Mako Useful - It takes a lot to get kicked out of a family business, much less two of them. But Mako somehow managed. Since then he handles low risk, low priority contraband and keeps his ear to the ground gathering information for his current employer - the Integrated Haven Port Authority. A good enough smuggler to be a risk to himself, the arrangement with the Authority means he can pull a heavier load when he wants to. The real danger is the tendency to shoot his mouth of when he does.
Kristopher Riordan -A programmer suffering from "head trauma" and botched experimental surgery to repair the damage, Kristopher shouldn't need the intense personal security that trails him everywhere. If that's all he was, he wouldn't. A failed attempt to decant a clone of Paladin Consortium's CEO Maxwell Hyperion, narcissism keeps him from having Kristopher destroyed. Smug and overconfident the surgery did the trick, Kristopher is allowed a wide range of freedom under Dragoon Ventures Unlimited's auspices. As a copy of Maxwell Hyperion, there are myriad uses for Kris and his biomass - his existence is one of Maxwwell's best kept secrets.
Jana Hyperion - Breaking free from her father's orbit, Jana seeks to burn his conglomerate empire to the ground and build her own from its ashes. For that she needs two things: Kristopher Riordan's scrambled egg brain and a skilled psion to pull out its secrets. She knows her father is in deep with nefarious entities and has a dark agenda to match, she needs to prove it though. Going solo provides a cover to assemble a rolodex of deniable assets and dangerous people, all in service of the larger goal.
Fragged Empire is having their second kickstarter for the Protagonist Archive, four new species and expanded brain powers abound. If you're seeing this, then you're probably already part of the Fragged Empire community and you should kick in your $2 if you haven't already.
