More detail of the non-player characters of the ISC Phoenix. (Drawn by the wonderful FoxTrot)

John Morris

“Do you think I spent all that time in the shuttle wanking or playing with that paddleball? I went out and got equipped. I had to spend my money on something other than porn, y'know.”

Appearance: John has very, very messy, curly brown hair with a goatee. He takes no effort to tame his wild hair. His eyes are a shade of turquoise and his skin is a bit pale. He is usually seen wearing dull colours, navy pants, a burgundy jumper over a tan shirt with a black pair of boots and a pair of sunglasses.

Information: The Pilot of the ISC Phoenix. A professional pilot and repairman, can fix any problem related to shuttles or starships.

Melissa Jones

“Construction -” She said as she brandished her crowbar, then swapped it for the massive GP-1 over her shoulder, pointing it to a vultre perched on the fence on the other end of the yard and turning it into a cloud of red mist and feathers with a loud BLAM!! “And long distance combat.”

Appearance: She is roughly 5“9', has black, long hair tied in a ponytail and a fair complexion with blue eyes and a small nose to compliment the look. However, seeing her eyes was a challenge for she was wearing a pair of blue tinted goggles, and a nice pair of C's. She was wearing a brown leather jacket over a white tank top and khakis with a pair of ankle-length leather boots. A messenger's bag could be seen slung over her right shoulder and a rifle of sorts and a .45 in a holster.

Information: The Phoenix team's spotter and sniper. A Delsaurian woman with a very heavy accent. Her rifle is a modified Styrling Longbolt with a large scope, made to function like a giant revolver, and neon dark blue lines running down the barrel.

She also wears a black baseball cap with the Phoenix pentagon logo to keep her eyes out of the sun.

Noteworthy Traits

  • Can assist with construction.
  • Versed in long-range combat.
  • Owns a Rifle-Revolver-Railgun Hybrid thing, takes 7.62mm ammo.
  • Refers to every other person as “Wanker!”
  • Used to be a Big Game Hunter on Delsauria.
  • Ran away from home when she was a kid.

Allison Kelly

“It can't take any more!”

Appearance: A red-haired Yamataian girl with freckles and green eyes. She wears her hair ruffled and with a ponytail. Her Yamataian body belies her Nepleslian heritage and mannerisms, being coarse and abrasive but still excellent in her field.

She keeps the lower half of her orange-panelled Yamataian uniform worn, and keeps it up at the belt by suspenders over a white tank top. She keeps a datapad on a bracket on the back suspenders. She also keeps a well stocked toolbelt on, particularly a large monkey wrench with a red stain on the business end; and fights with a taped up, battered Paragon IAW she found in a surplus cache.

Information: A former Itto-Hei in the Yamataian Star Army, but she dropped out in favour of joining the crew on their adventures, saying that they “Seem cool enough.” She appears to be able to hold her own in a fight, and knows her way around Yamataian weapon, armour, robot and ship designs.

Noteworthy Traits

  • A ship technician.
  • Prefers to be in space rather than on land.
  • A definite Ladette. (A teenage girl with teenage guy's drinking/partying/eating/sleeping habits)
  • Also does some of the ship's cybernetics work, including Zeta's Piston Fist.
  • Best friends with Echelon.

Echelon

“Here I am.”

Appearance: It appears to be a large, feminine humanoid robot at least eight feet tall and weighing a tonne, with a large spherical area in the hips/belly area. Its right shoulder had a "Finagle's Revenge" Recoilless Rifle protruding from it, with wires and connections to load and fire it properly. Its hands had two fingers and an opposable thumb-claw. It also had a compliment of thrusters around its body, allowing it to move around in zero gravity environs, or climb short distances.

A single, glowing red eye on the head provided sight, but the effect was very unnerving. For some reason, a rainbow pattern scarf was draped around it's neck, along with childish scribbles and glyphs of Freespacer 'heraldry'.

Currently, she currently inhabits a suit of powered armour as a body. The helmet has been replaced by a cyclopean red eye that has holographic capabilities usually displaying a picture of an emoticon depending on her mood. ( :) D: >:I O_O ZOMG <3 ect.), and the big Fingale's Revenge rifle she keeps on her back. She recently was given a sense of touch in this artificial body (long story), and enjoys it immensely.

Information: Originally a civilian Freespacer killed during the Genocide at the Great Lighthouse, she took up arms as a mercenary with nowhere else to go. She caught a ride with the ISC Phoenix by hijacking their computer systems as they flew by. Not faltered by the attack, Luca talked her out of it, and she retreated to a suit of armour. She used that suit as her main means of having a 'body'. She eventually got one during the conclusion of Mission 7, and she knows how to hop from uninhabited armour to uninhabited armour.

Noteworthy Traits

  • Freespacer Refugee from the Great Lighthouse.
  • May or may not be a Sniper.
  • An excellent hacker.
  • Lives in a suit of armour that has a sense of touch.
  • Best friends with Allison.

Appearance: She was about 5'7”, long blonde hair, black eyes with a B cup. Her face was weathered with years of construction behind her belt and a lack of skincare. She was wearing what looked like some serious construction kit. Overalls, a Hard Hat with am <N> symbol on it, Tough boots, Gloves and a massive monkey wrench clasped to her right hand.

Appearance: Yuki is an old, and scarred Nekovalkyrja - physically, mentally, and in the very soul of being. Her body was lithe, and athletic as most Nekovalkyrja were, but she seemed more motherly, with wide hips and B-cupped breasts. All of this was outlined with her black bodysuit, and broken up by long bangs of curly blonde hair. She had a veritable amount of weapons and ammo hanging from her, including a pair of HHG's, a M'Cel grenade launcher with some powerful grenades, including antimatter yield, and a Katana over her back.

Once he met the the vagabond, it wasn't very long before he was dragged into one of Enzo's scheming plots. By the time he realized what fate had befallen him, it was too late. Enzo left Drift all of his money and his favored possesion, an old airbike which he had spent his entire life saving up to modify.

Appearance: Her figure came into view more clearly, showing she was wearing a Mindy Armour. Half of it had gone missing, completely ruined. Her right arm was regenerating steadily. Her face could be seen clearly: Her neat white/blue ponytail had been torn up and transformed into a sick parody. Her eyes, which were a green colour had become bloodshot. Her angular facial features were marred by many lacerations and sores that refused to heal.

She wasn't too pleased at Luca's presence, interrupting her duties, the captain even referring to her as “She-Bitch”.
