Characters at Penumbra

Blue NM-2

Character | Jul 17, 2024

Blue NM-2 is a Sentinel; a living weapon. It has been provided for Project Ikarus from Neptune. Even in the low humidity atmosphere of Mercury it poses a notable threat, but has been deemed acceptable considering the consequences of failure.

Eun

Character | Aug 18, 2024

Squadron Leader Eun is an ex-mercenary fighter pilot employed in Penumbra under the aegis of Project Ikarus. Eun has an irregular history, like many of the pilots of Penumbra, but has shown competency and good fit to a military structure.

Commodore Pallas Steradian is a Martian commodore and the officer in command of the defenders of Mercury.

Roseah

Character | Jul 17, 2024

Roseah is a study in contradictions. They move mountains to help Mercurians flee, but disdain them for abandoning their home. A misanthrope who has built the most welcoming Oasis there is on Mercury.

Sciah

Character | Sep 6, 2024

Eun's commanding officer and a Martian. Sciah does not come from a pilot background and it shows in her interactions. Bookish and by-the-rules, she is at least dependable.

Tray

Character | Sep 2, 2024

Tray is a tray. He works at Oasis, serving the drinks and meals. Please rate your satisfaction.
