Basic Information Name: Pandora (Violet) Age: 30 Gender: Female Race: Slime Person Blood Type: Slime Jelly General Occupational Roles Detective Security Officer Spelunker (Shaft Miner) Assistant Biography Pandora was born into the midst of Xarxis 5's industrialization, into one of many newly-built cities on the planet's surface. For reasons now lost, her and her sister, Skoll, were left behind at a fairly young age as the rest of the tribe that had brought them into the city moved on to elsewhere. The duo managed to fend for themselves in the city's underbelly for some years before stowing away on a spacebound vessel, where they would be discovered and left at a nearby station to be later discovered by the Ebony Saber, a mercenary vessel, as it stopped for supplies. The crew of the Ebony Saber quickly took to the slime duo, teaching them lessons their upbringing on Xarxis missed and helping them to learn common - with the side effect of their teacher's thick accent imprinting on them. As they were the only slimes aboard, however, their bubblish names were unwieldy for the rest of the crew to use and, as such, they were given their names - hence Pandora's atypical human name. The Ebony Saber's mission, headed by its captain Caden 'Ahab' Shea, was to take down a prominent (at the time) robotics company, Phoenix Industries, for reasons not relevant to this file. Once the company was toppled, the crew of the Saber, for the most part, dispersed. Caden turned to his childhood ambitions of forming a robotics company of his own, Fafnir Experimental Positronics. Without anywhere else to turn, Pandora and her sister assisted their old captain in his new venture. However, while Skoll was experienced with engineering due to her time on the Saber, Pandora's expertise in investigation did not convert easily to working with a smaller corporation, and so she found herself searching for employment in Nanotrasen.

Were it not for her bluish-white gel, she might be mistaken for a human. Flecks of basalt ash are embedded throughout her gel, giving an appearance similar to freckles - especially in a thick band across her face. Her gel and everything she handles frequently carries a faint smell of fruit and campfire smoke. Other Personal Relations Skoll - "M'sister. Far smarter'n me, but could drop th' coffee habit.."

First Name: Tao / Yin / Yang (This format will be used for the rest of the bio and explained later :p) Last Name: N/A Gender: None / Female / Male Orientation: N/A Nicknames/Alias: Three (by other TAO-line IPCs) Picture: (Sketch by Serinuku on discord - Tao's chassis has antennae in game, and the white/black display is more formless) Age/D.O.B: 18 Place Of Birth: Fafnir Experimental Positronics HQ Species: IPC Blood Type: N/A Alignment: Neutral Good / Lawful Good / Chaotic Good Affiliation: Fafnir Positronics and NT Religious Beliefs: Tao's feelings on religion are muddled, both as a collective and individually. They are spiritual, however, and will refuse to invoke the name of gods like Nar'Sie, among other things. Childhood: Tao was raised by researchers and other figures at Fafnir Positronics' headquarters, as part of a still-ongoing project to study the psychology of 'dichotomies' - IPCs with a specially-designed posibrain that hosts two consciousnesses and allows them to share control over the chassis. These systems are called 'dichotomies' as the constituent parts - in this case, Yin and Yang - are opposed or part of a matching set in some way or another. For Tao, as can be assumed by name(s), their constituent parts model the concepts of Yin and Yang; or, passivity and activity. Adulthood: Currently, Tao is contracted with NT to spend time aboard their stations and, occasionally, work odd jobs in service, so that Fafnir Positronics can gather data on how they perform outside of a controlled environment. Original testing was also planned to separate Yin and Yang, placing them in different chassis, but this has been postponed indefinitely following an incident with one of Tao's predecessors. Detailed Information Appearance: Tao has an average-height - for humans - chassis, with a silver paint coloration and normal antennae, mostly for decoration. There's a logo impressed into the back of their head, depicting Fafnir Experimental Positronics' logo, and their screen shows two mostly-formless black and white masses, which swirl about each other. These masses show the control Tao's constituents are exerting: in a case where both are balanced, but Tao as a whole isn't stressed, they'll swirl lazily. If they're both stressed, and in balance, they'll swirl more chaotically, and one mass will overtake the other - leaving a dot of the opposite color in the middle of an otherwise black/white screen - if Tao falls out of balance. Character Voice: Tao speaks with a neutral, gender-ambiguous tone, although it seems to harmonize very slightly with itself. If they fall out of balance with Yin in control, their voice becomes more feminine and softer-spoken, with an occasional stutter, and if Yang comes into power their voice raises in volume but lowers in pitch, becoming more akin to a boisterous male's. Personality: As a whole, Tao is a generally calm person. They offer bits and pieces of advice which can come off as wise or esoteric, at times, and they occasionally fall into lapses of silence as they consider something internally. They're fairly difficult to catch off-guard - at least, visibly - and tend to go with whatever whoever they're with's doing. Medical Record: N/A Character Biography Background: Tao was raised by Fafnir Positronics' researchers and staff, which is where they developed a taste for old Sol literature and mythology, aligning their interests with that of the staff. Most of Tao's background was covered in the childhood/adulthood sections earlier. Family: Tao's family is the TAO-X line of IPCs, as well as some of the people who raised them. On-station, this means Caden 'Ahab' Shea and TAO-5. History: Tao's lived in Fafnir space for most of their life, and is now on NT station(s) to get new experiences and, recently, speak to friends made aboard these stations. A more detailed history - as above - was covered in their childhood/adulthood sections. Personal Relationships Caden 'Ahab' Shea - "He raised us! But.. we feel like we're missing something, just beyond the surface.." ARMA-993 - "It's Arma! One of the first people we met in NT space. They seem a little off-balance, but we're helping. We think." Iota - "We aren't sure what's up with her, yet, but it's always nice to see her regardless. It's a little hard to talk philosophy with her, though." P.U.R.P.L.E - "Stop trying to brush it off. Forgiveness won't come that easily." Sandpainter Despite Cadraenov-A - "We really need to speak to her more, if only we got the same shifts.." (I probably forgot a bunch of people - feel free to ping me on discord, and I'll add your character to here, if I can remember how they and Tao interacted :p) Admire | Respected | Close Friend | Good Friend | Friend | Acquaintance | Neutral/Unsure | Dislike | Fear Faction Relations Fafnir Experimental Positronics - "Our home! It's not a particularly large company, relatively, but it's home regardless." NanoTrasen - "We work here, and have met great people, but.. it's hard to trust a company that big." The Syndicate - "Violence isn't always the answer.." Synthetic Union - "We really should visit sometime." (All other factions are either neutral or Tao doesn't know enough to form an opinion.)

Name: Azure (Previous Designation: N.M.R.U. 9) Age: 23 Gender: Female Race: IPC Blood Type: N/A General Occupational Role(s): - Chief Medical Officer - Paramedic - Virologist - Medical Doctor Biography: In their Sisyphean quest to reduce expenses, Nanotrasen prototyped a series of IPC medical and engineering response teams, in the hopes to phase out their humanoid, expensive counterparts. The project had been mildly successful, and to give their engineers field data, Nanotrasen constructed a vessel specifically for this project: the NRV Daedalus. Azure, then known as Nanotrasen Medical Response Unit 9 (or N.M.R.U. 9), was one of the Daedalus' medical units. She was held in high regards by the engineers overseeing the project and Nanotrasen in general due to her displays of competency, although her only training was Nanotrasen's basics and the mentoring of other doctors, leaving her without a proper degree. The only mark on her otherwise-golden record would be her tendency to stray towards the engineering department of the Daedalus. She would work alongside and generally spend time with one of the engineering units - N.E.R.U. 8 - when the Daedalus wasn't treating patients. The NRV Daedalus was called to respond to a terror spider outbreak. The request for support had implied that only cleanup was required; that the vessel had eradicated the spiders. The red terror spider that greeted the Daedalus upon boarding proved that wrong immediately and, after a messy conflict, the Daedalus was wiped out and the original vessel's nuclear self-destruct was activated by an unknown entity. Through some miracle, or perhaps divine intervention, Azure's posibrain was recovered from the irradiated wreckage of the Daedalus. In a much unluckier turn of events, USSP scrappers had found it rather than a Nanotrasen team. She eventually made her way back to Nanotrasen space with a new identity and language learned, and after a few months of clearing up her legally dead status, returned to work. She generally works with medical teams aboard stations and bases and had an easy application into the CMO position due to her previous displays of aptitude aboard the Daedalus. Qualifications: - Nanotrasen basic medical training Employment Records: N.M.R.U. 9 (Nanotrasen Medical Response Unit) was previously stationed onboard the NRV Daedalus. Following the Daedalus's nuclear self-destruction after a failed support mission, she was found by USSP scrappers and repaired. She returned to Nanotrasen after 3-6 years among the USSP's ranks. Note: After her recovery, N.M.R.U. 9 intentionally does not respond to her name, instead going by the nickname 'Azure.' The reasoning behind this is unclear, but is presumed to be because of the USSP's policies towards synthetics. Note 2: Recently spent 2-3 months aboard the NRV Savior as a first responder. Security Records: N.M.R.U. 9 has acted with good behavior, besides minor SoP breaches during her time aboard the NRV Daedalus - namely, her tendencies to leave the medical department, presumably to speak with N.E.R.U. 8, another response unit deployed to the NRV Daedalus. Note: As of her deployment to the NSS Cyberiad following the catastrophic events aboard the Daedalus and her time in the USSP, no notable criminal activity has been recorded. Additionally, she refuses to respond to her designation, instead opting to use the nickname 'Azure.' Medical Records: N.M.R.U. 9 was reconstructed by the USSP after a catastrophic event (see employment records for more information). As such, internal wiring and component placement may not meet Nanotrasen standards. Note: After her return from the USSP, N.M.R.U. 9 will only respond to the nickname 'Azure.' Speculated reasoning for this change is contained within her employment records; please contact someone with access to these if this information becomes necessary for a psychological evaluation. Personnel Photo (Appearance text): Azure stands at exactly 6'0, with azure-colored, short hair and darker blue antennae. They have a lime stripe around their base to designate her first-responder capabilities, although she usually tries to hide them with a beret or hood. She speaks with a light Russian accent and tends to cover as much 'skin' as possible, constantly adjusting her gloves, mask, or jumpsuit in an attempt to hide her synthetic nature. Other Notes: Azure has a Zeng-Hu pharmaceuticals chassis, designed to be as human-like as possible. It's relatively difficult to tell she's a synthetic without catching her charging or in robotics, although her ID and records make this act irrelevant to anyone who's observant.
