@AdvancedJ3lly

I just realized that I'm on my school wi-fi that blocks like everything, so that was the problem. Life can carry on.

Fun Fact: When I started writing wi-fi I accidentally started typing "waifu", so that's fantastic.

Nope, felt they'd be a little out of place in this RP.

@Heat

As a proud Volus, I think you Earth Clan are racist towards my kind.

JK have fun with this I'll be leaving then

Species: Turian

Gender: Male



Occupation: Freelance Bounty Hunter

Class: Sentinel

Powers:
Lift Grenade
Throw
Overload
Warp
Cryo Blast
Tech Armor

Weapons:
M-3 Predator
M-9 Tempest

Armor/Apparel:
Medium Thermal Armor

How It Looks

Black and Grey Turian Casual Wear

Equipment:
Nexus VI Omni-Tool

Personality:
Tervius usually tries to keep things friendly, despite the kind of work he does. He just figures that the galaxy has enough negativity as it is, and he doesn't need to add to it. He's very fidgety when he's not on a mission. He has to be doing something on his omni-tool or occupying himself in some way.

He has a great love for Earth music no matter the language. He finds human voices very pleasing, and listens to acoustic or shoegaze songs to relax, which reveals another part of Tervius's personality--his patience. He prefers to take things slow, talk things out, and never rush things unless necessary. His bounties go well because he plans things out and knows what he's doing, even if he might get a little overconfident at times.

Bio:
Tervius barely knew his birth parents. They were killed in a raid on a civilian ship when he was only 5 months old. He had been left with a family friend, but they were unable to take him in as they already had two kids of their own. Eventually he was adopted by two women--a human and a turian like himself. They raised him to be morally sound, but his laissez faire attitude was something they knew would take him somewhere dangerous. The only way to avoid getting swept up in violence in the galaxy is to actively avoid it. They're aware of his work and constantly fret, but he reassures them with calls to their homeworld of Oma Ker every night.

Tervius started training his biotic talents with a teacher on Oma Ker at the age of 15. They came naturally to him, so he didn't have that much trouble becoming adept at them--the old turian who taught him would always be amazed by how well he caught on. Tervius left home at 19 and started out trying to make a slightly honest living, but reality sunk in and he started doing bounties at 20. He's done it for 16 years now and doesn't see himself stopping any time soon. Recently he's been hanging around Omega for work, as a lot of targets come through there. People are starting to know his name, so it doesn't surprise him when he gets the message about job offers. He just hopes it pays well.

Name - Davo'Sallar Nar Forrym Vas Nedas, "Query 31"
Age - 28
Species - Quarian
Gender - Male
Appearance - Davo is tall and burly for a Quarian, though this still makes him a little short and slender by human standards; he stands at about 6" tall and weighing a little under 200 lbs. Outside of a clean room he's never seen without his black exo-suit, which acts as armour and keeps him safe from the various pathogens in the world, especially with Omega's poor environmental scrubbing systems. Under the suit he keeps his black hair trimmed short and his skin is pockmarked with visible cybernetic implants. His eyes are milky white and there is a burn scar on his right cheek.
Occupation - Drug cook/dealer
Class - Sentinel
Powers - Neural Shock, Sabotage, AI Hacking, Throw, Lift, First Aid
Weapons - M4 Shuriken SMG, M5 Carnifex Heavy Pistol w/Sabot Jacketing mod
Armor/Apparel - Colossus VII Light Armour
Equipment - Logic Arrest VI Omni-tool, Gemini VI Bio-Amp, Medi-gel
Personality - Davo is used to spending long periods of time alone and is generally very self-sufficient. He's picked up a lot of skills along the way, making him quite a jack of all trades. He tolerates other people for about as long as it takes for him to get what he needs from them and rarely any longer. He's quite a misanthrope, which might be a natural consequence of having spent so long working in the Omega underworld and seeing the very worst the diverse and varied species of the galaxy have to offer. Like many Quarians, he much prefers the company on machines.

He is probably somewhere on the Asperger's spectrum, or at least the Quarian equivalent of it, due to his unusual neurology. He has a hard time reading facial expressions or picking up on social niceties. His voice is flat, almost monotonous and his emotions rarely come across quite properly. He also has some problems with impulse control and obsessive compulsions, leading him to "fix" things that don't need it or break things when he gets upset. On the other hand it also means that when he's on something, it gets done and he's very unlikely to get distracted.
Bio - Quarian biotics are rare, due largely to their social practice of keeping their suits on even aboard their ships. Davo's birth ship, the Forrym, experienced a problem with it's eezo core that spread the hazardous element throughout the ventilation system and forcing the ship to be evacuated until it could be contained. During this time, his parents were in the ship's clean room - without their protective suits on - and were exposed, causing the young Davo to be conceived with eezo clusters in his nervous system. As he grew, it became increasingly apparent that he was different from other children, not just because of his biotic talents but because of mental and social problems. He was smart but had a hard time learning in traditional educational systems; he would often get into fights by mis-reading social cues. Soon he learned to just keep away from the other children and pursue whatever interested him - a hazardous decision in a culture like the Quarians, where all things must be done for The Fleet. His parents began to talk him around to working in biochemical or healthcare research, something of benefit to the Fleet but that wouldn't necessarily force him to face-to-face encounters too much.

During his Pilgrimage, when he was supposed to bring back something of benefit to the Quarian Fleet, Davo arrived at Omega and began looking for things to bring home. Salvage, business, data or anything that work. This was when he came to the attention of Larrak, a Batarian gangster, who saw a rare talent and decided to take advantage. Davo enjoyed chemistry and Larrak had clients who also enjoyed chemistry, or at least injecting it. This began a prosperous relationship for both parties, with Davo producing high-quality street narcotics for a fraction of the traditional cost. Larrak flooded Omega with cheap, readily available drugs which earned him a lot of money and even more enemies. When Larrak was killed, Davo decided to take his recipes and his lab back to the Forrym. He was met with disgrace and honestly couldn't understand why the Admiralty had an issue with the economic boost he was saying the drug trade would bring to the Fleet.He was exiled, the ultimate punishment for a Quarian. He was named "nar Forrym vas Nedas" - "born on Forrym, crew of no ship" - to show his exile status and ordered never to return to the Fleet.

Davo felt lost and rootless, eventually deciding to return to Omega and his life in the underworld there. Under the "pen name" of Query 31, he worked to restore a small but sturdy crime network distributing his chemical creations, most notably a drug called Free Will. It works to promote neurotransmitters, promoting reflex speed, dulling pain and creating an artificial feeling of confidence; they feel like they have ultimate control, that they can accomplish anything. This has earned Free Will a small recreational user base but a larger and more loyal user base among mercenaries, street thugs and other combat types - especially nervous first-timers. It's not a party drug and it won't make him rich, but it's also not going to earn him any hate from the other vice operators in the area either. Through one of his dealers, word reached Davo that someone was looking to employ Query 31; he accepted the job offer.

@Leodiensian

I feel like if he had created a successful and used drug then he would've ended up 'encountering' one of the major gangs, or Aria's thugs would've gotten involved.

[AdvancedJ3lly]

A Krogan and a Quarian that are master biotics and an Asari that can't use biotics.

I feel like we are doing something wrong..... :P

[Leodiensian]

Well, he did; that's why Larrak died. The idea I had is that Davo's still pretty small-time, not realy a criminal mastermind and doing it more as like a hobby than a full-time business because he just enjoys the chemistry (a little like Walter White in the early seasons) Even then he's mostly the guy in the back room cooking more than the "face" of the operation. Previously the face was Larrak, but he died a year or so ago when a larger organization moved in on his vice market. Free Will is a new drug which will never sell super-well - it's not got a strong enough to be a good "party drug", it's not very addictive and it's main selling point is the "I can do anything" feeling that mean mostly it's taken to get over fear or anxiety. Kind of a niche market. Like, it's closer to Ritalin than cocaine. And anyway, I figured this job offer would be him getting attention from one of the bigger fish.

@AdvancedJ3lly: Davo's a sentinel, not an adept. And Wrex could use biotics, that's what Krogan battlemasters are. As for the Asari who can't use biotics, all asari can, it's just not all of them are skilled or power enough for it to be combat-relevant.

[AdvancedJ3lly]

I know, I just was making an observation. I purposely made my character with underdeveloped biotics to give her a reason to be a merc, as asari are required to have developed biotics to enlist in the military.

@Leodiensian

Alright, he's accepted then. Post over to the characters tab, please.

[Heat]

I'll leave it open to two more people. Once they have joined then I'll get the IC up. If they don't join by friday then I'll have it up that day.

[DaltonSezHi]

Can Davo have a younger partner that calls him bitch all the time?

[Leodiensian]

Maybe that's his helper VI.

[Heat]

IC shall be up tommorow. We will be accepting up to two more characters for a little while afterwards.

[RavenxVoid]

So I can still join? If so I'd like to reserve a spot
