Physical attributes – He is a tall strong guy with a deep tanned skin, approx 100kg very defined physique. He has several tattoos that seem to be some sort of ancient runic design. He is able to lift really heavy objects but is very agile for his size due to his combat training. He is exceptionally good at submission when in close combat.

Personality – Zan is an open minded thinker and is always on the lookout, he sometimes seems a bit paranoid. Zan is somewhat of an enigma as no one knows his age or where he comes from. He usually mumbles gibberish in his sleep as well.

Physical:
A large, well-muscled man, almost two metres tall, and weighing about 120 kilos – all muscle. He is in his late thirties. He has heavy scarring on his chest and back, close cropped black hair, and his eyes are completely black, with no white visible, courtesy of a protective film implant. This implant serves primarily as protection, but could have some other functionality.

His skeletal structure has been slightly modified, strengthening it slightly beyond the human norm. He has also had extensive work done on his musculature, and is able to use his full strength for short periods of time, far surpassing unmodified human abilities.

Implants

Skeletal and muscular modifications. Protective film over eyes. Fine metal armour on the tops of his hands, bonded directly to the skeleton. This armour serves as protection, and forms into rough ridges when he clenches his fists, adding to the destructive power of his punches. No training in marital arts, but a very effective melee fighter.

Equipment (starting)

Standard shield bracelet, capable of forming an smallish – no more than 1 metre diameter – contained energy field shield that can stop small arms fire. Not suited to deflecting energy weapons, or anything more than small arms. Effective in close combat.
Heavy bladed vibrating-blade knife. Blade vibrates extremely fast, blurring the appearance of the blade slightly, and adding to the cutting power.

Personality

Soft-spoken, but quick to anger. Very loyal, and with a highly developed sense of personal honour. Dislikes stealth.

Physical

A tall, slender man, late twenties to early thirties, completely hairless, with dark brown skin, and a protective implant that extends from just below his eyebrow line to the bridge of his nose, covering his eyes. Prefers tight-fitting, nondescript clothes.

Implants
Halfway through a nervous system jack to speed up his reflexes – it can be used if he needs it, but the danger of completely destroying his nervous system is present. Adrenal boosters, that he can choose to activate to give himself even more of an edge in a combat situation.

Two contained energy field shield bracelets, one implanted on the back of each hand, generating small – about 30 centimetres diameter – shields.

Equipment

Uses two matched pistols as weapons, disdaining energy weapons apart from the defensive shields. He has developed his own fighting style, combining very fast movement with the two small shields and the dual pistols.

Personality

Abrasive and impulsive, he does not get along well with too many people. He is supremely confident in his own abilities, to the point of overconfidence. He has a weakness for attractive woman, and will probably make a move on any in his immediate surroundings – with a subtlety that is in stark contrast with his usual brash impulsiveness.

Physical

Years spent in the military before being dishonourably discharged has left their mark. Edge is a stocky, muscular man, with some light scarring around his eyes from a recent eye operation. He also has a burn scar down his right shoulder, courtesy of an accident with a plasmic thrower in the military.

Implants

Standard military grunt implants, low-effect adrenal boost, some reinforcement on the joints of his right arm and shoulder to handle the heavy gun that is standard military issue. He has also had work done on his eyes fairly recently, giving him perfect eyesight, with additional low-light adaptability.

Equipment

Usually wears light body-armour, with custom chip-controlled blending camouflage on the larger pieces. The armour is probably military-issue, although Edge does not talk about where he got it from – in fact, he will flat out ignore any attempts to inquire about his past in the military at all. Also wears a gun at all times, and has a massive plasmic thrower (energy-type weapon) that he has slung across his back – if it was not for the reinforcement in his shoulder and arm he would not be able to wield it in combat.

Personality

Blunt and outspoken, and uses very colourful language. He is very obviously ex-military, but he refuses to discuss even the smallest details of his past. Rumour has it that he was dishonourably discharged. He is also supremely confident in his skills, but not a braggard.

Known as Nehiruun

APPEARANCE

To look at, Hisato is striking. She’s tall and slim, with chiselled features. Her eyes are a piercing green – the kind of eyes that could just as well be peering into your soul as they could be looking at your face. Her muscles are toned and worked – her body is lean and athletic.

But few have seen Hisato like this. Most would see her as very average looking. That is, of course, if they remember seeing her at all. She has made being unmemorable into an art form.

To aid this, she has implants that allow her to control parts of her appearance such as her eye and hair colour. Even her voice can blend and change to match any dialect she may need. Those who know her well say she could be anywhere and nowhere – she could be anyone or no one.

PERSONALITY

Hisato is likable and easygoing – a facade she has no problem keeping on the surface, and gets along very well with people. Her loyalties are however to herself, and she will attempt to turn every situation to her own advantage. She does not particularly care for any higher ideals, and every move she makes is carefully planned to benefit herself in some way.

She has a wide network of contacts in the criminal parts of the city, and can get hold of almost anything on the black market. Her speciality is however information – acquiring, buying and selling. Her clients are the rich and powerful – from the big business owners to the world leaders.

She doesn’t care too much for the law, but she doesn’t often break it – she does however, benefit from those who do. That’s where most of her information lies – crimes, criminals and other less-than-lawful activities. She has become quite wealthy from the sale of information to the aid of both the criminals and law enforcement.

EQUIPMENT

Hisato knows her way around many different types of weapons, but she is an expert with none. She adapts to whatever is locally available, but has a preference for discreet, silenced weapons, like daggers and silenced laser weaponry.

HISTORY

Hisato’s parents were both travelling merchants. With them, she travelled from place to place, learning the customs and learning from the locals. Soon, even the locals couldn’t tell she was a foreigner. When she met biometrics engineer, Kundo Hwan in a bar on a small island, he was amazed at her travels. It wasn’t long before he suggested the implants.

Six months later, and at the age of 25, Hisato and Kundo parted ways, and Hisato disappeared. There had been very few sightings of her over the following 3 years, and now, at age 30, she is perfectly in tune with her body’s modifications and hasn’t been recognised by anyone more than once in the last 2 years.

The eye coverings also work as set of 3d computer screens.

Personal abilities have been trained a thief and a hacker from an early age. No visible implants other than the eye coverings. Yet has nurmours implant that are and not ever will be know.

Also versed in most forms of unarmed combat and some that are unknown.

OK thats what I have now will put a more discriptive charater profile when I have worked it all out.

Name at this stage need to work out one.

Dark One:Kuan Drechnak (aka The Transporter)

Appearance

Kuan is not your typical female pilot, for she is actually a true hermaphrodite. Kuan appears as a slender, attractive woman, with short, dark hair. Intricate tattoo on her left cheek, starting just below the eye and winding it's way towards her ear, then down her neck. Upon closer observation one does notice her build is slightly more muscular than usual for a female. Yet the typical assumption of her build is that she is an exercise fanatic. Her breasts is slightly smaller than the average female. Prefers brighter coloured slight loose clothing, especially to help conceal the larger bulge at the crouch. She purchases clothing that has electroptics, so she can transform her clothes into pretty much whatever she wishes for, colour wise.

Implants

Custom nervous system overhaul, so her reaction speed is excellent, making her an exceptional driver/pilot, even when she is not coupled to the vehicle's control systems.

Two control ports in her neck, allowing her to connect to the various common forms of transport used in the world. Includes a cybernetics nano computer to overcome security access control to gain control of the transportation device, equipment or vehicle. Navigation computational implant enabling her to make rapid complex navigational routes and manoeuvres.

Equipment

She uses whatever is convenient at the time, and has no particular preference. She is also not really skilled in combat, although she can handle herself if she needs to.

She will take control of any form of transportation device/equipment that is available. Starting off with the smallest vehicle of a simple hover board, and ending off with the largest vehicle of a space station.

Personality Seemingly extroverted and whimsical. This is merely a facade, and, like her clothing, can be dropped from extroverted to deadly serious in a heartbeat. Being a hermaphrodite, taken abuse when younger, she does not form attachments easily, and it is very hard to gain her trust. She is very much a loner, despite the initial impressions. Very intelligent, but she prefers to keep her opinions to herself.

History

Kuan was born into a well off middle class family, farther a starship engineer and mother a medical doctor. Even though Kuan could have easily receive gender selection surgery at birth, Kuan's parents decided to follow the professional advice to allow her to reach reproductive age before deciding on a specific gender. Even after suffering verbal abuse from other children, Kuan decided not to have surgery as she was still unsure which gender she wanted. Though Kuan opted to dress as a typical female, for she started developing breasts and had gentle facial features.

She become a fighter pilot, as it was a career where one was mostly worked alone. After serving in the starship fleet for a few years, she decided that she could make more money as a pilot for hire. To achieve her goal, she used her savings to overhaul her nervous system, and cybernetics to allow her to control any type of transport she was hired to pilot, ride or drive. Yet decided not to have any gender surgery at the time, for she had come to enjoy being a hermaphrodite, having flings with both genders. She travels between the stars, taking up various jobs of transporting cargo or documents, though she does her best in avoiding transporting illegal cargo. She dreams to have her own small starship one day to freely travel the stars.

Physcial
Approaching his mid-thirties. Average height, with a physique that was obviously muscular in the past but had gone slightly soft - the power is still there, but he is not that young anymore. Dark hair, going gray at the temples, which is rather unique since the treating of gray hair is very cheap and easy. Thick scar across his left forearm, and several tattoos on his right shoulder and arm.

Skills
Several years in the employment of a big corporation as a 'security detail' (read:mercenary) had given him a familiarity with most kinds of common weapons in Rythellan. A vicious, violent man that nevertheless had to be respected for his combat abilities, and he has a keen understanding of fighting in the tupical narrow terrain in the massive Rythellan buildings.

Personality
Curt and surly, but with sometimes surprisingly generous moments. Violent, and will always go for the confrontation. Can be stubborn, but also knows when to back down. Vicious in combat - much more so than usually needed.

Equipment
Bulky clothing, with armour reinforment protecting the vital areas. Usually has one or two smaller weapons hidden away, but prefers a medium sized energy weapon as primary weapon. Appears to always have a packet of cigarettes on him, and smokes heavily.

Glances around the Room of hired help.. looks like things are going to get messy before the end of this job... knowing from pst experiances things always go wrong no matter how well you plan... Might need to setup some sort of collateral Dammage plan here..

Speaking up " listen here people i don't know any of you , andto be honest All i care about right now is getting this job done. We need to plan this as well as we possible can and start pooling our collective resources and see what we can come up with.. By the sounds of things some of us might actually survive this job. So were going to need Schematics of the orbital station. the in's and out's , Security bypass codes , shift schedules of the people working there the whole damn lot, I think we might want to plan blowing something else up along the way to get people to look the other way."

and with that I use my com link to make a few calls...
