TEAM LEADER JORDAN STERN
**********************************************************************

Player: Alton Reich
Name: Jordan Stern
Age: 29
Height: 5'-9"
Weight: 150 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black
POB: Worcester, MA

Rank: SA-4
Current Assignment: Team Leader - Team Zeta

Skills: BS in Mechanical Engineering
Programs in several computer languages.
Trained in small arms marksmanship by the USAF.

Weapon of choice: SIG-Sauer P225 - 9 mm. The P225 is a light weight semi-automatic pistol that takes an 8 round magazine. On occation he will use the P225's big brother, the P226 with a 15 round magazine.

Background:
1968: Born in Worcester, MA. His parents lived in Spencer, about 15 minutes outside the city, at the time.
1972: Younger sister, Sarah, born.
1974: Moved to Indianapolis, IN when his father took a job as a research chemist with Eli Lilly.
1986 - 1990: Attended Case-Western Reserve University on an AF ROTC scholarship. He majored in mechanical engineering with a particular interest in electro-mechanical systems (motors, servos, and such). 1990-1993: Stationed at Olmstead Air Force Base working as an intelligence analyst.
1993-1995: Stationed at Edwards AFB in a AF Intelligence unit. He spent most of his time trying to reverse engineer systems and components based on plans smuggled out of foreign countries and information provided on former foreign nationals. It was there he became convinced of the existance of extra-terrestrials (see below).
1995-1997: FBI field agent attached to the Boston branch. Recently transfered to the X-Files division based in Washington. The transfer was motivated by his personal desire to seek the truth about human encounters with extra-terrestrial intelligance and technology.

Extra-Terrestrials:
One particularly challenging assignment at Edwards involved the deciphering of a linear servo control system. The sophistication of the supposedly Russian technology surprised Jordan, since he believed the US to be the world leader in linear servo design.

Several months later he was tasked with going through classified files from the 1950's to determine which should be declassified, destroyed, or maintained. As he went throught them he came upon a report on the same servo system he had analyzed. What he found advanced, had baffled the engineers of the 1950's. He also found several other studies on technologies that were highly advanced for the 1950's, but are relatively common today. Jordan Stern believes that the government has had some contact with extra-terrestrial life forms, perhaps in 1947 at Roswell, and their technology has been the inspiration for many technological advances in the US.

The Brief Alton Reich Bio:
I'm an engineer at Proto-Power Corp. in Connecticut, an engineering consulting company. I have a BS in Nuclear Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Rensaleer Polytechnic Institute.

At home I have one wife, two children, a dog, two cats, and a snake. I have been playing interactive RPGs since January 1996, and currently play 6 characters.

My take on extra-terrestrial life: The universe is a REALLY big place. There's life out there. There's probably intelligent life out there. The problem I have with the idea of aliens visiting Earth is one of practicality. Dr. Bryce Cassenti of the UTC Research Center has proposed sending an unmanned space craft to Alpha Centauri, about 4 light-years away. According to his estimates, the one-way trip would take about 40 years. IF Einstein is right, and so far he's been right, interstellar travel takes too long to be practical. Einstein might not be right, though, and faster than light travel might not only be possible, but it might be practical. After all, Newton was right for a couple of hundred years before people began understand that in his theories had limitations.

Ambition :
To be recognised for her efforts and capabilities despite racial and sexual prejudice

Marital status: Single

Beliefs :
Believes in alot of things (regardless of its supernatural or unexplained circumstances) so long as enough logical reasoning is given. Does not believe in certain far-fetched suggestions such as rumours that the heads of X is aliens though.

Background :
The youngest of 3 daughters, Vanessa was a born rebel. While both of her sisters were obedient children who stayed at their parents side since young, Vanessa had this tendency to want to strike out on her own since young. Her father had wanted her to study something 'safe' and then marry a 'nice, young man' and to help out in the family business. Instead, she went abroad to take her degree and when she returned, move to Maryland and join the FBI, a move that, her conservative father predicted, will cause her death after 'abandoning the family and serving fruitlessly in a government agency'

Hobbies :
During her free time, she likes to draw, and is actually good at it. She also loves doing jigsaw puzzles. She had also studied karate last time, and jogs regularly to keep fit. Occasionally, she would play sports. An introduction by a friend had her hooked on shooting. Although she does not practise often, she is a good shooter. One thing to note is that Vanessa got this funny habit of buying photo frames that she like, and then display them around her rented apartment in Maryland without putting any photos inside.

Personality :
Casual aquaintances would labelled her as 'cool and aloof' while close friends knew her as a witty and friendly preson who tries her best to help people whenever possible. She is also known to be a somewhat stubborm sometimes when people fight against her beliefs despite reasoning. She is professional and cool-headed during work and if the need arises, can be deadly serious. As her relation with her family is not really good, she seldom mentioned them. Even though she looked younger than her 22 years of age, she is more mature than people of her own age, a surprise for many people who expected her to be as immature as her youngish looks suggested.

He takes great pride in his physical abilities and has a great deal of arrogance where these are concerned. He believes, with some justification, that he can handle almost anything. He lives for his work.

The main reason he wishes to join the X-Files division seems to be the disappearance of his parents. Due to the circumstances, which were baffling, Jim wishes to find an explanation for what happened. This is the real reason for his dedication to the X-Files division.

Short biography
Jim's parents died in very mysterious circumstances when he was a child. He lived with his brother Tom in Alaska, with their Aunt and Uncle. Jim studied Computer Science and Psychology at MIT to provide himself with an insight into computer system, especially security, and the criminal mind. He and his brother both joined the Marine Corp to follow in their father's footsteps. Jim, however, was never fully committed to the army and decided to put his talents to better use by joining the FBI X-Files division. While in the army, Jim served in many parts of the world, including Granada where he received a stab wound from a bayonet.

Marital Status: Involved.

Hobbies: Zenya is rarely seen without a book in her hands. She will read just about anything, from astrophysics texts to New Age self-help books to sci-fi novels.

Quirks: When she is tired or upset, she struggles with the English language. In extreme cases, she will lapse into Russian. In spite of the fact that she has lived all of her life in the United States,she has a faint accent.

Religion/Beliefs: She was raised in the Russian Orthodox church, but left it. She has studied many religions and belief systems, and subscribes to none in particular.

Background: Zenya was born in Washington DC while her father was serving at the Soviet Embassy. Shortly thereafter, the family defected. She had a fairly happy childhood, although it could not be called normal. Despite her parents� defection, they strongly disapproved of American society.
The three children were schooled at home and permitted to socialize only with the children of other Russian immigrants. They were taught English, but not encouraged to use it. Their exposure to American culture was extremely limited.
When Zenya was seventeen, her entire family was killed in a car bombing. Zenya witnessed the blast, and was severely injured (the scar on her neck). She has always believed that some government agency was responsible for the murders - she just doesn�t know which government.
With her parents� constraints on her suddenly lifted, Zenya was thrust into a society she was completely unprepared to deal with.

Personality: In some ways, Zenya is still suffering from culture shock and from the shock of her family�s deaths. She is very quiet and very intense. She does not form many close relationships, but when she does, she is entirely committed to them. She does not speak about herself or her background, even with her closest friends.

Education: Degrees in psychology and linguistics.

Career: Zenya had never considered any career other than in academics until she was recruited by the FBI. She quickly found her niche as a profiler.

Background
----------
Not much is known about Leo Jones, although it has been rumored that he has spent a lot of time in Black Ops, running covert operations for the military. Out of the blue, he was released from his military unit and he decided to join the FBI. Extremely focused, he will not rest until he gets to the heart of any matter. Due to his military training, he will not sacrifice any of his fellow agents or will not leave any fallen comrades behind.

When joining up with the FBI, he was initially met with distrust and has had to prove himself, time and again. When asked about the reasons why he was dismissed (or why he quit), all he will answer is that he "was tired of the whole game and just wants to help people". As much as he wants to divulge certain information of his past, he has been sworn to secrecy and will not break that oath for fear of "extreme measures" taken against those he tells. Due to this fear, he has been labelled as secretive, possibly a spy for the military, distant, cold. In his own words, as told during his psychological exam at Quantico, "All he wants to do is fit in somewhere, to be accepted for who he is, not what he can do."

Played wide receiver for USD(Western State doesn't have a football team) in college. A busted Achilles' tendon kept him out of play most of his senior year. Before his injury, he was one of the top-10 candidates for the Heissman Trophy. Missed the NFL draft due to reconstructive knee-surgery.

Quirks:
Technosexual, meaning he always buys the newest and most advanced home electronics available. Would never settle for 'just a CD-player'. Much of his money is spent on electronic gadgets.

Favorite teams:
Being born and raise in San Diego, Martin is of course a huge Chargers fan. Favorite hockey team is the LA Kings.

Background:
Martin's parents used to own a small sporting goods shop in downtown San Diego. He and his brother worked there all through the summers and sometimes also on evenings and weekends.
Martin graduated from high school with a 3.9 GPA and went on to pre-law at the University of San Diego, after a year of traveling around the US, following the steps of Jack Kerouac. He received his Master's degree from Western State in 1988. During his senior year, he was recruited by the IRS, within which he completed his internship. Quickly moving up the ladder in the IRS, he also had time to study for the Bar. Martin passed his Bar exam in June 1991. Since then he has been working at the IRS branch office in Los Angeles, CA. Recently he got bored with the work and requested a transfer to the Maryland branch. The request was approved and he moved to Washington D.C. six months ago. Martin applied to FBI rookie training school at Quantico, and has just finished the basic training.
Personality:
Martin is usually very easy-going and easy to get along with (a rare quality in an IRS agent). He is very emotional though, and when he gets mad, he gets really mad. Despite his good looks, he not much of a womanizer. He's more of a 'one-woman-at-the- time' kind of guy. Martin loves animals, but for some reason, the feeling doesn't seem to be mutual, except with dogs.
As indicated before, Martin is a technosexual, who keeps buying new electronic gadgets as the others become 'last week's Model'. He's also a huge sports fan, and he rarely misses NFL at NBC on Sundays. He almost never misses church on Sundays either.
