Name: Peter Jepsen
Age: 32
Occupation: Whatever pays for fuel and repairs.
History:
Peter was a prosperous young man working his way up the corporate ladder. He got a decent job soon after receiving his MBA with the Blue Sun group. With his life-long passion for inventing new things, he was happy and successful in the R&D department. Until he stumbled upon some documents for top secret weapons, that is. His curiosity pushed him to dig a little deeper and discovered a dark web of political assassinations, inhumane government tests, and corrupt government officials. It wasn’t long until a specialized group of operatives caught wind of these unearthed secrets and systematically started “removing†everyone in the R&D department. With the help of some insider information, Peter was able to dodge the bullet and make a quiet get-away. He spent the next two years jumping from system to system working his way farther and farther away from the core. He has since been contacted by an underground resistance and has been working towards the liberation of the outer systems.

Name: Sylvania Del La Choir of the House of Whispering Winds
Age: 33
Gender: Female
Occupation: Teacher, formally a Companion
History:
Sylvania, born her ladyship Sylvania Del La Choir of the House of Whispering Winds, was a gifted child raised with all the benefits money and a good education could provide. Like all the females in her bloodline she was an empath, not quite a reader and a far cry from a telepath; also like all her bloodline, she was sent to Temple to be trained in the arts of a Companion early on. She two decades she's paid off her guild debt of service and her house debt of loyalty and honor.
Syl, rarely do her friends need to call her by her full first name and none that she travels with know her full name or heritage as her house is allied to the Alliance and she long ago saw through to the truth of the Alliance, relocated to the bad lands and furthest reaches of civilization to bring instruction and the word of the holy mother to those that needed it.
Independantly wealthy she realized early on that money alone cannot barter passage or feed food to empty bellies. She seeks a strong captain and a loyal crew to travel with and in exchange use her skills to their advantage while spreading the word of the holy mother.
Sylvania is a nurturing person of incredibly deep, intense, feelings. Being an empath allows her to 'see' a path into a persons heart much more clearly then another would, it also allows her to make the best by reading the emotions/ feelings of those she is dealing with; this on occasion has led to her to play the role of counselor to those that need it, a role which she is very adept at.
The Alliance is well aware of her empathic abilities and linage, though not her current where abouts, though she is neither an outlaw or wanted. Additionally, rarely does she practice the arts of companionship, though there are special occations and exceptions to that rule, especially when the temple mother of the companions guild asks, for all companions, practising and non-practising are required and conditioned to obey.
Where will her travels take her?
Together we will see...

History: I grew up on Persephone, in a declining house where there is great pressure to aspire to a noble profession. After sacheting from one major to another, one university to another, various planets even, I dissappointe my parents thoroughly by becoming a journalist. My focus has been on explanations for outer rim colony failures, often ascribed to Reaver attacks. Though I have always thought these stories were covers for piracy.
Why did you come to Shadow? I came to the outer rim to debunk the tales of Reavers. What Luck! Only now I've become one of those people who know they are real, and my colleagues back at the information Bureau will never believe me.

Name: Alex Han
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Occupation: Fixes things
History:
Alex was born in a small rural town on Shadow. His parents ran one of the local saloons, but didn't want him to spend too much time in that environment as a child. Thus, he spent most of his childhood being shuffled about and working odd jobs around the town and the surrounding countryside. He knows his way around a cow, has done a bit of mining and drilling, and has a respectable ability at farming. However, he found his true calling when he was 14 and was set to work at fixing a mule (the transport vehicle, not the animal). Despite starting with only the faintest notion of how the thing worked, he was still able to get it up and running much faster than anyone had expected. Ever since then, he has worked as a general mechanic, fixing just about anything with moving parts. He's no Kaylee, and hasn't had much of a chance to learn about spaceship engines, but he can fix just about anything else.
When the war came, Alex enlisted on the side of the browncoats for the usual reason: he didn't like interference in his life. He made it through basic training, but wasn't really much of a soldier. Instead, he was set to work where he would be most useful: fixing the artillery, transport vehiciles, and everything else that needed fixing. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), Alex was only on active duty for a month before he took a large piece of shrapnel in the left leg, and nearly lost the limb. He was sent home, and couldn't walk without crutches for almost a year. He still favors his right leg heavily, to this day. However, the injury did not prevent him from continuing his work as a general mechanic.
With regards to his personality, Alex is a pretty friendly guy. He's not a big fan of rich people from the city, but gets along just fine with anyone that he can relate to. He doesn't bear much ill will except towards those that would interfere with his life.
