Characters: (Added as they appear.)

Our Protagonist/Anti-Hero, the Swabbie.

The Swabbie...what can be said about him?  As much as an enigma to those around him as he is to himself; the Swabbie grew up on a small farming settlement on Earth.  Since his conception, Swabbie has been blessed and cursed with the brand of a near all-powerful organization.  As the bearer of this brand, a barcode tattoo on the back of his neck, Swabbie is occasionally subject to mind control.  During these periods of times, the group will make choices for him, in a process similar to hypnosis, causing him to act in manners that often wouldn't be in his best interests or true to his nature.

Normally, Swabbie is a rather calm, possessing a great degree of kindness and understanding for others, though he speaks his mind freely and will honestly tell anyone exactly how he feels in a situation.  No matter what the other speaker's position might be.  Beyond people skills though, the Swabbie really has nothing else going for him.

Having spent all but the last year of his life on a farm; Swabbie's work skills come down to cleaning, taking care of animals and how to grow, find and identify edible vegetables and fruits.  Leaving him, in many situations, border-line useless out in space.  Still, Swabbie is a fast-learner and can pick up other trades given training and enough time; though, by his own admission, he could never understand how to pilot a ship as he isn't mathematically minded enough to do so.

The Swabbie, properly named and outfitted.

Faulkner, our Antagonist

Ozwricks, like Faulkner, are a bio-engineered species hailing from the planet Septium Maaj, which is orbited by the micro planet: Oz.  These creatures were created by the cunning scientific species, Luyave, who had been needing a form of foot-soldiers for any wars that happened to occur.  So the Ozwricks were born.  Originally kept controlled through a variety of collars, injections and beatings; the Ozwricks were enslaved for nearly five hundred years before the Luyave race was forced to surrender during the Human Exodus War.  Under the new laws, the Ozwricks were identified as a unique species and given full rights of citizenship.

Still, the race's numbers are dwindling as most are sterile, though one in every ten have the capability of producing viable semen or eggs.  Faulkner is one of these.  As his species has slowly gone to the edge of endangerment, Faulkner's ego and rage have grown greatly.  Already mentally unstable due to his mixed genetic code; the Ozwrick's hatred of other races' ability to reproduce boiled over.  Especially envious of the human reproductive system; he is riding a wave of human hate in various species to rally a xenocide against them as a pirate.

Originally just an arm's expert on 'The Thespian' Faulkner is 'programmed' with a wide range of combat capabilities.  His size, strength and speed generally giving him the advantage in most fights and when that doesn't; he knows just what weapon to use against what person for optimal effect.  In short, Faulkner is one of the most perfect 'organic' killing machines in existence.

Grand Master Douche: Garrus

Garrus, the ships pilot and go to guy for all things related to technology.  Despite being obnoxious and short-tempered, the pilot means well with those around him going so far as to cultivate a relationship with Nathan.  His general lack of interest and selfishness stems from his belief that life really holds no meaning, to him life is just as a free-for-all and that there is no point in attempting to do more than get by.  Negative and often times over-bearing, Garrus acts as a foil to Nathan, finding himself as the brunt of jokes and often the receiver of any anger that the Captain has to put out.

Recently, in a discussion with Tesla, Garrus revealed that he was educated on Thoth.  Thoth being a planet where only the most prestigious minds in the galaxy are accepted, in conjunction with have the most exuberant tuition fees in existence.  Tesla now questions Garrus's background and wonders what all he is hiding from the crew; however, because of the detonation device implanted on his tongue, no one can pry.  As a pilot though, they all know there are few more skilled than he is and won't be trying to replace him anytime soon.

Princess Tesla, definitely not the shy type.

Tesla Oracon:  A princess to her race, the Yor'zvin, Tesla shows almost all of their traits and expresses a natural curiosity for most cultures outside of her own.  On her homeworld, she was sheltered due to her Father's fear of her being dominated by one of the many suitors that Yor'zvin's society proceeded.  There, courtship is not decided through romantic means, but in a survivalist function of the strong have the right to choose where the weak do not.  As a result, Tesla is at peak physical condition and a highly trained combatant as to ward off any weak men who would try to win her.  Currently the only member of the crew with any combat experience, Tesla's curiosity and high libido put her at odds with Lily as they both have their eyes set on Nathan.

The red-headed princess has already proven her combat expertise to Garrus having beaten him after the male threatened to kill her; however, as a true insult in her culture, she refused to subjugate him beneath her. This essentially confirmed her opinion of Garrus as less than trash, she has also revealed a willingness to share Nathan with Lily if only to make the male happy.  Due her culture, seeing as Nathan saved her life, she is willing to serve him and do anything he asks; however, she has not revealed his fact to Nathan as of yet, nor has Garrus who seems to know more about her than he lets on.

The Shy one: Lily

Lily:  Lily has no true last name, the female was adopted from the streets when she was around eight years old by the former captain of the Thespian.  Since then, the female has served as a cook and medic aboard the ship having been taught by both of serving members prior to the Fulkner mutiny.  As of now, Lily is trapped in grief, having lost the only man who had ever showed her any compassion in life beyond Nathan.  Due to this, she had transmitted all of her emotions onto her current Captain and attempted to make him a lover to replace the father in her life.  While shy and extremely introverted, the female's grief allowed her to over come this and engage in sexual activity with Nathan as a way of forgetting about the pain for a while.
