Shen Brena, P.C.S.I Security Team.

Name: Shen Brena

Rank: Planet Cracker Starship Isimura, Security Team.

Serial Number: PCSI-0340/SB

Age: 23 years

Species: Human

Height: 5'8 feet.

Weight: Less than an average worker and his mining RIG, capesh?

Appearance: Thanks to the relatively lax uniform regulations within the security team, Shen can easily be recognised by her pale skin, deep blue lips and rather unique hairstyle consisting of an almost entirely shaved head.

With what little cyan hair remaining placed into a band and short ponytail on the rear of her head with a length extending past her ears and dangling down below her shoulders, and a small patch towards the front of her head with a similar length.

As for her uniform, it merely consists of the short grey tank top upon which her RIG is integrated, the RIG gauntlet covering her left arm and her light brown trousers held up by her equipment belt, upon which hung the holster for her standard issue .45 sidearm. Along with this, came a small clip for the plasma chainsaw which she aquired along with the cutting tool, allowing her to just place it on her belt when she had no use of it.

Personality: Unlike some of her more hardened collegues in the Security Team, Shen isn't used to the sight of horrific wounds or teammates dieing in battle.

Her service has merely been spent breaking up brawls or the occasional bout of guard duty, not charging into battlefields and slaughtering enemy forces.

Although that experiance may have been the bread and butter for most security teams aboard Planet Crackers, it wasn't nearly enough for what she would face aboard the Ishimura after it came into orbit above Aegis 7.

Background: With little more than a years experiance with the P.C.S.I Security Team, Shen may not exactly be a rookie, but she certainly can not be classified as a veteran.

In the line of regular duty, this wouldn't matter too much as, once the first few months in the Security Team have passed and the usual routine has been established, there is little to worry about for new members.
That was true for the majority of the Isimuras service, yet a week after they arrived at the planet Aegis 7 to perform a routine Planet Crack, problems began to emerge. At first it was restricted to the colony upon the planet, increasing cases of suicides and homicide taking place, all corralating with the loading of an artifact onto the Ishimura a week before.

This changed though after the Planet Crack began, over a trillion tons of rock torn free from Aegis 7 and connected to the Ishimura via gravity tethers. Connection with the colony was lost, by the time it was regained, the colony's life signs had flatlined.
A ban upon transport both too and from the colony was emplaced, yet a single shuttle slipped through the closing bay doors and crash landed, necessating Shen's Security Team to investigate. Inside the gore-filled shuttle, there was no pilot to be found, only a single hole in the hull and a trail of blood leading further into the Ishimura.
The Security Team went after the trail, steadily working their way upto the morgue where the recent homicide victims were kept. What they found was not the neatly arranged bodies being prepared for cyro-storage, but instead a horde of horrifying creatures tearing at the bodies, devouring them messily with jagged teeth and slicing at them with claws protruding from their shoulders.

The only answer to this repulsive display of cannibalism was not the calm, rational discussion which was usually required in their line or work. It was a hail of bullets from their .45mm sidearms, blazing away at the mass of living death and fight for their lives against the ensueing wave of twisted flesh running at them, bent upon tearing them apart as they had the corpses. It would have ended there for the Security Team, within a minute two of their number had already been leapt upon and murdered by the once human savages. They would have died an agonising death had it not been for the arrival of a worker from engineering who, after arming himself with a plasma chainsaw, had discovered it's efficiency against the twisted corpses which absorbed bullets like a sponge.

Once the P.C.S.I Security Team had armed themselves with the saws from an engineering locker which the worker directed them too, they then set off upon a trek towards the Ishimura's bridge, aiming to inform the Captain of the vessel about the creatures they had faced. Their trip was not an easy one as they outran even more of the creatures, which were spreading at an amazingly fast rate throughout the ship, far faster than they themselves could cover.

It happened when they took a lift up to the Hydroponics section, from there they would make their way into the maintenance shafts and head for the bridge. It was just an instant for Shen, a moment within which time stretched and her vision darkened to nothing, her mind seeming to split in two and... It was over seemingly before it had even started. Yet it was never over, Shen's journey ended inside the Hydroponics section, her body bisected vertically by a plasma chainsaw as she died, screaming her last while blood flowed from her mouth and tears down her cheeks.

But that death wasn't the end, instead she merely awoke what seemed to be hours later, her body intact but... It was never the same, sometimes she awoke inside her cabin during the outbreak of creatures, forced to fight off a seemingly endless wave until they broke through her meagre defenses and overwealmed her. Sometimes she saw herself die again, the plasma chainsaw stabbing into her gut and slicing upwards as she screamed and screamed and screamed. The only thing that was sure inside all these dreams, nightmares or whatever they were, was that eventually she would meet her end.

RP Notes

For those curious, Shen is a minor character from the film Dead Space: Downfall, and so probably my first fan-character profile.

For Shen, the park isn't a place of life, nor is it somewhere she could call home. All she knows the park as is a place which occasional appears in her series of agonising nightmares.

She is not bound to any particular setting or time, nearly anything can happen with her in what seems to be a string of nightmarish dreams, one thing is for sure though, she will not go down without a vicious fight.
