Occasionally (read: all the fucking time) admins will add a special character to spice things up. It will improve your game experience if you have a vague idea of who some of these characters are. Note that this is not a complete list, although it encompasses the most common recurring characters.
Colonel Krieg
A former Nanotrasen Corporate Marine commander, Colonel Krieg no longer takes part in front-line intercorporate warfare, but still works hard for his salary. He is a fixer, the person Nanotrasen calls when the situation is irreversibly fucked, and the only way to go is to continue fucking it until it looks like it did before. How much money do you make in a year? It doesn't matter, because he makes more. You can recognize him by his heavy powered armor. He usually carries a handful of other high-tech toys, including a personal shield and pulse rifle. He has full override powers on any Nanotrasen facility and is a hardened combat veteran, so don't fuck with him. That said, he is a happy drunk and a generally laid back guy.
The Barlien
Sometimes a Xeno undergoes a midlife crisis and decides it doesn't want to slave away for the hive until it gets wasted by some trigger-happy marine in power armor. When this happens, they generally take a few years off, visit Europe, learn to speak human languages, and eventually end up tending bar somewhere in Nanotrasen space. Attacking them is a bad idea because a) they are good bartenders, b) they are still xenos and will probably kick your ass and then eat it, and c) the crew tends to be quite fond and protective of them.
SUR250 series organisms
The SUR250 series is a group of experimental genetically engineered organisms developed by Nanotrasen. Originally intended as highly specialized medical personnel, most models are now reassinged for combat and assassination missions due to their aptitude for extreme violence. If one of these is loose on your station, you should probably kill it as fast as possible. However, these organisms cost a lot to grow, and Centcomm tends to get pissy if they get killed, possibly resulting in a visit from the Death Squad or Colonel Krieg.
The Grifter
No one knows who he is, or where he came from, but what he definitely wants is blood and gibs in huge quantities. He wears a welding mask and wields a fire axe, and if OH FUCK THERE HE IS SHIT RUN.
The Space Gods
There are several of these guys. They are generally pretty cool bros, but if you make fun of them too much or act like a condom you are pretty likely to get yourself smited. For more information check out a copy of "Pantheon of the Space Gods" from your local station library.
Lars Jennings
Stay the fuck away from this dude, seriously. You'll probably end up dead or horribly injured.
Pennywise The Clown
A clown from Honkel-9, he is often seen doing other jobs rather than being a clown, often due to other people being useless.
He can be un-armed or armed to the red nose.
He is friendly and kind, unless you are a dick who hates clowns, then you may want to watch your step, seriously space lubed bananas are not fun.
