Personaggi visualizzati: 21
#1 - A. Salomon, The friendly supporter (personaggio interpretato da m. d.)
Motto: Be positive and smile. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Working on Icarus station is a big challenge and a really hard job, but also a world of different perspectives and interesting people. Salomon knows how to perform the job and how to behave to have his way around this chaotic life. Mining is really tough but paramount, and someone has to do it. The best way is to do it well and get along well with colleagues. Many other miners hate this job, but Salomon thinks it could be a great opportunity to cooperate and create ties. Always the first to support other miners, to help them find better solutions, and to avoid useless and dangerous quarrels and fights, this cheerful Earther is convinced that if there is harmony between the team, the work will surely be easier and lighter. Salomon is friendly and positive: always available to give addvice and to lend a ear to other miners' troubles, to try and find the bright side in every situation. Ironic and nice even when confronted with racist jokes, it’s very difficult to stay cross with Salomon. Even the worst fight soon ends in laughter over a good pint.
Relations: Donovan needs a good friend that could actually pay attention to the accident story, and Salomon is the right person to take care of this problematic miner.
Lagos always seems worried and needs to relax with some jokes.
Berg is too used to fight over everything, it’s better to help H. solving issues with words rather than fists. Kowalski is a good and efficient leader, and Salomon loves to work with this wise person.
Kohler is a good bartender, but piloting is the real skill there. It’s a pity that Kohler lost everything, and Salomon tries to relieve the barman's chagrins.
Guzman is a good engineer but is revealing other interesting skills: meeting and becoming friends could be a good idea.
#8 - Barbara Faulkner, The miracle worker with a bad reputation (personaggio interpretato da B. C.)
Motto: When you feel true passion for your job, even being kicked out of your home planet for doing it properly can be bearable... - Work Group: Med-Lab Botanic Lab - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: If life is really defined by what one does for others, then Faulkner can be already considered a hero. A tenth of the people living in the slums of New York owe Faulkner their lives, and the good doctor never asked anything in return. Faulkner is a good hearted (maybe too much), competent and generous doctor, who never refused to treat a patient in need, regardless of social status. However, the good doctor's charitable activities attracted unwanted attention, and Faulkner was suddenly discredited and treated like a fraud and a charlatan. With tearful eyes and a heavy heart, Faulkner chose to follow the passion for medicine and left Earth. Starting a new life from scratch was not easy, but thankfully medical skills are a rare commodity in the expanse and KMK showed up: they don't usually ask much about people's past and offered Faulkner a job on Icarus.
Relations: Gabrys is smart, but there is something strange about this colleague. People working in a med-lab should definitely be more focused. Maathai is slowly losing any connection to med-lab activities. All that rant talk about Mars and the martian environment is not helping anyone, and here no one cares about that dust bowl full of fanatics called Mars. Rozovsky is someone hard to forget, a very dangerous polititician who leaves scars on other people's lives. Russo is a kindred spirit, a little too rushed, perhaps. Faulkner patched up Donovan after the accident in the mines and now can't get rid of that crazed, racist, paranoid one.
Faulkner doesn't get along very well with Luna, but then again, who does? In the end, the two tolerate each other much better than the other teammates do. Has tried to get in touch with Woo but it seems like there is an impenetrable wall of diffidence between the two doctors.
#23 - Lionel Frost, The brainy and racist cop (personaggio interpretato da L. B.)
Motto: I'm way too good for this shitty asteroid! - Work Group: Security Star Helix - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Frost is an experienced and driven Star Helix agent, the Captain of the shift and, allegedly, a natural born detective. It’s not always easy for a true and proud Earther to adjust to the Belt’s lifestyle, but at least when this cop used to lead high profile investigations on Ceres, the job and daily routine were fine. It’s no mystery that Frost moved to the Belt to accommodate Linder’s career and aspirations: that was a voluntarily endured sacrifice made out of love, but a sacrifice nonetheless. Moving to a God-forsaken and shitty pit-hole of an asteroid was… Well, just too much! Now, both Frost’s career and marriage seem to be in a deadlock, and this self-confident cop’s life is turning into a nightmare. Brainy, aggressive and pushy, the Captain claims to be just a patriotic hard one, but Belters who fell into Frost’s radar use another word: racist!
Relations: Frost and Linder are married.
As captain, Frost is far from having an ideal team: Nowak is very green, but maybe there's still hope to turn this one into a good cop. Eweli and Lee are old school agents, just not Frost's school. Okita is annoying and not particularly promising. In the other shift team Capek and Raven are good and reliable agents, also for sharing a drink or a talk. Guerrero is not at all the agent Frost would have wanted as fellow captain. Nyman is one of the few kindred spirits on Icarus, a new acquaintance and possibly a friend, or more... Maathai should keep those martians hands away from Linder, even if they swear they are only friends. Bullied Cheng who's just another uptight, stiff Martian. Once a scumbag, forever a scumbag, especially a Belter one: that's why L. hates Mackinney so much. They fight every time they meet. Stella is a disgrace for Earth, infectious as a disease.
#28 - Bogdan Stella, The all-addiction addict (personaggio interpretato da A. I.)
Motto: What am I celebrating, you ask? Don't you know? It's Good Friday Day in Latvia...What is Latvia? Hell if I know! Want a sip? - Work Group: Reactor Room - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Before the Savior's Second Coming, Stella is determined to have many sins to atone for, and to enjoy life in any way possibile, whatever the consequences. B.'s Bible is the partying book, where on each day are listed many festivities worth partying for. Would it be for the Namibian independence, or for the Chinese New Year, every occasion, real or made up, it works for Stella. B. is the life of the party, wahtever the activity at hand: smoking all night, emptying bottles, doing crystals, sniffing from someone's belly after or before or while having sex. B. likes them all: drugs, men, women. Often at the same time. When not too high, Stella is smart and cunning, especially whenthere's a need for new stuff to get high on. Thanks to a nice brain, B. works enough not to get fired, despite being too lazy to waste any energy on something that's not the chance to get high. Generally Stella is lively, friendly and funny, but sometimes jokes or timing are largely inappropriate. Despite not being a renown OPA, B. can often get in a ranting mood when high, and publicly denounces how belters are mistreated. Stella deeply resents Earthers: B. used to be treated like shit back on Terra. At least now, shit is everywhere. Even if overly aware of these life's conditions, Stella doesn't do anything to improve it, as if too scared or lazy to commit to even try to change lifestyle. Sometimes Stella can get bitter and sad about the addiction, but this is just a downside that pushes B. to get wasted again and forget all about it.
Relations: Considers Guzman some sort of ''friend'', as is one of the unjudgmental few, who sometimes even happen to help in Stella's own ''quest''. Cheng is one uptight, judgy Martian ass, unable to relate to anything with an heart or a mouth, despite the effort in trying. Cruz is often mean, as if resentful for something Stella doesn't get. Claymore is one friendly face even amidst the substance induced euphoria, it's nice to be rewarded with appreciation from someone. Knows Donovan, a harmless crazy miner, and Ibanez, a pompous judgy asshole from the Cult. Likes poor Linder, and would like to help getting out of Frost's influence. This one is a violent, racist shitbag, the only thing that protects Stella from that bastard is being an Earther. Okita and Woo are so fun to be around! They know everyone, have been everywhere and always have something to tell! Likes hanging out at Szyslack place. Strongly hates Perrin and everything that the earther represents, even if the two were friends once. Met Whedon once, and got along very well from the start; they liked to have fun together. Adeyemi might be rich but does not behave like a spoiled brat and is so fun to have around! And that Gabrys is a blast: always bringing the craziest stuff to taste: they had the most epic trips together. Every workplace has its own grumbling party crusher, and on Icarus hunt plays that role all too well.
#30 - Emerson Linder, The Earther supporting Belters rights (personaggio interpretato da A. M.)
Motto: This was supposed to be a dream finally come true, and I'll fight to make it so. Never give up! - Work Group: Management - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Linder was born and raised on Earth, out of a wealthy family running a solid business. Life was simple and reassuring, back home, but E. had been fascinated by the Expanse since childhood: over the years the Belt was like a siren song, dangerous yet alluring, ultimately irresistible. The first step was disappointing the family, accepting a job at Kowmang, the second was convincing the (not very enthusiastic) spouse to move to Ceres. Both focused on their careers, for Linder the company was like the child they never had: worthy of attention, care and love. So, when project Icarus finally took off, “not joining” was not an option. Finally, Linder was going to have the chance to actually work with Belters, living among them, explore their culture: a long-standing dream about to come true. Unfortunately, being the spouse of a known racist, a “tumang” and a management employee doesn't help making Belter friends - despite Linder's strong belief in the power of cooperation between Earthers and Belters.
Relations: Linder and Frost are married.
Valdemar is the boss, but has personal problems and should resign. Anyway, the two respect each other during the shift, but they are no friends. Soyinka's skill and personality are yet to be valued, but Linder sympathizes with the colleague. Kenzo might be an interesting acquaintance if they had a chance to talk.
Maathai also cares for Belters and they have become good friends, even if Frost doesn't like this. Stella might be dangerous to have around, but seems genuinely concerned and anxious to help.
Kowalski is a great element and there is a good understanding between them on what are the values at stake here on Icarus.
#33 - Fyodor Rozovsky, The old-school experienced diplomat (personaggio interpretato da M. T.)
Motto: Worlds are made and unmade by the right words. - Work Group: Earth Commission - Origin: Earther - unisex - Advices: Adult/adult looking player. Experienced player - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: What makes a great, esteemed diplomat like Rozovsky is paying attention to detail, while also having the capacity to look at the bigger picture. F. is a master attiming and understanding the audience: the perfect proposal depends on when it is made and to who. F. knows that this type of job comes with no user manual: one needs an ability to compromise, flexibility, and no hesitation in asking for a favor or finding just the right people who can help with a certain matter - even if this gives you the reputation of being shady. F. is known for being a pacifist, one of the supporters of the cold war between Mars and Earth: Rozovsky well knows that an open, armed war would benefit no one, it would just offer easy preys to OPA. No matter what has to be done, or even sacrificed, starting a war would mean destruction for mankind: it doesn't matter what the jarheads think. The diplomat is outspoken on this stance, even if rumors say that the Rozovsky’s family business on Earth wouldn’t gain anything from an open conflict, and that is why F. is such a loud advocate for peace and stalling. Some even think that the old fox might have finally landed the wrong deal, getting such a shitty position on Icarus.
Relations: Trusts Nyman no questions asked, the two have been working together since the beginning of their careers and are now long-time friends. Elliot is bright and ambitious, but has still a long way to go; sometimes mistakes tactics for weakness, the nut will eventually learn. Castillo might be in charge of the other shift, but needs to be kept on a leash and constantly reminded that peace is at stake here. Spoiled brats like Perrin are the reason why Belters hate Earthers so much...until they learn their lesson. Likes talking with Russo about the relationships between Mars and Earth and surprinsingly also with private and coy Cheng, a martian met on the station.
Met Higashi on a previous assignment and was impressed by the Martian's integrity and martial attire. This one is a proud and respected opponent, nothing like that piece of dung that is Dove. Rozovsky hates this one fiercely, it's disgraceful how someone in such a position of power mistreats belters.
Rozovsky recently took an interest in Kassad, it's a training matter, of course. Faulkner is a remnant of the past who somehow showed up on this god-forsaken rock. Keeping an eye on Faulkner's current activities could be useful.
#34 - Ultar Nyman, The watchdog (personaggio interpretato da G. T.)
Motto: Let me speak with my fists, Sir. - Work Group: Earth Commission - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Working for Rozovsky security isn't easy at all. Martians, Belters, OPA, even Earthers have threatened Rozovsky in the last years, so that means only the best bodyguard on Earth could be fit for the job. As Nyman has always said, being trained by the special forces to kill martian marines in a war that never started and then ending up protecting one of the people responsible for the peace, looked like a good opportunity, even if a little ironic. The initial goal was serving the UNN, and that still stands true. Nyman has never travelled so much and so far. Mother would have been so proud if she still lived, and father... Well, that bastard left U. in the orphanage. Maybe that's what taught Nyman not to trust anybody: blood, family bonds, homeworld, even beliefs don't mean a thing in profiling people and predicting their behaviour. Relentless, focused and ruthless, Nyman would trample over anyone to get what needs to be done: that's how the job is supposed to be performed and that's how U. likes to be on a professional level. On the personal level, though, Nyman is quite a mystery, but isn't it the way someone working for the Intelligence should be?
Relations: Nyman would do whatever it takes to protect Rozovski, the two have been working together since the beginning of their careers and are now long-time friends. Frost is one of the few kindred spirits on Icarus, a new acquaintance and possibly a friend, or more... Elliot is a nice person to work with, even an interesting one. Pan is a nice person to hang out with. Nyman draw the unwanted attention of Soyinka, who seems in desperate need of new friends. Salomon looks familiar.
Has an old, deep grudge with Silva.
#35 - Gideon Elliot, A harsh self-made scientist (personaggio interpretato da M. P.)
Motto: There is no such thing as a lost opportunity. If you let one slip away, someone else will take it. - Work Group: Earth Commission - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Born on earth in a poor and rural community, Elliot soon understood stagnation would mean living a poor and humiliating life. So the only way to rise to acceptable standards of well-being was fighting tooth and nail to gain education, knowledge and skills. Climbing the social and political ladder on Earth was not an easy task, but Elliot's ruthless pragmatism and opportunistic view of the world proved invaluable. Elliot was lucky and far-sighted enough to learn how to pull the right strings and managed to start a scientific and political career. The scientific department is held in great regard within UN, and Elliot succesfully used every sort of ''grey area trick'' to win people's support and fuel a bright, skyrocketing career. Elliot repaid the trust of UN's top shots a hundred times, putting Earth's interest above everything else. However, seeing how things work in the Expanse left Elliot disgusted. Most of the belters just sit and whine about their misfortunes and about how life is unfair, but none of them actually does what it really takes to improve one's life. Elliot knows what it means to be born with nothing, and can't help but despise belters, who are only able to complain or resort to violence.
Relations: Nyman is a good officer who can be ruthless when needed, but lately seems a little too distracted. Just when extra care is needed to keep those belters in check. Rozovsky is literally a living legend in earth's interstellar diplomacy and is indeed worthy of the utmost respect. However, sometimes Rozovsky seems to grow a little soft about some issues, and needs to be respectfully advised and prodded by a younger colleague. Russo is a naive idealist, whose dangerous ideas must be kept in check. Vodyakin is another moron born under a shining star. Looks like that pampered dirtbag is the weak spot in the red planet's commission, and Elliot likes putting pressure on weak spots. Valdemar should keep both eyes open, before this rock turns into an OPA operation center. Too bad the manager seems deaf to all those alerts Elliot sent to the management office. Nagata is another spoiled brat kicked away from earth. This one thinks every human being is equal, and that's something easy to think, if you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. As soon as Nagata makes a wrong move, Elliot will be there to take advantage of it.
#42 - Loop Hume, The Muscle (personaggio interpretato da D. D.)
Motto: It looks like the only one here making an effort not to kill you is me, and I'm getting bored. - Work Group: Space Travelers (civilians) - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Backstory : You are a tough, expert veteran who left the army because you disagreed with the officers in a mission. Being ruthless and having a clear, practical mind helped a lot when working as a soldier for hire, bouncing from place to place all over the System, carrying out any job available – no matter the danger, just having an eye on the wages. Life as a mercenary perfectly fit you for many years: you work, you get your hard-earned pay, you enjoy all the comforts you can buy until you're dry, then you move on to another job. Life is easy as long as you don't have morals and you know how to take it: nothing will surprise or scare you, and most importantly, hurt you. Except, when it does, everything changes. After a long time spent recovering, you (or what you had become after ''the hit'') needed a job and joined the crew. It was clear to see that you struggled with the past, and acted moody and grumpy from time to time; the new member performed the tasks without flaws or complaints, and yet sometimes you were off, far away, or suddenly shaking, or speaking just a little too slow. But the crew didn’t care about any of that and never asked: that’s why you never left them, and probably never will.
Personality : You’re a tough guy who has seen too much and lived too much. Probably your memories hurt you more than you pretend to feel. You are feeling somehow lonely.
Relations:
Whedon likes to tease and mistreat you , and that's fine, as long as the trouble is being paid for. You know Whedon thinks you’re stupid, but if Whedon doesn’t cross the line you’ll behave. Until you lose your patience.
You usually don’t like newcomers: Roux has recently arrived. You don’t trust Roux and you don’t like to be surrounded with people you don’t trust.
The only one you really give credit to is Gavras , the old veteran who knows how hard life can be. You two understand each other. Gavras gives orders, you follow the orders. That’s it.
The other one, Jensen, is just too lovely. You really don’t understand how someone like Jensen has survived in this world. Maybe because people like you have given Jensen the protection. And yes, you like Jensen. Too stupid, too needy. But a good guy.
Gesset is definitely too elusive: big blabbering mouths are the first to die, usually. Whatever, you couldn’t care less.
#46 - Isaak Nagata, The overwhelming remorse (personaggio interpretato da M. S.)
Motto: And when life gives you lemons, make lemonade... with vodka. - Work Group: Scientific Lab - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Nagata’s five senses differ from the ones of other human beings.
The first is the sense of duty, and it's fundamental to fill in the gaps of other scientist colleagues, achieve objectives and set an example.
Cunning is the second sense. Some people think intuition is a gift, but Nagata always believed it's an exercise in perception, showing it off while leading an important RnD team on Earth in the past.
The third is the sense of justice. Nagata learned that during the exile in the Belt. Belters, Earthers and Martians have the same red blood in their veins, and therefore they are all equals.
To face bouts of depression, Nagata had to find and develop a fourth sense: humour. The scientist found it at the bottom of a bottle, and developed it through crunching powerful drugs. It’s true that with a big smile on your face life just surprises you every day.
Last but not least is the sense of guilt. It is the most important of all. It grew up from a serious mistake in Nagata’s past, living at the scientist side ever since, despite no one being emotionally equipped to carry the guilt for so long. And now Nagata is on Icarus station, leading a new team of scientists, and needs all these senses again, especially the last one.
Relations: Wolf is a clever colleague, but impatient. There are too many mistakes in the hurry, and Wolf did already one.
Aki claims to be recognized as a brilliant researcher. Too much self-esteem can sometimes be dangerous.
Keller is a good second, maybe too attentive, sometimes too surly. Nagata would drink and chat with Keller.
Leon is always kind and ready to give words of help.
Soyinka is the belter spouse of an earther friend on Ganymede, guested Nagata in his/her house when in need, and is a good belter with no hatred towards inners.
Voyakin is a kindred spirit, but is also a person who brings unwanted attention.
Back on Earth Nagata had the chance to meet Connor: the two worked in the same facility for a short time, but it didn't lead to a very close relationship.
Laing is quite weird and seems interested in getting to know Nagata better, maybe for professional reasons, or maybe to feel less lonely?
Elliot has all the negative traits an Earther could possibly have, and being in the Earth Commission made Elliot a dangerous person. Like a shark, Elliot is always on the move and always searching for prey, and prodded Nagata more than once showing a brazen racism.
#56 - Kaspar Vasiliev, The weird genius (personaggio interpretato da C. C.)
Motto: Are relationships what actually make us human? - Work Group: Comms and Radar - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: K. Vasiliev has always been a weirdo, even before the Asperger’s diagnosis. This syndrome is a serious condition, but unfortunately people think it's a disease to be made fun of. K. was an intelligent teenager unable to understand others' normal, who tried hard to be part of this regular life, the same regular life that despises diversity. The result was to be frequently bullied, dog eats dog, they say, and this quote is true on Earth, as well as everywhere else. To escape this harsh reality, Vasiliev turned to a virtual world. Computers became best friends: online gaming, chat and other virtual spaces were tools through which K. was able to be a confident and brave person, and a functional one even on a social level. It was not surprising that Vasiliev got a job in the communication technologies sector. How many lovely friends to dialogue with! Virtual voices with virtual names. Nobody could hurt anyone. All of them were just interesting personalities, expecially one: L. Yu. They met each other in a sex chat. Romantic relationships can be particularly tricky for people like Vasiliev - but one must try and overcome limits, so their last goodbye was a promise to get together in person on the new Icarus Station. And now, after this leap of faith, Vasiliev feels this is a completely new life: didn't expect to be in charge of the shift, and wasn't sure about meeting in person with Yu, so everything looks like a challenge.
Relations: Yu has a pretty voice, is kind and pleasant. Vasiliev tries to spend time together as often as possible.
Kwan doesn't ask a lot of questions, and so Vasiliev loves working with this subject. Sometimes Kwan is harsh on the outside, but what about the inside? There's something strange about that Belter.
Zarani is too noisy, young and inexperienced, Campbell is no better. Vasiliev is well aware of having a serious problem to face. B. Moses is nice, and seems interested to get to know Vasiliev better.
#59 - Marcus Raven, The cynical guard (personaggio interpretato da G. C.)
Motto: Nobody can be trusted - Work Group: Security Star Helix - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Mankind is flawed, people are selfish and false, and a best friend can turn out to be the worst traitor of all. Raven was really hurt in the past by the someone the guard considered a best friend. Now M. well knows that nobody can be trusted. Life is hard and violent, and needs honest and straight people to feel safe and defend the truth. Every person can hide secrets, and Raven will uncover them, especially if the rotten apple is among cops. If Icarus needs a watchdog of watchdogs, here's one perfect for this job. Even if this leads to loneliness, or if Raven has to bear hateful glances every day and feel left out, the truth is more important, and honesty should be preserved. Raven's mission is to uncover enemies and corruption, to destroy conspiracies and traitors, to make Icarus clean and secure, especially during the Omega shift. This guard is loyal to the assigned mission, works hard and gets results due to persistence and determination. Raven could become a perfect leader, incorruptible and proud.
Relations: Frost is a decent person and a good cop, also to share a drink or sometimes a talk.
The relationship with Silva started out as sparring, then drinking together, but then they both needed a connection and got closer and closer.
Mackinney is a violent bully, whom only the boss can keep in check.
Nowak, a Star Security Helix rookie from the Alpha shift, is trustworthy and very honest, and if Nowak becomes a friend Raven could ask to keep an eye on any irregularities on the Alpha shift.
Suri was a best friend in the past, but treason is like a poisoned knife, it hurts over and over.
Moses is too lazy to be a good cop.
Lee should be watched closely.
Guerrero doesn't seem to be the right boss for this group, a leader should take more care of subordinate ones.
Castillo is the UN Marine Corps Captain and is a very strong leader, even if too racist with Belters and Martians. Raven met Castillo during the first missions and thought Castillo was a very honest person.
#60 - Seth Lee, The Atoner (personaggio interpretato da V. C.)
Motto: “And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment.” - Work Group: Security Star Helix - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: No place is distant enough to keep someone safe from the whispering demons of remorse and regret, not even the forsaken rocks floating in the cold, uncaring space of the Belt. Lee ran as far as one could, to the blue shores of Earth and the crawling sprawls of Ceres, and yet the demons were already there, waiting. Many times S. tried to change a life no longer bearable, only to fail over and over again. As a last resort, Lee used the privilege of earther origin to get inside Star Helix. It was a way to force change - or to die trying.
Now Lee is a cop. And a good one, too. Somehow, it’s like Lee knows the way criminals and terrorists thinks better than they do. And yet, despite the undisputable value of Lee’s skills, the other members of the team keep their distance from the brooding agent. Perhaps because of the dark past which Lee never says a word about. Or, perhaps, because of the earther origin.
Lee doesn't seem to be too bothered. There is something else on the cop’s mind. On Icarus, the old demons will be waiting. Will S. be able to stay on the atoner's path?
Relations: Frost is a driven cop and probably a good captain, surely someone in need of a friend or two in the station. Mackinney is a violent thug, but the boss keeps P. in check. Moses is the only Star Helix agent that truly respects Lee.
S. strongly despises Raven, since that violent and cynical thug represents the monster Lee could have become.
Has mixed feelings towards Guerrero: S. likes the boss' determination but not M.'s methods nor the strange talks Guerrero sometimes gives. Tries to ignore Mackinney: one day the two will have a showdown, but Lee wants to delay that moment for as long as possible.
#63 - Galena Perrin, The spoiled Earther "royal" (personaggio interpretato da S. C.)
Motto: Gold doesn't mate with shit. - Work Group: Earth Commission - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: To be born from a rich and important family on Earth means to have an advantage in this world. Many claim this privilege has to be constantly checked,that you have to earn it. For G. Perrin, that's just not true. To be born lucky, cunning and clever shouldn’t be considered a crime. Life is short and it must be enjoyed to its full extent, after all. Parties, cars, and -why not?- drugs, were all habits Perrin had. The family fortune was a result of the parents’ work, the most important investors in the extraction business. Beratnas Gas on Icarus was one of the investments. For every glass of expensive wine, Perrin would laugh at the thought of Belters' sweat making G.'s luxurious lifestyle possible: those Belters would never taste that expensive wine. Then, the Beratnas Gas disaster came. It was a tough blow on the Perrin family's finances and on G.'s life. In a couple of years, the family's finances almost dried up, so Perrin got a job: a high profile one, thanks to helping hands high up the food chain, of course.
''It's time to prove you live up to your name. You will go to work on the new Icarus station. Even if it is no longer ours, you will be an official in charge of checking that everything is in order''. This was the last video-message that Perrin received from the parents before embarking for the asteroid. Thanks a lot Mom and Dad... Thanks a lot... assholes.
Relations: Castillo is an orderly boss that wants everything going like clockwork. Castillo cynically shows disappointment about Perrin's role on Icarus.
Stella is an old acquaintance, but the two hate each other now. Rozovsky has got eyes on Perrin, and those aren't kind eyes.
Miambo's father was the worst terrorist in the Belt. An old proverb says: ''Same blood, same sins''.
U. Moses is friendly despite their different origins. Chatting comes easy.
Petit poses as a pedant teacher, but sometimes this Martian has good suggestions. Perrin had a disagreement with Russo. Since then they have kept arguing about racial issues.
#64 - Nathan Castillo, The strong captain (personaggio interpretato da F. C.)
Motto: Earth is the mother of all people - Work Group: Earth Commission - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: In this universe of chaos and anarchy, mankind needs strong leadership and drastic, resolving actions. Earth was the cradle of civilization, and should be loved and respected. The ones who denigrate or damage Earth should be punished, and considered an enemy. Lousy Belters and fucking Martians don't understand that without Earth and Earthers they would be nothing at all: they probably need a strong and hard lesson to understand who's in charge. Castillo is a captain of UN Marine Corps and leads the Earth Commision on Icarus during the assigned shift, but while this righteous soldier wasted a lot of time and opportunities for noble reasons in the past, now it's the time to finally be ambitious and to aim for higher assignments. Castillo is the perfect marine, and deserves to become a general one day: Castillo is waiting for nothing less than proving to be fundamental is ending the Martian rebellion. Peace is for the weak, and Castillo has never been weak: right now, N. is also getting tired of being patient. Belters are either disgusting space cockroaches or terrorists, and Martians have to be busted and defeated. The universe must be explored and owned by the right people, Earthers of course. And the scum that will try to block these plans will pay in blood and tears.
Relations: Rozovsky might be a legend, but sometimes actions are better than words: someone should teach a lessons to whoever crosses Earth's path.
Perrin is too spoiled and fragile to work in the Belt, better go back to G.'s rich family or grow up, fast!
Russo is a criminal and half way there to be called a traitor in Castillo's opinion, and should not be here. Better watch out for this doctor's actions. Raven is a good, strong and honest guard. Castillo can trust this person.
Demeter is the only Belter that could become a good mate to relax and have interesting conversations. So nice and smart!
#65 - Alice Russo, The former doctor without borders (personaggio interpretato da I. Z.)
Motto: Human rights must be for everyone, otherwise they should be called privileges. - Work Group: Earth Commission - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Many believe that doctors and nurses working on asteroids like Tycho Station, should just perform surgery and patch people up, no opinions or speaking up. Not doctor Russo! You take an oath as a doctor that everyone should be taken very seriously, and Russo absolutely did that from day one. Unfortunately, sticking to those ideals didn't turn out well in this doctor's carreer.
“If any of us, any of us humans, is currently suffering, is sick or hungry, it has to concern everyone. Ignoring the suffering of a human being is always an act of violence, and among the most cowardly.” Those were Russo’s last words before being involved in smuggling meds on Tycho Station. There was a radiation accident, and Belter workers were badly exposed and surely condemned to die. Russo didn't wait for any official approval, moved a cargo full of meds destined to an Earthern facility, and dispensed pills to contaminated people.
The doctor was caught, stood trial and lost the license as a temporary measure. Luckily some of the UN top officials are actually decent people, who still appreciated what Russo did for Earth over the years: the former doctor was assigned to a consulting job, and sent to Icarus as a punishment, or more likely as a test. Now Russo is considered both a hero and a traitor for what happened on Tycho Station. It depends on the way you look at it.
Relations: Faulkner is one of the few Earthers on the station who really understands what it means to be on your own. Surprisingly likes talking with private and coy Cheng and -unsurprisingly- with experienced Rozovsky about the relationships between Mars and Earth. Silva and Adeyemi are curious and noisy; Russo even reported the latter's behaviour to management.
Kalu is also from Tycho, and Russo is happy to have that nice and chatty Belter around.
Russo had a disagreement with Perrin. Since then, they have stayed clear of any discussion about race. When Russo received the assignement it was pretty clear the going to Icarus was a punishment, but it didn't look like it until Castillo showed up as the one in charge of the commission. Clearly, the captain was the punishement!
#73 - Samira Weintraub, Someone who's looking for answers (personaggio interpretato da V. P.)
Motto: I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Weintraub sometimes jokes about having three different lives: the last being a Miner on Icarus station, and apparently a very enthusiastic and committed one. The two previous ones were: being a well adjusted Earther with a good life and a family, first; and then a stone-broke human wreck on Ceres, saved from misery and self-loathing by meeting L. Madaki and remembering what happiness means. That's all S. likes to share about past times, but this new life really feels like a breath of fresh, newly recycled air, as if being on Icarus energized this Earther to reach a full potential again. The new job and the pointed interest on Icarus' present and past are the focus of Weintraub’s life now, and of course having Madaki’s support and affection… even if they are not the lovebirds they used to be back on Ceres.
Relations: Silva resembles the old Weintraub too much for the two to get along, that's why S. never capitulates when the other one tries to start a fight. Madaki and Weintraub were in a happy and strong relation when they arrived on Icarus. Agarwal is a tough boss, but toughness and competence are not the same thing, isnt'it? There's something weirdly interesting about Lagos, like a constant aura of disaster surrounding this belter. Kenzo is a new acquaintance, one that S. is trying to nurture. Sun is a moronic junkie.
#76 - Cain Silva, The scarred vengeful Earther (personaggio interpretato da R. C.)
Motto: You'll get what you deserve. Truth is going to get out. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: When life takes everything from you, there is only one way to carry on: becoming bitter, cynical and vengeful. Too curious, always digging with a good nose for a juicy story, back on Earth Silva thought there was more to be told in that messy story about the old Icarus station, that “accident”. Then came betrayal, losing the job as a journalist, losing the hard-earned reputation, and ultimately even losing the people C. used to call “friends”. All of those things made Silva a new person. Being forced to leave the Blue Planet for the Belt, Silva bitterly laughed when, out of a job, ended up on Icarus, joining a mining team despite being smart and overqualified. That’s what a ruined reputation does, even on the Belt: thanks for that, mother Earth. It's rumored that C. got the job in the mines only thanks to some connections ''upstairs''. As a miner, Silva is hardworking, but at the same time complains about how life has turned out to be. The Earther has been changed into a Belter, the worst kind: those who are bitter and angry.
C. is scarred, spiteful, doesn’t hide an arrogant sense of entitlement and the need to take revenge on those who ruined what used to be a good life.
Relations: Can't understand why or how Weintraub can appreciate this shitty life. Often tries to bicker with the colleague, and the other's refusal to join the fight only makes things worse. Madaki is finally discovering the truth about life and expectations on others... this is making them closer, even if you don't approve the relationship with Sun. Agarwal seems really interested in their wellbeing and Silva likes the boss, even if sometimes get reprised for that bleak attitude. Has a strong friendship with the well-wala Soyinka which comes by no surprise, considering Silva's liking for Belters. Got into a fight with Mackinney, they both hate each other ever since. With Raven Silva had started sparring, then drinking, but then they both needed a connection and got closer and closer. Whenever possible goes sparring with Yu to blow off some steam. Knows Russo and Pavlov by fame. Would like to know more about Miambo senior, but so far, junior F. Miambo is uncooperative and discreet. Silva is plainly hostile towards Nyman.
#78 - V. Connor, The meek and weak scientist (personaggio interpretato da A. P.)
Motto: If you're not born with the heart of a lion, you can't grow one yourself. - Work Group: Scientific Lab - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Every colony is run not just by the strong-armed, hot-tempered, quick-to-act workers: sometimes a meek and humble fellow needs to provide brains and accuracy to manage the facility. Connor is that fellow. A reliable scientist, hard worker, a bit of a brainiac if you will: definitely an Earther you can count on. The only problem is that sometimes people tend to not even notice that Connor is there. In the science team, Connor's voice is rarely heard, and prefers to work without much contact with others: a lesson learned years ago, when bullies were a constant problem. The solution was easily found: all work, and no talk. Behind the big brain, a shy spirit hides. After all, science is much more interesting than people, or politics. Connor is a truly harmless geek - but everybody knows that it’s the calm ones who must feared. Who knows what schemes and projects unfold behind those quiet eyes?
Relations: You would never imagine such a nerd indulging in pleasures such as booze, yet Connor is often seen at the canteen, where there seems to be a sort of acquaintance with Ortega.
Connor keeps away from Adeyemi, and had to report the nosy colleague's behaviour to management once.
Connor doesn't trust Echo either: despite being a good scientist, the drugs can be dangerous for such a troubled mind.
On the other hand, Laing is a genius, a real scientist: visionary, daring, outside the box. Connor envies that intellectual bravery.
In the lab team, Connor simpathyzes with Van Dez, a broken spirit life evetns forced to a weak but decent position.
Everybody notices how Connor gets very nervous in the presence of Dr. Constantin, who provokes a sort of dread and awe.
Kenzo is the manager that Connor sees as a sanctuary, and to whom the scientist often goes to report harassment and misbehaviour by other colleagues.
Back to Earth Connor worked briefly in the same facility as Nagata: the two met each other, but didn't develop a deep bond.
#85 - Fujimaro Nasser, The rehabilitated convict (personaggio interpretato da A. D.)
Motto: Everyone deserves a chance to change - Work Group: Food Lab - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: When your own mother betrays you, one could even forgive and forget, but when she insists in stabbing you behind your back, then love and affection could vanish. That's what happened to Nasser. Born on Earth, but from a poor family, Nasser was forced to grow up in harsh conditions. Bad companies led young F. to commit some petty crimes, like theft and minor drug dealing. When the police caught Nasser in the act during a small robbery, the judge decided for maximum penalty, without considering the extenuating circumstances. Nasser was deported to a high security detention colony. The only silver lining there was the chance to learn how to work in a food lab: that was crucial in finding a job on Icarus station, once free. Icarus could be Nasser's second chance to a good life away from Earth. Problem is, when you have spent years learning to be tough and aggressive, watching your back, putting on an arrogant look that screams self-confidence, it shows. Nasser looks exactly like a convict, or a soldier: even if Nasser is looking for a simple and quiet life, the old ways might be hard to die.
Relations: Waybourne always finds a way to get elusive when Nasser is around.
During lunch hours Nasser and Echo have recently become acquainted.
Scott is an idiot, but in prison Nasser met much worse, and the two get along quite well. U. Moses is a likeable boss, and Nasser loves to spend time with this nice person, and not only during working hours. Stiegsen complains about Moses everyday, but Nasser doesn't care too much.
Nasser has overheard N. Zarani talk about being challenged to a boxing match, but the kid looks nothing like a fighter: Nasser proposed to show Zarani some moves, half out of curiosity, half out of pity.
#96 - Carlos Hayfeld, An embittered engineer who bears an old grudge (personaggio interpretato da M. M.)
Motto: If you think that playing by the rules will get you far in life, think again. Playing by the rules only gets you screwed harder and faster... - Work Group: Reactor Room - Origin: Earther - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Before turning into an embittered and resentful outcast, Hayfeld was a brillant, optimist and hard-working engineer and researcher. He was part of an independent think-tank on Earth, and together with other talented scientists, C. devised a clean and efficient way to improve reactor core shieldings. That invention could have changed Hayfeld's career, but something happened and the engineer's life was ruined. Hayfeld was discredited by the UN scientific community, and nearly siphoned every credit available into a personal crusade to find out who was responsible of such a horrible demise. Hayfeld's obsession slowly destroyed every trace of optimism, replacing it with a burning desire for revenge, and over a few years a brillant engineer turned into a cold and calculating schemer whose sole driving force is revenge. Bitter and isolated, the only job position Hayfeld managed to find is on this forsaken rock, floating around in the Belt.
Relations: Baz acts strangely, and is definitely hiding something. Hunt is a talented and skilled professional, a painful constant reminder of how Hayfeld was just some years ago. Balas constantly tries to meddle with Hayfeld life, and such intrusions are not welcome. Gallo is the manager who gave Hayfeld a second chance on Icarus, something that will not be forgotten. Moretti clearly misunderstood Hayfeld and failed to see the desire for vengeance. In that colleague's eyes Hayfeld is just a poor and broken wretch.
