  1. Name: Koik Lakszizo Age: 25 years Gender: Male Race: Unathi Blood Type: O+ General Occupational Role(s): Quartermaster. Biography: Born to a poorer family, Koik's household was on the verge of poverty when their apartment complex caught fire due to a malfunctioning AI. Left to the streets, they tried their best to live a happy life. However, Koik would grow a fear and hatred for AI that would never quite go away afterwards. With only a single mother, Koik was left unsupervised, which caused issues when he started to grow older. He took on the name of his missing father at the age of ten, to the disappointment of his mother, and through his teenage years decided to get money the easiest way he could -- by taking it from others. Using a job at a vehicle parts shop as cover, he made most of his money through drug sales and robberies. Eventually, word spread to his clan, and his father returned home from exploring to set the record straight -- Koik doesn't like to talk about this much. His father died from stabwounds at about the same time Koik got in a barfight, forced to get cybernetic heart and lungs. He's been in heavy medical debt for the last few years since. Now he works for NanoTrasen, just trying to make ends meet and, hopefully, find a slightly happier life on a space station than he did on the surface of any planet. Qualifications: Experience unloading shipments for automotive supply shop. Has a pulse. Employment Records: Mid-teenage years helped stock a shop for automobile parts. Security Records: Drug possession, drug dealing, spiking drinks, violence against machines. Medical Records: Multiple liver surgeries. Synthetic heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver due to a particularly heavy night of partying. Personnel Photo (Appearance text): File attached. Other Notes: He hates AI, and generally expects Vox to prove themselves to be not terrible. Strong distaste for clowns. Apparently, he's learning to play saxophone, thanks to a friend's advice.

  2. Name: Jean REGULIER Age: 29 Gender: Male Race: Caucasian. Place of birth: Mourmellon-le-Grand, Champagne, France, Earth Height: 185 cm Blood Type: A+ Hair: Light brown Eyes: Steel blue Body markings: None. Religious beliefs: Christian, Space Protestant General Occupational Role(s): Medical Doctor, all Medical roles Security Officer, all Security roles Appreance Jean's appreance is vivid, and his posture is notably good - apart from his English, which is, well, you have to bear with it. Happen you to note him aboard the Cyberiad, it is almost certain he is smiling, even during those situtions in which space has happened the most. * * * Mugshot: Art by @Norstead Biography On Jean's papers you find out that he has quite a record for his age. On the other hand, there are only the work and degree records, not much else on ink. Work records doesn't tell much about a person as themselves - they just caricature them to wear uniforms, out of which you have to guess what is moving inside their head by why they have liked that and that kind of work. Well, concerning Jean, the grey, bulk, NanoTransen-marked crew record folder you are now holding on your hands does draw Jean in a number of different jobs. Opening it, you see four smaller folders inside it, sorted by date issued. The first one is an university degree. Text is French Common by language: Jean had attended the theological faculty of the university of Paris, by years 2552-2554, achieving the degree of licence on Space Protestant theology. You notice, though, that the university seal on the degree certificate looks bit odd... printed? However, rumors say that Jean could, if initiaded, talk about all the cool grammar issues of ancient Latin, Greek and Hebrew, along with space Protestant theology, until the poor boy to initiate that gets a violent SSD attack. So for your cortical health, better not to be asking him the details of his theological studies. The next document - few papers on a plastic sheet - states: Legion d'Etrangere d'Espace. So Jean was a legionnaire. If you check his appreance another time, he is not only a smiling being, he does have a certain posture aswell. That's what you get with full five-year contract with the kepi-blanc. Yes, they use those even in space marine service, if the caporal-chef is up for it; attached to their EVA head gear. If the chef's not, then only the standard-issue green beret is required, in all circumstancies. Sure it was here, where Jean learned the habit to call all his superiors "chef", for the annoyance of those Galactic Common speakers who are not so into the art of making food. Jean's final rank in the Legion was the caporal-chef. So says the 'carte d'identite militaire' as attached. The service record adds that he had specialist training aswell. Namely, on transmissions of cavalry branch units, both basic and tactical. "Well that does explain the relative lack of robust, as we are talking here of an ex-legionnaire claimed?", you note to self when reading that. Signals are for nerds. Nerds are for signals. Apparently his service went well, anyway. Off Jean got in 2559. A visible remainder of this phase in Jean's life, besides his firm appreance and chef-talk as mentioned, is his apparent fondness of beret-style headwear. Then there is the passport. Oui! Standard issue of Space France, dated to 2557, all good-looking and not-suspicious. Something you note, though, is that the passport is the only actual identifaction document Jean's papers do provide, apart from that military ID. No information on family, relatives, no medical records apart of those by NAS Trurl -based officials, nothing to give away where Jean is actually from and where he had spent his youth, before the legionnaire service. The passport states Jean birth as "France". Jean's NanoTransen mugshot does explicate it as Mourmellon-le-Grand in Champagne. As Jean's favourite philophical quota puts it - "Somebody does piss on you, too" (it was a graffiti above an urinal somewhere back in Earth) - who knows, which parts of all the stories are just nice and honking bullshit? Fourth small folder, and the last one not issued by NAS Trurl-based NT officials, are two papers in one light-blue vouche. The vouche looks like quite new; it carries the traditional UN symbol and the heading "SOLGOV". The first paper inside there is again a military service record. This time it is from the SolGov Solar Rapid Deployment Force. It states Jean as a junior combat medical officer, with a rank of lieutenant 2nd class. The date Jean got that promotion is just one month before the date of the service was terminated. The another paper may explain this: it is medical doctor's degree, namely a licence on doctoring. Jean was studying medical science at a SolGov-funded program on Earth, this time in Finland, which trained junior medical officers to military units stationed to outer Solar space. Apparently Jean was not satisfied on the terms of SolGov military service, as he had exit the Force before really being in the service. So here we come to the last record to mention: Crew Record, NanoTransen, Epsilon Eridani Sector. Namely, the catalog of this crew record folder as whole. Guess the SolGov officials was not that happy of Jean leaving the medical officer service so quick, guess there is something not so honky on Jean's personal life, guess there is something behind his uncertain origins - now he is here, in this sector, behind Space Jesus' back, anytime ready to be assigned aboard the main Nanotransen scientific asset on the area, the NSS Cyberiad. In the crew record catalogue you can find a number of shift assigment orders from hands of few Cyberiad Heads of Personnel. That indicates that Jean has been working quite nerdlike since he had arrived to the sector. Not that long ago, you note, too. According to these, all offices of the Medical and Security department had been held by Jean for several times. Even he managed to survive the Gateway! Well, only one serious assigment this says, could be just luck... and oh, what is this fancy-coloured paper with smileys on it? "NAS Trurl G7: Crew Welfare Command Assigment, Employee: 'Le Honk'..." oh, there is a stamp of SECRET visible on the edge, better not to be issued with this!" Commendations [only to be added by admin]: Reprimands [only to be added by admin]: Other Notes: - Ze French-way broken Galactic common Jean speaks has the frequent ze-sounds from the back of mouth, contrary to the German style of the cutting "Z" from the teeth. Imagine an all-drunk French gentleman saying "send", zsend. Yet, if you try Jean with the French Common, that may lead you to some questions concerning his said background. All around you could still say, that at least he acts like a French, loves the French like a French, and eat baguette, nutella and couscous royale just like a French. - Jean has picked up a habit of smoking Robust during his service in the Cyberiad. Doesn't it tell bit of him being jealous of those hard-robust dudes Jean has met (and the obvious results of those meetings)? - Happy to be friendly for everyone, Jean especially loves to do his work in co-operation with others. The favourite Cyberiad-based war story he recites by the bar-desk of the "Harmbaton", concerns one of his first assigments of Detective, having a Vox mime called Voidling as his companion. It is hard to decide, which part of that story is the most exaggeriting one: Jean not being a nerd, but robust, a mime being a Vox and a member of the Security, or the uncertain but big number of Syndicate space punks the dynamic duo were to reveal for the greater praise of Nanotransen?

  3. Keep in mind that all of the fights can be significantly easier, or harder, based on RNG. Colossus may see fit to spam his shotgun blast, or legion may just run away forever. And yes, if for some reason you wanted to pick an optimal race, Slime People, and Diona are best. If you wanted to make each fight significantly easier just farm legion cores and bam, easy healing. Kinetic Accelerator Mods KA Triggerguard Mod - Allows species that normally cannot use the KA to use it (Vendor/Science) KA Range Mod - Increases Range by one tile (Vendor/Science) KA Damage Mod - Increases damage by 10 (Vendor/Science) KA Cooldown Mod - Reduces cooldown by .32 seconds(may be wrong) (Vendor/Science) KA AoE Damage Mod - Allows you to deal damage in a 3x3 (Vendor) KA AoE Mining Mod - Allows you to break rocks in a 3x3 (Science) KA Death Syphon Mod - Whenever you kill a creature, permanently increases your damage against that type of creature (Disk from Tendril) AoE Hybrid Mod - Mod that does AoE damage, AND AoE mining (Disk from Tendril) KA Rapid Repeater Mod - Greatly increases cooldown but reduces it to almost nothing whenever you hit an enemy (Disk from Tendril) KA Resonator Blast Mod - Creates a resonator blast at target when hit, has to be detonated by hitting it again (Disk from Tendril) Lifesteal Crystal Mod - Heals you for EITHER 2.5 Brute, Burn, or Oxy damage, priority in that order, whenever you hit enemies (Tendril) Ash Drake (Fiery Signal) Ash Drake is the most commonly spawning megafauna which drops the best loot of them all, however I believe they are the easiest to kill with the least amount of prep time. The loadout I run is; 3 cooldowns, 2 Burn Patches, a Medipen, and at least one Legion Core. The idea behind this is to force the drake into phase 2 as fast as possible, with the high DPS of 3 cooldowns. This is because phase 1 Drake has more consistent damage, as their firebreath is hardest to dodge here and is what you would end up spending most of your meds on. Phase two's fire breath is shot at an angle, and you will end up dodging it if you just run straight. If you manage to find the Lifesteal mod from a tendril, it makes the fight substantially easier, replace a cooldown with it. If you still struggle with Drake, substitute a cooldown with a range, and get more familiar with dodging him. This is a pretty good showcase, as you can see that I am dodging horribly, yet still powering through the fight with proper medicine usage. Blood Drunk Miner (Resonant Signal) There is very little room to outplay the BDM, he will do a set amount of damage and there is little you can do to dodge it. However he has 900 health, and no armor piercing; Get a fully upgraded Mining Suit or Drake Armor and he tickles. You want 3 Cooldowns, a Medipen, a Brute Patch, and a Legion Core to prevent slowdown. Just run and gun. Colossus (Angelic Signal) Colossus requires a unique loadout of 4 Range Mods, otherwise you are just going to want the usual Medipens, Brute Patches, and as many Legion Cores as you can gather. Colossus will kill you in one of three ways; you fail a dodge, get too close, or run into a wall and make dodging very hard. Colossus is easiest to dodge if you fight him alone, and if you stay in one of the four cardinal directions from him where dodging requires you to only sidestep once. If you cut corners and position yourself diagonal from him, it will let him gain distance on you and make his death bolts more unpredictable and harder dodge. His most lethal ability is the 'shotgun' blast he will use, in which case you need to dodge immediately. If you tank 3+ death bolts at any given time, you can just outright die from getting stunned. The larger of an area you clear out to fight him, the easier, 70x70 should be enough. The death bolts that Colossus shoots can also aggro other mobs, INCLUDING other Megafauna, and they will aggro onto the nearest attack-able thing which is usually you. Also, the circle that appears when you hit him means absolutely nothing, it is just a visual effect. Legion (Echoing Signal) Legion requires another unique loadout, of 1 Range, 1 Cooldown, and 1 AOE Damage. In terms of healing, you just want the usual Legion Cores, Medipens and Brute Patches. I would heavily recommend you acquire ash-proof clothing as well, as this fight is the longest of all Megafauna. Legion is a bit unique in the sense that, sometimes he will try and kite you, instead of you kiting him. Legion's attack pattern will involve him spinning and chasing you, and sometimes spawning little legion skulls and kiting back. You want to make a VERY long 1 wide tunnel in order to kite him through, in terms of gear, an ADV Plasma Cutter will help you heavily with this. Furthermore, after Legion has split, he will sometimes try to break through rock to FLANK you, he will do this especially often if there are nearby tunnels he can easily run though, to this end you want thermals to see when he is trying to do this. The AOE damage mod allows you to ignore the mechanic where he spawns little skulls, just run and gun, keep your distance. The rest of the fight basically boils down to chasing the surviving legion skulls down, you've won at this point. Hierophant (Zealous Signal) I will add him if hes confirmed to be perma-added, but I doubt he will be. Last Notes If you have any requests or are still struggling with any of them, just @/DM me on discord.
