Daryen character generation

After having reconciled himself to seeing his dreams die, Hank was disappointed and despondent at being relegated to a life of being a wage slave like his parents before him. However, after a couple months he reconciled with his fate and chose to dive into his corporate life. Over that first year he found acceptance of his situation. During that time he met a fellow co-worker with whom he found a connection. They hit it off and soon began a serious relationship. Despite himself and his lost dreams, he had found contentment and no longer feared being corporate drone for his career.

During this time he did keep in contact with Dr. Stone and followed her career and research. Because of this, and because of his own research, he gained a surprising base of knowledge on what was and is know about the Elder. But this was just a hobby and he understood that and kept things with proper priority, focusing on his paying job and his relationships. As time progressed, he was able to get a promotion and increase his responsibilities. While he certainly was not moving into management, he still was gaining status and responsibilities.

With that increase in responsibility was an increase in access to more proprietary information within the corporation. With his computer and investigative skills he found out about illegal activities going on within the company. He also learned that his girlfriend was involved with the activities. He confronted her with what he found, and she insisted that he join them with the activity and help them more effectively cover it up. He told her he had to think about it. But really, he was unwilling to compromise himself that badly.

He took the opportunity given by his waffling to contact the authorities. He offered to help them investigate the impropriety, but they dismissed his offer and shunted him to the side while they investigated the situation. Realizing he now had no job, he immediately gathered his important belongings (while his girlfriend was still at work) and completely moved out of the only real city he had ever known. He moved the the startown instead.

When he got to the startown he immediately started looking for a new job while simultaneously providing his old job his zero hour notice of resignation. He got very fortunate and found work at a merchant trading company that valued his analyst and computer skills and appreciated that he had some familiarity with brokerage. So now he is working in a new company, in a new city, all while hoping no one comes looking for him.

Hank signs on. He thought he had protected himself through his contact with the authorities, but that apparently wasn't sufficient. As a result, there is nothing left for him here. He applies for the crewman position, though he has no idea how he can be useful to them. Still, he gives it his best shot.

Assuming he gets the position, he packs up his meager possessions and boards the ship. Just before he leaves, he sends a copy of the recording he secretly made of his confrontation with his now former girlfriend to one of the investigators that visited him. He also sends a message to Dr. Stone thanking her for her long friendship and that he hopes he will meet her again in the future.
