Jack always loved the sight of space unlike many others. He loved it contrasted to the Revolting creatures he raised. He was thousands of lightyears away from anywhere in the dark part of space. He avoided the tiny black holes, dark matter clouds and wandering planets that polluted the emptiness of space. It was serene and his hard work was never done. His next stop was the Jorlan Galaxy, or Jorlaniana as locals called it. His cruise was interrupted by some mysterious debris floating in space. He stopped his ship and grabbed it with the ship's arms. He brought it in and it revealed to be a life pod, this was a desprate technique of humans to create life, they believed that if they launch a bunch of these into space that they could begin life on a barren planet. Inside of it was a bunch of petri dishes of bacteria and protista.

Short Somewhat Long Bio:
Anton was young, very young, only about six years old, when he met Rocky. He was sitting outside, alone under the tree he usually sat under, when something fell from a ship in the sky, which was being chased by others, military ships much more familiar to him. The object crashed to the ground, creating a small crater. Anton, dangerously curious in his youth, moved closer to the crater. The battered robot in the epicenter looked at him sadly as the life faded away from his eyes... what Anton saw drove him to tears.
He dedicated weeks afterwards to repairing that robot, blazing through file after file to learn everything he needed to know. His parents admired his naive determination, and word of his endeavors eventually spread. "Do robots even have souls?" "Is it even worth saving?" "I hope that kid isn't reviving some kind of horror programmed to kill us all..." These and other topics were the subject of much gossip. The Federation also knew of this, and started looking for a volunteer amongst their ranks to keep an eye on him, both worried about what he might be working on while eager to have a potential future engineer. Another engineer, Huey, volunteered. He was a very friendly guy, who, after asking Anton and his parents for permission, started helping him, supplying him with the tools and knowledge he couldn't get from text or anyone else on the colony.
Eventually, they managed to fully repair the robot, replacing it's damaged memory core and getting the dents out of it's hull. They reset the power, and the robot's eyes opened. Where am I? who am I? All he knew was that he owed that kid his life. He made a vow, to stay by his side and protect him for as long as both of them lived. He hasn't broken that vow for 13 years, and counting, the two becoming the best of friends in the process, the robot gaining the name Rocky. As Anton got old enough, he applied for an engineering job with the Federation. To his surprise, it was none other than Huey taking his application! Huey wouldn't even have recognised him if Rocky wasn't there as well. He pulled some strings, made Rocky his guardian unit (According to Federation Marines protocol, All non-combatant units, such as medics, mechanics, engineers, etc, must have one or more combatant units with them at all times for protection) and supply him with some prototype equipment to make sure his friend would be safe in the field, including a starship and advanced power suit.
Equipment:
EVA/Hazardous Environment/Engineering suit:
The EVA is a multi-billion-credit prototype suit designed for survival in hostile environments, including the vacuum of space. It is completely airtight and has several other features I will outline in detail:
Shielding:
The suit has an extremely rare energy core that produces an unbreakable, microscopically thin membrane around the suit. However, it's energy supply is limited, and it's energy decreases with every hit it takes, the amount reduced depending on the damage. The maximum amount of energy that can be stored can be increased by some EXTREMELY rare, expensive expansion units costing almost as much as the suit itself. The suit's shielding is detailed by the red meter on the back of the suit, which is replaced by the user's vitality when the shielding is down. ((Think Metroid and you'll get the idea for this.))
MicroGravity Movement Systems:
The suit has a variety of systems designed to allow it's user easy control over their movement in zero-gravity conditions. The suit has thrusters to move around and gravity generating, magnetic boots to allow the user to walk or attach to a moving surface.
Kinesis Module:
The kinesis module, a breakthrough in the developing science of pinpoint gravity manipulation technology, fits around the wearers wrist, easily and securely attaching to the grooves on the EVA's left wrist made for it. It allows precise manipulation of gravity to tether an object in a gravity field, causing it to be pulled towards the user, which can then be either released or have it's polarization reversed, throwing the object at high speeds. Due to it's prototype status, there are some things that are too big or aren't very compatible with the module. Living things or robots are right out, unless they are floating freely in zero gravity (are not held down), along with any items, weapons they may be holding, as long as they have a firm grip on them.
Stasis Module:
The stasis module, like the kinesis module, goes around the EVA's left wrist. It shoots a small time-stasis field, meant for bypassing moving machinery without having to turn it off. It works well on it's intended targets, the field easily slowing the object down to 1/4th of it's original speed, with the effect lasting for ten seconds. On organic or robotic targets, however, the effect is much less prominent, slowing the target down to 5/8ths of it's original speed for about three seconds (barely enough time to dodge an attack and get a head start on fleeing or counter). Unlike kinesis, this has a finite energy supply, 3 'charges' that deplete once per use of the kinesis module. The charges replenish themselves at 1.5 minutes per charge, taking almost five minutes (4.5) to completely refill.
Tools:
Anton possesses various tools used in his trade to repair, amplify, and run diagnostics on various things. Wrenches, Arc Welders, and scanners are some examples.
Plasma Cutter:
Appearance:
The Plasma Cutter is a highly dangerous handheld mining tool that fires a linear beam of plasma energy, easily able to slice off a limb in one shot. The beam travels almost as fast as a bullet, and the protrusions are sharp enough to lacerate when swung with enough force (melee damage). It's Anton's primary weapon.
Ship:
Ship Name: Engineering and Exploration Light Combat Cruiser model 0.8 | Ship Nickname: Beta
Ship Features/Abilities:
It goes fast. It was custom-built for him by the Federation. It's equipped with a hyper-drive to get him where he needs to go, although Anton tries not to use it if he doesn't have to, because it makes him feel uneasy. It has two frontally-mounted rapid-fire laser cannons, supplemented by an EMP turret that pops out from the underside of the ship, manned by Rocky from the back seat, which can disable shields and stop a ship in it's tracks temporarily. It has basic shielding, not the best, but not the worst either. Not that it needs good shielding with it's speed, though. It also has auto-repair functions, along with a recharge station for the duo's equipment and weapons.
Looks:
Home Planet:
A colonized dwarf planet (kinda like Pluto, it's just barely too small to be considered a full planet) near the border of Rythos, known as Norion. It's a suprisingly lush, green, watery planet. Because of it's strategic location, it's a high-value position for the Universal Federation Marines, well-manned and protected. This, in turn, has led to both questioningly legal trade with and relative safety from the pirates not very far away...
Current Location:
Norion, leaving for a first job.
Rocky (Most of his details are covered in Anton's app, such as the bio, so I won't waste time and space duplicating them):
Name: Rocky | Age: Unknown | Species: Robot | Faction: Federation, though he ultimately fights for Anton | Occupation: Anton's protector
Appearance:
Stats:
Experience: 8
Loyalty: ELEVEN (well, ten, but you get the idea.))
Piloting: 7
Intelligence: 3
Sanity: 10
Traits:
Strong
Caring, sometimes to the extent of being overprotective
Selfless
Somewhat unintelligent
Skills/Abilities: Strength: He is extremely, well, strong. If this actually had a strength stat, it would be ELEVEN. Boosters: He has rocket boosters contained in his feet, he uses these for zero gravity movement and flight on the surface. Shielding: Rocky has incredibly powerful defensive shielding. Through manners unknown, this also shields him from EMP fields. Missiles: Rocky, currently unknown to him and everyone else, has a variety of missiles that are produced within his frame, ready to fire. Their supply recharges automatically, but he can't fire too many at once. ???:Rocky's origins are unknown. What is known, however, is that he's not your average robot. He has a much greater degree of humanity than most robots. In fact, he is not bound by the laws of robotics; his care for Anton is reserved for him and him alone, and he will do anything necessary to protect him.
Home Planet: Umm... "Planet ???" This would be sort of spoiler-ish, because his origins are unknown.
Current Location: Norion, by Anton's side.

((Better to loosely base your character off of something than copy a character's personality entirely, which has already been done by Epicositys, so don't start acting like a **** and start bashing everyhing I do, please. Also, note that I said it's thirty hours since I started writing it. I'm in several RPs, and the fact that I have a life doesn't help.))

((To restate, it had been thirty hours since I started writing it, which I mentioned in my app. I am in four RPs, including this one, and I have a life. These things can combine to make sure I can't sit for thirty hours straight typing that app. Please pay more attention when you read something. And let's face it, you're coming off as sort of rude. You're saying "Ok, whatevs." As if there's something inherently wrong with it, yet you're going to be some sort of nice person by letting it drop. And while you're nitpicking at details of my app, yours seems like it took significantly less time to make.))

((I never said it was hard, I just said it took time... I never said the end end result was especially good or bad, just that it took time. Also, in creating that app, I introduced two player characters, one NPC that may have a returning role, a planet, and an entire organization. If you ask me, it's safe to say that I put a lot into it. Either way, I accept your apology.))
Smugglers have been dealt with. But the shields have been down for a while and the ship is missing life support and the cafeteria (just a fridge with food in it with a table with 3 chairs really) which the robot does not need. The good news is that the engines still work and can still travel to the nearest system which has been encrypted so hartham does not know whether it is habited or not but using logic it must be due to the original crew going there in the first place.
Hartham:commence route to nearest system......
Ship:route commence.......
Hartham:Charge remaining weapons within range of destination
