Personaggi visualizzati: 10
#1 - Alan Salomon, The friendly supporter (personaggio interpretato da T. H.)
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.
#2 - Bhuyan Donovan, The station's lazy conspiracy nut (personaggio interpretato da R. W.)
Motto: We are just waiting to get fucked! - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: Donovan has always been the team’s burden: even before the accident, this lazy ass of a Belter used to complain about the job. B. has always hated mining, but it got worse after witnessing the death of a colleague during the first days on Icarus station. Debris fall on heads and crush skulls… and B. should know, that’s what happened! Now Icardi is dead and Donovan is alive by sheer luck. Since then all the whining has become innocuous ravings about how the rocks attacked people on purpose, but everybody knows Donovan has always been rash. B. has become delirious about how ''someone'' is using Belters as slaves to mine whatever shit lives in the rocks - they want that for themselves! One day it's Earthers, the following some Big Pharma company, then a crazed AI; sometimes they all conspire together. They use Belters like tools to get something they want and make them mine the same thing that killed Icardi, ate Donovan’s brain and is going to fuck up everyone else! Donovan is curious and determined to find out who is involved, what is going on, and save everybody's asses and take vengeance on those responsible... whoever they might turn out to be. Medical staff said that the miner’s reaction was caused by the shock, and it soon will pass. So now Donovan is pitied by everybody, also because the poor thing is harmless: when not ranting, B. is very nice, gentle, kind, has never hurt a fly, and never stops smiling while eating anemic instant mashed potatoes. Donovan just wants to be helpful, tell what happened and warn everyone about what is going to happen. People caring for the miner just want Donovan to recover, and fast.
Relations: Salomon is the only friend and trustworty one on the team, which is surprising for an Earther. Berg is scary and often threatening, so it's better to keep a distance!
Donovan doesn't get half of the shit Lagos, who is obviously just a weirdo, talks about. Kowalski is a tough boss to please and has threatened of reporting Donovan to management. Agarwal and Donovan worked on Eros together and hate each other, luckily they now work on different shifts.
Since the accident Kalu has become Donovan's best friend.
Deeply attached to B. Moses, Donovan's rock and life partner, together they have achieved the shared dream of a big family, of which also U. Moses, who is always caring, Echo and Raisin, are part of. The latter is one of the most recent acquisition, chatty and pleasant, even if sometimes a little edgy. Ibanez, one of the preachers of the Cult they both are part of, is an old friend from Eros with a strong influence on Donovan. Dr Faulkner is the one who patched Donovan up after the accident, someone to go to for advice on anything.
#3 - Janika Lagos, The penitent (personaggio interpretato da L. O.)
Motto: Coherence tends to drive history to less tolerable directions. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: It happens that an asteroid can change its trajectory, because of the stronger gravity of another planet. Human behaviour is often similar to the asteroid. Traumatic experiences were the gravity in J. Lagos' life. They are not logical, and so they're more powerful than any ideology. How many deaths can a conscience bear? J. Lagos knows it very well, and thus chose to work on Icarus Station. During mining and drilling shifts, J. builds the future by analysing the past, in order to avoid old mistakes. It’s very hard to have to keep your head down while being harshly berated by your boss, and to bear the load of this dangerous work - nonetheless, Lagos is more and more confident that the miners, and all Belters, need a non-violent way to achieve their rights.
Relations: Donovan is never going to learn from past mistakes, probably being too stupid, damaged and crazy. A similar mindset and brilliant conversation with Maathai formed a bond, but now this relationship is growing stronger and they have to come to terms with being a Martian and a Belter. Berg is as stupid as the asteroid itself, and sees the universe only in black and white. J. Kowalski is not a very supportive boss. Scolding and insults are often around the corner. Weintraub and Echo seem very interested in Lagos: the first seems suspicious and aggresive, the second is simply friendly.
#4 - Helios Berg, The dull hard working miner (personaggio interpretato da J. L.)
Motto: Space is made of rock. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Advices: Possibily fit and/or big body - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: There are those who fancy the stars, the openness, the deep cosmo; those who imagine themselves flying wild and free across the galaxies, exploring universes and going where no man has ever gone before. Most people, on the other hand, only experience the ugliest and hardest part of space: the heavy duties in the tunnels of the mining stations in the Belt. Screw the fancy space pilots: space is made of nothing but solid rock. And so is Berg. People didn't leave earth to fly, but to dig, to work, to fight, to fuck. Proving their worth is only a matter of hitting hard on solid walls. Nothing is soft and easy in this life, and Berg reminds of this simple truth in every action. Some say Berg's mind is dull as a rock as well, but what does it matter? Loyalty to work, friends and allegiances is the only thing that can keep you alive in this universe. And so is crushing opponents and enemies.
Relations: Berg blindly trusts the shift leader Kowalski, both on and off work.
Lagos is a funny character: a good fellow, but a little sloppy and absent lately. Berg sometimes thinks it takes just a kick to make an ass move, but Lagos is a friend, and deserves everyone's respect.
Donovan, on the other hand, is just a whining sack of wind and vinegar: one of this day Berg will seal that crying mouth shut with one fist or two. The same goes with Salomon, always lecturing about “peaceful talk and no violence”, what a wuss.
Some uppercuts and jabs have been crossed with Kassad but Berg is not made for the hardcore discipline of the trainer. A good official match could be the chance to prove that brutal force can overpower the fanciest training. Maybe Berg will have the chance to blast that Zarani redneck for good, and put an end to that smug insolent face. Another person who deserves to be put in place is the radio comm Ibanez: Berg doesn't like the anti-OPA propaganda that comes from the radio room.
Back on Eros, Berg met with captain Whedon: the rude miner still blushes when talking about their encounters.
#5 - Julius Kowalski, The competent mining shift leader (personaggio interpretato da T. S.)
Motto: It's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Shift: Alpha
Teaser: There's no point in denying it: work on Icarus is hard. Hard and dangerous. No one knows that better than Kowalski, the experienced and trustful chief of the Alpha shift. Kowalski wasn't born with the instinct of a leader, but having started mining work since a young age, Kowalski learned pretty quickly that only one thing matters: efficiency, and the safety that ensues. A mine is not a place to fuck around, gossip, shit talk, backstab or anything likwe that: you need to suit up, dig, and come back in one piece. That's all. This is a team leader's only objective, and Kowalski makes the best effort to achieve it. Whatever helps, is done: a friendly ear to a discontent worker, a diplomatic attitude between the management and the team, a proud stance against the ones who threaten miners' well being. Even the competition with the second shift team is kept to a friendly level. Kowalski might not be the strongest or the most charismatic chief around, but sure as hell very few are this competent and honest, and no one could ask for a better boss. A truly well-rounded hard worker, Kowalski is always seen around the station, busy talking to anyone, from workers to management: there is no one on the station who doesn't know the mining boss, and if someone seems to forget, Kowalski is the first to step in to get introduced: good manners, friendships and alliances can save your ass down there.
Relations: Wherever there are teams, competition grows: it encourages the workers to do better, and creates strong bonds. The rivalry with team Omega never exceeds to a outright competition, and Kowalski respects the colleague Agarwal.
Kowalski needs to keep an eye on Berg whose simple spirits often need a guidance, even when it runs full-throttle in the right direction. Lagos is a great miner, but driven by a sort of weaknees which makes Kowalski sad, and even angry sometimes. The hardest worker to keep under control is Donovan: too scared, too nervous, it feels like it would take just one more push to crack. Kowalski can count on Salomon, an efficient miner, always strangely in a good mood. Even a bit too much for a miner, actually. Kowalski works hard to keep in good terms with management: Linder seems the one who mostly understands the workers’ needs. Ortega is the Star-Helix member Kowalski knows best, and they are often seen talking.
#73 - Solar Weintraub, Someone who's looking for answers (personaggio interpretato da L. F.)
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.
#74 - Lazlo Madaki, Unadapted to Icarus (personaggio interpretato da N. R.)
Motto: Love can solve everything - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Madaki had a life, some time ago, a nice and quiet life back on Ceres. It wasn't that exciting or special, but it was quite a good one. When L. found S. Weintraub in the streets, homeless, the Earther was a wreck with no purpose and no joy in life, and needed serious help. Madaki had always been a kind person, and knew from experience that sometimes all you need is a little gentle push to get back on track, and a little lovin' to find balance in this life. That's how it started with Weintraub, and then they just fell in love. Madaki listened and cared about Weintraub's tragic story, felt for the loss that the poor Earther had to endure and wanted to be there to help no matter what. Weintraub got better, and Madaki felt that encouraging the partner to finally find peace would have made their life together finally perfect. That's why leaving Eros and the old job to get both hired on Icarus station to find some answers looked like a good idea. But now that they're here, that's a living nightmare. Of course, Madaki has asked Weintraub to move back to Ceres, but Weintraub doesn't care much about L.'s opinions anymore. That was the moment when drugs and alcohol started to show some appeal, once again.
Relations: Agarwal, the boss, has already said Madaki should work more, and caught L. pretending to be ill twice. Weintraub is the reason Madaki came to Icarus, they used to have a strong and intimate relationship back on Ceres. But now it's different. From the very first day Sun has shown to be a kindred spirit, and the person to turn to when Madaki feels down and unhappy. Sun also has a lot of friends, and L. really needs friends and entertainment right now! Baz seems an interesting person.
Silva seems understanding, and fuels Madaki's resentments for the situation with Weintraub.
#75 - Pedro Sun, The Void (personaggio interpretato da G. F.)
Motto: Only the shallow know themselves. - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: It takes a certain degree of effort to remain shallow when exposed to the unfathomable infinity of space. Sun applied all possible energy to this end and always avoided deep thought as much as other people avoid empty restaurants, not out of stupidity but with a canny resolve to be happy. This miner’s life is constantly swinging between the dullness of work shifts, often exacerbated by legendary hangovers, and the hollow pleasure of leisure hours, be that drinking, dancing, singing, fighting, gambling, doing drugs or making love.
It goes without saying, Sun is surrounded by friends. Many enjoy hanging around with this cheerful miner and P. welcomes them all, under only one condition: no serious conversations, life is already boring enough as it is.
Relations: Sun doesn't get along that well with the other miners: both Silva and Agarwal are so dull, boring and serious all the time, while Weintraub is plainly a pain in the ass. Only Madaki knows how to have some fun.
Luckily for Sun, the miner has found others, outside of the team, that do enjoy a good party. They have formed a loose circle and often get together to drink or get high with whatever they can. The group consists of: Woo, N. Zarani, M. Campbell Adeyemi, Waybourne, Baz and their favourite bartender Yu.
#76 - Ceasar da Silva, The scarred vengeful Earther (personaggio interpretato da H. K.)
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.
#77 - Hoël "O.L." Agarwal, The proud miner (personaggio interpretato da T. B.)
Motto: Belters are the system's backbone, miners are the Belters' - Work Group: Mining Team - Origin: Belter - unisex - Shift: Omega
Teaser: Everybody has their own place in the universe, and so do Belters. They are workers. Speculating about how this came to be could be interesting, but pointless. Right now, everyone should realize that without belter workers, the whole Sol System would have collapsed by now. Who would break the ice to provide water? Who would mine the caves for precious minerals? Who would dig the rocks to build stations and new colonies? Belters are born for mining and they should be proud of it. On the other hand, Inners should understand that ftreating workers fairly makes them more productive, happier and less violent.
Agarwal is the perfect miner and started to work at 14 on an icebreaker ship, worked hard for years, and now takes pride in the outstanding experience and knowledge gained. In the spare time H. reads a lot of books, and knows about history, philosphy and politics: discussing those topics is one of this Belter's favourite things. But Agarwal also knows how hard it is to make the workers' rights respected: if only everyone could understand their place and respect each other, humankind could conquer the whole universe. In the meantime, Agarwal tries to inspire awareness and peace, and never looses a chance to shine as a mining team leader: proud of the burden of taking care of both the extraction levels and other miners' well being.
Relations: There is a feud with Kowalski: it's all about honor, and proving who is the best miner's team leader. The two of them respect each other and this has been and will be a fierce competition. Worked on Eros with and hates Donovan a lazy ass Agarwal reported to management back then. On Icarus, this one got involved in a tragic accident, so now the miner is also paranoid. Agarwal doesn't envy Kowalski having Donovan in the team. L. Madaki is way too lazy: the miner got caught twice pretending to be ill in order get out of work shifts. Weintraub looks like a more engaged worker, but something doesn't fell right with that one. Sun needs a change in attitude.
It's not easy to find someone who shares your political views, but Agarwal found a good mate in A. Balas and they spend a lot of time having very interesting discussions on how OPA should operate, speculating about politics, history and philosophy. Even if Silva is a hard working miner who might have seen a fair share of injustices to become that bitter, that can't be an excuse to behave like the Earther is better than anyone else or to fuel fights among the crew.
