Also, to those writing their CS, please don't put any firearms into your Equipment section.
We won't be starting the RP with much in terms of proper weapons, aside from a couple survival rifles for hunting / security purposes. The colonists are not exactly expecting to fight anyone on the planet, so they aren't necessarily dressed for war. Instead, put down your general utilities, tools and any other important bits and pieces in Equipment.

Thank you kindly

Age: 28

Strengths:
◉ Green Thumb: Henri used to work in a hydroponic farm, tending to delicate plants and crops. Here, he had a chance to study various plant lives and the optimal conditions for their growth.
◉ Happy Diplomat: Henri has some experiences in resolving conflicts between people. If he could help it at all, the man would always prefer a middle ground.
◉ Hauler: Sometimes in Henri's past life might've involved him hauling things around, or maybe he was some sort of heavy-lifter. Regardless, he can haul heavy items around with ease.
◉ Strong Arms: Perhaps as a result of toting heavy objects around. Henri has an incredibly powerful right hook.

Weaknesses:
◉ Claustrophobia
◉ Naive Optimist

Memories:
◉ For most of his previous life, Henri lived in Quebec, Canada, where he participated in particular studies regarding crops growth in extreme environments.
◉ Henri remembers leaving his old parents behind, and this took a serious toll on his mental health. He'd since learned to live with this loss, but he does not forget.

NAME: Talullah A. Northe
Classified

art by me

Spoiler: Physical Description

Often being described as a ‘spitting image’ of her mother, Talullah is an attractive young woman who was born with mousy brown hair and light green eyes. Her hair is long and straight, falling just past her shoulder blades with thick cut bangs that frames her face perfectly.
Despite these details, Tali has very feminine features that are soft and round, and dusted with sun freckles; her eyelashes are long, dark and thick, crowning her doe-like eyes from top to bottom, and she has a small button nose. Her build is rather lithe and athletic like a dancer, and in contrast to her passion for hiking and other outdoor activities that seems to suggest her physical strength, her muscles seem hidden in her dainty design. She has a slight hourglass build and stands at a below average height of roughly four foot nine inches tall (4’9”, or 150cm). Talullah is at the perfect weight for her size, but on the skinnier side.

Nicknames: Tali, Lulu, Lullah, Talu
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She / Her

Strengths:
◉ Great Survival Instincts - from upbringing.
◉ Experienced in Gun Handling & Archery - from hunting skill; adolescence.
◉ Excels in Animal Handling - from upbringing & college career.
◉ Minor Medical Knowledge - from survivalist.
◉ Sharp Eyes - from hunting skill.

Weaknesses:
◉ Fear of heights - from phobia.
◉ Physical Combat - from lack of experience.
◉ Fear of the Dark - from unknown new world.
◉ Ruled by Emotions - from personality.
◉ Fatally Apathetic - from personality.

Spoiler: Personality

◉ Kind, generous, apathetic towards others.
◉ Tends to disregard her own needs in favour of helping/pleasing others.
◉ Emotional, stubborn, a little sensitive.
◉ Acts impulsively based on what she feels, rather than looking at things logically and rationally.
◉ Adventurous, curious, somewhat childish.
◉ Sarcastic, witty, dorky - flusters easily.
◉ Trusting, loyal, will slap a bitch.

Fears: Acrophobia - an extreme or irrational fear of heights, especially when one is not particularly high up. While Tali can handle most levels of minor elevation, being close to the edge of some taller heights can induce irrational panic. She absolutely hates going anywhere up high that looks unsafe, preferring to keep both feet securely on the ground.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Habits/Quirks: Will steal your food and your hoodies if you aren't careful.

Sexuality: Heterosexual (bicurious)
Relationships:

◉ Friends [TBA in RP]​

◉ Open for romance ​

  Spoiler: First aid kit image

  
• Water canteen
• Flashlight
• Swiss Army Knife

◉ Grappling Hook
◉ Hunting knife
◉ Hunting bow & quiver of arrows [x20]
◉ Parka coat with fur trim

Spoiler: Memories

Talullah Avery Northe was born to two loving parents who had her later on in their lives after years of struggling to concieve, and many fertility treatments. As an only child, she was doted on - she remembers all of this, however mostly just as glimpses and voices, memories of their smiles. She doesn't recall her parents names, which greatly upsets her, though she does recall the russian blue kitten she used to own, which she had named Inigo.

Tali does also recall several events of the years leading up to Project EDEN. She was apart of a scouts group for a few years, and often accompanied her family on hunting trips - she has some prior experience handling guns thanks to this. She was the outdoorsy type, always going on adventures and hiking trips, camping in the deep woodlands - a passion which came hand-in-hand with her love for animals. During her college career she studied in zoology and animal care, wanting to use both her passions and eventually work in some kind of nature reserve caring for endangered species.

Honestly, she isn't really sure why she joined this program to begin with, and has no solid memories after this.

NAME: Vivian Wolf
Classified
Appearance:

Age: 31
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: F>M [bi]
Strengths:
◉ Strong! She may not look it but years of lifting machine parts is quite the workout.
◉ Nimble! Squeezing and twisting into awkward positions makes her comfortable navigating tight spaces.
◉ Resilient to heat! Machines can be hot and even hotter in hot places.
◉ Tough! Bumps, scrapes, cuts and bruises are a daily affair.
◉ Firearm familiarity! Her time spent in the military has her well acquainted with guns, though she was a mechanic and seldom used them and has never taken a life.

Weaknesses:
◉ Hearing damage. Not deaf but easier to sneak up on and in loud areas she might as well be deaf.
◉ Bad temper. Outside of her general intensity if she’s pushed to the boiling point, she can really fly off the handle.
◉ Survival illiterate. Vivian Has virtually zero survival skills in the wild. Without ample supplies or a more skilled survivalist she’s virtually helpless in the wild.
◉ Brutish fighter. Though she’s strong she has little fighting finesse making her predictable. Her always max strength attacks telegraph like an early game boss.

Personality:
◉ Ambitious. Always one to go forward with a plan no matter how large. Though her attitude may not say it some times Vivian's always happy to help
◉ Intense. Though not hyperactive she burns with energy. It shows in her actions and the way she speaks. This compounds with the blunt way she can approach things.
◉ Loyal. Though she doesn’t give her word often, though should she, Vivian would bend heaven and earth to see it finished. Like them or not she wouldn’t allow anything bad to come to one of her team.
◉ Dense. Social cues and hints are entirely wasted on her.

Relationships: [Claimable]
Equipment: A satchel containing her toolkit. It includes: multiple adjustable wrenches for various applications, a hammer, a large prybar, and various screwdrivers. She carries only a couple power tools given only so much work can be done with batteries. These include a drill with bits, and an angle grinder. Finally, she has a high-quality respirator.

Memories:
◉ Most of her memories are of her extended time as a military mechanic working on any and all machines under the sun.
◉ Later in her career she was not in the field as often while she put her mechanical prowess to designing and manufacturing machinery.
◉ Was integral to the Project Eden designing and constructing the cryopods and nanofabricator. This is what earned her one of the cryopods for herself within the project.

NAME: Filip Kowalski
Classified
Appearance:

Spoiler

Filip is a lanky male, standing at the solid height of 6'2". His skin is a natural light tan with a little bit of scruff on his chin. Sometimes people might debate about this but he has gray-green eyes, along with medium-brown hair that curls and reaches his shoulders. Below his clothing, he can be seen with many scars. Most are on his upper back and arms.

Age: 25
Pronouns: He/Him
Sexuality: Bisexual, leaning towards females.
Strengths:
◉ Technology. While some concepts are foreign to him due to the time period, he can usually learn how it works and how to repair it generally quickly.
◉ Filip is very hardworking, though most of the time its personal projects, and things he thinks are necessary.
◉ He considers it to be a good thing of how intimidating some may strike him to be, able to interrogate others if needed.
◉ Pretty good at climbing, thinks it's therapeutic and calming.
Weaknesses:
◉ He can be rather blunt with his words, sometimes coming off as an asshole when in reality he's just an idiot.
◉ Socially, especially when it comes to romantic situations, he is unreliable. Flusters or even runs away most likely.
◉ Hand to hand combat is not ideal for him, he can deal damage from far away or help strategize combat.
◉ Filip can get rather distracted in his work at times if left alone, wandering off on his own, and just keeping to himself.

Personality: Filip tends to be a rebel type character, hot-headed, and often doesn't listen when forced to do things. While he means well, it can often come off wrong in the sense that he's stubborn and has a hard time agreeing with people that don't agree with him. Basically, he's your local tough asshole who thinks he knows everything. But for the most part, if you earn his respect he'll be the most loyal guy you know.
Relationships: Claimable
Equipment:
All of this is gathered into a singular duffle bag:
◉ A grappling hook, along with a rope that is about 2 km.
◉ A toolkit carrying multi-use tools, as well as
◉ A journal that he writes about locations he finds, as well as little doodles of animals sometimes.
◉ A handful of pens.

Memories:
Filip briefly remembers living in Poland, having a loyal companion in the shape of a dog, and running away from home when he was rather young. Sometimes he might have flashbacks of bright lights or the sounds of guns, but nothing other than that.

NAME: Aisha Kalashnikov
Classified
Appearance:
Artist: WLOP

Height: 170 cm (5'7")
Build: Noodle-like arms, thicker waist

Age: 29
Pronouns: She, Her
Sexuality: Bisexual

Strengths:
◉ Travel-Wise: After years of wandering around in suburbs and city streets alike, she knows numerous locations like the back of her hand and has knowledge of even more. But with the world as it is now, she isn't sure if it will be of any use.
◉ Quick Reflexes: With a swift brain and even speedier limbs, her reflexes often take the brunt of her bad decisions.
◉ Voice of a Lark: Aisha has the lungs of a swimmer and amateur singing skills to match it. Stay around her long enough and one can hear her humming about everything from the weather to her shoulder pains.
◉ Stringed Virtuoso: As a classical musician who learnt the violin, viola and ukulele, there is no annoyingly repetitive pop song she cannot play on her stringed instruments.

Weaknesses:
◉ Conflict Avoidance: Whether physical or otherwise, she has never been one for a fight. Part of it is because she is not particularly adept at physical combat, another part of it is because she doesn't care for it, preferring a calm discussion over anything that would devolve into angry shouting or a heated brawl.
◉ Flighty and Fickle: Her penchant to change her mind at the drop of a hat and tendencies forget her old commitments doesn't bode well for long-term encounters.
◉ No Sense of Danger: She jumps straight into situations that seem quite odd with no fear or awareness of self-preservation.
◉ Impaired Smell and Taste: If you spray a pungent perfume at her, chances are she'll walk straight through it without a change in expression. Her tastebuds still work, but considering how smell affects taste, her notions of deliciousness do fall into the extreme category.

Personality: Aisha is affable to a fault, and has no morals to speak of when it comes to those she cares for. Not that she has morals regarding anything else either, but at least for those, she's fairly good at pretending they exist. She can't read the atmosphere of the room for the life of her and often makes lighthearted comments during times she really shouldn't. Her inquisitiveness can lead to as many predicaments as it can opportunities, and most aren't sure whether to call her out on her behaviour or leave her flitting.

Relationships: [Claimable]

Equipment:
◉ Small tactical hatchet with a matte black finish
◉ Nicked dog collar with a tag shaped like a quaver (eighth note)
◉ Violin case with music sheets and a block of rosin stuffed within, but no violin
◉ Sky blue soprano ukulele with "Love, Maya" written on the side of the body

Memories:
Specific
◉ Aisha remembers falling in high above pastoral grasslands, feeling not fear or despair, but exhilaration. Her right hand tugs the rip-cord of a parachute, and she is yanked up into the air.
◉ She looks back on fireworks in vibrant vermillions and over-bright greens exploding with crackling booms in the dead of night, snow falling around her person, and puffing breaths of white into her hands.
◉ She recalls an ugly green tent under a star swept sky, a Dobermann with a scarred eye resting at her feet, a warm smile from someone she just cannot catch.
General
◉ She remembers information of towns, cities and suburbs of different countries and continents. One place that routinely appears in her mind is the Kazakhstan capital, Nur-Sultan, and its countryside.
◉ Music theory, Tchaikovsky and random pop songs have stuck in her mind through her sleep in space.

NAME: Jeanette Dushkova
Classified
Appearance:

(Minus gun and knife, yknow)
Age: 28
Pronouns: She, her
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Strengths:
◉ Marksman: Jeanette is a great shot with a rifle, but not the best.
◉ Good Eye: Jeanette has a knack for observation, being able to pick out targets and identify objects from quite a distance away.
◉ Homecoming Planner: The girl is specialized in traps; booby traps, lure traps, you name it.
◉ Fast Mover: She moves quick for someone of her age and posture. Jeanette shines the most in cramped spaces, her lithe physique somehow squeezing through unimaginably tight crevices, almost like an octopus would.
◉ Trust Me, I'm a Doctor!: Jeanette has proven to be quite the apprentice when it comes to medical issues. She can patch up infections, broken limbs, wounds, maybe cook up some herbs to cure headaches or fevers, but useless when it comes to anything more than that.
Weaknesses:
◉ Overspecialized: She is so good at setting traps and firing rifles, that she is utterly average at everything else, save for medical capabilities. If she pushes herself, then maybe she can cook a barely edible omelette.
◉ Thunderbolts and Lightning: Automatic weapons scare her, with how many bullets they fire at once.
◉ Hollywood School of Combat: Jeanette's completely useless with a melee weapon, as her only tactic is to swing wildly and hope she hits something important.
◉ Overconfident: Jeanette has the nice tendency of having contingency plans, especially when it comes to her traps, but she usually indulges in a sense of overconfidence, and arrogance. As such, anyone or anything that manages to outwit her will catch her off-guard, and will leave her dumbfounded and very frustrated.
◉ Dependency: She is surprisingly incompetent by herself. Aside from her skills with a rifle and a band-aid, she has nothing. She needs food, supplies, and more, although lacking in the abilities to find those things herself.
Personality:
◉ Boredom Enthusiast: For some odd reason, Jeanette seems to be the most joyful when there's nothing to do. She does mind-numbingly repetitive tasks as a hobby, and talks with a passion.
◉ Food-motivated: Do you have food? Will you share it? If you said yes to all those questions, then Jeanette would more than happily be your friend (and maybe even more).
◉ Smart Mouth: She talks a lot, but in a nice way. She likes to indulge in productive conversations, trading knowledge or giving out random trivia about something she knows. She knows how to shut up when she needs to, so that's a plus.
◉ Conceal, Don't Feel: Jeanette hides a lot of her true emotions. Self-doubt, guilt, regret, etc. all pile up inside her mind, a result of her incompetence. She never explicitly tells anyone about these feelings, but look hard enough and you will always find it there within her, gnawing at her mind.
◉ Overconfident: Yeah. She's very confident in herself, and has no plans to improve on her faults- I mean, what faults? She's flawless! Yeah! Totally.
Relationships: [Claimable]
Equipment:
◉ A shoddy iron tip spear Jeanette made herself, with the help of the nanofabricator.
◉ An oversized North Face backpack, containing water bottles, lighters, and some books.
◉ A hunting knife heirloom from her father - not just for show.
◉ Black shawl.
◉ Her mother's crucifix pendant - for old time's sake.
Memories:
◉ Jeanette remembers taking the life of a deer at the age of 12, her first kill with a rifle.
◉ The girl fondly recalled inspecting her father's example booby-trap, with full intent to learn how to make one.
◉ Bitterness swells within her at the memory of whiffing the winning shot at the 2044 Women's Skeet Shooting Olympics.
◉ Her knowledge of the forest she lived in, and its animals.
◉ For some reason, Jeanette recalls her intense dislike of raspberries.

NAME: Castil Inoue Alfson
Classified

Age: 32
Pronouns: He/Him
Sexuality: Open
Strengths:
◉ Brilliant Cook; Castil owns and is the head chef a Japanese Izakaya in the northern region of Kyushu. He is very knowledgeable about flora and fauna (what is edible, and what is not) at least in the old world. He understands flavor profiles very well and can create amazing dishes even with unfamiliar ingredients, as long as he tastes said ingredients first. His brilliant mind allows him to create incredible food with combinations the average human can't begin to think about.
◉ Outlived Inventory; As a business owner, he manages his inventory really well, keeping track of when things expire, and so on. He is very detailed about his belongings. He would not let a single thing in his inventory go bad, or useless, ever.
◉ Intrepid Investigator, Avid Planner; Castil used to work in the police as a detective specializing in gathering information. He has vast knowledge of the old world, and uses not logic but facts to create plans in any situation. He is able to utilize various kinds of information to lay out the perfect plan. Before doing something, he likes to have a clear target & understanding of it.
◉ Great Physique; Having worked as an agent of justice, Castil's body is well-built, able to lift most heavy objects with ease. He knows basic police self-defense techniques, although he is quite rusty in combat since he left the police quite a long time ago.

Weaknesses:
◉ Eyesight; Unknown to most people that don't pay attention, his left eye is gone and replaced by an artificial eyeball. His line of vision is cut by half, giving him quite the handicap in combat.
◉ Rusty Reflexes; Although he knows basic police self defense techniques, Castil hasn't had the chance to enforce laws with it for quite a long time. He hasn't dealt with people save for his Izakaya customers, and this has made his fighting techniques quite rusty.
◉ Invested; He takes things very seriously and in a personal way, especially when people don't like his cooking and/or strategies. He doesn't show this, but he keeps tabs on who appreciates him and who doesn't. The man can hold a grudge, even though he has no desire to take action on it.
◉ Slow Approach; Castil isn't tactless and is in fact, quite cowardly, especially when he knows that no plan is going to work on a problem. He isn't the type to force his way in the name of justice into something that he thinks he cannot beat. He needs time to plan out his actions, and is usually the first to suggest running to the party if his plan doesn't work. This is because, in the past, he refused to back down in a situation where he clearly couldn't win. He lost his eyesight and his job, and this has left a dent in his psyche, almost a trauma.

Personality
Castil exudes nothing but a sense of warmth, kind to anyone that meets him. Every word he says is sincere, and even though he doesn't like to lie, he prefers sugarcoating a fact as opposed to directly criticizing someone, believing that the former would work better. He is generous and is usually a person who treats his friends every chance he gets. He feels accomplished in his life as an Izakaya owner, and puts his pride in the fact that he can make others happy with his cooking. He is creative in the way that he utilizes the information he has to get new information, though he prefers not to stray from facts. His altruistic demeanor almost always guarantees that he gets along with everyone (granted, some people don't like others that seems too nice to be true)

Relationships
hit me up if you wanna be acquaintances!

Equipment (Carried via Backpack)
Santoku & Nakiri knife
Portable Whetstone
Light Portable Stove
Small Wok
Portable Butane Gas (x2)
Book (a thick book containing various information about ingredients & general information about the old world)

Memories
◉ Being born in Venezia to a Venetian mother and Japanese father.
◉ Started a career in the Venetian police forces in a young age.
◉ Lost his eyesight when confronting a major criminal after getting attacked in his left eye. He failed to catch him in the end and let the criminal get away to another country, thus getting him fired from his job.
◉ The criminal was said to go away to Japan. Castil followed him to Japan and decided to pursue him, and when he couldn't find him he decided to open an Izakaya in hopes that someday he can catch the criminal. He's always had the talent for cooking but after numerous years of cooking his skills improved dramatically. Some could even call him a genius in cooking.
◉ Enjoyed his life in the past, also enjoys his life as an Izakaya owner.

Personality:

◉ Swiss army knife

Memories:
◉ Gymnastic classes when she was a kid
◉ Her mother’s funeral
◉ Teaching yoga classes
◉ Backpacking around the world before going to college
◉ Her favorite teacher at college

Background: Lizzete was born and raised in the US -- her family immigrated from Ireland two generations before. As a kid, she showed interest in gymnastics and took several classes up until the age of 12. That was when her mother died in a car accident. After her mother’s death, she stopped with the gymnastics and spent years not doing physical activities.
At 13 she started going to therapy to deal with the grief, and that was when she started showing an interest in psychology. Therapy helped her reconnect with her physical side and she started practicing mindfulness and yoga, which made her a more patient and calm person.
At 18 she decided to travel the world before going to college, and she spent a year backpacking. When she came back to the US she started college, studying psychology. During classes, she showed an increased interest in behavioral science and decided to apply part of her studies to that area.
After years of private practice, she heard about Project EDEN and decided to get in contact with them, hoping to be recruited. Her hopes were not in vain.
