Backstory:
Hudson Rodriguez was born in Mars Colony Theta-9, a remote outpost carved into the red dust and iron-rich stone. Raised by systems engineers who kept the colony’s fragile infrastructure running, Hudson grew up surrounded by the constant hum of life-support systems and the quiet tension of survival. His fascination with biology and machinery bloomed early, and by the time he left for the Luna Research Institute, he had already reverse-engineered half the colony’s sensor array just to satisfy his curiosity.
Specializing in astrobiology and experimental propulsion, Hudson rejected the safety of academic labs and instead joined the Ardent Traverse Initiative — a loosely organized collective of explorers and scientists dedicated to charting the unknown. His solo expeditions became the stuff of rumor: navigating acid lakes on Gliese-74c, uncovering microbial life in asteroid ice cores, and vanishing into dark zones with only fragments of data and a few cryptic logs returned. Though his methods were unconventional, his findings pushed the boundaries of known science.
The turning point came during the Silent Rift mission — a classified expedition into an unstable subspace corridor. Hudson emerged alone, his ship scarred and crew missing. Since then, he's kept to himself, building research outposts in volatile regions, chasing strange signals and unexplained anomalies. Whatever he saw in the Rift, it changed him. Now, driven by something deeper than discovery, Hudson continues to explore the edge of known space — not for fame or profit, but for answers only the void might hold.
