Season 5
Ghali-ie Tranltu
MIC: Making roads to the future
Ghali-ie Tranltu was a Silican in the Common and United League of Orion.
He started out life as a normal Silican civilian in the league but quickly rose through the ranks to become Anatoly's right-hand mand in the Ministry of Interplanetary Commerce. After Anatoly became Premier of the league, Tranltu became the Minister of Interplanetary Commerce himself.
Tranltu would write several of the Ministry's important proposals, such as Alpheratz, a nation wide planetary public works program. For example, on the planet of Halychast, the Ministry began a plan to begin land reclamation, hoping to fix up several ruined cities.
Leberecht Keres
The Treasury is pleased to announce that Grand Marshall Leberecht Keres shall henceforth feature on the 1,000. He could have been our Caesar. Instead he was our liberator. Let it never be forgotten.
Leberecht Keres (2575-2691) was the Grand Marshall of the Orion Revolutionary Guard from his election in 2600 until his death. Keres was a practitioner and advocate of combined arms operations, using space and air supremacy to support planetary combat spearheaded by elite armored divisions. Keres also left behind a complicated legacy regarding politicization and reshaped the relationship between the government and the military.
Following some moderate success during the early stages of the Northern War, Keres gained fame and renown for achieving a decisive victory over the Sha forces during the Battle of Reclamation, bringing the Sha to the negotiating table and cementing Orion's alliance with the Marionettes.
Keres was involved with the covert activities at Station 7. Although he initially supported the Station 7 endeavors for their potential military applications, Keres eventually grew disenchanted with the increasingly cultish nature of Station 7's activities and attempted to separate himself from Station 7. The fallout from Station 7 led to the Mystic Uprising, during which Keres commanded loyalist forces at the Battle of Acheron which routed the Mystic rebels and restored order to that planet.
The last major military campaign of Keres' career was Operation Nordwind, the orchestration of Orion's involvement in the Alkian Civil War. Keres personally commanded the armored divisions during the Battle of Hureth, reviving the ancient Panzerkeil tactic to great effect.
Throughout his career, Keres struggled with attempts from the Presidium and from hostile agents to subvert the military chain of command. Though a lifelong member of the People's Reform Front, Keres attempted to minimize the politicization of the Orion Revolutionary Guard. Ironically these efforts often involved taking active political stances, including a tenure serving on the First Party Committee and a brief candidacy for Premier. Following an attempt from radical elements of the People's Reform Front to seize power, Keres organized a constitutional convention and the Diet of Clark which changed the political landscape of Orion.

Feng Yunshan
The old Hardliner ideology is dead, killed by secularist treason. All who wish to disassociate themselves from this treason must without reservation declare their support for a League founded up Enlightened Revolutionary Values, not accelerationist hatred!
While little is known about his early life, it is known that by his 20s, Feng had become a prominent member in Orion's scientific community, and quickly became the Dean of the Academy of Sciences and Humanities. From there, he would found Site 7 on Terra Nova, a classified scientific lab dedicated to the research of psychic and psionic abilities. To conduct this research, test subjects were brought in from the then Minister of Security, Sébastien Bean, who kidnapped homeless people off the streets. This method, however, proved controversial, as Bean would find himself arrested and put on trial. Not wanting to end his experiments, Feng would go on to secure a new source of test subjects by obtaining Prisoners of War from the sitting Minister of War, Admiral Jakov. However, when Jakov fell out of favor with the rest of the government and his replacement, Rehan, was looking to end the policy of prisoner transfers, Feng, in one of his first acts of subverting the League, would have Rehan assassinated, and Jakov blamed for it.
Publically at this time, Grandmaster Feng Yushan was, in addition to his role as Dean of ASH, he was known as the much-beloved owner of the Zhizhun Zhenli Health Club, a large, and at the time, a growing organization aimed at helping the many citizens of the League reach personal health and spiritual enlightenment. However, privately, the Zhizhun Zhenli was a sort of religious cult acting as a sort of clique within Orion, including such members of the government as longstanding Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eurico Orbe, Chairman of the Committee of Revolutionary Education, Timmie Jimmie, and Kayden Kaslana, a prominent member of the Orion Revolutionary Guard. In a twist of Irony, the Zhizhun Zhenli would have Rehan portrayed as a martyr.
After conducting several tests into the nature of psionics, Site 7 would grow under the Deanship of Feng into a larger endeavor, moving into a Deep Space Blacksite known from then on out as Station 7. With new and improved funding, Feng would begun testing the psionic chemicals he developed on himself. It is under these chemicals, known as Reanthol, that he first managed to enter the dimension known as "The Shroud", where, after a short encounter, Feng would meet the Shroud Entity known as "Conflict", a sort of "War God", represented by a "Pale Green Light". In meeting conflict, Feng would cut off his own left index finger in an offering to it. Following the success of this experiment, other members of the Zhizhun Zhenli, including Timmie Jimmie and Eurico Orbe to Station 7, where they would undergo their own Reanthol Trips, discovering the presence of other shroud entities like Entropy and Stagnation, the former of which would invade the station through means of "Hand Entities" before being beaten back. Other relevant events that happened in Station 7 included human sacrifice and the creation of a psionic dog. After significant tests in Station 7, Feng's eyes would eventually start glowing an incandescent green light, as he gained psionic powers, further aligning him with Conflict.
Politically, Feng would find himself involved in Hardliner Politics, gaining the important role of Chairman of the First Party Committee through the Zhizhun Zhenli, which had within it many other hardliner politicians, growing from their early limited number of members to one of the largest factions within the People's Reform Front. The mystic twist that Feng brought to the Hardliner cause would eventually cause a schism in the Hardliner movement, with the mystics eventually forming a new faction within the party. Feng would use his political connections to infiltrate the military and increase hardliner influence throughout the nation, through both democratic and undemocratic means.
As the scope of Station 7, increased, it was determined to bring on members of the Military and Intelligence Community, who would subsequently conduct their own Reanthol tests, also aligning themselves with Conflict. However, with so many people involved in the project, now, things would begin to go wrong. While things looked promising at the start, with the powers of "War God", Conflict, seemingly able to be harnessed by the military through means of runed weapons, many of the military began to doubt the intentions of Conflict as it was revealed Conflict was actively working towards total galactic war, as it was discovered that Conflict itself may have both instigated the Great Galactic War and destroyed the Mlakh Rak at the end of it. Additionally, Rickenbacker, on a Reanthol Trip, found himself attacked by Conflict after refusing his offers. With these controversial events, Feng's plans would be unraveled as the other members of the government turned on him. Feng, after a short standoff, surrendered himself, but not before causing a mystic uprising across the nation by revealing the Paragon Conspiracy, which stated that the nukes used to destroy the Mlakh Rak were never actually fired, and the true cause of their destruction at the end of the Great Galactic War was "unknown".
After Feng was arrested, he was brought to trial, where he was quickly accused of treason and executed, but not before bringing Panagiota Briki-Keres, the chief justice overseeing the execution down with him, in one final fight.
Timmie Jimmie
"The revolution simply cannot become corrupt.
Timmie Jimmie was born on Sanctuary and led a largely uneventful childhood. After wandering around for in his early twenties, Timmie Jimmie would be picked up by the Zhizhun Zhenli cult, largely due to him having nothing else planned for his life. With connections made in the Cult, Jimmie would quickly become a member of the House of the League for his revolutionary actions. Once in the House of the League, he quickly became an important member, writing many bills and debating many topics.
During his tenure as member of the House of the League, Jimmie would write many bills. Those he wrote included the "Act to Preserve a Partisan Military", which would create a system of military commissars throughout the military. Much to his dismay, the Military would despite this act and have the repealed after much protest, despite Jimmie's calls for more political oversight in the military. Other acts Jimmie wrote include the "An Act to Protect the Revolution by Creating Means for Public Enlightenment", which created a federal censorship commission, proving vital in censoring the Paragon leak.
Simultaneous to his actions in the House of the League, Jimmie would take up positions in many offices across Orion. During a short period of time under Premier Marcus Stafford, Jimmie would take up the role of Minister of Federal Affairs and Justice, attempting to fix the crime wave that had struck Orion in those years. He would eventually be dismissed by the next Premier. Jimmie, throughout his career, would also take up the role of Chairman of the Committee of Revolutionary Education, after the previous chairman resigned. It is in this role that he manipulated the politics of Orion, indoctrinating the Youth and general population at large towards radical hardliner and mystic beliefs, through such things as the National Curriculum and Propaganda campaigns.
Jimmie would also take part in the Zhizhun Zhenli's plans on Station 7, the secret deepspace blacksite where psionics were researched. He himself would take part in two Reanthol trips to the shroud. In the first trip, he would find himself in an endless building full of papers and documents. It is here where he first met with conflict, who carved a series of mystic runes on his back. After this Jimmie would take one more trip to the shroud in a joint trip with Eurico Orbe, where they met with a traveller of the shroud who told them much wise wisdom.
During the Mystic Uprising, Jimmie would betray Feng Yunshan and seize control of the Zhizhun Zhenli, in an opportunistic act. This act of bringing the moderate mystics on board with Orion had profound impacts, as the mystic forces of Feng and Orbe were defeated.
After the Mystic Uprising Jimmie would find himself elected to the position of First Party Committee member, where he continued his work with Étienne van Gelach, hoping to centralize power in the Committee. During this time, there was a brief period where he was arrested and under trial, due to his actions involving the Zhizhun Zhenli, but due to his connections in the Tribunal, he was released. Ultimately, the work with Gelach culminated in the Second Motion to Strengthen Party Unity, which, if enforced, would grant immense powers to the First Party Committee. This resulted in a constitutional crisis, which ultimately lead to Jimmie's death at the hands of the military, and the end of the One-Party State in Orion, as a new constitution was passed.
After dying, it is said that the spirit of Jimmie was sent off to a sort of "Space Hell" to be punished, despite him being nowhere near the evilest person in Orion.
Paul von Rickenbacker
"I asked you who wanted to have the honor. Of course, that honor is being the last man to be killed by Paul von Rickenbacker."
Paul von Rickenbacker served in many roles throughout his life, including Chairman of the Committee for Revolutionary Security, Chairman of the House of the League, and Minister of Security. He was known for his very unnerving demeanor, likely augmented by the fact that, due to his entirely prosthetic eyes, he did not blink unless he chose to do so.
While little is known about his youth, other than he grew up believing in Norse Paganism, it is known that Paul von Rickenbacker, quickly rose through the ranks of the Pbeople's Reform Front, earning the role of Chairman of the Committee of Revolutionary Security at a young age, learning important secrets such as true nature of Project SCORPIO and the corruption of Premier August Korolev.
During his tenure as Chairman, Rickenbacker would find himself involved in numerous events. One such important event was the arrest of the sitting First Party Chairman, Jackquelynn, where Rickenbacker would find himself sheltering the FPC Chair as she was supposedly under arrest for ordering an "Illegal Investigation" into Korolev's corruption. Rickenbacker, would eventually turn the chairman over to the Ministry of Security when questioned about him sheltering the FPC Chairman, playing it off as his plan to arrest the chair all along. For these actions then, Rickenbacker would be expelled from his position of Chairman of the Committee of Revolutionary Security.
Despite his untimely removal from the position, Rickenbacker's political career would not end there. After the debacle with the First Party Committee, Rickenbacker, perhaps out of spite, perhaps not, would author the First Amendment to the Incompatibilities of Public Offices Act, preventing members of the First Party Committees from being Ministers of the Government at the same time, after learning that the First Party Committee intended to take ministerial positions.
For his legislative accomplishments, Rickenbacker would go on to be elected Chairman of the Presidium, where he would preside over the notable trial of the investigation of former Minister of Security, Sébastien Bean. The trial, which was over Sébastien Bean's supposed kidnapping of homeless individuals for "Site 7", turned out to be quite the event, with such events as the defense committing blatant perjury upon being asked if they had committed a crime, accusations of Bean "pissing" on another presidium members husband while in prison, and the defense conducting their closing statement in rap form. In the end, Sébastien Bean would end up being sentenced to life in Prison, but not before significantly dragging down the Presidium's reputation.
With the position of Minister of Security now empty, Rickenbacker would be nominated to the position, owing to his general appearance of competence and previous experience in the Committee for Revolutionary Security. With now an expanded security budget, Rickenbacker would go on to deeply involve himself in the affairs of the league.
Politically, Rickenbacker would cooperate with then Presidium member Marcus Stafford in getting him elected to Premier. Stafford, who won the election, would then cooperate with Rickenbacker in planning a proxy war against the House of the Sha, leading to galactic tensions, with the Sha threatening Stafford's life, and the Rou'ii threatening nuclear war. At around the same time, it was discovered that Stafford was leaking important details about Project Scorpio to uncleared ministers. Rickenbacker, deeply concerned over this, would, regrettably, determine that Stafford had to be killed to prevent further leaks, and thus, with the help of his close ally, Saga Snædísdottir, who was head of the CRS, Rickenbacker was assassinated, with the blame being placed on the Sha as the case would be taken all the way to the Galactic Community.
Afterward, Rickenbacker would find himself tasked with solving a nationwide crime wave, as poor economic conditions across the league drove many into a life of crime. With the nation facing such an immense wave, the government, particularly the Ministry of Security and Ministry of Federal Affairs and Justice would try to crack down on the crime wave through conventional means to little effect. Rickenbacker, then, concerned with the nation's stability would author a social spending bill to bring the lower class out of poverty, despite his traditionally conservative values. Despite the bill repeatedly passing the presidium, the bill would continually fail in the General Assembly, causing the crime wave to continue.
Another action Rickenbacker took as Minister of Security was a corruption investigation into the legislature. he would start this after learning that members of the Presidium were invited to a sort of party, yet he was not. Spying on members of the party with parabolic microphones, he learned that members of the Presidium were being bribed to vote on a bill. While little would come out of the investigation of the Presidium, with only Warren Browning being arrested, a subsequent investigation into the General Assembly would prove fruitful, as nearly a third of them were found to be corrupt in some regards. With this blackmail in hand then and some help by like-minded ministers, Rickenbacker would force the General Assembly to confirm the Premiership of his friend, Saga. Despite this blackmail, the General Assembly would still not pass the social spending bill, and thus, with no other options, Rickenbacker would have the corrupt members of the Assembly arrested and place armed Minister of Security agents into the building, effectively forcing the assembly through fear to pass the law, which it did almost unanimously.
In his personal life it is known that he often struggled with the fact that he may not be as emotionless as his public persona would indicate. He worked through these issues with the help of some friends of his, such as Kayden Kaslana and Saga Snædísdottir.
Additionally, He did not use contractions except in extenuating circumstances. Also known as Mr. Von, he was rumored to be in a polyamorous relationship with Saga and Tsunsuna. The polycule included, at one point, the late Kayden Kaslana.
Leander Drivas
Leanders eyes stare into the '0% from crash being over' on his computer screen and hopes it's real. Then it became #Value.
Leander Drivas began his career as a prominent voice in the now-defunct Presidium as an activist legislator surrounding the issue of Psionics in the wake of the Radical Mystic Revolt. He worked to create a moderate mystic front, and to secure a legal path to psionics, with unprecedented public oversight. This act, the Psionic Revolution Act, is among his proudest achievements, establishing a new interdepartmental approach to Psionics, as well as substantial psionic research and instruction.
Following this, he was made the Minister of the Treasury and, as he jokes, the State Ambassador to Hell, working on outreach and diplomatic work in the Shroud. As a diplomat, he wrote a book on the beings of the Shroud, their influence on our society, and how we must strive to be better people, individually and collectively. To this day, he retains an interest in meditation and the study of the soul, and speaks powerfully against curses from Shroud Entities, real or metaphorical.
As Treasurer, he worked tirelessly night and day from his mid 20s into his 50s. It became a running gag that he could never take a single night off. He has few personal contacts outside of the government and the military. But he is passionate and relentless on the campaign trail, and has become a coordinating force in cabinet.
Leander Drivas is the father of the Orion Constitution. Although he was not the one who organized the convention, he arrived with more notes and work than the rest of the staff combined, and worked tirelessly to actually pen the new constitution, and it's new pre-amble. If it stands, his legacy will never be forgotten.
Pat Jean
Pat Jean, born on Arclight to Syndicate Executives, was one of the most prominent members of the Ultrafederalist movement. After graduating from the Sanctuary Cosmopolitan University, one of Orion's most prestigious schools, Jean would start their career by writing several prominent foreign policy articles for the nation. Jean's experience with the media would eventually lead them to become Press Liason for the government.
Other notable actions Jean undertook included representing Orion in the Galactic Community, and the prosecution of Sébastien Bean in the Presidium for his kidnapping of the homeless.
A prominent member of the Presidium, Jean would however find themselves kicked out after punching other presidium member Liao Kafei after a heated argument on the legacy of Rehan, one of Orion's prominent generals. For this action, Jean was expelled from the Presidium and People's Reform Front. Despite this, Jean would still remain as a prominent member of the Ultrafederalist Movement, holding many rallies and speeches across the nation, as well as coordinating the finances of the "Orion Archeological Society", the most prominent ultrafederalist clique in the nation.
While being so deeply involved in politics, Jean would eventually come up against the Hardliners in the People's Reform Front. Seeing the Hardliners as an obstacle to the Ultrafederalist Cause, Jean would take part in an "Anti-Hardliner Coalition", with other prominent politician, Warren Browning. For this, Pat Jean would be executed for Factionalism.
Petra Strasser
Strasser, originally trained as a fighter pilot, transferred into Intelligence Operations for the next phase of her career. Formerly Director of Intelligence Operations, she currently serves as Grand Marshall and Minister of War. She provided strategy to the Lithoid rebels during the successful Battle of the Belt, and she prevented the Serene Cleric from seizing the valuable dockyards at the Battle of the Jungle. She made the difficult decision to negotiate peace with the Cleric during the conflict in Maahes, avoiding all-out galactic war and inevitable SMRT armageddon. Strasser is proudest of her role in making RUNE-League reunification a reality, and she is grateful to her friends and allies including Drivas, Kaslana, and Mikhailovich for their support.

Nadezhda Krupskaya
A young working class Hadesian.
Ghuun K'tokh-suun
Will Remember, Share, Pop Rocks, You
Ghuun K'tokh-suun's experience is typical amongst the Sillican people as they were faced with discrimination, and false blame for the Great Galactic War. Their formative years saw much exposure to militarist propaganda, and other ideals contrary to usual Sillican values. This created a twisted union of Sillican values such as communal living, ascetic lifestyles, and "democratic councilism", with a fiery will to impose that on the rest of the Galaxy by force. Ghuun as such is one of the few Sillicans to renounce pacifism as they recognise that value was spawned upon the relative inability for Sillicans to physically engage the enemy and wants more of their brethren to join the Orion Revolutionary Guard to serve in whatever capacity they can. They believe that one day, that a Sillican will become a true hero of the revolution, and that hero will undo the damage of the Great Galactic War on their image.

That was until his father led a failed rebellion against his liege over an unlawful tax, and was subsequently beheaded while his family was banished to the surface and had their titles revoked.Dyfnwal was very young when he was banished but he still harbours great hatred for the king of Pikehall and has never recognised the revocation of his titles, always introducing himself as the Count of Cwmsychbant.Because his right to rule had been unjustly revoked, he turned to politics to take advantage of the league’s style of government which allowed anyone with enough support to rule, and after years of work he succeeded in getting nominated to the House of the League by the Archlight legislature.
Mirvjena Hyaxi
Mirvjena Hyaxi was born on September 7th, 2619 CE in the slums of the Shqipëtari District on Terra Nova to a large family of unassuming immigrants from the Republik de Nouveau Europa. She is the first of her family to be born within the League, and given her rather destitute living conditions for much of her life, she had been greatly radicalized and now devoted her life to serving the League and furthering the Revolution. She is currently married to her husband Argjendor Thanasi, who also remains a devoted and longtime member of the Party.
Throughout her life, Mirvjena has toyed with various branches of hardliner ideology, and at many points delved deep into the ideals of the mystic revolutionaries. Though she has maintain a rather private stance, refusing to officially recognize herself under a specific revolutionary ideology, she has often flirted with the tenets of Palingenesis and National Revolution.
As of 2674, Mirvjena serves as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Senior Ambassador, she is a sitting member of the Committee on International Affairs, the Committee for Revolutionary Education, and as a Commissar of the Committee for Revolutionary Security. She is a longtime member of the National Presidium, and a strong hardliner voice within national politics.
Xeredex
Appearance: The former professor is short for a Lokken, with a frail body. His scales are green, and frequently flake off his body. Because of his affliction, he wears long, thick robes to hide his scars. His left eye was made blind in the early stages of treatment, consequently making Xeredex wear a hi-tech monocle for his half-blind right eye. Yet, despite all of this, he walks with a defiant gait, and while he doesn’t speak often, his gravelly voice demands respect.
Personality: Three decades of living in Lokken space, and five years living in the Common and United League of Orion, has created an anomaly. Xeredex is calm—alarmingly so—in every situation. Sometimes, he’ll be as still as a rock, with his only movements being his chest rising when he breathes. His former students on Lokkur described him as apathetic; but this is not true, because Xeredex simply only shows those who he can call ‘friend’ his emotions. Years of having been a teacher, as well as a member of the Peace for Lokkites movement, has granted him patience and wisdom even if he’s only thirty-five. In every work setting, he has been complimented on his diligence. Give him a task, and expect it done two hours earlier than requested. Overall, Xeredex is a hardworking, loyal, calm, and intelligent Lokken, who’d do anything—so long as it doesn’t break the law—if asked.
Biography: Xeredex was born to a long line of intellectuals on Lokkur. Most, if not all, of his family were professors or award-winning scientists that graduated with a PhD from the University of Associated Cybers. From a young age, Xeredex was pushed around, stuck in a tug-o-war between his father and mother. The former wanted his son to become his successor and pass on the tradition of graduating UAC, while the latter wanted her son to live life how he wanted. Even in elementary school, Xeredex was constantly yelled at, demanding that he throw away his friends in pursuit of top-notch grades. After all, UAC was a prestigious university.
Having a sheltered childhood, as well as a strict father, led Xeredex to become disillusioned with his family’s traditions. When time came for him to apply to a university, Xeredex ran away with a girlfriend he was secretly dating for months. The authorities were called, labeling them both as runaways. Fortunately for Xeredex, he was able to escape from his father’s clutches. Shortly after, Xeredex became a part of the controversial, underground Peace for Lokkites movement, that wanted an end to the war between Lokkens and Lokkites. His talent for organizing rallies, spreading propaganda, and recruitment was recognized immediately. Xeredex became an official member of the movement in only three weeks, and was beginning to climb the ranks.
Before everyone else understood what was happening, Xeredex ran away from his friends and his new family, having realized a terrible truth. One month later, members of the movement were caught inciting insurrection, spreading weapons to citizens, and attempting to destabilize the country. They were promptly arrested, imprisoned for treason, and sentenced for life. The Lokken government used it as propaganda against the Lokkites, who had in actuality supplied the arrested movement members with weapons and intelligence. It was a game, a game in which Xeredex had the foresight to leave before it began.
Years later, Xeredex reunited with his estranged family and told them he was becoming a professor of Cybersecurity at UAC. It took him nearly a decade to accomplish this feat, thanks to his attachment with the Peace for Lokkites movement, but he persevered. In his second year of teaching, Xeredex was diagnosed with a rare, unusual disease that left most of its bearers crippled for life. As a result, Xeredex lost sight in his left eye, and had to buy a hi-tech monocle to see out of his right. Four years later, Xeredex retired and emigrated to the Common and United League of Orion.

Caderyn
There was never an 'overworld'. Just the underworld... and the surface. The surface was rarely brought up. When it was, merchants peddled it like it was a mythical realm outside their reach. That all changed whenever Orion met the Celianans. In a blink of an eye, everything was undone. Centuries of beliefs were unraveled. With the surface's reemergence in politics and day-to-day life, the bonds between each Celianan ruler were beginning to fade as venomous words were exchanged. Here, in the kingdom colloquially known as Wyrmrest, sat the Protector and his son. A minor kingdom, who thrived from a system of fresh water springs, was beginning to see change at a rapid rate.
The prince was the king's firstborn. As such, he was taught how to fight, lead at war and peace, and rule over Wyrmrest with a gentle, open hand that fed everyone. High or low. The prince—Caderyn—grew haughty and dismissed his father's teachings as his arrogance spiraled out of control. With each passing year during his adolescence, Caderyn's ambition grew. He should rule. Not his father, or anyone else. The Celianan way of life was threatened by outsiders and this 'Revolution'. Caderyn decided against his family's wishes. He'd don the mantle of All-Protector. The first kingdoms would be unified; the first Celianan 'empire' would be born.

Mason Loh
My name is Mason Loh. I'm 57 years old. My house was in the northeast sector of Sanctuary, where all the stacks are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Highest Court in the Country, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm Marsblast and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

The middle-aged Liaran has a wide nose, with a white-whiskered ‘beard’ below it, resembling a Van Dyke style around his lips. Mazil-jo’s blue, cybernetic, right eye casts an eerie shadow on his face. If the eye is the gateway to the soul, then Mazil-jo’s soul would be sad; his other, heavy-lidded eye, has black streaks resembling tears running down his cheek, earning him his moniker of “The Crying Cat.
(His cybernetic eye has a strong enough laser to blind someone, however, it is not recommended to exhaust this function in fear of permanent tissue damage)"
