Korwun Gorik

Gorik is a krogan warlord who was initially retired when he came to the CDN. Recently he has started his own mercenary unit based on Omega, named AEGIS, with the goal of defending the everyday folk who live on the station who usually get screwed over by the various criminal gangs who operate there.

• Big Damn Heroes: Gorik and Dawn pull their own version when a friend is kidnapped by slavers.
• Blood Knight: As affable as he may be, Gorik is still a krogan. He loves a good fight.
• Cool Old Guy: At 732, he's not the oldest poster on the board, but he's definitely up there.
• Papa Wolf: If you mess with his comrades or threaten his friends, there will be hell to pay.
• The Atoner: Gorik worked for slavers in his youth, and now he feels that he has a debt to repay by freeing other slaves from their captors.
• Warrior Poet: He is surprisingly well read for a krogan. Gorik appreciates poetry, music and the writings of Sun Tzu.
• We Help the Helpless: The motto of AEGIS.

Bo Kross (Kage)

Gorik's second-in-command

• The Alcoholic: Often crossing into Drowning My Sorrows
• Anti-Hero: Type IV. While he generally believes in AEGIS' philosophy, he is not above performing less than savory work, to meet that end.
• Because I'm Good At It: Being a soldier is the only thing that brings him purpose in his life.
• The Cynic
• Cynicism Catalyst: Several in fact. From surviving the battle of Torfan, to the death of his younger sister during the war, and plenty of other tragedies in between.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Fire-Forged Friends: His relationship with AEGIS as a whole.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Deep down, and we do mean deep down, he's a good person at heart.
• Knightin Sour Armor: Still tries to do the right thing in spite of everything.
• Shellshocked Veteran
• Survivor's Guilt: A result of losing many of his friends and comrades during the war.
• The Stoic
• Trademark Favorite Food: Pisco

Dawn

A human born in the slums of the parisian suburbs, Dawn left Earth at age 13 (or maybe 14). She's been around, settling on a human colony, then leaving to visit Illium, Imorkan, the Citadel, and eventually Omega; she soon found a liking for the station. Now aged 21 (or 22), she clearly has it in for slavers...and batarians. Batarian slavers. This hate was born from personal and, obviously, unpleasant experiences with the aforementioned population.

• Allergic to Routine: Which is why she loves Omega.
• Big Damn Heroes: Gorik and Dawn pull their own version when a friend is kidnapped by slavers.
• Dark and Troubled Past
• Hates Being Touched
• Improbable Age: Dawn is 21/22, and she's a tech specialist.
• Not So Weak: She doesn't hesitate to kill when threatened. (As the story of her first kill suggests)

Thel'Adean vas Tinketta (Techie Pilgrim)

A young quarian tech who works for AEGIS now since the attack on Discori's base.

• Badass Bookworm: Built his own hardsuit from stuff he had on hand and fought in the attack on Discori's fortress.
• Bash Brothers: He and the rest of AEGIS have a tight bond that not even money or strife can break, and he will gladly give his life to save a fellow member if needed. Shane, Bo, and Kevla are particularly close to him in the surrogate brother/sister way to boot.
• Battle Couple: With Aniko Tarkov.
• Berserk Button: Don't insult his people. Also, Tupari machines.
• Boogie Knights: Him + Hardsuit + Afterlife = Epic lulz.
• Covert Pervert: Considering his sexual preferences, he tries hide it whenever possible, not that it helps anyway.
• Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments.
• Internet Jerk: Played With, Thel's much snarkier on the extranet yet he's far more vicious in person for obvious reasons In-Universe. Word of God jokingly went so far as to call him the 'quarian Sam Fisher' at times.
• Good Is Not Nice: He will fuck you up if he has a reason to do so. Just ask Captain Rhodes - actually, he's kinda dead now.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Shane Ryder since joining AEGIS.
• Ho Yay: Hilariously, Quarimus sees this with him and Shane.
• Noodle Incident: Would rather not discuss how his return to the Fleet went. Or how exactly he found the Tinketta.
• The Smart Guy: Quarian techie. 'Nuff said.
• Took A Level In Bad Ass: He went from goofy, fun loving Thel to a tech specialist who can hold his own in combat. He's also handy with a blade or two.
• Undying Loyalty: He trusts his fellow squaddies with his life, and they trust him with theirs.
