Second Wind Lem can spend 1 action point to gain a second wind. When he does this, he gains 3 hit points up to his maximum hit points.

Background
People thought that as civilization progressed, life would get better. People would be more peaceable. Life would be grand.

As usual, they were wrong.

Lem was a ground pounder, plain and simple. He'd joined up with the expanded NATO forces post Iraq, and while he did not enjoy his job, he was good at it. His massive Slavic frame helped a bunch here, and his pessimistic Polish attitude kept him from getting in over his head. He was his contingent's luck charm, having taken more punishment any thought possible while keeping his fellow's morale up. After seeing action and taking bits of metal from about every continent you could think of, some of the higher-ups got the bright idea that Lem would make a decent leader, and put him in First Sergeant training.

Then the whole Apophis fiasco started.

Lem doesn't know how it happened, but he figured that some higher up decided that they needed some real military expertise on board the various star-boats "just-in-case." So, somehow, Lem was placed as part of the marine contingent on the HMCS Hope, in charge of a small troop of NCO's with a few CO's in charge of him. He did not like it, but not having any living family made the decision easy for the higher ups.

Just don't call him a Space Marine.

Concept
Lem is your grizzled space marine (no matter what he thinks) with a lot of practical military experience, some leadership training, and would probably go for the Field Officer PrC.

Appearance and Personality
Lem is a large man---6' 5" and near 250 lbs---with a grizzled beard hiding much of his round, Slavic face. He has piercing blue-grey eyes and very curly brown hair with a rudy complexion. He dresses in his military fatigues, and his large hamfists are not far from a weapon at any time. He constantly chomps on a very old cigar---he quit smoking a while ago, but the affectation remains.

Lem has a large, booming voice, and his is a straight shooter when he talks. He can bark orders with the best of them, and has a knack for inspiring the best out of people. When he wants, he can use his size and demeanor to scare the living daylights out of a green recruit if need-be.

Lem has had some initial cybernetic implants, but his natural talents are his best assets. Though trained with the new laser weapons, Lem is most comfortable with the old fashioned ballistic kind, and keeps an old assault riffle with him at all times.

Victor Bayne
Fast 1/Charismatic 1

Victor was always something of an adventurous soul. Growing up on a large ranch in Montana, the boy would often disappear for days, wondering the countryside and exploring things that were new to him. He learned many skills during his boyhood, though; shooting, riding, and other things that he would find useful later in his life.

Although Victor attended four years of college at “Ole Miss”, he retained little of what he learned there. College was more of a social activity for Victor, who spent most of his time drinking, chasing girls and playing sports (his athletic talent landed him a spot as starting receiver for the Rebels). Despite this, he still graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science Communications.

After graduation, Victor applied to become an FBI agent. Accepted into the academy, Victor easily passed all of the rigorous physical and mental testing. After graduating from the academy, Victor became a field agent, and shortly therafter was put into a new program offering cybernetic augmentation.

Unfortunately, the Apophis Crisis changed occured shortly after Victor's first major cybernetic augmentation. He has no idea why he was chosen to be evacuated on the HMCS Hope, but the opportunity to explore space was beyond anything the young man could have hoped. He accepted the invitation, and

At 6’2” tall and a lean 190 lbs, Victor is athletic and tone, being in overall excellent shape. He is a handsome man with stylish blonde hair, a good smile and deep green eyes. He takes pride in his appearance, and is a stickler about hygiene and working out. Victor is usually clean-shaven and well-groomed. He is 25 years of age.

Background:
Ash joined the air force for two overriding reasons. One was a love of flying and aircraft...the other was an urgent need to escape her home environment, which had always been bad and taken a turn for the worse. She attacked school and most especially the ROTC program in school with the vigor of someone who is clawing her way out of a corner. She studied the military, airplanes, and aviation in general...knowing that with no connections, she had only her performance in extracurricular activities and entrance examinations to get her the coveted officer status needed to train as a pilot. Her natural skills and sheer stubbornness got her top of her class, and high placements in the exams...she had her wish.

Ash's initial goal was to serve a term or two...depending on how the first one went...and then muster out for a career as a civilian pilot. It seemed like the ideal job. Travel all over, see different places but never settle down... It was good, as dreams went, but reality stepped in with a mighty big wakeup call named, 'Apophis.'

Ashley was one of the pilots who had actually been trained to fly the new "Starhawk" space-capable fighters. Since all such fighters were either assigned to a colony ship, or to attempt to shatter the incoming asteroid, it was basically luck of the draw. Ash was assigned to the HCMS Hope. The days before hibernation were unexpectedly hard for her, as even though she'd struggled to sever her ties to past and family; the prospect of leaving them to be destroyed was one that haunted her.

More about John Reaves:

Lt John Reaves of the Canadian spaceforce. He grew up at the westcoast of canada, and allways had a knack for ships and sailing. He was canadian champion open-sea sailing, first in the Optimist class, later moving on to laser-class and teaming up with his old mate in the 420. He went to OTC (Officers training Course) at the naval base in Vancouver, continuing his sailing career succesfully at the olympics in Flanders in 2020 with a silver medal. It was during his officer training that he fell in love with the 'big' sea, space. He worked hard, studying mechanics, electronics, and navigation and managed to enroll in the SpaceProgram. He worked on the HMDCS Hope as navigator and computer technician, and was one of the first to be reawakened by the computer.
Thanks to his Danish ancestry he's a tall, blond fellow, clean shaven with short-cropped hair. He has piercing green eyes and is content to let the others do the talking. He is precise and strict, favoring tight discipline and frowns on the gung-ho mentality of the armed forces. He doesn't like to boast or brag, and spends most of his evenings studying and working out at the gym.

Cold Resistance Andrew ignores an amount of cold damage equal to his Constitution modifier.
Savant Andrew gets to add a bonus equal to his Smart level when making checks with the Knowledge (Earth and Life Sciences) skill.

Dr. Andrew Gordon was an up-and-coming medical researcher who had studied at both the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. His main area of study was on how organisms adapted in extreme cold and space, though he was not limited to that. He spent a good deal of time in the communities in the northern territories, and was even privileged enough at one point to visit the soldiers in Alert.
It was while he was up here, in the islands, that Andrew first saw the Northern Lights, and not once but many times. He had always been fascinated by space, but it wasn't until he had come here that he really began to seriously wonder what other phenomena like this there were in other parts of the galaxy, and if there was something out there that would hold the answers to all of his questions about the nature of life, not limited by the perspective of Earth.
