PARISA DORVAL // 36 , senator , visionaries .

“the real crime here is that blouse. did you get dressed in the dark?”

Has your character ever left their home planet? When? If not, do they want to? What (if anything) do they like about their current planet? What (if anything) do they hate?

at a young age parisa left ponos for the first time -- a trip with her father to sennt for business. a trip that, in the grand scheme of things, was a drop in the hat for parisa. no big deal. nothing that made any difference because -- for a family that had money -- it became one of many, an occurrence that was as common or as infrequent as her parents wanted it to be.

it wasn’t until parisa began her political career that she left her home planet in a more permanent fashion. a change that parisa found refreshing, one that was necessary, but one that wasn’t done because she disliked where she came from. on the contrary, parisa loved her home. while she knew that ponos (as well as the royal family -- of which she was vaguely apart of -- itself) was an example of what was wrong with the political system, she also couldn’t deny that she loved the culture and the people. she wouldn’t ignore what needed to be changed (she’d grow to make a career out of it after all), but she also wouldn’t pretend the good didn’t exist either.

What does your character think about the state of politics in the galaxy right now?

parisa is very vocal that that system needs to change. that the divide is too large and something needs to be done to close it. the old methods no longer work and something needs to be done and it needs to be done now. she has ideas (she has a lot of them) and she’ll tell whoever asks (and whoever doesn’t ask) what they are.

she’s very aware that there are those who disagree with her (and others that think poorly of her for those opinions particularly given her own background) but, quite frankly, parisa doesn’t care. at all. in fact she takes a certain amount of satisfaction getting those reactions -- it’s almost a sport for her.

What does your character like most and least about themselves?

to heard parisa tell it, it would seem as though she loves everything about herself and that she has no faults to speak of. a side effect of the confidence that she projects (or arrogance as some would call it) though still not entirely the truth.

parisa does like that she has the ability to speak her mind (something she claims is due to not caring -- not entirely true however) and that she’s able to stick by her morals. while she can’t claim that her morals are necessarily the right ones she does stick by them, which she believes has to count for something.

on the other hand parisa doesn’t like her own inability to let others get too close. that she has a fear of someone seeing who she really is and leaving what they do (or worse wanting to change what they find). she also hates that she lacks the ability to deal with her own personal problems head on. the problems of others? perfectly fine. political issues? absolutely, toss them at her. her own? no, hand her a bottle of wine or two first and then maybe she’ll try to sort it out in the morning.

victor m. perdomo

Has your character ever left their home planet? When? 

victor was raised on viha and joined the military when he came of age. he was stationed off-planet for various training exercises throughout his career, as well as for a few other long-term assignments. somewhere in his twenties, he was called back to the planet, but abandoned his post soon after, leaving for good. 

What (if anything) do they like about their current planet? What (if anything) do they hate?

at the moment, he lives on sannt with kauri parata. frankly, the two of them could have gone anywhere and he would’ve been happy. as with any other location, corruption permeates everything, and despite the heavier military presence, victor doesn’t find himself too concerned; if anything, it just means there’s more work to be done.

SABINE ISHIKAWA. 30 / opportunist / luxuria. heiress to a crime family that specializes in smuggling black market items throughout the galaxy. as charming as she is cutthroat.

[tanglelegs]

valencia paz

31. luxuria. black market cybernetics specialist.

born in a bad way, the youngest of three sisters

had every intention of clawing her way up out of poverty same as the eldest, although with less of the abandoning-the-family-name shenanigans

rip, sidetracked by family drama, dropped out of university to deal with shit she really should have been selfish enough to categorize as “not her problem”

spoiler alert : she’s a bleeding heart, that will never happen ever

compromised on her morals education and took up work on the black market installing illegal cybernetics to make ends meet in the meantime

realized it’s really very profitable work and has also given her the chance to help some people who could not get help otherwise

decided not to quit because why school loans and the struggle of being taken seriously when she’s already got this working for her?

also maybe lowkey felt like a failure of a med student, has terrible imposter syndrome, and is avoiding facing the possibility of actual, tangible failure but that’s not something we talk about ok

is now highkey falling for a patient, like head over heels tumbling out of control even though he’s way out of her league, but we don’t talk about that either o k

halifax always dreamed of escaping viha’s desolate landscape. as a small child, he’d dream of exploring lush, green forests, rolling down hills of soft grass. but his favorite dream was always the one where he free-floated among the stars, able to see viha as nothing more than a speck. perhaps it was more the idea of total freedom that hal yearned for, but he knew the only way to escape would be conscription. it took nineteen long years, but eventually he made it off viha, packed like a sardine among other baby-faced soldiers, each a mix of nerves and excitement.

the other planets were everything hal had ever dreamed of and more. and each planet he visited left him wanting more. his favorite, though, was probably eud. the crisp, fresh air filling his lungs for the first time had filled him with a sense of...peace. like coming home for the first time.

although hal doesn’t claim to live on any one planet anymore, preferring the comfort of his starship, when asked, he often refers to eud as his home, though he owns no land or home there.

d e b o r a h  n o x

What does your character like most and least about themselves? Delilah likes her resilience to weak hearts and emotional manipulation. She dislikes the idea that she might be getting manipulated by the system in every other way and refuses to Look At It

Has your character ever left their home planet? When? If not, do they want to? What (if anything) do they like about their current planet? What (if anything) do they hate? She has indeed, and has been to every planet available throughout her life. She likes the way things are run on her planet (kind of), it’s all very neat. She hates the terrain, though. It’s ugly. What is the easiest way to make your character angry? Get right in her personal space/touch her without permission. try me btich!! What is your character’s opinion of the stack and/or the Framework? She has been taught not to question, and so thinks stacks are necessary part of life (why shouldn’t they be?) The Framework is used a lot for contact with her Handler and other Deus Ships for meetings, but other than that she isn’t fond of it as a concept; she hates the idea that she might exist after she dies within it (and is actually also irrationally afraid she will KNOW she is trapped in the Framework. but she’s not told anyone that)
