Vikam and Ishka are twins, who spend so much time together, you rarely see them in the same room - wait...<br/>Let me try again.  Vikam and Ishka are twin Scions, children of Vishnu.  They live together, traveling all over the world for their jobs.  They are both world-class scientists, though in different (if similar) fields.  Because they are so busy, they do not maintain a regular residence.  They are always traveling, either for his job or for hers.<br/><br/>Vikam runs a think tank that examines the results of the Human Genome Project, and is studying several projects in the field of genetics.  Publicly, he's looking for the cure to cancer.  Secretly, he's looking for a 'divinity gene.'  He's very busy with his work, but has the blessing of his parents.  He is very close to his twin sister, Ishka.  Though they tend to travel together, Vikam usually stays in the hotel (or whatever), corresponding via computer with several people at once.<br/><br/>Ishka on the other hand, tends to prefer speaking with her colleagues in person.  She is also a specialist in the field of biology, but not human biology like her brother.  She is an expert on plant genetics, and studies various crossbreeding projects hosted by scientists the world over.  Her work is a constant search for the defining principles of plant genetics.<br/><br/>Ishka is the character I'd like to play, while Vikam is a foil I'll bring in from time to time, with the ST's permission.  Full concept and sheet to come shortly.
