Alcyone Kincaid

Affiliations: Chief Scientist for tech corporation, Former Dean of Science & Technology, Former member of Shattered Dreams

Skills: Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Nanoprogramming, Mechanical Theory, Gadgetry

Status: Alive, no longer on Rubi-Ka

Age: 31 (Born 29457 on Rubi-Ka)

Background: Alcyone's family was killed as collateral damage from fighting between the Clans and Omni-Tek corporation. Being poor, they never afforded insurance, resulting in permanent death. Alcyone was raised in an orphanage where she became the big sister of Elesan.

Alcyone was always attracted to machines and gadgetry, and used what little money she could scrap together at the orphanage to buy books and access to grid feeds to learn the principles of engineering. She also learned to manipulate nanobots as a Nano-technician.

In her early adult life, she focused on building devices, tinkering with existing devices, and providing services to any who sought her aid.

Despite her sister's hatred toward Omni-Tek, Alcyone remained neutral. She was saddened when Elesan became a Clan assassin, but always supported her sister. Even though Alcyone is not Elesan's sister by birth, Alcyone never regarded Elesan as anything less.

Alcyone is a brilliant scientist and was the inventor behind one of Rubi-Ka's greatest endeavors - resurrection of a person beyond Rubi-Ka's notum rich atmosphere. While the resurrection of Jeyin Matusz was the only known successful recipient of this process (sometimes called the Kincaid Protocols), it was nevertheless a landmark achievement, resulting in Alcyone being courted by numerous research firms, including Omni-Tek. Alcyone turned these offers down, preferring to stay on Rubi-Ka to be close to her sister and friends in Shattered Dreams.

Following the events in the Perpetual Wastelands, Alcyone refused to believe that Elesan and the others were dead and spent much time in the area trying to piece together anything that would confirm her hopes. However, after three years with no good signs, Alcyone finally gave up her search. Beaten, Alcyone accepted a professorship for a university far removed from Rubi-Ka. She broke ties with everything on the planet because the memories were too painful.

Since that time, Alcyon served as the dean for the university's science and technology college where she married. After the birth of her second child, she accepted a new position as a scientist for a minor corporation.

After her resurfacing, Elesan refuses to contact Alcyone, believing that her "sister" is better off without her.
