+ Name: Astor Bonheur
+ Name Meaning: "Hawk."
+ Nicknames:
+ Age: About five years.
--& Astor's birthday is estimated to be around April 12th. It is difficult to know for certain due to the nature of space travel and time.
+ Gender: Male
+ Stage: Teenager (About 14-15.)
+ Species: Fa'e (reincarnated Mayan god)

+ Distinctive features: Facial markings, dreadlocks, fireflies in his hair.

+ Personality:
Astor is adventurous and impulsive to excess. He comes equipped with copious amounts of enthusiasm, but marginal to nonexistent amounts of tact. He has an unfortunate tendency to rush into situations without thinking them through, to occasionally disastrous results: he is clever and can figure out individual problems when he focuses in on them, but often has difficulty in grasping the bigger picture. This means that while an individual aspect of his plans may be finely tuned, you can expect that somewhere along the line there is something he has obviously failed to think through just waiting to come bite him.

It is practically guaranteed that once during any misadventure, he will wind up dismembered on the floor, waiting for someone else to bring him his legs back.

He is in every sense the definition of an ‘active’ learner. Astor does poorly in classroom situations because there is simply too much to distract him – friends to talk to and pens to click and hair to pull and paper to fold into airplanes and play wastebasket basketball with and—you get the picture. He’d rather make baking soda and vinegar explode than read about volcanoes, and build a scale model of the solar system in the parking lot than learn about it in school. He remembers things best by experiencing them firsthand – he’ll touch the stove, he’ll stick his hands in wet paint, and he’ll walk through fresh cement.

Despite coming off as quite the academic flop, Astor has a certain practical intelligence and joie de vivre that is hard to resist. He has a quip-driven sense of verbal humor that has probably been influenced by Spider-Man comics, and his slapstick styling would make the Marx Brothers proud. He lives life one step at a time, with an easy smile on his face and a contagious sense of spontaneity. It’s not unheard of for him to go out of his way to try to make those around him laugh or crack a smile.

As a generally cheerful person, Astor is quite often at a loss for what to do with negative emotions. He does have a tendency to hold grudges, but can usually be persuaded to let them drop after a few weeks or once his revenge has been properly exacted. He’s not a particularly bloodthirsty person, nor does he have the attention span required to come up with any sort of substantive battle plan. The only real way to know if you’ve attracted his ire is if you find yourself subject to a barrage of childish pranks. Fly in your coffee? Probably Astor. Tripped over some misplaced junk? Again, probably Astor. Someone blinding you with a handheld mirror? Take a look across the room – it’s Astor, and he’ll get bored of it in a week or two once he thinks you’ve gotten what you deserve.

For all his pranks and childish antics, he really is a good person at heart. At the end of the day, Astor rests easy because he genuinely thinks he’s doing the right thing. He doesn’t cheat. He doesn’t outright lie. He follows the rules and only antagonizes people who he feels have done something to bring it upon themselves. He’s the sort of friend you’d want to have in your corner – if not for the comic relief then because he’ll always have your back.

+ Likes: exploring, sports, martian cats, fireflies, making life a bit more interesting.
+ Dislikes: people with no sense of humor, space rations, having to sit down and actually do schoolwork, losing.
+ Fears: Anything bad happening to Chess, getting permanently taken apart.

Hunahpu and his twin brother Xbalanque were the original dynamic duo. They had the pedigree, being the illegitimate sons of a dead sports hero by way of a minor goddess who also happened to also be a princess of the underworld. They had the air of the fantastic: they were not conceived the old fashioned way, but rather when their father’s head (hung on a calabash tree and left for dead) spit into the hand of a curious maiden. By the time the boys were in their teens, they had defeated Vucub-Caquix, the greedy macaw god, and his three arrogant sons, and had successfully outwitted their older brothers and turned them into howler monkeys. But all this was child’s play compared to the time that the twins defeated the lords of death.

Following a tip from a rat, the brothers were alerted of where their father and their uncle’s old sporting gear was stored. Once they retrieved it, they found that they were quite talented at the traditional mayan ball game and began to practice, keen on becoming the best players to ever live.

In time, their playing became so loud that it disturbed the lords of death in Xibalba. They summoned the boys and challenged them to a series of matches, and also to face challenges in the different places of torture in Xibalba. The brothers outwitted and outplayed the gods at every turn, and in anger the gods murdered the brothers and dumped their ashes in a river.

When the ashes settled to the bottom, they reformed into the bodies of the boys and they snuck into the court of the gods in the guise of performers. After Xbalanque demonstrated a trick of killing Hunahpu and then restoring him to life, the gods demanded that they be next to take part in this trickery. Hunahpu and Xbalanque did as they were told, but they didn’t put the gods back together. The glory of Xibalba thusly vanquished, the twins left the underworld and ascended into the sky where Hunahpu became the sun and Xbalanque became the moon.

All this was fine and dandy for quite some time until, unknown to his twin, Xbalanque grew bitter of always being in his brother’s shadow. In time, he decided that the only way to gain his proper glory was to remove Hunahpu from the picture permanently. He knew gods could be killed, because they had slain many in their youth, and so one day he ambushed his brother and sacrificed him as they had the gods of death, and did not put him back together.

Powers >

+ Dismemberment: Astor has the ability to remove and reattach body parts at will, or even replace body parts with other objects. Depending on how dismembered he gets, he may need help being put back together. However, no matter how taken apart he is, he can always be put back together. He can remove any body part, even his head, without suffering permanent damage.
Parts are removed at joints. For example, fingers are removed at the knuckle, or the whole hand is removed at the wrist. Arms detach at the elbow or shoulder, etc. Parts remain fully controllable, even when removed.

+ Transmutation: Astor can turn various replaceable parts removed from his body - strands of hair, bits of skin, fingernails - into animals of varying sizes. Nothing truly massive, but he can manage bugs, small mammals, and birds. The more bodily material used in the creation of the being, the larger it is. (A parakeet might take one dreadlock, but a macaw might take four.) These constructs last for short periods of time (usually less than an hour) and generally obey him. However, obeying him isn't a flawless thing, so Astor tries to avoid summoning things that could potentially be rather dangerous.
(These are not SUMMONS. He is not "summoning" a creature, supernatural or otherwise, out of somewhere else. He is shaping a part of his body into that creature, and only parts of his body. When he withdraws his influence from the creature, it turns back into feathers/hair/bits of skin.)

+ SUPERJOCK: Astor is naturally talented at fast paced sports involving the use of a ball as a primary piece of equipment. Mostly, this applies to the ancient Xibalban ball game (something of a cross between basketball and soccer), but can be extended to anything somewhat similar. (Generally, basketball and soccer. Football, baseball, etc, are a little too different.)


Counter-powers >

+ A million little pieces: Astor's body doesn't stick together as well as it should. If enough sudden force is applied, the body part in question will come off, whether he wants it to or not. For example, slamming his hand in a door will cause it to come off, or getting hit in the head with a baseball bat (with considerable force) will make his head go flying. If he becomes too dismembered, help is required for him to put himself back together

+ Weak Spot: Because of how his body reacts to physical blows, by fragmenting rather than taking immediate physical damage, Astor is fairly difficult to kill permanently. However, a direct blow to the heart with a puncturing weapon will kill him or severely injure him in a way he cannot repair himself.
--&This isn't to say that hitting him elsewhere won't damage him, but his heart is of particular importance. You could, for example, still stab him in the gut or break his bones, and it would affect him just like anyone else can, but his heart is of special significance within the greater scheme of things.

+ Name: Chess Bonheur
+ Nicknames: n/a
+ Species: Human
+ Gender: Female
+ Age: 29

+ Appearance:
Chess is short, thin, and not particularly muscular. In a world full of amazing looking people, she's rather plain and boring, with limp black hair and dull green eyes. She dresses seriously and professionally, in crisp jackets and pencil skirts, even on the umpteenth day of an interstellar voyage, and subjects the rest of the deck crew to the same sort of compulsive hygiene that she herself practices. Her shoes are functional, as are her fingernails and the few pieces of jewelry that she allows herself to wear. Being a sex symbol probably ranks somewhere behind trivia about children's literature in Chess's mind - not very high at all.

+ Occupation: Stellar Navigator

+ Personality:
Chess stopped believing in the fantastic a long time ago. She needs facts in order to believe something exists. She has a very no-nonsense approach to the world, tending to try to apply the scientific method to everything. She avoids intimacy or even close friendships, and mostly keeps to herself and her books. Her manner is cynical and her people skills are distant at best. Chess is extremely insecure about her talents, her appearance, and her role in the world. She has been this way since childhood, and it was only made worse by the relative rarity of women in her occupation.
As a parent, Chess oscillates wildly between a strict disciplinarian and apathetic, spending more time not caring the older Astor gets. Most days she is more keen on reading and working on mathematical theorems than parenting, and as a result her ward has been allowed something of a free-range childhood. He is a favorite among the different crew members, who would rather deal with the younger Bonheur and his antics than his mother and her chilly ways. Chess long ago acknowledged that she and Astor have nothing in common and makes no attempts to shape him in her image, but they have a deep, unspoken devotion to each other. He is as much her anchor as she is his. Without him, she would have given in to her own insecurities long ago. They are like a system of binary planets, forever locked in synchronous orbit around each other. Astor is devoted to his guardian, and if anything were to happen to her, it would shatter the only sense of stability he has. Everyone else on the ship comes and goes, but Chess is always there.

+ Likes: Very strong coffee, black as night and sweet as sin. Up to 80% of her daily caloric intake is made up of this stuff.
+ Dislikes: romantic comedies, spiders
+ Strengths: Mathematically minded, eager to prove herself.
+ Weaknesses: Seriously insecure, compensated for with an icy demeanor and lack of people skills.

+ Airi // The "mother" of all the Fa'e, even though Astor is pretty sure they're the same age, or at least were when they first met. Having no other information to go by, Astor is devoted to this girl who comforted him in his most desperate hour (even if it was all a dream), and frets over her constantly now that she is trapped within the tainted headquarters.

+ Zaoll // BFF forever, Astor is her "Little Brother" and Zaoll is his "Big Sister." After meeting in the midst of a bizarre nightmare engineered by Zaoll in her most desperate hour, the pair teamed up and promised "not to die." They were successful. Now that both are on Gaia, they remain close friends.

+ Sei // Opinion pending meeting outside a dream.

+ Riven // Riven would appear to be in the occupation of saving Astor's a**. Astor, for his part, is not quite sure what to make of the older Fa'e, but he always seems very calm and wise and has never been anything but helpful, so overall his impression of him is positive.

+ Astaroth // Opinion pending meeting outside a dream.

+ Caoimhe // A fierce warrior, but maybe the slightest bit unstable. Astor has encountered her several times but still hasn't got a firm feeling of either like or dislike about this Fa'e, probably because she scares him a bit. He knows they're on the same team, but that doesn't mean there are warm fuzzies between the two of them.

+ Dustin // Only saw him in passing.

+ Aylana // Only saw her in passing.

+ Onora // Originally known as "Crazy Red-Haired Warrior Girl," and more recently as 'Nora. Onora seems totally smart and in control, and as a result Astor is reduced to following orders and hoping for approval in her presence. Like Caoimhe, he is a little bit intimidated by this girl, but is less frightened by her than he is by the Selkie. He feels calmer in her presence, like any bad situation is made better simply by fact of her being there, although he has not yet realized this is the beginnings of a crush.

+ Sofi // In terms of personality and powers, Sofi is the first Fa'e that Astor really feels he has anything in common with. They are equal parts awkward and maladroit, and both come from other planets, which, Astor reasons, means they at least have something in common. Under different circumstances of meeting they would probably be better friends, but even so, he does like her well enough and would enjoy seeing her again.

+ Teen: This is a picture mom snapped around when we arrived on Gaia. She was in a bad mood, so I was trying to be cheerful in spite of her. I would've taken my head off for it, but given the circumstances I decided it would only make her mad...
