Fractal Rubin
- Born: March 14, 1980 (Pi Day), Los Alamos, NM
- Species: Hoomiku
- Parents: Rena Sinclair (mother), Ardan Sinclair (father)
- Maiden name: Fractal Sinclair
- Spouses/romantic interests: Ian Rubin (husband: 12-23-07 to current)
- Spaceflights/missions: Phoenix 8 (Sierra 1)
- History: Fractal's parents arrived on Earth in 1947 and eventually found employment at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in a top secret division overseen by the CIA. They worked on both physics research and development of new nuclear weapon designs. Fractal grew up with other Hoomiku and was cared for by her parents as much as was physically possible. In 1986, her parents were killed following accidental exposure to fatal radiation levels during an experiment ordered by the CIA to research telepathy blocking techniques. Both died in front of Fractal, who refused to leave their side in the infirmary. She was placed in the care of foster parents following the accident. While she never considered them her new parents, she did return their affection and was polite, but continued to be deeply wounded by the loss of her parents.
In 1989, The New York Times leaked classified information given by CIA analyst Jack Thornwell regarding the extent and details of the projects involving the Hoomiku held by the United States. The Thornwell leak is considered the defining moment when rumors of aliens form into fact, as he divulged major details about the Hoomiku, including crimes committed by the United States and Soviet Union towards them. President George H. W. Bush eventually acknowledges the species in 1990 under growing pressure from both Congress and the press, a move followed shortly by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The United Nations General Assembly drafts Resolution 45/77, defining both the rights of Hoomiku to basic laws and defining the security and privacy of thought as a basic human right. Given that a breeding population exists on Earth, they are not in danger of dying out. The public is shocked, but no massive social upheaval occurs. Several hate crimes do occur, however, and prompt legislation with regards to both the use of telepathy in certain situations and locations and providing the basis for a lawsuit filed by several hundred Hoomiku against the United States. The suit is ruled in favor of the Hoomiku and as a result, Fractal is entitled to a free college education, a house, and $40,000 on her 18th birthday. She attends New Mexico Tech and briefly works as a DJ at a local radio station. Eventually, she transferred to New Mexico University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in both botany and physics.
Following graduation, she began to work at a start-up in Albuquerque studying new techniques for indoor crop growth. In 2006, she traveled to Russia for research into aeroponic farming techniques studied by the Russian Federal Space Agency. There she met Ian Rubin in Star City, and the two hit it off and began dating until Ian's flight to the International Space Station on September 18, 2006. The two resumed their relationship following the flight and in December, Fractal moved to Louisiana. The two were married on December 23, 2007.

- History (Revised for forum RP): Only child raised by her mother. Dad's rarely mentioned and Mom insinuates (read: adamantly maintains) he's dead and spaced. No proof of it, though. Regardless, Bonnie has grown up in the light of the renaissance of renewed interest in Earth on Goldfern Station, brought up by a mother who worked far too hard for far too little money, but who genuinely loved her and filled her with wonderful stories of adventure, space and wonder for the "Pale Blue Dot". Tales of great explorers, the heady early days of space travel, the men and women who fought to break out of gravity wells to visit worlds in the same system. Tales of outlaws, as well: her namesake, Bonnie Parker, of pirates and Capone... of their fates and of the music and culture of a place lost to time and space. Filled with dreams, she fought hard to get her captain's license... only to discover that dreams have prices... as well as interest rates and late fees. Striking out on her own and saddled with a few old debts but no ship to pay them, she takes out one last loan: to buy a ticket to another star, another world. One where a ship awaits, she hopes, along with jobs, wealth and maybe, just maybe... Earth and eternal glory.
- First intro: Arrives at Helios Station with just enough to pay the docking fee, but her ship is repossessed within 10 minutes of her getting there. Stranded and pissed off, she decides to blow some of her meager savings at a bar, where a highly drunk tiger sits next to her and, in the middle of trying to tell him off, he reveals something highly crucial to her quest. She decides to ply the rest out of him with a few more drinks. She gets the info, but stripes decides to try to get into her pants right there in the middle of the room. She cracks a bottle of booze over his head and knocks him out cold, and grabs a few mysterious coins he's dropped while getting out of there. As "Timber" by Pitbull starts to play, she races away from station security as fast as her legs will carry her, shoving aside anything in her way and doing a good attempt at parkour... until she runs into her new best friend...
