History: Memory Beta link Powers/skills: Malcolm is a human without any special powers, though he is a member of the Terran Empire's version of the space marines, which means that he's a fighter and can hold his own in a fight, whether it be hand to hand or otherwise. He's also a skilled tactician, obvious by the fact that he's the tactical officer for both of the Empire's most recent flagships even after he was thought of as a threat. Also he has some training in weapons engineering, having invented the agony booth with help from the Enterprise's doctor, Phlox.
In game, Malcolm will be gaining a set of powers known collectively as superparkour. The group of powers under this are enhanced agility, enhanced dexterity, and increased jumping ability that when used together allows him to perform incredible acrobatic feats and scale buildings that would seem impossible without equipment. He cannot access any sort of bullet time, if anyone was wondering. His superparkour is more of an extension of his natural physical skills since as a fighter, he’s more quick and nimble, using his opponent’s weight and strength against them, instead of big and burly fighter sort.
City Name: Vincent Stark Position: Mercenary History: Vincent is the eldest son and second child of three, having an older sister named Vivian and a younger twin brother by the name of Gavin. Raised in the Central city, he was unlike the rest of his family in that he didn’t fit in well with the tightly structured militaristic culture and because of it was very stubborn and rebellious. It didn’t help that Vincent was incredibly bright to the point where he’d be bored in class and get himself in trouble since it was more interesting than things he already knew. His rebellious streak and desire to find something to interest him led him to the rougher parts of the city and he joined a gang, learning more about fighting and weapons than any bored teenager should really know.
As he grew older and caused more trouble around the city, Vincent decided that there was nothing left for him there, as most of his family wanted nothing to do with him, and left to find himself a better base of operations than the center. After a year or so, he would eventually settle in the Diamond City and become a mercenary, doing odd jobs around town, mostly doing whatever work he could find. At first, he was in competition with other mercenaries, but he was good at what he did and started to make a name for himself after a few years. Once he really settled in and felt that the City was a place he could stay permanently, he ran into a familiar face. His twin brother Gavin had moved to the City as well and become a police officer and it was because of their jobs that the two met briefly. There wasn’t any time to meet again because then the Disaster struck.

Playing First-person sample: So I’ve heard things about this whole situation from the Workers and it’s all very interesting. A name I’ve never heard, a past I don’t remember, and a family that’s not quite right. From what I’ve been told, I have a twin brother. What does one say to a twin you’ve never known? Though, I’m not even sure if he’s among the Sleepers, let alone the few of us who have been awakened so far. Perhaps if he’s not awake, I can work on what to say. And if he is, I’ll do my best not to screw up our first meeting. I’m sure it will be interesting either way, of course. This place does seem to thrive on interesting. Third-person sample: “Well now, I can’t say I expected this.”
Malcolm stood in the bathroom of the quarters he was dragged to after awakening, looking into the mirror on the wall and staring at his reflection. The scars that he had become accustomed to seeing on himself were gone, replaced by smooth and undamaged skin. It was like he had never been burned and Malcolm scowled at his reflection. Of course he wouldn’t have those injuries if he was Vincent Stark, though the information on his supposed “real” self was definitely lack. Perhaps the physical changes were to offset that. Did the person in charge have his scars removed to perpetuate the lie? At this point, it was definitely a possibility, especially with what Malcolm believed was the truth about the situation.
“So everything’s a lie, then. No Terran Empire, no Captain Archer,” he murmured softly as he continued to check his face in the mirror, his scowl changing into a rather frightening grin. “I don’t believe that for a second. I’ll find out the truth about this. Though I wouldn’t mind the lack of our dear and beloved Empress.”
With one last glance towards the mirror, Malcolm left the bathroom and went over to where he had left the ID card they had given him. An idea came to mind and he smiled. If that twin of his was as identical as he was told, then he could have some fun with the other man. After all, it would do no good if he was caught breaking the rules and this place was kind enough to give him the perfect scapegoat. The only question was if dear Gavin was among the Sleepers. If he was, then everything would proceed as he wanted. If not, well, there were always people he could manipulate to find out the truth of everything in his stead without him getting caught for it.
