APPEARANCE
Hair Color:	Brown
Eye Color:	Brown
Height:	1.99 m
Weight:	81.00 kg
Description:
Stone is not quite two meters tall, with short-cropped brown hair and brown eyes. His face is rather thin, as is the rest of him, and he always seems to be on the verge of an emotional outburst. (It's okay, he does that.) He wears a body-pressure-type vacuum suit with Aquila-form foot-gloves (very expensive) and whatever tools he needs with him at the time. When permitted, he also carries a light sidearm loaded with some sort of non-lethal ammo.
BACKGROUND
Milligan Stone is a fourth-generation Aquilae alternate from the 61 Cygni system. He attended the Sirius Space Studies Institute, where he studied planetary engineering, aka terraforming. His career ended abruptly with the New Cydonia Massacre (see "The Millstone") ever since which, the Planetary Conservation Society has been out to get him. He finds it best these days to keep a low profile and stay on the move, and makes his living as the Chief Engineering Officer on the independent transport vessel 'Balance Forward'. His ship's most frequent port of call is Mandalla Free Station in the Groombridge 34 system, where he might be found hanging out at The Blind Spot. (But only by those who can find the place to begin with!)
PERSONALITY
Stone spent most of his career trying to bring life to new worlds. Nowadays, the life he's most concerned with is his own. And of course, keeping his ship and everyone on board in one piece. When dealing with a crisis, he's not necessarily calm, but he stays focused, and makes hard decisions without flinching. All the yelling, swearing and theatrics are just his way of dealing with stress. Afterwards, others might not like what he did, but they usually admit he was right, if they're still around to talk about it. Most of the time, they are. Stone avoids unnecessary loss of life if there's any way to prevent it--he's trying to undo the damage to his reputation from the New Cydonia incident.
QUOTE
"I've terraformed new worlds which will provide homes for millions of people, centuries from now. But what am I famous for? A hundred idiots who died for nothing, a year ago!"
POWERS/TACTICS
Stone is physically rather weak, due to living in micro-gravity most of the time, but he's easily underestimated, being an expert in zero-g combat. (In zero-g, he can fight with all four limbs.) Like most Aquilae, Stone is short-term viable in vacuum conditions, and completely adapted to zero-g. Aboard ship he's completely in his element, and as chief engineer of the 'Balance Forward', he knows the ship's systems and gets more out of them than anyone would believe possible. His augmented reality implants are "off the shelf" models, but he can use them better than most.
CAMPAIGN_USE
Milligan Stone introduces several campaign concepts important to Terracide--he's an Aquila, a terraformer, and on the run from the PCS. The player characters will most likely meet him in port at Groombridge, possibly in The Blind Spot, with the rest of the crew of 'Balance Forward'.
