Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Korwun Gorik

Gorik is a krogan warlord who was initially retired when he came to the CDN. Recently he has started his own mercenary unit based on Omega, named AEGIS, with the goal of defending the everyday folk who live on the station who usually get screwed over by the various criminal gangs who operate there.

  • Big Damn Heroes: Gorik and Dawn pull their own version when a friend is kidnapped by slavers.
  • Blood Knight: As affable as he may be, Gorik is still a krogan. He loves a good fight.
  • Chaotic Good
  • Cool Old Guy: At 732, he's not the oldest poster on the board, but he's definitely up there.
  • Papa Wolf: If you mess with his comrades or threaten his friends, there will be hell to pay.
  • Badass: Gorik was a mercenary for almost 700 years, he's survived that long for a reason.
  • The Atoner: Gorik worked for slavers in his youth, and now he feels that he has a debt to repay by freeing other slaves from their captors.
  • Warrior Poet: He is surprisingly well read for a krogan. Gorik appreciates poetry, music and the writings of Sun Tzu.
  • We Help the Helpless: The motto of AEGIS.

Bo Timothy Kross (Kage)

A former marine, Kage left the Alliance and turned mercenary in order to better provide for his family back on Earth. Is currently employed with AEGIS

  • The Alcoholic: Is quite fond of the occasional drink or two.
  • Arch Enemy: On the boards, Dreket
  • Catch Phrase: "Welcome to the Madhouse", his personal welcome for any new members.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Has been hinting at this, primarily revolving to his leaving of a small merc group called the Scimitars.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Has his moments.
  • Don't Tell Mama: Has kept the more shadier aspects of his occupation private from his family.
  • Fantastic Racism: Absolutely despises the Vorcha race.
  • Jack of All Trades: A competent soldier who is neither a biotic, nor specializing in any unique skills.
  • Lawful Neutral
  • My Occupation Doth Protest Too Much: Kross often operates under a set of ethics or standards that he feels, separates him from the average perception of a merc as a murderous psycopath. Part of why he joined AEGIS in the first place.
  • Nice Guy: For a merc, he's quite friendly towards people who don't try and kill him. Does have his limits though, primarily against slavers or people whom he finds annoying.
  • Noble Bigot: Long as you aren't a Vorcha, he's relatively laid-back towards most people.
  • Noodle Incident: Why he left the Scimitars
  • Screw The Money, I have Rules!: Though he's a merc, he tends to stay away from any jobs that he finds unethical.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Red wine, or for that matter, any combination of good food or alcohol.

Dawn

A human born in the slums of the parisian suburbs, Dawn left Earth at age 13 (or maybe 14). She's been around, settling on a human colony, then leaving to visit Illium, Imorkan, the Citadel, and eventually Omega; she soon found a liking for the station. Now aged 21 (or 22), she clearly has it in for slavers...and batarians. Batarian slavers. This hate was born from personal and, obviously, unpleasant experiences with the aforementioned population.

Thel'Adean vas Tinketta (Techie Pilgrim)
