• 
  At the dawn of all creation, from which is was born, was an endless sea beneath the empty void, filled with dreams and stardust, Mother Prim. From it emerged the moons, stars, planets, nebulas and what would become life as we know it, the Precursors, an enigmatic race that all organisms call ancestor. Each mass withheld a piece of Mother Prim inside them, a physical essence of creation, simply called Prim in passing. It flows in the air around us, the earth beneath us and our veins inside us. It can be used by gifted individuals, called Casters, to make miracles, like magic, capable of anything one can dream of, but only Pure Prim can perform acts of healing, found deep beneath the earth, a planet’s lifeblood. Corruption can take a planet’s heart, tainting it’s Prim, killing it from the inside. Impure Prim cannot be used to heal, only harm; it sullies the mind of the gifted, transforms beasts into monsters and shifts the face of the planet into an uninhabitable wasteland.
  
• 
  The cosmos are abundant with diverse life, both familiar and unfamiliar to our own reality, sentient alien races inhabiting planets much like Terra the norm. They are united under a ruling dominion, the Alliance, headed by a Council of races from all around the galaxy. They are the driving force of political power, their word is law, though they leave individual government of planets to, well, Governors, and their cabinet. The setting to our story is within the Fatum Mare system of the Amadae galaxy. The system is divided into the Inner, Central and Outer Rings. Cultures are varied and intriguing, due to the vast amount of alien races throughout the cosmos; chances are, if you’ve met one, you haven’t met them all, the system seemingly endless in it’s seemingly endless supply of new and interesting people to meet. Typically the closer you are to the Inner Ring, the better off you are, the most beautiful and prosperous worlds housed within, home worlds of many of the system’s alien races; here is the seat of the Council’s power, as the majority of the system’s populace resides here, the Capital Planet of Ariel. The Central Ring is similar, but is considerably more of a melting pot, with many worlds inhabited by a diverse populace of many differing backgrounds; the Order of The Black Star has it’s greatest presence here, it’s home world the Ocean World, Gangra. Outer Ring is interesting, as it weighs itself an expanse of many experiences. You may find worlds overtaken by pirates and thieves, or worlds eaten alive by Impure Prim. Some of the most inhospitable places in the system make their home here, the people no different, characterized by their ferocity and their treachery.
  
• 
  Our story will follow a group of privateers employed by the government to hunt down a void wyrm, an exception to the species of colossal, yet normally neutral, space-dwelling beasts, that has seemingly been tainted by a large amount of Impure Prim, moving throughout the system and taking out large chunks of planets to absorb it’s lifeblood Prim, an anomaly of cosmic proportions that cannot be ignored.

}open dossier LRS-2760

Long Range Survey dossier #2760​

Basic specifications:
LRS unit type: Bio-drone
Species template: Human
Hair color: #0D47A1 (Dark blue)
Eye color: #1E88E5 (Light blue)
Skin color: #8D6E63 (Light brown)
Height: ~145cm
Weight: ~80kg

“The internals for this one are slightly older, Director. We couldn’t quite streamline the weight of the frame.” -Dr. Wong​

Service history:
Active period: [CLASSIFIED]
Completed surveys: Callisto, Tuchanka, Cadia, [CLASSIFIED]
Current cover identity: Dr. Weiss Heiter, doctorate in Geology, Applied Chemistry, and Xenosociology from University of Sirius-6. Recipient of Prodigy of the Dog Star Award, year 3130.

Notable features:
Renraku AE-2065 Datajack:
Enables interface with any galactic standard computer networks and terminals through hardline connection or wirelessly within 20 meters of a connection point.

“Neural tissue of 2760 has been structured to handle data flow and biofeedback.” -Dr. Wong​

Internal database:
Intended to be regularly updated with detailed knowledge and technical expertise matching the certifications of the current cover identity, but the most recent updates have not been possible due to the length of the unit’s current excursion from base.

(Custom) drone charging dock:
Connected to 2760’s internal reactor and accessed through the back of shoulders, using a proprietary connector meant only for the paired escort drone.

(Custom) aerial recon drone:
Compact drone designed to aid this unit in surveying and self-defense if necessary, capable of hovering using tiltrotors or hoverjets as needed. Can fold into a compact 15cm x 15cm x 4cm state for charging and storage. Onboard armaments include taser and concussive charges.

“2760 has shown anthropomorphizing attitudes towards this drone, as it is her only constant companion on the current deployment. Such behavior is within acceptable psychological parameters.” -Dr. Wong​

Last known status:
Using the guise of “Dr. Weiss Heiter”, 2760 has taken initiative to cut contact with the Enclave and has answered a call from Council command for consulting staff on an expedition spacecraft. This behavior is not part of its existing survey parameters and a direct recall and memory flush by field agents is advised.

“And here is the main reason for our discussion today. Why have you not authorised the recall of unit 2760?” -Dir. Neumann

“Well, I believe that 2760’s curiosity and…uncharacteristic initiative may afford the Enclave some fertile new opportunities. She will be touching down on several planets that should yield promising new findings, and the fact that this excursion is to hunt a void wyrm that has apparently engorged on impure Prim means that if it succeeds, 2760 should be able to bring back abundant samples of it for our work. I ask that she be allowed to complete this task.” -Dr. Wong​

“I am willing to overlook this breach of protocol in light of you and 2760’s exemplary history with the Enclave, Dr. Wong. But be clear: I expect results from this, and I expect you to keep a close eye on 2760 all the way.” -Dir. Neumann.

Created by blending organic and cybernetic components and looking no different from a (considerably augmented) Terran girl, “Weiss” is a bio-drone constructed and deployed by the mysterious organization known as the Horizon Enclave, rumored to be a remnant of early Terran colonists of the Fatum Mare system, now driven to observe and catalog the natural details of every planet in the system and its inhabitants to an unknown end.

Usually deployed to infiltrate academic establishments, Weiss has lived many human lives and made many relationships, abandoning just as many when her duty calls her elsewhere. Despite her programmed curiosity, she has seen many of the dangers and misdeeds of the galaxy’s inhabitants on her travels, and her experience has tempered her demeanor, giving her a generally serene (some might say angelic) bearing and an attitude that is generally cautious or condescending to sapient beings, and more comfortable with animals or machines.

On her most recent deployment, she cut open contact with Dr. Wong, her handler in the Enclave, and joined the excursion from Ariel for reasons even she isn’t sure of. Maybe she just wanted to travel and use her knowledge on her own initiative for once. Or maybe she’s looking for people she can stay with for at least a bit longer before leaving them behind.

  Faemiliar 5.5 | Lesbian| The Loveable Rogue
  
  ​
• 
  ~Appearance:
  
  Calli is short with dark orangey-brown hair with fuzzy orangey-red skin with several broad brown stripes that cross her forehead, cheeks, back, arms, thighs and tail. She is curvy enough but a strong tight bod is what matters more to her. Peak physical fitness and fine musculature she values much more so than any sultry hourglass figure could provide. She has heterochromia with her left eye coloured green and her right eye coloured yellow. Regardless of colour there always seems to be a glint or shine in her eye whenever she has an idea; terrible or otherwise random. She has a smile firmly stamped upon her lips and shiny, sharp white teeth constantly flashing her signature grin, followed by a wink and nod. ​
  ​
  She is quite practical with her clothes, not too showy and definitely function over form mentality. Style wise, Calli is normally found in riding leathers and a white tee, Fibre-weave leggings, boots or white sneakers. Her colour schemes may be drab and even dark, but her orange coloured body, big shiny eyes and vibrant personality more than make up the monochromatic stylings of the Faeralis female. But the one thing she always seems to wear is gloves or other some other kind of hand wear; Calli always complains that her hands are cold. And so that's where her nickname "Ms. Mittens" comes from. ​
  
  Body Mods/Scars: Gold and Black Tattoos, Pierced: ears, septum, navel and hood. Scars from fights and falls, but massive one on her left thigh which she will love to embellish the story of the bitemark.

  Spoiler: Race: Faeralis

  ~Race: Faemiliars 5.5 (Faeralis):
  

  Calli is a part of a freeroaming bio-engineered race that has recently adoped the name: Faeralis. Originally from Ziggurai-07, the Faemiliars were first produced as small, toy-sized creatures. They were created to be little, walking, talking (and sometimes swimming or flying) pets for those who may afford such exotic luxury. The 'Fae' part of their naming scheme comes from the word 'faeries' which is how the first 2 generations were modelled; little adorable elfin creatures. The 'Familiar' part of their naming scheme was a mix of 'family' and 'familiar' as in creatures that bonded with supernatural beings via telepathic or empathic bonds. But by the time the 3rd and 4th gens came about, the bio-engineered pets took on more of sinister roles. Gen 3 were part of a shadow war meant for sabotage and subterfuge. Gen 4 were outright mass-produced beasts of all-out-war. ​

  ​

  But as the wars waned the Faemiliars were soon corralled and later culled due to signed peace treatises and accords for the Ziggurai solar system and neighbouring systems, Pyramius and Tempalo. Yet no one had foreseen the emergent property of the 3rd and 4th gens. Engineered to be infertile, it seemed as if the gen 3 and gen 4 managed to cross breed. And thus the 5th generation came to be. For years they kept hidden, cloistered away amongst only their own kind. Their population grew quickly as the 5th gen are fully grown adults after only 4-5 years old. ​

  ​

  Although living together in close quarters, they still split into 2 separate species: the canidae and felinae. And finally when they were discovered, hidden amongst the populace of the Tri-sister systems, they were hunted down with extreme prejudice. The survivors boarded their space vessels and decided to split up, canidae went one way, felinae went the other. Far off into interstellar space they found themselves, separated, but still thriving.​

  ​

  Calli's great-grandparents were part of that exodus and joined the ships that branched away from the main group of felidae where they landed on a hospitable mining planet populated of mostly human colonists. They found refuge and proliferated here on Vatarri-05. And it was a soon enough they became a space faring race again, as her grandparents generation of felidae Faemiliars took to the stars and first coined the name for themselves; the Faeralis. ​

[0stinato]

--Spooky Professional--

Full Name: Ar’tur Lyster

Preferred Name(s): Criminal identity: Lull

Race: Zirzolan

Race Explanation:

Zirzola is a small, arid planet whose soil isn’t suited for large-scale arable farming. This situation facilitated the evolution of the humanoid species known as the Zirzolans (or Zirzol). They are functionally carnivorous, due to their need for pastoral farms due to the planet’s form and are also noticeably larger than Terrans by about 5%. This size difference has been theorised to have improved survival through both athleticism and water retention on a dry planet. (Moxie et al.) Zirzolans also have the ability to process blood, and seem unaffected by prions (Zaggeb and Phil), which explains the numerous records of cannibalism among Zirzolans at times of famine and desperation. When this finding was released into the scientific sphere, it resulted in some negative connotations, and resulted in Zirzolans being referred to negatively as ‘Zampires.’

Zirzolans began to develop brain functions to ‘catch and interpret projective psionic activity’ (D’ran et al.), allowing the Zirzolans to understand strong, simple projective thought of their farm animals. Farming would become much easier, since a Zirzolan farmer would instantly know what their animals needed, and which ones might be unwell.

In addition, Zirzolan brains develop in childhood to project their own psionic activities to a much lesser extent, meaning, from the age of about 4-5 and onwards, a Zirzolan cannot ‘catch and interpret’ the psionic activities of another Zirzolan. This also appears to be a method of species survival, as a parent Zirzolan can instantly understand the needs of their infant through their psionic interpretation.

Most other species project psionic activity, and so a Zirzolan can interpret simple, strong feelings or apprehensions as they would with their own young, or animals. This has assisted in rocketing Zirzola into the socio-political eye of the galaxy, and many Zirzolans have used their psionic interpretations to become skilled interrogators, lethal combatants and charismatic leaders. However, the downside of being surrounded by other species is, according to many Zirzolans, having to withstand a near-constant cacophony of psionic noise which cannot be ignored. It is not uncommon for an off-planet Zirzolan to seek out certain narcotics which dull their sensitivity to psionic projection.

One other oddity of the Zirzolan species is that they are an intersex species. Moxie et al. furthered their survival theory with a footnote that their intersex nature assists in breeding, as all partners in a relationship could become pregnant together. Notably, asexual reproduction (breeding with oneself) has never been successful.

Gender: Intersex (male pronouns)

Age: 38

Height: 6’7”

Weight: 280lbs or ~127kg or ~20 stone

Personality: He’s got about three modes. Mode 1, mellow and calm, usually when high, likes a little bit of privacy. Mode 2, surprisingly professional and driven, pretty good at taking criticism, but doesn’t like being told what to do in an area he considers himself the ‘most experienced’ in.

Ideals:
- Cleanliness – Lull is a bit of a germaphobe.
- Nihilism – Most of what he does comes down to ‘why not, I’m gonna die anyway.’
- Friends – Likes people who don’t take things too seriously, and people who tell the truth. Liars cause too much mental dissonance, since he can interpret their own awareness of their lies. Gets a bit tiring.

Bonds:
- Sibling: L’is Lyster – Lull is exceptionally protective over her.
- Sibling: Rhy’sis Lyster – Lull barely knows Rhy’sis, owing to his separation from Rhy’sis as a child when one of their 3 parents left, taking Rhy’sis with them.
- Someone who definitely isn’t Lull’s drug dealer.
- Parole officer - Even in space, they gotta check you're not breaking parole.

Flaws:
- What a list.
- Smoker of cigarettes (will vape if he really has to).
- Definitely not addicted to space narcotics (sparcotics?) that dull his psionic interpretation.
- Criminal – mostly what he would term ‘little’ things like full body assault or an actual heist, but he’s done some time, and has passed parole enough to get onto the government Skilled Criminal Rehabilitation programme.
- Not really that friendly.
- In fact, not friendly at all.
- But he’s pretty witty if you get to know him.
- Will threaten to eat you in the real Zampire way. For his own amusement.

Skill(s):
- Skilled with firearms – due to Lull’s size (his weight in particular), he is not suited for hand-to-hand combat, but his proficiency with firearms more than makes up for that. His psionic abilities make him a deadly foe against those with projected psionic activity.
- Juggernaut - Even though hand-to-hand combat isn't his specialty, he's very good at taking a few hits. His childhood was pretty dire, so his ability to shrug off the mental shock that comes with a physical attack is much higher than normal. He is also suited to heavy armour, and has worn it in the past when conducting his... criminal affairs.
- Lying and subtlety – despite his appearance, Lull can be very convincing. He can adopt a tone of speaking which essentially gaslights others, making them question what they’ve been thinking. This isn’t any kind of Zirzolan ability though, he’s just developed this after years of criminal activity and too much attention from the law.
- Singing - Pretty good at singing. I bet that'll come in really handy in this kill-the-void-wyrm mission.

Trivia:
Lull is on this ship because he’s part of a government programme to ‘pardon’ criminals in an effort to, supposedly, rehabilitate them. In short, if he and the crew kill the void wyrm. he will gain full immunity from his past crimes and may get more bounty work in future; if, however, the void wyrm survives, it’ll likely destroy the ship so then Lull won’t be a problem anymore. Either way, it's a win-win for the government. And, in a way, it's a win-win for Lull too because either he wins his freedom or he dies and as a strong nihilist he's not opposed to that bit of freedom.

(If any changes need to be made, do let me know in PM or OOC.)
