Male
CYCLE/AGE:4th Cycle / 26yo
APPEARANCE:Jackson is a lean individual with dark brown, scruffy hair and light blue eyes. He's face has the look of determination most of the time, but his nature doesn't always match it. Jackson is of an average height and built in such a way that he has a bit of body strength but not necessarily the muscles to show it. Most of his clothes are quite rugged and hard wearing due to his work on the transport Haulers with a preference towards jeans, boots and a hooded jacket more than anything else.
LUNOS:Gravity
WEAPONS:- G-633 Assault Rifle (Military Issue Edition)
The G-633 is a general purpose assault rifle with a reasonable rate of fire and readily available ammunition. The difference between the standard edition and the military version is that the military edition comes with the added bonus of full automatic and attachment capabilities, like suppressors.
- Knife
Jackson has a knife that he equips to his right ankle. It's a standard blade that is made of a mix of carbon-fiber and toughened steel.
EQUIPMENT:- Radio Equipment
Jackson owns a radio headset that allow him to communicate with other individuals in various vehicles or that are using radio gear of their own.
- Personal Lock Hacking Device
An item once acquired through the black market. The Personal Lock Hacker is a small device that has the abilities to trick the system into giving up it's codes for the user. It is often useful on devices that have Tech Lunos proof codes such as fingerprint and biometric scanners.
- Hauler
Jackson operates a standard Hauler that is owned by the company that he works for. He doesn't own it as he cannot afford it, but is allowed to opperate it through the use of a lease.
CHARACTER BIO:Jackson was born in the mid 24th Century upon Awilix. For his first life cycle he spend most of his time growing up and learning the world around him while working with his mother and father within their small robotics business. From his parents Jackson learnt most of his mechanical skills and hands on experience with all the various types of machinery around the workshop. It came as a surprise to them when they discovered he had a Gravitational Lunos considering that both of them were Tech Lunos users. Still, it didn't change their feeling for him, even when they didn't understanding the mysterious powers the comet had given the species. Sadly though, Jackson would be the last child his mother would bare as Healers and Doctors had told her that even his birth was a one in a million chance that only paid out in pure luck.
During his first lifetime, Jackson also met a girl within the city and formed a long term relationship with her. Everything seemed to go well but at the end of her cycle the worse possible scenario happened when it was discovered that her conscious wasn't on the list for a donor body due to low supply. For the last few days of her life he fought hard to save her and eventually watched her die, leaving Jackson to feel alone and as if he failed her in the worse possible way. In the end he tried to committing suicide believing he was unable to face the world again, but that was a fate he would have no control over as his mind was extracted and reincarnated into his second body.
In his second life cycle Jackson was sentenced to a life of military service, an act that was issued down by the higher ups in an effort to reform the man. During his service he would often drink on the job and dismiss the orders that he was given until eventually he was directed by his military commander to work in the mines of Husk as a part of the security division. While working there he came across an elderly lady who operated as a Gemstone collector by the name of Cerridwen. Over time he grew fond of the woman, helping her out with her work and eventually befriending her. Her life expectancy was almost up and Jackson wasn't sure if he could go through the experience of loosing another person that he cared about, to which she told him that for her, a new human body was not her only option of staying alive and that she would be able to live on through a humanoid robot.
For the remainder of his second life cycle, Jackson continued his work in the military, until the beginning of his third life cycle when both him and Cerridwen worked as cargo transporters above the city itself. The two of them worked together for a few decades but during his time he experienced some unusual pains within his body. Initial scans didn't reveal anything of note but as time went on and his health deteriorated the Healers agreed that it was vital that his conscious was placed within a new body as soon as possible. It turned out that a batch of bodies had a defect with the cardiovascular system and the pains that Jackson experiences was the early signs of a heart failure. This mishap put pressure on the production line, but Jackson's was thankful seeing as he was guaranteed a new body before the general public.
These days Jackson still works as a courier for the city and he still has Cerridwen nearby as his offsider, however his eyes are starting to shift into the black market where it's rumoured that new bodies are being sold off under a very reasonable price tag, with the added bonus of obtaining Gemstones that are cheaper than what is seen in your general dealers.
LONG TERM MOTIVATION:Jackson's current aspiration is to ensure that those around him get the help that they need. He never wants to experience the personal loss that he felt before, even if he knows that it is sometimes beyond his control. Because of this he is willing to break some of the rules and laws that govern The Landing and will even risk time in a cell to do so.

Female
CYCLE/AGE:10+ Cycles / 87yo
APPEARANCE:Cerridwen is unsure her original appearance. She believes she had red hair and freckles but cannot remember if that was her or one of the bodies that she swapped into.
As of current her robotic body is of one of the Cypher Corporation issue bodies. The female looking skeletal structure is of a mixture of titanium and tungsten, a chemical mix achieved by using the core temperature of Husk as a furnace itself. The plates of skin on her body are made of white ceramic with blue highlights, giving her a sleek look and durable surface. At the top and rear of her head the skull bones can be seen extend outwards, giving her a bit of a headpiece while sprouting some artificial hair to compliment her feminine side. Within her body as well are some light purple and blue LEDs that light up her internal structure with a gentle glow. These can be seen while she is in her awake stage with her sleep cycle turning them off in order to conserve power.
Occasionally she will wear light clothing like a silk dress in order to stand out less when in the city crowd, but will choose to stick to her robotic self when in private quarters.
LUNOS:Tech
WEAPONS:- A Modified Arm containing an Electric Shock Stick
Inside Carridwen's right arm is a long prod that extends out of her left palm, turning her limb into a dangerous melee weapon. The prod's length is about the same as her forearm and charged to deliver 10,000 volts upon contact. With each use Cerridwen needs a brief period of time to both recover and build up the required energy as it draws it's power of her internal battery. Excessive use can be quite dangerous as her auxiliaries will begin to shut down one by one, however she would have to use about half a dozen jabs in quick succession in order to begin to feel the impacts of the weapon.
- Fünzak Hand Pistol (CS45 Inspiration Model)
Fünzak weapons are designed in inspiration of the weapons from the past. The CS45 Inspiration Model takes the shape of the old Smith & Wesson variation and inserts a small electronic component, changing it to a light Gauss weapon. The results are a weapon that is easy to conceal and relatively powerful. Carridwen has her weapon stored within a storage compartment of her right thigh, allowing it to be hidden away and drawn relatively quickly.
- Enhanced Vision
Cerridwen's robotic body allows her to see with an increased zoom angle of up to five times that which is acceptable by human standards, and a spectrum range that covers the Ultraviolet and Inferred sprectum.
- Skull Based Data Connection Cord
Within the skull of Cerridwen is a data connection cord that is able to extended out of the rear of her headpiece. This cord is able to be connected to many different types of networks, granting her access to the computers and the information that they contain. Unlike the ability of Tech where the user leaves the body, this connection port still allows her full control of body. It's one downside is that she is heavily limited to what she can access through the network, restricting her to information that is only classed as visible. Information found can be synced to an internal storage system where she is able to access it later for future reference.
Most of Cerridwen's life feels like a blur to the point where living and dying almost became as routine. On some lifetimes she lived quite long, where as on others she had a relatively short life. Most of her troubles started when Lunosity's Comet passed the earth during the younger years. The effects of the comet on her young body instantly made her sterile and the dream of owning a family of her own was shattered before she even had the chance to attempt one. She survived this long knowing that humanity was setting up an expedition to go find the source of the comet and if there was a way to reverse the effects.
It was a fools chance, a trillion to one that this quest would yield results, but it was a dream she didn't want to lose and she was one of the first to line up for the large transport vessel. Over the years and lifetimes that she experienced while in space and on Awilix she began to crack from the mental pressure of living for so long and being reborn into yet another body again, and again, and again. Cerridwen began to abuse her body, selling it for sexual favours and injecting it with various drugs and chemical substances. She begin to stop caring knowing that when it became too damaged and life threatening the lab would just issue her a new one.
In order to avoid being found out and possibly terminated under the "Body Duty of Care Act: 2103", she started to perform a technique that was quite unique to Tech users called body swapping. It was a dangerous and highly complicated move that required the link between the host body and the conscious to be severed, mostly by stopping the heart while a Tech Lunos user was inside a machine. After restarting the heart, the body would become available for a new conscious, allowing any Tech Lunos user to be inserted into that body with a Charged Gemstone. Normally it was performed by shady criminals that wanted to keep their identities secret but in Cerridwen's case, she was artificially prolonging her abusive life.
In the end she made a mistake, swapping bodies with someone that had a highly wanted criminal record and was sentenced to work on Husk until her eventual death. It was there that she met Jackson and through him and his determination to protect others she began to see the sanity and light of life again. Before her death and vowing to live on, she made a connection with an old friend back on Awilix, secured a humanoid robot for her conscious to enter into.
From then onwards she stuck by the lone man looking out and helping him whenever possible. Cerridwen opened up his connections to the criminal world and the black market, allowing him to venture into areas that are seen by so few people and purchase some items that were deemed illegal or too unsafe for the general population.
LONG TERM MOTIVATION:Cerridwen simply wants to find a cure for this illness and will look into any avenues that have the chance of unearthing the secrets contained within the Lunos abilities. Finding a new body is of little concern for her at this point in time seeing as it's temptation to begin self harm again are pretty high, but when the time is right she is willing to give it everything she's got.
