Highly professional Navy/Exploration vessel captain. direct and blunt but in a polite way. Follows rules, but has an intellect of himself. protects his crew at all costs. Sometimes a little to professionaly outspoken. Hollis does an exceptional job as 1O. He thinks about the needs and desires of the crew. He is an asset to be reckoned with for cpt. Bartosz. He talked some of his experiences as Navy Admiral in the [USE]/[ASU] war. He loves a good “sip” of Whisky every now and then, and seems to have some secret stash of his own. He is a classy officer with a calm and distanced focus. Can very rarely be seen to get to the kitchen in his spare time wearing jogging-pants and a “SWAN”-Shirt, what ever this means. He spents most of his time on board with the capatin, as they can be heard secretly laughing about the quirks and habits of the crew, which is kind of typical for the officer ranks, and builds a good dynamic on board. He is very concerned with always choosing right over wrong which is obviuosly because of his past. He suggested to the captain to fill in the crew about the rest of the saren crew, but he made clear, that he would support the captain what ever he chooses. He asked Grump for help in learning to master his guncombat training in the down-time on board. Few on board know how he is, to this day, hurting from his military past, but he manages and tried to help mr. Hawkings with his trauma. The recent “Taito-job” visibly shook him, though he honored his allegiance to cpt. Bartosz and went with it to the bitter end. Though a shadow seems to have fallen onto him, he acts relatively normal around the crew. Recent talk with Dean obviously reminded him again of the role he has to play aboard and what his duties for his crew are, though it was not part of what they spoke about. He got the feeling Dean tries to avoid responibilities where ever possible, by always selling himself short. He admired the training session very much and treasures the time with crew as a whole spending time together, like warching the finals and so on. He has a rather pragmatic view of all that happened in Kabuki, though he admitted he was relieved, not being around when some of the things went down. He recently gave the order for the single role crew parts (soldiers) to begin educating theirselves, so, when the time comes, they will be more then just soldiers, but maybe scientists or what not. He had some very personal conversations across the crew, but mostly with the captain himself, where they evaluated the crews strengths and weaknesses. Hollis grows more confident by the weeks aboard, opening up more and more. He is more often seen enjoing things even outside of his work. Though always perfectly shaved and flawlessly clothed, he seems a littl sickly at times and even underperforms in sports with the captain from time to time. Just recently, Hollis startedworking on survival skills with the captain, which might come in handy at some point during exploration. He planned out a trainings-routine with caspers help. He seems to enjoy the business aboard. He seems to have made it his persoanl quest to get Dean out of his hole, and help him move on from whatever it is, keeping him back. He does not understand how a person like Dean, can not strive to become the best version of himself. Besides that he continues his intensive training with the Captain, and it is starting to show results, for both of them. Hollis is slowly becoming a bit more physically fit and the Captain is starting to be able to survive in the future. Possibly. Maybe. Hollis is more and more frustrated with Deans attitude and is visbly annoyed to have to handle a man that old like he would handle a moody teenager. albeit these problems however he actually enjoys Deans company when he acts as an adult. Hollis is much more of an officer then anybody else aboard and has a unique way of maintaining an orderly workflow while still being able to be part of this weird family. Much like the others, he was amazed by the recent discovery of Jisai. He even eased down a bit on Dean and let loose for a moment, when Dean told him about Eumedes and the final death of his early squad. Hollis knows the pain, and the helplesness so he opened up a little and drank to the fallen with Dean. He believes that grief is a sacred gift and duty alike. He is eager to explore the surroundings. He is stunned by the possibility of human life on the planet before anyone from the sector found this place. He had great fun watching the “exploring party” vsciously exploring the region 2-3 km away while getting the rover stuck in an earth tunnel. He was being able to help them out with the shuttle though. The last few wekks and even month, Hollis struggled with training. What he is missing in strength, his mind makes up though. Be it in strategic questions or the direction the Bearded Dragon should take, he has always something to add or give usefull advice. He goes a little lighter on Dean the last time since he learned about some more of Deans background. Especially the story about his “squad” being finally completely wiped out, hit Hollis hard and let him understand Deans situation (maybe) a little better. Hollis was an integral element in the rescueing of the stranded crews in the empty system, where he showed his true potential in all things piloting and managing troops in an rescue operation. He still messes with Dean sometimes, but for now he lets him be. Hollis has been seen puking on the bridge on duty, which the captain and Dean thought was caused by drinking on duty. While on the desert planet, he was talking to the cpt about the worth of decisions as a leader and discuss the future and Hollis`role in the upcoming ambition. To the surprise of his crewmates, Hollis has a quite clear understanding of what war is and at what cost it may come. In terms of the battle for Renrakus south he seems content with the situation and figured for the greater good, these sacrifices were not only honorable but necessary. He takes great pride dealing with the crew of the bearded dragon and the intensity of their missions is driving him. He seems focussed and stern, albeit fragile physically his mind never has been sharper. Hollis lately avoids physical training but instead keeps on training his piloting and navigational skills. Recently he had a brief argument with the cpt, about the way, cpt Zoldak handled the situation with Dr. Summers. He gave the cpt an official warning as first officer aboard, but was duly relieved, when the cpt reacted civil. Hollis has been training like crazy for the last few weeks and months, yet he does not seem to achieve anymore physical fitness like the rest of the training crew. At least he seems to be a bit more lively. He has been a little introverted lately, but if folk need him he is there as fast as possible. Which is not too fast. Hollis talked to Dean recently who revealed that the crew calls Hollis Snack Sparrow, teasing the fact, that Hollis is not the most fit of the crew, which resulted in Hollis significantly reducing his calory intake, as well as being a little bit offended. The talks to the commander reignited his spirit, and when he finally saw the first picture of Doma, it was the first time in ages, that a huge weight seemed to lift of his shoulders. Hollis has had some problems staying awake at the bridge during his nightshifts. He feels somewhat weak and was put off duty, at least regarding nightshifts by the commander. He spent some time with Lizzy as well as Summers lately. Maybe he begins looking out for himself a bit more from now on. Hollis has been seen running his own little tournament-betting-division lately earning a pretty penny so to speak. In the break in between match weeks, he has been traveling the city on is own pretty often search for some person named Karyl Bizen-Schneider. He spent some time in Summers care, but looks much better now, then just some weeks ago.

Socially awkward, clumsy but a skilled professional in her field of work. Usually dirt stained and oily overall. She has shown some incapabillity to be around conflict aboard, especially between Dean and Bartosz. She can often be heard rather then seen, crawling through maintenace shafts and the like aboard the bearded dragon exploring every corner of the ship. She has taken the burden upon herself to make the ship the best possible version of itself. She seems to be generally happy and not worried about anything. She has been spotted here and there consuming some sort of “advanced tobacco”, but it has not been taking away from her extraordinary skills as mechanic and jd engeneer. She has some kind of little sister vibe aboard and amidst the crew. She developed a significant friendship with Dr. Summers and is liked all around. She speaks highly about Kodiac and refers to him almost as if to a friend. She got “special” training by Dean and the soldier-crew that amazingly seemed to have helped her a little, and she did pretty well. She gets sometimes pranked by the soldiers aboard who act kind of like older brothers. When on planetside or at stations, she can be seen sneaking on and off board buying little nicnacs and stuff for the ship or some little memorabilia. She adapted the crawlspaces of the bearded dragon as “her space” and “home” more so then her own cabin. When not with Dr. Summers, she can often be seen working with Dean in the Powerplant. She seems to have a sexual relationship to the new crewmember Caspersky. She seems a little distracted lately. Parts of the crew learned, that what Dee looks like under her work attire, while helping with ” Ferris” training initiated by Dean. Dee seems wholly at home aboard. She has her family, her boyfriend and her tech-toys to keep herself busy. Though she enjoyed Kabuki and the things the planet had to offer, she is obviously excited to set off again into space. Nothing like the smooth growl of a jump-engine, right? She excells at both, her work aboard and the combat trainings with the crew. She might not even see it herself, but the development of ther skillset is astonishing. She values every contact and interaction wwhich each and everybody on the bearded dragon. She continues to hang out with Kodiak though seh spend a little more time Casper, which is allright all things considered. Lately she has been seen with the captain and Dean a lot more playing cards, with a stern, intense look on her face. She considered herself a bit of a wonderchild in the “Kings-holden”-verse, yet the Captain defeated her repeatedly, which seems to mildly infuriates her. She has been seen (and heard) throughout the ship diskussing with Casper, what the odds are being defeated twice, and made the poor boy run hundreds of simulations and strategies, upping her game. She started doing Yoga with Ferris and Summers. A try bringing in Casper into the Yoga-group was unsuccessfull. Her skill aboard becomes more apparent over time, for example, was she not just ready, but took initiative in an almost emergency situation while the pilot failed to keep the bearded dragon in stable scooping position. She has learned a new dice game from the cpt. which she enjoied quite a bit, though she can be somewhat bitchy/frustrated if things don`t go exactly her way in terms of gambling, that is. One thing is very clear as of now. The whole crew agrees, she looks STUNNING in a long white dress… She recently had a “deep-talk” with Dean disscussing wether death of life are better. She proposes that even in pain, agony or fear, she would prefer life over death, as it would always mean time to try to improve ones situation. Dean on the other hand said death would be more mercifull, which she understood to a degree, but she deems it lazy and even somewhat offensive. She gave the example of her 48 hours alone in darkness, leading up to the point at which she is right now. Which definitely is an improvement. She was one of the few, listening to SOME of the words Ito spoke inside the escape room, and sometimes even gave him a thumbs up, while heavily drinking with the others. She established a reoccuring sleight of hands and gamble training with the captain, and sometimes Dean. She was seen lately sometimes spending time on the medicbay with summers breeding over her arm, which sometimes would act out. But she seems to have fixed the problem as of now. She actually made progress in terms of Casper and Ferris, bringing the both closer together. She has been heard talking to mingus and Grump about her being sometimes a bit bestranged by Deans darker side, and asked them for input on how to deal with such things. She recently met up with Dean where he repeatedly was obviously drunk, making her obviously annoyed, but she understood part of it, when Dean told her some bits about Eumedes. The captain gave her orders to plan and think about her future aboard, when she will be the leader of the Jump and mechanical crew. She asked Dean about it, who gave her some pointers in regards to powerplant management, and was pretty proud about the trust that is being put in her. She was heard arguing loudly with Kodiak though the contents of the fight are unknown. They avoid each other since. Dee was probably hit the hardest by the assassination attempt on Kodiak. She does not show often, but she can be seen every now and then crying with a book sitting in her crawlspaces. She hopes the Arasaka medical staff can fix him though. She was directly on board to help the people of Shiguen, now her people in the battle south of Renraku. She seems more indipendent and less afraid then even one year back. Meanwhile her relationship with Casper has become more serious over the course of the last year. They both know the risks of the lives they live. To an outsider it seems, she was the small kid in the group, the one that needs most support by the others, but the crew of the Bearded Dragon, at least some of them, begin to understand, that it is people like Dee that can hold such a group together. She is passionate, learns quick and an major asset aboard. She spent long hours with Casper on the Medbay in deep conversation with Summers. A note to the cpt from Summers stated, the techArm would be causing some problems of unknown origin lately. Dee still can be angered by the dudes when playing cards or dice, but its all good fun. Really. She seems to have taken good to the matter of Kodiak and the consens within the crew of letting him go after learning about his last favor. She is commited to bring his body to rest within his homestead, so much so that even Ferris and Casper are a bit frightened of her determination. She continues her work with Casper and Summers, and has build a base for a friendship between her and Casper, and Jito. Dee was devasted when she found out what happened to Jito, or at least it seemed that way, since she was still grieving for Kodiak. But when she learned, what he did, she overcame her sadness pretty quickly. She knows how bad Dean must`ve felt after this situation, but she believes he did right, also not very elegant. She has been talking to Grump a lot lately as well as to Dr. Summers. Turns out she is pregnant. She is very happy but also aware, that this will change a lot, and that she will have to change a lot. She quitted smoking and drinking for starters. She seems much more cool about her pregnancy then Casper who is, understandable so, very worried and wants to make everything right. She hopes that the commander gets them to a save haven before the child comes. She was excessively mad about Dean calling her a pufferfish, after her belly started to grow because of her ongoing pregnancy. So much so, that seh told Ferris, knowing he would probably overreact a little, which of course he did by bitch slapping Dean for his manners. All was forgotten though when she first layed eyes on Doma. Her spirits lifted, and she obviously got her hopes up, that this place is where she could bear her child. She is staying on Doma for now, staying behind the Twilight and its crew to  become a mother and (maybe) a wife. She has made sure though some skilled people take over for her in the meantime aboard the ship. She and her baby-son are in good condition for them staying on a hyper-humid, hot and misty jungle planet. Dee was sick post natal, but is feeling much better now. Her son is named Casimir and is strong and healthy, albeit having a little brittle bones for the time being, but is being trained from the begin on in the gravity chambers.

Usually highly focused, a little bossy at times. almost never not in work attire. She does give the impression sometimes to “disect” or “study” her crew mates every now and then. She seems to be a tad secretive about her personal side as well as her free time activities. Dr. Summers has indicated she had some troubles in [SHIV]-space, though she kind of played it down a little. She has a good singing voice and was observed to have very fluid natural kind of moves. When she feels unobserved, she does a little bit of hip-sway or basic dancing from time to time. She is an excellent professional in her field of work and seems to be completely reliable. Let her hair grow out a little bit more since with the new crew, which gives her overall work attire a tad of a messy edge. Sometimes she told, she would feel useless and not at all beneficial to the crew, but has since “redeemed” herself with helping out in medical emergency and consultation, The cpt also asked her to run some sort of monthly form to look over medical crew stuff. She has formed a significant friendship with Dee and also likes the company of Mingus and Ferris. She is often seen spoending some form of time with Hollis, which she said was platonic and professional, she could not go into detail. She spent an evening with mr. Hawkings where he cooked traditional Kalfoorni dinner for her, and they talked. She was kind of open about herself but not to an extend of which Dean would`ve liked. She seemed vulnerable even, but she quickly turned into other matters. She might not be using her real name. She appreciates scientific discourse with Kodiac to an extend. Summers has been acting more silent and withdrawn lately. Ever since the Bearded Dragon landed on Shiguen Prime, she keeps a little bit more to herself. She showed a somewhat more “shiguen” side of herself when meeting Ms Urakao, by communicating with her in a very different fashion, then she usually does. Almost ceremony-like traditionally formal distant, yet polite and friendly. She seems relieved to be setting off from Shiguen Prime again. The mentioning and ties with her sister weighed heavily on her obviously, but she seems to have found new strength again. She is eager to be “on the way” again, as she has been heard telling Dee, Mingus and Ferris. She made a bet with the Cpt, which she won, resulting in a dance which has to be performed by the captain. She very much enjoyed watching the finals with the rest of the crew. She very much turned out to be somewhat of an expert on the ECB-sport. When Dean was searchng all data aboard for a specific video, she let him have a data stick with the alleged video on it. She greatly appreciated Deans decision not simply watching it, but honoring her privacy. As reward she opened up about some part of her past that was uinknown up to that point except for mingus and ferris. She was married to a Chester Jeung, operator in the special forces of the Shiguen Federation military. He was declared “MIA” after vanishing during the Kalfoorn battle. She seems still emotionally attached, and was saying though she knew he has to be dead, he is not for her. She asked Dean, if when the time was right, and she was going after answers regarding her husband, if she could count on Dean. She seemed very relieved when he agreed. She currently is in a kind of task force with the captain closely monitoring Ferris and his behaviour regarding his substance abuse. She started doing yoga with him and dee recently. She detected a kind of metal frame to Caspers skelleton, which worried her a bit, but since it is medically irrelevant, she let it go for now. The whole crew agrees, she looks STUNNING in a long black dress… She enjoys the somewhat special fooling around with Dean. Its comraderie on a different level, but comraderie  nonetheless. She and the Captain recently talked future and what her role will be in a much grander scale, should the operation succeed. She enjoyed being consulted about those things by the captain. She obviously has a certain ambition, and plans ahead within this crew/corp/faction. She enjoys communicating with Urakao, as it reminds her of her youth and time in Shiguen Space, before everything fell down for her. Dean consulted her about building a fightclub, since he fears the soldiers might turn insane over their bloodlust, which she agreed to a degree, but denied the fightclub motion. She insisted physically staying fit and workout would be great, but nothing can imitate the rush of a deadly combat experience so the fightclub would be bloodshed without reason. Ever since she revealed some of her past, especially about her missing husband she seems a little off. She seems to be struggling with something, as if she would constantly turn unsure in which direction she wants to go. Other then that she makes good progress on some of the crews requests. She has been able to synthesize a liquid form of Rocket and Nova, for what its worth. She is a little twitchy and feels like she would need something more to do since she can only sort her medical equipment so much. Much like Kodiak she would love to get some field work again. Summers found a spot in hydroponics, where she laid down on a patch of lush green and listened to music while dreaming. Dean found her there, to ask about some help regarding his implant situation. She is able to help him a little imidiately and offers to look into a personalized implant optimisation and development to help him stabilise the usage and threshold. She was stunned, when they discovered Jisai and was eager to find out more about the planet and the life existing there. In camp she spends most of her time with Kodiak studiing or with Dee. After Dee`s and Kodiaks fight, she tries her best to stabilize the relationship it seems, but the vibe between the both has grown a little cold. shocked by the “death” of Kodiak, Summers mourns her disability to save the friend. In this, she very much is like Dean, in that she wants to gain the ability to save the ones meaning the most to her. She struggles deeply with the inability to control and secure everything around her. Yet she manages and its very telling, that she was willing to go to the end for the people of the Shiguen Federation. She is honorable in a way few are today, and she found something she could do, that is meaningful in her eyes and may earn the respect of her parents. Ever since she got the message and parcel from Urakao, she acts weird and defensive, when spoken to about those things. Even Ferris gets blocked out about it, and is reasonably concerned about it. Summers was talked to on the matter by the captain, and she responded quite well to that. She promised to share her problems if they`d arise. Summers misses Kodiak obviously, she spends time in hydropnics where the both of them started growing plants from the locations they visited. She low-grav grew a bonsai tree which she cuts and deals with now on her own. Sometimes she just wanders the ship visiting the labs caring for the places, keeps them clean and tidies up, as if she wants to keep it useable for Kodiak. Summers is still working on a cybernetics solution for Dean, and talked to him about his view of being soldier and being a killer, and while she does not agree with most of the things Dean says, she has told various crew members that she knows people like Dean must exist, and that she would be thankfull that he is around. The soldiers latest shenanigans caused a bit of light in this dark times, with Mingus running naked and proud through the ship including the medbay, which is risky in itself, since all soldiers kind of fear Summers and her wrath when someone disturbs her holy area of work. One thing we do know about her, is that she knows how to thow sandals like a proper asian mom. Her inner conflict keeps going and as she deals with her demons in her own way. although she told the cpt that she would talk with him, this has yet to be fulfilled. As it turned out the things Urakao sent her, were information about the recovery of her husbands corpse from Kalfoorn. His body was found 7 years ago, but the information were classified, and none deemed it necessary to tell her about it until she asked Urakao about this. She seems a little lost albeit acting as if she would keep it together quite good. Summer seems to have adapted to the situation as good as possible and carries on. She sunk her teeth into studies, mainly about solutions for Dean to become both, more armored and more quick, which seems impossible, but she loves the challenge. She could not be happier for Dee and Casper although she believes it to be fact that she should become godmother of the child, rightfully so, some say. She still cant really nail it when it comes to karaoke… She seems furious the last few days after the commander told her, that some other then her crew members were set to be godmother and father. No one had talked to her about that, which burned very intense and made her a lttle on edge as of now. As if the godmother situation was not enough, she actually seemed a little offended by the fact, that Dean hooked up with Dr. Chiara Jung. maybe she had the feeling, to not be so special after all, but she quickly overcame this especially after learning about Doma. She, as much as everybody else who spent so much time searching, is in awe about what they finally found. From the very first minute the crew left Doma without Dee and Casper, Summers started to miss her best friend, dearly. She talks alot about Dean lately thinking about wether they all thought to harshly about the soldier. She blames herself for not having asked Dean how he feels and why he does the things he does when she considered herself a close friend of him. But she is trying to make up for that. She is making slow but steady progress in developing tools and ways to implement Deans armor to work with his implants synchronised. Summers delved head down into her soon to be masterpiece, the merging of deans implants and deans armor. She is learning quite a lot about her line of work in the process, since she is literally developing new tech. She is enjoying the stay on Jisay and is extremely interested in the ECB matches. The younger crew always comes to her watching with her since she claims herself a bit of an expert on the matter and likes explaining and lecturing the others about what exactly is going on in the ECB`s. She had to take care some time of Hollis lately, but he is feeling much better after her treatment.

Brought on board by Dee, Casper is a young man from Kabuki undercity. He went to a reknown school and university in Kabuki, which explains his expertise in all things computers. He considers himself an expert netrunner, though he seems to act a little nervous around his “new” crew. He did crack some cred-sticks, and transferred the credits to cpt. Bartosz. It is not really that much known about him other then his education and that he did a few low profile net-security jobs for some undercity dive-bars. There is nothing to be found in the SecNet about him so far. He seems to enjoy Dee`s company very much. He is a little jittery in his all around appearence, but he gives of a natural, clever boy without ill intend. He was shown a different side to the crew lately in one of their latest Kabuki jobs, where he was essential in killing off an Arasaka functionary. He was hesitant at first, but decided, he would earn his place with the crew by doing what was necessary. Although he seemed a little off afterwards. Casper, although being aboard just a short time yet, proofed a most valuable asset in the crew. He regularly uses his expertise to help out in sticky situations. He also seems to fit in relatively well with the crew although Ferris still is not to happy about his ever intensifying relationship with Dee. He seems to have gotten over his slight trauma from his first Kabuki assignment, and has a very pragmatic understanding of what has to be done at certain points, which seems oddly mature of an otherwise very much, young person. The lad is all over the ship, literally. He helps Dee all the time building strategies for card games lately, also spends most free time with her as well. He also has started gun training with Ferris a few weeks ago, which at first scared the shit out of him, and frankly, still does. But he keeps at it, focused and determined. Even Ferris is impressed against his will. Casper is seen even with Kodiak helping him with a Stellar body prediction model with his computer skills, which is a little side project of Kodiak. He found out he has some kind of metal skelleton, which he things his father has something to do with it. He said his dad was always trying to make him better or more resilient, and that just might be the reason for the implant. The crew found out about the implant, when he suffered some pretty nasty chemical burns after his vac-suit was damaged while clearing the “Rio” over Kikuman. It is clear he has missed out on certain events in his life, so was he seen as a insecure teenager in dorky clothes at Kodiaks birthday. He is extremely well skilled in his field of expertise, but lacks experience in most other socially relevant situations.  He recently celebrated his birthday in Kabuki with the rest of the crew solving an escape room almost exclusively by himself. Well he was on his own enirely, lets be honest here. Yet he had the time of his life. He seems to enjoy the thought of having found a family which he never had otherwise. There still is a sadness or maybe even wisdom to him as if he grew up to fast, but the overwhelming time he seems light hearted and joyfull. His progress while training with Macint is astounding. He helps with training simulations aboard for the dive-tec. Casper is the only one not suffering from a bit of boredom and frustration while exploring since he is almost constantly working on some new simulation or program to help out his mates. Again his skills are being used by Kodiak to simulate the physics and astronomical events in and around the sector to continue Kodiaks early work. Although Casper loves to help out, he seems a little streched out recently, has big dark rings under his eyes and seems a little off some times. Dean found him in auxilary where Mingus was diving in a tactical operation simulation while Casper was doing simulations for Kodiak. He seemed tired, with a bunch of energy drinks around him, but had fun watching Dean crash Mingus`training, making him loose by “accident”. Kodiaks death came abrupt and hurt Dee extremely deep. Casper tries and comfort her along with Ferris and the others. He has been seen on the Medbay with Summers and Dee alot lately probably talking about the arm of Dee. He was a great asset in the battle south of Renraku, since his computer knowledge helped out a lot. He also made it possible to quickly determine where the Kodiak assassin drone was commanded from which in the end gave the crew an edge in following the leads back to Huerta and thus to the Isla de Muerta. Casper has become a fullfleshed part of the crew, though becoming an adult has come quick and sometimes, he seems melancholic about simple times. He is very much afraid about the future, not only because he does not really know where he will fit in, within the ambitions of the captain but he seems training more eager and hard then ever before, following the goal of being able to protect Dee at all cost. So much so that even Ferris adviced him to calm down a little. But Caspersky fears that only more dangerous time follow on from now. It is heartwarming to see the friendship, that has begun to grow between Ferris and Casper. When no one seems to look, Ferris teaches Casper everything he knows and deems valuable, and even drinks a beer with him every now and then. Casper has become a man. For what its worth, He actually IS able to protect Dee more and more… It seems Casper is slowly becoming a new generation within the crew. A new hope, a book not yet tainted. Some of the crew can not help but to wonder if He and Dee are going to be their succesors. Casper is still working on his latest work with Kodiak, although he lacks the expertese of a proper scientist or at least astrogator. He has grown fond of Jito in a short time, as he shares some interests with him (NOT DEE) and works closely with him. Casper works relentlessly on Kodiaks latest project, now with help of Demetrio, who is a big help. It is not really known what Casper and Kodiak initially wanted to achieve with this project. After being attacked by Jito with a knife he doubled down on training with Mingus and Ferris so much so, that even Ferris sometimes needs to slow him. Which of course changed when Dee announced her pregnancy… Casper loves Dee. And he loves that child. Even now, but he has been talking to Grump about fears not being able to be a proper dad. Not just the usual cold feet but things from his past that make him beliefe he does not have, what it takes to be a father and man to Dee. Casper is very worried how to deal with the whole pregnacy situation and hopes that they get somewhere save and nice to get the child. He trusts the commander to find a way for them both to have a rel chance in this universe as a family. Casper now learns a different side about relationship and love. He seems a little lost in dealing with the 2 parts furious 1 part horny Dee. He gives his best though. When he sat on the bridge with Dee, watching the pictures of Doma he just held Dee and told her, that they now would have a place to be a family. Recently he opened up to Dean and the commander regarding a painfull era of his early life. He told them his father lost him, Casper, in a tragic laboratory-accident, leading to bizarre experiments to revive his son, as well as to digitalise his mind to avoid his loss in the future. He succeeded, but Casper ran away, stealing all his science data after years of torturous experiments and scientific/medical procedures. This is why certain people are now searching for him. This is something he never told Dee, since he was afraid she would think of him as a freak or the likes. He stays behind with Dee on Doma, becoming a father and a provider. He seems excited about that but at the same time a little sad about leaving the crew behind. He feels bad about having not told Dee about his “situation”, and fears he endangers the ones he loves the most. He will be on the lookout for fitting places as per Deans request. He was incredibly thankfull for how Ferris trained and partly raised him to become the man he is today. He is officially father now and very much proud as it seems. He struggled for weeks with a dangerous case of bacterial infection, but is on the way of getting well again. Meanwhile he continued to write search and exploration programms for his drones and let them map out the area surrounding the camp. He is continueing his extreme body-training together with his son in the gravity chambers, who is bound to his back while casper trains. Casper found a possible candidate for Deans request on Doma. He has sent some information with agents from Jack to the rest of the crew.

Tough as Steel, loud and a natural leader in battle. Biggest guy around, but seems to have some sort of inert calm and sensitivity. He has been sparring with Dean ever since they first started traveling together. In his latest emotional outburst Dean took a well plcaed shot against Ferris resulting in a ugly broken nose and a black eye. Ferris was simultaneously shocked and proud, and prides himself in not letting Ms. Summers fix up his nose. He believes it gives him a “charming character”. It is well established, that he is the defacto leader in combat for the [ORCA]Soldiers on board, since they go back a long time. He barely talks about it but there seems to be some holy bond between him and “his” men, something in their past, that lurks beneath the surface. He is a great guy to be around with, and loves the spirit on board, the comradery and the things they do together. His loyalty for Hollis is examplementary. It is known to some aboard, that he uses a substance called “Rocket”, which is known for its addictive potential. Many soldiers took this stuff in the wars they fought in to stay ready and awake. He told everyone involved he would have it under control. He got a 320kg heavy bell to his birthday which he is constantly training towards to move an inch. He is often seen with Mingus and Summers talking in the messhall. He seems a little nervous lately or obviously drugged. There were indications towards him not only using Rocket, as he stated, but maybe another substance. He acts very much chill and still gets his job done. Had a trainingssession with Dee and Dean recently, which was, at best, semisuccessful. Dean learnd, that sometimes raw strength, albeit not beautiful, is the way to go. Also he achieved that Dee was extremely uncomfortable. And Ferris extremely angry, at least for a brief duration. Ferris enjoyed the latest training especially since he had the chance to furiously fire at Casper for no other reason than his continous grumpyness towards the boy. Ferris still is working on the one heavy bar-bell, which prooved to be an achievment he needs to work hard towards. His substance abuse seems relatively under controll, at least he shows no symptoms of overdosing, or increasing the amount of his dosage. Apart from the Dee/Casper situation, he seems to be almost the most stable and content person aboard. It was a few month ago that the crew found out he did some serious drugs, namely nova, and maybe even some other stuff. He was always saying he had it under controll, yet parts of the crew could really see his struggle. Especially Dean and the Captain, as well as Dr. Summers. After talking straight with Dean and the Captain, Ferris decided to become a better self, be more focused in serving and protecting. He found new purpose and pride in being the first seargeant (recently officialy, as per captains decret) and the guardina of the ones he cherrishes and hold dear. He has completely adapted his role in the bearded dragon family and work actively now to fullfill this role to the best of his ability. He went to Grump and asked for help on how to beat his addiction, and Grump provided some strategies, and organised a recurring yoga session for him with Dee and Dr. Summers. The crew learned, of his old nickname, “XCavatr”, which he earned digging trenches in a frozen environment, under fire, to protect his fellow soldiers. Based on that and with a little push from Dean, he decided, he would like to learn something in the construction-direction. After putting the drugs to rest, he has been seen with visible symptoms of the addiction like shaking and sweating, but for some, he seems stronger then ever. The captain made him start training with Casper the way of gun combat and handling himself in combat situations. Lets just say Ferris was not thrilled in the beginning, but the Captain insisted and told him it was also a way of providing security for Dee, which eventually convinced Ferris, it was the right thing to do. He is a hard, but effective teacher, and someone, who observes carefully, might even see some kind of pride in the boy and his way to focus on the training and take the punishment like a champ. Ferris would not say it to his face, but he stated, that he admires the boys dedication. Maybe this will be a chance for both of them to get over their differences, or at least for Ferris to calm the fuck down. Ferris continues to train the boy Casper, and acknowldges his progression. He recently talked to Dean about the whole Loki incident almost one year ago, and they agreed, that someone that might be Loki, called for some sort of help or aid. The details are very much blurry for both of them, but they also agree, that there might be more to it then just weird coincidence. He and Dean are thinking about building their own “fight club”, though they would not dare to talk about that. He was gifted a 3-month clean token by the Captain recently, which made him really proud even if he would not say that out load, but one could see it in him. He seems stronger then ever. Ferris might be actually starting to like Casper. He was touched when they gifted him the picture of them both with “yer small ones” on the back. He greatly appriciates the construction work training as it helps in not getting bored aboard while just pushing handlebars. Although he is pretty fuckin proud that he won the captains golden AK. The birthday party was exactly what Ferris needed to calm his mind and relax a bit. Ferris was rewarded a 6 month clean medal recently by the captain, which made him really proud and touched. He seems to be happy about the chance he was given. He also takes his new authority as well as responibility extremely serious. He works hard to learn about construction basics in theory and also tries to motivate his soldiers. He was given orders to field promote Mingus and Grump, which he carried out gracefully and professionally. His 320 dumbell stays undefeated though. At least he is stronger then the captain, still. Ferris had a great progression over the course of the last year, he learned to compose himself, become a better leader and person in general and has grown significantly perssonally. His care for Dee and even Casper at this point is both heartwarming and breaking for the times become more dire by the minute and much as Casper, Ferris fears that. The picture they both gifted him has become one of his most treasured valuables. Though he has switched his “operative mode” to soldier once more in pursuit of Mingus` nemesis Hangtorch, he also almost constantly tries to teach Casper everything he deems worth teaching. He trusts him more and more and they have become friendish over the course of the time aboard. Ferris is a pillar of strength and integrity within the crew. He sees it as his personal duty to make sure something like the assassination of Kodiak will not happen again. Ferris felt bad about the “fight” he and Dean had and wanted to talk it out and they managed to resolve the situation. No hard feelings by Dean. Ferris sees Dean a soldier under his wing and as such worries for his well being. It is a balancing act between the legend and janitor to make the most out of this character. He was not flattered by the Kodiak favor, although he did not have much love for the egghead himself. He got to admit though that he was moved by the order about Dee Kodiak gave him. Ferris loves his new suit even though he has been telling the other soldiers, that he fears for Dean about his tech-transformation… Ferris was quite nervous about Urakao possibly in danger, and was imensly relieved when it turned out she was just in hiding. He told the rest of the soldiers, he would love the idea of going behind enemy lines to get coffee, but also he would fear for the other guys savety. He has become the patron of Dee and Casper. He even needs to slow Casper from time to time when he is to eager to train. This changed. Significantly sop, when Dee told him that she is pregnant. First he wanted to kill Casper for a few seconds since ” He now would have proof that he would touch the little lady” after which Dee gave him the lecture of his life. He calmed eventually only to double down on training as well with Casper, for there would be so much left to learn, to be able to protect woman AND child… Its Ferris… Ferris has become much more soft. especially over the course of the last few weeks. It showed very much in the way he took sides with the young hotel worker Tobias, when he thought the commander would not appreciate the help this young man provided. Ferris slapped Dean after learning, that Dean misbehaved towards his little pregnant princess. That of course was an overreaction, but was cause by a deeply offended Dee. Ferris is eager to secure the planet, or at least some small portion for Dee to “nest” in. He would not dare to say that, but he too, as well as Casper, feels a little lost dealing with Dee. Ferris is both, wheepingly sad about letting Dee and Casper behind, and proud of them both. He very much understands the need for them to settle, but he is struggling with the situation. He has lots of time to train and lots of time to think. Part of him vents at the soldiers aboard training them even harder. He seemed a little offended about the fact, that this big Arasaka mission is done by the Commander and Dean alone. He sometimes misses the old simple times where he could just fuck something or someone up. Ferris kind of is in a mental frenzy or trance depending while in the ECB`s. He really likes the thought of being one of the heros himself and he is really getting into character while on the field. He apreciates how much thought goes into this and how well Dean especially does the show. Ferris has done some jobs for local groups and the government with some of his buddies to build a network of contacts, for future jobs. Ferris recently rediscovered his lust for motorbiking. In the Desert of Amun Ra he was absolutely frantic about driving old-school bikes with liquid fuel in them. Right after the battle, he went to Renard, asking him about how to possibly aquire such a thing.

Extremely athletic build, about 7 ft tall. Jokes around, has times in which seems very introvert. Shows close to zero interest in sharing personal stories other then enthusiastically talking of weapons of all kinds. He has been seen on different occasions referring to some “Paul”, also his one-use plasma launcher is named “for Paul”. Has been crying while singing “make a man out of you” at the karaoke-event. Overall weapons-Nut-job. Spends most time in which he is not training in the armory oiling his love ones, and developing tools. He also has been conmstantly checking the ship weapons. He has a sadness to him, which is difficult to pin down, since when socialising he is one prime example of the “party-bro-type”. Very rarely absent in his thoughts. Can be seen aboard often running until exhaustion. Sometimes listening to music via earphones not noticing anything else around him. Probably felt worst about the Saren situation, but played it down while with the others. Often mulling over the maptable on the bridge skipping through views and tracks in the sector. He is sometimes seen arguing with Hollis in the belly of the Bearded Dragon. In the Joy Lands, the cpt. found out that he is supposedly gay. He also is the one very much upset about the Yard 55 event. He keeps his composure around the crew, but he is every now and then heard argueing with the other soldiers, that he would feel guilty of a crime that he can not erase, ever. He had an intensive moment with Dean, finally opening up a bit about his past, about him being not only gay but previously married to a man named Paul. A traumatic memory attached to the idea of revenge with his throwaway plasma gun. The target being a man named “Agent Hangtorch”. He seems a little relieved about his “secret” being spilled in some form, at least he acts a little more loosely and comfortable around the rest of the crew. Mingus lately has become some sort of comedic relief, in a good way. The once secretive and introvert soldier, slowly became a joyfull lad, that boosted the morale at more then one opportunity. Mingus shares a strong friendship with Dr. Summers and Ferris, and he also begun building an automated defense system (as he calls it) with Dee. Though they are not overly open with it right now, they have been seen lately working on the police drone they got from Kabuki, retrofitting it, and even letting Casper write some new subroutines, to make it into a valuable asset. He has great fun doing this with Dee, and seems over all… well, home. Mingus talked to Dean about what profession he might look into, and came up with the idea to maybe get into the advocate-profession, since he had some administrative duties in his prior career and also Pauls family was rich from being an extraordinary successfull law-worker-family. He has dived head first into the mater of advocacy, but does not seem to relly get his head around the matter. Some aspects of his studies are just a tad to theoretical. But he`ll stay on it. He is a great comrade to have aboard, wildly fun at parties and a great conversation-partner. He recently won a dance battle against Dean at Summers` birthday party. I mean obviously, he is Queen after all. He enjoyed his own birthday very much. Even the heavy faggot joking and the dick-cake-bang-balloons. Mingus recently won a bet against Grump which ended in Grump running aboard naked. Other then that Mingus can be seen in the auxillary with Casper alot trying out new video games via Dive Tec as well as combat training simulations. Mingus recently had a good talk with Dean about workplace romances, which reminded him of old times and he might have made a little fun of Dean, but in good spirits. He tries to be a more lighthearted relieve where Hollis gets all officerish and so on. Dean also helped Mingus with his advocacy project and was greatly appreciated. Mingus recently received orders, that he will function as ship turret combat instructor aboard the upcoming new ship. He thinks that it will suit him really well although he is unsure how good of an instructor he will/can be since he was never really the teaching type, but Grump promised to help him develop a few basic abilities and tricks to be more efficient. Mingus was amazed about Jisai and, as Grump, cant wait to look deeper into what Jisai is all about.  Ever since the message about Wilson and Hangtorch, Mingus has grown a little more cold, determined and grim. His mission is clear. all the shenanigans he usually does fell a little shorter over the last couple of weeks. He needs to put an end to this chapter of his live to move on and his frineds and especially the soldiers know and understand that. The crew goes to war. He almost even left the crew when the captain decided to help the Shigueni people, though in the end he knew it was the right thing to do. He secretly is torn between the thought of pulling the rest of the crew in this endevour of his and being thankful for them joining him for his sake. Mingus seems very on edge lately. He gets grounded though in the soldier band of brothers that they are. Mingus is free, finally of his pain? His lust for revenge? well Hangtorch is really dead that is certain. But it comes with an overcoming feel of dread and helplesness since there is nothing to focus on to get over the pain that comes and goes every now and then. Mingus reads. A lot. First the rest of the soldiers fucked with him about it, but grew bored of it when he barely reacted. The respect the distance he seeks right now and do not push him to hard. Although a little introverted as of now he does not seem unhappy or depressed. Mingus seems to have overcome the shadow in his life after all. He may be a touch melancholic every now and then, but overall, he is back to being fuckin fabulous as well as deeply professional if the need arises. He has been heard saying, that he kind of gets Dean to Ferris and Grump, in more than one way… Mingus loves the idea of having a baby around, which would complete the family so to speak. Of course in his oppinion, he should become godfather. Mingus is, if thats even possible, even more hyped for the ECB`s then Grump. He has told the commander and Dean alike, that he has it in his guts, that they will do great things and epic stuff within the ECB-tournaments. Mingus talked extesively to Dean about his Date and is really happy for Dean, as he deems him his best friend aboard, which is a strange affiliation for everyone else. Mingus is with the officers when it comes to combat readiness for conquering the planet. Mingus considers himself Deans best friend, and overall the wisest man aboard. He is a pillar of the good spirits aboard. Mingus has become a lot more stable lately, seemingly having found his place aboard and in life in general. He seems satisfied and content. Although he is sad about leaving Dee and Casper, he is very happy for them and proud of that whole thing that started and developed in this crew, in this family. Allthough the Commander ordered the shot, Mingus was the one actually shooting. And he willingly took the shot. But loosing Grump like that after the battle was such a success, is hard on him. Very much so. Although the loss of Grump hit him hard, he continued being the positive dude, he was before. He enjoys watching the ECB matches with Summers and the a large portion of the rest of the crew. He organised public view in the cargo hold of the Twilight. Mingus fuckin loves big guns. He really does. In the recent past, the crew really had the chance to witness, why it is, that he has such a skill to shoot and why he is caring for his guns the way he does. He becomes an absolute monster if he has a machinegun in his hand and loads of hostiles ahead…

Guruba Takahashi, next in line after the loss of Jito, is first of all an exceptionaly mediocre sensors officer, which may be caused by the lack of experience or by the amount of times he is distracted by his adoration for the captain and the things he does. shortly after his promotion to sensors officer, he has had himself tattooed with the captains honor flag, to show his pride and dedication. He somehow became a valid piece of the machine that is the crew of the dragons twilight. But he is young and he is ambitious, and eager to learn. Which is good. Cause he needs to learn. A lot. Guruba was happy to assist, unknowingly, the commander with his prank for Summers. Guruba makes great progress, working “closesly” with the commander. He got some routine in the sensors suite and starts to become more comfortable in his role as sensors officer. The trust which the captain put into him pays of, as he does a good job on a regular basis. Guruba learned quite a lot lately. But not really how to let go of the worshipping the commander. He seems a little lost in the crew, having no real friends it appears. He keeps mostly to himself, playing games and watching movies in his time off. Guruba made friends with some tech-nerds from the Twilight after developing a little scanner tool, which allows them to locate the participants of the fighting teams inside the ECB arena. They use this tool for the public viewing in the cargo hold as an “overwatch map” to show where the action is happening. Guruba started getting into capital ship weaponry sensors following the tech-news from the big companies lately.

Private Kallopa is a young soldier from Kalfoorn, which is now held by CSM-forces. He graduated from a military school on Lao Guen, where he specialised in information technologies and counterespionage. He served as junior assistant on a small stealth info runner named Gidonoku, until he was captured by early CSM invading forces some years ago. He experienced torture and humiliation during his times as prisoner which lasted about 4 month, before a group of USE special forces rescued him and his comrades. He is quickly angered and has a unrelenting temperament. He is quick witted and exceptionally skilled in his field of expertise. His late experience however hindered a faster rising in ranks. He feels quite good aboard the dragons twilight, also he had had some brawls with other soldiers and workers. Lately he joined a small group run by Dean. Kallopa loves the idea of fighting in the ECB`s he loves it even more so, that he can do it with his friends and his role models soldier wise. He  is the most ECB ready from the initial thinkers guild, but has to regularly meet up with grump. The dude is slowly rising. Under the right circumstances, he might even be able to leave his traumas behind, becoming a formidable agent- and soldier-asset alike. He makes good progress which even Grump confirmed. Kallopa has developed an exceptional friendship with Tullip, Smart and Jarakume. Kallopa also  became the greatest prankster aboard. People dont know how he does it, he seems to move around the ship much faster then anybody else is able to. He loves the whole ECB event and tournament. He seems completely changed from his actuall anger problems to active and embracing. He developed a deep friendship with Tulip and spends most time with him checking out girls, in the bars of Umimaru in the match-break-weeks and playing pranks on the crew together. 

Private Jarakume joined the crew of the twilight after leaving a veterans hospital initially located in the gardens of Shiguen Prime, which was reloacted after the invasion of CSM. He was disqualified from duties after being significantly wounded, physically and emotionally after surving a massive orbital bombardement from SHIF forces on Polis II in the Kattla system, in an attempt to free the world which has come under the siege of CSM striketroops. He enjoys being able to fullfill a role on board and having back some sense of duty, but he also still suffers mentally from his trauma. He is a little quieter then others and a bit socially awkward though he loves his comrades and his crew more then he aims to show. He joined the thinkers guild of Dean, with one of his only friends Kallopa which he met in the veterans hospital on Hatori Station. Jarakume succeeded in his first attmpt to overcome his trauma, which is just a first step, but a huge one for him. He is eager to get his shit together to be a valid part of the Cardinal Sins. Jarakume shows an exceptional will to overcome his shortcomings, to support the Cardinal Sins in the upcoming ECB`s as well as the overall crew in its adventures. His training, especially facing his trauma with Dean, shows some real results. Jarakume has great capabilities once he overcomes his first panic reaction. After an interaction with Dean, he can be seen with a new trinket, some chain necklace with some kind of wooden piece on it. Jarakume is feel ing very content at the time. His newly found freindship with the younger thinkers guild soldiers is helping him alot. His progress maybe slow regarding ECB readineyy, but it is steady. Deans training and confrontation technique seems to continously pay off. After saving Smart in the qualification job against Zenith, he developed a kind of big brother relationship with her. He seems to enjoy the thought of having the job of saving and protecting her. He seems much more mature then even a few months ago. He certainly still has his quite seriousness to him, but he has come a long way. Jarakume has become a great asset within the Cardinal Sins. His absolute ambition to fight for the Team and his valiant mission to keep Smart save, are turning him into a secret hero of the ECB`s. So much so, that he has a strong following community on the SecNet.

According to his late diploma as surgeon, he is in his late 80s which seems to go with how he looks and acts. Dr. Jerogiev is a men who has seen stuff. Lots of different stuff it seems. He seems well traveled, well spoken and knowledgeable in a multitude of ways. He is a heavy smoker (although he has a particularly exclusive taste in tobacco and a wine connosoire. He joined the crew of the Twilight, after his first attempt to join, had failed on Shiguen Prime three years ago. He always seems chill and layed back. He works great with Dr. Summers and his patients love him. Jerogiev was very happy about the thought, that hydroponics could plant his favorite tobacco plant. He was not aware of the possibilities of modern hydroponics on a spaceship. He helped private Smart a great deal in finding out about the narcolepsy threshold, but mostly he produced fast results for the commander regarding the fungus. He now focusses on finding out more about the bacteria. He is excited as hell for the new planet. So much potential and so much to learn. Though a little sad to not be able to stay on the planet Doma with Dee and Casper, he enjoys working with Summers very much. He has been saysing “The Medic Bay is a well and orderly managed, and governed area, with a queen and CEO that is both professional and unrelenting.” He always has wisdom to share and is generally a nice person to be around. He might not be the most efficient worker, nor scientist aboard, but he has his own rhythm giving him the ability to really shine in the areas which most interest him at the moment. He has had an argument with Hollis lately. It was not very hefty or extreme, but it seemed to have cooled the air between the both of them. The Commander talked to him and Renard lately finding out, that Jerogiev is still a bit on a search of his TRUE destiny, having not found the ONE thing he really wants to do. Allthough he likes being a surgeon and medic, he is constantly looking to reinvent himself. Jerogiev and Renard have developed a spicey bread, which they produce and sell in front of the Twilight during Mingus` public viewing events. They are quite secretive about the ingredients and have spent some time with Summers and and the medical staff preparing for this. Jerogiev named the Bread “Asspix”. It is shaped like a human bottom and the people of Umimaru (at least some) are huge fans of it. He also made a new hat for Mr. Greenger.

Astrogator Cory Thibion Fennet, is a professionally eduqated spacetraveller from a wealthy Family. He was born and raised in a borderworld between USE and SHIF territory, on Planet Cyme in the Lamis system. His father was a local professor and space-exploration-enthusiast who was one of the leading officers within the ranks of the Observe group. From him he has his knack for astrogation and wayfinding. Though he is miles away from the charisma his father had, he is a pretty skilled astrogator. He is a bit socially awkward, which was even more obvious when he stumbled into the inner crew of the Twilight after seeing the cpt hallucinating on the bridge. But albeit this, people do like him for his calm and optimistic behaviour. He also prides himself having beaten the Chanela`s FuSku, an achievement people deemed impossible for the longest time. Fennet brought himself to bring up the situation with the commander, when he was hallucinating. He was pretty proud afterwards, since human interaction arent really his strong suit. He also has a shock-baton on his toolbelt since the talk, and gets a significant ego boost from it. It seems like he feels somewhat more official and important now. Fennet more and more enjoys his rol aboard. He works closesly with the capatin as well as with Dee, at least for now. He was stunned from awe when fist seeing pictures of Doma. Maybe he remembered his dad a little bit when finding this planet, which was even for him, a quite sentimental experience. Fennet is a little frustrated about doing the whole ECB stuff because he would rather be doing exploration and charting paths through the sectors. Nevertheless he is very reliable. He has created a little after works club made of mostly high-end technical staff mebers, who meet on the lower medical areas to swim. They are kind of secretive about the whole ordeal. Jerogiev and Renard seem to be part of it. Fennet turned out an exceptional naval asset in the battle over Conis. His quick thinking and working gave the crew the opportunity to destry the stealth corvette. He is spending his freetime aboard a small group of OBS-explorers, who aim to cartograph and explore the second continent of Jisay which is barely explored at this point, even less then the one Umimaru is located on. He initially helped the group around Guruba with their little project and created the 3d mapping environment. He has built quite the connection with some Dr. Taima Hushimi, an OBS navigator that holds the record for most survived, failed OBS operations.

Francois Renard is a biology-nerd before everything else. He stems from a incredibly rich family although he is not directly related. But his interests steered him away from the tech loving family specialised in weapons production. Originally from ex-ASU space, he struggled in the civilized space for the longest time always being seen as some kind of barbaric low life, which suddenly changed as his family was a leading partner in the ambitions to join forces with the USE. He travelled a while and then spent years in Shigueni territory studying rare fiber based lifeforms that were not classified yet and defy, to this day, human science. He learned of the Twilight after the discovery of flexidion which was a huge step in his studies. He then travelled to become part of the crew which eventually he achieved to serve as the biology science officer aboard. He loves to drive when on planet survace and drinks good wine. He can come of as a little prickish and arrogant but mostly he is a nice fellow. Renard is balls deep in studying the luminiscent bacteria as well as the fungus to grant the commander fast results. This is what Renard loves, delving into the unknown, while aboard or in the comfy saveness of a well established and staffed out laboratory. He felt quite uncomfortable while outside the ship searching the abandoned mine, although he was excited, he loves to be in the relative savety of his lab. He senses his great chance when he saw the pictures of Doma, which is an absolute paradise for him. Renard has lately developed a professional and private friendship with Jerogiev. They both can be seen in their time off sitting on little benches smoking long pipes talking or playing classic games. They are enjoying beeing refered to as the “seniors”. They are having a blast creating ancient classical attire from the clothing-printer and dress up in this weird attire. They are very much youngsters in old mens bodies. Renard has been seen sneaking around the area where the after-work-club of Fennet supposedly resides. The Commander found out, that Renard was motivated to become a biologist after having a svere case of Germophobia after his family and friends were wiped out of his childhood station by a virulent plague. Renard is spending much time with Jerogiev, helping him with is bread baking and selling. They both enjoy selling the bread in their ancient atire behaving like they were ancient gentlemen, which most find hilarious. Renard has found a mechanic who claims he could build a car in an ancient design which would realy work. Renard spent a small fortune of his own money to get this thing built. He finished working on the Fungus and has created a list of possible applications that would probably sell well.

Private Tullip joined the crew of the Twilight after graduating from university and spending 3 years in the USE MilTec as supporting infantrymen. After the great purge, which took his big sister, a higher ranking officer in the now USNE MilTec, he feld the territory and found himslef in the company of ex ASU gangsters and fought in little strikes against the USNE forces. When the Isla de Muerta moved away from Medellín, he found out the Twilight was searching for a new crew so he joined in anticipation of adventure and excitement. He was beat severly after pranking his comrade private Kallopa, which put him in a temporary comatous state, from which he returned luckily without further damage. He is a fun young guy with an exceptional understanding of warfare infrastructure, supporting roles under fire, as well as being an overall good shot specially with small caliber guns and stealth weaponry. Tullip formed a strange bond and friendship with Kallopa, which are mostly possible in soldier-bands. And he is eager to train and participate oin the ECB`s Tullip was asked to join the thinkers guild by Dean, which he did. He is the one with the lowest need of special training, and has a very pragmatic side to him. He told Dean a bit about his family and specifically about his sister, but was, to the surprise of Dean, not interested in searching “the one responsible for her death”. He wants to carry on, leaving the past in the past, or so he says. Tullip has become a good friend of the other young thinkers guild soldiers. He is the one most ready for the ECB`s, as least for now. He started to help out Jarakume lately in recreating Deans training in deferent variations. He has asked Casper for several scenarios as well as a little toolkit to create them himself. Like a rudimentary levelbuilder, which he got just in time before leaving Casper on Doma. Quickly became Kallopas best friend and he is always ready to do some shit with him. They are always together mostly with the rest of the thinkers guild. Tulip loves getting free drinks and pussy when telling people what he does and in which team he “plays” in the ECB`s. Tullip slowly establishes himself as a most reliable soldier asset, not just within the Cardinal Sins but overall in the crew. He does not seek drama, he is honest and loyal, and he cares for his team very much, without focusing so much on the possibilty to loose.

Lizzy, Lisbeth Gloria Chardonay is an older Lady that still has a classy attractivness to her. She is very open about having worked for the “Connect” and “E-Thot” groups, which funded her advanced studies in the field of computersciences. She has seen and lived alot and has a wisdom and coolness to her which is hard to describe. She seems so very different then the usual clientel the ship attracts. She has been seen wandering the floors, listening to people and playing games with the younger folk. She has very quickly become some sort of motherly figure for the younger crew. She likes to cook little meals in the kitchen aboard. She loves red wine and has quite the stash in her room. People that went swimming at the same time told under their breath, that she has a stunning strong body, regardless of her age. Funnily enough there are debates and bets going on about her having bodyenhancements or not. Her computer expertise was likely a gamechanger in the battle over Conis, granting the SFV Kabuki a lot more precision, then previously anticipated. Lizzy enjoys the classier side of Umimaru going to theatres and dinner-shows while in her free time (When she is not making fun of Jerogiev and Renard at the publich viewing). She likes getting invited by much younger lads. She has developed quite the reputation with the rest of the crew who call her “The Couganator” in good fun.

Kendra is a grumpy and moody woman from a Shiguen university masterclass. She smokes heavily which is probably whiy Dee thought so highly of her. This and the fact, that Kendra is an exceptional talent when it comes to Jump-tech. She is able to fix almost anything regarding Jump-drives and has the ability to improvise and adapt if needed. She loves her job very much and the seclusity of it. She does not enjoy having people around her at least not while working. Off work she does every now and then spend some time in the crew areas drinking and playing or listening to news and music. She seems very introverted. She spends most of her time in the depths of the Twilight working on little things here and there. But she as well enjoys the public viewing events. She is massively fucked up about some ship related issues, which she always mumbles on about while working. She misses Dee very much, at least thats what she told Summers some time ago.

Button was a buddy of Casper for time beeing, and as such was often around Dee as well, who quickly found out about his talents regarding everything mechanical. She decided to make him chief of the mechanical staff since he also has some talent for organisation and triage. He loves his litte overwatch and repair drone “R2” which is a name from his favorite ancient move series. He was delighted, when he found out, that Summers had an ancient movie collection which she, in parts, gladly and proudly shared. Tyler has a light hearted persona but seems professional enough when at work. He loves spending time sorting and cleaning his vast collection of tiny tools and materials. He cannot believe that he is part of a crew that sends a runner group to the ECB`s. Unexpectedly he is probably the biggest and first fan of the Cardinal Sins. He loves the consept and the characters having said, that it is somewhat like the ancient form of entertainment called wrestling. He bought a whole bunch off merchandise right of the bat not realizing it was the commanders team. Gaeloo was part of the ground team, surviving the raid but leaving undoubtedly scarred after his first and very traumatic war experince. Though he held himself together, he probably needs some time to get over his late experience. Button spent a shit ton of money to attend almost every match of the ECB`s from the arena with a self-initiated  fanclub called the “Cardinal Simps”. He has bought some behind the scene tours and eventtickets (ECB related) and invited some of the crew as well to join the club.

Gretchen is one of the few great examples of New Germania imports so to speak. She is incredibly attractive but almost as good in running powerplant arrays and fixing them if needed. She has a distinct sense for tradition. She stems from a noble family (not first or even second grade though) called Seyterbach, which made the name worth billions with the Seyterbacher Fusly Tech, a grade A Fusion reactor which is used widely by the Rheinland Yards as well as most CredSec vessels. It is the heart of every ship in [NGE]. Which is probably why she is this good with poerplants. She can`t go anywhere aboard the Twilight without someone heavily thirsting over her on the way. There are times when she gets fed up with this circumstance but mostly she kind of ignores it. She has been seen with Summers here and there meeting for drinks and talks. There is also inofficially something called Seyterbach Saturdays, which is a kind of fanclub meeting in the medic area when she has her swimming day. Coincidence? I think not… He abilities, when it comes to power-grid-management prooved invaluable in the late battle of Pupunooli as she was on a constant mission to reroute power throughout the ships systems, to maintain a stable power-grid. It was her first time in a war and overall battle, which was quite an experience. Gretchen quickly became part of the Cardinal Simps and is waist deep into betting with Ferris. Button built her an extremely advanced, supersmall Fart-machine, which she uses to get rid of thursty crewmembers. Together with Kallopa she also pranked the saturdays-club with making them believe she had diarrhea while swimming, which was ultimately the reason for the “event” not occuring again.

Coach Kalli had a great ECB carreer until training the ECB team Blend, wich was a corporate financed team. The team was utterly destroyed by the Naughty Bullets, which of course caused the sudden stop of Kallis carreer. He is a loud and embarissing character who smokes way to much, but knows what he does when it comes to training soldiers. His ECB knowledge is unmatched (even by Summers) and he fits quite well into the crew. He mostly wears jogging and training clothes. He is almost completely bald. It is not known much about his past, or even youth. Some even argue there has never been something like “youth” to the coach. The Coach is delving into heavy focus analysis of the upcoming teams, to maybe get an edge for the Cardinal Sins.

Trevor T.o.T. Greenger and Sally Richmont, his secretary are the newest members aboard the Dragons Twilight. Not much is known about them other then Greenger being a notorious adventurer and adrenalin-junky as well as Richmont being notoriously annoyed, constantly. They are aboard as per handshake after Greenger agreed becoming the face of a marketing campaign for the Sprava Group as well as the Cardinal Sins. Therefore he was allowed to travel with them seeking adventure and new worlds. He seems to be a reasonable enjoyable character and loves the ancient clothing worn by Renard and Jerogiev. Sally clothes in somewhat ancient and strict attire herself.

Frank is one of the few survivng from the last war on Devon, since he was stationed on an orbital weapons platform, when the planet killer weapon was deployed. He is a giant but kind man that is bald headed and likes to drink and feast. He has a thick beard and likes to watch movies while shoving immense portions of snacks in his face.

He worked on and of [USNE] building services but after loosing his job at an orbital defense systems company joined a runner group that worked within the fringe belt area and along the golden band. His work at the ECB`s was to become more reknown, to land better jobs. Which in hindsight he (probably) kinda did with joing the Sprava Group.

Konrad Rozenkwit is a ex-higher-ranking NGE military and security operator. He has spent his life in the service of what he calls Vaterlandliebe. He is at the ECB`s trying to represent the qualities of the New-Germania soldier in the tournament. He and his comrades agreed to possibly join and serve the Sprava Group, to further the glory of the [NGE] influence. He is a man of upmost discipline and has a strict work-ethic. Yet he can party like a real german man, at any time he has the slightest reason.
