Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Dawn Lebourne
Species: Terran
Position: Medical
Appearance: Dawn is a pale, 5'6" tall brunnette who keeps her shoulder length curls tied in a loose bun. She has friendly forest green eyes, a petite nose and thin lips. Because of her current position as an M.D., she is always seen in a white or royal blue coat.
Personality: Dawn is always friendly and willing to help, but not to a point where it begins to annoy others. She is a relentlessly curious intellect, earning her a place in psychiatry when she is not tending to patients in the medical ward. She is stubborn when others question or disagree with her logic. As a result of the strict upbringing by her aloof parents, she is very inexperienced and is sometimes distant to anyone that tries to get romantically involved.
History: Not much is known about Dawn, except for the fact that she always wears a pretty smile. As a child, she was sent away by her parents to the best schools and highly encouraged her to earn a Ph. D, giving her no control over her own career path. Her circle of friends is small, but she hangs onto them dearly, despite how far she is from them now. She is aboard on the CDF Argus, working as a civilian doctor for a while until deciding to join the military to become a medic. Dawn's purpose for joining the military was to simply enjoy the progress to achieve status again, even though she had already done so with earning her Ph. D.

Name: Duroni
Species: Gurodani
Gender: Male
Position: Cooking/Labor: Cook & Rationing. Possibly checks or orders inventory as well?
Appearance: While one of the smaller of his species, to a human even Duroni would look intimidating. As a younger child Duroni walked almost solely on all fours, so his forelegs are strong; he only started walking up right with any regularity a few years before joing the crew. He is light brown with darker spots.
Personality: Duroni has a sense of simplistic irony that pervades his interactions with the world (er, universe). He believes that most people take themselves too seriously and get caught up in unecessary and confusing details. While he can remember and cook complicated meals, he is not interested in the details of any thing else-- a summary will do just fine. A summary confirms his belief that very little actually changes around him and that most problems aren't worth worrying about. This attitude might give him a laid-back look compared to others of his species. But don't let that fool you. He may have fewer altercations on his record than others, but that doesn't mean he doesn't loose his temper in a bad way on occassion. He doesn't like people talking down to him, poking fun at him, nor talking too fast and convoluted. He's not exactly the most outgoing and talkative fellow, either. Just let him do his work; he's a great worker when he has clear objectives, which he will meet along with other problems that arise along the way.
History: Duroni is the equivalent of a young adult (40). He was interested in space travel because otherwise his job as a cook is relatively boring, yet he did not want to try another field or take on vastly different responsibilities.

Name: Ellestegram (Goes by Ell)
Species: C'setan
Gender: Male
Position: Labor

History: Ell was born into one of the lowest classes in the C'setan caste sytem in 3034 TS. He lived with his father as a harvester. His parents were very old at the time he was born. Many thought it would be impossible for Ell' s mother, Ellegra, to even concieve at her age. Ellegra and her partner (Ell's father) Estram had dreamed of having a child for many years. They were finally granted their wish and had Ellestegram. Ellestegram's mother died giving him life, which is very uncommon among C'setan. Ell grew up and was raised by his father. Estram cared deeply for his son. Ell devoted his life to his father and their farm. He grew old enough to leave and start a family of his own, but could not bear to leave his father alone with such a heavy burden as the farm.Time passed and Ellestegram grew to become a strong male. Although he was physically able, he was not very educated. When his father passed away, Estram gave Ell the farm. Estram was all Ell had, so after he mourned the death of his father he decided to start a new path. Ellestsgram wanted to learn about all forms of life. He wished to grow and become more than just a low class farmer. Ell sold the farm and joined the Consortium Defense Force never to looking back.

Name: Garret Kim
Species: Terrans
Gender: Male
Position: Sciences
Appearance: Garret has the eternal poker baby face. His brown eyes are always deep in thought, with his thin black brows are arched above it. His cheeks are high, and seems wide thanks to his square chin. His skin is fair, yet the color of his cheek is often rosy. His head is usually nearly shaved, leaving only a few millimeters all around. He’s a little shorter than average, but his body has a wider structure. Though he is fit by academy standards, he’s a little chubby all around giving him a youthful appearance.
Personality: Garret keeps to himself a lot and is pretty quiet most of the time. He really has an aversion to socializing, and often likes to do things alone. There are times when he does show some emotion, but its kind of ironic that he's not very human most of the time. He's known to be lazy, but he's a hardworker when he needs to and usually only when he needs to.
History: Garret belongs to a wealthy family of medics and engineers, though his job doesn’t fall from the tree, he took sciences to separate himself. He never had the highest marks in his class, nor was often really awarded for his talents due to the fact that he was lazy. Garret finished through school with mediocre grades, and this perhaps was the reason why he has joined the navy. Garret also seems to harbor some animosity towards other species, this hatred seemed to have stem from his parent’s attitudes.

Name: Gorgra'di
Species: Gurodani
Position: Marines/Security
Appearance: Gorgra'di is a little larger than most Gurodani males. While most Gurodanis' second set of arms are used for small tasks, Gorgra'di has very muscular lower arms from years of combat. He is commonly seen in old armor.
Personality: Gorgra'di is an old warrior. He is a great warrior, a master. He is calmer than most Gurodani, and is considered an elder of his people. He is always doing something, be it training, working or maintaining something. His hobbies are training and improving his people's combat arts (martial arts, bladed weapons, armors). It is not uncommon for him to have sensors going off due to smoke in his room from a makeshift forge.
History: Gorgra'di is a veteran of the Gurodani-Velitor war, after the end of the war he found himself with little. The youth of his species wanting glory died fast at the end of the war and many that lived returned to there old lives. Gorgra'di, knowing only the art of combat open a school of the old combat arts. The same that rushed to war came to his school, but most were hotheaded. Few were interested in the old arts, seeking only to gather and boast of old deeds. After the CDF allowed Gurodani to join the force, the few students he had joined. After years of struggle he finally closed his school and went to the CDF, hoping that he could perhaps help in new battles, and train youth.
Gorgra'di can be found in his spare time practicing his combat arts. He is a master of Gurodani marshal arts and various bladed weapons. While capable of using more advanced weapons he prefers blade. "The blade is a personal weapon, it is an extension of yourself. You have to fight and know your enemy before you kill him, they knowing you. Killing your enemy with a blade you can see him die and let him know who has taken his life. Your enemy, knowing you, will tell those in the after life of your deeds."

Name: Vexyr (Wex-ear)
Species: Velitor
Gender: Male
Position: Marine
Appearance: To others he might look very old considering his long feeder tentacles, though his people would always notice right away that he's relatively young. In Terran terms he'd be around 24-25 years old. His bony protrusion has been stopped short and been cracked and was severe enough cut short bone growth-today there are only scars and depressions to where it had been originally cracked, though it shows it's injury physically. His skin is has a slight leathery feel to it, and is a dark blue-ish gray color.
Personality: Though his past is full of war-he is a very kind young man. He will not excuse the Gurodani for what they did to his family because of his honor. Honor-it was one of the five values his father taught him they were: Unity, Strength, Honor, Respect, and - Forgiveness. He followes all but one of these today-Forgiveness. He is reliable and resilient, he'll stand through the toughest storms and weather the harshest of colds to stand by your side when you need him. He is very smart and a thinker-like most Velitors- but he doesn't think about his next invention, or how to Prove himself better than Gurodanis. He thinks in the now and questions his own reasons for doing things-in some respects he is very much like a Terran.
History: His bony protrusion had stopped when he was young because of the Gurodani-Velitro war. Once as a child his village was attacked, his mother and father scrambled to get him to a safe place-his mother who was carrying him was attacked and in an attempt to save her 2nd child she covered the body using hers like a shield. His father fought back the Gurodani, but during the attacks his mother's Spine cracked greaty and the force of some of the Gurodani's blow went through to the child-enough to crack his head. Though the Gurodani was fought off he came out badly injured and was scarred for life as for his mother-they left her in the street, reluctantly, for his mother died instantly . His father and brother were badly injured in the war and spent many days in the hospital- so he stayed with his other relatives until they were patched back up. Then a few days later they would leave again to fight. He hated the war and he hated the Gurodanis for hurting his loved ones. When the sudden "peace" treaty came his father and brother were so used to fighting, that they couldn't adjust, and so they died as a result. Vexyr didn't come out of the fight with a desire for revenge however, he was a smart young man, and so he began to hate war itself. Realising that he couldn't protect anyone he loved the way he was he became a marine. A couple years later, in the academy, he had a revelation-nothing comes without cost-and he was destroying those who only protected who and what they loved. He plans to pose this statement to the instructor at the academy soon...

THE SOUND OF the bell filled the massive chamber with a ululation that would mean the beginning of the new year for the throngs of new recruits in the Academy. As the bell hushed everyone to silence, a well-dressed man made his way to the podium atop the enormous gilded altar that depicted a magnificent angel guiding an fleet of ships out into space. An admiral was introducing him as he continued his ascent. His name was Kreszch, a Fleet Admiral who had been invited to the reception ceremony of the new recruits. After a few moments of silence, he reached the podium and adjusted his collar's clasp before he spoke.

"Thank you," Kreszch began, filling the hall with a vox-enhanced echo. "It is a pleasure to be here. Thank you Admiral Palder for the introduction and thank you also for inviting me to be here today to speak at this wonderful event. To Provost Elster, Captain Herron, Dr. Renok, faculty, and
staff of the Pegasus Naval Academy, distinguished guests, friends of this institution and most importantly, to those recruits who are set to graduate this year. Good day.

"This is an important ceremony to this institution and an important ceremony for me. So I wouldn't have missed it for anything. See, I started here and so I will always have a special affection for this place. And right here in this very hall I was an officer candidate, like you, eager to begin my duties and ready to prove myself. And that is why you are here and that is what we will teach you here. A place where knowledge increases, and that of course is the whole purpose of this institution. I do especially appreciate days like today when we celebrate the fulfillment of shared promises.

"And what does that mean? Well, I've come to believe in something that I call covenant leadership, and it is about the promises that we make to each other and it is about the promises that institutions make to the people who are in the institution. And I'm taken by the fact that when young men and women, promise to support and defend the Consortium, it's important for us to remember that when our young people make a promise like that, that we promise something in return. And in the case of this institution, this is part of the promise that we make, to provide every opportunity for individuals in our institution to grow and develop and to help them achieve their goals. We have opened the door to your new life, and now it is time to cross the threshold.

"You all have had doors open for you and you will be opening countless doors in the future through the shear force of ideas. The most basic of our beliefs about people is this: there should be no borders between knowledge and opportunity, and as you go out and lead you must see to that. We must use all of our talents and play to all of our strengths to win this war for ideas.

"I believe the truth underpinning our beliefs will make us victorious, and you as you leave, hold the power of those beliefs in your hands and in your actions as you leave. This prestigious facility has invested in you. It's what you give in return now that matters most, and that is what service is all about. The world now places upon your shoulders our most treasured hopes and our most earnest cares and I ask you not to ever forget that.

"I especially want the keepers of this great institution, the faculty and staff here at Pegasus, and every student in this audience to know how much I appreciate what you are doing for our federation and to grow our people for the future. And I thank you for the opportunity to visit with the likes of you. This is your day and I am honored to be part of it.

"And lastly, this is so important because this group brings a rich perspective to the officer corps that can only be achieved through diversity. And I want you to know that I am proud that you bring that into our services.

"And so I close with this. I wish you every success and may the gods bless and keep you all, and I congratulate you as you are received into this magnificent Academy and strive to make the universe a better place."

With that, the entire chamber was consumed in the din of applause. The audience rose in standing ovation, and remained there. The new officer candidates were excited to be there. This hour changed their lives forever; beginning their lives as an officer, and ending their times as a civilian. It took nearly a minute for the crowd to calm, and as it did members of the faculty told the new students to exit the hall and find their new quarters.

This was the destiny they had travelled so far to reach.

Applauding with enthusiasm, it had always been Zach's dream to be enlisted in the Pegasus Naval Academy. His father, and grandfather, had both graduated from this academy and Zach felt overjoyed to be part of the family tradition.

Walking through the doors, many of the students looked excited and eager to start their training right away, however some appeared to be nervous or even reluctant to be there. Following the crowd, Zach had no idea which direction the Recruit's quarters were located, and he had no intention on getting lost on the very first day. Soon however, the crowd began to filter out, as many of the students began to go their own way. Beginning to get worried, Zach laughed at himself, realizing that his anxiety was getting the better of him, causing every little thing to seem more important than it really was. Calming down a little, he continued to follow a small group of students hoping that unlike him, they knew their way around.


NRPG: Awesome. Academy finally opened. I wouldn't mind being your roomy, it might be kinda interesting since our characters are so different. You came to the academy to spite your parents and you don't like socializing, and i came to the academy to be a part of the family tradition and I'm a very open person.

Sighing with relief, Zach put his luggage down on the nearest bed. He looked around and found that the room was rather empty and dull. Looking at the other person in the room Zach sighed and said,"pretty dull in here eh?"

"A little overwhelmed, I guess I never knew just how big this place really was," Raisha looked away from the other Terran unzipping her bag as she did so. She had brought very few personal items with her. Most dating back to when she went by Giz, not Raisha Vallen. Raisha pulled out the first object - a small doll relating to a traditional Rek' Kiri good fortune bringing figure. Giz gently set the doll on the narrow space that served as a window sill. She could at least look out and watch the docking ships from her bed when they called lights out.

"Oh, I forgot. I'm Raisha Vallen, what's your name?" Raisha turned back to the other woman in the room extending out a hand.

Hopefully the two Terrans would get along with no trouble. Giz wasn't looking forward to making any enemies while at Pegasus Orbital. Something that always seemed an overly optimistic view to her, not all people would be glad to make friends and honestly Raisha knew she had to make allies, not really true friends, with her fellow recruits if she didn't want trouble her first days as a recruit.
