Spessmen profiles: Tell us about yourself...

[Val]

the personality of your spaceman is the personality of yourself. you've mentioned twice now on the forums that you play ~characters~, but that's because you're ridiculous.

also, everyone who posted a "character summary", is actually just an ass. and that's who they play as. asses.

I have one self-insert character, and I just play as I would otherwise then.

I think it's generally accepted that behind all these warm and genuinely horrific 'characters', everyone is an ass at the end of the day. It's game about ass, assery, asses, and assing around in space.

Hold onto your butts - now introducing the 'characters' I may crop up as.

>Name: Danny Valiant -- Sex: M -- Age: 27 -- Blood Type: A- -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color: Brown/Black -- Skin tone: 69/220 -- Occupation(s): Engineer/Electrician
Bio: Hailing from Space-America, Danny Valiant comes as a fresh face to NanoTrasen's new fleet of plasma research vessels. Hired out of an internship program, he has been assigned onto the station's engineering and electronics division and is a fastidious, consummate professional.

When the station inevitably falls into some peril, he can't help but feel like it's his responsibility to contain the matter himself. He is a serious, grim man with a lot of baggage, but is otherwise friendly and unassuming. He also has the best mustache on the station, whether anyone agrees with him or not.
Notes: This is my self-insert character. Honke.

>Name: Rae Aenaemae -- Sex: F -- Age: 21 (16 physically) -- Blood Type: AB- -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color:Red/L.Blue -- Skin tone:1/220 -- Occupation(s): Geneticist/Roboticist
Bio: Rae is a second-generation clone, coming from a family that was well-known in the MedSci Research world as those who could cheat death. Her mother, a geneticist, went insane and committed suicide when Rae was young. Her father, a roboticist, couldn't handle the grief and murder-suicided himself and Rae. Both parents were NT employees at the time of their deaths.

Considering the circumstances, only Rae was able to be saved through their work. She now follows in their footsteps, attempting to further their research in an attempt to learn more about herself and her purpose. She is stoic, philosophical, anti-social and passive. Often found talking to herself or among a small army of clones/borgs.
Notes: No points for guessing who this is supposed to be. Bonus points if you don't point it out.

>Name: Roberto Kelly -- Sex: M -- Age: 34 -- Blood Type: O+ -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color: Black/Black -- Skin tone: 170/220 -- Occupation(s): Botanist/Barman
Bio: A schizophrenic long gone from years of dealing with pesticides/alcoholism, Roberto Kelly is convinced he is the reincarnation of popular 21st century R&B superstar "R. Kelly". Heavily inspired by his songs and the ever-shocking hip-hopera "Trapped in the Closet", he occasionally attempts to describe his situation or otherwise communicate in verse similar.
Notes: That's about it really. For the record, he doesn't piss on anyone, so don't worry about that.

>Name: Fartmaster Flakes -- Sex: M -- Age: 38 -- Blood Type: O+ -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color: Black/Black -- Skin tone: 187/220 -- Occupation(s): Assistant
Bio: Once a budding rap-emcee/space mechanic, Aaron "Fartmaster" Flakes has fallen on hard times and could only put his technical degree so far in the space-labor market. NanoTrasen, upon seeing his previous track record (and record tracks), hired him immediately to fill in on their supposed shortage of assistant talent aboard their many research stations.

Known for his boisterous and fun-loving attitude, Flakes attempts to assist or otherwise entertain himself and the crew with his antics. Every now and then he may quip out some steady rhymes, while preaching the virutes of having 'a fly ride'. He has also had a terrible GI disorder most of his life, leading to his nickname, "Fartmaster". He takes the moniker with pride and often challenges crew to best him.
Notes: *fart

>Name: Val Venice -- Sex: M -- Age: 36 -- Blood Type: A+ -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color: Black/Brown -- Skin tone: 35/220 -- Occupation(s): M.D./Scientist
Bio: A former pornographic actor and freelance athlete turned medical doctor/researcher, Val Venice knows quite a lot about the human anatomy and all the best ways to ease its ills or otherwise break them. He is known to make lewd references and innuendo at appropriate situations, sometimes referring to himself by his stage name of "The Big Valbowski". Despite this, he is a serious about his job and the extent of his studies shows in his work.

A known womanizer. Likes to relax in the cafe or in the lounge when not working. He is pleased with the addition of the fitness center and sometimes can be found there, beckoning others to match his might in the ring of honor. Lately, an old friend of his passed away, with a dying wish to him to find the secrets behind a particularly difficult drink recipe. He has vowed with his life to honor his friend's request.
Notes: His perverted and womanizing aspects are downplayed so much you wouldn't even note them.

>Name: Zack Johnson -- Sex: M -- Age: 30 -- Blood Type: B- -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color:Grey/Yellow -- Skin tone: 25/220 -- Occupation(s): Janitor/Miner
Bio: Zack Johnson came to NanoTrasen as part of the family tradition of working for the same company as a means to find steady work. The Johnson line of employees stretches all the way back to the founding of NT itself, with "Big" Richard Johnson being one of the key instigators to their plasma energy monopoly. He is the elder brother to Long Johnson, Richard Johnson IV, and Gina Johnson.

Coming out of a rough divorce five years in the making, Zack often finds himself cleaning up after himself or digging around where he isn't supposed to be. He is otherwise passive-aggressive and highly suspicious of the crew around him. Prone to substance abuse and fits of anger, sometimes culminating in over-the-top schemes to get back at someone for a petty remark. Likes to go on spacewalks.
Notes: Walk, don't run.

>Name: Richard Butte -- Sex: M -- Age: 44 -- Blood Type: B+ -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color: Black/D.Grey -- Skin tone: 50/220 -- Occupation(s): Detective/Security
Bio: A hard-boiled cop working the beat. He is stern, but fair. Intuitive without being indecisive. He knows that there is no judgement but his own gut feeling. He is the personification of the law and will do everything within his power to uphold it. Also known as a hard-ass by most officers, but no one can argue against his arrest record. A bit of a loose cannon, but he prefers to be safe rather than sorry.

A notorious chain-smoker, known for being the only other person on board who would dare light up a cigarette during a raging plasma fire. The others being the rookie detectives who only do it to look cool. Those who know him call him Dick. So do his foes and anyone he's generally managed to upset. Tends get caught up in cases, only communicating with others when it's absolutely necessary.
Notes: I don't play sec very often myself. Mostly a filler character.

>Name: Lilly Monroe -- Sex: F -- Age: 20 -- Blood Type: A- -- Race: Human --
Eye/Hair Color: Blue/Yellow -- Skin tone: 15/220 -- Occupation(s): Chef/Chaplain
Bio: A blind Scottish woman with fair hair and complexion. Calm, soft-spoken, and elegant would be words used to describe her. As part of NanoTrasen's policy of not discriminating against anyone for any reason whatsoever, she has been enrolled as a cook/spiritual counselor on board the station. She heals others not only through her work, but with her generally kind attitude and warm outward demeanor.

Has a lot of issues within her family and prefers not to talk about it. Likes tea and drinks it regularly, but will try to sneak in a glass of wine every now and then. Had a friend, Hannah Kohl, pass away in a horrific accident aboard Prison Station 22. Sometimes claims to be able to speak to her ghost or feel her presence. Occasionally forgetful, especially when it comes to bringing her prosthetic glasses to work.
Notes: Will actually stumble around and fall until she gets VISOR goggles.
