Name: Jacob "Jake" Paracs

Appearance: A baseline human in his mid-30's. Short-length black hair, green eyes, and a tall build leaning towards the slender side.

Species: Straight-up human & humanoid in form.
     +He is used to dealing with all kinds of simple equipment & machinery (guns, radios, electrical devices, tools, etc.), and can jury-rig things in a hurry if he needs to. If you want stuff fixed, or want custom pieces made, he's your man.
     ~Years and years of inoculation and bodily reinforcement to the atmosphere, microbiomes, and alien toxins of other worlds have given him a far better than average resistance to certain environments and pathogens. However, it also tends to make him more vulnerable to others. If he encounters a poison he's used to, he might shrug it off - or a foreign one might lay him out like a rag doll.
     -He has very little idea of how to handle "new-fangled glitterboxes", i.e. advanced technology or anything beyond a personal computer. It was always the "other guys" that handled that angle.

Inventory:
     -Common clothes.
     -A bar code bracelet with his personal information, unlocked if his vital signs flatline.

Background: Jake was a "Pioneer" - a first-in colonial engineer. He was trained to touch down in untamed regions, and get all the initial equipment necessary to establishing a foothold set up and functioning. This included occasionally walking the perimeter lines with a rifle in hand. His broad skillset and penchant for exploring new and often hostile regions made the chance of doing this for a real profit almost irresistible.

Name: R-12 PROTO UNIT 204, or RPU204 for short.

Appearance: A robotic humanoid built for combat and exploration. skeleton-like frame with grayish-black plating, bluish-cyan lights, and a sturdy torso and head due to those parts containing important stuff for the robot to function, like sight sensors, the internal battery, AI system, and power management.

Species: Robot - It's a robot.
   +Being made of metal confers extra durability, and can stop smaller bullet calibers.
   +No blood, so bleeding isn't an issue.
   +Microjets allow for extra strength and can mitigate the problems of heavy weight.
   ~Doesn't need to eat, but hunger is replaced by power usage of the robot's internal battery.
   ~Due to being mechanical and not organic, conventional medical supplies won't work, but mechanical repairing tools will. If a part is destroyed, a new one can be installed.
   -While waterproof, all that metal and circuitry is somewhat heavy, so sinking in water will be accelerated.
   -Can be severely harmed by electrical shock and electromagnetic pulses.
   -Coolant can freeze if exposed to extreme cold, and can overheat even with the coolant if exposed to extreme heat.

Inventory: Nothing (yet).

Background: A prototype robot produced by some corporation specialized in robotics. Unfortunately, the transport drone taking the robot from the planet it was made on to the place it would be displayed to investors crash landed onto the planet where the inital get-the-equipment-and-spaceship part of the RTD happens. RPU204 was the only robot that didn't get destroyed in the crash.

Name: Pylo XIII.
Appearance: A slender and tall blob of some sort of green oozing liquid. Vaguely humanoid, as stated. Tall long-coat reaching up to where his nose should be, and the top of his face is covered by a large conductor hat. You can see one eye poking out of it, purely white with a small black iris, pristine amongst the goo that surrounds it.
