...to blow crap up...

I'm having a bit of a problem: I can't decide between two characters. Both of them are boarding party (obviously), and they are both made to be demolitions experts, though how they work is a bit different. I would like peoples opinions on which one they want to see more, please.

1) An Alori Explosives expert, a monkey Alori specifically, named Montgomery "Monty" Kong. He is essentially a slightly insane explosives expert who weilds a grenade launcher and a bizarre array of explosives, often themed around banana and monkey puns.

2) A female human cyborg who is based around Magnetism, a cross between demolitionist and front-line tank who would be about defending allies and controlling the battlefield. Her personality is somewhat withdrawn, logical and naive.

Personally, I think the crews getting to the size that the surgeon may need an assistant. I'm assuming there are npc crew as well.

@The Jest I just might play them both, we'll see... x.x

I am curious about why you prefer the second one, though.

When is the ic coming up?

Don't mean to sound pushy.

@The Jest@Windstormugly I hope that this is ok, sorry about the wait.

Reina [+]

Appearance (Unarmored) [+]

Appearance (Armored) [+]

Name: Combat Prototype X-03 "Reina"

Race: Human-Like Android

Age: 6, appears to be in her lower 20s

Gender: Female

Job: Boarder

Weapons: The Environment

Abilities: Ferromancy - Metal Manipulation. Reina was built for the purpose of being on the front lines of ship battles, and as such has the power to manipulate and control metal in her vicinity in a manner similar to telekinesis.
Android Physiology - As an Android, she doesn't have any of the needs of the flesh, and is stronger, faster and tougher than most people.
Cyber Brain - Her brain, such as it is, is distributed throughout her body, with the primary node being in a heavily armored shell in her torso. This also means that new skill, knowledge and the like can be uploaded into her brain if desired.
Sensor Platform - Her head area is equipped with a high-tech sensor platform, including all of the common sensor types, as well as some more exotic types. Commonly used modes are Zoom, IR, Nightvision, and X-Ray.

Personality: Being a being whose origin is simple ones and zeros at its base, she doesn't entirely understand human emotions or reasoning, but she makes her best efforts. However, her creators did try to program in emotions, with mixed success, and deep learning, with far greater success, she can learn. Currently, however, she is straightforwards and blunt, saying exactly what she means, with little thought of her words effect on others, caused by not knowing those effects. When people try to get her to do something, it isn't the hardest thing to convince her, as she is still struggling to grasp the concept of lying in practice, and as such believes people unless they show obvious signs, or she has the time to measure vitals to detect that way. During battle she is coldly logical, and seems to think nothing of using any method to win, including things like dismembering or crushing opponents with her powers, and likewise shows no visible signs of remorse.

Short bio: Reina was created as part of an experiment designed to test the effects of human emotions, experiences, and learning on a combat android, designed by Dr. Anette Tekardo, an ex-military Scientist who ran with her research when the Empire ordered her to shut the project down. The Mafia were quick to capitalize on this, taking Dr. Tekardo and her research in and providing her with facilities to complete her work, with the provision that they receive the benefits from this research. Being desperate, Dr. Tekardo agreed, and started work on my siblings and myself.

Upon completion and awakening, I was introduced to my new owners, the Santobello Family of the New Lancelot Mafia. My life was pure, if you can call it that, for half a year after I was turned on, as I was trained and put through rigorous tests, and as my personality formed they fitted me with weaponry that they felt suited my best. My mother, Dr. Tekardo, installed the system herself, insisting that she was the one who knew me best, inside and out. After that, my existence was a blood-soaked one. The tamest assignments were guarding the family and acting as a household servant, ready to jump into action to save their lives should assassins come calling. On the other side of the spectrum were the mass killings, the brutal murders of entire families or clans in the brutal, shadowy wars for control of the criminal underground of the Empires greatest shipping hub.

Over the years of my life that followed, I learned more and more about the world around me, as well as that thing I have which my mother call my personality... and maybe even a soul, I heard my mother mutter to herself when she thinks that we are not listening, or not around. Eventually, however, the Santobello Family got to strong, and the Empire finally took notice of them after they sent two of my siblings to murder the Planetary Governor of Lancelot Prime and his entire family, and decided to crush them. Me and my siblings, as well as the Santobello's other hired help, fought hard for the family, but we were one by one captured or killed. As I watched my life's purpose crumble around me, and my digital mind start to fray, my mother whispered... something into my ear and told me to run to a certain place at a certain time. So, I hijacked a Lancelot ship and I made for Lancelot Prime. And as I flew, dodging laser-fire of friend and foe alike, I felt a new purpose ignite itself within me. Learn, Grow, and Explore.

New Lancelot Mafia [+]

NLM Santobello Assault Carrier [+]

The New Lancelot Mafia is a Mafia group lead by the Santobello family, with other groups and families as subsidiaries. They are base out of the NLM Santobello, an Assault Carrier that is primarily kept within the Kuiper Cloud at the edge of the system, in a legal grey area where they technically aren't not allowed to exist, as well as various bases and hideouts on moons and asteroids all over the system. The family's primary concerns are a large variety of crime, the more profitable the better, and at the peak of their power, they could go anywhere in the system and were nearly untouchable by The Law, because they had The Laws human leaders in their pocket through blackmail, bribes and threats. However, that all changed when a rogue faction of the family tried to get the planetary governor of Lancelot Prime assassinated, and failed. This triggered a military responce, a campaign so quick and brutal that the NLMs fortified and heavily defended base, the Santobello and its accompanying fleet, was wiped out in a mere three hours.
