Life in the Stars

Characters


Jonas

Name: Jonas Height: 6' 6" Theme Song(s): Master of Puppets - Metallica
Hell March2 - C&C: Red Alert 2 Appearance: A looming figure, he is usually dressed like a country's leader; the whole formal suit look. He likes blue ties, but that's the only color he wears. He'll usually accentuate his looming figure with dark attire, making him seem very intimidating. Info: He is the leader, and owner, of Neona, the country in orbit around the moon. He ordered the firing of a Naquadria bomb at Africa as a demonstration of his power, and uses the threat of these super bombs as intimidation to keep the earth from rebelling. (However, he has conluded that using these bombs would be necessary in the case of total war only, but the Earth doesn't know that.) The hundreds of "odd" shipments to the colony were military equipment mostly, and the colony went from life-sustaining area to a military stronghold, with defenses systems and high-power lasers with a margin of error only 5 inches wide. This means that from orbit around the moon, you can shoot anything on earth within a 5-inch circle. Assasination tool? You bet. Jonas is a shadowy figure and little is known about his past. He appeared when the European Space Agency needed funds, and made a deal to buy their space station. He has only one person close to him, a female named Clara, of whom equally little is known. ------------------------------

Ken

Shiva

Name: Shiva Vilmaris Name Meaning: Hindu god of cycles and revolution; protector from the sea Gender: Female Age: 20 Race: Terran, but she belongs to a group called the Earthians that accepts both Terran and Neonian society, so she identifies herself as Earthian. Occupation: Bodyguard, currently assigned to Jonas If She Had a Theme Song, It Would Be: "One Girl Revolution" by Superchic[k] Appearance: Shiva is about 5'5" tall, unless you count the tall shoes she wears as part of her height. If you do, then she stands at 5'7" or 5'8". She has rather unique looks due to her heritage. (Her father was Indian and her mother was Japanese.) The result is a complexion that is the color of coffee with a LOT of milk in it( if you wanted to be poetic, you could call it cafe-au-lait) and almond-shaped, green eyes. Somehow, blonde hair made its way into her genes, but no one's quite sure how it got there. Her hairstyle varies depending on how she feels; she usually keeps her hair up in two sloppy pigtails on the top of her head, but occasionally she wears them in two loose braids or even just leaves it long. Her clothes vary from day to day, of course, but since she's become a bodyguard she's become much more comfortable with how she looks. She's particularly proud of her abs, so a lot of the clothing she wears shows off her stomach. Her favorite outfit consists of a pale blue, sleeveless, Chinese-style top that ends just under her chest paired with jade-green, extremely baggy cargo pants. Navy blue sneakers with 2" or 3" soles complete her ensemble, and sometimes she wears a navy blue jacket along with it. Luckily for her, she doesn't have to worry about exposing any vital organs, because all bodyguards who work for Jonas are equipped with an invisible set of body armor. Personality: Generally bright, optimistic, and sunny, Shiva is a fairly positive girl. She often does things to cheer others up. She enjoys her job a lot because she's helping someone and she's keeping in shape. Sometimes she doesn't like the part of her job that requires her to hurt others, but she does her best to handle it and only hurt people when necessary. There is another, more introspective side of her that is rarely seen; this is the part that recognizes the negative things in life and is more serious as well. She doesn't care much for being solemn, but she will be if it's needed to get the job done. Likes: music; dancing; being happy; the cool gadgets she gets for working as a bodyguard; her hoverboard Dislikes: discrimination against Terrans or Neonians; death Hobbies: DDR; hoverboarding; listening to music Special Equipment: Shiva's most precious possession is her blue-green hoverboard. It's a new form of transportation much like a skateboard, except it relies on a low-power gravitational neutralizer to allow the user to, well, hover. Shiva is quite proud of her riding skills with her board and uses it whenever she has the chance. The most important piece of equipment she owns is the bodyguard armor supplied to her by Jonas' company. It's invisible in order to make her look more like a regular citizen than a bodyguard, which is designed to make possible assassins less likely to consider her a threat. While it is a fairly good set of armor, it is somewhat weakened in the process of making it invisible. It is not impervious and does not make her invincible, but it does reduce the effects of attacks against her. Occasionally she will receive other gadgets from her employers if it is necessary, but at the current time she has none ------------------------------

"Zack"

[Name] Unknown [Name used] Zack [Race] Neonan [Height] Unknown [Weight] Unknown [Occupation] Bodyguard/Assassin [Previous Occupations/Titles] 5th Dan in Ishin-ryu, 7th Dan in Kung Fu, 4th Dan in Tai-Kwan-Do, 6th Dan in Jeet Kune Do, 9th Dan in Kenjutsu. Lieutenant Commander of Dev Group (Essentially the Navy's version of Delta Force) and Sergeant in the Army's Rangers [Weaponry] Disciplined in most martial weapons of the Eastern and Western type as well as unarmed combat and modern ranged weaponry. This bodyguard/assassin was inspired by an insurgency mission in Brazil where they helped a village defend against mercenaries hired by logging companies. Zack started to become less consuming about how he did his work, becoming a sniper and martial artist where he consumed little to nothing while fighting. Eventually he quit and went mercenary until he meet Jonas, a radical like himself. Jonas eventually offered him a job after assassinating a few high ranking execs at the same logging company that attacked the village so many years before. [Equipment] Zack always carries two daggers and a USP Compact pistol in a tactical drop-hip holster with two extra clips (10 rd clips) [Appearance] Varies depending on his role, from a black night suit to standard marine camoflauge to a sharp black tux. He prefers when allowed, however, to wear Knee-zip black cargo pants (the ones that change into shorts with a zipper at the knees) with a wife-beater underneath a long-sleeve white shirt with the symbol for Omega in black and crimson on the back of the shirt (which tells a story in and of itself) and a black leather trench coat to match ------------------------------
