former terran lieutennant x-bountyhunter veln nautica odin ursa wanderor magewarrior priest erau (pronounced "rau") is one of the enhanced generation a child who not only benefited from a direct brain to processor connection like the other Children but also enjoyed a certain number of alterations to his physical structure his eyesight has been modified to read weaknesses in armour his limbs are composed of reinforced duranium at a mere 19 years of age, he is capable of lifting 3 times his own body weight during the war with the terrans, he served as lieutenant in a stealth squadron his job was simple jump out of hyperspace attacking the enemy behind their lines and jump out before they can react the position is widely recognised as possibly the most dishonourable during the war the terrans even had a price on his head but when the drakkaren invaded the lines blurred a little enough to make him wonder which lines he should be jumping in the first place... erau deserted his post two weeks after the attack only one member of his squad had appeared at the mission briefing his friend sarah it would appear that the lines had lost their clarity too much no one knew who the enemy was anymore traits - (in order of intensity) dislikes authority violent temperamental has a dark, morbid streak. erau sometimes enjoys watching his victims die extremely disorganised, prefers in most cases the direct, abrupt, and thoughtless approach. due to the questionable nature of his duties during the war erau has a difficult time recruiting people for his mission. he knows who he can trust and has difficulty extending this trust to anyone else as a child he learned about the art of war the importance of strength and fear erau's weapon is the cannon built into his right arm she is a soldier and a member of the terran alliance once faithful to her breed she's no longer sure her parents were soldiers as were their parents her mother was the hero of garrian vii at the start of the war she was quite sure as to the success of her people over that of the Children but as the war waged on and as her friends slowly died around her her belief in the righteousness of her cause began to fade after the drakkaren attack kara joined the hundreds of deserters not sure where she was going only sure that she didn't want to keep fighting the Children who wants to fight when everyone was going to die anyway.... kara was pushed into the drakkaren war by her past association with the military she was on kobal when the drakkaren first attacked she was one of only six survivors who managed to pull themselves from the rubble her surviving was taken as a sign all over the terran alliance some said she had been blessed and would be the one to deliver the terrans from both the Children and the new enemy others claimed that she was responsible for the incursion kara used this popularity to mount a counter offensive against the drakkaren homeworld but failed in her attempt after the terran alliance bombed her headquarters deciding that they wished to reach a diplomatic end to the war. the invaders did not listen and within weeks the entire alliance was in ruins. kara begins the game just after receiving news of the destruction of the organised terran military she leaves mars, in search of the enemy homeworld. deciding first to head for ferrin, a recently attacked world in hopes of learning more about her new enemy traits organised introverted passionate controlled charismatic excellent leadership skills kara was not popular among the Children during the past war and as a result will have some difficulty recruiting members of that breed. she is an excellent leader who does not know defeat, and this will draw people to her but not all will be for her benefit. she makes both a powerful ally and a dangerous enemy but her weakness lies in her compassion and trust. as a child, kara was taught by religious leaders and combat masters she has come to appreciate the importance of order and patience. kara's weapon is her mother's sword. forged with the exoskeleton of nemesis invaders who attacked her world five decades ago. adopted by the state at a young age after the death of his family during a food riot on his homeworld, simon is a pacifist who was trained in the art of war from childhood and escaped to a sanctuary when he came of age. while he is a pacifist at heart, drake does not lack the skill required to survive in combat using the whip for distance attack will do but he prefers the feel of hand to hand a deeply buried frustration with the world is hidden in his heart left behind with the death of his family as well as from his conditioning in the years under the state. his heart lies in the healing touch the ability to heal if he had his life to do over again he would have followed his heart into the healing arts traits quiet pessimistic enduring strong (emotionally) possibly the one character who'll join your team with the least effort as he's looking for purpose in his life and thinks that maybe he might end up a martyr some day.... simon is effective with both light weapons and white magic but he's not capable of carrying the heavier weapons and armour an x-bounty hunter who owes allegiance to no one and therefore has little interest in the current conflict she has survived the past war by watching out for herself has no family no friends and a distrustful attitude her skin bears multiple scars from her various travels the most prominent of which lies above her left eye which she received as a young child abandoned by her parents and left to survive on the streets of her homeworld she was attacked and beaten by others who were interested in the bread she'd stolen no one has ever cared for her and she has in return never cared for anyone else her weapon of choice is the scourge a long metallic whip, with a serrated claw on the end an excellent tool for dispatching either species of human nautica has lived only 23 years in this life, extremely young considering the longevity of her race she has survived by trading her services as healer for shelter and food along her way she has no home no family and no friends and most importantly she likes her life as her race has not been targeted by the new enemy she has no inclination to join either side in the fight her cause is life and the preservation of it if she can be persuaded that your cause is just and not merely another attempt to put one race above another she just may join you her strongest avatar is water therefore her strongest spells are based in that area among her summoned monsters are leviathan, siva, proteus and ancamna fitting to her character, nautica makes a terrible warrior. she cannot wield heavy weapons or support strong armour she is instead well suited with a heavy robe and staff and should be kept in the back row to avoid physical damage her magic is strong however both a gifted healer and devastating sorceress her heart commands the seas and so many of her attacks are water based traits quiet dark passive knowledgeable cautious cynical as a character who respects life above all else it can be extremely difficult to convince her to join the party the deeds you perform must convince her that you have no interest in promoting your own "breed" and that you are rather trying to save both sides from destruction her weapon of choice is a staff not all the veln were pacifists there were some in fact who made it their business to interfere with the lives of both the nemesis and the terran alliance. odin lived as a sort of space pirate during the years before the new enemy came invading supply lines on both sides of the war stripping cargo from transports underneath the thick shell of the hardened criminal he believes himself to be lies the heart of human patriot and the soul of a warrior the strongest of the three veln who may join you on your journey odin is wary of the war and does not wish to get involved not because he is afraid of dying but because he is afraid that he might die leaving his daughter to fend for herself. an age old priest of the old order - a faith existing long before humanity reached space ursa's strength lies in holy magic that which controls the universe around us standing a mere 5'9" she hobbles about leaning on her staff for support and relying upon her magic to maintain her strength the reasons for ursa's intrest in your quest are questionable she only seems to show a simple intrest or curiosity nothing substantial enough to warrant risking her life or is there... there has been some speculation that the new enemy is somehow linked to the old order but that rumor has yet to be confirmed while ursa may be increadibly powerful as a priest, she serves mainly as a healing member of your team left in the back row most often she casts conditional and healing spells occasionally taking her turn on the offensive with some costly but obscenely damaging spells additional characters the result of terran gene manipulation orion is the only one of his kind 7'4" in height and weighing 436lbs orion possesses a deep hatred for the alliance as it was they who 'cursed' them with this form a nemesis female who has undiscovered roots with the veln since she was young, she's possessed certain skills that simply could not be replicated by any sort of science and because of the value of these skills she has been forced to hide them from those around her erau, her childhood friend is the only one who knows her secrets as she serves as a sort of concience for the young man calming his temper when he begins to lose control and supporting him when he needs it
