So you lot are finally awake, huh.

No no, don’t try to move. The drugs those corpo stooges pumped you full of for transport will wear off in a bit. Till then, why don’t I tell you a little story, eh? Well, you don’t really have a choice, so listen up kiddos.

You know your history right? How back in 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to slip the silky bonds of earth's atmosphere and fly free into the void beyond humanity's sheltered home. How a few months later, Alan Shepard became the second. Well, you see back then, space travel was the hope of humanity that would usher in an age of unparalleled prosperity and with it a utopia unknown in all of time.

Those 20th century idiots were sort of right.

As we spread through the system, there was prosperity aplenty to be had, as long as you were the shareholder of a company with the billions of credits to spend. Yes, on occasion, some lone wanderer playing their luck and taking the chances on the frontier struck it rich, but for most of humanity, life got a lot harder.

Now here we are in 2469, where a few people are born to live a life of untold opulence while the rest are born to die toiling to earn enough to buy a lungful of stale air and a splash of recycled water. For most of our kind, destiny now follows birth, which ain't the way it is supposed to be at all. It used to be anyone could make something of themselves if they really wanted to. Not so much these days.

Still, the human spirit is like a cockroach. Just as soon as you think it's dead and gone, it springs up again. For those few souls brave or crazy enough to risk everything, well they can always do as people did in the tales of myth and legend, and run away to sail the solar seas as a Free Booter. The authorities call the criminals and pirates. The corps and their mouthpiece media make them out to be pitiful thieves and beggars. You know what they really are. They’re Legends.

Everyone in on any backwater moon knows how the crew of the Brightwing stopped a frigate from detonating its drive core right above Mars’ biggest settlement or how Malcolm Lawson and his men cut the head off of the snake that was the Belt Gate Water Syndicate when they tried to cut off supply routes to the outer planets. Not all of them are heroes of course, the Sisters of Flames robbed their way from one side of Pluto's orbit to the other and there wasn’t a single spacer who didn’t fear seeing Captain Blisk’s Crimson Raider on the sensors.

Do you know the one thing all of them had in common?

That’s rhetorical, shut ya traps, I ain't don’t yet.

The thing they all had in common was, it didn’t matter where they came from or who they were, they all chose to live by their own rules and seized the opportunity when it presented itself to them. That's how you become more than just a sack of muscle and bones in this system. Sure you might die trying, but at least you would have tried.

Now then kiddos, I’ve yapped enough, why don’t you tell me about yourselves, not that it matters, might help pass the time, though. How'd you end up in a System Alliance prison transport?​

Lore​

Government​

The System Alliance Senate is the overarching government for the whole of the system. Based on the officially neutral and highly symbolic territory of Luna (The Moon) the Senate was originally set up to mediate between Earth and Mars after the secession wars of 2217. Since then its role has gradually expanded to be the ultimate seat of power in the system. Five thousand Vox Populi make up the body of the Senate and officially all are equals. In reality the Speaker of the Senate is the one who sits upon the throne, chosen by the Voices and is widely known to be more equal than others.

The will of the Senate is expressed by what are known as the four hands of Luna.

The first hand are the Justicars. These men and women carry the legitimacy of the Senate. It is their role to disseminate the laws of the Senate and to make sure the local government bodies do not breach them.

The second hand is the Guardian Core. Across the System, justice tends to mean very different things. The Guardians exist to reduce the inequity. A governmental policy agency guardians travel where they are needed to uphold the rulings of the Senate and the Justicars.

The third hand is the Combined Alliance Force, A small but exceptionally well equipped and trained special operations military task force.

The fourth hand is the Agency. Almost nothing is known about the agency. In fact all that is really known is that it answers only to the Speaker of the Senate and its agents have the power and discretion to do whatever is needed to complete their missions.

On a more local scale, Governing is a far more piecemeal affair. While major planets such as Earth or settlements such as The Huwan Colony on the moon of Io have systems of government and statecraft that mirror the Senate, in smaller colonies and aboard ships the Captain or more commonly the owner decides what is and isn’t the law, in accordance with what is decreed by the Senate of course…

Law enforcement
While the Guardian Core provides system wide law enforcement, the truth is the core would need to be a thousand times bigger to provide universal coverage. They act more as a guardian angel force, swooping in where they are needed while keeping a discreet eye on the rest of the system.

Most law enforcement is provided by local forces either paid for by whatever constitutes a state or just as often by the corporations looking to maintain order and their will in the settlements they support.

Corporations
If the Senate is the Ultimate power is the system, Corporations are ones who pull the strings making sure the laws the Senate produces are to their liking. There are thousands of major corporations that wield significant power. While each corp is different, many maintain a paramilitary element to act as their enforcers and guards. Company settlements are relatively common and it's not unusual for a person to be born, live and die all under the carefully calculated care of a singular corporation.

People
The population of humanity stretches into the trillions. Most of these can be found in the central belt of Earth, Mars and the Astroid Belt though there are settlements the entire width and breadth of the System.

Economy
The economy of the system is based on the Universal Credit also known as Creds. A centralized digitized currency that is legal tender all across the system

Free Booters
There is no one true definition of a free booter. Many call them pirates and criminals and that is not an incorrect description. Others call them heroes and freedom fighters. That is equally correct. Really what makes a Free Booter is a drive to live for oneself, not the System Alliance, A corp or some other bullshit institution. Also having their own ship helps.

Technology
(OK so if you want to know why I was delayed posting this OOC, this is the reason. This bit has been a pain. In the end I’ve decided to keep it vague and only bring up a few key bits of technology, the rest we shall forge as we go. If there is something specific you wish to know about, ask and we can work on working out that reality)

Faster Than Light Travel
FTL travel is a reality across the system. The Reach of the System Alliance and its hands wouldn’t be possible without it. Using Alcubierre Gates that stretch and bend the very fabric of space time, journeys that would take years, decades even at sub-light speeds can be completed in a matter of hours and days instead. FTL jumps are only possible between linked Alcubierre gates. The Network of gates that stretch across the system are known as the Webway. Access to the network is controlled either directly by the Senate or subcontracted to the relevant local government or corporation.

Long Distance Communication
Communicating across the system is a matter of using the Coms Buoy Network. Working in tandem with the Webway, this network of relay buoys will bounce a message around the system to get to its recipient. This process can take hours or days and so can only be used for sending messages rather than holding live conversations.

Quantum Entanglement Communicators are the way around this. Using two entangled particles that act in accordance with each other no matter how far between them, a signal can be sent instantaneously across the System. As a bonus, no one can spy on your message in transit either. This sort of technology comes with a cost and is usually only in the hands of high-level government actors and corporations with a seriously over-stuffed petty cash jar.

Cybernetics and Bodily Enhancements
Cybernetics and other personal enhancements are a common enough sight around the system. You guys have relatively free reign here, just keep everything sensible and fun.

Laser Weapons
They are a thing. We can all pew pew. Rejoice.

Backgrounds
Backgrounds aren't just an identity. They are something that can be medically detected. The different environments that humans grow up in leave telltale marks on their body that are almost impossible to reverse.

Earther
People raised on Earth are almost exclusively born into lives of extreme opulence and comfort. Even those whose bank account don’t have more digits than you can count with your fingers live lives of supreme comfort, living as they do on the near garden paradise earth has become. Menial tasks are nearly entirely performed by virtual intelligence guided robots. Generally the lowliest of people on Earth are acclaimed chefs or Lawyers talented enough to bill obscenely by the minute.

Colonist
This term generally applies to people raised in settlements on planets or moons. Martians for example are still considered colonists even though as the single most populated planet in the system the term colony no longer really applies. The rule of thumb is that the settlement shouldn't need artificial gravity. Life experience as a colonist scales the full range of the human experience. The cities of Mars can provide a comfortable metropolitan life if you have the skill whereas life on one of mercury’s moons is not for those with any hint of weakness.

Belter
The under-appreciated powerhouse of the system, the asteroid belt is home to almost uncountable settlements. Generally these settlements last for no more than a few decades, surviving only as long as whatever resource there is to be harvested from the asteroid it is based on. Some of the larger belter settlements have survived the depletion of their home, having reinvented themselves as quasi space stations. For most life in a belter settlement is back breakingly hard with little reward. Artificial gravity is a necessity in these settlements. The term Belter also applies to people from settlements on free floating objects outside of the asteroid belt.

Spacer
Some are raised never having set foot on natural dirt at all. Spacers are those whose life is spent amongst the stars, sleeping to the hum of thrusters and water recycling plants as they drift across the system. Some spacers come from great flotillas of nomadic peoples, others just grew up on spacecraft because that was the life they were handed.​

Rashed AlAkroka.jpg
(Art by: Rashed AlAkroka)
Name: Sierra Moreno
Age: 30
Origin: Earth Born - Southern European region
Gender: Female
Appearance: Of an athletic build (139lbs/63kg), average height (5'7"/170cm), black hair, olive green eyes, permanent scarring on the left side of the face with traces of bionic adjustment.
Psychological Evaluation: The subject exhibits an asocial personality, disinterest in cooperation, and episodes of passive and active aggression towards others. Shows a notable lack of understanding and/or acknowledgment of authority and authority figures.
Notable Skill:
Mental: Polyglotism - The subject is reportedly able to communicate fluently in several different languages
Academic: Former Criminal Law practitioner
Practical: The subject is well-acquainted with the mechanics of intergalactic vessels and a handful of standard personal devices.
History: Of earth-born mother and father, both attorneys at law. She showed great skill in deduction and comprehension of complex concepts. A promising law-practitioner career was unexpectedly interrupted when the subject expressed an erratic, violent reaction toward the client. Failing further psychological assessment, the subject's license was voided. Additional difficulties in social and moral adaptation were noted, culminating with a self-ejection of the subject from her core environment. Further information is difficult to obtain due to the nomadic lifestyle and hostile response to contact.
Criminal Charges: Serial frauds and theft, failure to cooperate with the forces of law, hijacking the official space vessel, assault on the official, resisting arrest.
 
Name: Adalind Seed
Age: Twenty-seven.
Origin: Observation Station 12.17.9, a research and development space station, in close orbit around Deimos (the furthest of Mars' two moons). Both of her parents are Earthers.
Gender: Female.
Appearance: Long black hair and pale-ish skin, just like her mother. Her eyes are a dark brown. Her physique is lithe, not unhealthy or too thin, with only a slight muscle tone.

She dresses in very common clothes preferring the style of t-shirts and jeans despite her mother's orders to wear something more traditional. She has a scar at the base of her spine from the chip her parents implanted in her. At nineteen, during a malfunction with her behavioural chip, she pierced her own tongue.

She weighs in just shy of 120lbs and stands at 5'8".

gabriel_by_ozornin_art_der1syr-fullview.jpg
Psychological Evaluation: Confident, loud, and refuses to keep quiet. Adalind comes across as competent and capable, seeming brave in the face of danger. Though, maybe, she has yet to learn that some threats should be feared and some dangers are safer to escape than confront. Adalind is self reliant but not very capable of working in team.

Her social skills are lacking but she makes up for this with her confident demeanour. Seemingly comfortable in any social situation even when she does not know what to say. Adalind can often be found listening to music - at least, before her arrest. She also proves herself unruly when tasked with anything she does not want to do.

Notable Skill: While still having a lot to learn, Adalind certainly inherited her parent's intelligence. With countless hours working as a lab assistant or participate as a subject she has learned a lot about biology and chemistry.

Her parents also taught her many languages, primarily the main languages from Earth: English, Spanish, and Chinese.

Adalind is also quite comfortable with handling and using the most modern of technology. With limited programming knowledge and daily experience using computers.

History: Ada was born and raised on the orbital station as the daughter of the brilliant scientist Dr. Sohpia Seed and the engineer Rorik Seed. She lived a simple enough life, with clean (albeit recycled) air and water. As a young girl she was spoiled and almost docile. Ada was her mother's favourite subject.

But her teenage years were a malfunction. Literally. When Ada hit puberty, the biological and chemical changes within her body interfered with a behavioural modification chip - which had been implanted while she was still an infant. This implant was failling to keep up with the adolescent's chemical changes and for the first time in a decade Adalind began making decisions for herself. She did not know why she was acting out, or why at times her memory was messy. Often the microchip implant would take back control and she'd loose control of her high functioning motor controls.

It was not until Adalind was an adult, participating in one of her mother's research programs, that she discovered the microchip controlling her. And once she was aware of it, she cut it out. Painfully. Shortly afterwards she stole her mother's identification cards and attempted to escape the space station by stealing a visiting supply ship. However, she was caught by company security. Having removed her chip and proven faulty, her mother no longer saw any need in keeping Adalind around. So her mother pressed charges for the conspiring to steal her identity. Despite her father's protests. The company also added additional charges to be brought against Adalind for the attempted theft of their supply ship.

Criminal Charges: Conspiracy to commit fraud and attempted larceny of corporate property.

SUBJ NAME: PAXARD, VIKTOR DEL
SUBJ AGE: 28 STANDARD YEARS
SUBJ ORIGIN:
SUBJ GENDER: MALE
SUBJ APPEARANCE: 5'8", 155LBS, GREEN EYES, BROWN HAIR, WHITE MALE OF MEDIUM BUILD, FACIAL HAIR ON CHIN, TATTOO OF PHOENIX ON RIGHT FOREARM
SUBJ PSYCH EVAL: "Viktor tends toward the eccentric but is hardly insane, though that has been surmised. Admittedly, the sight of open flame obviously excites him, so a label of 'pyromaniac' may be applicable. Notably, I've observed him to be caring toward the idiotic or bullied, indicating a tendency toward charity or even a desire to be a hero. The jury is still out on whether this indicates genuine care or narcissism. I recommend, strongly, that he be kept amongst such people, as he is reported by family to take far more care with his activities around those he feels the need to protect. And as he is nearly guaranteed to find something to blow up, I would like to emphasize this strongly." - Dr. Timothy Wayland, PhD
SUBJ SKILLS: CONSIDERABLE APTITUDE FOR CHEMICAL MIXTURES, WIRING / MINOR APTITUDE FOR MECHANICS
SUBJ BIOGRAPHICAL INVESTIGATION: "Listen, I'm tired, so tired, of running down Spacers. Half of them are void-crazed, and the other half are rebels and pirates. Sometimes, the groups overlap. … Fine. Viktor Del Paxard was born in Deep Space about a quarter million miles from Neptune. About as backwater as you can get without drifting to Plutonian exospace. His father is unknown; his mother is, or was, a gas harvester on the Hades. Bit on the nose, but history is like that sometimes. Anyway, Sonya Paxard probably huffed some of the Neptune gas while pregnant, because Vik came out different, according to ship and personnel records. He took to messing with ship wiring, mixing any even mildly unstable substances, and building some very odd machines. They nearly always resulted in destruction, ranging from very minor to catastrophic. The latter, occurring approximately in his 15th standard year, resulted in the deaths of two children and his own mother. This seemed to sober him up a bit, and he turned his skill to more useful purposes. At 20 years, Vik got picked up by the Tartarus as a repairman/demo-man. Mostly kept his head down until 2465, when he detonated a large asteroid orbiting Saturn. The fallout from the debris left Corelite Station uninhabitable and several hundred dead, and he was arrested soon after. We're not entirely sure why he blew up Asteroid#217-1735; he will only mention Corelite's 'other industry' and nothing more. His behavior in prison has otherwise been agreeable, and he has been allowed certain limited privileges. He's there for life, after all. What's the harm?" - Detective Roan Goodman
SUBJ CHARGES: ARSON / CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT ARSON / CONSTRUCTION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICE / SALE OF ILLEGAL EXPLOSIVE DEVICE / PROVIDING FALSE IDENTIFICATION TO LAW ENFORCEMENT / BREAKING AND ENTERING / PETTY THEFT / FAIL TO PAY FINES <1,000 CREDS
 
TITUS DAN

PRISONER FILE #528771

Name: Titus Dan
Age: 49
Origin: Mars
Gender: Male

Appearance: Dr. Titus Dan is a 5’9”, roughly 150 lbs individual. He is of Caucasion descent with white hair, blue eyes, and scarred hands. There are no other notable features.

Psychological Evaluation: Dr. Titus Dan displays an unhealthy neuroticism accompanied by nervous mannerism and tics, perhaps a byproduct of a previous nervous breakdown. Certain eccentricities have been tied to an underlying paranoia and periodic dissociative states. Social skills, while present, are lacking in full understanding.

Notable Skill:
  • Completed fifteen years of advanced reconstructive surgery within a comprehensive medical program at Xarnava State Hospital.
  • Served on the board of pathology for four years, with the known focus of microbiology.

History: Dr. Dan was born on Mars in a small settlement and raised by Dr. Tiberius Dan. He grew up in Xarnava, eventually graduating from secondary school to pursue medical studies in college, eventually ending his studies in a surgical practice. A habitual recluse, he never married nor had children, focusing wholly on his career. The strain eventually led to a nervous crisis, upon which Dr. Dan was switched to a secondary study in pathology. His career ended disgracefully in the contended accidental release of the IO-2 pathogen from his labs into the college campus, resulting in serious injury and some deaths among the student body.

Criminal Charges: Negligent homicide, conspiracy to commit bioterrorism
 
Name: Turing


Subject identifies himself as TURING, after the earth born mathematician Alan Turing and the Turing test. No family name recorded. Subject jokingly asks for my name (the interviewer). I refused to respond.

AGE PRESUMED TO BE 25+

Subject shrugs his shoulders at the question. When asked about notable events within the Senate his memory suggests at least mid to late twenties. Medical reports support this notion.

ORIGIN UNKNOWN, PRESUMED TO BE A SPACER.

Subject’s initial answer was ‘Adam and Eve’, suggesting basic education in the ancients and earth-born mythology. When pressed, the subject claims to have known no other life than that of a spacer, but can’t name the ship he was born on, only the ship on which he was caught. Last (known) fleet subject was on was named Whydah.

GENDER: MALE

The only clear answer the subject is willing to give so far.

APPEARANCE

Subject is of tall and muscular stature, fit and in overall good physical health. His left arm is a mechanic. Upon the question of how and what happened the subject isn’t willing to tread into details, claiming ‘it happens’ and ‘it’s common’. Continuing to pursue the question puts the subject in a bad mood and unwillingness to talk.

Subject is dark skinned, eyed and haired with several pieces of body art covering his arms. When asked for their significance, the subject answers that they represent the ships he has been on. Judging by age I (the interviewer) seriously doubt this, but don’t pursue it further.


Full image

PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION

Subject is a jester, having made several (inappropriate) jokes throughout the duration of the interview. Subject has tried several times to derail the interview and seems to have little to no interest in answering truthfully. In overall he seems like an amicable young man of good humour and with easy demeanour. I (the interviewer) and the psychologist agree that there are definite signs of a suppressed personality; in which the subject refuses to turn into himself, or to express his true thoughts and feelings. This makes it increasingly harder to accurately gauge the mental state of the subject, with definite signs of instabilities and lingering anger issues.

NOTABLE SKILLS

Considering his origins, the subject has shown himself to be a quick, albeit intuitive, learner of foreign languages and codes. A talent which the subject has used extensively to hack into the motherboard of ships and fleets looted, and to send out coded messages over the public network.

Records read that the subject is an apt mechanic and captain, able to carry out extensive maintenance on ships of all sizes, and capable of operating at least a smaller ship on his own. Overall it is hard to discern what talents the subject hides, seeing the evasive nature of the subject and a determination to keep all of his cards hidden.


HISTORY

Here subject is eager to speak, which I (the interviewer) wrote out verbatim:

“I was born on some sort of ship. My mother doesn’t know who my father is, could have been multiple, it is the way it goes on those ships. In any case, I grew up with the crew, until we got attacked by some other ship and we all got split. I don’t know how I ended up on the other ship, but they took me in while I was still no higher than their knees. The captain of the ship decided to teach me, because I’m young and able and you get the gist. We merged with ships, we looted other ships, it is our way, you know? As soon as I was old enough I joined them, doing the same stuff they did and more, learning how to do more, the ins and outs. Captain was right, since I was young and able to do lots more than they could, helped me a great deal. And now I’m here, just a shithole that couldn’t care less if I exist or not as long as I shut my trap and keep myself small.”

Kel Ellion | 32 | Belter

. . .
The subject appears to be a healthy human female, augmented with a left arm prosthetic. Her hair is unnaturally red and her gold eyes suggest some sort of visual augmentation, though it's unknown if it's purely cosmetic.

. . .
The subject displays a well-balanced personality, but it is suspected there is a more volatile part hidden beneath the surface. She seems overly concerned with gathering information, no doubt a product of her private military background and subsequent career as a mercenary. Her speech patterns suggest higher levels of education, which can be uncommon in Belter settlements.

. . .
The subject has extensive military training in combat tactics, weapons handling, and strategy, as well as training in diplomacy.

. . .
The subject hails from the Belter settlement, Fendel, known for its prestigious private military. Records show that after a 'routine exploratory mission', the subject was the lone survivor of her squad and underwent extensive surgery to repair her body. Post-surgical psychological evaluations showed that the subject was too 'volatile' to return to military duties and was given an honorable medical discharge.

Detainee Affiliations
Homeworld: Detainee alleges Minos, Europa, Jovian orbit as origin — doubtful, no records found under this name
Place of Arrest: Sapporo, Triton, Neptunian orbit — stationed post
Affiliated Organizations: Trident Mercenary Company, Yukiyama syndicate, Phoenix Triad, Atlas Inc., Sapporo Law Enforcement

Detainee Narrative Block
Xandra Ziljian likely a mercenary of the Trident company, often hired as private security for a number of different megacorps within the system. Unclear if Ziljian was currently working with Trident during current arrest. Ziljian was acting as LEO while in Sapporo, a nitro and water mining outpost in Neptune orbit. Ziljian was engaging in several criminal enterprises while hired as law enforcement for Sapporo. Lack of oversight due to remote nature of the outpost allowed Ziljian to work with little interference. She largely offered lenience and interference on behalf of the Yukiyama Syndicate or Phoenix Triad.

Ziljian is highly skilled with a number of firearms, including short burst plasma SMGs, firearms using kinetic ammunition, and long-range rifles. She is trained in hand-to-hand combat, guerilla warfare tactics, and hostage negotiation. Likewise adept at vehicular combat maneuvers and vehicle maintenance. Able to identify drugs through use of field kits, as well as knowledgeable about distribution, economy, sale, and acquisition.

Detainee Psychological Profile
The detainee displays classic hallmarks of clinical sociopathy, such as flat affect, superficial charm, lack of emotional response to Ambergraft test, and failing Morberg yawn test. Detainee affects remorse when asked about crimes, but upon further interview, remorse is surface level and for social masking. Remarkably friendly, social mask well placed and maintained, but to clinician appearance, evident in lack of correct emotional response to parts nine and ten of the Ambergraft test. Detainee likewise employs manipulative behavior around acquisition of resources or garnering favor.

On Big Five personality traits, displays high openness to new experience, low conscientiousness, high extroversion, mid agreeableness, low neuroticism. While in custody, detainee has been cooperative with authority figures and other detainees, save for singular instance with fellow inmate leading to assault. Detainee has displayed sone drug-seeking behavior while in custody, but after the assault on another inmate, this drug-seeking behavior has ceased.

Detainee has changed her history multiple times over multiple interviews, with multiple clinicians.

Logical: When considering decisions, Zen often falls back into his android way of thinking. He doesnt have the issue of letting his emotions get in the way, and can make a sensible decision. Though, he understands that this isnt how most think, so he tends to shy away from speaking up.​
Curious: Zen has lives a very sheltered life, but now that he has more freedom he is infinitely intrigued by the world around him. He wants to know more about everything, and experience all the things that he never had a chance to before. Even mundane things are exciting to him.​
Weaknesses
Insensitive: Since Zen doesnt understand all of the nuances of human emotions, sometimes when speaking he can come off as blunt or inconsiderate. Although that usually isnt his intention, his reserved personality only adds to the impression that he is a cold and distant person. When in fact, he wants to be friendlier.​
Complex: Zen is a naturally obedient being, it is all he has known for most of his existence. However, now that he has a choice, this has become a difficult inner struggle for him. On one hand, for the most part, he doesnt mind following orders. But on the other, he sometimes feels a fire of rebellion ignite within himself.​
Secretive: Due to the fact that he is trying to keep his android status a secret, it means that he has to be careful whenever he is around others. He lives in constant fear of what might happen if he is discovered. This has led him to keeping everyone at a distance. But, it often wears on him mentally, when all he wants is to be a normal person.​


Notable Skills


Cleaning: One of his main tasks as an Android was ensuring that the house stayed tidy and functioned without an hiccups. He was manufactured fully equipped with the skills to efficiently complete chores.​
Cooking: Another one of his jobs while providing for his human hosts, was shopping for their foods and cooking nutritious meals for them. He is very skilled in the kitchen, and comes with with the mastery of hundreds of meals depending on allergies and dietary restrictions.​
Botany: As a occupant of earth, Zen was required to keep the garden alive along with the various household plants. He has a good general knowledge on how grow many different types.​
Basic First Aid: A main part of his job was childcare, and as children can easily get hurt he was programed with the knowledge of basic human medicine. This means that he can patch up small wounds, or nurse sick people back to health.​
Astronomy: Ever since gaining sentience, Zen has taken an interest in learning more about the galaxy. He has devoted much of his time reading about these topics, and has gathered a good understanding of them.​


Background


Trigger Warning: Zen was bought by the Bellerose family five years ago to work as a housekeeper and nanny. They are a family of four. The father Gabriel, and wife Camillie, and their two kids Jules who was 10 and Emilie who was 7.​
While his main role was to look after the kids, he also was in charge of keeping the house in pristine condition, doing all the chores, cooking all the meals, and keeping track of all the members of the households schedules. It meant that he was constantly working, but he never minded it.​
The kids were weary of him at first, but quickly grew to consider him as part of their family. Every night they would insist that he read them a bedtime story, and during their time off from school they would always ask him to play. Although at that time, he was unable to feel emotions, he swears that he felt an unexplainable fondness grow inside of him.​
But, it didnt take long for him to realize that the perfect happy family that they pretreyed to everyone around them, was only an illusion. Gabriel had a temper, and he would take his anger out on anyone who was within reach.​
As he was manufactured to protect the family, this meant that he would try and intervene. But, when he was given orders to stop, or to take the kids into another room, he had no choice but to obey. After all, he was programmed to never hurt a human. Zen would often patch them up, and console them after each incident to the best of his ability.​
Eventually Camille had had enough, and she decided that she was going to take the kids and run. While Gabriel was at work, they started packing up their belongings. However, Gabriel had become suspicious and returned home early. When he realized what was happening, he flew into a fit of rage unlike any other, and proclaimed that he wouldnt allow them to leave him.​
Gabriel grabbed a gun, and beat Camille with it until she was unconscious. Zen had taken the kids and locked them in the basement with him. But, Gabriel soon broke down the door. When Gabriel was about to shoot the kids, Zen began to malfunction and knocked the gun from his hands. It was then that Camillie came, and shot Gabriel dead.​
As sirens rang out outside, Zen took the gun from Camillie and wiped her prints away and replaced them with his own. Without a second thought, he took the fall for her so that she would be able to go on and live a happy life with her kids. And, he has never regretted it.​
Zen pled guilty to killing Gabriel, explaining that he broke into the house to steal and was caught by the man. Now, Zen faces prison while attempting to live disguised as a normal human.​
