Sauln

January 5, 2012

Name: Bycus Sauln
Sex: Male
Species: Pleathic
Class: Beta
Affiliation: The crew of the Pathfinder
Occupation: Engineer

Sauln, the wise cracking, pill popping engineer of the Pathfinder.

“A stout, Pethelisc with a long neck and camel-like face. He certainly knew his stuff… when he was sober. Sauln was fired from the corporations for his part time job as drug dealer. They’re usually pretty soft on drugs, but Sauln wasn’t paying his dues to the supervisor. He also developed a habit of sampling his own product while on duty.
My first day, he fixed me a drink as a friendly welcome aboard gesture. Great, except it was laced with some kind a hallucinogen. For the next few hours I had to endure melting walls, and the crew’s faces having turned into tentacles.”

Thryce

July 13, 2011

Sex: Male
Species: Reptilia Chameleon
Class: Alpha
Affiliation: The Reptilia Droc Empire
Occupation: Warrior caste
First Appearance: Scavenger

 

Species:
Thryce is a Chameleon, one of six known Reptilia’Droc species. Chameleons, like all Reptilia species, are Alpha class. They possess physical strength, speed, and agility even beyond that of most other Alpha races. Common Reptilia traits include a long forked tongue which allows them to “taste” the air, and do a detailed chemical analysis of their surrounding. They also have superior night vision, and crocodilian jaws that can break bones, or tear through metal.

Other traits specific to Chameleons: the ability to change the color of their skin, and blend in with their surroundings. This ability is similar to the chameleons of earth, but refined to an even greater extent. Chameleons also posses superior agility, which allows them to have a unique fighting style of leaping, kicking, and flipping.

Profile:
As a Chameleon, Thryce was raised as member of the warrior caste, trained to fight for and protect the Reptilia’Droc Empire. Thryce’s skills in combat and head for strategy have made him the leader of his squad, “The Reapers”. But Thryce craves for more than the life of an ordinary soldier, and often acts brashly and disobeys orders in the name of glory. His ambition is frowned upon by his superiors, who feel that serving the empire should be reward enough, and see personal desire and pride as flaws of the corporate races.

January 8, 2011

Dr. Bradic Al’Zern is a belarian, a beta with humanoid characteristics. Bradic works as a zoologist for the Gal Zinge corporation. He was stationed at the Sakora mining operation to research and catalog the wildlife before the planet is cleared for the strip mining process.

Unlike Melean, Bradic has spent the last few years working in the Outer Rim territories. He has seen first hand the corporation’s plans unfettered by the public eye. He has seen his own work ignored and pushed to the side in place of profit. But Bradic’s good nature and sense of humor have allowed him to endure and continue forward with his research.

He is also attempting to track down a species of strange glowing serpents which have been been reported by the surveying teams as gliding through the air. Bradic suspects these are probably an invasive species. They may have stowed away on a transport from another world or it could be a rival corporation trying to sabotage the operation.

Despite being a scientist, Bradic is required to carry a weapon while out in the field,
due to a number of disappearances suffered by the operation’s surveying crew.

When Gal Zinge offered her reassignment as an environmental consultant at a mining operation on the planet of Sakora, Melean jumped at the chance. She was eager to travel to the Outer Rim and discover new species. But when the young botanist reached Sakora, she learned Gal Zinge had different plans in store for the uninhabited planet. And that was only one of the secrets the corporation had been keeping from her.

Kana’s primary talent is for reverse engineering alien technology. She has unlocked the secrets of past civilizations, as well as deciphered the coveted Reptilia’Droc technology.

Kana is a human of primarily Japanese descent. However by the time “Balance of Power” takes place, a 1,000 years have passed since humans were forced to abandoned earth to resettle among the stars.
