Name: Threshinar Cathsalo (formerly Grathalin Cathsalo)

Callsign: N/A

Pronouns: she/xir

What unique thing does your character bring to the Contingency?: Efficient project management, and effective control of resources.

What form does your character take?: A maglev trainyard and the surrounding railway.

What were you before joining the Contingency?: A Nassoid.

Who were you before signing up?: Train conductor, and avid model railway builder.

Public Bio: “There are said to be three 'E's in effective project management: Efficiency, Efficiency, Efficiency. Wrong. Two of those are superfluous, the last is streamlined and elegant. These are the lessons I will be teaching you, on your way to becoming a cornerstone of Mythhaler” – An opening for a lesson given by G. Cathsalo, volunteer instructor for the Contingency Training Program, later a signup xirself.

Private Bio: Grathalin was a train conductor, keeping track of schedules and managements, making sure it all ran on time. When the volunteer initiative was pushed, she signed on to become an instructor, and later a Mind for the Contingency. It's the perfect system, according to her. Any system can be optimised, and this is simply one more for xir to do in order to find an ideal utilitarian solution to Mythhaler's crises.

Modules [Pick 3]:

• Established Facilities [Construction] (The trainyard has a massive deposit of well-maintained trains, letting me be a Producer of trains)
• Improvised Vehicles [Transport] (The repair shops in the trainyard are able to retrofit carriages with available resources. Also combos with Established Facilities)
• Shared Roads [Transport] (The rail network is expansive, and is available for others to use, at my discretion)

Gameplay Quirks [Max. 4]:

• Another Me (More trains, and I want someone to debate logistics with)

• Hit Me Harder

Name: Raphlali Kiron

Callsign: Raphli

Pronouns: he/they

What unique thing does your character bring to the Contingency?: I was a part of the Second Chancers recruitment initiative, trying to find a better place for myself.

What form does your character take?: Agricultural Plant

What were you before joining the Contingency?: A Nassigussa

Who were you before signing up?: Convict, but was formerly a line cook before losing my job.

Public Bio: A quiet, resolute agricultural facility, who always seems to earnestly do their best to succeed at the task at hand. They don't speak much about their personal life, though they seem to know Brick, the convict, quite well.

Private Bio: I killed him. For what? For trying to arrest me? For doing his job? I had no choice. I lost my job, I had to provide for myself and my brother but… this wasn't the way. The robbery was supposed to be the answer, not the problem. How did it go so wrong?

My life is here now; the four walls of this prison. I only hope I can have one last chance to do good in the world.

[Dear GMs, I'm wanting you to really twist the knife with this one, make him feel things >:)]

Modules [Pick 3]:

• Abundant Producer [Construction] (My agricultural processes allow efficient food production)
• Crisis Coordinator [Oversight] (Built-in food distribution network. It's important I know where and when people are in need of food, so I can prepare my processes in time.)
• Communications Network [Relations] (Radio antennae, reaching up through the plants on my roof. It's also important I can get it where I need to, in time to help others)

Gameplay Quirks [Max. 4]:

• Second Chancer (I killed a fellow Nassian in desperation. This is the only chance I have to atone.)
• Shared Stories (A fellow convict, now going by Brick, also made it through the program. I… am not sure they have the best interests at heart, but I don't know how to make sure.)
• Prescribed Purpose (I have a second shot at life. I can't waste it, I have to live it as best I can.)
• Bug In The System (The pesticide systems in my facility don't work reliably. I'm working to fix it, but crops sometimes entirely fail, and I can't seem to work out why. Is it safe for me to continue?)

Playstyle Quirks [No Limit]:

• Make Me Cry, Specifically
• Another Me
• More Gore

Private Bio: Gissanri was a nursery teacher, and loved his job. But the state of the world was scary; what would his kids grow up to be a part of? When the Contingency program was announced, he signed up as soon as it was made public. His children will be protected. All of them.
