| − | === Lieutenant Rickard (Drifter) === | + | === Highway, Thomas – Lieutenant Colonel === |

| | | | |
| − | ''Skills:'' Liaison-3, Recruiting-1, Carousing-1, Gambling-1, Bribery-1, Navigation-3, Computer-1, Vacc Suit-1, Zero-G-1, Admin-1, Blade Combat-1 (Light Blades), Gun Combat-2 (Lasers-1, Handguns-1)
| + | <code>Human/M UPP 99C9B6 Age 37 |
| | | | |
| − | ''Notable Possessions:'' Cr5,000 in savings, one low passage ticket. Spiffy dress uniform and a few phone numbers.
| + | Skills: Auto Pistol-1, Battle Dress-1, Brawling-1, Combat Rifleman-2, Demolitions-1, Grav Vehicle-1, Grenade Launcher-1, Instruction-1, Intrusion-2, Leadership-2, Linguistics-1, Mechanic-1, Reconnaissance-2, Survival-2, Tactics-1 |
| | | | |
| − | ''Background:'' Rickard was born on Karin, in Five Sisters, a world divided and under Imperial Law. Formerly a balkanized world with a weak central union—the result of different colonizing groups landing on each of the five continents—politics and ideology meant a lot on Karin. When the two largest nations began a war that threatened to go global, the faltering Union requested Imperial intervention. Since then, forty-two years ago, the Imperium has been "peacekeeping" for the Union. Today's politics swings between pro-Imperial Unionists and anti-Imperial Nationalists.
| + | Qualifications: Air/Raft License; Battlesuit Stud; Combat Rifleman Badge; Hostile Environments; Ranger Pin; Special Forces Beret. |
| | | | |
| − | Rickard grew up in and around the starport, his father a retired Marine officer, his mother a politician for the Vilani-settled nation of Likuurgin. His early life made him a pro-Union political activist, and he became a capable speaker and organizer. His vision of the Imperium as a grand unifying force made him determined to serve and make a difference and so (to his father's pride and disappointment) he enlisted in the Navy.
| + | Major Possessions: Cr7,000. Battle rifle; pistol; grenades; combat armor.</code> |
| | | | |
| − | The Navy became his life. For his first tour, he was locally based, and kept up ties with family and friends, but the next twelve years would take him away from the subsector, into long range patrols. | + | A much-decorated officer in the Imperial Marine Commandos. The quietly competent, Clint Eastwood type – no social flower, but quick-thinking and hard-hitting in battle. ([[Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Highway]]) |
| | | | |
| − | Early on, he had been a popular petty officer, with a knack of sorting out problems so that everyone got some of what they wanted. This was noted; promotions followed.
| + | === Lightfoot, Ishugi Gevin – Count Doctor Traveller === |
| | + | ''Played by Tom McCambley.'' |
| | | | |
| − | It came as a terrible shock when he received news of his parents' deaths in a bombing incident. To block his grief with distance, he signed up for a double stretch, and has never returned to his homeworld.
| + | <code>Human/M UPP 685AAE Age 38 |
| | | | |
| − | He became a solid Navy Man, his natural ease with different people and situations translating into a lot of liaison work—including a tour with the Marines, trained as a Navy specialist for deep space boarding actions. The Navy tagged him for officer school after a strike mission on Vargr raiders, and he emerged into the teeth of the Fifth Frontier War.
| + | Skills: Admin-2, Biochemistry-2, Computer-1, Electronics-1, Fleet Tactics-1, Ground Tactics-1, Laser Pistol-1, Leadership-1, Mechanic-1, Medical-4, Persuasion-1, Pilot-1, Robot Ops-1, Ship Tactics-2, Vacc Suit-1 |
| | | | |
| − | After the battles of the Sword Worlds, Rick was worn out. To his mind, he'd seen enough, done enough to pay back the Imperium. The toll showed on him—he'd burned muscle over the years, and only a solid regimen of exercises had kept his health from deteriorating. He bummed around for his last year, avoiding doing anything as much as possible, and resigned his active commission on his 34th birthday. He stayed on for a final hitch extension because they couldn't replace him, and he didn't argue—he wanted time to think.
| + | Qualifications: Bridge Officer Papers; EVA; Medical Doctor; Medical Technician; Rescue Operations. |
| | | | |
| − | Those he'd served with before have noticed how withdrawn and contemplative he's become in these past months. Truth be told, the thought of leaving the Navy scares the hell out of him, even though he knows it's time… he's always ''belonged'' to something, and going out alone freaks him out a little.
| + | Major Possessions: Cr40,000; 2 High Passages. Laser pistol. Medical kit.</code> |
| | | | |
| − | So when his ship got brought into these events, he knew he had to do ''something.'' Especially when it was his astrogation calculations which caused the misJump. (Intellectually, he understands that the Jump was an unpredictable gamble, but personally he feels guilty.) And so he's found himself outside the ship, among mad women and nobleman…
| + | A dedicated doctor, officer, and gentleman. A hero in the War, thanks to being in the right place at the right time, and is now a wanted man, due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He worries he's not up to the task, he knows he will do his best, and furious at those who would sacrifice innocent lives for self-serving conceits. His full list of titles is too long to print here, but includes Count of Tobia, Grand Admiral (retired), Knight Commander of the Grand Navy, Knight of the Iridum Throne, Medical Doctor, and Traveller.

| | | | |
| − | ''Notable Possessions:'' Cr30,000 or so, some in cash, most in the Scout Bank. Snub pistol, assault rifle. Picture of son. Nice and not-so-nice clothes.
| + | Qualifications: M.A. Military History; Ph.D Archaeology; Groundcraft License; Air/Raft License; Computer; Heavy Weapons; Combat Rifleman; First Aid. |
| | | | |
| − | ''Appearance:'' A cross between Jewel Strait's Kaylee, and Gretchen 'Redneck Woman' Wilson. Impractical long brown hair, a sharp chin, and gawky arms and legs; pretty when she makes the effort, but no sense of fashion.
| + | Major Possessions: Cr80,000. Snub rifle. Personal computer; multiscanner; backpack; magnetic compess; inertial locator; cold light lantern.</code> |
| | | | |
| − | ''Background:'' Sunrise had been born in the Glisten Belt, and raised indifferently. When she was sixteen, she had made the mistake of conceiving and carrying an unlicensed child; her son, Joshua, was taken from her by the state, and she was branded a delinquent.
| + | A brilliant but wild child who was straightened out by the Army, then entered academia. Now a research fellow in Archaeology at the University of Lunion with a serious mind and a sharp tongue, she was on the Wardn dig when the mercenaries attacked. Having learned the reasons behind these shocking events, she has pledged her aid to the others. |
| | | | |
| − | She tried to volunteer for the Scouts, but the black mark on her record stopped that… until a sympathetic recruiter had a word with the Draft board.
| + | === Sklar, Jonathan – Special Agent === |
| | + | ''Played by Skydigger.'' |
| | | | |
| − | She spent ten years in the service, saving what money she could between mandatory child support drafts. Her psych profile made her a perfect field scout, and she easily handled the alternation of x-boat duty and tender duty.
| + | <code>Human/M UPP 7B679F(7) Age 36 |
| | | | |
| − | A year ago, she'd been doing "traffic surveys" near the Sword Worlds border, and got captured. She was not a model POW, being a loud and opinionated pain in the ass, and earned a few bruises and some time "in the hole." Once free, scrubbed, and fed, she kept an eye out for likeable men, and sympathetic ear for women with similar experiences.
| + | Skills: Admin-1, Chemistry-1, Commo-1, Computer-3, Diplomacy-1, Forensics-2, Grav Craft-1, Ground Craft-2, Instruction-1, Language-1, Medical-1, Pistol-2, Recon-1, Research-2, Short Blade-1, Streetwise-1, Survival-1, Vacc Suit-1, Writing-2 |
| | | | |
| − | During the course of this trip, she's been consistently in the front line, whether or not she knows what she's doing, to the point where the doctors have been considering strapping her down and sedating her to let her injuries heal… but only if she stops being so goddamn helpful.
| + | Qualifications: Coroner; Forensic Detective; Combat Pistol; Computer; Driver's License; EVA. |

| | | | |
| − | === Olivia (ncc2010) ===
| + | Sklar began his career in the police of his backwater planet, and rose to the rank of Captain on his forensics and leadership ability. 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. |

| | | | |
| − | ''Appearance:'' 140cm, 32kg, appears to be a 10-year-old child. However, close inspection will reveal many scars, now healing, across her body.

| | + | Awareness-7, Clairvoyance-7, Telekinesis-7, Telepathy-7 |
| | | | |
| − | ''Background:'' Olivia is living proof and evidence as to why you should never give anagathics to children.
| + | Qualifications: EVA; Hover Pilot; Smallarms Badge; Space Pilot; Zero-Gravity Combat. |
| | | | |
| − | Born Olivia deHavilland, her parents—drug smugglers—had been using her as a drug mule for black-market anagathic drugs. Four of the eight containers hidden in her stomach ruptured, causing a near-lethal overdose. She was in treatment for a year. It came to pass that the massive overdose greatly retarded her physical growth; the incident was over twenty years ago, yet physically she has only aged ''two.''
| + | Major Possessions: Cr3,000. Vacc suit; wings. Auto carbine.</code> |
| | | | |
| − | She left the Imperial Orphanage on her own recognizance at 12 and headed out on her own, destined to make the Universe her own little oyster, or grab a pearl or two to call her own. (Her parents, to the best of her knowledge, are still in prison. )
| + | A valiant drop trooper and space pilot of the respected Drylminkon Kroyloss, who had been assisting the archaeological dig when it was attacked. 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! |
| − | | |
| − | Since then she's made quite a few cons—how many marks wouldn't trust a child?—and one big score when she was sixteen. On the downside, she's on her fifth ID, and thanking the gods for the war, because it wiped out enough records for her to make a clean break with the past. During the war, she'd done courier work and some cons, and spent some time in a Sword World internment center which she doesn't like to talk about. She was released, and now has a legitimate Imperial ID as a liberated orphan, given to her before she walked out of the Naval orphanage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She threw in with the party just to get the hell off of Biter, but has found herself staying for the camaraderie. They think she's a little nuts—she's done the child act for so long, that it often takes conscious effort to act her real age (except when she's making dirty jokes)—but they're crazy, too.

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. |

| + | [[Rickard Rand-Vilaal]] |
| | | | |
| − | A valiant drop trooper and space pilot of the respected Drylminkon Kroyloss, who had been assisting the archaeological dig when it was attacked. 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]]) |
| | | | |
| − | === Detective Jhon Minuur () ===
| + | '''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. |
| − | '''First Sergeant Jhon Minuur / Lysen / Humani / M / 39 / 874895 / Administrator, Expert Handgunner, Interrogator, Police Detective / Citation, 2x Wound Medals''' | |
| | | | |
| − | ''Skills:'' Streetwise-5, Interrogation-4, Handgun-3, Admin-3, Liaison-2, Computer-2, Medical-1, Legal-1, Wheeled-0, Vacc Suit-0 | + | '''"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. |
| | | | |
| − | ''Notable Possessions:'' Cr10,000 in the bank, and a Cr5,000 pension. Low passage. Sidearm. | + | '''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. |
| | | | |
| − | ''Background:'' Jhon had always struggled with poor health, but he never let that stop him. As a police officer, he was wounded in the line of duty twice, thus giving him a healthy caution about violence. His citation came from resolving a hostage situation that sprang from a drug bust gone bad. Later in his career, he worked behind a desk a lot, growing practiced in dealing with redtape and "political bullshit." He also served as a lead interrogator—which brought him into contact with political dissidents on his world. He came to realize that the law was crushing the people of his homeworld, he was a part of it, and he couldn't change the system. Finally, he took early retirement, and took a low passage as far as it would go. He ended up on Wardn, a quiet and relaxed world which paid experienced peace officers well. | + | '''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. |
| | | | |
| − | And then all this shit happened. Being somewhat experienced in offworld matters, he was tapped to represent Wardn to the Imperium.
| + | 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]]) |
| | | | |
| − | Old link is old: [[Detective_Sergeant_Jhon_Minuur]]
| + | The able crew of ''Dunk and Egg'', including [[Scout Vargas Delany]] and [[Scout Bram Olili]] (other former PCs, who dropped out), were last seen trying to escape the conspiracy on Biter, and may not have succeeded. We don't know. Highway's friend (and Lunionite conspirator) General Jago was in similar circumstances. |

| − | === 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). |
