+ | He always struggled with poor health (started with a 5) and he struggled to improve it (Had a few +Ends, but failed enough aging rolls) He never let that stop him. Being wounded in the line of duty twice, he has a healthy and cautious view of violence. He got the citation for resolving a hostage situation the sprang about form a drug bust gone bad. | ||

The law was crushing the people of his home world, and he was a part of it. Finally he had enough, knowing he couldn't change the system, retired, and used his low passage to go as far as he could, and ended up in Wardn. | ||

A few years ago, he was head-hunted by the Imperial Ministry of Justice, and is currently on assignment in the Spinward Marches. The party found him cooling his heels on Wardn, unable to reach his posting due to local interference; he's quickly lent his legal powers to their investigation. | ||

He eluded capture, and helped the humans to overthrow the guards and save the day. Now he once again finds himself battling boredom and the threats to his strange human cohorts. Elan, zeal, and inexplicable Droyne mental concepts are central to the inimitable Thpoitz! | ||

− | + | === Notable NPCs === | |
+ | '''Jeffrey Harkness''', a Naval Technician with tremendous talent, enthusiasm, and dedication – and problems dealing with authority. He's demonstrated a knack for improving equipment under strange conditions, and for seeking creative solutions to problems. He's been dating Sunrise Dawson, keeping the others awake at night. (Jeffrey was a PC, but the player has had to take some time off. He may become a PC again.) ([[Able Spacer Jeffrey Harkness]]) | ||
− | + | '''Bill Janesson''', Scout Captain of ''Nifty Mongoose.'' His crew includes Holby, a reclusive human female; MacDougall, an illegal sapient robot; and Ygrgrl, a Vegan navigator and xeno-expert. Bill is a competent Scout, slightly larcenous, sometimes over-cautious, a bit of a swinging xenophile, and has a frightening mustache. | |
− | ''' | ||
− | '' | + | '''"Hari Porter"''', the Zhodani spy, currently imprisoned on ''Nifty Mongoose.'' Looks like an unimpressive middle-aged bureaucrat. He claimed to be a head supply administrator, chosen at the last minute for a desperate ''ad hoc'' mission into Imperial space. He's displayed sufficient telepathic talent to hide himself from notice, but not enough to save him from capture. |
− | |||
− | '' | ||
− | '' | + | '''Mari Seldokova''', a Ministry of Justice agent posing as an Army Intelligence oficer. She lucked onto the conspiracy, and asked the party to help her nail the conspirators to the wall. She tries to affect the persona of the cold, calculating agent, but we've seen her acting more human lately. ''Might'' have a crush on Ishugi, but too professional to say anything about it. |
− | '' | + | '''Jzeri''', a Naval Petty Officer, recently released from the Zhodani POW camps. She's from some hick planet, where apparently she's either a warrior princess, or a backwoods farmer. Enthusiastic, but oft speaks she the Anglic tongue in a dialect archaic. |
− | He | + | Another former PC, '''Magellan Sabo''', was a smuggler/privateer trying to go straight, or at least avoid legal attention; he was a friend of Olivia, and was briefly employed by Seldokova. Friendly and tough. He got embroiled in the quest, and decided it didn't involve him, and was too dangerous anyway; he sneaked out once the ship hit Wardn. ([[Magellan Sabo]]) |

− | + | Currently, our heroes are dealing with the crew of the Imperial frigate ''Allemande'' (including the androgynous Second Officer Sang and the downcast outcast Droyne Technical Odrep), the scholars of the archaeological dig (including that old duffer Professor Hertz, and a bunch of excitable grad students), and the police of Wardn Center (including young Detective Lieutenant Mikhail, and the mysterious Comptroller-General). | |
