[queanbean]

Character Name: Sylvanna Price
Age: 35
Sex: Female
Occupation/Role in Sanctuary: Agriculture scientist/Ecologist

Appearance: Short and fit with a surprising amount of strength. She stands at about 5'2 but don't think she isn't capable of hoisting sacks of potatoes that outweigh her, rare as that may be these days. Though she doesn't typically wear them otherwise, while she's in the garden or while reading she has big round glasses.

Personality Traits: Sylvanna can be summed up in a handful of words: competent, mild, and confident. She's was once the eldest sibling in her family and it's easy to tell. While her form of affection is 'tough love' and you won't find her getting visibly flustered over pretty much anything, she's responsible and caring in her own ways. That being said, Sylv has a shorter temper than most.

Background/History: Sylvanna was raised with earth and green. Her parents both worked in agriculture and worked ceaslessly to cultivate a wealth of crops, as well as a large family. Sylvanna's the only one left now, save for her cousin's kid, Meg, who she took in when their bodies were discovered. She never really thought about having kids - having siblings was far more than enough for her - and didn't entertain much in the ways of romance, but Meg is alright. They have each other, and get along fine. At the end of it all, they're family and having genuine family in times like these is rare.

Skills/Abilities: Microbiology, agricultural science, artificial pollination techniques and species splicing.

Strengths: Physical strength, organization, public speaking, intelligence, curiosity
Weaknesses: Short fuse, she can plant and grow the food but don't let her cook it, awkward with affection

Goals/Motivations: Keep the colony alive, don't let humanity die. Planting potatoes and other crops seems like a simple enough job but the pressure comes with knowing that if she isn't able to cultivate and produce enough, people will die. People need food to live and she's the one with the knowledge to keep things growing, even in an environment that isn't always so kind to her efforts.

Relationships/Interactions with other characters: Guardian of her late cousin's daughter, Meg.

  Even as a kid, Koran could see things that others couldn't. Not in terms of imaginary friends - even though he had those too - but more along the lines of patterns and connections. His mind always had a way of fitting things into a puzzle and math and science came pretty naturally for him. His proficiency led to curiosity and his curiosity led to proficiency until he was recognized as a young talent in his late teens.
  
  However, an unfortunate incident happened when his sister got sick and the doctors insisted that the technology to save her life didn't and he didn't have the medical knowledge to prove them wrong. He had to watch his sister die because she was "impossible" to save. Since then, life for him has been about proving anything can be done. He travelled round the world, gathering information where he could, absorbing information like a sponge, and trying to push the boundaries of what could be created. He didn't much care whether it was for good or bad, if the problem presented was intriguing enough, he devoted his time to it until he found an answer. And, sure, some of his inventions have been used for terrible things, but some of his inventions have also made life better for a lot of people. In fact, all things considered, he's sitting at a NET positive impact on human life and his conscience is very much at peace with that.
  
  All this to say that when the offer to save literally the entire human race from extinction, undoubtedly the most herculean task one could be presented, he had no choice but to say yes. This new adventure brough a flutter to his heart and a fire in his blood. Doing the impossible was always fun to him; but saving the whole world from its own self was just as impossible as the word could get - and the high of being able to tackle it is a high Koran never intends to get down from.

  "Impossible is a word made up to give an excuse to the lazy”​

  Maybe not-so-positive traits: Stubborn, Proud, Morally-gray, Easily Distracted
  Likes: Starry nights, Spicy food, A nice adrenaline rush, Creating new things, pranking people
  Dislikes: Loading
  
  
  In anything Koran does, he's just trying to have fun and - even though it doesn't always seem like it - help other people have fun as well. He also looks at things in the long run, meaning that if he believes a little bad now will lead to good in the future, then he'll gladly do the little bad thing. At the end of the day though, he's just trying to do what's best for those he loves and cares about.
  
  However, because he's always been able to see patterns and connections that almost nobody else can, he is very likely to insist on his way and even go behind people's back to get it done. This has left a few people to dislike his guts but he'd rather try and be wrong and know that he tried, then be right and know that he let someone stop him.
  
  He is the type of person that can think his way out of any situation he's come across and so believes very much in in-the-moment planning and isn't so much of a fan of the structured, organized and detailed plans that a lot of his fellow engineers are more fond of.

[okhi2]

Character Name: Marv Timmins
Age: 28
Sex: M
Occupation/Role in Sanctuary: Human Behavior Researcher ('they keep confusing me for HR! I can't do human resources!')

Appearance: Lazy black hair with a-many a fly-aways. Uncoordinatedly-shaved stubbles of dark facial hair; messy, thick, sturdy eyebrows. They tend to twitch and quirk when he gets particularly expressive... however, usually he is one to sit back and observe, not participate or fight. He's 5'8, an average height, but has the demeanor of a much taller person, he acts as if he was large and lanky. If one were to ask a person on the street, "is Marv more like a horizontal or vertical line," They'd say vertical, even though he is quite broad in his shoulders and upper-arms. Some people, who know Marv better than the average person, might otherwise describe him as "a diagonal line", which accords nicely alongside his personality.

Marv wears ill-suiting grandpa fashion; thick, wooly sweaters, shirts with collars, button-ups. He prefers dark jeans, or straight black workpants, wears cardigans or his old and well-worn dark puffer-coat.

Always wears a lanyard -- many people wonder why, as there is no great use for his lanyard. Nothing is attached to it, but perhaps he is keeping it open for the day that he has something to attach to it -- ? Who knows, really. Marv is just a bit of a strange guy, and this is easily picked up on when looking at him.

He has a sharp, straight nose. His eyes are brown.

Personality Traits:

- Overall, a sweetheart, but often garners more pity than respect.
- Awkward, has a good heart but issues translating that to others.
- Often runs into social blunders and mishaps.
- A bit gullible, and has the tendency to take things at face-value; however, when it comes to people, he is always asking why, and wanting to challenge people on their own understanding of themselves.
- He treats others with great respect and amiability, and believes that you can learn something valuable from anyone you meet.
- Marv is not someone you should rely on for important tasks. He is often bright in all of the wrong places, his mom would say. He can't file your taxes, but he can tell you why you're scared of death. Insightful, sure. Useful... eh... Depends what you need.

Background/History: I don't know what exactly happened, but I know that Marv accidentally found himself thrown into this group after trying his best and failing in many other areas of his life. Fired from other jobs, flunked college, what have you. He definitely ended up working in the group because he was lucky enough to have someone who knew someone who was involved with Adam or the research team, and they felt enough pity on him to introduce him to the group, and then essentially became a... personality hire.

Skills/Abilities:

Strengths: Good at understanding others. Full of social blunders, but he is incredibly earnest, and naturally tends to make space for others to open up. Most people would feel safe around Marv. Very data driven, likes to "connect pieces together", loves to hypothesis and test.

Weaknesses: I feel as if this section is apparent from all of the other things I've said about him. He's a sweetheart, well-meaning, a bit obtuse and unhelpful at times.

Goals/Motivations: Wants to connect with others; find his 'purpose', do something good for the world.

Relationships/Interactions with other characters: I'm not sure. I think he'd often hang around Adam because he doesn't know how to hang around others, make friends in groups... I imagine him standing around Adam like a son does to his dad, when his dad's taken him to work and is chatting with co-workers. That awkward, little, I-don't-know-what-I'm-supposed-to-do desperate feeling you get when you're a kid. That's how Marv consistently acts. He's the physical manifestation of 'what do I do with my hands???'

[queanbean]

Character Name: Margaret "Meg" Belkin
Age: 12
Sex: Female
Occupation/Role in Sanctuary: Scout, general helper

Appearance: 4'10 and thin. She gets into a lot of trouble and always has some sort of bandages or bruises. She's only 12 but her hands are already calloused from hard work - a sign of the times.

Personality Traits: To put it shortly, she's a brat. Hardworking, but still a brat and a bully. Turns out losing most your family and not really having any other kids around to socialize with makes a great environment for fostering personality issues. She follows orders fine and likes doing work around the garden plots or kitchen, but she also likes looking down on people she thinks are weak, probably because she's projecting and doesn't want to admit that she's scared too.

Background/History: Kelsey and Isaiah Belkin brought her into the world but didn't stick around very long after. She was 7 when they passed, leaving her in the care of her father's cousin, Sylvanna. She'd met the lady a good amount of times - their remaining family was pretty tight knit then, they sorta had to be - but it definitely wasn't a smooth transition. She'd run away, well as far as someone could run away in the bunker, and put up quite the fight. Thinking back on it now, Meg is pretty embarrassed about how childish she'd been then, when Sylvanna was just trying to help her. They get along well now, Meg appreciating that Sylvanna is smart and strong despite only being a few inches taller than a 12 year old, and Sylvanna giving Meg the freedom and space to work and explore.

Skills/Abilities: Climbing, gardening, falling asleep literally anywhere.

Strengths: She's small and thin and can get into spaces others can't, doesn't get flustered or outwardly frightened easily, observant.
Weaknesses: Doesn't have many/any friends, an even shorter fuse than Sylvanna, not very strong.

Goals/Motivations: For now, survive and be useful. If she's useful, people don't have to like her.

Relationships/Interactions with other characters: Raised by Sylvanna after her parents died in an accident. She respects her.
Additional Notes: Meg still has her baby blanket hidden away in her stash of things and sleeps with it as often as she can, even if it's barely more than a rag. If anyone ever said anything about it though she'd probably throw hands.
