				<strong>Name:</strong> Lynea Stern<br><br><strong>Age:</strong> mid 30's (possibly 35?) <br><br><strong>Gender:</strong>&nbsp; Female<br><br><strong>Crew Role:</strong> Captain<br><br><strong>Appearances:</strong> Tall, about 5'9" in height with a decent athletic build of someone who came from military. She let her blonde hair grow out to almost shoulder length and are complimented with nice blue eyes. While Lynea is attractive, she isn't going win any Core World pageants. If one looks close enough or are a medical professional, they could probably see the almost invisible surgical scars that suggest likely extensive cosmetic surgery.<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> While Lynea doesn't talk much about her history, there's been enough hints and familiarity to certain skills that suggest Lynea's childhood was on a ranch somewhere on Hera. Her childhood was a happy one, at the very least she never made it much complaints about it. When the unification war came, a 24 year old Lynea joined the war on the side of the Independents. Despite this popular choice among the outer worlds, this seemed to turn the relationship with her family sour. The details about her involvement in the war are sketchy and like most veterans, the captain rarely speaks up about those times. However, with 23rd Militia, Lynea saw and fought through the war from beginning to end, including the Battle of Serenity Valley. In the last battle, the entire 23rd Militia was wiped out, just another statistic in the 700,000 lost.<br><br>Since then, Lynea had to work from the ground up in earning enough money to buy a ship, but ended just stealing one from a group of bandits. Feeling no connection or longing for the New 'verse that had started to form.&nbsp; Recruitment to fill in the crew requirements had been rough and strange to say the least, but she wouldn't trade what she has now for any amount of credit offered.<br><br>She's more than capable of taking care of herself and is generally a good leader/Captain when she needs to be. A little introverted, Lynea has enough social skills to get along with her crew and find jobs. Snark does tend to pour out of her mouth when under abundance of fear, getting her into more trouble than she already was on occasion. While isn't one to wear dresses, this doesn't mean she won't or she isn't feminine. It's just substantially subdued and would only come out for the right situation or person. <br><br>[OOC: If anyone could find a picture of a fairly attractive but not super-model blonde,&nbsp; I'd be more than thankful.]

				<strong>Name:</strong> Bethany Smithson<br><br><strong>Age:</strong> 27<br><br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>Crew Role:</strong> Pilot<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Bethany is of average height at 5'7'', but her body is far from standard. She is very feminine, not something out of a beauty contest or a rival for a Companion, but good looking in the best sense. She is delicately curvacious in the right places, but still has the athletically slender body of a woman who does not lead a straight and narrow life. She has green eyes, framed by a pretty face and short auburn hair.<br>(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r60/KristieAndreaParker/short-auburn-layers.jpg)<br><br><strong>Brief History:</strong> Bethany was born on Boros to a wealthy upper-class family. Her parents jointly owned a large scrap-metal company with multiple contracts with the Alliance. Growing up around rusted ship hulls and parts, she soon developed a small obsession with starships, and with that, flying them. She frequently watched starships leaving the ports of Boros and desperately wanting to leave the junkyard planet, as she called it. She had an easy life, but didn't think she had much to look forward too on Boros, aside from either marrying young or selling scrap metal.<br><br>As soon as she was of age, she hooked up with the Alliance and was glad to finally leave, experiencing space for the first time from the cockpit of a support vessel in the war against the Indepents. <br>During the war, Bethany primarily flew transport or supply ships and never saw direct combat, though she was in a few battles and even earned a commendation for using her transport ship to evacuate wounded in a rather daring rescue. But, as the war concluded, Bethany had quickly grown sour of the Alliance and some of the more inexcusable ways they had won the war. <br><br>With no intention of going back home, she left the Alliance after the war ended and quickly set out on her own, piloting a dozen different ships since and never staying with one crew for too long. They either did stuff she disapproved of, or were too strict, or careless, for her liking.<br><br>Bethany is a bit of a goof, and tends to be somewhat awkward though clearly she knows alot about piloting starships, mostly through experience. She is very cocky and perhaps overconfident, but with good reason. Despite that, she's self aware, and knows she can handle almost everything yet isn't afraid to mention she might not be able to do something, and still tends use sarcasm in tense situations, usually to the awe of her captains.<br><br>http://www.hairlover.com/short-auburn-layers.jpg (http://www.hairlover.com/short-auburn-layers.jpg)

				<strong>Name</strong>: Noel Reddeker<br><br><strong>Age</strong>: 39<br><br><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br><br><strong>Crew Role</strong>: Second-in-Command; Muscle/Bodyguard<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong>: A slightly shorter than average Caucasian with a short-cut mess of black hair, broad shoulders, and an unremarkable, tired looking face.&nbsp; Stands about 5'5".&nbsp; Not particularly muscular.&nbsp; His clothing consists of one of a number of thick khaki engineers pants, boots, and a solid color tee-shirt, usually black or grey.&nbsp; When planetside, he'll throw on a duster, raincoat, hat, gloves, or any other accessories as the situation requires.&nbsp; No jewelry.&nbsp; He has a barcode tattooed into the inside of his right fore-arm, but no other markings.&nbsp; Noel has scars, but you won't see them with his shirt on.<br><br>(http://www.os2guy.com/uploaded_images/ive-703680.jpg)<br><br><strong>Brief History</strong>: Noel Reddeker, born to mechanic Patrice June and small-time merchant Kyle Reddeker in the fair-sized town of Breakwater on Hera.&nbsp; After a brutal accident where he accidentally killed a farmer who had brought in his malfunctioning harvester, a fifteen year old Noel panicked, fled Breakwater, and stowed away on the first spacecraft offplanet.&nbsp; He was quickly discovered by the crew, of course.&nbsp; Instead of returning to Hera, the captain decided to enlist Noel in a form of indentured servitude.&nbsp; Work for the vessel, do as you were told, and you would receive food, a bed, and as much safety as the Outer Rim could offer.&nbsp; Fearing he would be executed for murder on Hera, Noel agreed.<br><br>The twenty or so years between then and now is not a period he talks much about; more-so due to lack of interest than any intentional subterfuge.&nbsp; It's obvious, though, that he became the skilled smuggler he now is in the interim.&nbsp; He learned how to properly mask illegal cargo, who to bribe, what ports to settle in, and all the other tricks of the trade that keeps him and his crewmembers kickin'.

				At this point in time, I know Phyr's, Mrpanda's, and my own character have been together since the "acquisition" of the <em>Vagabond</em>.&nbsp; What we need to figure out is how long it's been since Noel, Sparks, and Lynea, er, "acquired" the <em>Vagabond</em>, and then when all the other crewmembers came onboard.&nbsp; I say we make it relatively recent, like within the past two or three years, a couple years after the end of the Unification War.

				<strong>Name</strong> Alexander Illyetchin<br><br><strong>Age</strong> 32<br><br><strong>Gender</strong> Male<br><br><strong>Crew Role</strong> Mercenary<br><br><strong>Appearance</strong> At well over six feet Alexei as he is often called stands over most. His ethnicity is somewhat confused with a mix of Northern European, Russian and East Asian influences. He is well-trained without being beefy. He has long tousled brown hair with dark eyes and with usually some well-maintained dark stubble on high cheek bones.<br><br>Alexei usually feels most at home in uniform, or uniform-like clothing but sees the use of combining it with more dirt resistant clothes. To avoid the grey of the Alliance and the brown of rebels he usually wears black or tan with bronzed details. Uniform jackets with high collars and starched white shirts are often mixed with cargo-pants and serious work boots.<br><br>Under his clothes he has a few markings which easily identifies him. Three long scars run diagonally across his back from being disciplined in the navy. He also have tattooed military insignia on his upper-arm and shoulder giving away his earlier involvement with the shock-troops of the Alliance.<br><br>(I have an image but I'm not sure how to upload it)<br><br><strong>Brief History</strong>He grew up in a poor but principled family on one of the core planets. Growing up in a fully Chinese-speaking and ethnically Chinese area his first language is Chinese and he was always considered a bit odd, outside of his family. His father and mother gave him a strong view of what is right and wrong and the importance of moral integrity. <br><br>Alexei bought the talk of the barbarity of the rebels and his parents supported him joining the Alliance navy at an early age. He was a hard loyal worker and he rose in ranks quickly. He was at Serenity Valley leading a team of elite shock-troopers and long saw it as his most heroic effort in his life. He progressed up in the ranks and became an intelligence officer pursuing the scattered rebels. It wasn't until he had risen to the level where he came into contact with the blue-handed men that he started to question the goals of the Alliance. When he saw them experimenting on youngsters he decided it was time to leave. He faked his own death in a convincing manner, so convincing that his parents bought it, something that still pains him. <br><br>Alexei still holds on to his view of good and evil, of black and white. If he believe your cause is good he is as loyal as an old German Shepherd but if he thinks that his employer is in general causing ill then he may disappear without trace. He has little experience of&nbsp; the opposite sex but is looking forward to exploring feelings that he often repressed in the interest of his career. He is a gentleman to the tip of his fingers.<br><br>He often feels guilty about his past in the Alliance and it makes him try harder to befriend Brown Coats, something that is not very often reciprocated. He may often seem cold and calculating but he is not without a sense of humor. At the moment Alexei feels goal-less and adrift and needs something to work towards.<br><br>Alexei is well versed with the Alliance military and has first hand intelligence of their tactics, resources and fire-power. He is also a born soldier with both tactical skill, a steady hand with all kinds of firearms and courage when called for.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

				I wouldn't mind being a later joiner to the ship, perhaps joining in the beginning of the story or just before. I'd like to at least begin as a bit of a stranger and outsider. Perhaps someone the ship didn't think they needed until running into some kind of trouble.

				(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l277/phyrfaerie/Niobi-1.jpg)<br><br><strong>Name</strong>: Sparks (Niobi Waller)<br><br><strong>Age</strong>: 35<br><br><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br><br><strong>Character Bio</strong>: All that is known about Sparks is that she is the resident engineer on the Vagabond. She came with the ship. This is what is known, and she makes no other story known. Shes a punk, through and through, and is known for being " loyal to the engine." She knows her way around just about any kind of ship in the fleet or elsewheres, and is fluent in all trading languages. The 'bond flourishes in her care, so does the cargo. Usually seen wearing a large trench with a cowlesque hood.
