main article: Henrik Langstrom
Henrik is a LFO weapons engineer for the military, a position which carries with it the rank of Captain. He sometimes sells his knowledge to rebels and freelancers to supplement his income. He also enjoys lifting... when he's not drinking. Henrik used to be pretty upbeat, but he became more and more morose after the Second Summer of Love when his parents died. He was ambitious enough to make captain quickly, but had little desire to take higher command positions. He blames the military for the Second Summer of Love, and by extension blames himself. He has also become prone to anger over small problems with his co-workers and subordinates. At the same time, while he was once cool under pressure, he has become completely aloof in tense situations. He hates when people call him "Hank."
Martha Paul
main article: Martha Paul
Lieutenant of the mobile force squadron David leads.

She's friendly, out-going, and possesses a strong sense of duty. She's more approachable than her superiour David and is the object of a few soldiers' affections. In fact, she's more loyal to him than to the military itself. Her outspoken personality compliments her captain's stoic bravado rather well.

Growing up, she admired her father in every sense; to her, her dad embodies everything a man should be.
Samson Masters
main article: Samson Masters

He has a strong sense of justice, but that doesn't stop him from breaking the rules if he feels he must do so to help someone close to him. Samson's background also earns him a certain amount of scorn from people. While on the job he's very comptetive and works very hard. He is also competative with David Gray, as Samson's noble background often puts him ahead of David in the military causing a lot of friction between the two and causing them to compete to prove who is really better at their job. But while off duty his overall his general personality is very cheery and earns him friends in lots of places. Samson is of noble background, When he was young he found himself wandering the city one day and happened to enter a shop that belonged to Evan Clancy's family. He met Evan and they became fast and very close friends.
Other Civilians
Abeland Kreigrard
main article: Abeland Kreigrard
Abeland is a human experiment and knows a little bit about the world but after being abducted and experimented on he is very nervous, jittery, and timid around large groups of people and especially women. As a result of the experiments Abeland has the ability to fly on trappars, much like an LFO or reff board.
Ella Sutherland
main article: Ella Sutherland
Ella is generally good-humored and amiable, although she doesn't go out of her way to socialize and probably seems like kind of a homebody to people who don't know her well. She's intelligent and sensible, although some would consider her unsophisticated since she still hasn't fully acclimated to city life. She doesn't really like fighting, but she's wrassled enough animals and put enough sassy farm boys in their places to be able to hold her own when she needs to. She also gets kind of crabby when things don't work the way they should. She's recently graduated from university and is trying to figure out what to do with her life. She had kind of by default planned to go back home and take over her parents' farm, but that "land" was part of what disappeared when part of the scub coral left Earth during the second Summer of Love. So now that her work at the university is over, she's kind of in an uncertain time in her life.
Isaac Solon
main article: Isaac Solon
An eccentric scientist and self proclaimed "fallen angel". He was raised as a firm believer in the Vodarek teachings, and at a young age(around 6 or 7) he joined up with the more misguided members(the terrorists). In a fight with the military, he was shot in the eye and captured. He was used in an experiment to see how an anti-body coralian organ would react with that of a human. (a precursor to their eventual plans to create their own coralians) The experiment was fruitful; they learned much of how the human body reacted. His body initially rejected the coralian, and it caused him much pain and suffering. His body eventually grew to accept the eye, and for some reason the scientists could not explain, the coralian eye seemed to be somehow adjusting itself to it’s new environment, as if it wanted to be part of a human. The scientists believed the experiment worked, and they had a grand stepping stone to further coralian research. Things did not all go as planned, though. One day they did not properly lock his cell, and that night, he tried to escape. He was caught by security, and the scientists questioned whether they should kill him. It seemed as if his role was complete. Scared for his life, the coralian inside his body reacted, and space began to distort and disappear. As for hobbies, he enjoys keeping up on whatever is happening. Fashion, science, cooking, fads, it doesn’t matter to him. He just enjoys the new information. Doesn’t care for fictional books, he’d rather be shaping his own life story than reading about some fake one.
Jon Talbot
main article: Jon Talbot
A voderac priest, Jon is usually smiling and manages to put pretty much everyone at ease with his warm, friendly face. Although he tries to see the positive nature in everyone and everything, he can also be surprisingly realistic for someone so optimistic, often expecting and even preparing for the worst, but still believing that things will turn out alright in the end. This applies, most especially, to the current situation with the Voderac cult and the new rise in resentment towards his faith. He likes talking with people about their families and personal lives and helping them through whatever issues they may be dealing with, even though it’s usually none of his business. Very little is known about Jon before he joined the Voderac faith. Even what Jon has mentioned about his family can’t be taken at face value, since his family members and who they are tend to change with each of his stories. It has been inferred by many that he might in fact by a former member of the military, as is evidenced by the disciplined way he carries himself in a crisis and his “plan-ahead” way of thinking.
Maurus Brainerd II
