THE CHARACTERS

NEITH

Very little is known of Neith. She's not from New Paris, and has a somewhat exotic origin story that is as mysterious as her arrival in this story. She is however a strong and resiliant person who has the ability to adapt to her new surroundings. She's probably not dangerous, but then, she might not be entirely forthcoming about her intentions. She has somebody on her mind, and that's sometimes a good thing.

But not always.

ADNET (PAND-0)

Adnet is a PAND-0 series robot. He isn't available for assignment, for he is already a servitor to a very prominent figure. He too is not originally from New Paris, and his presence there has not entirely been authorized.

Adnet is a personnel servitor robot that is programmed with a one-to-one protocol. As human flesh and skin bots were banned a decade before, all robots reverted to having the look of a machine instead.

DELWYN

Delwyn was born in the first year of her parent's five-year contract on New Paris. Her parents had always felt guilty knowing that she would spend the first four and a half years of her life on a desolate planet, surrounded by dangers and restrictions.

Delwyn at the age of four received her first automaton companion, P8, who soon became her best (and only) friend on New Paris. She never really mixed with the other children and preferred to stay close with P8, and her family.

Delwyn has a strong passion for photography, and music, and is very competitive. Her parents hope that she can put these skills to practice once they make their move to a regular life out in the colonies.

ELISE & MARDEN

Elise and Marden were married just prior to taking the joint assignment on New Paris. In fact, if it wasn't for Marden's skills in biomechanical engineering, they would never have considered such a long term contract. The rewards outweighed the time however, as they would be guaranteed a choice of colony and given autonomy and self determination to fly through the great corridor as elite citizens. A small price to pay for being on a planet surrounded with prisoners.

Elise is an administrator and took the job of quota census administrator, ensuring that the prison kept up with the demand of resources needed to run a prison efficiently and to a budget. After four years, they had both grown weery of the challenge and were now looking forward to moving on to greener pastures.

TOBIN

Tobin was an opportunist, even as a small child. He suffered greatly in his youth which sadly pushed him towards a life of petty crime. His ambition as a thief got the better of him and he eventually crossed the line. His crimes remained private once he was sent to the desert prison facility on New Paris.

All prisoners were sworn to never divulge their crimes, for they were all considered to be the same. He had served for over forty years before he received a biomechanical arm - as a part of the colonies' deep, dark ambition to utilize prisoners as workers for the duration of their life sentences, without the excuse of tiring. As Tobin was the most senior prisoner within the complex, he was the first to be fitted with a biomechanical arm. He is rarely referred to by name, and answers to his code name: prisoner 224.
