THE QUORUM OF TWELVE

MAIN (PLAYER) CHARACTERS - MILITARY

Name: Colonel Mary Ricken
Role: XO (Executive Officer, Battlestar Promethea
Notes: Served on Promethea for the last three years. Driven, intense officer. Seen as even-handed but tough. Very tough. Sir. Had a relationsip with Marine Lieutenant Kenneth Durrance, who was killed by Marine Sergeant Hephaestus "Red" Cranford in a bar brawl several months ago. Only known "friendship" is with Chief Petty Officer Cassidy Vance, who share a hobby of assembling scale-model ship replicas.
Player: Ben B.
Name: Lieutenant Terence Hermes
Call Sign: "Rogue"
Role: Viper Pilot, Battlestar Promethea
Notes: Crack Viper pilot and protégé of Commander Titus. Irrepressible. Can't be called "overconfident" until he doesn't come back from a mission. Likes to tease only slightly less than he likes to fly.
Player: Don I.
Name:Lieutenant Shane Darago
Call Sign: "Paladin"
Role: Raptor Pilot, Battlestar Promethea
Notes: Large, affable man. Tends to be assigned the duty of orienting new Raptor ECO's (Electronic Countermeasure Officers). Honest, gregarious, devout. Will gladly share any number of his entrancing but lengthy parables, but only if you bring up the gods first. "Athena? Let me tell you a story about Athena..."
Player: GhenKi T.
Name: Lieutenant Eli Boreas
Call Sign:
Role: Tactical Officer, Battlestar Promethea
Notes: Serious, reserved young officer. Entered Fleet Academy because of math & sciences scores on his aptitude test, and the recommendation of his counselor (probably a Vance relative). Upon graduation, served on Picon at Calliope Shipyard for two years coordinating ship Jumps. Served one year aboard Battlstar Pegasus, quickly transferred to Promethea. Romantically linked to Marine Corporal Tonya Keil, member of marine squad led by Sergeant Hephaestus "Red" Cranford. Boreas shows signs of coming out of his shell, though what will emerge is anyone's guess.
Player: Andi B.
Name: Chief Petty Officer Cassidy Vance
Role: Senior NCO, Flight Deck Chief
Notes: Calm, collected engineer. Could write the book on "Zen and the Art of Battlestar Maintenence," if anyone knew what "Zen" was. Comes from a large family of horse-ranchers on Picon, with with many relatives formerly and currently serving in the Colonial Fleet. Brother Aaron Vance (call sign: "Stallion") is Viper Pilot aboard Battlestar Pegasus.
Casting: Linda Hamilton
Player: Leslie L.
Name: Marine Sergeant Hephaestus Cranford
Nickname: "Red"
Role: Marine Squad Leader, Battlestar Promethea
Notes: Hard drinking, hard living Marine whose healthy(?) disrespect for authority always keeps him on the edge of a discharge. Killed Colonel Ricken's lover, Lieutenant Kenneth Durrance, in a bar fight some months ago. While he was cleared of criminal charges at the emotionally-charged hearing, "Gunny Red" was busted down a rank for use of excessive force in self-defense (he pulled a sidearm). Looking at some serious Brig time if Marine Commander,
Lieutenant Edward Butler, even hears Cranford sneeze funny.

MAIN (PLAYER) CHARACTERS - CIVILIAN

Name: Leland Otis
Role: Assistant Administrator, Daedalus Research Station
Notes: Middle-aged, middle-management, middle child...overall middling. As Assistant Administrator, has risen to the level of his incompetence. Nevertheless, he has thrown himself into his work to the extent that his wife, Mechelle, is considering unsealing the marriage. Mr. Otis intends to overcome his workaholism and make it up to Mechelle and kids (daughterAleka, age 10, son Tymon, age 16) as soon as they arrive, and the whole family goes on a long-overdue vacation...
Player: Ben B.
Name: Johnathan Sterenger
Role: Chemical Scientist, Daedalus Research Station
Notes:At age 25, youngest lead scientist on Daedalus. Smart and ambitious. Wants more from life than to analyze gas and willing to bend the rules to get it. Also helped bend the rules to hire co-worker Susan Navarro's son, Gaylen. Let him stare at the spectral chromatagraph for a change while some real business gets done.
Player: Mike H.
Name: Susan Navarro
Role: Systems Administrator, Daedalus Reasearch Station
Notes: Old-guard programmer, software reactionary. Tough old bird who has a green thumb with computers, as well as her hobby hydroponic garden. Widowed. Mother of one child, Gaylen Navarro, who she secured a job on Daedalus Station through dubious means.
Casting: Kathy Bates
Player: Leslie L.

Notes: Former top-selling real estate agent, married 18 years ago at age 23 to then-councilman Cletus Mason. They have one daugher, Tammy, age 17. Active in society circles. Although she doesn't pretend to understand politics - publicly - she is visibly very supportive and "helpful" to her husband. Behind every great man is a woman, ordering the table linens.
Player: Andi B.

SUPPORTING (NON-PLAYER) CHARACTERS

Name: Commander Samuel Titus
Call Sign: "Sunshine" (from time as Raptor Pilot on Battlestar Athena)
Role: Commanding Officer, Battlestar Promethea
Notes: Oldest Commander in the Colonial Fleet. Authoritative grandfather figure to the crew. Always has a ready smile and a good word - until he needs to take you to the wood shed. Has commanded Promethea since its commisioning six years ago. Used to be an accomplished oil painter. A night shift officer or insomniac crewmember might spy Titus walking the decks of the Promethea in the wee hours of the morning, like a restless monarch pacing the midnight ramparts on the eve of battle.
Casting: Morgan Freeman
Name: Jeffrey (Jeff) Akre
Role: Administrator, Daedalus Research Station
Notes: Akre is a stocky Asian man in his mid-fifties, an ex-military non-com who seems to take things on their face value.  If it's in the manual, that's the way it's going to be, by the gods, and don't confuse the issue with exceptions.  Stop whining and get back to work. The most recent example is that the scheduled resupply ships are now two days overdue.  He's informed the station that a data packet says they should be here within 48 hours, so we sit and wait, by the gods.  Get back to work.
Casting: Sonny Chiba
Name: Dr. Dorrie Kaige
Role: Lead Scientist, Daedalus Research Station
Notes: A tall (5'11") athletic woman in her late thirties with dark blonde hair. Lead scientist of the team studying soliton gasses in the nebula, a plum posting by the standards of academia.  Capable of great grace and graciousness, Dr. Kaige shows a vicious tenacity against those who get on her bad side.  Rumors link her romantically with Administrator Akre.  These are most likely lies borne of jealousy, or stem from the observed fact that Akre and Kaige butt heads like ex-spouses.
Casting: Lucy Lawless
Name: Dr. Wallace Harper
Role: Lead Scientist, Daedalus Research Station
Notes: Lead scientist of the Astrophysics team.  Age 61, 5'9", balding, and the epitome of nerdy astronomers.  Also holds a degree in astrophysics, quantum physics, and something else so esoteric no one can seem to remember what it is.  Rarely speaks in anything outside of scientific jargon. 
Casting: Pete Postlethwaite

Name: Marine Lieutenant Edward Butler
Role: Marine Commander, Battlestar Promethea

Name: Marine Lieutenant Kenneth Durrance, deceased

Name: Ava "Hammer" Gordon
Role: Viper Pilot, Battlestar Promethea

Name: Lieutenant Randy "Blackjack" Hill

Name: Lieutenant Renata "Shark" Frissell
