A Note On Technology

'Beam' weapons: These are perhaps the most common in the galaxy. They're different from lasers in that the medium for energy being transferred is a magnetically confined stream of super heated ionic gas particles as opposed to ionized photons. The gas used as fuel for beam weapons differs depending on the manufacturer but all of them use noble gases such as Argon and Xenon (The Black Dirk as well as most human manufacturers use Argon for their beam weapon systems). Beam sabers and pistols/rifles also exist and operate on the same basic principles.

FTL: Faster than light travel is achieved in a few different ways. The most common for large ships is the warp drive, which envelops the ship in a bubble separate from normal space (creating a 'subspace') and contracting/expanding the space behind and in front of the bubble in order to 'pull' the ship at incredible speeds without physically accelerating. This system is much too bulky to fit on most smaller commercial ships like freighters and transit vessels.

More common for commercial use is the jump gate system. The jump gates are a system of tunnels through warped space allowing for travel between two 'fixed' points at incredible speeds. Due to their economic and strategic importance any system with a jump gate is generally highly regulated and policed. Strict laws are usually in place to protect the gates as well.

Mobile Suits: The growing popularity of Mobile Suits is most prominent in the larger empires that have more credits and resources to pour into making complex war machines. Mobile Suits are generally expensive high precision machines that are typically resemble the race's physical form in shape. Their high maneuverability and varied weapon systems make them some of the most versatile and deadly war machines in the galaxy.

Unfortunately the complex systems and expensive resources necessary to build Mobile Suits makes them impractical for mass-production even by larger empires. As a result Mobile Suits are only ever granted to talented pilots and only operate in small groups.

Androids/Gynoids: Synthetic self-aware life-forms are not uncommon in the galaxy. Many lead normal lives along side they're organic counterparts. There are certain areas of the galaxy where synthetic life forms aren't recognized as being alive but they are few and far inbetween.

Kinda a tiny bit bitter about that, you know?

@Pyromania99

I'd appreciate if you'd stick to just one role.

This seems like quite a barrel O' fun.

@GodOfWar

By all means join the fun!

Edit: I should also note that the 'Rank' section of a CS is for those who earned a rank while serving with a militant organization and doesn't have to do with your role aboard The Black Dirk.

@Midori

Ah then I should note that Max was a Cell Lieutenant when she worked for The Arm. While not exactly a military organisation, they were a militant terrorist group, so I reckon that counts. I will edit my CS appropriately.

Comment: She has poor impulse control, and her social skills are not that great. She is considered to be somewhat psychopathic, by people who first met her, or know of her through rumors/infamy. She displays a very high level of spatial intelligence that aids her in everything from thieving, to drawing, to maneuvering vehicles at high speeds. And she can do advanced math in her head. She is extremely good at memorizing blueprints, schematics, maps, and the like.

She has lived all around the galaxy, but was born on Space Station Devlin of Plant Earth.

She is mostly human, her great great grandmother on her father side was of the Jurucian race, from planet Harberne. The small bit of Jurucian in her, makes her more flexible then average. Gives her the bright red hair, that otherwise would be unnatural for a human with her complexion. It makes her smell naturally floral. And she can breath carbon dioxide through her pores, like a typical Jurucian, but she also has a human respiratory system too, so she can breath Oxygen the regular way.

Cynthia has an older sister name Georgina Adeline Farrell aka Gin, who is 27. Gin is a well know bionic systems and body specialist. Ran a famous underground solar tattoo, body and medical mod shop on planet Biathlon aka Earth 2. Bionic, cybernetic, nano, and mechanical body modification, and surgical blah blah. She is the goto for illegal bio cybernetics, and A.I. mods. Bio Tech is her forte. Bionic eyes, and limbs, is her area of expertise. It was Gin's idea to join Lockheart's crew as a surgeon, and Cynthia decided to tag along and join the crew too.(would be totally into someone taking Gin and making her your own Character on the ship. PM if you want to brainstorm or for details on her.)

She liked to take credit for her big thefts, so she typically left a calling card. A small green pill capsule, inside it, is a rolled piece of paper with 'Farrell Sin' written in elegant script. Her fellow criminal friend Billy, thought up the play on Cynthia's name when they were kids. She stopped the calling card thing after, the bounties and being wanted in so many places thing started becoming a problem.

@Zetsuko Donovan is approved, welcome aboard the Black Dirk. You can go ahead and post your CS in the characters tab.

@DarkFeyMaxxine Nox is approved, welcome aboard the Black Dirk. You can go ahead and post your CS in the characters tab.

@vFearAredwas Loci is approved, welcome aboard the Black Dirk. You can go ahead and post your CS in the characters tab.

@EmmaI can appreciate the master theif vibe but she's only 25 and she's stolen practically every valuable item on the face of the Earth and some other planet as well? Not to mention the crimes she may or may not have committed? She may as well have just stolen the planet instead. I'm sorry but this character is much too mary sue for my taste. You'll have to tone her down before I can accept it.

EDIT: I'm surprised everyone decided to be human.

[DarkFey]

If she's a well known Thief then she's not a Master Thief. A true Master Thief is one that no one knows.

[WilsonTurner]

If she's a well known Thief then she's not a Master Thief. A true Master Thief is one that no one knows.

@DarkFey

Not entirely true- a true Master thief is either someone EVERYONE knows but no one can catch, or someone that is only known by an alias.

@Midori

I think I fixed it up a bit, I can try a scale down more if you'd like. Its hard to make a character come across how you want without explaining their personality or history. She is inspired mainly by Parker from the TV show Leverage.

[Aleranicus]

Full Name: Aliss Armana

Alias: "White King"

Rank: Freelance Cour'tesa

Occupation: Cour'tesa

Prior Service: Cour'tesa Guild, F.I.A. (Federation Intelligence Agency [under contract] ), Santeres Prime Household Guard (Under Contract)

Age: 76 Terran / 25 Govarri

Credentials:
- Love, remind me to tell you about the time I foiled no less than three assassination attempts against Overlord Corvanis of Santeres Prime by the Black Hand Syndicate. Their grenade landing right back in their vehicle's window was precious and one of my best moments!

- I was banished from Govarri's moon for protecting CEO Karshalal of the Diamond Industrial Bank- not because I failed, but because his rivals decided it would be cheaper to buy the bank after their assassins never made it back. Apparently they made the mistake of paying up front for services rendered.

- Remember that "Gas Leak" on the Luna Secundus Satellite Colony over Terra? Yeah, it turns out there had been an illegal AI developed by the Governor General to create a more efficient bureaucracy. An awakened computer took control of the colony and promptly began massacring the entire populace. I got the Governor out just as the Colony was blasted into the black by the Federation navy.

- Last month I performed emergency first aid on Captain Rojers Black of the freelance battleship Indomitable after he took multiple kinetic rounds to the sternum from partisans of Titan. Not to brag, but I likely saved Cpt. Rojer's life and prevented the outbreak of a Third Privateer War in the process.

Comment: The Cour'tesa among the Govarri are viewed as a combination of socialites, spies, and bodyguards for hire. Unfortunately, most of the galaxy assumes they are airheaded hookers rather than the cultured assistants and intelligence agents they are trained to be. This is largely due to mis-characterization by Federation media, and is (secretly) supported by the Cour'tesa Guild in a disinformation campaign. Cour'tesa receive rudimentary training in First Aid and weaponry, but no more than an average soldier in the Federation.

Usually hired by very paranoid planetary dictators around the Govarri system as increased security measures, or freelancing with other intelligence agencies or pirate operations, Cour'tesa are given free reign to work for any agency or government- even those that work against Govarri.

Aliss has worked as a bodyguard for ruthless dictators and idealistic heads of state. Cour'tesa can work as professional suit-and-tie Secret Service guards, or go so far as sleeping in the same bed as their charges to ensure their safety around the clock.

The Govarri have grown rich off of the Guild's services to the dozens of planetary dictators that surround their system, and the Guild ensures that this "wild west" of planets is kept in flux at all times, preventing local threats from escalating to endanger their planet and ensuring any move by the Federation to occupy the worlds would be costly in both blood and treasure.

Meh CS

Name:
Styx Yorkishire

Alias:
'White Rabbit'

Race:
Unknown

Rank:
Private (First Class)

Occupation:
Heavy weapons Specialist

Prior Service:
Engineer for human military
('Spent A good half of my life in that hell hole... Ba-humbug.')

Age:
10 (89 Rabbit Years)

Credentials:

• Ex-Military; Disbanded due to investigations on drug dealing activity within the army's ranks.
• Family Business; There are multitude of illegal drug operations working across the Milky Way under Styx's whim, 90% of them were started by Styx's now deceased mother and father. Yet, most of the cartels are starting to falter.
• Unbeknownst; minimal government files recording Styx other than his birth certificate and a few investigation journals.
• Murderer; 150-200 self-recorded civilian kills due to victim's interpersonal debts and 'bad first-impressions'. Over 3,000 if you count the assassinations carried out by his drug cartels.
• Inventor; Styx has created numerous patented contraptions, most noteably the 99XV automaton that he rides upon (due to his aging knees and bones), The Chimera (a fully steampowered rocket launcher), and his glasses (He believes he invented them, though it is true that he bought them from a merchant while under the influence.)

Comment:

• Styx has ultimately failed at his job as a drug lord. Government funded investigations have penetrated the small amount of vulnerable operations he has currently set up in the human army and society, causing the under belly of his corrupt monarchy to be exposed. As a final resort, Styx has hitched a ride on the Black Dirk in the hopes of rocketing way from whatever fatal drama he has created in his Family's business.
