=== Personality ===
=== Biography ===
A Sergal born and raised on Earth, his family was a part of the immigration of the races of Tal to neighboring planets. With his family's arrival to Earth, they immersed themselves in the cultures, donning the surname of 'Spada' to uphold his father's veteran status.
Surrounded by his parents and the many races of Earth, he grew up among the melting pot of Humanity, Tal, and other races. The strong upbringing had a positive effect on him, making him only act out when not knowing the correct way to act.
When it came to other races, he was treated no different, only when in company of his peers that his physical attributes were noticed and ostracized. This was not much a deterrent, having his father's will and holding his head high throughout his primary education.
Upon graduation, he applied and eventually was accepted to the Protectorate Academy, wanting to literally expand his horizons.

== Equipment ==
Modified Armors: Penno has access to a full range of armors that have been redesigned with his legs in mind, making them inaccessible to any other Sergal.
* High Temperature Ceramic: After getting the ship in running order, this set was created after 3-D scanning the old armor set and printing off one modified to fit Penno.
** "Imperfect" Ceramic: First found within the confines of their ship, the set pretty much fits him except for the lower leg portions.
* Protectorate Alloy Armor: An upgraded version of the Ceramic Armor, this set was made with a light alloy and has a more protective under armor that guards against light projectiles and the elements.

The suit also has an increased air supply, as well as active electrolysis for surrounding oxygenated fluids.
** Rift Variant: An upgraded form of the Astaro Suit, its stronger plating can withstand cosmic radiation that exceeds some modern star cruisers.
* War Path Power Armor: ( 戦闘力の鎧 ) Salvaged from an old Shigu Warship, this armor originated as an experimental power armor to rival the Tech that the Protectorate had.

* Upon looking through its cargo, old pieces of armor as well as a Shigu fabricator were found.

** GhOSt Hardware: A technology that allows Chariot to not just monitor all on-board systems, but be able to take control of it in the absence of a pilot.

== Plot ==
=== Ruined Dreams Arc ===
Graduation came at a price, having watched the planet he called home crack and shatter around him. He and Alex got into their ship and managed to escape the atmosphere, just barely making it past the blast radius of the remnants of Earth.
Lost and floating through space with limited supplies, they manage to find a habitable planet, pulling into orbit in order to find food among the sparce areas of oasis vegetation. He stumbles upon a lush valley, able to spot the top of a Gate. This leads Alex and him to The Outpost, meeting up with Esther in front of The Ark.
After finding out the truth about the destruction of Earth, it is learned that others have made their way to Esther, receiving their own missions in regards to rebuilding what remains of the Protectorate. Wasting no time, she gives Penno and Alex their own roles in this plot. With their statuses remaining "MIA", they are to find and flush out groups that have risen in recent times from the chaos. They are sent to Pete for basic ship repairs and told to start amassing their own crew to aid in the future.
==== Reclusive Moon Mini Arc ====
While their ship is getting repaired, they are sent with a loaner vessel to the moon of the planet. Upon arrival, they find a derelict Apex mining facility, barely functioning on solar power from the nearby sun. They gain entry to the eerily abandoned compound, scouting for anything usable tech-wise, or for repairing the ship. Going down further in, they happen upon a row of cryo-tubes, all broken except for one that was still functioning, and still had an occupant.
They took their time to unfreeze him, seeing his vitals still maintained as the power was supplied by solar energy from the nearby sun. He slowly came to, confused to the two above him looking with worry. They came to find out he was an engineer for the Apex that had been stationed there for both mining and research and development. Unfortunately, before they could talk more, the security system of the base had flared to life, the cryo-pod not using most of the electricity as the droids came to life. The way out had become a fight to survive as the three made their way out, disabling the system and locking down the facility. With the remnants of his old life left behind, Quinn accompanied them to The Ark.
While their ship was repaired, Quinn had spoken with Esther, having found the files of what had happened to his old crew. He reconciled himself, asking Penno and Alex if he could come with them as the ship's engineer. Now having a ship and their first crew mate, they began their first mission together.
