This one began his humble years in the mines of Vespar, and joined the Coalition Officer Academy along with it's brothers once the Great Coalition asked for one to fight in the conflict with the ones known as the Shapers. This one succeeded, and has become a junior officer in the Coalition Legions.

cheery. but on the other hand...selling sentient beings, illegal weapons and the like is not quite 'lawful good'
Wonder what we would be on the alignment table?

Player: Mordoskul
Name- Q'woodra
Species: Cephran
Career- Infiltrator
Equipment- Target Beam, Combat Knife, Cloaking Suit, Pistol
Backstory/Bio- Born from a clutch of over four thousand siblings, Q'woodra spent his early years swimming through the vast oceans of his homeworld, and mingling with the offworld races in the topworlder pubs. The Cephran found himself fascinated with the idea of space travel, of a life spent wandering and exploring the stars at a whim. The only roadblock in his path was a lack of finances, but Q'woodra was not dismayed by this dismal fact. Signing up with a Hrovan merchant by the name of Grooda Tahm, he helped smuggle goods into the topworld settlements, earning enough credits to take him offworld. Working as a freelance fence and smuggler, Q'woodra made quiet a decent living for himself, avoiding the notice of the Coalition. During a standard smuggling run on Andromeda, Q'woodra was pulled over by a Coalition patrol craft, who demanded to search his cargo. Q'woodra complied, but suspected there was more to these patrolmen than met the eye. He was correct, the patrolmen were really members of the Muzza Consortium who sought to steal his cargo, a fact which was revealed when they tried to kill him. Q'woodra killed his attackers and fled into Jump Space, forced to abandon his run after the conflict. The Muzza Consortium then placed a ten-thousand credit bounty on his head, and has forced Q'woodra to lay low to avoid their bounty hunters and hit men.
Motivation- Q'woodra is in it for the money, nothing more, nothing less. If he saves the galaxy and makes a profit, well, that's just icing.
Best Quality- Q'woodra is dependable and loyal, always coming through when he is most needed.
Worst Quality- Q'woodra openly mocks humanoids, who he refers to as 'poor ape-creatures'. This trait has made him more than a few enemies.
Bio: Xytan was born on his native world of Vespar along with his three brothers, living with their mother, as their father died in a mining incident. As their father did, Xytan and his brothers entered the mining business, quickly becoming experts on the job. When the coalition began the call for troops, Xytan and his brothers immediately jumped shift to start helping the rest of the universe. He has seen some light conflict, but has yet to see real front-line work. As a result, he is still considered a green-horn. His knowledge of stone and underground may yet prove useful. Also plays the Shamisen.
Motivation: Desires to see the rest of what the universe has to offer and to help less fortunate worlds.
Best Quality: Xytan is just as religious as the rest of his kin, but disapproves of preaching in favor of a more spiritual faith. This decision has put him on better terms with atheists and those of other religions.
Worst Quality: Despite his desire to help, Xytan will use cold logic in his quest. IE: Kill a few, save many.
Other Skills: Mining and Rock sciences, plays the shamisen
Quote: "This one does not enjoy the fighting, the killing. This one would like to save rather than kill. But when this one fights for others, to save the life Valla grants, it becomes a chore, just as any other."

He instead, stayed at home, saving even more money. When his uncle was found to be smuggling the illegal skinned E’nathi scales that some people coveted for their sheen. The shop and all of his uncles belongings were given to Tennisk. He quickly bought a small freighter and began running loads for Kommar corp. but he did not feel quite as free as he hoped. So he quit his job at Kommar and instead began gunrunning for the infamous, Duklo, a renowned Mcabrian gangster. For six years he ran the illegal pelts, drugs and guns. But when he had to drop a shipment due to a CSDF patrol boat yanking him out of jump-space and performing a inspection, Duklo threatened to have him fed to a wild zontar.

When he managed to board an enemy carrier and hacked into its systems and got it to self destruct. He was entered into the commando corps. Where he soon volunteered for this elite strike team as the technician.
Motivation: all that Ark’ik wants to do is fiddle with tech and roam the stars
Best quality: Tennisk is an easygoing tech who tens to joke about anything, but is can be as unfunny and serious as a Mcabrian when he wants to.
Worst quality: Tennisk Vann sees the Arcturans as chauvinistic, vain, self obsessing, grandiose, and pompous. And tends to distain them and rebuke them for their decadent ways
Quote: “Nothing in the galaxy is larger than the derian nebulae…save maybe an Arcturans ego.”
(note: since there are no conventional 'names' among the vernid, the vernid use the names of other races as theirs Tennisk Vann was named after a family friend, a chilcaera, who disappeared in black space on a cargo run for Kommar Korp)

M'kala grew up into the art of war, the scars all-over his body showing the brutal training regimes overwatched by his uncle and father.

Species- Human
Career- Soldier
Equipment- Assault Rifle Custom made with built in recoil suppressor and suppressor, Flack Vest, Autopistol, Helmet with vitalfeed and targetting optics constructed for him buy someone who owed him, Medikit, Combat Knife that has seen years of use and reconditioning. (Special equipment) Sniper rifle he crafted for the express purpose of single shot kills. The old fashined lever action looks like it came out of the 21st century, which it could very well of seeing as the wepon was built by Terence himself and has more kill marks on it that a neuclear silo.
Backstory/Bio- Terence is dead. He has been for centuries. He was placed in Cryogenic stabilization when he was 23 in the year 2013. Legally, hes dead. But praises to heavan dont say that to his face. Hes been awake for 10 years now, and hes more than used to his life as a soldier. He doesnt socialise, he doesnt even pay attention when people ask him how he is. Not to the grunts anyway. Terence was placed in Cryo against his will. He had a life, a family. He was happy. But he was forced to watch his wife and child murdered. He was shoved into a cryogenic tank. And sealed in. He froze with his fists pounding on the glass and a note on his chest. Written by the men who killed his family it said. "Dont wake me up."
Of course the doctors ignored the note, they were ordered to wake up all the frozen form that century, it wasnt as if he would survive. Not with that much head trauma. But he did survive and when the doctors woke him up his first screamed word that the current century heard from him was his wifes name. JESS!!!
Scince that day he has distanced himself from ordainary people. Preffering to live his own life away from the social circles of the galaxy. Hes afraid hell fall for someone else. Afraid that the memories he had of his family will be for nothing. He spent the next ten years training. Before he was frozen he was a soldier. A member of an elite special unit for terrorist hunting in Britan.
When he woke up he decided to keep doing what he did best. Killing. Recently he has been approached by several members of the local government of his subsector and been asked to join a special unit. His memories of the old days strong in his mind he readily accepted. There were more people who needed to be on the wrong end of the trigger.
These days his Jacket has a sewn in flak lining and his pants are lined with clips of ammunition. His dark brown eyes and hair almost seem to meld with his tanned skin. His mouth never smiles, unless hes pulling the trigger.
Motivation- Trying to escape the memories of his past. Hes used to this new age. but that doesnt mean he likes it.
Best Quality- Pure skill, hes trained himself to ignore pain and hardship scince he was a kid. Here in this new age thats even easier with the biological strengtheners he had been taking for ten years. Now hes as hardy as an ox and his trigger finger is still perfectly timed.
Worst Quality- Hes cold. So cold that most people cant stand to be around him. Nothing they say or do can get him to like them. This means that he makes friends... very very rarely. There are a few people he can cope with. But they are the people who genuinley care. He gives them the time of day because they remind him of home.
