Project Exodus Characters

[DaddyzGirl]

​

---

Project Exodus is a mature science fiction RP rooted in human colonial expansion. There is a strong emphasis on realism, and plausibility when it comes to creating characters and there backgrounds. While it is a science fiction setting, there still are limitations on technology and what your character is capable. Feel free to create your character with specializations, high IQ's, genetic enhancements or cybernetics that fit into the setting. But please don't try to make a OP character without any real flaws. Perfect characters will not exist, everyone will have limitations and weaknesses that will require your character to need others to complete there goals. Something to consider when making your character is if they are hyperspecialized in one area, they will very likely be much less experienced in other areas.

-Things to consider when making your character-
​

• No OP characters. Imperfections are relatable. They humanize us and our creations, and they encourage people to connect with us in ways they'll never connect with that appear perfect.​
• When choosing your characters specializations and skills, think about how that will effect what you will RP. If you don't know anything about engineering or don't have a creative muse about a particular subject, avoid making that subject/specialization your characters primary field. Try to pick something you are genuinely interested in writing about.​
• Consider where your character is from (UPP, UA, 3WE) if they grew up on the dying Earth in the slums, or on a moon colony mining rare resources. Their upbringing should effect some of their dispositions, lending to an interesting or unique background and create on opportunity for you to world build.
• Think about what your character is going to be doing on Ark Genesis. Does the idea flying shuttles through asteroid fields sound cool? Make your character a pilot. How about starting a cue on the ship to become a despot? Perhaps a military mercenary, or high ranking politician.
• Your actions in the RP will have consequences. If you try to eject someone into space, don't be surprised if the group votes you into a prison cell. Depending on what you do, your character could potentially die. If you walk into space without a suit, your going to die.
• If your primary focus is slice if life and ERP. I wouldn't worry so much about some of these other issues. But I'd still encourage you to make an interesting, and dynamic character. Major RP events can really help cultivate immersion, which only makes ERP more enjoyable.

-Earth Factions-

In 2098, the world has been split into three national conglomerates; the Union of progressive Peoples, The United Americas, and The Three World Empire. Each conglomerate has It's own interests, agendas, and cultures. The three powers are in a intensely strained cold war, competing for resources and political power throughout the Sol System. Project Exodus was only possible through the combined resources of all the powers, in an attempt to hopefully ease tensions and bring hope to each powers people. This seemly peaceful cooperation does not change the reality of the deep rivalries that sow mistrust and possible violence. Ark Genesis's crew is from each world power, and will have to find a way to work together to survive this dauntless journey.​

Backstory

Eden is the genetically engineered daughter of a wealthy family, and she was created with the purpose of ensuring the family bloodline prospers well into future generations. Her main purpose in life is made exceedingly complicated due her being a lesbian, and longs to forge a relationship for genuine feelings rather than serving other's interests as a honeypot. Despite her elite parentage she is still a created being, and legally property. EVE has been granted oversight over her conduct during the mission, and has limited authority over her actions. Due to her background in computing and the Lorde family's role in it's construction, Eden shares a unique relationship with EVE and serves as an informal liaison to the AI despite not working on the computer core. Once the Ark reaches it's final destination, Eden's role is to secure a politically advantageous marriage and ensure her family's elite standing in the new world

Nationality: UPP/Russian
Social Class/Community Status: scientist
Family/Friends on Genesis Ark: tbd

Physical Description

Height: 1.65 m
Weight: 58 kg

Eyes: Blue
Physical Description: Yulia is a young woman that takes a great deal of care to look feminine every day of the week.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: Geek and quite shy
Skills/Talents: A natural aptitude for math and physics. Can solve partial differential equations in her head and does advanced quantum physics on the fly.
Likes:
Dislikes: Being mistaken for a boy. Using Imperial units - too atrocious to anything science related.

Strengths: Her intelligence.
Weaknesses: Her age and inexperience. Her physique: She would never fare well in a physical confrontation.
Fears: The greatest underlying fear of her life is not really knowing who she is and where she came from.
Hobbies/Interests: Her cat - Aleksandr Shargei

Regular Routine: Regular is not something she fancies. She goes to bed when she's tired and works as long as there's work to be done - so her day cycle is often a lot longer than 24 hours. The only regular thing she does is feeding her cat.
Philosophy of Life/Religion: Atheist.
Sexual Preference/kinks: Bisexual. Knows that her attraction to people are not determined by their gender. But she's a very inexperienced virgin, haven't even been kissed before. So she doesn't know much of her likes and dislikes. When it finally comes to sex she'll be a sub or a switch.
Education/Special Training: Has from an early age (5) been part of a training program to get her to develop her natural skills. She has been subject to many experimental methods of education and training to produce the brightest STEM minds that the UPP could create. She reads and writes several languages, but really only speaks Russian and English, the latter with an atrocious Russian accent.
Occupation: Scientist
Past Occupations: none

Backstory
Yuliana, or Yulia as her few friends call her, doesn't know where she was born. That information, along with the names of her parents, had been redacted from the documents that she had been able to get her hands on before leaving Earth. All she knows is that she lived her first years at the Lenin Orphanage in Vladivostok. According to her files she was there screened and found to be a savant in certain fields. And from the age of five she was enrolled into a state program, Дети Земли (Earth's Children), that sought to enhance and employ kids with extraordinary abilities to further the goals of the state and to possibly be a future for Earth. Yulia doesn't know much about the inner workings of the program. But she did remember a lot of other children in the program. As she graduated from the program at the age of 17 with what would equal a PhD in Physics, Mathematics and Astrophysics she was a prime candidate for Project Exodus, despite her lacking physical characteristics.

Yulia had been born a boy and the until she had entered the program she was treated as such at the orphanage. But even before she arrived there, she had the clear notion that she wasn't a boy, but rather born in the wrong body. It was thanks to the program as well as the open-minded sentiment of the UPP that Yulia at the age of 8 changed her name. She couldn't get any SRS before she was 18, and has only been on some of the best hormone therapies of the late 21st century for little over a year. So her female body have not fully developed into the woman that she hopes to become one day.

Name (& pronunciation): Kieran Kedar
Date of Birth (& age; date Genesis Ark left Earth 2098): 2089, 30 years old
Place of Birth: Pluto Hades Habitat VI
Gender: Male
Nationality: UPP/Russian
Social Class/Community Status: Soft Science/Leadership
Family/Friends on Genesis Ark: Cassidy (sister)

Physical Description

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 185
Hair: Dark blond
Eyes: Brown
Physical Description:

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude:
Skills/Talents (see other sheet): Above average mental abilities, Great resilience/particularly against travel atrophy and expected colony disease, bachelors degrees in world history and basic psychology
Likes: Group activities, good food, learning new things
Dislikes: Small talk, being alone,
Goals/Agenda: Creating a relative utopia, avoiding a "council of the useless" (though obviously with him)
Strengths: Despite not being a technician, he is prepared for this. Growing up on Pluto and engineered to be compatible with space travel, he knows he will be as comfortable on the ship as anyone.
Weaknesses: His role is to be a politician on a ship, and he's not even charismatic. Not ideal.
Fears: His biggest fear is that he will be cast aside, unimportant, a complete non-factor in what his whole life has been a preparation for.
Hobbies/Interests: Chess, "distance" running, various competitions
Regular Routine: Morning run, "rounds", self-study
Philosophy of Life/Religion: Atheist
Sexual Preference/kinks: Heterosexual
Education/Special Training: bachelors degrees in world history and basic psychology
Occupation: Government
Past Occupations: Local government, junior professor (simultaneously)

Backstory: Algorithms can be a wonderful thing, promising objective fairness while being rigged to select those you already wanted. The powerful in UPP had a list of those they wanted to head the new colony, and meticulously coded the selection algorithm to choose them. They were partially successful, in that some were selected. However, in comparing which candidates to code in favor of and against, they forgot to consider Pluto. Pluto was, after all, basically a colony as well. Why leave one colony for another?

Unfortunately, Kieran had volunteered, and he fit the algorithm perfectly. He had two soft science degrees, had experience in government, and had the lower age, great health, and heightened immune system that may of the UPP candidates lacked. He was a clear "winner."

Backstory

Born on August 25, 2067 in a run down hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dallas was born to his mother Amanda Ryman with his father having divorced his mother a week before the birth. This gave him a more closer paternal connection to his mother as opposed to the latter, leaving him to live with her in an impoverished house just in the outskirts of Sandsprings. The run down and abandoned factories gave him an entire world to explore growing up, and with very few friends, did he discover his passion for adventure and exploration which involved high levels of athleticism to scale some of the more dangerous complexes like abandoned grain silos. Despite growing up with very little, it was a happy child hood for what he made it. His mother drilled him to become more academically sound to avoid being trapped in poverty like her, where she worked for an insurance company.

When Dallas graduated high school, he didn't receive a scholarship to Oklahoma State University as he'd hoped. This led him to change his occupation to his second plan in the military. Originally set out to be an Engineer for the Army, he met with an airmen recruiter who was part of the Para-rescue squadron. A fifteen year veteran, he was a man that he'd soon aspire to be and look up to, possibly from the absence of his father. He decided to go big, being apart of a family that he'd yearned for after the loss of his few friends moving on to better things in life. He found this brotherhood through trial by fire, going through the pipeline of being a rescue ranger. He came close to failing in the swim course where he'd nearly drowned. However out of the class of 126, only 14 made it through the grueling two year school.

Dallas was apart of something bigger than himself, and he'd never trade it for anything. He managed to see parts of the world his mother wouldn't ever get to. He was deployed to support indigenous fighters in the Libyan deserts over an oil dispute, and the highlands of the Alps over claimant of raw materials by opposing parties. Although his deployments in the bigger frame were mainly resource based, he was more focused on saving the lives of downed airmen behind enemy lines and rescuing innocents injured during the fighting. If it came down to defending themselves, they were more than up for the task. There were several incidents that Dallas engaged in battle, but rarely was it fierce. One he can recall was with the Libyan conflict where the motto, 'So others may live', was demonstrated. His wingman was retreating with a child injured with a stray bullet, and when it seemed like he wasn't going to make it before the fighters caught up, shielded the girl's body with his and fought off the attackers with hand grenades.

Nine years of service, Dallas was a decorated Technical Sergeant with two enlistments completed. It was here when he was on the fence as Special Operations wasn't something you can make a career out of. One could, but it would be very hard on the body and the mind. Dallas had plunged into drinking to overcome his mental health temporarily. The loss of friends, both in combat and separation, didn't help much either. Though a month before, he'd placed his name in a pool of others and their vast experience on joining on an operation that would be betterment for humanity. It was here that Dallas was one of those selected to his amazement and where he was secretly briefed on the tales of said mission.

Dallas returned home for the next two years after he was discharged from the Air Force and placed into the reserves in order to be given the time to spend with his ailing mother. He was the only son of his two other sisters, and he'd spent all this time taking them on trips and vacations to the few beautiful places left worth visiting in this depleting world. They knew where he was going, he may not come back, so they cherished as much time as they could until that heart aching day arrived. His mother didn't want her son to leave, but she understood the vastness of his mission (which he confided to in private) and was extraordinarily proud. With a tearful farewell, Dallas set off to his staging point, where he'd begin a new life, with a new family. One he'd protect, so that others may live.
