A scion of one of Solaris' elite families, Loren currently serves as a medical support staff officer for Gebler operations in Aveh; his rank is Lieutenant and he specializes in ether use, particularly healing/support. However, while they may be elite, all is not well for his family. The name Voss has been looked up disfavorably after Loren's older brother Engil's death during an accident his brother caused during a routine Gear exercise years ago, which also managed to kill many of the other participating pilots and destroy expensive equipment. A rather bitter and dryly sarcastic young man, Loren is nonetheless known for his caution and focus. As a Gebler officer he has access to a Gear, Schiehallion, for missions that require it.

Background

Born second son to one of the families counted among Solaris' first class, Loren's now-very-deceased older brother Engil's training accident (and the other lives + property damage that ensued) five years ago have dimmed the fortunes of him and his family. His parents were quietly reassigned to lesser work, and his time in Jugend was uncomfortable due to various rumors being spread about him.

After graduating, he ended up volunteering for operations in Aveh, and that's basically where things are at right now. Pray for him.

Powers and Abilities

Like anyone out of Jugend, Loren has the skillset and knowledge one would expect of an officer. Below are a few notable ones:

  • Combat Medic - One of the major areas of Loren's training in Jugend. As befits a medic, he's best at stabilizing injured allies mid- or post-combat, as needed, with the main goal of preserving life above all other considerations. As a result, he doesn't have much bedside manner and it's not going to be gentle care, but it gets the job done. He can also do some minor surgery.
  • Medical Science Knowledge - Loren's not a doctor (not even close) but he reads up on medical literature and developments and has some limited ability to diagnose problems (again, he's not a doctor). Basically, he's a nerd. He's also good at medical research and with the right resources and enough time can (assuming the issue is medical) probably figure out most medical mysteries.
  • Combat Training - Loren has had basic combat training and knows how to use standard ARMs and is proficient in the use of a shield. He also knows some basic hand-to-hand -- nothing fancy, just how to grapple, throw a punch and so on. He's also been schooled in how to take a hit and is just too stubborn to die easily.
    • L84 'Snow Lion' - Left-arm mount version of a collapsible tactical shield. Useful for defense, and due to its weight, can also be a potent bludgeon in close quarter combat. Looks like a gauntlet when collapsed, and can still be an effective weapon in that state.
    • ILR-764 Standard ARM - A standard Gebler officer sidearm. It's nothing fancy (...by Solaris standards) but it gets the job done.
  • Ether Aptitude and Training - Loren's ether aptitude is significantly high and it's the main reason he was encouraged to enter Jugend. His specialty is in healing and defensive ether effects, but he can also draw upon his earth and water ether offensively. He has best affinity with earth ether. With the proper setup (for example, ether amp systems when piloting a Gear) he can hotfix surface damage to machinery with ether mid-combat (in other words, this is why he can 'heal' a Gear in this mode).
  • Mountain Medium - Medium of the Mountain Guardian, Dinoginos. Loren's not sure what he should do with this, but something feels very strange about it, as if it were meant for him. For now, he's holding onto it.
  • Gear Piloting - Gear piloting is a standard skill for officers, and Loren has proved himself to be a competent if a little bit over-cautious as a pilot. Ether aptitude is a useful talent to bring to Gear combat -- particularly when the pilot leans towards supportive modes.
    • Schiehallion - Not a new model as far as officer's Gears go, but hardly out of date either. Schiehallion is very slow and has some awkward handling, and does not do well when airborne at present but is extremely sturdy and features extensive armoring and shielding systems. The Gear favors ranged modes of weaponry, specifically twin handheld (for a Gear) ARMs and ether amplification systems for the rest.
  • Analog Gaming - Old style card games and strategy board games are his hobby, particularly games like Patience and (Solarian) chess, especially since they can be played alone. But the real upshot is that he is pretty damn good at them and by corollary apply the basic analytic process from these to any situation where he can take his time and think.
  • No Sense of Taste - Well, he seems to be okay with eating just about anything despite his place of birth, so it seems probable he just doesn't have a good sense of taste. Doesn't seem to apply for alcohol though.

Tools

  • Etheric Lenses - Optical gear, designed to look like glasses. A focus for the proper control of ether use first and foremost, but also allows the wearer to more easily notice small details and provides additional visual acuity via ether expenditure.
    Type: WITS
  • Solarian Medical Kit - Standard issue Solarian combat medic's kit, stocked with the basics (and then some) someone might need to treat the injured in the middle of combat. Does not contain Drive.
    Type: COMBAT

Relationships

Friends

he doesn't have any friends lol

Teammates/Colleagues

  • Cardia Ortell - Seems alright all considering but appears to be the reckless type. May cause headaches later. Extensive and astonishing medical records.
  • Elhaym van Houten - A ticking time bomb in his view -- which no one else seems to care about. Complex feelings of rivalry/hatred/fear/resentment. Often ends up as teammate on missions because the universe hates him.
  • Kahm Yugh - Superior officer and another cause for anxiety -- temporarily made Loren acting leader in the event of Kahm's disablement during a mission. Would like to impress him.
  • Kent Hauch - Sort of offends him on general principle. More clever than Loren had thought though -- this is a good and bad thing.
    • Fargo Foobach - Never seen abilities like that before. Seems reasonably intelligent and competent for a Lamb.
    • The Todds - why
  • Myyah Hawwa - Seems (a little too?) nice, but more importantly massively outranks him. Would like to impress her.
  • Seraphita - On one hand, not too bright. On the other, massively out-powers and more importantly outranks him and is one of the Commander's favorites. A headache in the making.

Allies

TBA

Useful People

  • Gwen Whitlock - A courier, can be anywhere and sees many things. Seems easy to manipulate.

Targets

  • Cecilia Adlehyde - Current subject to watch and support on orders.
  • Ethius Hesiod - Symbologist of unusual power. A mystery, and difficult to read or understand. To keep an eye on.

  • Neriah Parringer - What the hell was that?

Enemies

1 The universe is unknowable. Without a doubt, the earliest people stared up at the night sky and were stunned by what they saw there. Here too were shapes, lights -- pale imitations of the brilliance of the day. It's no wonder that the heavens became the place where gods were said to dwell above all that lived. Honesty
