Name: Maxwell Shaw

Gender: Male, he/him

Age/DOB: Around 120ish, with an expected lifespan of 'however long it takes', since he's from another dimension they already have life extending DNA systems, as well as concerted breeding programs

Origin/Species: Human, unknown world but as the CEO of a 400 year old power and engineering firm he can live wherever he wants to

Family: Inherited the CEO spot from his mother, his father was an explorer; he has two children, one is nearing 70 and the other about 30, with two different women, neither wives, the younger of which will likely be the one chosen to head the company should he eventually retire (no one says what might happen should he die, because it doesn't really seem like he ever will)

Other: As Monica Kuyul's boss she introduced him to a more massive worldview than even he had, and thus - also introduced him to CHS and Twoarth's dimension

Height: 6'4", quite tall; Build: muscular and long-limbed, poised and confident

Hair: all silvery white, had been blond but went this color before his son was born; silky and straight, kept in a man-bun as shown but he often lets it down if he's in good company; has bushy brows and a full well-kept beard, as well as a handlebar mustache that even if he shaved his beard, he'd always keep

Eyes: medium brown, with signs of age but absolutely not subject to aging. Intense and intelligent, doesn't squint and doesn't need glasses

Appearance: light skin but not pale, doesn't tan very well but also doesn't burn; he is remarkably handsome, and carries himself as such. Though his face is lined with human-like age, it won't get any more wrinkles than it has. He has several piercings in his ears, and the gauges as shown. His voice is low, full, a baritone when he sings, and he does sing. In posing for any Shaw company photographs, you would be unlikely to see the kilt or any other bits from the chest down, but he also does have full tattoos on his chest, back, arms, and possibly other less accessable places - each of those has its own origin and story, and he is very happy to tell people those stories if they ask. He prefers to look very dapper, but is definitely not above getting muddy or wet in the process of exploring or having a little tussle

Genetic Abilities: longevity is one of those things that rich people have always wanted, and by the time his grandfather was in charge of the company, it was clear they'd succeeded. In 400 years of being a corporation, they have had only 5 CEOs. He is tough and strong, durable in ways that even his Izanti friends are impressed by. Agile, though not remarkably fast, he can climb and swim as well as dodge objects if needed, and can take a few strong hits ... before grabbing whoever is hitting him and teaching them a thing or two... His fingers, though thick and strong, are very quick and dexterous, able to type on tiny data pads or on virtual-renders easily, but also he's able to actively use Kuyul's engraving tool - a very specific writing tool for Izantan language that is by far the most complex written language humanity has seen. It is very likely that he has a nearly photographic memory, and that may be due to his father's line, rather than the Shaw family.
Enhancements or Augmentations: He does use electronic equipment but it is all non-invasive such as the gauges he wears providing a very quite audio feed translating things if he twists them in a particular manner. Though he doesn't usually need that in his home dimension since he has learned at least three languages fluently: Com which is effectively 'English', Izantan, and Meztal, with a passing knowledge of several others - all of which help at CHS since their cultures were effectively 'proto-spacefaring' versions of those he is familiar with.
Skills or Profession: the CEO of and member of the founding family of Shaw Power and Chemonautics. This carries with it a weight of responsibility but also of a long long line of people willing to be better than most other corporate entities. Obviously he has the authority of such a post, it is not in any way a 'figurehead' rank, he is the top of that heap. So with that in mind he has a lot of 'paperwork', legal wrangling, and trade or business acumen. But beyond that he also understands what the company makes. The power supply and energy resources of a hundred worlds all have different needs and expectations, how to get power from one place to another safely, how to keep your employees healthy as well as actually happy. And when their health fails for any reason, how to make sure that their recovery time is swift and complete. Chemonautics comes into play with their chemical developments, some of which supply worlds with terraforming additives, others in the medical field for pharmaceutical and clean-room needs. Not just the chemicals themselves but their delivery methods, their storage, and manufacture.
The personal skill set that he himself has developed however is quite unique. He loves architecture, clothing, and culture - so much so that he has 'gone native' on different worlds, taking a year or even longer to just immerse himself in a world's experiences. This is not done lightly, obviously he has a company to run. But even if he's got instant access to the board room and any emergency interests... he prefers to go places and do things without telling other people. So... he's sneaky in that regard, and is likely to come home with a new tattoo, in addition to another contract for medical facilities or a power plant safety inspection.
Personality: One can say that Maxwell Shaw is as 'hands-on' as a CEO could possibly get, without also 'fondling the employees' of course. He is respectful, careful with his words, and listens before judging. Though obviously he has his druthers about who he's around, he vastly prefers to be around the widest variety of people that can also tolerate one another. His whole family has always been about inclusion and broad horizons, and he embodies this love of everything and everyone with a layer of carefully applied corporate professionalism. You can definitely tempt him into a back alley with the lure of a new tattoo but he won't actually get one until he's made sure he won't get a disease there...
Events or History: (from CHS admin page)

CEO, Shaw Power and Chemonautics

Having arrived recently along with a few others from a newly contacted dimension, Maxwell is about as hip as you can possibly be, and has quite the following both because he's cool as hell, and that he runs a company dedicated to forwarding Human (well, all) life in the cosmos. His company's resources have gone into many projects from mining asteroids safely, to providing power to extremely distant colonies, and have come up with unique solutions to complicated social issues.

His vision and that of his ancestry who founded the company, is as inclusive as can possibly be. He's one of the good guys in a corporate realm that is often cut-throat and dangerous if you're working for - or against - the wrong company. The renovation of the campus Clinic as well as funding for personal communication networking are his doing.

Dragon - SEE VIAGRATH'S PAGE for other stuff

Name: Viagrath
Gender: Male, obviously
Size/Shoulder/Length: bipedal 10' hip (20' head) / 30' long nose to tail / 50' ws
Colors: grey, body steely blue-grey which may include a bit of metallic sheen, with frosty white-silver marking on toes, face, and upper neck; wingsails white-frosted pale silver-grey, also tail spade
Breed: 'Pernese' that is in heavy air quotes because neither parent has visible ancestry and 'smaug' was listed as one...
Features: biped, four legged stance but obviously is quite able to get around on two feet, 3 toes with clawed paws, fingers on fore; two leathery wings no visible fingers (internal single gull-wing style) and no claw/wrist thumb; head is equine, with eye ridges and headknobs; tail has spade; no other ridges or bells and whistles, however he does ship with 'bling' in the form of a very nice cane he does not actually need for balance
Powers: Winged Flight - he can fly, and definitely does with gusto, one of those surprisingly sturdy guys on the beach who you see pass your shop every single morning as he's on his 2 mile run type of flier; not particularly agile or fancy, but he will do the laps to keep his muscles present and accounted for
Teleportation, local, temporal, Nexus/Genre - and he does visit plenty of places, but he's not creepin, he's just enjoying a life of 'retirement' and has been exploiting his 'oh are you an old man' appearance the entire time . He can teleport short distances when he knows the area is clear, for instance 'to and from the flight dome' somewhere so he doesn't have to crunch through a small doorway; long distances he actually prefers just taking wing; he definitely goes back and forth through both time and dimensions with ease, visiting locations that would make him wistful for events held there, that he didn't get to participate in
Upright Walking - he has a grace and actually swagger to him with or without the cane, not as bold and brash with it as Pimpth perhaps, but equally unlikely to brandish it at kids to get off his lawn, he likes kids why would he chase them away? He has been known to do it in jest though...
Verbal Speech and Telepathy - normal dragons from Pern don't speak they bellow or squeek or trumpet or whatever the hell, he's got a real voice with words and adds grunts or chuckles or chortles or exaggerated heavy breathing to make people think he's having a heart attack but then guffaws at them when they fell for it. His mental energy is frosted like a privacy window - you see shadows behind it but you're never going to get a clear view into his mind unless he opens the door
Telekinesis - probably how he stands upright, and definitely how he holds small items up in front of his large face
Doesn't Need Glasses for those pupiled eyes - he sees quite a bit under those ridges, but he often pretends to adjust glasses or squint
Breath Weapon? - he don't need no breath weapon but he could probably cough out some smoke for effect

Other Info: never actually impressed or bonded at the 'InterVanya' flight. He's okay with that. But... there is a guy who's pretty chill hanging out with the CHS administration...
