ProfileName: Odysseus Dallas
Gaia Name: Odysseas
Age: 21
Physical Description: Medium height, strong build. Sports long black hair tied in a ponytail and a short-cropped beard on his mediterranean face, accompanied by dark eyes. He's usually dressed in a gray or black jumpsuit.
Skills/Talents: Close Combat, Resolve, Piloting
Special Abilities: Psionic Powers (Mindsword, Electrokinetics, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Mind Blast, Mind Shield)
Equipment: Laser Pistol, Combat Knife, PDA,
Background: Odysseas was raised by a normal family, until his psychic potential was realized in the age of 12. At that age he was discovered by the government's lackeys and entered a Mind Knight training regime. At first he was enthusiastic, but the prospects of working for the government everafter were not enticing, thus as soon as he finished his training at 18, he escaped the facilities and found himself upon a smuggler's boat. There, he learned to pilot, which was always a dream for him, and decided to strike out on his own. Currently, he's the pilot of the small, shady courier "Hermes".
Name: Kazuma Nakamura
Gaia Name: Mistah_Myxay
Age: 22
Physical Description: Stands at a height of 5'8, above-average body build, he has some muscle. Dark blue eyes, Crimson red hair, and a nasty scar that reaches from his left eye to the bottom of his chin. Caused from an explosion, where a piece of shrapnel flew and gave him the scar. Usually dressed in his military uniform, which consists of a black jumpsuit, along with some body armor on top of that. Also sports a pair of goggles usually hanging around his neck.
Skills/Talents: Sharpshooter, cook, close combat.
Special Abilities: Electrokinetic abilities.
Equipment: Long range Laser Rifle, and two light-weight Autolasers. Also sports a deadly combat knife.
Background: Kazuma was kidnapped at a young age, somewhere around four, to become a so called "Super Soldier". He made it through his 16 years of training and running missions, and now is on probation for assaulting a higher officer. Why would he do that? Because he killed almost all of his "Family" by sending them into a asteroid base which was already in the self-destruct sequence. The higher ranked officer had known that...
Name: Matthew Freeman
Gaia Name: Mistah_Myxay
Age: 21
Physical Description: Tall, about 6'2, with a slightly more muscular build then Kazuma. Bright blue eyes, like the sky. Sandy blond hair. Matt is usually seen in the Military's Black jumpsuit, with a gold trim that all Orbit Jumpers had. Those of which had jumped from orbit, and onto a planet. It is a dangerous job in the military, and very few have lived as long as Matt has. Matt also likes to wear a black beret with his Orbit Jumper pin on it.
Skills/Talents: Is an Orbit Jumper, amazing at Close Combat, also a very good Techie, can take a few broken weapons and make something amazing out of it.
Special Abilities: ElectroKinetic abilities, very useful with being a Techie.
Equipment: Medium to Long range laser carbine, custom-made laser pistol (Made to fire like a shot gun, but drains battery far far to much, making it have a total of only 4 shots in one battery, and has a large kick-back), Combat knife, and a PDA with butt-loads of information.
Background: Matt has always been the tecchie when it came to choosing groups on missions. Only because no one else really payed attention to the subject like Matt. All of the Kidnapped Children whom become super-soldiers knew how to correectly disassemble a weapon, but they didn't know how to make something totally new out of it. Matt has been Kazuma's right-hand man since they started training so many years ago. It's rare to find one without the other, except when they begin a mission. Because Matt has the most skill with Orbital Drops, they usually send in the rest of the team after he's sure the area is clear...
Name: Sgt. Enrico Jackson
Gaia Name: One Eye X
Age: 26
Physical Description: A tall man who while muscular is rather more in shape then broodingly large. He is of mixed decent and has mildly tanned skin along with a short military hair-cut followed by a small pony tail at the back. He doesn't seem rather scarred considering that past wars he's fought in, but does keep a Tattoo tallying the kills he's gotten; current 72.
Skills/Talents: Enrico has an iron will and solid grasp of combat. He also has training with most of the galaxies weapons and armor; making him a viable threat in any battlefield. While he can pilot some small crafts, he isn't Navy member. See Powered Armor for more details.
Special Abilities: While Sgt. Jackson doesn't have any telepathic abilities, he does have the polar opposite. Through his military training he received several "mind closer" to prevent direct telepathic damage. As a squad member, he is in charge of Heavy Weapons; and as such excels with them.
Equipment:
APS-S60 Powered Armor Suit: A suit of powered armor given to soldiers of the Ava Corps. It entombs the soldier in thick coat of armor as well as support systems to assist the trooper. It comes with a self contained environment for space combat as well as magnetic shock boots for zero-gravity movement for both walking and thrusting around. Fully integrated AI assistance (Jackson's AI being named Juliet or just J) which can use Nano-Morphine to save a soldiers life along with Targeting assistance and communication systems. The suit is powered by the users thermal energy and for every minute the suit is worn, it is powered for twice that amount of time. To use the S60 you must be cybernetically fitted with jack in links; these are similar to the way a guitar connects to an amp. They are located above the shoulder blades by the neck and on the lower torso, just above the hip. The suit has a built in PDA. Each shoulder plate on the armor is colored and tagged with soldiers ID Code, Blood type and preferred color. Jackson’s being F566, AB and are colored Red (His kill count also appears tallied here).
"Stinger" Flak Chain-gun: A feared weapon of the Ava forces which is used only by specially trained soldiers. It fires plasma heated metal balls about the size of a nickel. When fired, it takes a second to charge the plasma battery and turn the barrel; but when it does fire it lets out a hell storm of plasma and hard-impacting shrapnel.
Ava Issued Combat Knife: Implanted in the forearm of the S60 armor, is extends to about 11 inchs to be used as a last ditch close combat weapon.
Background: Trained under the United Ava Peace Corp (to spite the name: they are pretty much a fully military group) he is a Soldier, first and foremost. He has worked as a Cap-Trooper originally; being a Soldier trained in orbit-to-ground attacks. After that he worked on the Rubi-Ka cruiser; which he gained honors for his single handed victory over the rogue AI (named Bravo) that had taken it over the ship. Since then, he was worked a Recon ship for the UAPC seeking out problems in the galaxy and pre-warnings of rebellion or war.
Name: Pvt. Wilson Dodger
Gaia Name: One Eye X
Age: 23
Physical Description: Rather lanky and tall with smooth white skin, he doesn’t look much like a military man. He, much like Jackson, has a shaved head but lacks the pony tail; but to counter this his hair has grown back more so then Jackson (Hair color is dirty blond). He has very few scars, and even less are combat related. Since he has served a shorter military term the Jackson. He also sports the same Tattoo stating the kill counts; 15 at the present time.
Skills/Talents: Dodger is a former computer hacker who now works for the UAPC as a Tech-Marine. He can remotely hack doors and computers with the help of his AI (Charlie).
Special Abilities: Other then Hacking, Dodger has the same “mind closer” as Jackson.
Equipment:
APS-S60 Powered Armor Suit: A suit of powered armor given to soldiers of the Ava Corps. It entombs the soldier in thick coat of armor as well as support systems to assist the trooper. It comes with a self contained environment for space combat as well as magnetic shock boots for zero-gravity movement for both walking and thrusting around. Fully integrated AI assistance (Dodger’s being Charlie or just C) which can use Nano-Morphine to save a soldiers life along with Targeting assistance and communication systems. The suit is powered by the users thermal energy and for every minute the suit is worn, it is powered for twice that amount of time. To use the S60 you must be cybernetically fitted with jack in links; these are similar to the way a guitar connects to an amp. They are located above the shoulder blades by the neck and on the lower torso, just above the hip. The suit has a built in PDA. Each shoulder plate on the armor is colored and tagged with soldiers ID Code, Blood type and preferred color. Dodger’s being S773, A+ and are colored Light Blue (His kill count also appears tallied here).
S5-G3 Charge Rifle: A rifle invented by the UAPC to combat the modern laser weapons. Using the old idea of clip fed weaponry the weapon fired grains of sand like material which when combined with plasma expand to the size of a rather large bullet. It then fires these rounds as plasma blasts with shell based impact. This creates a rather effective weapon against most infantry, but lacks against armoured targets like ships or vehicles. The weapon can fire in bursts of 3 rounds, semi-automatic shots or fully automatic fire; the later of which may cause the gun to over heat if over used.
Ava Issued Combat Knife: Implanted in the forearm of the S60 armor, is extends to about 11 inchs to be used as a last ditch close combat weapon.
Background: A former computer hacker who was arrested after shifting through military files. He was detained and found guilty. He was left with two choices: join the UAPC or 12 years in jail. Since then he has been a member of the Corps without much question. He was also part of the rescue team that got Jackson off the Rubi-Ka and helped cleanse the system of the remaining bits of the AI. He was later approached by Lt. Yang (under Jackon’s request) to join the Recon squad.

Gaia Name: One Eye X
Age: 32
Physical Description: A rather stocky Asian man who is well built with muscle. He has tanned skin and has deep sunken eyes. Unlike his comrades, he has gray hair that is of rather long length for military personnel. He has many scars, three of which form a “Y” shape across his lip. He also has the kill count as like the rest of his squad; which while is says is only 5, that is because he “rolled over” the 100 mark.
Skills/Talents: A shrewd leader and amazing soldier, he is the ideal commanding officer for any soldier. He also served a medic in his previous tour of duty, giving him a dual use.Special Abilities: “Mind closer” much like the rest of his squad. He also has a “Mark light” to give his soldiers advanced direction beyond what a normal commander could do..
