Aurora Squad

Aurora Squad is a mercenary group formed from ex-soldiers from the Outland Confederation. Following their discharge from its military due to lack of discipline, mental quirks, and the abandonment of their base, the squad turned to paid mercenary and bounty hunting, traveling the galaxy in an ex-Calatian Treasure Organization schooner, the Arcane Ember.
== Members ==
=== Asenath ===
A female Draconid, Asenath serves as the commander of Aurora Squad and captain of the Arcane Ember. While intelligent, Asenath has also proven to be unnecessarily paranoid at times and aggressive in her tactics.
=== Aurae ===
Aurae, a red-skinned, female-hermaphrodite Calatian, serves as Asenath's second-in-command and corporal. Specializing in demolitions and explosives, her expertise coupled with her loud and insane mental state has been cause for alarm to both those around her and up the chain of command.
=== Ryllae ===
Aurae's younger sibling, Ryllae, is a red-skinned, non-binary hermaphrodite Calatian spy. While a lot quieter and considered more "sane" than their sister, Aurae suffers from a split personality disorder which, when paired with their above-average shapeshifting abilities, leads to Aurae changing appearance as they interact with themself. Despite this, they have a knack for making it look like they belong where they shouldn't be.
=== Rhangyl ===
A blue-accented, male-hermaphrodite Aludran, Rhangyl's expertise serves the squad as their engineer and technician. From hacking doors, repairing robotics, to maintaining the Arcane Ember. However while Rhangyl is forced to translate for both his lover Zelphar and Xyris, he is uncomfortable with speaking to more than a single person at a time and a major introvert.
=== Zelphar ===
Serving as the team's sharpshooter is Zelphar: a red-accented, male-hermaphrodite Aludran. While considered and excellent shot and charismatic individual, Zelphar is both deaf and mute. However while he can read lips, he is forced to rely on his introvert boyfriend, Rhangyl, to translate his sign language.
=== Toross ===
A blue-skinned Arkabid male, Toross specializes as the team's tank and muscle. Wielding a repeating cannon and heavy armor over his centauroid frame. However much to Asenath's displeasure, he shows himself to be aggressive and cocky even by her standards.
=== Halemano ===
Halemano is a Terrachon Chondrichite male and the newest member of the squad, joining shortly before discharge. As such, acts as an infantryman for the specialized group. However he is not aided by his oblivious personality and tendency to lose his train of thought.
=== Suriel ===
As the team's combat medic, Suriel is a female Nephilim. While on the surface, she may appear as an overly smug healer with an ego, she is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and knife-throwing, as long as her overconfidence doesn't get in the way.
=== Mrenzuz ===
A 3-headed Hydrid, Mrenzuz works closely with Ryllae as a scout, specializing in speed attacks and close quarters combat. However is by far not the brightest light on the ship and is overly gullible and literal.
=== Xyris ===
Serving outside of combat, Xyris is a gold-haired Ascellan. Primarily serving as the squad's cook and housekeeping. A job they strive to perfect to the point of trying too hard.
=== Raina ===
Serving as the Aurora Squad's "secret weapon" is Raina: a Calatian-based Siren. A deserter from her own tribe, Raina strives to leave her savage life behind, but is hindered by the fact she still instills fear in even her own squadmates. As such, she mostly tends to the ship along with Xyris and is helps out more with dangerous missions and interrogation.
=== DCU-327 ===
DCU-327, also known as "Crow" is an ex-Crawraek Dynasty DCU robot that was trash-picked and repaired by Rhangyl. While the government required his metryl armor removed and replaced with regular steel, Crow's personality systems have been modified to the point of making him sarcastic, deadpan, and quick to blurt out opinions.
