Trace and Weavel Trace Statistics: -Name: Trace -Nickname: Stick Bug (by Weavel) -Race: Kriken, World Hunter -Gender: male -Age: unknown (couldn't possibly matter) -Height: 4' 3" (but is usually crouched, so around 3' 11") -Weight: very light (70-75 lbs) -Picture 1, 2, 3 (Triskelion form) -Voice: Sorta crusty, energetically batshit (Jim Byrnes (Inferno from Beast Wars) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: no standard training, heavily relies on Kriken weaponry -Armament: --Claws (substantially sharp, very hard) --Imperialist, high powered long range laser weapon --Termite Gun (Acid glands located on left arm, generate a translucent white liquid that is extremely corrosive, and can project it either in bursts (Acid Shotgun) or in a constant stream (Acid Hose) but cannot fire very far) ((Trace exclusive)) --Krinets (flying, single segment insects, look like small versions of Trace's head with four legs on the underside and four large wings on the sides and top. Filled with volatile acid), can be summoned at will and actually make up more than a third of Trace's body mass total. Trace can see, hear, and feel through every Krinet, even when they are separated from his main body, because they are, in essence, Trace himself. Can be used as scouts, mines, grenades, or missiles. -Equipment: none. Carapace acts as armor and all weapons but the Imperialist are organic in nature -Other: Triskelion Form (small, three legged insect, claws grow much sharper, able to move quickly), Burroach Form (squat, four legged, two large shovel like mandibles on the front), Mothvant (about the same size as normal form, except all four limbs are equal length and size, and with the addition of four large wasp-like wings sticking out of his back), carapace can change color similar to the way that a chameleon's skin changes color, which will often be used as camouflage Status: -Occupation: World Hunter, bounty hunter, terrorist -Personality: sadistic, hot headed, violent, rude, generally unpleasant -Strengths: very good shot (if he'd actually take the time to make a good shot rather than firing all over the place), very agile, can be good at stealth if he's actually trying, makes a great distraction -Weaknesses: impulsive, rude, not a good team player, very destructive, loud, very small, fairly physically weak Trace is one of many of the Kriken World Hunter sub-species, one of the only forms to have sentience. The function of the World Hunter is to locate and secure suitable planets for the Kriken empire to expand to and consume, a job which Trace takes great pride in, even though he's actually quite horrendously terrible at it. Instead, he often spends time causing general trouble or helping Weavel with bounty hunting jobs, or whatever terrorist plot he might be working on. Trace is only in I for the violence, of course. Trace and Weavel are sort of comrades, in that they both seem to be the ineffective and forgotten end of their respective organizations. Trace also has a small personal crab shaped space craft which can often be found latched onto the top of Weavel's ship. ========== Weavel Statistics: -Name: Weavel -Nickname: Rusty One (by Trace) -Race: Zebeth Cyborg -Gender: male -Age: unknown -Height: 6' 5" -Weight: medium heavy (250-300 lbs) -Picture 1, 2, 3 (Half Turret) -Voice: gritty, constantly irritated, rude and apathetic (Jim Byrnes (Thrust from Beast Machines) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: skilled in just about all manner of firearms and melee combat, personal preference is pistols and his energy blade -Armament: --Energy blade attached to arm --Two Battlehammer class single-hand grenade launcher pistols --Light gauss cannon imbedded in lower torso, used during Half Turret form --A number of plasma charges and incendiary grenades -Equipment: vital support system cybernetics, armor -Other: Half Turret, the ability to separate his upper torso from his lower torso, revealing the light gauss cannon on the lower torso to fire while the upper torso attacks with the energy blade or battlehammers Status: -Occupation: bounty hunter, pirate, terrorist -Personality: rude, uncaring, very irritable, enjoys being violent -Strengths: very strong, good shot, good reflexes, clever, never seems to run out of explosives -Weaknesses: hot headed, irritable, working with others, very poor against protagonists Weavel was a Space Pirate who survived the initial attack on Zebes by Samus Aran, but was mortally injured. His brain and some of his spinal cord were saved and implanted into a cybernetic body. He has a small Pirate gunship that he has gotten very good at smuggling onto commercial jump carriers. Occasionally shares the ship with Trace. He does a fair amount of bounty hunting work because he needs the money. Occasionally works with Trace, because, he says "Violence is often necessary, and Trace is good at that." Apart from that, he spends his time thinking of horrid things to do to Samus if he ever finds her again, furthering the goals of the Space Pirates, failing, partaking in various criminal and terrorism oriented acts, failing, and watching movies. He isn't that picky about the movies. |

Serves private contractors and clients for assassinations, mercenary work, treasure hunting, bodyguard duty, or things of that nature. He owns a fairly small jump capable ship called the Mandrill, the purchase of which left him almost broke. The Mandrill is larger than a fighter, the kind of ship that a small group of people can actually live on, is fully legal and registered with the Galactic Federation, and has no ship board AI. Basil lives in it by himself. His actual name may be Sebastian, and his alias may be Basilisk, but a long time ago, one of his partners couldn't pronounce either and called him Basil instead, and it stuck. FOREVER. To this day, just about everyone who knows him calls him Basil. He really hates it, but he's gotten somewhat used to it. ========== Tricia Statistics: -Name: Patricia Belle Stanford -Nickname: "Cockatrice," Tricia -Race: Cyborg (not an android. Human with prosthetic body) -Gender: female -Age: 24 -Height: 6' 5" -Weight: 250 lbs (built exact) -Picture 1, 2, 3, 4 -Voice: Very competent and sure of herself, slightly deep (Michelle Ruff) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: Can wield just about any melee weapon effectively, specializes in thin bladed weapons reliant on agility like swords and daggers, as opposed to heavy hitter weapons like hammers, pikes, and axes, but can use those well too. -Armament (weapons she's usually got on her): --Two specially made laser edge daggers --Custom built photon edge katana --Twelve foot wire, multi purpose --Handful of grenades, smoke and flash, usually around six or seven total, more smoke than flash --9mm pistol, twenty bullet clip -Equipment: Powered armor and full prosthetic body, both Slaan manufacture.

She comes from a rich family fairly high up in the Slaan Organization, so she really doesn't need to work, but prefers to for two reasons. The first is because she enjoys it and likes to keep active, and the second is so that she doesn't have to deal with her parents. The only thing she allows her family to pay for her is her ship, the Anaconda. A medium sized personal ship, jump capable. She lives in it with two friends, Victoria and Alice, and her little sister, Madison. More on them may or may not be added later. |

Kanden and the Doctor Dr. Rjinswand Statistics: -Name: Doctor Herald Rjinswand (Pronounced Rjin-ZWAND) (two syllables, takes practice to say it right, doesn't mind if you say Ruh-jin-ZWAND, three syllables, instead) -Nickname: Doc, Stein (most commonly used RPG character name), Herald_the_Wizzard (screen name) -Race: human -Gender: male -Age: 38 -Height: 5' 10" -Weight: medium (150-175 lbs) -Appearance: average sized, middle aged, slightly balding man, thin face, brown hair, short brown beard, small glasses, and usually not a very optimistic look on his face.

Not quite. He is a scientist, and he is a nerd, but he doesn't have the absentmindedness. He only appears to occasionally, because he seems generally laid back in his work, but this is only because he enjoys it. When something goes wrong, he becomes very serious in order to fix it. He's a fairly normal person except for the fact that he's a weapons developing genius working for the Federation. He doesn't really work for the Federation that much, but he is technically on their payroll. He mostly does what he wants on his own and tries to stay out of trouble because he's mostly a coward. Among some of his most important inventions are a type of freeze cannon used commonly by the marines, and the Ionizer Cannon, a massive satellite mounted weapon that can irradiate an entire country in seconds from orbit. Rjinswand has some part in the backstory of Kanden, and currently is caring for Kanden, usually keeping him heavily sedated. He also likes to play role playing games and strategy games, both real time and turn based. ========== Kanden Statistics: -Name: Kanden -Nickname: none -Race: Enoema Project -Gender: possibly male -Age: unknown -Height: 11' 8" -Weight: very heavy (600-800 lbs) -Picture 1, 2, 3 (Sting Larva) -Voice: deep, sinister, cruel and enjoying it, terrifying (Campbell Lane (Rampage from Beast Wars) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: not known -Armament: --Volt Driver, a particle projector cannon grafted to Kanden's arm that basically shoots a lightning bolt when fired --Brute strength --Source Engine, anything in Kanden's hands becomes a deadly weapon -Equipment: armored shell, a strange armor casing around Kanden's actual body that gives him shape, bulletproof and extremely resilient against extreme temperature -Other: Sting Larva form, body shape changes into a large segmented worm like form, about five feet long and two feet high, that can move very quickly, and can fire homing energy grenades from the last segment of the tail Status: -Occupation: Experiment -Personality: monstrous, destructive, and unpredictable, but also cunning, very intelligent, ruthless, and generally mean -Strengths: incredibly physically strong and powerful, mostly immune to bullets, very agile, very intelligent -Weaknesses: easily angered, difficult to hide, very large target Kanden was a super soldier project that failed miserably and succeeded spectacularly at the same time. He is an incredibly powerful warrior, but is largely uncontrollable and more of a monster than a soldier. He's escaped from every facility he's been imprisoned in and every research center they've brought him to, killing hundreds of people on the way. Currently resides in the care of Dr. Herald Rjinswand, who can actually be considered to have some measure of control over him. |

Bob and Jen Bob Statistics: -Name: Robert Donald Nolan -Nickname: The BobDon, Bob, Gaer (most commonly used RPG character name), ProfessorFixit (screen name) -Race: human -Gender: male -Age: 43 (takes good care of himself) -Height: 5' 9" -Weight: medium (150-200 lbs) -Appearance: Average sized, middle aged, white male. Usually wears a green overcoat. Short blonde hair, no facial hair other than stubble -Voice: always sorta bored or exasperated (Bob Buchholz) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: not entirely terrible with a pistol -Armament: --usually nothing -Equipment: all manner of technological gadgets and crap including an energy shield, stun gun, and all the computer equipment you could need to break into the Federation Treasury computer system -Other: pilots a giant robot Status: -Occupation: "Freelance Engineer" (tinker/bum) -Personality: very laid back, usually uncaring -Strengths: mechanical mastermind, very good at designing miscellaneous crap, great at hacking, very good at just about every type of video game -Weaknesses: rather lazy, not very fun to be around most of the time, not very strong physically A freelance tinker. Bob is a mechanical genius who can pretty much make anything you want if you pay him enough. He owns a cargo freighter called the Mammoth that he converted into his home, a warehouse, and a workshop for machines of any kind, provided they can fit in the hangar. Works on miscellaneous jobs given to him by the Federation or just by anyone who needs something fixed. He's good with his hands and can spend days on end working if he has an idea, but other than those instances he has practically no motivation at all, and will sit around all day playing video games or watching TV. Bob also has a nineteen year old daughter named Jennifer. His wife, Virginia, died twelve years ago of a terminal illness. Bob is considered somewhat 'uncool' by other crazy mechanical genius people because he has a real biological teenage girl and not a robot daughter. He also happens to be the architect behind the solar system destroying highly illegal weapon system known as the Unstable Portal Cannon. ========== Jen Statistics: -Name: Jennifer Nolan -Nickname: Jen, Rixi (most commonly used RPG character name), AnonFairy (screen name) -Race: human -Gender: female -Age: 19 -Height: 5' 2" -Weight: light (100-150 lbs) -Picture 1, 2, 3 (except usually has her hair in a pony tail) -Voice: Young, cute, upbeat (Kari Wahlgren's younger girl voice (Pacifica (Scrapped Princess), Fuu (Samurai Champloo), so on) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: practices at a shooting range with a pistol, and isn't all that bad with a rifle -Armament: --Custom built particle projector pistol (hand held lightning gun) --Taser -Equipment: -Other: very good mechanic, but not as genius as her father, also very good at video games, and can also pilot a giant robot Status: -Occupation: Student -Personality: happy in a philosophical sort of way, usually cheerful, tries to keep out of trouble -Strengths: smart, clever, cheerful, very good mechanical skills, can pilot a giant robot, good at working hard, good at math, superb computer skills, very attractive -Weaknesses: can be sort of clueless at times, doesn't respond well to change, really hates to lose, not very good with money, not very physically strong (though stronger than most teenage girls are expected to be) Jen attends a fairly prestigious college and lives on campus, so she and her father, Bob, don't see each other in person very often, but they do keep in contact through a number of MMO games and instant messenger. She can usually be found fixing something the student council asked her to, or working on something of her own in one of the school labs. She's very beautiful, and a very happy person, which make her fairly popular with everyone, especially with boys and with people who like to take advantage of others. Every chance she gets, she comes home to Bob on the Mammoth and helps him out on whatever new project he's working on, or is slacking off from. In the team of the two of them, depending on the situation, either can act as the voice of reason for the other. Incidentally, she does actually own a giant robot. Several, in fact. Disclaimer: Interestingly enough, I actually had Jen's character pretty much built and finished some time BEFORE I saw Winry Rockbell from Fullmetal Alchemist. Weird. |

Spire Statistics: -Name: Spire -Nickname: Big Guy -Race: Diamont, orange -Gender: Generally assumed to be male, but no one's really sure, not even himself -Age: unknown -Height: 14' 7" -Weight: extremely heavy (1-2 tons) -Picture 1, 2, 3 (Dialanch) -Voice: deep, ponderous, learned (Richard Newman (Rhinox from Beast Wars) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: none, never needed any other weapons other than his own strength -Armament: --Solidity, Spire is made of very hard and very coarse stone and he is extremely strong --Magmaul, what appears to be a giant ball of super heated metal attached to Spire's arm by a long cord of what appears to be molten lava that can be used as a flail. Spire also seems to be able to spin the ball in his hand which creates an effect very similar to a flame thrower -Equipment: none. He's made of stone. -Other: The orange crystal formations on his back contain vast amounts of very anomalous energy. This energy reacts to other large sources of energy in very peculiar ways, sometimes bending space and even time. Dialanch form, the ability to curl into a (relatively) small ball and roll, which can be quite destructive, and is also a much quicker method of travel than walking for someone with Spire's size, leg structure, and posture Status: -Occupation: Treasure Hunter -Personality: tries to be thoughtful of others, very protective of friends -Strengths: extremely huge, very intimidating, made of stone, quite clever, calm, seems to be well educated -Weaknesses: extremely huge, very intimidating, made of stone, sometimes stubborn, doesn't enjoy fighting Spire is the last of the Diamont race, and has made it something of a personal mission to find out what happened to them. So far, he's had little success in that, but has had a few interesting experiences along the way. Just about everything about his background remains a complete mystery, just as the fate of his species does. He doesn't really look where he's been, just where he's going. He likes to be in warmer climates and larger open spaces, and indoors usually makes him uncomfortable, usually because wherever it is wasn't designed for people as big as him. |

General Drakashka Statistics: -Name: Jemadari Reik Drakashka (pronounced Rake Druh-kash-ka) -Nickname: Two Face -Race: Kyeso -Gender: male -Age: 52 -Height: 11' 9" -Weight: heavy -Appearance: very tall and muscular, even for a Kyeso, dark green, head looks something like Godzilla (from the 1998 movie by Tristar), has a long rope burn scar stretching from the top of his head, down through his right eye, and down to the underside of his chin. Eye still functions but occasionally bleeds. Wears a military uniform similar in feeling to a modern day general, when in battle, wears similar armor to General Raam. -Voice: Like a pestilent festering wound (Bruce Spence, The Mouth of Sauron (This guy.) Skills: -Weapon proficiencies: everything from heavy weapons to small arms to hand to hand to demolitions -Armament: --Full sized mounted machine gun turret, usually found on helicopters or tanks, except he holds it in his hand like a rifle --Bolt Gun, a pistol about three times as large as a pistol made for humans, fires eight inch metal stakes, twenty bolts in one clip, fires two times a second -Equipment: usually nothing but his uniform -Other: Good understanding of how the world works Status: -Occupation: Political leader, keeper of peace -Personality: controlling, brutish but not bloodthirsty, generally unpleasant, not stupid -Strengths: huge, intimidating, good shot, very good fighter, very clever -Weaknesses: not a good people person The world of Dunia is generally united under one government and one ruler. But a rule like that is flimsy without a spectacularly strong military presence to keep little upstarts and revolutions down, and Jemadari Reik Drakashka, or General Two Face as he is often called by his men, even to his face, is the ruthless and hardened battle commander behind it. The Kyeso's supreme ruler controls the government, but Drakashka is the real keeper of the peace. And he's good at it. Although he is called General, this is no longer his rank. General was his rank before he was promoted to Peace Keeper, the official administrator of all military peace keeping operations of the entire continent. |
