but there are also [url=https://i.imgur.com/Szjiw1m.jpeg]sentient robots[/url] called Lilim that derive their source code from Lilith, a supercomputer developed during the Cruxi war: these generally work more closely with humans. There's also AI developed for drones and even subsystems of Framewerks. Attempts have been made to automate Framewerks with an installed AI, but the results have been lackluster compared to biological pilots, especially due to their inability to Synchronize. Yes, Sparks could have made a custom AI for his drones, for example, though it did need to be accepted by the Galactic Federation program before deployment.
