my brain just *loves* to come up with characters, huh?

hell, some junk divers might use his experiences to gauge how dangerous a job might be

if Lucky got injured, they'll probably fare much worse

Lucky *is* lucky, but only relative to other junk divers.

Lucky is a smaller sendaen who excels in junk diving, using his arsenal of utilities to find and retrieve lost data. He has had many run-ins with pirates and corporate thugs, and lost one of his horns to an automated defense system.

His trusty Flashbang is his only defense a lot of the time, but it works well for the "Ace of Spades". (His nickname in Junk Diver circles, owing to his snout emblem)

Calytrix is a big buff sendaen who works as an independent bounty hunter in Manifest. She uses brutal tactics that would churn the stomachs of other, more typical bounty hunters, and is extremely aggressive towards others.

She has a long-standing hatred for Lotus Pilots, as she feels they get in the way of her ability to turn in a large number of her bounties. (She tries to avoid them unless a kill contract makes it so she has to get past one)

Vi is a stealthy sendaen who originally coalesced on a laptop belonging to a lead weapons technician for a certain megacorp.

They are on the run from said megacorp as well as a competing megacorp, as they have both the only working prototype of an experimental Manifest weapon that can temporarily scramble code of other combat programs, as well as tons of sensitive corporate data they gathered during coalescense (though only Vi and the one megacorp know this)

So far I've got three (3) sendaens:
-Vi
-Calytrix
-Lucky

i'll work on bios for all of 'em over the next lil bit

Yes, he's missing a horn.

He lost it in an accident and while he could easily just restore the code for it he likes the look!

His weapon is WP_Flashbang.L10. It's a throwable sphere of light that does minimal damage to link integrity but explodes in a stunning flash of light and sound. Its intent is to completely disorient the target while Lucky runs away.

It almost always works unless the target has some form of protection against blinding debuffs.

Lucky, being a Junk Diver, has an arsenal of functional programs that allow him to search for lost data. He also, however, carries a weapon program for emergencies as well as a recall program that sends him back to his home (albeit at the cost of losing whatever he may have collected).

and here's the Junk Diver, Lucky!

now to work on Lucky

i'm a dumbass and somehow thought the scale for combat program levels in Manifest was 1 to 10 instead of 1 to 20

Calytrix has a strong opinion of Lotus Pilots

and an updated image of Calytrix showing SkullPiercer

i'd imagine Calytrix has at least one or two bounties on her head because of her brutal tactics and aggressive behavior

@Galuade@snouts.online i just got an idea for a junk diver sendaen named Lucky, send help

me: okay i made another sendaen, happy now brain?

my brain: okay but what if another idea for another sendaen

With this in mind, however, there's another reason why that corporation wants Vi captured: They have data that, if released, could spell disaster for the corporation. Much of this was acquired during their coalescence, though

Calytrix and the other bounty hunters don't know this, and Vi only knows because they still have ties to that corporation's network

Vi is wanted by one particular corporation because they have the only properly-functioning copy of Disrupt (All other copies just don't work, and the corp needs their data to determine why.)
The bounty for their capture is huge.

Calytrix is one of the bounty hunters looking for them and is also the hottest on their trail.
