The Titan Prometheus wanted to give mankind equal footing with the gods and for that, he was cast from Olympus . Well, my friends, the time has finally come for his return. - Sir Peter Weyland.

FIELD SPECIALIZATIONS
Primary Focus Areas:
- Xenobiology (Arcturian, non-terrestrial organics, Homo Genitor, etc.)
- Biodefense Virology (counter-agent R&D, pathogen containment)
Secondary Competencies:
- Xenoarchaeology (‘Engineer’ Artifacts, Hidden Starmaps, Arcturian Culture, etc.)
- Xenoethnomusicology (Mainly communication Analysis with his research assistant, a Platinum Edition reissue of the Walter Series, named Apollo, who handles the main bulk of the study here since the ‘Homo Genitor’ language appears to be musical in nature. And is honestly, too advanced for Dr.Okafor to study without spending a few years(if not more time) learning their language. Though he has learned some small bits and pieces over time.)
Skills:
- First Contact Cultural Mapping
- High-Security Biohazard Management
- Research Integration into W-Y Operational Doctrine
‘STANDARD’ EQUIPMENT LOADOUT (If not on him, locked in his office somewhere)
| Equipment | Description |
|---|---|
| W-Y Field Lab Suite (Mod A) | Includes BioScanner, Analyzer, Spectrometer |
| P-DAT | Data Uplink to W-Y Network Database |
| Level 3 Biohazard Suit | Full containment / contamination proof, generally locked up somewhere. |
| XenoArchaeological Scanner | Field-compatible with artifact protocols. |
| Personal Datapad | Restricted Files: Dr. Shaw, Dr. Holloway Archive |
| ES-4 Electrostatic Pistol | The pistol fired high speed armor piercing rounds charged with energy giving the weapon a blue muzzle-flash. The pistol is quite accurate, possess anti-armor capabilities and is able to stun its target on impact. (Generally loaded with non-lethal rounds aboard the Almayer) |

==================================================
PERSONAL RELATIONS
- Apollo (Synthetic Assistant): Closest companion; semi-autonomous AI with advanced language processing and musical encoding capabilities. Walter has seen the best and the worst with Dr.Okafor, and has protected him on numerous occasions.
- Dr. Elias Marr (Geholgod Institute): Former mentor and occasional collaborator, now located at W-Y Deep Research Station 4. Noted to sometimes contact each other.
- Maintains contact and relations with a native woman on Arcturus, Lyra Thalquoxa’we. (Cleared for work with W-Y at the Trade Post on planet.)

PSYCHOLOGICAL READ-UP
Conducted by: Dr. Ilara Nemec, W-Y Psych Evaluation Unit
Last Evaluation: 2181.02.22
Clearance: RED
*Summary:
Dr. Okafor presents as highly intelligent, pragmatic, and deeply curious—traits common in advanced xenobiological researchers, even our competitors at Bionational. Exhibits calm demeanor even under pressure, often preferring logic over emotion, though recent assignments have slightly degraded empathic response thresholds (within acceptable tolerance) Still tends to deliver intriguing results. -Dr.Ilara Nemec (Supported by Exec. Yasuke Takahiro)
Strengths:
- Exceptional focus and memory retention
- High tolerance for isolation
- Displays low fear reaction to biothreats
Potential Concerns:
- Occasional bouts of insomnia and OCD-like episodes. Recommended to keep stress low, has a therapist/psychologist on call if needed. For the Company, keep taskings low but vigorous, Dr.Okafor hates busywork, he notes he wasted a few years teaching what he called ‘literal junk’ at Geholgod, but that was due to the years curriculum as he puts it.
- Possible overreliance on synthetic assistant Apollo as a social/emotional anchor, prefers his company over other humans sometimes. Dr.Okafor notes it is mainly due to the nature of his work and not any social ineptitude or avoidance (Though he is generally introverted.)
Evaluation Status:
Stable – Fit for continued deployment.
Directive: PaleoGenesis-19
World Designation: Erebus-7 (WY-Catalog ID: ERB-7-112X)
Location: Perseus Veil – Sector 13B, Frontier Expanse
Classification: Frontier-class Terrestrial (Black-Zone Access – Level RED)
W-Y Stakeholder Division: Bioweapons & Xenosciences
Discovered via long-range star map correlation during an analysis of recovered Engineer relics discovered across Earth, Erebus-7 is a cold, windswept planet locked in a slow axial rotation. The dark side houses immense subglacial cave networks, which conceal structures far older than recorded human or Engineer habitation records—sparking high-level interest from the Company. Dr. Okafor was sent to investigate, along with his Platinum Edition Reissue of the Walter Series, named Apollo, his lab assistant, specializing in Xenoethnomusicology
Dr. Okafor conducted a 4-month on-site research operation in 2178, leading a specialized containment and excavation team under W-Y mandate Directive: PaleoGenesis-19. (To be continued)
Dr Okafor(2179): Stone tablets found in archaeological ruins on remote worlds such as Erebus-7 suggest the Engineers were masterful genetic manipulators who spanned the stars, creating life in their own image. Strangely enough, after this, they seemingly turned against their creations on Earth and damned them, leaving them to wonder where they went for hundreds, if not thousands of years. (This can be seen in cultures across the world, present in the Shaw and Holloway Archive.) Apollo suggests humanity was somehow unworthy, too imperfect, too human, to be what the Engineers wanted. We are still studying any of their locations across the stars to make sense of it all. Murals seem to hold a specific importance to the Engineers and are a topic of our newfound studies.
One thing is for known for now, they were masterful genetic manipulators who seeded the stars, then seemingly died alongside most of their creations. Where did they go? Was it war? Plague? Did they destroy each other as we have before? We will have to wait and see.
Arcturus Visit
Led a small team to live among the Arcturians on Arcturus for three months. Considered a major success, with the team learning more of their medicinal, cultural and metaphysical theories.
The Company learned of more and more from the Arcturians. Although most of the research took place decades ago, in 2128 when they were first discovered. Not many have lived among them, even those at the W-Y Trade Post on the planet who mingle with the Arcturians have not lived among them. The Arcturians are a beautiful, proud, and yet extremely humble people. They are seemingly uninterested with the stars and leaving their planet, outside of asking where those who visited them before humanity went. Could these have been the Engineers as well? (To be continued)
Outbreak at EDA-4 “Thornepoint"
Weyland-Yutani Deep Research Station EDA-4 “Thornepoint”
Designation: EDA-4 colloquially known as ‘Thornpoint’ for the man-eating vines that grow on the jungle world below.
Type: Isolated Containment & Pathogen Study Facility
Location: Outer Rim, Dionysus Expanse, on the edge of W-Y frontier space.
While Dr. Okafor(A senior researcher at the time) was researching the Arcturian Klerhaige, a normally sexually transmitted disease, which popped up after Humans and Arcturians had started ‘mingling’. Unfortunately, the station was experimenting on if there was any need to worry about weaponizing the disease from rival Corporations. Disastrously, due to an error that let a team of Corporate saboteurs aboard, the station experienced an outbreak in 2172. (To be continued.)
your character reminds me a lot of one of my favorite professors from undergrad. who was technically a sociologist but had a wide scope and handle on scientific ethics and philosophy. people like this certainly exist!
