Characters:Gaia name: Ravic
Character name: Victor BregginRace: Human
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Appearance: Approximately six-foot three, the man wears a simple dark-brown jacket, a pair of durable black pants and a pair of thick dark-brown boots. His left hand is completely cybernetic and it is through this that he recharges his implants when it is necessary. Having no hair, he instead has a thick metal plate installed on the back of his head, with an implant that reaches deep through his left eye-socket. His vocal-chords damaged as a result of an infection, his real voice is very raspy and is consequently electronically aided by an implant in his neck. So as to avoid detection as a cyborg the man wears a large pair of mirrored sunglasses, an old dark-green tuque and a pair of black gloves that are tied around his wrists to stop them from falling off. So as to avoid detection by anyone that doesn't know his condition he tends to keep the voicebox that makes him speak normally turned off.
Personality: Victor isn't the nicest of people. He tends to keep mostly to himself and sometimes even carries detailed conversations with himself while working. His condition makes him avoid even trying to make friends, and his respect is hard to earn. He is however incredibly concerned with honor, something that he considers to be one of the last things that actually matters.
History: Victor grew up underneath the Vauren regime. He led a relatively unremarkable life, just like all of the other children. His chosen career path along the lines of science, the man didn't really react to the rebellion until it became painfully obvious that a side had to be chosen. Before he had the chance to make a choice he was the recipient of a virus introduced by the Vaurens to the population about a month into the rebellion.
Most Humans were unaffected, but Victor got infected by that which was affectionately named: 'the gift'. The virus begins by slowly decaying the inside of the body, the later stages resulting in the loss of body parts and death. Victor was dragged to a hospital by a friend and several doctors spent sixteen hours straight working on him. It was there that the choice was made to add the cybernetic to the man, the only way to keep him alive.
His friend was killed a short time after, leaving the doctors the only people who knew of his mechanical additions. Victor spent the rebellion helping to augment old military equipment to get a better match-up against their overlords, only being forced to pick up a rifle and assist in a fire-fight twice.
After the rebellion concluded, Victor joined with SET and signed up to be one of the scientists to head off and study one of the neighbouring star systems. He was the last one to report back, despite being in the Alpha Centauri system. He admitted to having sat and did nothing but stare into space for hours at a time, simply marveling at the view.
On return, he aided in the research of the new EMP technology, in secret building his own EMP defenses on a personal scale so as to avoid having his own internal organs shut down on him. When the distress call was picked up by SET, he immediately volunteered to head to Wolf 359 and look for the missing ship. During his interview as to whether or not he should go he said: "...besides, if nothing else I'll get to study another star and more EM fields."
Special skills: Having worked on EMP technology and being susceptible to it's effects himself, he is incredibly apt at the use of it in any sense. He is also capable of defending himself to a basic sense.
Psionic: No
Extras: Victor likes classical and electronic music and can often be seen walking around walking around with a pair of headphones over the tuque he wears, covering his ears. Chances are though that he just doesn't want to talk to you. He also has a deep obsession with tea, but despises coffee. He is mildly xenophobic, but simply uses that as a cover to be mean to everyone.

Gaia name:Ravic
Character name: Dr. Bevin RathRace:Veera
Age: 55
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bevin is bent over slightly, a sad smile on his face as he is usually reminiscing over the past. He wears a long white coat similar to that worn by Human lab-workers, a pair of Bermuda shorts and sandals.
Personality: He is a very peaceful person, more then happy to help in any situation. Very calm, he can usually assess someone's intention just by looking at them. Despite his situation, he is still moderately cheerful.
History: As a child, Bevin loved sports. Living on a low-gravity planet, everything was very light allowing for some very spectacular feets to be performed while playing a sport. This possibility a benefit, it is also a partial hindrence. Times when organized sports turn into a competition not just to win, but to do the most spectacular movements possible. Bevin managed to hurt his back during one of these competitions while he was fifteen, destroying any possibility of his continuation in sports.
While in the hospital for his back injury, he was witness to a patient stumbling in from the side of the road after a burn injury who was having severe issues breathing. He watched as doctors rushed towards the man and performed a near-miracle in stabling him and rushing him into the operating room that had just been prepared for Bevin. He didn't mind at all, quite the opposite in fact.
His experience there made him want to be a doctor, and so studied medicine in school. Sure enough, he became a doctor and proved to be quite good at it. His injury started to act up once more later in life, leaving him with a bad back and so he is always in a bit of pain. When the pain acts up there are times when he will administer a pain killer, leaving him in a sort of useless state.
A few weeks ago he accompanied a small cargo vessel shipping medical supplies to a Veeran outpost. The ship never reached it's destination and has not yet been found.
Special skills: Bevin is a very competent doctor and an even better surgeon.
Psionic: No.
Extras: Bevin enjoys reading very much, often reading before he falls asleep while drinking a Veeran drink similar to wine. He also enjoys listening to what could be considered the Veeran equivalent of classical music. He still loves sports, and has a wife and two daughters.

Gaia name: Ravic
Character name: William "Bill" LezetRace: Human
Age: 43
Gender: Male
Appearance: [
x] (Kindly ignore the fact that the man in the picture seems to be operating on a corpse... or at least putting one back together...)
Personality: Bill suffers from mild anxiety attacks. His eyes are constantly shifting from side to side giving people the impression that he is very untrustworthy, despite his will to do anything bad to anyone.
History: During the rebellion, Bill quickly chose the rebel's side, immediately putting himself to use augmenting weaponry and even participating in field tests. Despite being scared the entire time, and losing a severe amount of sleep, he proved to be incredibly helpful to just about every aspect of th rebellion.
After the planet was retaken, he managed to calm down for a few weeks. During that time, he proved himself to be an exceptional scientist. This, despite his psychological disorder, was more then enough to make him first pick by SET for the reconnaissance missions.
The first to leave, he never reported in. He is presumed dead, despite the ongoing beeping.
Special skills: Bill is able to acquaint himself with most forms of technology within a few minutes of laying eyes on them. He is considered to be one of the smartest minds of his generation, and is (like all members of the first SET expedition) capable of defending himself to a point.
Psionic: No
Extras: Despite being shifty, Bill loves practical jokes. He says: "It's nice to see someone else squirm for a change."

Gaia name: Nickstermin8r
Character name: Nick Drogue
Race: Human
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Appearance: Oh poo, I don't have a picture. Nick stands about 5'11". He dresses in all black, as is his trade (espionage! assassination! killing stuff with reckless abandon!). Black, knee-length buckled boots, black socks, black pants (with padded knees), a
red shirt under a black dress shirt, with a black tie. Over it all, he wears black gloves and a trenchcoat. Which happens to be black. Additionally, he wears goggles constanty, as well as a bandana or face-paints, to disguise his visage, and of course, he wears the ever-popular fedora over his head, with a cloth dangling over he back of his neck.
Personality: Quiet when he needs to be, but extremely quick witted, and oddly humorous. And don't forget insolent. Nick's very insolent.
History: British intelligence. His British accent has been concealed, but he can speak in an accent if he needs to, for means of. . . *gasp* deception. When he learned of the SET ship, he immediately signed on. Unfortunately, he was forbidden to enter, mainly because the crew felt it wouldn't be. . . ah, ethical to have an assassin on borad, but there were definitely other reasons. Like a spreading rumor of Nick's contact and possible alliance with alien forces. He's like the Red of the 50s. So he stowed aboard, and remains unnoticed in the cargo hold.
Special skills: Espionage! He's an incredible spy/assassin. He also has a extensive weapons knowledge, and is perfecting several experimental weaponry types.
Psionic: A brain implant allows him to "download" information and store it. He has limited precognitive abilities, meaning he knows what will happen a split second before it actually does. Combined with precog senses is a sense of time. Nick percieves time at a slower rate, so to others he moves incredibly fast. In the words of Neo: "I can dodge bullets?"
Extras: His current weapons include two 8-shot revolvers, an assortment of knives, and a powerful rifle he built himself, which contains single, assault, and auto firing modes, as well as a silencer and a scope with all the high-tech attachments, such as infrared, night-vision, and an unperfected Xray mod.

Gaia name: Chibi-Teddo
Character name: Zaszat ( Zoz-zot... its language borders on a higher frequency than the human ear ( or a universal translator ) can perceive. This is not its complete name, only the audible part. )
Race: Zahrr ( same deal as its name )
Age: Technically 3 years ( see gender )
Gender: Asexual, Zahrr reproduce by division
Appearance: Zahrr can best be described as ghosts. Their bodies consist of interconnecting streams of bright light that undulate. Their forms are in a constant, slow flux, although they can take on whatever shape they desire by devoting some concentration to it, much like a person twisting their body. All Zahrr have unique color frequencies, allowing them to distinguish one another. Zaszat's color is a deep red with a purple tint.
Personality: Unlike the rest of its species, Zaszat is deeply curious. It is good-natured and peaceful, albeit its inquisitive nature makes it seem very impatient.
History: Zahrr are a seemingly timeless species. Generally misconceived as nonliving energy disturbances, they pass unbeknownst to other intelligent life forms. They are drawn to areas of electromagnetic activity, since that is their primary source of energy. Zahrr are 'ethereal' so to speak. Their bodies are questionably 'real'. They consist of stray particles drawn together by high-pitched light frequencies. This is what gives each Zahrr a unique coloration; it's color is based on the material and exact frequency that it's body is made of. The source of their sentience is unknown, as their body possesses no distinguishable 'brain'. Zahrr are capable of directly affecting the physical world, although it is difficult for them and they are rarely inclined to do so. A Zahrr cannot survive in anything more than very low gravity. They can operate in higher gravities for a short time, but this makes them 'sick'. The light radiation which holds their molecules together begin to lose cohesion in higher gravities. If a Zahrr is to survive in a higher gravity, it must be contained in a vacuum. Zahrr reproduce asexually, dividing once their bodies have picked up too much excess matter.
Special skills: Due to the ghost-like nature of their existance, Zahrr can pass through solid mass.
Psionic: Although it is not psionic, Zahrr are highly attuned to changes in high-frequency radiation and light waves. For example, Zahrr can percieve changing mood based on changes in skin temperature released as infrared radiation.
Extras: Umm... it loves pie. A lot.
