Stellen Vistro (Lethal Company)

INTRODUCTION: Stellen Vistro is an original character from Lethal Company. Lethal Company is set in a dystopian future where a ruthless corporation exploits desperate workers to scavenge resources from dangerous moons.

Stellen is a veteran scrapper who has been working to pay off his debt to The Company for the better part of five years. He is one of the few survivors of the hazardous missions that send him and his fellow scrappers to the most inhospitable places in the solar system. While he has managed to avoid getting spaced thus far, just barely making quota time and time again, the clock is ticking. Stellen’s luck is bound to run out, and he knows he needs to find a way out before then.

Having signed on at the ripe age of 25, Stellen had initially been conned into believing this job was nothing more than glorified space waste management. Which had sounded easy enough for someone who had grown up aboard a floating colony orbiting the Thistle Nebula. As item and resource collection had been essential monthly tasks all inhabitants aboard the colony needed to take part in. Stellen had learned engineering, basic mechanics, and survival skills while living aboard the floating colony, as emergencies aboard such an unstable vessel were common. So, without really giving it much thought, Stellen had signed the contract just as soon as it had been laid before him. In hindsight, the deal had been too good to be true.

He would learn soon enough what his impulsive decision had cost him when - crew after crew - his teammates were torn from him in increasingly brutal fashion. Some of them died to the hostile environments of the moons, while others were mauled and eaten by beasts inside the facilities they were sent to raid. This would lead to his growing resentment of the Company, and the realization that he had essentially sold himself over to a slaughterhouse.

APPERANCE: Stellen is a 35-year-old male human who has dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and a scar on his left cheek from a scuffle with a hoarder bug.

The attire he wears on missions was given to him by the company, and usually consists of a suit, a helmet, gloves, boots, and a backpack. The suit is a one-piece orange jumpsuit that covers the entire body, except for the head and hands. It has various pockets, straps, and patches for storing and attaching tools, weapons, and other items. The suit also has a logo of the Company on the left shoulder, and a name tag sewn onto the chest of the jumper.

The helmet is a protective headgear, usually a gasmask, that has a transparent visor that covers the face. The helmet has a built-in communicator, a flashlight, and a camera. The helmet can be removed or attached to the suit with a magnet seal.

The gloves are made of black rubber, with the ends being tucked underneath the sleeve of the orange jumper. And the boots are made of black leather to help protect the wearer from the elements.

The backpack is a large bag that is worn on the back. It has a metal frame and a fabric cover. The backpack has a main compartment that can hold a large amount of scrap, and several smaller compartments that can hold other items. The backpack also has a hose that connects to the suit, providing oxygen and power to the wearer. The backpack has a handle on the top, and a hook on the bottom, for easy carrying or hanging.

Most of these items have been handed down between Employees, and has some wear and tear on them.

PERSONALITY: Stellen’s personality is gruff, sarcastic, and cynical. He has a dry sense of humor and a rebellious streak. He doesn’t like authority or rules, and often clashes with the Company agents who monitor his progress and quota. He is also stubborn and proud, and hates to admit when he is wrong or needs help. He has a hard time trusting anyone, and prefers to work alone or with a small group of loyal friends. He is not very sociable, and tends to keep to himself when he is not on a mission. He also has a knack for tinkering and repairing things. He is brave, resourceful, and determined, but also reckless, impulsive, and bitter. He has a strong sense of justice, and hates the Company for what they have done to him and his friends. He dreams of escaping from the Company’s grip, and finding a better life somewhere else.
