Name: Evangeline 'Angel' Kassian/Samantha Grey
Race: Human
Age: 23
Position: Freelancer
Rank (if applicable): N/A
Appearance: Hazel eyes, with dirty, wild blonde hair that's cut shoulder length and often covered in a dark cap or hood. She wears dark-coloured, practical clothing; Alliance-issued cargos, t-shirts or wife beaters, hooded, slightly baggy jackets, fingerless gloves and steel-toed work boots. Tall, has a lean, fairly flat-chested build, and is slightly tanned from her time spent working the farms on Eden Prime. She has a permanent gauntness to her face, courtesy of both to her lack of food growing up and her addiction, which only serves to further enhance her sharp, almost mean features. In addition to her patchwork right arm, her knees, elbows and back are a mess of scars from squeezing through tight places before she could afford thicker, more protective clothing.
Personality: While not unfriendly, she is mistrustful of others and purposefully keeps herself at arm’s distance from everyone. When people ask her about her past or her injuries she either deflects the question or simply lies outright. Very practical, she keeps herself as distant from her emotions as she does other people. Stubborn, cynical, and with a black sense of humour that can be quite harsh, she easily loses patience with optimists, seeing them as naïve. She can, when necessary, put on the charm or the intimidation to get what she needs, but she prefers to avoid public confrontations as they attract too much attention. Due to her struggle with addiction, she doesn't touch drugs or alcohol. Very creative and with lots of mechanical experience, she is adept at jury-rigging devices out of scrap parts, though her electronic skills are only basic. Proficient with pistols and submachine guns, she is also very talented at hand-to-hand combat, as her smuggling days often took her into situations where no weapons were allowed.
History: Born on Caleston, Evangeline moved to Omega at a very young age, her mother wishing to be a 'proper family' with her father, an Eclipse merc. In less than a year her father walked out, leaving Evangeline's mother with a small child to raise and almost no money. Her mother, who had been a mechanic on the eezo refineries of Caleston, opened a small machine repair shop, and although creds were very tight the two of them scraped by. Her mother trained Evangeline in the mechanic trade, and even at a young age Evangeline showed a knack for coming up with creative, cobbled machines made from nothing but scraps.
As Evangeline grew older, she began to sneak out and explore the city of Omega while her mother was working. She soon discovered the often untraveled maintenance shafts and vents, and devoted almost all her spare time exploring them. She soon became more familiar with her district of Omega than residents who had lived there for decades.
A month before her tenth birthday, the Blood Pack made an aggressive expansion into Eclipse territory. While Evangeline was out exploring, Blood Pack mercs assaulted the market where her mother worked. By the time she returned, the battle was over. Evangeline's mother was gone; she was neither among the corpses or the cowering survivors. Evangeline returned to her apartment and waited, but her mother was never seen again.
After a week the food in the apartment ran out, and Evangeline began her life on the street. She stayed alive by stealing, but she was often on the verge of starvation. Eventually, she grew desperate enough to try and steal from an Eclipse merc - the merc spent almost an hour chasing her through the dark passageways of Omega. He caught her, and rather than shoot her, was impressed enough by her evasion skills he offered her a job as a drug runner in exchange for food and petty cash. Evangeline accepted.
Evangeline, affectionately known as Angel among the Eclipse, proved as creative at smuggling as she was with machines. In the next six years she became one of the most reliable Eclipse smugglers, running red sand, Hallex, and dirty eezo all over the Terminus systems.
At 17 she was put in charge of Eclipse's Citadel distribution unit, and under her leadership they made a number of expansions. On her 18th birthday she was granted a full Eclipse membership.
In the celebration party that followed, she experimented with red sand for the first time. Within two months she was sandblasting daily, and the funds she had built up over her career quickly vanished. She began dipping into the very drugs she was supposed to be smuggling, and it was only a matter of time until Eclipse caught on.
Fleeing the Citadel, she stowed away on an Alliance transport. When it arrived at its destination - Eden Prime - what small amount of red sand she had managed to take with her had run out. Desperate for more, she visited one of the dealers she had dealt with before, only to find two Eclipse enforcers waiting for her.
Though she won the fight that followed, her entire right arm was crushed by biotics in the struggle. Half dead and unconscious, she was taken by a passing citizen to one of the free clinics. With extensive use of cybernetics, synthetics, and nerve graphs, full functionality of her arm was restored, but the clinic did not have the medi-gel to spare for aesthetic repair. Evangeline woke up to find her arm a mess of metal, plastic, and scar tissue, and spent a week in the clinic in severe withdrawal.
Disgusted with her addiction, once she'd gotten over the worst of the withdrawal she signed on under the alias Samantha Grey to work as a temporary farmhand on an isolated agriunit, far away from any red sand. She grew to enjoy the simple work, and extended her contract. For two years she worked on the unit and as a mechanic on a transport ship to Mindoir.
While Evangeline was on one the Mindoir trips, Eden Prime was attacked by the geth. The agriunit where she worked was destroyed. Evangeline, still using her alias Samantha Grey, now hitches rides from planet to planet, doing odd jobs and keeping a low profile.
Homeworld: Caleston/Omega
Name: Serge Lukyanov
Race: Human
Age: 42
Position: Systems Alliance
Rank (if applicable): Gunnery Chief, SSV Odessa
Appearance: 'Built like a brick shithouse' is probably the most adequate description of Lukyanov's build. Standing 6'4 and close to 300 pounds, the man is bulky but moves with the grace of a boxer. Short cropped dark brown hair that's started turning grey at the temples, with broad facial features and pale blue eyes.
Personality: Very friendly and laid-back, with a permanent shit-eating grin on his face. He has a huge bellowing laugh, and loves taking the shit out of his fellow crew members, though it's always in good fun. He takes his duty seriously, however, and knows when there's time for jokes and when to shut up and follow orders. If it fires bullets - or any other sort of ammunition - he knows how to use it, and how to maintain it.
History: Born in Moscow, he dreamed of joining the Alliance ever since his father showed him a broken old model of a dreadnought. Growing up, he worked on his father's farm with his two brothers until he turned eighteen, when he signed up with the Alliance. A career soldier, he's a veteran of many battles, including the Skyllian Blitz and Torfan.
Homeworld: Earth
