This is the first time I've drawn a few of the main cast, let alone all of them in one picture. Aura looks like a gremlin here.Imaged from Left to Right: Recon Sniper 'Imani Malik', Field Scientist 'Aura Chen', CQC Expert 'Bastion Grey', Pilot 'Isaac Atcheson', and Team Captain 'Nora Long'Pictured here is Planetary Survey Team ATLAS, one of the hundreds of pathfinding teams working for Arcadia. Their job is to survey, research, and analyze alien worlds for their resources, flora, fauna, and location for the purpose of mining and colonizing. Arcadia is devoted to the peaceful exploration and research of deep space; privately funded, it was founded by the Kahn family in the year 2164 and has been owned and operated by them since then. Mandus Kahn is the current Executive Director of the company, and personally inaugurates every new team into the Corporation annually, at least every Galactic Basic Year [One Earth Year]._____________________________________________________________________Imani Malik is a level headed, silent but deadly Reconnaissance Sniper. Her job is to survey great distances with her telescopic eyes, as well as provide covering fire during firefights, or while dealing with hostile native organisms. She is from the moon of Basilisk, a rocky slum world with acidic rain and a reputation for gang activity. Despite such horrible living conditions, she grew up to be a very mature, honorable soldier and, once retired, a fantastic Planetary Surveyor. She had the chance to become Captain of Team ATLAS herself, however, she turned it down, stating that it was easier for her to take orders rather than give them._____________________________________________________________________Aura Chen is a hyper active, clutzy Field Scientist. With child like enthusiasm towards her job, she loves exploring and discovering new things! She grew up near Beijing, China, on Earth. Born to a rich household, her and her brother Kai were very sheltered as children. She was not allowed to explore outside the large 20 acre property, and homeschooled until the age of 18, where she then went to University to study Planetary Science, things such as Biology, Astronomy, Meteorology, and Geology. Due to being homeschooled and secluded for the first 18 years of her life, she often has trouble socializing with others, and at times disregards peoples personal space. Though they lived a pampered life in a mansion with their mother and father, Kai desired to see the galaxy, not just read about it in their lessons. He wanted adventure, a life worth living, so in the night he ran. To where, nobody knows... but Aura, determined to find her long lost brother Kai, joined Arcadia in hopes of one day being reunited with him once more._____________________________________________________________________Bastion Grey grew up in the aquatic cities of Jupiters moon Europa. Despite being stoic as hell, he has a heart of gold and, although dry as the desert, a very good sense of humor. He lived a simple life with his Mother, who taught him things such as cooking Europan classics, cleaning, and reading and writing. Due to his father falling ill and passing away during his childhood, Bastion had to leave school to work to help pay for their Apartment in the lower levels of the City of Juniper, the crown jewel of Europa. Bastion, once he turned 18, joined the Security Force, protecting the streets he grew up in with a heart of passion. But one day, he saved the life of an Arcadia official who was wandering the slums of Juniper. The Arcadia Official, in an effort to repay the debt, offered Bastion a job as a Planetary Surveyor. Afterall, he met the requirements of having at least 4 years in an Armed Force and he seemd more than capable of handling even the worst scenarios. Bastion was slow to accept the idea, but his Mother convinced him that getting out of his home town could do him some good._____________________________________________________________________Isaac Atcheson, a humble farm boy from the Breadbasket of North America. An extraordinary pilot, he verst dabbled into aviation with his Father as a kid, piloting an classic sporty propellor plane from the dawn of aviation in the 20th century. His father also taught him how to properly care and repair these flying machines, and cemented a profound love for the sky in his young, impressionable mind. Isaac, after completing high school, earned his Freighter Certificate and got a job moving cargo in orbit, where he worked for a few years, before he had enough and just needed more in life. A certificate for flying space freighters isn't enough to land you a job at Arcadia, but when they saw how much of a natural pilot he was, they were crazy NOT to employ him! Now he lives a life among the stars, shooting from star system to star system with his friends, but never forgetting those moments with his Father as a kid, his humble beginnings. He credits all his success to him, for with out him, he never would of pursued his passion._____________________________________________________________________Nora Long was adopted at the age of 3 to a rich human family in New York, her father was an Astronomer and her mother, a Doctor. Growing up, Nora was fascinated with space, always asking her father questions and checking out books from the public library. She went to a private school, but her father still taught her Mathematics in their spare time, which Nora excelled in. Though, going to a majority Human school, Quell were often treated poorly by the other kids, especially due to the Rogue War that occured during Nora's school years. But, in times of great sorrow, she made a friend; another Quell by the name of Autumn. Autumn was her best friend throughout her childhood, they would talk about everything, always spend time together, dated on and off, and of course even hated each others guts at times. But they would always resolve their issues. During Nora's senior year of high school, Autumn proposed the idea of joining the military, to fight in the ongoing Rogue War. Nora was reluctant at first, but Autumn was convincing. Autumns plan was to spend a few years touring in the Military, then maybe team up and kick back with some survey work for Arcadia. Autumn always wanted to be a pilot, and Nora definitely had a thing for pilots, so, through some additional sweet talking, she accepted the plan, and come the time, they did join the military. They toured huge, unfamiliar star systems, learned so much about different people and cultures, not to mention foods Nora's never even heard of! During those years, they found themselves, and as the war was dying down, they found that they were happy with each other. However, this new found peace wasn't to last long. Autumn was, regretfully, declared KIA on what was supposed to be a routine security run on the Rogue 'Containment World' Thesius V. The cause of death was a concussive blast, due to starfighter fire in the town of Halcyon. Nora was devestated, her best friend of 24 years was ripped from her life in seconds. Though it didn't feel like seconds, as it was happening it felt like a millenia. Nora after that was never the same, she returned from her tour and suffered from PTSD, slipped into a Euphoria addiction, and rarely ever left her apartment. It wasn't for another year that she began to get her life together. She checked herself into rehab to kick her drug habit, saw a psychiatrist to help manage her PTSD, and looked into the possibility of future employment. That's when Arcadia seemingly knocked on her door. She remembered the plan was to always kick back and enjoy the sights as a Planetary Surveyor, and she thought it'd only be fitting to fulfill Autumns Legacy. So, once her life allowed it, she enrolled, and worked her way up to Captain of Team ATLAS. And whenever things go south, she'll always remember that phrase Autumn would say: The Stars Will Guide Me Home.
