Name: Dr. Richard O'Kane
Race: Posthuman
Gender: Male
Age: 128
History: a former chief technical consultant on the Star Clearance program of old, Dr. O'Kane made a killing, both figuratively and literally, off blowing up troublesome stars with advanced (well, not so much anymore, obviously) technology, gaining a pension to practically last him a lifetime as well as a free pass on life extension procedures to make that lifetime as long as humanly possible, which by this time is rather long indeed. And though he's not worked in thermostellar engineering for over twenty years due to the declaration on the part of EarthGov that blowing up stars is cruel, unusual and unnecessary, no matter the aesthetic and other benefits thousands of years down the line, and he really does miss the job terribly. Pretty much all he's been doing the past ten years is going over his secret schematics, plotting how to build bigger and better thermostellar devices, how to cause more interesting stellar after-formations, ideas for Dyson spheres that could be built around specifically blown-up stars and more. Eventually he just couldn't take it, and moved out to seek a ship to offer his expertise to - surely they could see the benefit in having a guy who could potentially build an honest-to-God star bomb, right? Just think of the ransoms they could get!
Appearance: looks about sixty in human terms due to life extension and improvement treatments, all on EarthGov's dime, he might add, wears a strange sweater, khakis and dress shoes as a general rule, wears contact lenses and has an honest face. Hair is graying, since he's missed his latest renewal procedure, and he has a wizened look to him in general, with subtle hints of excitement and mania at this new life he's throwing himself into.
Inventory: a 20-year-old issue of
Thermostellar Quarterly in which he keeps a set of hand-drawn schematics of thermostellar devices, a platinum EarthGov VIP credit card that should work for a few weeks before they realize he's fled and joined up with space pirates, clothes, a personal ZY-53 plasma pistol (quite old, but kept in pristine condition by its fastidious owner) kept in a concealed holster.
Abilities and stuff:
foremost expert at building and operating thermostellar devices,
highly competent astrophysicist,
slightly advanced age,
life extension mania.
