STRUDE
haha, there's not much going on in the ooc though, lol
JASMINE EVENSTAR
as a leader, jasmine is the standard no-nonsense, getting-the-job-done captain. she's good at what she does and no one—not even the agency—can take that away from her. she is merciless. her approach to the job is: you do the job you're paid to do. jasmine is an excellent agent; she does as she is told and knows better than to ask questions.
THE FACTS
before jasmine was "recruited" for unit 8, she was recommended for promotion, but was denied advancement. shortly after, she was, privately, discharged from service and secretly paid to leave the agency. her records are sealed and, officially, jasmine had retired from duty. she is engaged to winston chandler, a successful politician. superficially, jasmine is a "politician's wife;" she attends charity functions and chat with future-investors. despite her cold, cut-and-dry attitude with her team (which leaves much to be desired), she is, surprisingly, adept at handling social scenes.
ELLISON VON BIELEFELD
eli was scouted early. he joined the unit right after graduation. officially, eli is, at best, a dismal agent with a barely passing record. unofficially, eli is one of the strongest synergist under sidereus employment. he was born talented, but he was also born with a penchant for up-to-no-good. unsurprisingly, eli has quite the rapport with law enforcement. eli is often regarded as an embarrassment within the sidereus community; he is the poster boy of what not to be.
THE FACTS
before eli joined unit 8, he was on thin ice with the academy. the specifics of his situation are unknown, but it's not hard to imagine what unsavory businesses eli was involved with. the academy, after a particularly nasty incident, had decided that expulsion was the only fitting punishment for his crimes, but dimitri, having observed eli for several months, suggested an alternate arrangement: let me groom him for unit 8.
GIN EVANS
he graduated the same year as eli, but joined the unit two years later. after graduation, gin was, briefly, employed as an active agent. he quit half a year later and, using his parent's money, opened a very successful night club. it is unclear how or why he joined unit 8, but, given his qualities, he is highly unsuitable for the work. where both jasmine and eli are indifferent to the "dirtiness" of the job, gin is what people might describe as "good," "pure," and "knight-in-shining armor."
THE FACTS
gin comes from old money; he doesn't have to work to keep a luxurious lifestyle. having said that, gin lives fairly moderately (e.g. he takes public transportation, he eats at fast food restaurants, etc). he lives alone in an apartment he rented on his own. his reasons for leaving the agency are unknown and gin is, largely, hesitant in talking about it. similarly, he does not discuss his reasons for joining unit 8. gin has, on occasions, expressed disapproval over the purpose of unit 8, but he has never contradicted or countermand jasmine on her choice of approach.
