Alright, the fifteenth? That gives me four days to faff about, three days to panic, one day for personal business, and then three days to kick myself into gear and write these chucklenuts into existence. Best get on it now, then.

Mostly just a loose date, but meant to provide a transition from working on bios to working on negative week, which is before January 15th in-story.

Since we're all on the subject of songs, mind If I recommend a really good youtube artist? He tackles many genres but his preferred seems to be rock, he also does almost exclusively original video game based songs and has been around a very long time. His music is entirely done by him and aided by editing software to make it flow together. (Not autotune).
For Zombie, because I know you like Bioshock.
For all you Mass Effect fans.
A Personal favorite of mine for it's atmosphere and how well it captures the game.
And Finally, he does more comedic songs too, like this one based off Pudge from Dota 2.
Tell me if you like him, he's a really great artist that deserves much, much more attention.

Here is the first of my two a day characters. Mentioned having a Tamearin character yesterday. Here she is:
Name: Korra Devolina
Title/Role: Soldier (Destroyer)
Age: 21
DoB: July 17th, 2022
Sex: Female
Place of Birth: Belora, Capital City of Ferisanto, Tamear
Race/Nationality: Tamearin/Royal Ferisantan
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 155 lbs
Hair Color: Deep Red
Hair Style : Long, Flowing, Nearly knee length
Eye Color: Violet
Immediate Family: Foranda Devolina (Mother), Neiro Devolina (Father), Geshtal Devolina (Brother)
Place of Residence before XSDF: Belora, Ferisanto
Appearance:
Like most Tamearin, Korra is in excellent shape, strong, attractive, with curves and assets that catch the eyes of others as soon as she walks into a room, and she isn't afraid to show off. Her hair in particular catches one's eyes, long and lush, a deep blood red. She draws attention with her looks, though, when she is actually spoken to...
Personality:
Korea has a very brash attitude. She is inexperienced when it comes to socializing with others, not used to talking to people who don't immediately think there is something wrong with her, and has long since given up trying. She says what she wants with very little censoring, and she is incredibly quick to anger.
Beneath her harsh nature, however, is a decent person who acts out to drive people away, knowing all too well what they might be capable when they get too close. She is surprisingly defensive of those she believes are in need of help, and has a soft spot for children, at least well behaved ones. She can he incredibly harsh on troublesome children.
Bio:
It was evident from the time Korra was a baby that something was wrong with her, as she cried, laughed, and fussed much more then your average child. Worried their child might be incapable of suppressing her emotions like most Tamearins, the royal house of Devolina did all they could to change this, from tutoring, to assisted psionic training, to pleas to those they could trust to keep their secrets. Nothing worked, and Korra's emotions became more and more of a problem as she grew, and such a public entity could not keep the child's ailment secret forever.
As Korra entered her formal education, the once happy child soon turn miserable. To say Tamearins suppress their emotions is not to say they have no emotions, and childhood in particular is a transitional period in which all children must develop their mental blocks. That said, these children had enough malice and contempt to make Korra's childhood a living hell. She was bullied relentlessly, sometimes violently. Her parents had little time to assist, and could not encourage Korra's negative emotions by acknowledging her growing anger, and her brother considered her a disgrace, either turning a blind eye to her plight, of encouraging her tormentors.
Korra's only friend was her grandmother, Kurli. Aged to the point when Tamearin emotional control broke down, Kurli was a crude woman with a violent temper, and Korra loved her. Korra inherited her sour attitude and foul mouth from her. Kurli was the only person Korra could talk to, and the only one who defended her. Kurli used her position as a respected former chancellor to keep Korra's parents, or their peers, from abandoning Korra, but she sadly passed away when Korra was sixteen.
With their daughter now without her only friend in the world and on the verge of lashing out violently, Korra's parents followed Kurli's dying wish to look outside of Tamear. They turned to the humans and the XSDF, requesting they except her and use the human's knowledge of emotions that the Tamearins were now inexperienced with. The heads of the XSDF at the time were reluctant, but they could not refuse the request of Korra's parents, who were currently ambassador for the Tamearin people.
Korra has spent the last five years in training, a struggle for both her and her instructors, as they have had to be very, very patient. She has finally convinced them to release her for active duty, and she wonders if she can find her place in this alien organization when she couldn't find it in the entirety of her own world.
Special Notes:
Korra has shown signs of psionic potential, not surprising considering her face, and her hair color implies she will be a red psion. Like nearly all Tamearins, Korra will completely object to gene-mods and voluntary cybernetics, and is not afraid to voice her opinion on the subject.
Korra possess a pair of odd looking swords, like curved, nearly three foot saws on the end of long hilts. A switch on the side of the hilt super heats the teeth with plasma energy, allowing her to cut through most objects like butter. She is incredibly protective of her swords, as they were apparently a gift from her grandmother, and despite they're power, she uses them very infrequently.

And since I'm not sure I'll have time later, but I have time now, so here is the second bio for the day. Keep in mind, there are little tweaks I have to make to them, like grammar problems, changing measurements to metric, and so forth. Last one was a new face, so her is an old, and older, face.
Name: Brigid O'Brien
Title/Role: Soldier
Age: 32 (appears 26.5)
DoB: Aug 26th, 2011
Sex: Female
Place of Birth: Tipperary, County Tipperary, Ireland
Nationality: Irish
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 122 lbs
Hair Color: Blond w/ red streaks
Hair Style : To small of back when straight, usually kept in a ponytail
Eye Color: Violet-Blue
Immediate Family: Morrigan O'Brien (Mother), John O'Brien (Father), Galen O'Brien (Brother)
Place of Residence before XSDF: Unknown.
Appearance:
Brigid has fair skin and exited, youthful eyes. She keeps her blond hair streaked with red to honor her mother. Unless she is upset, she always seems to smile. She keeps her petite form in excellent shape, and beneath her weak looking body is a powerhouse.
Personality:
Brigid has a sunny disposition, usually smiling, always outgoing. She has, however, inherited some of her mother's temper, and will snap if pushed too far. She is proud of her figure to some extent, but can be very touchy about a certain part of her anatomy. Caution is suggested around this touchy subject.
Bio:
Born to Morrigan O'Brien and Daniel Hunnigan, two former military officials. The two were divorced when Brigid was only four, a hard thing for a child to go through, but she was fortunate that her parents agreed on how her custody would be handled, and they stayed on good terms.
Shortly after the alien attacks began, Brigid was sent to stay with her maternal grandparents when her father reenlisted to fight the aliens. Her mother, who had rejoined the Irish military after the divorce, had since been made Commander of the XCOM project, and she soon moved Brigid to the safety of the base. However, she was soon targeted by an Incubator spy, controlled by the Ethereal Overseer of Australia, and became her unknowing puppet. Before the Incubator could be dealt with, Brigid had psionics unlocked through the direct contact with a psionic device core and the Ethereal's energy, making her the youngest to ever have their potential unlocked on Earth.
Brigid struggled with maintaining control over her powers, using them responsibly, and the effects they had on her young body, but by war's end, she had a handle on them thanks to the help she received from a number of individuals. Shortly after the XSDF was established, her mother left the project, and the military, to start a peaceful life. Brigid had lost her father during the war, but found peace with her mother and new adoptive father.
Despite her mother's best attempts, Brigid had been exposed to military life for too long, and it caught her eye. This caused the two to drift apart when Brigid hit her teens, and it was only thanks to Brigid's adopted father that they were able to reconcile before Brigid graduated high school and joined the Irish Defense Force.
Despite having high marks all around, and being a much sought after psion (even if her experience with them was low due to lack of use in order to fit in), Brigid asked her mother to get her discharged, not because it was too difficult, but because of lacked the challenge she had expected, the XCOM like excitement she had hoped for. At the age of 22, Brigid left the Irish military and dropped off the face of the Earth, only her family knowing where she was. Evidence shows she traveled the world, and even between colonies, seeking out her former allies from XCOM and learning all she could in every possible field, from psionics, to weapon use, to fighting, to survival.
After ten years, Brigid suddenly appeared at a XSDF recruitment center, and passed their entrance exams and fitess assessment with flying colors. Brigid hopes to put her years of training to good use, and to find the challenge she hoped for with the XSDF.
Special Notes:
Brigid has high marks in most firearms, and can fit most roles. She has had top of the line, rear to get gene-mods in her arms and legs, giving her incredible strength that will always catch an unsuspecting opponent off guard. She is proficient in most red and violet psionics and many blue and orange psionics. However, her energy is often higher than she can handle, even after years of training. She only relies on psionics when necessary, and has regulators that allow her to release her energy in specific degrees, much like a more sophisticated manner of what Aya Brea once used.

Guess I'll hop up on the bandwagon and post mine.
Name: Camellia Marigold Cross.
Nickname: 'Winter'
Title/Role: Base Therapist
Age: 22 (Appears 20)
DoB: January 9th, 2022
Sex: Female
Place of Birth: New York City, New York.
Nationality: White/American.
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 137 lbs
Hair Color: White (Dyed) Brown (Natural)
Hair Style : Medium length hair tied back with two front bangs.
Hair Length: To the Base of neck.
Eye Color: Violet.
Immediate Family: Mother: Ammelia Cross, 48. Mother: Buniq Cross, 42 . Grandfather: David Cross, 77
Place of Residence before XSDF: Cross Technologies Tower, New York City, New York.
Appearance: Camellia has a fairly average build, not exactly skinny but certainly not someone you could call fat with a bust slightly larger than her mother Ammelia's C cup. Thanks to her hybrid mother's DNA, Camellia is one fourth Chryssalid. This shows through violet plates of chitin on her upper arms and back along with slight bulges on both her lower arms caused by barely formed, useless blades under her skin. Camellia's plates are much smaller than her mother's and much less visible, they also cannot be raised through her skin to protect her like her mother's can, as there are much fewer plates to work with. Winter also loved playing Dungeons and Dragons with her parents whenever she could, growing quite fond of the elven races in the game. As such, she underwent a surgery during her college years that pointed her ears, she combined this with her white hair dye to achieve a 'high elf' type of look.
Personality: Camellia is much more willful than both of her mothers, making her want to take charge of situations and call the shots, even when she isn't in the position to do so exactly. Even so, she is calm and intelligent when she needs to be, but prefers not to stay that way all the time as she finds it boring. Camellia has many friends and has always been a social girl with an optimistic personality like her mother Ammelia, but while being born into the business world made Ammy more polite, it made Camellia much more adventurous and daring. Watching her mother and grandfather play with such high stakes excited Winter greatly, causing her to love taking risks when she could and make the most out of her day-to-day. Her Aunt Mary only increased this love of adrenaline, taking her on roller coasters and various other forms of risky fun every time she visited, despite worrying both of her mothers. Winter is a psion and loves using her violet psionics more than anything, she practices with them as much as she can and enjoys the act of controlling people, so much so that it has grown into a sort of fetish of hers that she keeps a secret from the rest of her family, lest they think of her as weird. She, however, has learned from her mother Ammelia the danger's of her abilities and knows full well not to forcefully control someone unless absolutely necessary, therefore, Camellia will ask the permission of the person she wants to control before trying it, warning them that she will be in complete control and telling them how long she will make it last before breaking them out of it. Camellia is an Empathetic girl that likes to help people whenever she can, this is what sparked her interest in becoming a psychiatrist instead of following her hobby into a career as a singer.
Biography: Camellia was born with the help of Elene Exalt, who took the DNA of two veterans of the X-Com project, Ammelia Cross and the human/alien hybrid clone Buniq. Because of this, Camellia became one fourth chryssalid, but despite this, her two mothers loved her more than anything. Camellia's early life was very loving, with both her parents playing with and taking care of her everyday. She learned to walk and speak earlier than most children, quickly indicating to her parents how fast of a learner she was. Her Violet psionics developed soon after this, following the same trend she proved to quickly grasp her abilities, thanks in large part to the constant support and aid of both her mother's, despite Ammelia's nervousness about her daughter's strange proficiency in mind control and suggestion. This theme continued into her school years, easily picking up everything that was taught to her and making many friends. Unfortunately, this changed as she started middle school as word of her strange upbringing and alien DNA spread around. She was picked on and bullied much, that was, until her mother Ammelia, now CEO of Cross Technologies, bought almost 30% of the NAU government. The day after, all the kids that were picking on her either quickly tried to befriend her, or avoided her completely, fearing they would face her mother's wrath. Camellia became one of the most popular girls in school almost overnight, but never had very many people she could call 'true' friends, realizing that most of them were probably just trying to get on her good side because of her family's notorious political power. During middle and high school, Camellia discovered her love of singing, joining the choir at her school she found herself to be a talented alto singer. She followed this passion into high school and was recognized by a few colleges for her talents. She skipped two grades, 7th and 10th and graduated with many scholarship opportunities, taking one and heading to college to get a bachelors degree in psycology thanks to her mother's suggestions about how she could use her mind control and suggestion to help people. Winter took her time through college and graduated in four years, leaving her home at Cross tech behind for the time being and living on campus, wanting to know what it was like to live away from home. She threw parties and met two different boyfriends, both of whom she found out only wanted to be with her because of her family's status. During her college years, Camellia taught herself how to combine her suggestion with her singing to almost hide the effect, letting her lull her target into it much more easily. She preferred this method over issuing simple commands as it was much more calming, much less forceful, and made it harder to realize what she was doing, causing it to be more difficult to resist. Winter practiced this ability so much that she had almost perfected it by the time she left. After she left the college she worked as a therapists assistant in New York for two years, using her psionics to treat patients via hypnotherapy until she heard word that XSDF was recruiting. Camellia jumped to the opportunity, wanting to satisfy her sense of adventure and see the vast reaches of space. Her mothers understood why she wanted to be a part of it, and were happy to know that she wasn't going to be put into the field, after all, they knew what she would be getting herself into, having been a part of the war with the Ethereals twenty-five years ago.

Winter practiced this ability so much that she had almost perfected it by the time she left. After she left the college she worked as a therapists assistant in New York for two years, using her psionics to treat patients via hypnotherapy until she heard word that XSDF was recruiting. Camellia jumped to the opportunity, wanting to satisfy her sense of adventure and see the vast reaches of space. Her mothers understood why she wanted to be a part of it, and were happy to know that she wasn't going to be put into the field, after all, they knew what she would be getting herself into, having been a part of the war with the Ethereals twenty-five years ago.

Yea, Brigid is coming to the serious. Why am I not surprised.
I'm dropping out for the next several hours, so if I don't respond to something right away, you know why. My work is having this month long competition to see who can sell the most fuel system cleanings, a hundred dollar service that is really hard to sell even with a discount.
It was supposed to end on the seventh, and with us in the lead, I was set to win the amount of the first place prize equal to the percentage of the services I sold, or $187.50.
District manager informed my manager today, with less then four days left in the contest, that they decided that the competition should go for the entire length of a month, so it will now run from June 1st to June 30th, instead of May 7th to June 7th.
In... other... words... the competition has been extended another twenty... two...days...
And... 87.5% of the services we sold... and twenty-five days of hard work... no... longer... count...
He offered us a prize for working harder... then took it away when we were about to win it and told us we have to do it again...
I am... so livid. And as many of you know, I have obsessive compulsive disorder, so I have not spent the last several hours calming down... I have spent them getting angrier and angrier. He... stole from me... plain and simple.
"Oh, but because we did work so hard, he's giving us a pizza party."
...
...
...

Oh, yeah, I'm not giving you the nearly 200 bucks you worked so hard for, but here is a few slices of whatever shitty, cheap, disgusting pizza we decide to by for, 'cause lord knows we aren't buying you anything decent. Not that it matters, because even if it was great pizza, a FUCKING EIGHT DOLLAR PIZZA DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR $187, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!
...I need a few hours... possibly the rest of the night, but I'll try to respond sooner... I can't right now...

I think I said this before but, your boss is a dick.

Your boss is the worst kind of Asshole.
Does something dickish then tries to make it up with something that is pretty much nothing, then acts like it's something and that it somehow makes him a great boss.

There is no reason to put yourself through that job much longer. Please, please find a new one somehow. This boss is so awful it borders on criminal and no one deserves to go thru that.

So, what did you guys think of Camellia's bio?
Heheh...I actually have something to show you Frost. Hold on while post it. I know I said I would do no more previews but...whatevs
Say hello to Connor...I'm just saying...you have your work ahead of you Camellia.
Name: Connor Karo
Role: Infantry
Age: 33
DoB: March 7th, 2012
Sex: Male
Place of Birth: Riga, Latvia
Nationality: Latvian
Height: 6’1 ft
Weight: 177 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Hair Style : Buzzed
Eye Color: Brown
Immediate Family: Johan Karo (Father, 74); Katcha Karo (Grandmother, 101), Tracy (Daughter, 8)
Place of Residence before XSDF: Detroit, Michigan
Appearance: Connor is a very athletic man, having a gritty look to him as well a multiple small scars on his face from previous fights. He usually keeps his head in a buzz and he has a small chin beard, usually keeping the rest of his face a little fuzzy. Connor usually wears a hooded peacoat on his off hours with a pair of grey pants. If he is not wearing that, than he is usually in his sport clothes, a simple t-shirt with a pair of sport shorts.
Personality: Connor’s exact personality as he is a very hard person to pinpoint. Not only having to deal with anger issues from his waning drug use, he is also filled with regret and sadness over the loss of his fiancee, Louise. Also suffering from depression over his ruin career, reputation and the fact he is not able to see his daughter, all weighs heavily on Karo. There are times when Connor is a decent guy in his own right, but many people are so put off by his outside personality, not a lot get to know that good side.
Bio: Born in the Latvian capital of Riga, Connor grew up in a lower middle class home with his father and grandmother (Mother’s side), his mother later dying when she was captured in 2018 during the war with the aliens where she was abducted, experimented on, and later killed when Connor was six. After the war ended, Connor and his family came out of hiding and tried to rebuild what they could of their old lives. Finally, in 2026, when Connor was 14, he and his family moved out of Latvia and to the American city of Detroit in Michigan where Connor’s father worked as a factory worker.
Connor was never very popular back home in his own country, never moving past the death of his mother and not leaving much behind, friends or otherwise, which left Connor seeking attention with his father working all the time and his grandmother not being much help. When Connor started high school, he got in with the wrong crowd, quickly getting into the drug world. It finally gave Connor what he desired, something to take the troubles of the world off his shoulders and allowing him to be around people he understood.
However, this rush didn't last long as the teen quickly found himself without money and couldn’t go to his family for help so Connor dropped out of school and looked for a job to feed his addictions. He finally found it in the form of a run down gym deep in the slums, Connor working there as a janitor. Quickly befriending the gym manager, Connor found out that he was inherently good at fighting, and after a while at the gym, developed his skill to a point where he knew what he wanted to do.
It took years of training but Connor had finally seemed to turn his life around. Having found a job in the UFC as a fighter, Connor was doing good of wiping his past away. He had gone to rehab for his drug use, was becoming the next big fighter and even a fiancee that he had a little girl with. Connor’s world came crashing down around him however as after a year he had left rehab and was about to go for a title match, he had found out his fiancee, Louise, had been murdered. And Connor was the prime suspect.
The media covered his fall heavily, his drug use coming out and his violent tendencies, even though he had never abused anyone. Put on trial for the murder, it took a long while before Connor was given a not guilty verdict for lack of evidence against him and he was released, which the UFC fighter found out, was nothing.
His career ruined, his image stained, and his daughter gone, taken from him and put into foster care, left Connor with nothing, and once again, he was back into drugs. He was quickly found out and arrested again for the possession and was hauled off to mandatory rehab for about a year, afterwards being released from jail after a brief stay. Nowhere to go, and no one wanting to hire him, Connor did the one thing he could do and joined the military.
Connor quickly found himself under the close watch of the XSDF, the Latvian man wanting a chance to redeem himself and to escape the past, however futile it was. Connors biggest hope was to survive long enough to see his daughter one last time.
Special Notes:
Connor is a smoker, having to pick up the habit to help combat his drug urges.
Connor is extensively trained in hand to hand combat due to his past profession,
Connor’s trial and time as a UFC fighter makes his name infamous, almost everyone in America at least hearing of his fall from grace.
Has to be closely monitored by doctors and a therapist as to make sure he does not return to old bad habits.
