Character Background
War of some kind was a daily part of life. Since the earliest days the people of the planet were divided. Four main factions rose up. Three of them were even in terms of power and ability while one acted more like a terrorist cell attacking all randomly to destabilize the others. The planet was rich in resources and a beautiful small oasis ready to be claimed.
From a young age the boys were trained to fight. The constant warfare kept population levels low. Most were taught how to use some kind of flying apparatus since the low gravity made air warfare one of the dominant forms of combat.
Idrick had dreams of leaving the world and one day returning with his own army to stabilize his home world so no more would have their lives cut short like his sister and her husband to be.
At eighteen Idrick signed up for the military academy. He was smart and physically talented enough to excel. Turbulent times kept him from his studies and he also believes his low social standing kept from gaining admission. Undeterred he enlisted in the Army as an infantry man. Everything was going well until he found out that his superior Lieutenant Ungmier was illegally trafficking drugs and weapons. The Lieutenant gave him an opportunity to join the ring but wanting to do the right thing Idrick refused and reported them. He was caught up in the political whitewash and was discharged even after having done nothing wrong. Idrick questions what to do with the rest of his life.
Perhaps one good thing came from his involvement in the scandal that got him booted from the Army and that was he seemed to gain a new ally. The entertainer was the only one who had taken up the fight with him. The Lieutenant gave Idrick the chance to denounce the actor and his accusations. Of course he would be punished in some way but it would have been minimal. He could continue his career but would be involved in their ring the Lieutenant saw potential in Idrick. The lure of more money was enticing but Idrick held to his principles. When the dust cleared he appeared to have come out of it much better then the performer. This suggested this whole thing went a lot higher then the Lieutenant. Two men wronged by the same group can forge strong bonds.
Idrick's sense of justice did not fail him. He was determined to still do some good in the universe and maybe a career in law enforcement would allow him to unravel the corruption in the military somehow. At the very least he could help the locals under their jurisdiction. Idrick enrolled and was accepted it seemed at first with some reluctance as he just barely made it in according to his superior. Over the next four years he worked tirelessly. He made two good contacts over that span of time while working on different assignments. His work ethic and results did not go unnoticed and he was promoted to Corporal. Perhaps there is still some justice and good in the universe yet..
Idrick continued his work receiving another promotion for his dedication. During a celebration party he met the first real love of his life Kyrina Telia She was the first person to work her way through his rough exterior. She was an entertainer an actress her name Kyrina Telia. They met when she happened to be at the same location when the department was holding a grand celebration. The two contrasts hit it off immediately. He also met Allyne Duchamp who was a friend Kyrina who she did not see much. Idrick tried to avoid everyone at the party to no avail including Allyne. He and Allyne got along well enough she talked a lot about electronics which made his head spin but it made him realize that if was going to investigate the new piece of information he received then he would have to learn be more discrete. A direction that would lead to another dark turn in his life.
As time passed once again Idrick's pursuit of justice made him dig too far. A small thread he tugged on led right back to the upper brass of his department. Unable to let it go he kept pulling until they finally struck back. They tried to frame him as a criminal and boot him from his job. With the help of Kyrina and his the legal skills he picked up he was able to force somewhat of a stalemate. He agreed to leave without any disgrace and the matter would be dropped.

He was reasonably smart, but found that there were about fifty thousand other kids that might have been just as smart trying to gain entry to University every year. Thinking that things like degrees might not be for somebody like him he tries to join the army to get his medical education there, should they put him in such a job.
The people were dirty and rude - just like back home. The army actually taught him how to put a person back together. So far so good.

There was just something off about working there. Even after years it was made very clear to him that he was as far away from being promoted as possible, not how he imagined science work at all. He hadn't joined this gig to do gruntwork, so Nezzara decided it was time to pack it all up for good.

Connection made with Rafe Trystienne
He helped Nezzara out when the bureaucracy was taking away from his research time by sweet-talking certain functionaries.
Character Background
Nezz was raised in a mesh of tincans floating about cold space, which was called Raguegh, not that it mattered. He was part of the unwashed masses, the cogs in the machine, born to a family of little significance and means. It was a crowded space, helplessly overfilled in fact, but also a very technologically advanced one. While technology did not necessarily mean comfort or warmth, especially when it was solely aimed at industrial means, it did mean some sort of opportunity if one had a good head on their shoulders. And Nezzara was smart enough, strong enough, learned enough. The resources were there for him to utilise, and he had learned quickly he did not want to become one of those base thugs that just tried to become the big bad fish in the middle of the other sardines squeezes into the worldlets. In the beginning his plan wasn't even to get out, per se, but just to get somewhere it was less crowded. That this could be an actual planet with atmosphere only occured to him at a very late stage. Be that as it may, even though he saw the steel and blinking lights all around him he realised that in truth he might be a people person. Biology just interested him, and wasn't it the most advanced machine there was? Well, probably not, but he still dreamt of becoming a doctor. Might be he could wing University, or if not that then some sort of military medical gig.
Soon after his 18th birthday he enrolled in the local University entry exams. He was reasonably smart, but found that there were about fifty thousand other kids that might have been just as smart trying to gain entry to University every year. Thinking that things like degrees might not be for somebody like him he tried to join the army to get his medical education there, should they put him in such a job. Not only did he succeed, but he was also immediately enrolled in medic duties. Considering he army actually taught him how to put a person back together this was all great so far. The people were dirty and rude - just like back home. It was uncertain why, but he also got a relatively cosy deployment working at HQ lasering furuncles of off top brass or just generally learning how to survive around army mandarins. It was like the bureaucracy back home, just on steroids. But he felt that the people were put off by his low-class demeanour, and not gaining commission was a little bit of a blow. However he received a regular promotion, which promted him to postpone his plans of becoming a doctor on some out of the way planet for another tour of duty. Nezz just hoped it would be as comfortable again as this one had been.
His second tour of duty started out as more of the same, with Nezzara being attached to the HQ medical of a batallion doing a peacekeeping mission in some laid back rural place. he started to think maybe the top brass was just pretending not to like his brash and abbrasive station-scum demeanour with the way that they still kept him around in a somewhat cushy position. However it wasn't all furuncles and taking blood in the army. During his second tour he got involved in more complicated medical procedures on the battlefield and off, since even though he wasn't doing any of the fighting where he was there were still some other people that did. By the end of it he felt like University couldn't have taught him about applied medicine better than what he got here. When he was promoted a second time, now serving as a Corporal for HQ medical, he started to genuinely enjoy the army. There was going to be more responsibility involved, and he might have a genuine shot at trying his hand at real leadership. This would become a turning point, given that if he doubled down now maybe his dreams of his own medical practice later would vanish entirely. He was doing medicine here after all, wasn't he? ; This stage in life also marked when Nezzra met Allyne Duchamp, when the woman was part of a diplomatic mission to the planet he was peacekeeping on. She helped negotiate a very tense and important exchange of prisoners and wounded, to which Nezzra tended after the handover. The two hit it off afterwards.
It was his third tour when things started to go south. The situation got a little more intense in his part of the sector, and he was eventually pulled from his relatively safe position to be redeployed near a hot combat zone. Nezzara was involved in some frontline duty, for a change shooting at people as well as patching fellow soldiers up. For a year or so this was a stressful deployment, but he pushed through it. He was looking forward to more promotions and continuing his career in the army. However it didn't turn out that way. He was due to be shifted around to some other battlefield yet again, and with few troop carriers his batallion was pushed on the same ship that was already full of army men. The usual headbutting started between army and marines, and it wasn't Nezzaras commander that got his way. For some reason unknown to himself one Marine Colonel Harnet took the troop ship through a nebula. There events unknown to Nezzara caused the ship to crash and flood with poisonous gas. He tried to transport injured troops but was caught in a subsequent explosion. He nearly died, waking up in a medbay heavily sedated some time later. The army was grateful enough to cover all his medical expenses, and eventually his body recovered fully. They even put some fancy plating underneath his skin, so that was something. There was however a confidence lost in the procedures of the military, because of the general mess and the fact that he was honourably discharged when he thought he actually deserved a medal. It was time to take that civilian job now after all.
After having fully recovered Nezzara wanted to give academia a shot. There was the opportunity to become part of a research project that he had heard through an old military friend due to him bein a reasonably accomplished medical professional. However he was ultimately passed on for somebody with a university degree and more experience in scientific research. He had to reconsider what to with himsef yet again, but knowing that he always had a home in the military somewhere he let himself be drafted. This led to him being deployed as a merchant marine on an imperial trader. Now again at the bottom of the totem-pole he worked a lot of manual jobs, but he found himself to be well liked, maybe even a little more so than in the army. The crewmembers and even the NCOs seemed to be from similar backgrounds to himself, and eventually his medical abilities got to be in high demand too. He was set to be a more wealthy man when mustering out, and also a slightly more fit one too, given the physically strenuous work around the ship. His tour of duty was very succesful all throughout, earning him a promotion and a fair amount of wealth. However, it was not the kind of work that he wanted to do for a long time, which is why he decided to try again to enter a scientific profession.
When Nezzara had been younger he had dreamed of becoming some laid back rural doctor. Now that he was older he was less fussy and just followed the opportunities, so when it was possible to join a research station as a measly lab-tech he took it. He figured he could brush up on the science fundamentals there - the kind he never got due to his unconventional education, which he partially accomplished. Working at the research lab was educational, but he found that there was as much bureaucratic nonsense as the army sometimes had. While here he had to talk his way out of these situation when in the army one couldn't, however he would have preferred to be able to concentrate on his work alone. During one of the many functions and seminars that he attended during this time he met Rafe Trystienne, a newly knighted noble sweet-talking some of the functionaries that were in the way of scientific progress and therefore a major pain in Nezzaras behind. It eased the problems somewhat, but there was just something off about working at the station. Even after years it was made very clear to him that he was as far away from being promoted as can be, which was not how he imagined science work at all. He hadn't joined this gig to do gruntwork forever, so eventually Nezzara decided it was time to pack it all up for good. He would have loved to make a clear cut, yet shortly before Nezzara realised that this wasn't really for him he had been pushed into a bad deal buying an out of date lab ship from the research station's surplus. It was only 25% paid off, and he couldn't even fly it, but for the time being it was his. He could always sell it later on. At least it was a way to be able to go wherever he wanted now, if only he could afford the exorbitant maintenance AND the mortgage at the same time. He'd have to find a way to make some money quick, or in two months tops he would be pennyless...

Character Background
Aonani was for some time virtually ignored by the Imperium at large, having few colonists...mostly of Solomani descent at that...and very little considered interesting or worthwhile. That all changed though when the unusual chemical properties of the massive fungal colonies that blanket most of the sparse land area of the world were discovered by a team of researchers. Though the planet lacks the infrastructure to exploit this resource, the promise of future riches have lured an opportunistic Imperial noble there, in hopes of reversing recent declines in his fortunes.
Early on the Abelards ran afoul of several of Aonani's many hazards. The constant smog of 'belcher' spores hangs thick in the atmosphere, buoyed by the storms and the high atmospheric pressure along with the low gravity of the planet. The baron's first wife fell victim to a severe allergic reaction to the spores, dying before the needed medicines could arrive by courier. The eldest son of the family died while trying to 'prove himself' to the relatively primitive natives in an airborne race astride domesticated flying mounts. This tragedy, perversely, helped to ease another persistent problem though; the intense native distrust of having a local ruler...particularly a non-native one. Though the majority of the planet's 3400 souls grudgingly went along with it, a large number began lobbying for the creation of a local democratic rule. When that went nowhere, a small fringe group broke off and adopted guerrilla tactics of asymmetrical warfare to try to force the Baron to the negotiating table. However, when his son died trying to honor the native ways, the attention of a respected native family was earned.
Baron Ross Abelard, after discussions, took a new wife...with the understanding and promise that she would be involved in setting policy and that her counsel would be listened to. By her he had Fetuilelagi (feh-TOO-ee-leh-LAH-gi) as his first-born daughter. She has lived a sort of 'split' life, educated by Meilani in the culture and traditions of the Aonani people, and by the Baron and tutors in the lore and custom of the Imperium. Despite there being three half-siblings older than her, she has felt a certain burden in trying to bridge that gap...and those half-siblings resent her presence among them, most of them seeing her as an interloper no better than her mother.
Even so, Fetu has taken an intense interest in the stars beyond her little world and longs to see more of the galaxy. One day she knows she will return to stay and fulfill the difficult role of peacemaker on Aonani, perhaps one day even ruling it, if succession ever falls to her. Before then though, she hopes to see the wonders of the cosmos, and all its people.
After being accepted to an off-world university in the Imperium, Fetu's classes went quite well at first. Her tutoring at home had prepared her well, and her early coursework was aimed at navigating both jumpspace and realspace, in preparation for a career as a starship pilot...perhaps even in the ISS! Alas, this was not to be. Long-simmering rivalries between two nearby worlds broke into warfare, and Fetu was drafted into the Imperial Marines.
She served in a support role aboard a supply cutter, helping to maintain and repair materials, and sometimes even starships that were brought into port. Near the end of her first term however, her flotilla was intercepted by enemy forces and many ships were boarded. Despite serving with distinction and helping to fend the intruders off, her commanding officer passed her over for promotion. This may be because she discovered encrypted communications that she went over his head to notify command in her ship's logs... Fetu believed it implied the ambush had been conducted with inside help.
Her next term she applied for a transfer, still within the Support branch, and got it. In this case her ship was the closest available responder to a distress call. Though their ship was not a front line combat vessel, her crew responded to the call. They took a pirate by surprise as they were boarding a luxury yacht, and Fetu was on the team that joined the fight to liberate the hostages and eliminate the pirates. In the process she personally intervened at great risk to herself to save the life of a VIP on the yacht. Despite this action she was not recommended for promotion, and some digging revealed her old commander was behind it, pulling strings to keep her down.
Even so, not everything was gloomy. The wealthy traveler she'd rescued bequeathed an incredibly generous gift upon her; a membership in the exclusive Traveller's Aid Society. Having such a boon emboldened Fetu to leave the military...where it was becoming painfully clear advancement wasn't possible...and strike out on her own into the wide galaxy. It had been a much bumpier ride than she'd imagined it would be, but finally she was fulfilling the dream that had led her to leave Aonani in the first place!

Character Background
Carric had a pretty typical childhood on his homeworld, his father had been in the Marines so of course growing up idolizing his father he too wanted to join. When he completed his schooling he tried to attend the academy but was denied. Discouraged but determined he went the enlisted route the same as his father had done. His father having exited the Marines as a Corporal. Carric wanted to make his father proud and did everything he could to advance.
His years of hard work paid off attaining the rank of Sergeant and then being commissioned as a Lieutenant. Unfortunately prior to his commissioning his father passed away back home. Carric was disheartened his father did not live to see his accomplishment but he was still proud and knew his father would have been as well. Carric was on quite a few classified missions with the Marines his final one a push to take out a group of terrorists. As his team went in they were ambushed, someone having tipped the enemy off. His squad was surrounded and it was a miracle they made it out alive, while exfilling Carric took a slug in the back as they were being evacuated. Fortunately they were able to take him along still.
Upon arriving in the rear he was rushed into surgery and fortunately they were able to repair the serious damage that had been done. It took some time but eventually he made a full recovery. It also meant though that he was not longer able to continue on in the Marines. No longer an active Marine he needed to find a way to use his talents from his service, and decided to go into the Intelligence field. His prior skills serving him well leading to his being promoted twice up to the Rank of Field Agent.
Carric worked as primarily an infiltration and information gathering agent, during his time with Intelligence, completing a large number of successful missions, before at last deciding to retire and see what was next in life for him. He was still single having never took the time for romance of any real sort. Still not that old even after retiring he was eager to see what waited for him going forward. Carric had a very interesting career up to this point in his life, between his military service and intelligence operations.

Childhood and Young Adulthood-grew up in Neblethorn on Ruie. The Maritz family was among the first to land on Ruie in 78 during the second colonization wave, and the current family retains the strongly anti-Imperium and xenophobic attitudes of their forebears shared by most of the leadership of Neblethorn. Disowned for her desire to explore the nations of the Canaday Union, eventually leave Ruie, and join the larger galactic society along with her pro-Imperium views, Mara struck out on her own after hearing rumors that her father had been unfaithful to her mother and had sired a half-sibling with a famous Diva. She confronted her father about her supposed half-brother but he refused to discuss the matter with her at all. She made plans to find him and was disowned by her family when her plan was discovered. She left home and eventually found and joined Tryste’s show. Things were going well, and Mara was preparing to reveal her family bond with Rafe until the scandal with the corrupt official.
Service-Mara, feeling betrayed and abandoned when Rafe was unable to shield her from the scandal involving the corrupt official, tried to escape by enlisting in Merchant service but failed. Caught up in the court proceedings and pressured by officials, she agreed to enlist in navy to avoid prosecution, and she was to be assigned to the entertainment/propaganda division of recruitment as an actress because of her background in Tryste’s show. The military leadership of the Imperium Navy was trying to improve recruiting prospects in the Regina area, especially Ruie, through a propaganda campaign designed to improve public perception.
1st Tour- Mara when through a personal improvement plan to improve her coordination (+1 Dexterity) and learned to operate large guns (Gunnery) in preparation for her first role, that of a new recruit going through basic training and then advanced training to operate large ships guns. The film follows her through her training and first assignment, where she is instrumental in winning a large space battle. The production was a modest success.
2nd Tour- Learned to operate a vacuum suit (Vacc Suit) and how to accurately target and call for long range gun fire (Forward Observer) in preparation for second role. The second film follows Mara's character from the first film as she learns new skills in preparation for her second assignment as a forward observer and then as she is again instrumental in a victory, holding her forward position against seemingly insurmountable odds, even having to patch her Vacc Suit while simultaneously successfully calling for fire on the enemy position. This production was more successful than its predecessor and Mara began to have a small fan base.
3rd Tour- Learned to operate small landing craft (Ship’s Boat) and to repair energy weapons and other small devices (Electronics) in preparation for third role. Her third role has Mara assigned to a small, self-sufficient combat unit specializing in planetary operations. Mara plays a support role, repairing energy weapons and other small electronic devices. Although she was central to the plot of the production, it was not as successful as the prior two, with criticisms centering around the reduced action of her role. Owing to small returns that made the production a failure and the cost of the advanced electronics training, Mara was forced to reenlist for a fourth tour and fourth role.
4th Tour- Mara learned to use a dagger (Blade Combat: Dagger) and a carbine rifle (Gun Combat: Carbine) in preparation for her fourth role. Mara's character had received a commission at the end of her last production. She receives a promotion at the start of this production, and becomes the XO for the unit from her last production. She has specialized in the use of somewhat antiquated weapons and is forced to become a leader after the CO was killed in combat. She leads her unit to a decisive victory. Film became a surprise hit and Mara a surprise star, albeit one with a checkered past. Mara decided to leave the service and mustered out.
Post-service-Mara reconnected with Rafe after mustering out, and after he had explained what had happened to him and how he was driven off the planet, she was able to finally let go of her resentment. He laughed when she asked him if her father was also his father. I think not. I have found far more credence in other rumored sires than your father. That particular rumor was started by one of your father's friends who wished to drive a wedge between your father and your mother. Satisfied with that answer, she joined him on the Spirit of Hope

Character Notes
Tends to wear cloth and mesh armor together unless wearing a vacc suit, in which case she only wears mesh under it. This behavior is a holdover from her character/role during her naval service. The character began wearing the two armors together after getting slashed through her cloth armor during a planet-side fight with an animal. She also wears twin daggers on her waist and her carbine slung across her back.

Character Background
Growing up on an overcrowded world teeming with needy life, Boranga learned early on that the squeaky wheel got the grease. In order to survive, in order to thrive, you had to stand out from the homogenous crowd. Born to service industry parents, Boranga raised himself with an insatiable appetite for dabbling with electronics, his gadgets his only friends. Becoming hooked on self-help books, Boranga believed that in order to have success in life you had to visualize it and then take appropriate actions. He changed his name to Mansa, an ancient term he heard meant King. At the same time he learned about a desert called the Sahara desert. Sahara was the word for desert... so desert desert. With that in mind Mansa took the last name King... or King King. It was a good start to actualizing his dreams.
Mansa's self actualization exercises begin to pay off as does the long hours practicing his public speaking in front of his bathroom mirror. He is hired as a late night infomercial host hawking dubious products to the gullible masses. His style and delivery are memorable and he meets an up and coming journalist who covers the entertainment beat. They hit it off. His sense of humor and wit vibe well with her hard nose grit and morality. Clarity Belle is now an ally.
Mansa's late night gig was too much of a good thing. The late hours required chemical stimulation... which led to dependency and then a fall into addiction. He became erratic, missed work... and was eventually fired. His severance pay amounted to nothing, all of it owed to dealers and thugs. Mansa King is now unemployed... and trying to hide the truth from Clarity Belle.
Mansa gets caught in a drug bust and to avoid prosecution he agrees to become a wired informant for the law. He is expected to be dead in days, yet somehow... he survives... and thrives. His performance skills reach new levels and he becomes a trusted asset. He is officially hired and becomes a trained undercover agent.
Of course Mansa gets himself involved in an investigation that hits too close to home for the powers that be. Mansa uncovers high level corruption between the drug lords and law enforcement. Knowing that he will be forced to take the fall, Mansa runs, dropping off the grid as he struggles to stay out of prison. As he leaves, King helps himself to some technical gear that he believes he is owed.
Things get worse for Mansa. It is either disappear or end up in prison where he knows he will be killed. The icing on the cake is that Cecil Rhodes, the captain of his ex-unit, ends up marrying Clarity Belle. Mansa spends the next few years as a wanderer hoping that they will somehow forget he exists.

Her Royal Highness Princess Eneri Tauribi, 5th of her Name
Homeworld
Vland
Species
Humani (Vlandi)
Description
5' 11", average build, pale ivory skin tone, long brown hair usually tied up in ponytail or bun, brown eyes. Usually wearing a few pieces of jewelry, nothing gaudy.
Eneri is the eldest child, with a younger brother and sister. She grew up in a privileged environment, spending much of her youth riding horses
As she was maturing, her parents expected her to socialize, especially with other noble families. She learned to talk, debate, and carouse, including learning to do so in other dialects.
Loves to pilot a vehicle; drive, fly, pilot, you name it. Got her license to drive and fly; 'borrowed' the family jet a few times to get away but left a lovely 'thank you' letter to her parents.
Followed in the family tradition of going to Military Academy. Choose Navy so she could learn to pilot spacecraft. Got in and did well, graduating with Honours, but a few thought she had 'help' from the Family.
Noticed that she could read people's aura's, didn't think much of it. Tried to read an aura of someone at school and accidently used Psi attack on them. They got hurt, didn't die, event got swept under the rug but they never forgave Eneri for what she did.
Parent's were becoming afraid of Eneri and wanted her out of the house ASAP. Sent her straight to the Adair family on Sol, where their Archduke put Eneri in touch with the Imperium Administrators Corps to further her Psi training.
Her official Psi training went well; Eneri learned the basics and then some of all the 'major' disciplines and started her training with Telepathy so that she might peer into the minds of those she might need to infiltrate one day.
The Corps thought Eneri was a valuable asset and promoted her to Initiate, charging her with teaching and doing research into the Psiontific Method (that's a pun!) in order to help the Corps with the training and recruitment.
She was loving what she was doing and was genuinely happy. She got 'promoted', more like given new tasks without the pay raise, and started teaching full-time with research done on the side into Psionics and Royal Bloodlines.
While studying, she increased her studied of Awareness, which she figured would help her in her research. It turned out to be a great success and she turned out to be a natural at it, using her skills to trace some Noble bloodlines for their Families.
While at a conference, accidently got caught using Psionics by a 'mundane'. It was quickly 'explained' and 'swept under the rug' but she was given a strong verbal lashing and formal reprimand, along with the threat of prison if the events was repeated.
Was promoted to a position of full-time Researcher and Professor. Due to her research, she spent a lot of time working on grant proposals, as well as proposals and presentations to the Corp's leadership. It was dry but necessary.
Given the chance to study under other professors, as well as leading experts in other fields that came by the Corps. She worked with them but was too busy in her own work, didn't advance any of their theories within her research.
Learned advanced Psi techniques to the point where she was the match for most at the Corps. Decided she was done with research and teaching after more ending grant proposals to fund her research. Might as well do it on her own at this point.
Headed out to Oberon-Tribon, where the Corps had a small hidden-away enclave of 'like-minded' people who were doing 'research', some possibly shady but most that just needed privacy and space, for the Corps away from any prying eyes.
As a sort of parting gift, her Parents gifted Eneri a TAS membership so she could go wherever she liked. Eneri took the TAS and, once at Oberon-Tribon, got herself a small apartment and started to work on her Psi talents in a quiet environment.
