Name: Malderik Bizonry
Description: Madlerik is quite tall, even for the Order of Life, and bears a thick mustache that he takes great care in grooming. Long golden hair is tied into three ponytails, the bases of which are vertically aligned along the back of his head. His left arm and part of his leg are gone, replaced by bionic inserts, and his left lung no longer functions, implants being used to keep enough oxygen circulating. Not particularly muscular, he is quite intelligent, if stubborn, but not handsome by many standards. Innumerable implants and 'improvements' scar his body, as well as plain battle scars and wounds. His left eyes in particular, though only the observant would notice, has been replaced by an advanced camera and processor, equipped with a variety of functions. It looks extremely similar to his other eye, though that side of his face is burned and scars, he doesn't have eyelids for that eye, and tiny, glowing blue lines occasionally dance across it.
Biography: A high ranking military commander and politician, Malderik is the leader of the Technocrats, being recruited at the age of 15 during a particularly hard-pressed time, when the Habitation-Frigate Sol's Children and it's fleet of escorts turned heretical, claiming the Order's way of life to be changing the human species for the worse, and began to strip mine a vibrant planet ripe for supporting life in a few millenia. He proved himself time and time again, though when he was an Acolytech, his sleeve got stuck in a Burst Engine drive piston assembly as it activated...it cost him most of his left hand, and severed the nerves a little above his wrist. Despite the injury, he eventually became a Gear-Priest, tasked with overseeing the rituals and maintenance of an entire ship. Forced to take command of it during a particularly dangerous battle, when an entire gun battery mutinied, he managed to keep the ship not only alive, but destroy three of the enemy's frigates with a risky maneuver that did blow out a small section of the ships engines. In wake of this, he quickly rose up the commanding ranks, leading from the front in boarding missions,
Organisation name: Guardians of Hope(more commonly called the Technocrats)
Description: A combination of scientists, industrialists, and militarists, the Guardians advocate to always push the envelope. Resource hungry, their politicians constantly lobby to try and get more ways of obtaining resources; whether it be asking for another exception allowing worlds without the means to support life to be mined, or attempting to build support for the construction of massive solar stations, to gather solar power release from suns, store it, and transport it. Believing themselves to be invariably loyal to the species and their way of life, Technocrats also have a side that is less popular...they believe that to be most efficient, farms should be created, to grow edible material from solar energy, continuously. This material would be 'shaved' off, shaped, textured, and flavored. A step back towards the old ways, some say. Malderik leads as a valiant commander, popular with most soldiers, and an ever-onward striving individual, seeking to escape boundaries and confinements, and improve the Order through technology and innovation.
-Economical power: Quite strong; many scientists and businesses alike find home in their organization, and so the 'Crats have a surprising amount of funding and support for their size and purpose.
-Military power: Also quite strong, as many soldiers, particularly the lower ranks, find their practices to be helpful at keeping them alive. They also advocate more pay for soldiers, which is of course always a plus...
-Popularity: Unpopular with many of the more pious members of the Order, claiming the Guardians of Hope to be misguided and backwards at best, and heretics and vile sinners at worst. Most military members like it, though, as it not only appeals to most and contains many officers, but consistently and often successfully implements new technolgies and medical practices for the military. Hunters have been hounding them for many years, though they've found no evidence yet.
