Awesome! Good to have you back! I hope ya are settling well to the new place.
Well I'm going to assume it's not going to be having any first class suites so... probably just bunks and not much else... Assuming that you are referring to rooms as in crew quarters.
And thus I have posted.
The Guardian's systems were failing, the main booster had refused to work for the last two hours and now it seemed like the rest were finally shutting down as well. The landing had been rough, but well executed - obviously the pilot of the battered flight suit knew that they were doing.
After a haphazard docking maneuver the Guardian's cockpit opened and a woman leaped out. The woman wore a bit battered military uniform and an overtly large trench coat which had the stylized spear emblem of the now destroyed Xian Federation on it's left sleeve. Those who had paid attention to the news a few years back could still easily recognize the Halcyon General, Ramia Zeon.
Like the Flight Suit the woman too had seen better days, parts of her face had suffered burns which hadn't gotten time to heal and the obviously bionic left eye flickered from one color to the next. The black streaks under her eyes indicated that she hadn't slept well for a long time and the noticeable way she kept avoiding on putting too much weight on her left leg made it seem like she was not at 100%.
Ramia managed a little smile as she finally reached James and Belle. "I'm late. Engine problems." She nudged her head towards the Guardian Mark IV that seemed to have it's fair share of problems stacking up over the engine ones.

Name: Ramia Zeon, the Halcyon General, former High Lady of the Xian Federation
Age: 32
Gender: female
Appearance: Ramia stands just under 6 feet. Her hair is on the darker side of brown and extends just beyond her shoulders. Ramia's shoulders are quite broad in comparison to the rest of her body. Her face is quite pretty - though the large burn marks on her left cheek mar the overall image.
Her left arm has been also burned badly and has been reinforced with a second grade bionic enhancements of sub par quality - with some of the remaining burnt tissue still visible and the fake skin peeling off here and there to reveal the metal underneath it.
Ramia's right eye still has it's icy blue color and piercing stare, but the left one has been replaced with a bionic prosthetic that occasionally flickers between green and red-ish orange.
Most distinct feature of Ramia's clothing is the gray officer's jacket of her's and a black leather trench coat that's obviously two to three sizes too large for her - so it has obviously belonged to someone else in the past.
Personality: Ramia can be at times a real pain to work with - though she adapts well to all kinds of situations she'd still rather handle things her own way. Keeping the Xian Federation in check for nearly 4 years has taken it's toll on her, making Ramia even more cold, calculating and cynical.
Deep down she is a caring person - not that she'd admit it to anyone not extremely close to her - and will put the safety and even well being of others over her own.
Strengths: Expert tactician - in both space and ground combat, charismatic leader and a very gifted speaker, is an ace pilot.
Weaknesses: Ramia is able to get very little sleep at nights due to the pain caused by the haphazardly installed bionic arm of hers, she also has a nasty habit of underestimating people based solely on first impressions.
Equipment:
Of the very few resources Ramia still has at her disposal the Guardian Mark IV Bipedal Flight Suit is perhaps the most awe inspiring even if it's missing nearly three quarters of it's armaments.
The humanoid shaped Flight Suit stands at nearly 50 feet tall and is armed with a pair of high caliber machine guns that are mounted on it's left arm - admittedly the Mark IV should have a pair of shoulder mounted missile pods, but those have either been removed or there has not been any time to actually install them. The right arm should also contain a high powered laser cannon, but judging by the very shoddy wiring and barely held up plates that has been removed as well.
The only two parts of the BFS that seem to be in remarkable condition are the thrusters mounted on it's shoulders and feet - and the cockpit situated inside the machine's chest. The Guardian's paintwork is peeling off here and there, but the stylized spear emblem of the Xian Federation can still be seen on it's chest.
Biography: Ramia Zeon was born in a space colony to a family of soldiers. Many generations of the Zeon family had been soldiers with variable success. Ramia herself showed interest in warfare at an unnervingly young age - first in simulations ofcourse, but at the age of 16 she had already taken part in her first real battle. She rose through the ranks at an alarming speed - mostly by the qualification of being one of the few remaining officers alive after nearly any conflict. At the age of 26 - to her own amazement and to the amazement of those around her - Ramia was given the title of a general, which wasn't quite unheard of, but still caused quite a fuss.
She however quickly proved that she was just as good - if not even better - at leading the troops and fighting with them on the front lines. By 27 she had earned the nickname of Halcyon General for her remarkable ability to keep her cool even under the most dire situations.
At 28 Ramia let a coup at a small colony called Xian, crushing all resistance without suffering nearly any casualties. The Xian Federation was born soon after and Ramia was appointed as the acting head or the High Lady. She spent her time playing mind games with the other main members of the coup, slowly causing infighting and making her hold over the Federation even tighter.
Some might say that she should have seen what was coming - the few remaining originators of the Federation finally saw through her plans, Ramia was deposed and - in a moment of utter imbecility on the behalf of the new leaders of the federation - actually left alive. She was imprisoned, but managed to escape by again manipulating the leaders, causing another wave of infighting.
She lost an arm and an eye during her escape and only managed to hijack a Guardian BFS instead of any of the newer models - the one she got wasn't even fully armed, but that was not the most important thought in Ramia's mind back then. The fact that she had survived was. As she flew away to relatively safety from Xian she saw under her the colony - her Federation - literally disappear in to flames.
A year has passed, some people are still wary of the Halcyon General, some say she died when the Xian colony was destroyed, but some people know better.

So, can I move my CS to the CS section and get to posting in the IC?
It's more a gundam than any of the other two.
Well I was thinking that since Ramia is really short on resources the whole damn booster system is just going go give up on her immediately on arrival - after all she hasn't been able to repair the damn thing and it has obviously been through a lot and just because the flight system seems to be in a good condition on the outside doesn't mean that it is in a good condition from the inside.
I was planning that it would be her way of more getting around - and joining with the group - than partaking in actual combat - at least at first.
Ofcourse if the group was able to eventually fix the damn thing they'd have a working - if slightly outdated Flight Suit and a skilled pilot to go with it in case they'd end up in a bigger fight that would need bigger guns.
I was thinking that rebuilding the Guardian would be a sort of a side quest, not just for Ramia, but for the more tech savvy characters, not to mention McLoyed would probably love to have something like that in his arsenal when it's back in to full operational capability.
