MDEA Information Archive
(01) Always remember that MDEA has been contacting various worlds for almost 76 years now. The process that is readily available in which a new world is contacted is the following:
01. Rupture Studies Branch: The RSB is full of scientists, experts at performing "ruptures". These ruptures are basically blasts through space and time to connect to another world.
02. First Contact Branch: The FCB is kiiiinda hardcore. They are trained specialist agents who enter a world immediately after rupture, and can spend days, weeks... even years assimilating into the societies of that world and gaining trust. As they do so, they learn the customs, the languages, and even the combat and healing techniques of that world. The latter is why you never want to piss a FCB agent off.
03. Negotiation Branch: The NB heads into that world, after the FCB reports that the world is accepting of their presence, and they are responsible for negotiating out where the Travel Agency hubs in these worlds can be placed, and the prices involved with people and items going to and from Desai for whatever reason.
04. Engineering and Construction: Pretty straight forward! They move in after the NB is finished and set up the hubs in all agreed-upon locations.
05. Customs: Customs will usually be a combination of citizens from Desai and the homeworld in question, until appropriate training is completed and the hub(s) can sustain without having their hands held!
All the while, the Intelligence Branch operates behind the scenes to assure all relevant information about the worlds are registered and kept orderly in case a situation arises.
MEET MDEA First in order of appearance, and then those yet to be announced. Keep in mind the ages for future reference. *mysterious music*
DONNA VIASAT

BASICS this knowledge is able to be found out ic
Age: 27
Race/race: Aitai
Height: 5'6" (168cm)
Branch/Department: Intelligence
Known Duties: Public Liaison for MDEA.
MEET AND GREET Info about Donna known by speaking to her; info about her species known by asking or research.
Soft spoken and friendly, it's no wonder Donna was chosen to be MDEA's liaison to the public. Sometimes a bad liar, as Donna's more aligned to being honest to a fault, when speaking to her in the public eye about MDEA matters, she may stumble on herself a little bit. Always eager to share her extreme knowledge, once Donna starts speaking in an environment or on a subject she can speak at length about, she will. It might take someone of great patience, because Donna fringes the line on information overkill when given the opportunity.
When in front of Donna and in a situation where information gathering is of the importance, depending on circumstances, you might occasionally see her freeze up and stare into space. Her brain, as with all Aitai, functions like a computer. When she's been without sleep, or if a situation has several facets of input to take in, any Aitai will behave this way (which is the only tell that you're dealing with one, period, physically). She's processing the information. Likewise she, like any Aitai, will do the same when asked to drag up a particularly large set of information. It's like asking your computer to pull up a movie that's several hundred gigabites, to be honest. It'll take a bit of time.
Fortunately for us, Donna has received training through MDEA that really, every Aitai should have the benefit of receiving. She's been taught how to control her endless thoughts so that she can endure high levels of mental strain--either through pulling up a lot of information, or taking in a lot of information, preventing her from going into a catatonic state. This is something that plagues her species to this day.
THE OTHER STUFF Can only be known IC if your character has been told specifically by one of the mod's characters, or you have been given mod clearance OOCly.
Donna is a high ranking MDEA agent, though not one of the highest. She's valued for her work in Rupture Studies before transferring to Intelligence. One of the most competant of Aitai, Donna has contributed to some of the most drastic advancements in rupture technology through her understanding of quantum gravity and like sciences. Even today, Donna is often called in to commit test ruptures for senior staff (abeit against her will at times; even at gunpoint a couple of them). She is one of the people responsible for ever discovering Desai's very fabric of space and time could be temporarily manipulated for studies, and she has to live with that. Why?
Because Donna, in no way, agrees with what is called the Imperial Agenda. She, alongside her partner Dennick Sharpe, secretly do what they can to leak information in random, specific orders so that the level of information leaving their hands is not enough for MDEA to pinpoint a small group of people only knowing that specific knowledge. But she's watched heavily--more so than Dennick--so her opportunities to be the leak are far slimmer than his.
Abilities include: Rarely armed, and if she is it's a simple 9mm, Donna is hardly a fighter. However, beyond her intelligence, Donna is one hell of a driver. Her calculating brain makes her the one person you want to have on your side when you're trying to get away from someone via some sort of motorized vehicle. For this reason, she tends to be rather fiesty on the road and has tickets coming up to her neck. Consequently, Dennick has banned her from driving his car.
DENNICK SHARPE

BASICS this knowledge is able to be found out ic
Age: 29
Race/race: Human
Height: 5'11" (180cm)
Branch/Department: First Contact Branch (FCB)
Known Duties: Promotion of MDEA's public agenda, reluctantly training rookies to the FCB, supervising extraordinary circumstances involving the Travel Agency.
MEET AND GREET Info about Dennick known by speaking to him.
Dennick can be obnoxious as hell. His language is often laden with profanities and an accent of lazy. He likes booze, smoking, sports and women, and is an all around manly-man. However, from this comes a certain charm that even his supervisors can't really explain, which has him out on the streets with the rookies to the FCB he's training, spreading 'the good word' of MDEA. Unhappily so, mind.
A lot smarter than he acts, Dennick was first recruited into the FCB when he was nineteen years old, following the death of his little sister. The promise from MDEA was that of any organization like that: they would make him strong so he could find answers behind the killing that was in and of itself eerie and brutal. Driven as he is, Dennick took the offer and next thing he knew, he was twenty-seven and being shipped home from a new world after nearly being killed himself during a war between MDEA and a world not open to their arrival.
At the end of the day, the rude, outspoken man is actually a pretty good guy, and not actually that rude. Getting him into the right circumstance (or being a female old enough to be his deceased sister) can prove to be extremely beneficial for all parties. Don't make fun of the pink pen he often carries though, plz. And yes, it does totally write with pink ink too.
Unlike his partner, Dennick is actually a terrible driver. He once plowed his car into a police cruiser while perfectly sober and concentrated. But even still, he refuses to allow Donna to drive because the fact she's never been in an accident isn't the point! It's the fact that she doesn't know how to go under 90mph that's the problem! (Needless to say, it can be fairly comedic to have the two of them in the same car.)
THE OTHER STUFF Can only be known IC if your character has been told specifically by one of the mod's characters, or you have been given mod clearance OOCly.
Like his partner Donna, Dennick is management level within MDEA. His clearances actually exceed hers in some areas--mostly because he's a favorite pet to the FCB leader, the mysterious Ahmea Greer. The feelings aren't mutual (anymore). And like Donna, Dennick is in no way a fan of MDEA's Imperial Agenda, set forth thirty years ago. The ins and outs of it are still unknown by him, but that doesn't matter. Both agents know enough that they're not happy with it, and both realize their leaking information may one day lead back to them, and they'll suffer for it. But Dennick doesn't care. This means as much as finding out the secret behind his sister's death.
Abilities include: Being FCB, Dennick has spent many years in many worlds learning many things. Medicines, languages, religions, combat techniques, even magic. Dennick is a formidable man, and he himself knows it, and rarely shows it. FCB agents are trained from day one to pretend the walls always have eyes when it comes to their abilities, to assure that dossiers of their skills and weaknesses cannot be accrued by enemy hands. Even in a fight, Dennick will exert the lowest amount of skill necessary in order to keep his true potential hidden. But he's only human, after all.

Age: 38
Race/race: Human/Aitai
Height: 6'3" (191cm)
Branch/Department: Negotiations
Known Duties: Lead Public Liaison
MEET AND GREET Info about Lucio known by speaking to him; info about his species known by asking or research.
Strong and intimidating, Lucio is the perfect manipulator. He doesn't back down, and he can run circles around any subject (as any good negotiator should be able to). He has a reason for anything you might ask, and can make anything sound incredible. He really is a smooth talker, and it seems that the vast majority don't care for the "if something doesn't sound right, it probably isn't true" motto when it comes from Lucio. Sometimes, it might feel to those detecting his method of speaking that the vast majority are blind to what he's doing... But vast majority rules, doesn't it?
THE OTHER STUFF Can only be known IC if your character has been told specifically by one of the mod's characters, or you have been given mod clearance OOCly.
Lucio Brae is several tiers above Dennick and Donna. But his true ranking is unknown to most MDEA agents as well, including our two brave heroes.
More as it's necessary to share it.
Abilities include: Being only half-Aitai, Lucio's mental capacity isn't nearly as superior. However, a lot of training has allowed for him to store far more information than a regular human, and without the threats posed from over-stimulation to full-blooded Aitai.
01. Rupture Studies Branch: The RSB is full of scientists, experts at performing "ruptures". These ruptures are basically blasts through space and time to connect to another world.
02. First Contact Branch: The FCB is kiiiinda hardcore.
