Biography: Born on a Colony seeking to emulate Old Terra as closely as possible, Faustius ( or Fausty as his friends oft refer to him ) was born into a family with a long line of duelists and warriors poets. The hairstyle he has is actually something that has been handed down by the Leader of the Maximus family since before humanity was forced to abandon the home world. Raised and trained from a young age in Bushido, prose, mathematics, physics, theology, philosophy & perceptual awareness; His family's legacy was deeply ingrained into the young Faust's psyche from an early age. Unfortunately all was not as it seemed on the Colony world they lived on and tragically the colony was lost during the last years of the wars that ravaged humanity due to Viro-bombardment from rogue Terra factions. Narrowly escaping with his life, due to his Mothers quick thinking and the Machine person Faust had created during his mentor ship at the colony learning facilities, named MALPHY. ( a archaic and beaten down Hephaestus model reprogrammed to be the young mans mentor and caretaker) Malphy and Faust managed to evade the blockade and ravagers to make it to neutral space. This took 5 years to accomplish, and in this time he spent untold hours perfecting his studies. As if by fate, or perhaps a cruel joke of life, Faustius and Malphy were marooned on a abandoned mining facility when their ship encountered a hyper localized gravitation anomaly and they best they could hope to achieve was to use the last of their fuel reserves to hurl themselves at the closest body of gravity to escape the grav-wake. With supplies running low and against Faust's wishes, Malphy initiated a bluespace distress beacon which was still hidden within his chassis. In approximately a standard Terran week, a NT salvage crew had docked their ship in orbit around the abandoned mining facilities asteroid. The hails of the NT salvage crew went unanswered, as due to lack of power & C02 scrubbers within the last 12 hours had rendered both Malphy and Faust incapacitated. Emaciated and half mad, Faust awoke in a crisp and sterile medical room with a very perplexed med-tech peering into their eyes looking for any sign of sanity. Feebly begging as to the location and status of his only friend for the past 5 years, the med-tech decided for the patients health to sedate the young man until they rendezvoused with the Mining Mother ship. This took approximately three months as the mining craft lacked bluespace translocation tech as it was an older pre war ship. Upon awaking again, Faust discovered that he was now on a Space Station, for a corporate entity referring to itself as Nanotrasen Co. He very rapidly was informed that this was their main transfer and communications hub in this region and that if he hoped to live here he would have to pull his own weight. Despite begging as to the location or status of Malphy all requests were denied until he agreed to serve for a 3 year tour of duty on their research and mining station NSS Cyberiad.  Once the nebulous contract had been signed, the "recruiter" if one can even call them such informed him that Malphy had been wiped and re-purposed and sent to the NSS Cyberiad well in advance of him and was already productively creating profit for the corporation. Infuriated that his only link to home and family had been mindwiped, Faust nearly killed the recruiter. Throwing them across the table and strangling them until sec ops had removed him from the situation. Faust once again awoke, but in a different situation. This time a very angry and formal Central Command representative, of the name Matthew Crysten advised him that because of his prior actions and assault upon a member of the Central Command recruiting staff that he (Faust) was narrowly avoiding being send to permanent indentured servitude as a conscript miner. Officer Crysten further elaborated that if Faustius refused to conform and comply that He, and all he holds dear would very rapidly find itself on the wrong side of a matter de-compiler. Begrudgingly Faust agreed to serve his tour of duty for the next three years, secretly praying and hoping that he would be re-united with his old friend, mentor, & child (due to Faustius making the IPC functional) Malphy. This turn of events left him loathe to appreciate much less willingly serve as some lickspittle lackey for the NT CORP dogs. That being said Faustius has at times found himself at odds with his desires, as he meets new and unique individuals and races on the NSS Cyberiad. While his Anti-NT sentiments have never truly faded, he is starting to learn that in fact many of his fellow crew members hold much the same feelings in regards to their "employer" as he does. 

 

Qualifications: Basic mechanical theory and maintenance. Entry level Scientific principals. Advanced combat and take down methods. Advanced Social studies and philosophy. Certified viable as Cargo Technician, Paramedic, Security officer, and several Command positions when the needs of the crew demand someone step forward and assist. 

 

Employment Records: Various and extensive. Has never been employed as CE, CMO, RD (except one time where he was blackmailed by a rival corporation to cause chaos). Typically refuses to serve as HOS or Warden, though given the proper circumstances would step forward to help save and assist people he cares about. 

 

Security Records: Various reports of defamation, graffiti, subversion, assault and reports of outright replacement by changelings and vampires. Many of these are unable to be verified due to the nature of the NSS Cyberiad and its oft much to be desired to be improved record system. At this time his name is cleared and approved for most general crew manifests due to His still being in existence after said blue space demons were eradicated or driven away. It should be noted, there are many records of potential collaboration and conscription by various enemies of the corporation however evidence for these activities has yet to be forthcoming, notwithstanding the sudden unexplained deaths or disappearances of witnesses to these possible violations. He is also known to dabble and collect in ancient lore and literature. He is a self professed Occult Obsessive, being attracted like a moth to a flame to any Mysticism or Magical phenomenon.  

 

Medical Records: By and far a healthy male human of a young age. However their mental stability is at best sub optimal. Faustius has many triggers from his time with Malphy living from meal to meal from salvage to salvage for 5 years. In addition to this he has a very STRONG aversion to Nanotrasen corporation as they have essentially enslaved him through emotional, physical & economic manipulation. He is also noted as having a strong affinity to whiskey, and a shameless lech and flirt. They often profess a desire for love and companionship despite the Cyberiads glaring lack of Bleeding Hearts & Poet Warriors.
