3. What can you tell me about the characters?
-Commander John Robert Crichton, Jr. (Ben Browder)
He is human, a second generation IASA astronaut with a full doctorate in
Cosmic Theory (who also attended J.F.K High School). He & his childhood
friend DK (Murray Bartlett) developed a theory about acceleration,
hoping to pioneer space travel. Instead, his experimental ship
(Farscape 1) went sling-shooting through a worm hole to an unknown part
of the universe. He arrived in the middle of Moya's struggle to escape
from the Peacekeepers, and his unexpected appearance caused a PK ship to
lose control, killing the pilot (Captain Crais' brother). Now the
Peacekeepers hunt for him as well as the escaped prisoners. Some added
trivia from That Old Black Magic (ep 8) - his mother's maiden name is
McDougall, he skipped the fourth grade, lost his virginity to Karen Shaw
in the back of a 4X, and dislocated his shoulder when he trashed his
motorcycle. Also mentioned in "The Flax" (ep 13) that he was involved in
a head-on collision when he was 19 years old.
-Officer Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black)
She's Sebacean, a grunt in the Pleisar Regiment (part of Peacekeeper
corps),and has been trained since birth to be a soldier. After she was
brought on board Moya by the prisoners, Captain Crais (her Commanding
Officer) decided she'd been "irreversibly contaminated". Condemmed to
death, she decided to join with the prisoners. Her Starfighter (called
a Prowler, and likely fueled by chakan oil) is aboard Moya, and she
carries a PK Pulse Rifle (again, likely fueled by chakan oil). Sebaceans
are also extremely sensitive to heat. We find in ABL (ep 18) that Aeryn
first flew at 14 cycles (scrub runners). At 14 1/2 she flew KL-80's and
81's before attending Prowler Attack School at age 16 cycles. When
Larraq asked her why her training began so late, she said she had to
wait until her feet could reach the pedals.
-Ka D'argo (Anthony Simcoe)
A member of the Luxan species - a race of fierce warriors known for
their volatile nature. 30 cycles old, he says he was imprisoned aboard
Moya (for 8 cycles) for killing his CO, although in "Back and Back and
Back to the Future" (ep 10105) it is hinted that there's more to this
story. He carries a Qualta sword, which can be transformed into an
energy rifle (not sure of the specs) when necessary. He also has some
pretty intense body piercings, a tongue that's the envy of Gene Simmons,
and an interesting way of keeping family portraits close to his
hearts..... He also mentions in DNAMS (ep 9) that he was imprisoned by
his leaders, not his people. If wounded, the blood flow must be
stimulated until the blood runs clear, not reddish brown. If not, the
blood turns toxic and the Luxan will die of blood shock. In episode 14
we discover that he has two hearts.
-Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan (Virginia Hey)
Pa'u (meaning 'Priest') Zotoh Zhaan is a middle-aged (812 cycles)
Delvian (a highly spiritual and peace loving race). Zhaan has reached
the 9th Plateau in the Delvian Seek (their search for perfect
understanding and unity with all life). She apparently received her
calling to the priesthood suddenly, while in her PK cell (ep 6), and
says it took her over 17 cycles of being tormented by her dark impulses
before she was able to overcome them (ep12) (when her eyes turn red, it
is a sign of tissue bile, migrating to the brain, a precursor to the
Delvian madness). Zhaan's hobbies include spirit painting, meditating,
mixing elixars, and absorbing the pain of others (which is why I call
her the "beautiful blue goddess :::grin:::). As she told D'argo, her
reason for being imprisoned was because, "Even among my kind, I was
something of an anarchist". She also mentions in ep 10 that her body
doesn't carry any bacteria. In episode 21, we discover why this is -
Delvians are Flora evolved!
-Rygel XVI (Jonathan Hardy (voice) and John Eccleston (lead puppeteer
with a core group including Graeme Haddon (co-ordinator - used to be
David Collins), Tim Mieville (the fifth), Mario Halouvas, Damian
Bradford, Matty McCoy, Emma DeVries, Fiona Gentle)
Rygel was Dominar to over 600 billion loyal Hynerion subjects, until his
cousin Bishan had him imprisoned aboard Moya. He has been a prisoner for
over 130 cycles, but has not lost his "royal airs". :::grin::: Hynerions
are also aquatic, non body breeders, and have an especially sensitive
"ear brow". We also find out in episode 20 that he has hundreds of
progeny ("and those are just the official ones").
-Pilot (Lani Tupu (voice ) and Sean Masterson (lead puppeteer with same
core group as above))
Pilot is Moya's control center - all of her systems are maintained by
him. He is the navigator, and monitors all of the living ship's
functions (ep 6). His upper-torso is biologically bound to Moya, and his
tendrils extend through the entire ship, so he can obviously never leave
her. His species (name unknown) is not capable of space flight, so they
have a long standing arrangement with the Leviathans - it is their only
opportunity to see worlds beyond their own. He serves as a link between
Moya and the crew on board. He mentions in DNAMS (ep 9) that he puts
Moya first, then her passengers. He says in ep TTLG (ep 17) that they
are "most fulfilled when serving others. Your (the crew) presence is
gratifying and comforting".
-Moya (the ship)
A species called Leviathan, she is a "bio-mechanoid" (part machine, part
organic - she has a biopolymer structure). She is sentient, though to
what degree is still unclear. She is capable of "Starburst" (going very
far, VERY fast :::grin:::), but has no offensive abilities. The DRD's
(little mechanical "bugs" that run around the ship) apparently assist in
her maintainence and upkeep. She also carries a shuttle aboard, although
it is just a regular ship - not another bio-mechanoid.
-Captain Bialar Crais (Lani Tupu)
In charge of a Command Carrier in the Peacekeeper Corps, he has vowed to
retaliate against Crichton for the (accidental) death of his brother. We
learn in episode 20 (Hidden Memory) that he was conscripted by the PK's
at a young age (a PK recruiter picked up both he & his brother Bilar);
and his parents were common farmers (he was "shanghaid from their
farming commune"). In ep 21, we learn that 18 elite PK's died under his
command while chasing Moya.
- Chiana (Gigi Edgley)
Escaped Nebari prisoner (introduced in episode 15 - upgraded from "guest
star" in episode 21), she was imprisoned for crimes that are unclear.
Her version is that she was would not conform to Nebari society, so she
was a prisoner only because she was different - Salis (the Nebari
official) claimed she was capable of violence, and was a danger. Only
time will tell.....
- Scorpius (Wayne Pygram)
A hybrid Sebacean scientist (introduced in episode 19 - Nerve) - half
Sebacean, half Scaren. In episode 21, Crais alludes to the fact that
Scorpius' branch of the service gives him "special priviledges, which
does not include disrespect of rank", but he doesn't mention what this
branch is. It is also mentioned that Scorpius has physical superiority
over the PK's.
- Talyn
Moya's baby - Pilot explains his appearence thus - "When D'argo broke
the contraception wall 1/2 cycle ago, the Peacekeeper catalyst he
released must have contained the DNA signature to produce weapons" In
episode 21, Aeryn calls him a "complete systhesis of Leviathan and
warship technologies".
