Maddox is the son of two poor Drawkians who've lived in a lot of places. They started out living in Akkor Beach, a large port in the west of Drawkland. His parents weren't the shadiest of characters, but they weren't good with money and would get wrapped up in various schemes. They slowly moved westward, ending up in New Drawkia, Ralyssia for awhile, and then in Zlevecky for most of Maddox's childhood. Eventually they were shot and killed in a "random" drive by shooting but Maddox swears there was bad blood involved. Growing up in the hyper advanced age, Maddox was very interested in technology, and learned from various tech support people from places he grew up. He wasn't the best kid. He grew to crime at a very young age due to his close proximity to it all, barely managing to survive on occasion. The city where he grew up had a prolific gambling scene, and he grew to be proficient in betting games and deception. Weapons also piqued his interest as well as technology, and he got his hands on as many guns and devices as he could, just to see how they work. He's a tinkerer at heart, whose upbringing sent him also in the path of a tight-lipped criminal.

Nowadays he generally skulks around bars, taverns, and seedy areas around the Trallena system, looking for quick jobs. He has his own small ship, enough for a crowd of about a dozen or so and to carry most cargo. He generally pilots by himself. He doesn't like travelling to Sonnel that much because he feels like too many people know him there. Or maybe he's in denial because it's still a sore spot because of his parents. He hasn't really figured out what he wants to do with his life yet, he just keeps smuggling and gunning and hoping something happens.

Altos was born on Rymeth, a life bearing but primitive moon of Talcent. The Pronguaskan people are a nomadic race who follow the quickly moving tide that engulfs half the planet every year, hunting from the land and fishing from the sea. After being kidnapped as a young child by slave traders, he was taken to Purgamentum, another one of Talcent’s moons which is used by Oteshknir, Lanthorian, and Vandectel as a junkyard. He was sold to the Opal Hawks, one of the salvager factions who live on purgamentum, and forced into hard labor. He became skilled at repairing many damaged and discarded electronics and won favor with his masters through this over the course of many years, until he made his escape using the trust he had built with them.

Altos sought refuge in the territory of the Spirit Eagles, a rival salvager faction that does not practice slavery, where he could be free. He used his skill with electronics to become a relatively successful technician, and was particularly skilled at creating weapons from various pieces of salvaged tech. This caught the attention of many notable figures in the spirit eagles faction, who offered him large quantities of money to take down leaders of the occupant faction in the dump zone currently being caught over, which were the Opal Hawks. Seeing the opportunity for revenge, he accepted and discovered he was a very skilled fighter. This began a long career as a mercenary.

He can often be found tinkering with broken electronics in his workshop, or hanging around many of Purgamentum’s bars and cantinas seeking work. He is known to be very stubborn when it comes to his pay rate, likely from his history of being a slave, and always takes revenge on those who refuse to pay him. He is known to be able to hotwire, splice, or hack into any computer or electrical system with ease, and is a dead-eye with his custom built guass gun.

Lorias, like most Brytils, was born on Lysis to a Brytil Queen, and was immediately sent for schooling. The Brytils were a large and fearsome race, possessing colonies on nearly countless worlds, they controlled over 1/4th of the galaxy single handedly. As he was growing up, Lorias proved his exceptional skills not only in combat, but in leading his own troops into battle. When the Brytils led an attack on Mushcap, Lorias almost met his fate at the hands of Paceman, yet for whatever reason, Paceman decided to spare him, leading to a silent pact between the two to never truly try to kill the other whenever they met on the battlefield. After the Brytils put in one last giant attack on Mushcap, Paceman decided he had had enough, and went to put an end to the Brytils once and for all, only sparing Lorias in the process. After the fall of Lysis and its colonies, Lorias set out to with something he never possessed before: true independence. With no queen or empire to tell him what to do, Lorias could become his own man.

Fast forward years later and Lorias has managed to pilot his own spaceship: Queen, fit together with its own crew, weapons system, and cargo hold; Lorias and his crew have become mercenaries for hire.

Leaxe grew up on the plains of Old Cumberland. His father was a farmer and a minister. The second of fifteen siblings, Leaxe nevertheless chafed under his one older brother, who often gloated that he would be the one to inherit the family farm. After receiving a standard Old Cumberlandian education, Leaxe spent an obligatory three years in the military, where he joined the fledgling Old Cumberland space program. He learned to pilot spacecraft, and participated in the launch of Old Cumberland's only orbital station. He reenlisted after the three years were up, and went on to design and pilot many more spacecraft. He was content with his job and rose through the military space administration. He gained an in depth knowledge of spacecraft, and studied the achievements of more technologically advanced nations. After he'd served for a total of twenty-three years, an anti-tech and anti-spending party won the national elections and drastically cut back the space program. Leaxe was dismissed and was forced into a civilian life that had no need of his knowledge of spacecraft. He was now 45.

He tried to open a trading post, but it proved unsuccessful after a few years. He began to study law, but his funds ran dry before he could complete his studies. He wandered around Old Cumberland doing odd jobs, working as a hired gun, farmhand, and law consultant. In his travels, he picked up the skill of surveying, a profession in which he eventually found employment. He worked as a surveyor from the age of 63 until the age of 68. He retired to a small shack in the Eastern Old Cumberland Mountains, resigning himself to a death while poor and alone. But at age 75, he was offered a contract from a foreign industrial company to act as a pilot among the moons of Talcent. He jumped at the chance. Whilst he was in transit, the company fell apart, and upon arrival Leaxe was kicked out, without work. He was hopeful, however. He was near the end of his life, but he felt travel among the moons could be his last great adventure.

He has visited many of Talcent's moons, never staying long on any. He works when he needs food, but doesn't accrue any large expenses. He's there for the experience, and travels on foot through town and wilderness, befriending the people and wandering the landscapes.

While Astromechs were originally planned to merely be helpers to the humanoid Ghirpurian spacefarers, a freak development accident caused the VQ line to be pushed over the AI threshold for non-citizen droids. This was a serious breach of regulation and production was hastily stopped, but not before a dozen or so A models were produced and necessarily given the rights appropriate to their software. They proved to be stellar pilots in their own right, able to remove the any delay between an astromech's advanced situational anaylses and the pilot's reaction to that information. Soon each of the VQs were raking in huge salaries flying freighters for the major corporations, and A6 became especially renowned for navigating exceedingly dangerous situations successfully under the less-than-reputable banner of Fallen Star Incorporated. Fallen Star would, predicatbly, suffer a great fall of their own when their shady practices were dragged into the daylight some sixty years ago, and A6 has smartly kept away from Sonnel since, instead setting up its own lucrative salvaging gig on the outer rim, eventually settling in Purgamentum's junkyard.

While A6 still has some Ghirapurian smuggling connections, most of its business is conducted through selling off its big scores through the various gangs when it's not something that can be productively welded to its own freighter. It took a while for it to be taken seriously, with its short non-humanoid appereance, but between its plethora of self-defense mechanisms (including, but not limited to, a high-powered taser, a pair of retractable minicannons, and a healthy supply of homemade shrapnel grenades) and its preternatural ability to find the one functioning piece of electronics in a flaming wreck, people started listening whenever A6 played a holoclip of an old pulp drama (its main form of communication with organics). It's also accompanied by a small repair droid, who is mostly around just in case A6 royally screws something up and needs extensive maintenance, but also occasionally uses its slim profile and quiet operation to help out during "deals". (Imagine a roomba with a knife duct taped to it.)

Apsuk Vayur was made in a lab at Milae dosi, Korjuven Ruggirico sattelite colony by Korean speaking Juven scientists that inhabit the moon of
Ruggirico. The goal of these scientists is to create the perfect human and they believe they'll be able to succeed that only if they speak a
languange not spoken by large Juven populations, somewhere remote. Apsuk Vayur is the 3rd generation of that experiment, an artificially created
human called an Iksian that stood out from the other Iksian people for his agility and strength, as well as his intelligence and ability to reply
quickly and efficiently on most given situations. In 5320, Milae dosi, Apsuk's hometown was engulfed in some sort of internal city conflict, on
which he fought until 5324, when he discovered his genes were coming from a planet called Sonnel and that a population there, called the Juven, was
his own tribe. Upon returning to Sonnel he quickly learned the Juven martial art of lotta veloce(meaning fast fight, which is his strongest point).
Despite the mutual unitelligibility at first, he quickly learned italian as well, to communicate with his Juven counterparts, gaining fame all over
Juvencus for uncovering the Korjuven experiments in Ruggirico, thus making the Juven Holy Interplanetary Empire collapse and break into smaller federations.
But before he could be arrested for such actions, he quickly escaped to Talcent, not knowing what is ahead of him. He's ready to do anything and everything
in order to fend off for himself.
