[OOC] The Marauders (A new Adventure)

[ShiningSector]

Post is finally up. Please let me know if I need to correct anything - I just got done very late over here.

[ASplashOfMusic]

Here's my CS. I'm so sorry! I have no excuse. I don't know much about the Committee so his bio may have some errors. Also, do they have hair? Not just Yhei, but other races as well. Because extraterrestrial beings in movies aren't shown to have any.

Asfynne

Name: Asfynne
Age: 67
Race: Yhei
Appearance: He is fairly skinny, but still buffer than the average Yhei due to his experiences flying around and occasionally fighting people. He has the usual six fingers on each hand, large head, and reptilian eyes. He has some scars on his face and arms, with a rather large burn on the side of his head, but his major scars were on his torso. They were long though not very deep but as they weren't fully treated, it scarred badly.
Faction: Marauder
Role in Team?: Navigator and Communications
Bio: He has been a curious soul ever since he was a kid. But unlike his other fellow Yheis, he had an open mind about the other planets. He had read about the other planets in his studies and found them fascinating as they all sounded very different from Planet Muck (even if they put more light to their own planet). When he saw some travellers land on their planet, he decided he wanted to be like them too.

So when he could, he started to make preparations and plans on fulfilling his dream, making maps, learning how to pilot, buying a spaceship, fighting, and many others. He already had some people who were ready to go with him as well. His family didn’t forbid him from doing this but he could see they didn’t really agree with his dream. Though what could they do to stop him when he was so set about it? They were fairly well-off, and he has been saving up for years for this. His savings combined with the money he is earning right now was soon enough for him to buy the necessities.

And so he and his crew went off to different planets, learning what they can from the locals, and doing jobs here and there to sustain themselves. They even discovered a few unknown planets. He had picked up a few languages, which he tried to expand and hone further as he knew this would be useful knowledge to have.

However, on one of their trips, they were attacked and captured by bandits. They tortured them and did unspeakable things that scarred Asfynne and his other crew. When they tried to escape, things went wrong and only Asfynne and few others were left alive. From his capture, he just broke and went in a complete rage, managing to grab a weapon and killing them all. He sustained many injuries afterwards, it was a miracle he was still alive. As he ran out of the building, he went unconscious. When he woke up, he was in a prison, chained the walls. His wounds had been treated, but not all of them. Turns out, he killed some pretty influential people, or at least their relatives, and also some innocents in his rage. His companions died as well. Due to this, he will be sent to prison with death sentence in a few weeks. His being a Yhei didn’t help his case.

Few days before his death sentence, he was given the choice to either join the Marauders or die, and he chose to join in the Marauders.

Personality: He was naturally curious about things unknown to him. He liked to explore around and be active himself. He was also deeply loyal to those people who had earned his trust, his crew mates for example. He would lay his life for them if he had to. After all, he had been their leader for many years. He wasn’t the typical leader type, but he would rise up to do so if he had to. He wasn’t a reckless person and would always calculate his decisions before doing anything. He was the type to have a back-up plan, but knows how to be flexible in case of anything happens. Despite that, he was a cheerful and optimistic person who believed things will happen if they will it to do so.

That changed after his capture. He still has those most of those traits, but they were now buried under slight insanity. He still has his mental faculties, it’s just that if he is triggered and pushed enough, his personality can turn around completely. He becomes cruel and merciless as he gives in to insanity. He is also more reckless now than before.
Weapon(s) : optional
Star-fighter?: None

Just got a break from work and from dealing with the rollercoaster that was the last couple days, and I have to say that your guys' posts are a thrill to read! I'm gonna play catchup with some messages and things like that before I get a post up, but I promise it won't be a long wait haha

@ASplashOfMusic

It looks like a good CS to me, and it's no problem! I approve, and hopefully the other GM's do too!

And as for the hair thing, I didn't imagine the Yhei to have any hair... I pictured them as giant frog looking people XD but the Tu'Veeri has hair and facial hair, and the Furtim are covered in fur, hope that helps :)

[Hawlin]

If people are waiting on content to reply to, I can just add another post, tomorrow.
Figured people would like to introduce themselves, and I didn't want to throw the situation into the deep end right off the bat.

Idk

[Dr Catfish]

I'm waiting for some more action, some time to pass or something. Can't do much until then so, yeah.

[agentmanatee]

I'll post up tonight or tomorrow

[Jones Sparrow]

I'll also get a post up tomorrow to get things rolling! Like Hawlin, wanted everyone to try and post before we dive in, but I feel like if we got a little bit more it'll open some stuff up for others to enter!

[Mistress Dizzy]

Achieng isn't a combatant, though. I can't see her going towards a battle on purpose.

[Hawlin]

Yeeah, there was probably a bit more thought that I could've put into the scene.
With the stagnantion and how everything started, there wasn't much that could be done for non-combatant characters...and there may not be for another round.

The plan kinda fell through in ways I should have seen coming, but after being violently ill off and on for the last week, I just wanted to get something up because of the hype train.
Still, it's these kinda of errors that I feel will end up stealing the wind from my own sails for the bits I had planned. It was never my intention to start the thread here, and all it's really done is a disservice to people who've been patient only to again be left waiting.

The promise of another post, today, doesn't really solve the main problem. Sure, it may stall things for a bit at the cost of more loveless work for little result, but I wouldn't want to pressure people into posting in this situation.

@Jones Sparrow@Akayaofthemoon
I would very much appreciate any help I could get.
Edit: I may have ideas, but I'd like input. Message sent.

[Jones Sparrow]

@Hawlin

I'll look at it during my lunch break, and we will figure out a way to get everyone moving :)

[Akayaofthemoon]

I have been a little stuck on what to write and busy with trying to set up a move in real life. I will try to get something up tonight and help out with ideas when I can.

[boomlover]

im waiting for the battle to continue. so when i make my way over to the bridge i can fuck shit up and get out better.

[Hawlin]

I guess the post was requested to sit on hold for a bit. Jones has something in mind.
>_>

EDIT: Stand by for more standing by...
<_>

[agentmanatee]

Postponed until tomorrow. Got called into work today unexpectedly and am quite tired

[Jones Sparrow]

Gonna have my post up super soon, just gonna say that it'll involve a lot of shooting, praying, and craziness in a sense XD

If anyone's stuck, and needs help with finding a place to start, just let one of the GM's know so we can try and find a way to get you into the action :D

EDIT: Also, I didn't really mention this in the OP, but Tango is an NPC that can be played by everyone, since he can be literally everywhere at once, so if you need to use him, be my guest!

[agentmanatee]

>'combat won't be a major component of what the Monroe does'
>first scene is super crazy space combat

I feel betrayed (;_;)

BUT nah lol. I'll have Laz doing... something in a few hours
