ISIS (Integrated Systems for Information and Security)
Despite traces of humanity, the legendary ISIS--the helm of the Frontier Fleet's flagship, the USS Infinity, ISIS is nothing more than a gigantic wheel.
Despite this, it is pivotal to the existence of all humanity, as ISIS holds ALL the information we have ever obtained, in any form or another. It operates using a form of mataheuristic cloud computing, which, since infromation is accessed only when it is needed, eliminates the need for a hard drive.
It is charged with the task of analyzing planets for potential life while we humans reside here, on this most alien of worlds. It controls the life support and defense systems both on board the ship and in the human settlements, using the same cloud computing method it does to analyze all other infromation.
This method of operation also eliminates the need for a systemic core or base of operations, and as such ISIS is, for better or worse, effectively impossible to shut down. It's primary directives are:
0012: SCAN UNIVERSE FOR PLANETS HABITABLE TO HUMAN BEINGS AND INFORM US OF THEM.
0001: ENSURE THE SURVIVAL OF HUMANITY WHILE ON BOARD THE FRONTIER FLEET OF SHIPS.
It has a brushed metal exterior, with a gigantic, single HAL-9000-like "eye" in the middle, and it is programmed to sound like AUTO, from Disney/Pixar's WALL-E, sine his accent is universal.

So, humanity is "protected" by this onboard spaceship AI...interesting...don't know how exactly this will effect everyone's characters but it'll be nice to see!
Cool to see you'll be in this Therion! I'm interested in seeing what you're character/s will be like!

ISIS is extremely old.
It is believed to have gone through beta testing at NORAD in AD2052, a few years before the disappearance of the last glaciers of the Andes. It was at this time that humanity realized that the damage done to the earth was irreversible, and we began to search for other planets.
This arguably makes ISIS the oldest character, clocking in at approximately 2,000 years old.
There have, of course, been several systemic crashes and upgrades to the ISIS program. The most recent was it's update to version CHARLIE (numeral version 3.0.32) in 4000. The most infamous update had to come after the great "Summer of Love" in which a ship of humans defected from the fleet and chose to stay behind on earth. As a directive, these humans were deemed a threat, and ISIS killed them all while they were back on our home planet. This incident resulted in the forced decommissioning of the USS Perennial.

Middgeared
"He is the Wisdom and the Truth."
This is what most of the indigenous inhabitants of this planet have to say about what they believe to be the oldest inhabitant.
Seldom seen, Middgeared has a tall, brash figure, and is almost never without his trenchcoat, given to him as a gift from the crew of the Deuteronomy. He is quiet, dark, and unkind, often dispensing advice not so much as wanted, but as needed.
Just who is this man? What kind of powers does he possess that make him revered among the natives of this lush world?
Only time will tell...
"Oh, tree of Middgeared, may your stem burst into leaf!"
