Colonel Tierce Elation Verethegna, le cavalier avec un cheval étatisé de la Parsamyan

Player: Lurker

Elation is a dark-skinned slightly built Commonwealth Cavalier, otherwise unremarkable save for the blades of white and black feather-like plumage instead of hair. Her extensive body modification is subtler - though no less extensive - than was the fashion for Rifters before the Unification. Even her headwings, the most arresting feature of her Rifter heritage, fold up neatly that they are easily hidden as a layer of her haircut.

Tierce Elation Verethegna is a Cavalier with a Public Horse of the Heron-Ibis Standard, third . Her public record indicates 27 cumulative years of levee and volunteer service, including successful matriculation through several staff colleges, before she went on half-pay as a Cosmoforce Colonel.

Hyacinth of Morningstar

Lord John Bahrami

Player: Lokar

Mysterious Phoenician nobleman either slumming or cooling his heels. Actually not that mysterious, totally not someone traveling under the name "Guy Incognito"... Totally not. Really. >.>

Samira Theresa bint Abdielle Norouzi

Player: Ent

Background: Mercenary

A new arrival to Big Sky, Samira comes at the behest of General Integrated Systems, her current employer. Tight-lipped about her mission and background, Samira leaves those who encounter her guessing, the hired gun’s only hints to her nature being a few trinkets, an old and well-maintained cavalry sabre, and the prototype plasma scattergun lent to her.

Sir Valiance von Elias

Player: MW

Background: Noble Knight

Valiance, often called "Val" by his friends, is about as close to a disenfranchised knight as you can come without actually having the title stripped away and your name run through the street as that of a traitor. Raised within the courts of the Gramhau March, he learned how to work his way through society and earned his knighthood through noble and righteous means. Much to the dismay of Valiance, his family ran afoul of the other barons and was stripped of their noble rights by the Margrave after a long and arduous period of political warfare, but thanks to his distinguished service, Valiance managed to just dodge the disenfranchisement of his family name.

Stripped of his greater nobility and feeling like he has nothing left to offer the Margrave directly or the Empire at large, he has struck out to Big Sky with his remaining possessions to bring back honor and nobility to the Elias name.

Charlotte Éclair

Player: Holle

Background: Spy

It is the solemn duty of the Jardin Republic to liberate the oppressed people of the Empire (from their pastries)

A rather corpulent yet nebulous woman with fondness for dark coats and a sweet tooth, whose family has guarded their secret recipe for pączki for a hundred generations. (or so she claims) Charlotte might even be her real name. Maybe. I mean, it is a real name.

A consultant in matters of military and security, she’s been rather busy in the Big Sky during her stay here so far, the nature of the locale meaning that the expertise of an – admittedly former – officer of the Jardin Navy, supposedly purged for political reasons during the series of upheavals that took place there a while ago, is in relatively high demand by those with pirate and pirate-related problems – Kendal being the most recent one. Still wears an uniform, for marketing reasons if nothing else.

Has certain hints of a rougher and more checkered past than her admittedly very boring-sounding CV presents, but ultimately, as long as the outcomes check out, does it really matter? She certainly doesn’t think so.
