Meet the character of this series.
Rakurai (a.k.a. Stryker)
Edenian, Male
1.75 m (5' 9), 145 kg (318 lb.)
Born in: Camineet, Edenia Prime
HAIR COLOUR: No hair
EYE COLOUR: Yellow / Black
QUOTE: Innocence is for children, every heart is an island.
Emotionally destroyed by the death of his mentor and several years later, six friends including Laenia's husband (which he blames himself). He has a strong sense of justice, but after his time on Kitsilano, he'd become tired of fighting the 'good' fight. Bitter and cynical that he can defeat enough wrongs in the world around him.
He went insane for several days after the Dominion attack on his homeworld. After nearly 2 years of self imposed isolation, he eventually gained some expectance for what happened, he was not completely healed from the traumas.
In the past, in times of personal crisis, he always had Laenia as his conscious, and a voice of reason. He chose to be a career pilot as a symbol of being in control of his life. He always wanted to be a hero, and to be famous. Stryker sees Alice as an equal, a kindred spirit.

Wiuen
Edenian, Male
1.84 m (6' 1), 148 kg (324 lb.)
Born in: Scion, Edenia Prime
HAIR COLOUR: No hair
EYE COLOUR: Yellow / Black
QUOTE: I am in the mood for some mischief, who is with me ?
He is a fun-loving guy and known on his homeworld for his lively attitude and horrible jokes (that MRess somehow finds entertaining).
Wiuen often causes trouble and is a mastermind of mischief and pranks. He is an engineering genius and a natural aptitude for problem and puzzle solving. He has a very keen (if not akward) sense of humor and often peppers others with remarks and wry comments that are not always welcomed by those around him. Wiuen is a natural teacher and a good friend.
He has taken a liking to annoying Mouse and trades insults with her all day long.

Alice Sharon Brangwin
Human, Female
1.75 m (5' 9), 58 kg (128 lb.)
Born in: Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Canada
HAIR COLOUR: Red
EYE COLOUR: Green
QUOTE: I hate math. I don't like the idea of beauty being bound by logic.
Alice has an unassuming build, beautiful and lithe body. She is possessed of an incredible loyalty and dedication to both her friends and her duty. Alice has a quiet, gentle spirit ... just an all-round sweet personality. She's intelligent but doesn't flaunt it. She doesn't come across as pushy, more the sort of person who would get to know you at your own speed. Driven by her ambitions, she can be difficult. However, contrary to her cool exterior, she has a difficult time coping with frustration.
Alice appears to be vulnerable and weak, but she is well versed in martial arts, can handle every situation in true warrior form.
As the last surviving triplet, Alice was emotionally destroyed by their loss at the hands of Cardassians and Jem'Hadar. Her parents were hit equally hard and they started to become overprotective of Alice. She tried to run away from her past by being occupied at all times and engaging in dangerous and illegal activities, including stealing weapons of the Maquis. She ran away from home with Mouse and ended up on Betazed when the Dominion attacked and occupied the planet.
Alice is polite, but headstrong in every way. She protects others, and fears losing them and fears being alone. She wishes she could fight the Cardassians and Dominion herself and hates them with a vengeance.

Mouse (real name?)
Vellorian, Female (Alpha Female)
1.78 m (5' 10), 61 kg (135 lb.)
Born on: USS Haida
HAIR COLOUR: Bright orange
EYE COLOUR: Red / Purple
QUOTE: I am chaos and fury incarnate !
With an attitude as fiery as her hair colour, this childhood friend of Alice has got one mean swing. Mouse is a very loud, vulgar, wild, unpredictable, adventurous and playful. At times she becomes outright aggressive and short tempered. As a child she was neglected in her youth, always seeking attention but not receiving it. As a result Mouse started pushing people away from her and swore that she wouldn't need to depend on anyone. Not her mother. Not her father. Not anyone.
She ran away at the age of ten and never looked back. This might explain her egotisical and flamboyant personality. Mouse met Alice when Alice was still griefing the loss of her sisters. They become best friends as they engaged in some questionable activities.
Today, Mouse is not as erratic. Mouse and Alice become trapped on Betazed occupied by the Dominion, when Mouse found an inner need to heal others. After the birth of her sister, her parents reached out to her and started to reconcile with their daughter.

Raymond "Ray" Jaxson Briggs
Human, Male
1.77 m (5' 8), 92 kg (201 lb.)
Born in: Hannatown, Jamaica
HAIR COLOUR: Black
EYE COLOUR: Brown
QUOTE: Dogs always know how to wreck a perfectly bad mood.
Ray grew up mostly on starships. His school's teachers described his as a bright but unmotivated child, who breezed through his classes.
In grade six, Ray's usual tranquil attitude had been pushed too far by a classmate, provoking a fight. The other student had knocked him back, Ray hit his head into a volleyball net pole. His initial head injuries were easily treated, and their were no detectable repercussions from the injury, until one morning, three months later; when Ray had a seizure and collapsed in the kitchen in front of his parents. He was taken to hospital, where the nurse on duty quickly identified an epilepsy. It was treated and permanently removed.
Today, Ray is an irrepressible steady planner and prefers to be organized. Calm and reserved, with a no-nonsense attitude and hates joking around. Ray is a skilled engineer like Lt. Robin Lefler (currenly assigned to the Excalibur) whom he befriended at a surfing tournament held in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka. He talks to her often. He is also a body builder and recently started to take up kick boxing and wrestling.
He is focused and intelligent, yet he still must work hard to keep his marks up and spends much time studying. Ray sometimes has to take on the role of calming Mouse down and restrained and under control, albeit carefully, else she might turn on him. He feels somewhat alienated from Deanne when Mouse is in close proximity. He knows Deanne is still secretly in love with him.

Deanne Elizabeth Sobinski
Human, Female
1.76 m (5' 8), 62 kg (137 lb.)
Born in: Corbeil, Ontario, Canada
HAIR COLOUR: Light blond (Golden)
EYE COLOUR: Brown
QUOTE: If you're scared, just walk behind big sister Deanne.
Deanne was the only kid in the family and the centre of attention. Or she was until her brother came along, where she suddenly became the eldest child facing all the responsibilities and problems that come along with such a position.
She had a normal, happy childhood with her loving (but exhausted) parents. She has one sibling, but her parents felt that she was more than enough. Deanne was a star athlete in school and represented Ontario Under-21s and Canada at Rugby World Cup 2379.
She tends to be anti-social around strangers and it takes a while for her to start trusting another person and even longer to accept them into her circle of friends. Among a huge group of new people, she is very shy. Deanne is self conscious and a little unsure of herself. Once she feels safe and secure she befriends people with unrestrained loyalty.
She is a good friend, with high morals that have been instilled in her by loving parents and a good home-life. Her quiet inner strength and compassion attracts others to her. While she can seem quiet and timid at times, this appearance can be quickly changed to that of a proud, self-assured youth who likes to converse. Deanne does not understand the hatred Mouse still has for her, but she avoids the feral woman as much as possible.
Deanne has to face boyfriend, Starfleet Academy, family, and friend problems along with other dilemmas ... all the while being a constant source of surprise and aggravation to her parents.

Lucida Je Sey Agmenasdu Vonioki (a.k.a. Specky)
Sprite, Female
1.22 m (4' 0), 33 kg (73 lb.)
Born in: Hobro, Denmark
HAIR COLOUR: Chrome / Silver
EYE COLOUR: Variable
QUOTE: Want to see a photo of Alice when she dyed her hair black with bright pink bangs?
Lucida was very sick as a child, constantly taking medicine for her weakening kidney and delicate immune system. No cure could be found and transplants never seemed to work. This rare disorder robbed her of 12 years of her life, mostly confined to her house. Lucida received a gene treatment that included Klingon and Betazoid mitochondria. The procedure worked. She reintegrated with others quickly after making a full recovery and started going to school.
By nature Lucida is kind and affectionate. She is charming, cunning, smart, observant, but impatient and believes in never giving up. She hates it when others make smart sarcastic comments. Lucida often makes an effort to comfort people when they're feeling sad. She is an excellent source for embarrassing stories about her friends. She calls Ray and Stryker "Smiles" because she thinks they frown too much. She is not impressed by their outward gruffness and tends to get a laugh out of them one way or another.
She has a wide knowledge and a love of science. Lucida is one of the best gymnasts on Earth.

MRess
Caitian, Male
1.93 m (6' 1), 66 kg (145 lb.)
Born in: Wolf 424 colony
HAIR COLOUR: Gold / Yellow
EYE COLOUR: Amber
QUOTE: I hate water.
Born to famous Federation diplomats as parents, MRess is the middle child of nine siblings. Plus another twentyseven cousins who he 'bumps' into often.
Cool and full of attitude, he's always talked the talk and been opposed to just about everything. MRess has been on the ins and outs with the group. It is often difficult to understand in his mannerisms and what he's trying to comminicate. He amuses himself with the pursuit of Federation and galactic planetary histories as well as writing of free-form poetry and painting.
He also pursues an interest in anthropology and archaeology, subjects which relate to the histories he studies. MRess has also a strong artistic talent, plus a flair for design and decor. He is not fond of combat, especially not hand to hand. He's not violent by nature, but if pushed into a corner his predatory senses will take over.
He spents a lot of time on his claws though this is supposed to be normal for Caitians. MRess has a probia of fires. His life was saved from a bushfire by another Caitian. By Caitian honour he is debted to Niesahe, bound to her and her 2 year old daughter, Li Mei.

Enzo Sobinski
Human, Male
1.69 m (5' 6), 57 kg (125 lb.)
Born on: USS Haida
HAIR COLOUR: White (bleached)
EYE COLOUR: Green/Brown
QUOTE: I don't care whether it's rash or not. I've already made up my mind.
There's one in every class: a joker with amazing gifts, but lacking the ambition to tap his true potential. He is as good a pilot as Stryker and the legendry Mark McHenry, but sometimes he has the attention span of a gold fish. He tries hard to make new friends, but usually comes off as obnoxious. He enjoys picking on his sister, Deanne.
Five years ago, his parents were stationed to study the Guardian of Forever. A violent earthquake struck, burying him under the rubble of a small building. He has been claustrophobic since.
Author's notes:
Vellorians are a Matriarchal society. Males are typically limited to touch-telepathy (called mind brush) only. Technically the female gender is split into two groups. One is the normal (Beta) female, and generally limited to touch-telepathy as well. Less than 10 of females are Alpha females, distinguished by pink skin, strong telepathy and natural aggression. Alpha females are always leaders in Vellorian society. Their Psionic ability allow them a certain degree of mind control over other Vellorians (and races that are unable to mentally block out telepaths, i.e: almost every other race). The mind control has a maximum range of 65 meters, telepathy less than 200 meters.
In Earth gravity, homeworld gravity is 27 lower. Like Klingons, Gorn and Cardassians; Edenians are heavy (heavier than most humanoids). Their physical strength is even greater than appearances would suggest, as the Edenians only possess around 7 body fat - the remainder is pure muscle mass. Also due to the standard gravity (being used by humans and most Federation species) being higher, Stryker and Wiuen had to adept.
Sprites
Sprites are a race of petite-sized humanoids well-known for their colourful (usually orange or blue) skin and child-like appearances. Their usual height at maturity (reached at age 35 - 40) is 3'7" to 4'4"
Caitian
Caitians possess sleek compact bodies covered with soft fur, which also covers their faces, and hangs about their head like a mane, large golden eyes with excellent night vision, a long tail, which moves in varying styles, according to the moods of its owner, and pointed ears on the top of the head. Physically, Caitians are extremely dexterous and fast. However, their ability to absorb damage is less than magnificent, and they avoid games that involve physical contact. Caitians practice total equality of the sexes, and have throughout their recorded history.
