Sierra (S.A.V.I.A.)

Sierra - Promo Render 1Sierra is featured prominently at the end of the first episode of Dark Rift and her story is an important part of the plot, so I am not going to reveal too much about her character. But what I can say is that she is a very advanced form of android dubbed a S.A.V.I.A., which is an acronym that means ‘synthetic anatomical virtual intelligence android‘.

Although androids existed for centuries and had been used for all manner of tasks, IO-Gentech, Inc. (the company that created the S.A.V.I.A.) created something truly unique with the S.A.V.I.A units.  For decades, IO-Gentech had been known throughout the galaxy for being on the forefront of genetic research and development. They were the leading developer of biometric replacement prosthetics and enhancements, as well as the undisputed champion in the field of genetic imprinting. Indeed, the company dominated the industry in these areas, and by no small margin. Continue reading “Sierra (S.A.V.I.A.)”

Commander Samuel Talbish

Commander Samuel Talbish - Promo Render 1Talbish was Kole’s old commanding officer when he served in the United Planetary Alliance (U.P.A.). The two served together through some intense battles, both outer space and planetary, against the Volochians. They became good friends, and their bond grew even tighter after they both defected from the U.P.A. (for reasons that will eventually be revealed). If Kole had a best friend in the whole galaxy, it would be Talbish… despite not having seen him for several years.

Talbish works out of a remote facility on some frozen moon as a contraband dealer. He has several human, alien, and robot employees, one of them his own daughter Polly Talbish. He has a military-grade prosthetic arm and hand; an antiquated replacement limb bestowed on him after his first tour of duty when he was still very young and green. There have been remarkable advancements in the medical field of prosthetics since his injury decades ago that would Continue reading “Commander Samuel Talbish”

Polly “Pix” Talbish

Here’s a render of Polly “Pix” Talbish and her pet alien “Jester”. Polly will appear in the first episode of Dark Rift as Commander Samuel Talbish’s daughter. I spoke briefly about Talbish in my introduction to the Dark Rift series post, but in case you missed it, he is Kole’s old war buddy/commanding officer back when they both served in the United Planetary Alliance (U.P.A.). Now, Talbish is a contraband dealer, and his daughter works with him. Without going into the exposition that will be revealed in the first episode, I’ll just say that she is devoted to her father’s protection and vice versa. Polly got the nickname “Pixie” from her mother when she was a very young girl due to an impish nature and tendency to stir up mischief. Over the years, her parents just shortened it to “Pix”. She is a talented mechanic (in case it’s not obvious from the outfit and engine grease) and a fierce young woman. You’ll get to witness her fiery attitude in action in the first episode of Dark Rift as well as learn her backstory (and Jester’s, too).

Stay tuned for introductions to Commander Samuel Talbish and Fyra Leighton (finished and reworked), coming soon.
