Aww, thanks. I cut a lot of corners with that picture though, it could've looked better. I'll do a better one when everyone has claimed a face, which means I'm just waiting on @Undine, right?

Done, post away.

Ah, I didn't realise!

If it's alright with the GM I'll edit my post later today to respond to Rain before leaving the room.

So I really like the character but a lot of the stuff in the parent's tab doesn't make sense to me.

Firstly, I don't really understand why Mia's parents raised her as a normal human child when everything in the tab goes out of the way to say how scornful they are of humans and the Syndicate. Not that the scorn is a problem, the Syndicate should be full of individuals that dislike each other intensely (though still trust each other enough to work together otherwise what's the point of having them as villains when it's easier to wait for them to self destruct?) and aliens with magical powers probably would feel superior to humans, but why raise your only child according to the cultural norms of a species you consider inferior? And why hide her powers from her? I may have missed something that explains this.

Secondly, I think this sentence is missing some words? It feels like a non sequitur.

It depends on dear old George decides to offer her and her husband, because there’s no-way she’ll let a goddamn human boss around superior beings like herself

I guess it's supposed to be 'what George decides to offer' but then I still don't fully understand what's being said here. Is it that when someone in the Syndicate makes a mistake, she'll hold them hostage to it in some way?

Thirdly, why did they join the Syndicate at all? They seem to have no vested interest in their end goal and speak unflatteringly of all the members mentioned. I get the 'powerful friends are useful' logic but why would they need powerful friends when they have no agenda other than to live peacefully? They seem to have enough power that they wouldn't really need to fear anyone anyway (which I'm cool with, super-duper powerful aliens are par the course, looking at you Martian Manhunter and Superman) and they apparently have interstellar travel as well so they could outrun any enemies anyway.

I really like Mia, I just feel like her parent's (and therefore her) connection to the Syndicate side of the RP is a bit shaky.

I'm actually going to sleep now so I won't be able to respond for 8ish hours.

Liriia inspired me, when we have all the characters I'll do a version that doesn't look rubbish.

During his procedural inspection, the girl had come in and started talking. Rey? Roy? No, Rain, that's it. He shrugged. "People flap their mouths all the time, I've gotten used to ignoring it. In the end, words don't count for much. Call me Old, if it gives you any pleasure, I'll still wipe the grin off of your face when it comes down to it." he winked as he said the last part, trying to let the girl know he was (mostly) joking. Ben didn't get a lot of practise talking to young people, especially not in non-combat situations, so he wasn't entirely sure what the accepted protocol was. He went for one he knew and stuck out his hand. "If we're going to be teammates, we might as well do it properly, right? As you say, my names Ben and I'm the one who goes in first and leaves last."

As soon as Rain answered, ANDI started to speak, telling them all to go to the bridge as soon as they were equipped and ready. No rest for the wicked, I suppose Ben mused, snapping a full clip into Nessie before setting her down on a flat surface. His remaining preparations took only a few moments. He had a tactical harness that doubled up as a breastplate and could be sealed with a helmet in low oxygen situations (though he'd actually lost the helmet itself some years previously) and a pair of fingerless gloves. Low tech perhaps but the less there is, the less there is to go wrong. Trying not to feel too much like a child in a candy store, Ben selected a few of the more attractive items from the armoury (a pair of flashbangs, some tear gas, a taser-baton) and hooked them onto his harness, along with some ammunition.

All set? he thought, looking down at his beweaponed self to try and spot on anything that wasn't there but should be. Things to stun, things to kill, things to confuse, things to stab, all there. All set. Ben rubbed one hand through his beard, closed his eyes and took a moment to breathe. Sure, waking up without memories had been disconcerting and, yes, so had finding a room that seemed to have been 'decorated' by him. But if there's one thing that could concert Ben, it was a mission. Opening his eyes, he almost had to suppress a smile. Let's see what these youngsters have got, shall we?

Nodding to Rain and gathering up Nessie on his way out, Ben strode the bridge, sat down in a seat and glared at the view screen.

Sorry, been a little busy. I started on a post but then never got around to finishing it, I'll knock out a short one now.

Alright, I've shamelessly copied Silent's idea and got one for all completed characters. There's no theme in the music though, it's just a song that matches how Andy sees them or the feelings between them.

I'm thinking that, also like valve, we should have a 'delayed every time people ask about it' policy.

@Silent Observer
I don't know the song or band you used for Andy though it seems pretty on the money for him. It did remind me of a different song though, one that I think fits Andy's theme better than the one I had previously. As much as I love that song and that band, they have the wrong feel for the character. But now I have a more fitting one, linked in the profile, so thank you Silent!

I'm going to try and emulate you but it may take me a long time...
