Cerberus Daily News/Characters/Systems Alliance: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

A licentious Alliance Diplomat, and operative working for the clandestine operations division of the Alliance Intelligence Services, and does whatever he can get away with on the side.

 

* [[Consummate Liar]]: Of the Truth Twister variety

* [[Crazy Prepared]]

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: His depravity applies to ''nearly'' [[Anything That Moves]], ''but'' he is above propositioning children (aside from engaging in [[The Jailbait Wait]] for older teenagers) and [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|nonconsensual encounters]].

* [[Friend to All Children]]: One of his [[Pet the Dog]] characteristics.

* [[Squick]]: He'll do it with just about anything. Seriously.

 

Captain of the Alliance heavy cruiser ''SSV Indianapolis'', Thomas Carmichael is a native of Earth and a survivor of the Battle of the Citadel. Unfortunately, his time spent on the edges of human space fighting slavers and pirates, combined with seeing ''Sovereign'' cut a sizable hole in the human fleet, has made him somewhat jaded and bitter. If he manages to shape up, he'll probably make an excellent starship captain someday.

 

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: His ship was part of the Alliance's reinforcements during the Battle of the Citadel.

** His rescue of Gunny Tritt's squad also qualifies, being as last-second as it was.

** He recently followed this up by running through another meeting holding a Russian nesting doll and yelling about needing to find an airlock.

* [[Death From Above]]: Specializes in this, being captain of a half-kilometer-long cannon with engines attached.

* [[War Is Hell]]

 

A human biotic by birth, a lawyer by training, and a techie at heart, “Procul His” (a pseudonym, Latin for "Beyond these Things") is a former prosecutor on Terra Nova who, after surviving against incredible odds, now finds himself part of an elite team of the Systems Alliance Ministry of Justice with the mandate to catch bad guys anywhere in the galaxy. Swearing equally by his skills with a briefcase, magnum, and bio-amp, he does his best to put bad people behind bars. And his best is very, very good.

 

* [[Always Gets His Man]]: Incorruptible and multi-talented. Plus, the agency he works for is [http://www.cerberusdailynews.com/?p=701&cpage=1#comment-29841 "small, but good."]

* [[Chick Magnet]]: [[Deconstructed Trope]] with James. [[Unwanted Harem|Apparently all the ladies care about]] is his... ahem... [[Power Glow]].

* [[Secretly Wealthy]]: His parents made a lot of money playing the stock market, but they not only [[Non-Idle Rich|kept their day jobs,]] they gave most of it to charity and [[Genre Savvy|didn't even tell their son about it]] so he wouldn't [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense|blow it all on himself]] (when one of his close friends found out about James' family money, it [[Berserk Button|touched a nerve]]).

* [[Sure Why Not]]: After readers kept noting how Procul His seemed to resemble James Bond, James became the character's name.

* [[Think Nothing of It]]: Frequently heard.

* [[What You Are in the Dark]]: Used to be a JAG in the Alliance Navy, until he was asked to help cover up a war crime. No dice.

 

Jaquento is an Operations Chief with the Alliance Navy. He is currently responsible for the Alliance Tower's Electronic and Network Maintenance on the Citadel. Jaquento enlisted a month after the attack on the Citadel. Prior to this, he had job training as a technician for Systems and Devices followed by a BA in Computer Science (VI programming).

He went through shortened NCO training, as well as additional training as a Designated Marksman when his Drill Sergeant noticed his good aim.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His Phalanx heavy pistol and his Viper sniper rifle. Both are modded to suit his needs.

 

A grim veteran with sixteen years in the Corps, including mopping up the Skyllian Blitz and action on Eden Prime, Gunny Tritt has made the military his life. He managed to survive a Blue Suns assault on his outpost with the help of Arbitrary's mercs and an orbital bombardment from Polaron's cruiser. He wandered the galaxy making new friends and trying to find someone he can maybe start a relationship with on furlough following that. Having met a rather nice lady and spent a luxury cruise with her, he's now back on the line, whipping the crew of the ''SSV Agincourt'' into shape.

 

* [[Walking the Earth]]: Spent his furlough knocking around the galaxy making new friends and trying to find someone he could start a relationship with.

A self-described "paperwork monkey" (despite actual paper being more or less nonexistent in your average workplace), working at the Alliance Embassy. Also a biotic, but doesn't get much use out of it.
