OOC: how about a space bounty hunter SL? kind of like cowboy bebop...the scene will start on a rusted out space ship with about five crew members on one ship, and then if more people seem interested..we can add more ships to create conflict.

OOC: "description of character" Jesse - Tall, and lanky with sandy blonde hair, cut short. cunning green eyes that seemed spaced out most of the time. He is kind of a loner and spends alot of his time in the back of the ship tinkering around with things.





---------------------------------IC--------------------------------------

The ship was slowly floating around one of the distant galaxies and things were boring, no new cases for the crew of the small ship, money was running a bit low, and Jesse was becoming less and less sociable(sp?) with everyone else. Jesse was in the back of the ship tonight, working on his latest modification to his pistol. A LOUD curse could be heard throughout the ship as Jesse messed something up......
 
OOC:
Drax
Human
Male
4'8"
150 lbs.
24 years old
Medium-high intelligence
Brown hair, gray eyes
Description: Short, stocky, and somewhat muscular. He usually is covered in either dust or greae from some machine or another. His hair is usually wild, and he has a beard that wears long.

He owns his own ship, which is a small fighter type. He built it himself from scrap. His preferred method of combat is sneaking up on someone and planting a dagger in thier spine.

IC:
Drax rolled his eyes as he heard Jesse swear. He slid out from under his ship, Flayer, and went to see what Jesse had done this time. Probably he had been working on his gun again.

Drax went into the next room where Jesse was. "What is it this time?" He asked.
 
::jesse looked up, and shook his head:: I saw this modification that allows the gun to shoot bullets that blind the target, but I can't get the freakin thing to work. :: picking up a magazine, he tossed it to him:: page 34...I did everything according to the directions, but its still not working...

::jesse picked up the remote, and flipped on the TV over the in corner, flipping through a few channels slowly he stopped at the bounty hunter channel, and a very beautiful woman flashed on the screen, she was sitting at a desk, like an anchor man of a newscast::

"Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen, this just in, a Bounty has been put out for a man by the name of "Black Jack Bob", He was caught cheating millions of credits out of space casinos. He was last seen leaving the Vin'diel 9 space colony, and his price is 2,000,000 credits to the person who catches him."

::the TV was quickly turned off, and he spun around in his chair, and grinned to his friend:: "That colony isn't far from here..lets go and get him!
 
OOC: My character
Praetor
E'a'vlari
male????
5'4"
100lbs
age:unknown
appears insanely intelligent, but cannot grasp simple concepts sometimes
brown hair to shoulders blue eyes
Ship Position:...hey!!..what exactly does he do

The E'a'vlari are a strange race that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in the last few years. Most don't believe they exsist. They are bipedal with pale skin , slanted eyes which are otherwise normal. Slim tapering features, and are very attractive blending the best in masculine and feminine. Thus creating some confusion as to what gender any individual of the race is.
They sport a vast array of knowledge and skills, but can't seem to understand complicate machinery. This mystifies people, as the few tha have been found are on worlds and systems widely apart.
They all seem to have some apptitde for telepathy and are highly empathic creatures, seeming to gather friends where ever they go.
praetor serves as in the capacity of physician and science offcer aboard the cramped vessel. No one knows exactly why they let him aboard either.

IIC

a small intercom went off in the corner of the room
" Afternoon gentleman" the soothing light voice announced, " i was also watching the transmission from our "lab" ".
the lab being an old storage locker cleaned out and sanitized, no bigger than a mens washroom.
" i assume we'll being bringing this unlucky gambler to justice? And if so, I'll start bringing up anything we have on Vin'diel"
" anything else, you two...?"
 
"Yeah." Drax said. "Find a way to teach Jesse to read the insturctions before he starts working."

"What?" Praetor asked.

"Nevermind." Drax said, turning to Jesse. "The problem is that your gun is the wrong calibur. It's right there at the top of the page." He gestured toward th magazine.

"What about the bounty?" Jesse asked, still excited.

"Yeah yeah, I'm in." Drax said. "Lemme know when we get there." He turned and went back into the other room, sliding back under his ship.
 
OOC: this is going along well guys...lets keep it up


IC: ::Jesse looked a bit sheepish, and chuckled:: I guess I misplaced those. ::his quick fingers had in few moments later fixed the caliber of his weapon, and he set it down:: this will make things alot easier I hope.

::leaning over he pressed the button on the intercom on the nearby wall, and talked into the speaker:: find out everything you can on this "Black Jack Bob" guy, Preator. ::he grinnd, and leaned back in his chair, thinking what he will dow ith his share of the reward::
 
Praetor returned his attention back to the console before him.
He took a deep breath an allowed his mind to stretch. He could hear the hum of the engine, feel the undercurrent of excitement of the crew. Stretching a bit further he felt the cold outside of the hull .
His mind snapped back to 'reality". praetor could spend days in this fugue state if he chose to and often did. But the crew didnt really appreciatte a smiling happy zombie on board.
Praetors three fingered hands flew acroos the computer console, his mind not knowing where they landed. The 'dreaming" is what his people called. The abilty to understand, to know instinctively the universe around them.
the "dreaming quickly brought up a long scroll of names on his console.
" This may take a while..." he murmured under his breath.
Unless he consciously probed the group mind which were his people. But that might set off evey psyke ( psionic, psychic) in a dozen sectors. Praetor bit into his lip and di so.
the exact name on this sheet of aliases came to him in a flash. He quickly brought it up.
" encyption code needed?' he murmured at the screen, " Why does a gambler wanted on a dozen worlds need an encryption code?'
His link to the race-mind granted him access.
" oh dear..." praetor muttered at the screen"
he swivelled his chair to the intercom
" Drax, Jesse.... I think you might want to see this...i'm bringing it up on all onboard view screens"
 
the screen in his room flashed on while he was looking at a magazine, and he chuckled, "that was fast" Jesse said softly. "lets see what our friend has found for us." his green eyes shifted over the screen, and a small smile crossed his lips, as he leaned over to speak into the intercom, "try and find out where this guy is headed, and set a course for the last place he was seen, I want to get as much information as I can"
 
Any more characters welcome?

can i post a character in here?


Terrik Falog
age:???
Belongs to a race of Human Like beings with enhanced senses and strength
blonde
pupilless eyes completely white
tall,kinda thin
Is a highly trained security officer
 
OOC: sure thing...if you guys know any ladies that would like to join, please tell em...we need some sort of conflict or something soon
 
Falog

walks out onto the main deck.taken a quick glance at the other ocuupence of this vessal."How did i become in charge of security on THIS ship," i mumur to myself as i turn ro my station to complete my daily security check...

OOC:i hope you dont mind me working my way into the story as a member of your ship..
 
::Jesse poked his head out of his work room, and chuckled:: aww, you don't love us anymore? ::a slow grin crossed his lips, as he finished modifying his gun:: now...lets set a course to get that gambler
 
Falog

i made a grimace at his comment.It wasnt that i didnt like them,its just that i didnt get much of a intelectual conversation out of any of them.

Jesse was always making comments like that towards me because of my no nonsense attitude towards my position.

We were bounty hunters but at one time i was head security officer of the Kalbran.The Tesurin Battleship until i was disgraced and forced to take up this job.

"Jesse,you need to look at these readings and give them your approval," i said sternly...
 
::jesse rolled his eyes, and grinned:: what is this stuff? explain it in english man. :::he picked up the magazine near by and began to flip through it idly::
 
Praetor

The whispers at the back of his mind were telling Praetor that Jesse and Falog were having another round of a battle of wits. maybe they would escape an engorged conversation and get the tub moving.
All the while Praetor let his frontal mind slip through channels of probability as he hacked his way through Vindiel security. If asked how he broke in later, couldnt have replied. His people's gifts of knowledge was not a learned one but innate. To tell his companions just how he could know the things he did would merely bring on questions and attention from a universe which was simply not ready.
" Here we are..."
Jack "Black Bob" Roberts
Race: human
Gender: Male
height: 1.7 metric units
"big sucker" praetor mumbled

"VERY big sucker"

Eyes: black
" Hence Black Bob"

..in Praetors mind it seemed to go on forever. This person seemed guilty of every crime possible. no wait, no animal buggery.
" Small relief"
Reason for Stay: granted dispensation by Governor Tine Jefferson of Vin'diel.
Praetor raised his eyebrow in curiosity. Why would the governor of the colony grant an obvious psychopath a stay on his Colony.Praetor quickly went to bring up anything he could on Governor Tine jefferson. What he found was confusing to say the least.
Colony Engineer Report Sub-Comittee One: Governor Tine Jefferson's body found in sewage maintenance shaft. Investigation relayed to Vin'diel Colony Security.
Praetor leaned back from the console and sighed.
" So much for a midnight run..."
 
Drax

Drax disappeared back under his ship. After a few minutes, he heard Jesse and Falog talking about something. He knew from thier tones that the conversation would probably turn into an argument, as conversations with Falog seemed to have a way of doing.

He finished up the repairs from thier last bounty, a skinny little bastard with a wierd gun that had fried the Flayer's onbord computer, making him have to replace it entirely. That had been nearly two months ago, and tensions between the shipmates always ran high during long periods with no work.

He slid out from under the ship and climbed in the cockpit, starting it up and hoping he had gotten everything installed correctly.

The ship started with no porblem. Drax sighed under his breath and ran a diagnostic to see if there was anything he had missed. From the looks of it, no.

He put the panel he had been working under back on the ship and made a few touchups to the rest.

When he finished, he sat down in the Flayer's cockpit and closed his eyes, wanting to get some sleep before they got started on this mission. He knew the others would know to find him there.
 
Falog

I gave him a stern look."Take a look at this panel in my hand that says everything is alright on board,Is that plain enough english for you," i said growing impatient.I tossed it in his lap,turned and murmured something in my launguage,"Kaleek toobis," which plain stated means get bent,and headed back to my quarters to finish my reading...
