Born on Earth, Jack <omitted> was possibly a soldier and definitely spent a lot of time sleeved in a reaper morph, to the point of being extremely used to the sleeving process in one (Right At Home). He then probably died fighting the TITANs as his backup was transmitted straight to Phelan's Recourse, as part of some contract he apparently had with Firewall, who stuck him in a morph, and told him he'd been working for them for the best part of two years. The details of this too, were lost in the time between his backup and his death. It also appears that something went wrong during the farcasting of his backup, or perhaps the TITANs were jamming the transmission, as there are great gaps in his memory and personality which manifest as schizophrenic symptoms resulting in delusions, hallucinations and other attempts by his ego to fill the void. As a result, he now believes himself to be a fictional character, subject entirely to the whims of the author. Nonetheless, he is still fortunate to retain his combat skills.

A gatecrasher, who came back from an expedition "changed" - now an async, whose mind has been rewired to facilitate an eerie understanding of mathematics and linguistics, he began also working for Firewall as an expert in xenolinguistics and xenobiology. Based on the Xenoarcheologist premade, but less of an adventurer, and more of a scientist.

Doctor Mathew Esterly had always been fascinated by the stars, and the possibilities they held. As a young scientist, he joined the original space colonists, and traveled outward from Earth as humanity pushed the edge of its outposts further and further away from their home world. When the Fall came, Mathew was far far away - and while the near-extinction of humanity still touched his life, it was the subsequent discovery of the Pandora Gates and the arrival of the Factors that changed it, most noticeably.

The discovery of wormhole gateways, and the arrival of true intelligent alien life renewed his belief that there must be more in the universe than humanity. He didn't return to the outer-rim space colonies, and instead joined a number of Gatecrashing crews - excited to see places in the universe he would never reach, otherwise, and new forms of life. However, after a gate-jump anomaly, Dr. Esterly was changed, forever. At first, he didn't realize what had happened. He felt strange, like there was a presence with him, even when he was alone and, throughout the mission, he was exhausted, but his mind was racing. He didn't sleep often or well, and spent most of his free time scribbling down notes and equations, that only seemed to make sense to him, as though he thought they might slip from his mind as mysteriously as they had entered it. His behavior alerted the rest of his crew, who kept him under observation but didn't think he was dangerous - on the contrary, despite a few fits where he was nearly incomprehensible, his insights and analysis of the strange world seemed sharper than ever. Upon returning through the Gate, they insisted he undergo a psychosurgical examination. This was when he discovered he had been somehow infected by the Watts-MacLeod strain of the Exsurgent Virus.

Whether the virus had lied dormant in him and had been triggered by the anomaly, or whether the anomaly was actually the infection-vector is still unknown. However, his mind underwent a rapid change that altered the way he observed and understood the world around him. The mathematical and linguistic centers of his brain underwent the greatest refactoring, and he developed a low level of telepathy which was consistent with psi-gamma expressions - although he showed a remarkable ability to interact with and communicate with non-sentient minds. He continued to Gatecrash, finding that the Gatekeeper Corporation was suddenly a lot more interested in his findings and new discoveries. Although he built up some relationship with the Gatekeeper Corporation (to facilitate his research), he preferred to operate out of the Fissure Gate whenever possible, so that he would be free to publish his findings and make them available to the scientific community at large. As his understanding of ancient alien structures and languages grew, so did his prominence in the newly created fields of xenolinguistics and xenobiology.

Not long after becoming a recognized expert in these fields, as well as publishing some remarkable new theories in mathematics, Dr. Esterly came to the attention of Firewall, and was recruited when an alien device had been discovered which was releasing small bursts of low-level radiation in sequences which they suspected were not entirely random. They were not random, and Dr. Esterly was critical in assisting a team with identifying the function of the device as well as getting a rudimentary understanding of the meaning encoded in the message it seemed to be broadcasting. Since then, Firewall has found him useful on a number of other assignments, even where there is no evidence of extra-terrestrial involvement. He is a skilled scientist, and lends an unusual perspective to any situation - an eerie creativity that has been useful when a problem needed to be faced with fresh eyes. However, useful though he may be, Firewall requires his services infrequently enough that Doctor Esterly possesses a considerable amount of free-time, which he spends in research, or continually exploring the farthest reaches of this universe on the other side of the Pandora Gates.

History: Born on the "Fresh Kills" Scum Barge, his mother died in delivery and his father was largely absent due to "work" so it is unsurprising that Jackson "Slick" Murphy found his way into the gang life before he was even a teenager. Quick witted and with a certain knack for running raids on other gangs Jackson was able to eventually find his way onto a boat headed for one of the Jovian Junta's military bases, with training via virtuality along the way. A gifted soldier and SecOps specialist he could have gone far, but he was decidedly uncomfortable under the bioconservatives' regime and made off for the autonomist habitats and the Quanxi with a bit of milspec tech to buy his way. Now he operates at a rather high profit margin as a red market security specialist and merc, including a fair amount of work for Firewall as a provisional sentinel.

Personality: Relaxed, friendly, and utterly lethal, Jackson Murphy is a man who likes to enjoy life because he is all too well aware of the possibility of death in ways that do not allow for resleeving (discounting arguments about the nature of the soul of course), the most disconcerting thing about him is his love of a challenging fight, especially considering his penchant for starting them at times. Still, on a job he is utterly professional and completely ruthless in executing his duties, only letting his somewhat dry sense of humor show in the field very rarely.

Appearance: His current sleeve is a male one, standing just slightly over 6 feet tall, fine boned and handsome with a sleekly muscular build, green eyes and dark hair that makes for a decently attractive package without standing out much at all in most crowds, his armor clothes are khaki pants and t-shirts or dress pants and shirts, depending on if he is going for a soldier's bdu or a more classic "mob soldier" for a look.

A scumborn technical whiz who has tried with all of his might to amount to nothing. He deeply desires to live a bohemian and romantic lifestyle in the way of the great poets and artists of the former earth, but finds himself gifted with an alarming technical aptitude that feels somewhat unnerving. An artist so devoted to futility that he's unwilling to save humanity except under threat of extortion (fortunately for humanity, he caves easily).

Jonah never wanted to be good at anything except maybe poetry. Unfortunately, he's never been gifted with words. As a child he was intensely sucessful in his goal as he was raised in an environmentally ravaged Appalachian slum -- the ever expanding outskirts and sewers of Memphis. He scraped by getting a passable education and gradually growing to hate his surroundings -- an abrasive attitude did nothing to help him fit in.

It was little surprise then that he gleefully signed up for indentured servitude in Martian terraforming. Unbeknownst to him at the time, the fall was looming. Just as his term of service started, the fall ended it rapidly. The Martian habitat he was helping to terraform tore itself apart as devastating infowar viruses tore through the life support and population. Jonah is certain he was exposed to some of these viruses, but made no mention as he escaped in a spaceship which eventually joined a scum barge.

Since the fall he's happily lived as a nomad and failing artist hoping his unfulfilled martian responsibilities won't catch up with him. More worrying is the fear that the infowar viruses may catch his ego -- since his escape from the station he's found that he has an incredible knack for mathematics and construction. He feels compelled to build and repair things and does so with a natural ease he knows he shouldn't have. More mysterious still are the occasional bouts of intense concentration and almost prehuman understanding that don't seem native to his skull. His solution has been self-medication with orbital hash (which does suppress his mental faculties admirably) and diligently attempting not to focus on anything that he's good at leading to a almost phobic inability to concentrate.

In spite of these precautions, a subset Phelan's recourse has figured out that Jonah is an extremely competent technologist and he routinely trades his skills for a continued living. Firewall, too, has gotten wind of his talents and through threats of exposing his indentured servitude, his viral exposure or worse his technical aptitude they have cajoled him into being a sentinel.
