Mercenary Crew: Bounty Hunters (aka yet another Mercenary Crew)

[JasraLantill]

As of this Friday, I won't have any internet connection at all for a few days. (Moving is such fun... not.) But as there's a space battle going at the moment, hopefully, Jyot will just be blissfully tinkering with the engines. But feel free to use him in conversation if need be to keep the story going. I don't mind.

[starmark2k]

Ok Guys I’ve worked out the fall plan of what is going to happen so i've listed it and put it in a spoiler tag incase you want it to remain a surprise. It's just the bones of the plan and need to be fleshed outwhile we RP.

 

 

• -Tannis Goes to the ‘Happy Gizka’ and gets a message about the next bounty job, A Jedi.
  
• -Tannis meets Aly and employs her.
  
• -The crew meet back at the ship where Tannis explains the next job.
  
• -The Scimitar flies to Bryndar, a planet in the middle of an ice age.
  
• -On Bryndar the crew investigate at a small outpost.
  
• -The whole crew embark on trek across the frozen wastelands.
  
• -They find an old Crashed LAAT/I full of dead clone troopers.
  
• -The crew are attack from an indigenous beast.
  
• -The crew take shelter in a cave for the night where they are attacked by rival bounty hunters.
  
• -As morning raises they once again trek across the frozen plains and find a crashed Acclamator, Also full of long dead clone troopers
  
• -Investigation of the ship show they were all killed by the Jedi after order 66 was initiated.
  
• -After this I'm keeping a secret until Later.

Ok, I've taken over Grace's character for the time being. If Grace returns and wants Ali back, she can have her. If not, we can just make her an NPC or we can recruit another pilot later.

 

I posted last. SM, are we waiting for someone to post, or can we just sort of arrive at Bryndar now?

[starmark2k]

Alright i suppose the four of us who are still around and poting want to continue so we'll go to Bryndar do this job. I suppose we'll write out or kill off Grace, Joedoe and rexs characters and see about recruiting some other people either during this one or in the space between the end of this one and the next one (if it gets that far!).

 

Anyway i'll work on something later tonight when i'm not on my lunch break, have more time to do it and probably have a few beers in me (i'm more creative that way:D).

 

Anyway if you guys have anyone in mind to replace our leavers invite them to post a char sheet as we can always meet them on the planet at some point. Although i would prefer to avoid this situation (due to the fact it'll copy AotE) they can be the Jedi if they want and we'll work out why we don't kill or capture them.

You can count me in! ^.^

 

 

Position: HeadHunter Pilot

Name: Elizabeth Kartyk

Nickname: Prefers to be called Ellie, Bolt

Species: Human

Sex: Female

Age: 23

Alignment: Neutral

 

Appearance: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/hell-dragon/Anime%20Girls/CAT.jpg

 

Weapons/Equipment:

• tan canvas messenger bag
  
• modified hold-out blaster
  
• a set of sixteen throwing blades
  
• slicing kit
  
• her 'sneaking shoes' - a pair of soft-toed leather boots that she wears when either at leisure or sneaking around in places that she shouldn't
  

Specialist Skills/Knowledge:

• piloting - stuck in the slums of the galaxy's Capital, Ellie had only one thing to keep her out of trouble, and that was her swoop bike. She grew up piloting in races, and when she was older, cycled through various shipping companies as a pilot for their freighters.
  
• ranged fighting - when everyone's carrying a blade in their pocket, it's usually a good idea to keep your distance when there's a chance of a fight. She's made good use of this lesson, and has become an expert long-range fighter, whether it be with a blaster or the throwing knives her father...er...'passed' down to her
  
• theivery - how do you think she survived? Her parents? Certainly not! On the streets, being able to make yourself look as small as possible so that you can fit into any crack isn't a skill, it's a neccesity. She can pick manual locks with little more than a hair pin, and has a custom splicing kit to help her with those pesky electric locks. Once inside, she puts her soft-toed 'sneaking shoes' into use, making hardly a sound as she crosses the room, grabs what she wants, and leaves again with no one knowing the better.

 

Bio: Ellie is a true-blue Coruscantian - albeit, not the kind that you see walking the boardwalks on the Holonet reports or gracing the many covers of travel brochures or whatnot. When it's said that she's a true-blue Coruscantian, that's the spot-on truth - she represents the populations that live beneath the fake, petty luxury and glamor of the upper levels. She's a street-level urchin, just barely making her way through the world. Or, at least she was.

 

"Once I turn eighteen, I am out of this place. I'll take this 'useless talent' and use it to actually make something of myself. You'll see! One day, I'll race for the pros. I'll fly to every planet in the galaxy!"

 

These words spoken from the lips of fifteen year old Elizabeth Kartyk during one of the rather explosive - and daily - fights she had with her father, Ortho. He was a drunk, and a sewage mechanic. Her mother having left when she was hardly a month old, there was no one to stop her father from spending every credit of his pay check on booze, leaving his two kids to fend for themselves. That's where Elizar comes in.

 

Named for her grandfather, her older brother Elizar was Ellie's real father. He was her brother, her companion, her mentor, showing her every trick he knew to survive in a place where any random person would kill you for the three credits in your pocket. They were the perfect team, the dynamic duo. That was...until he was killed in a speeder wreck. Also a racer, Elizar was rammed into the wall by the speeder he was racing head-to-head with, a dirty trick that cost Ellie a brother. She was sixteen at the time.

 

She kept that promise of all those years ago. On the morning of her eighteenth birthday, her room was empty of clothing, weaponry, and supplies, the pantry emptied of any non-perishable food. She was gone. As a final act of her defiance against her father, she cut off her waist-length dark brown hair until it was little more than a pixie cut and dyed it a vivid orange. So passed the symbolic death of Elizabeth Kartyk.

 

She soon found work with an off-planet shipping company, making shipments and rounds around the galaxy. It was in this way that she found herself on the ice planet. She was tired of her last boss - a stuck up pig of a Corellian that thought having a woman on his pay roll made her as good as a street-corner whore - and so jumped ship at the soonest point possible. She's now scoping the place out, living off the few credits she has left as she looks for work.

 

How you were recruited: [recruited] Found after Alindra was put out of commission, she was hired as her replacement.

Relationship requests: As she hasn't been recruited yet, Ellie has no standing relationships with any crew members, nor does she have a past with any of them. She's quite literally 'the new kid'.

 

Timeline:

 

34 BBY - Elizabeth Kartyk born on Coruscant

18 BBY - Elizar dies in a swoop race accident

16 BBY - Ellie turns eighteen, leaves her father and begins life on her own

9 BBY - Ellie is looking for work, and is recruited to be a pilot for the Scimitar

[Grace]

I'll make one final post here. FFWM, Ali's the pilot, not headhunter pilot... headhunter pilot's Kuun Lan (played by Rexraptor).

[Writer]

I'm signing on for the medic spot. Will post char sheet a little later.

[Corinthian]

Can I have Grace's spot after she leaves, Starmark? I figure the Scimitar needs a pilot.

[starmark2k]

Okies Writer can join as medic and Corinthian as pilot, FF12 has already posted as a headhunter pilot so guess i have to let her join (Joking, glad to have you onboard or soon to be as you haven't officially joined the crew yet.)

 

We'll work out what to do with Aly, et al later on.

 

Ok the best way i figure the new characters to join is if they help with the bounty and at the end Alec offers a position. Maybe one of the characters can act as a guide because they've been stuck on bryndar so long and another has a tracked vheicle or somthing as repulsolift doesn't work?

[Corinthian]

Position: Pilot

 

Name: Kadis Venarm

 

Nickname: Iceman - courtesy of Jyot.

 

Species: Human from Brentaal

 

Sex: Male

 

Age: 28

 

Alignment: Neutral

 

Appearance: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/MalReynoldsFirefly.JPG

 

Weapons/Equipment: DT-57 Heavy Blaster Pistol, a vibroknife.

 

Specialist Skills/Knowledge: Piloting the Scimitar - The Scimitar moves like an extension of Kadis. Within the limits of the ship's technology, the movement is perfect. Kadis prides himself on his ability to achieve near-perfect landings almost every time.

 

Militia Training: Back on Brentaal, Kadis was given basic training in the use of blasters and hand to hand combat. It never really came into play at the battle, but he's kept up his training and is better than most with his fists and blasters, although nothing compared to most of the others.

 

Scimitar Knowledge: When he's at the controls, he always knows when something isn't working right. When he's walking the ship, he notices when things are misplaced. A bent grate, slow acceleration, a turn that's harder than it should be, bad door hydraulics...he doesn't really know how he does it, he just does.

 

Bio: Kadis was born on Brentaal, in the capital city of Cormond. As one of the major stops along the route in from the Colonies region to the Core, Kadis often saw trade ships coming and desired to one day command one. Not long after he made that promise to himself, the Clone Wars broke out and Brentaal became an embattled world, first with the CIS coming from the sky to dislodge the Republic Garrison, and then the Republic returning years later with Jedi at their front to drive the CIS back. During their invasion, the CIS conscripted Kadis and most of his friends and family in a desperate attempt to supplement the droid armies. He was captured by a unit of the Grand Army and sent to Kessel for the rest of the war.

 

While on Kessel, he made some contacts with a smuggler who was about to be released, and after the end of the Clone Wars and his release, he joined up with a smuggling crew as the co-pilot, working for a Hutt smuggling Ryll to Nal Hutta. After a close run-in with an Imperial Customs Cruiser, he ditched at their next stop on Ryloth.

 

Over the next seven years, he bounced around the galaxy, until his ship, a freighter taking survival gear to a colony in the Outer Rim, crash-landed on Bryndar. He's been trapped down there for the past two weeks.

 

How you were recruited: The crew found him buried in the snow on Bryndar, and allowed him to go with them and assist them for passage off Bryndar, which eventually turned into him becoming part of the crew.

 

Relationships: As he has not even joined the crew yet, Kadis has no relationships, although he will be unlikely to be very friendly to Zip - given his time on Kessel and stints with several questionably legal operations over the past ten years, Zip would probably see him as being more suited to the cells than the controls.

 

Timeline: 37 BBY: Kadis Venarm is born on Brentaal.

 

22 BBY: Clone Wars break out. Brentaal taken by the CIS, then uprooted by Republic counterattack. Kadis conscripted, captured, and sent to Kessel.

 

19 BBY: Clone Wars end. Kadis released from Kessel. Joins up with a smuggling crew.

 

18 BBY: Leaves the smuggling crew after a close call.

 

9 BBY: Crashes on Bryndar.

[Writer]

Position: Medic

Name: Colin Lark

Nickname: Cole

Species: Human/Kiffar mix primarily, with a few others thrown in somewhere along the line

Sex: Male

Age: 26

Alignment: Light with a few darker tendencies

 

Appearance: Image: Colin Lark

 

Weapons/Equipment: “Chemicals, drugs, sedatives... you name it, it can be used as a weapon. Think there’s a few knives of various sizes in there too... you’d have to ask her...” *jabs a thumb in his sister’s direction* “Makes me carry all the stuff... ooh!” *Colin is rewarded with a swift jab in the ribs for that comment.*

Specialist Skills/Knowledge:

Medical practice – Colin and his sister occasionally hint to the possibility that he was once employed as a doctor for the Imperials.

Disguises – “Pain isn’t the only result of a cutting utensil...” *he chuckles* “Lots of cool, convincing disguises a doc can do with the proper instruments and materials...” *he holds up his bag*

Hand-to-Hand combat – How and why a doctor knows the quickest way to drop a being twice his size is a mystery... and Colin prefers it that way.

 

Bio: The records on Colin Lark will later be confirmed by Zip to be false. But they are rather simple. Born and raised on Coruscant, he and his sister were well taken care of. He was an exceptional student and graduated med school with honors. From there, he took a job in a small, private medical facility. After a while there, he resigned and began looking into providing medical attention on ships in flight.

 

Bryndar is where he left his last job, but he isn’t optimistic on finding a new one here. He’s looking for passage off-world and he’s willing to pay... a lot.

 

How you were recruited: It hasn’t happened yet. Initially, he’s recruiting the Scimitar to take him off Bryndar.

Position: N/A

Name: Raelyn Lark

Nickname: Rae

Species: Human/Kiffar mix primarily, with a few others thrown in somewhere along the line

Sex: Female

Age: 21

Alignment: She seems like an innocent, fun-loving girl... until she takes someone down.

 

Appearance: Image: Raelyn Lark

 

Weapons/Equipment: After jabbing her brother in the ribs for his prior comments, Raelyn eerily comments, “I am a weapon.” She also wears a long, very sharp dagger on one hip.

 

Specialist Skills/Knowledge:

Melee combat skills – If you see someone wearing a knife on her belt, you gotta assume she can use it.

Hand to hand combat – Though it won’t be evident until later, Raelyn can easily outmatch her brother.

 

Bio: The records on Raelyn Lark are just as phony as her brother’s and they’re just as simple. Raelyn was identified as a genius at pre-school age. But even classes for advanced-students fell beneath her level and any attempt at education bored her. She read massive amounts of books and seemed to literally absorb the information into her brain. At ten years of age, she dropped out of school and opted to remain home until she was of an age where she could get a job. But she never got that far.

 

When Colin started his college courses, Raelyn went with him. It nearly drove him mad that she could answer the questions immediately after they were asked when he struggled, but in return for his allowing her to follow him around, she helped him study. When he went into his residency, she took to staying home, but when he finally quit his job, she rejoined him in traveling.

 

Though she agrees it was for the best that they ended Colin’s previous contract when they did, Raelyn hates Bryndar and is actively trying to find transportation offworld.

 

How you were recruited: Raelyn’s part of a package deal. You can’t have Colin without her.

 

 

 

Relationship requests: The siblings are superficially friendly. They’ll talk about nearly anything and they’re very opinionated... but if you ask them anything about themselves, their responses are so superficial it’s like running into a brick wall.

 

 

 

Timeline:

 

35 BBY - Colin is born on Coruscant

30 BBY - Raelyn is born on Corellia

25 BBY - Raelyn is a genius and is enrolled in advanced education classes, which are also far beneath her intelligence level

19 BBY - Raelyn is bored of school and drops out. She reads books instead.

18 BBY - Colin graduates from high school and enters college. Raelyn tags along.

12 BBY - Colin graduates med school with honors. He gets a job and Raelyn takes to staying home.

10 BBY - Colin resigns and signs on as a ship's medic. Raelyn joins him.

9 BBY - With prompting from Raelyn, Colin ends his contract with the ship early, on Bryndar. He and Raelyn begin to look for passage offworld.

[ForceFightWMe12]

I'll make one final post here. FFWM, Ali's the pilot, not headhunter pilot... headhunter pilot's Kuun Lan (played by Rexraptor).

 

Oh, don't worry, I know :3

[starmark2k]

So we should work out how and why the new people are going join.

 

Writer and my wild have worked out that Raelyn is going to give Alec a direction for the group to go on but will act like she knows more of where the Jedi is than she actually does and her brother will tag along. During the course of the hunt Stitcher will get killed and Alec will offer the Medic job to Colin.

 

For FFWM12 I suggest as the crew will need a some form of non-repulsorlift transport Elizabeth will supply one. Being a thief I’m sure she can commandeer one and offer Alec use of it in exchange for transport off the planet. Anyway Headshot gets killed and Ellie gets given the job has head hunter pilot.

 

Corinthian is a bit more difficult and the only way I can see for the two to cross paths is that He collapses in the snow or something and is found by Alec. Alec not being a cold hearted B****** will get Colin and Stitch to patch him up and they’ll bring him along for the hunt. At the end Aly is still intent on leaving so Kadis gets the job.

 

If you guys want something different just say and I’ll try to work that in.

[Rogue Nine]

Woo, Mercenary Crew Wiki! Feel free to edit to your heart's content. All I ask is that you keep stuff orderly. :3

[Corinthian]

Cool. Thanks, Rogue.

[Writer]

Damn, that's awesome... a whole new toy box for us to play with

[starmark2k]

K all we are virtually at the end of this story, so there’s this final fight and then I’ll do a post that will essentially sum up Alec asking the two newcomers to join the crew.

 

Then as I’m sure you’ve all guessed I intend to do this as a series like with the AotE Mercenary Crew. Now the only fair way to do this is we each do a story in the order you all joined, now I make out the order to be…

 

JasraLantill

Quist

Rogue Nine

ForceFightWMe12

Corinthian

Writer

 

If you don’t want to do one or be pushed down the list let me know before it gets to your story.

So unless she decides she doesn’t want to do one it is JasraLantill’s turn once this is over.

[starmark2k]

Ok peeps we’ve ended the first part of the bounty hunter Saga so now it’s up to Jasra Lantill to come up with a second chapter to our hopefully long living story.

 

Mine was left on a semi-cliff hanger on purpose and all will be revealed early in Jasrs’s tale for Mercenary Crew: Bounty Hunters.

[JasraLantill]

Ok! The new episode of Bounty Hunters has started.

 

Jewels of the Core

[starmark2k]

K guys so as i've stated in the RP Son'ti the Jedi is inside Alec's head and is thereto stay sohere is her Character sheet.

 

Position: N/A (Inside Alec Tanis’ Head)

Name: Son’Ti

Nickname:

Species: Zabrak

Sex: Female

Age: 26 (at time of death)

Alignment: Light

Appearance: Son’Ti

Bio:

Like most Jedi she was taken by the Jedi at infancy and began training in the ways of the force under the ever watchful eyes of Master Yoda and the other masters. The masters found her to be more in-tune with the living force than many other Jedi including those Older and wiser than her, to the extent she could see the future with a surprising clarity and accuracy. She was placed with others who had similar gifts to her and was trained to be a Seer of the Jedi Order.

 

On the day a Jedi was to take her as a Padawan she had been chosen by Kaztra Set, a Jedi with a reputation for being flexible with the rules of the Jedi. Although the Council had reservations over this union they allowed it to go ahead and Kaztra taught his Padawan in the ways of the force that had to be learnt outside the walls of the temples.

 

Kaztra and Son’Ti were separated at the beginning of the clone wars as it was decided that Sets knack for bending the rules would be useful in the secret operations that had to be undertaken. With her master away from her Son’Ti was also but to work on the War effort by using her skills as a Seer.

 

Before the war Ended Son’Ti had a vision that she was to help in something of great importance and took a Republic vessel to find her master. Unfortunately the trip was interrupted when order 66 was initiated, she managed to survive the encounter but crashed on the isolated planet of Bryndar where she chose to hide until she was needed.

[Black Knight of Keno]

Got room for another RPer? And if so, what kind of a character type are you lacking?

 

I don't do split personalities tho'. I'll leave that to Writer

[Corinthian]

Sorry, there are a limited number of slots and they were all filled some time ago.

[Rogue Nine]

Um, that's starmark's call, Corinthian. Not yours.

[Corinthian]

You know, I am surprisingly aware of how this works. I draw above conclusion by the rather apparent character limit - all roles are, at present, quite filled and everyone is posting. I was unaware that making the RPG maker's life easier by simply reiterating what is rather clear in the first post was somehow a problem.

[Black Knight of Keno]

I am quite aware there seems to be a character limit in all of the DTC RPs and I am aware it's for a reason but there is no harm to ask if you can fit in another RPer who wishes to join.

 

Now, I see a pattern forming here. So Corinthian, if you have something personal beef with me, do take it to the PMs, but it's useless to troll or spam because of it. And yes, I am aware your posts this far haven't been either, but I know from experience that it can easily turn into just that, no matter who the other person is.
