Glitch

Glitch was sitting in a less traversed part of the station scrolling through the list of jobs on the local net. He had come here from a shuttle that would return to a station he wasn’t exactly able to get back to, so for now he’d need a job here. Unfortunately, this wasn’t his ideal place. Assassinations, armed escorts, all things that didn’t require his particular set of skills. Finally, something came across he could do. A grab and bag, not something you could easily do without someone to take out the automated security systems. He gave a whistle when he saw the offer. 20,000 Hyksos Tongs! That was quite a payout. Though not many details were given, it was the best offer he had seen so far. He decided it wouldn’t hurt to check it out and headed for the hangar.

Once he arrived and laid eyes on the Sweet Anne his jaw dropped and his arms flopped to the side. ”You gotta be kidding me.” This hunk of junk was the ship? What did they sell the real ship to pay for the crew and this was the best substitute they had? This was either a complete hoax or the contractor was insane.

Still, if this was a serious offer it was the best job currently out there. With a deep sigh he pulled out his data pad and started looking up any and all information on a this model of corvette ships; at least he’d have an idea of what to expect as far as the on board computers. He got so caught up in it that not only did he miss the commotion with the mechanics, he ended up walking head first into a red hair women ”Oh crap! Sorry about that. Should watch where I’m going.”

As he apologized he realized she and the group she was talking to were standing in front of the Sweet Anne ”I take it this is the ‘Payday’ job? You guys got room for a tech?” he asked spinning his data pad in his hand as if it showed he had skill with it.

Just got off work. Post underway.

Expanding Universe-Season 1

Name: Aaron Floyd a.k.a. ‘Glitch’

Race: Human

Appearance:

Space/mission suit

To keep up with the increasing difficulty of each job, Aaron developed several pieces of equipment for various situations such as:
-Magnetic Boots: Allows wearer to cling to metal surfaces and walk freely on them. Ideal for walking on ship hulls.
-Plasma cutter: Arm mounted device that can cut through nearly all materials. Best used to get into walls that hide circuitry. Can also be an improvised melee weapon.
-Skeleton Key: A program designed to analyze, access, and decrypt any and all digital coding whether it be alien or advanced. Not recommended unless you have the time or don’t know the coding.

Assuming Control:

Sitting alone in a booth at a cafe on a rather bustling space station, Glitch sipped his dark caffeinated drink while browsing on his datapad. He wasn’t doing anything criminal at the time, just surfing the net while he waited for his next contract to come down the line. Occasionally glancing at the other patrons to see if anyone was watching him or acting shady; could never be too careful in his line of work.

And right on cue two N.G.R. agents walked in surveying the area. Soon as they noticed Glitch one spoke into a communicator and they made their way over. As they did Glitch promptly began opening various programs while planning his escape route. The two men stood side by side at the edge of the booth, one spoke in a hushed tone. “Sir, we need you to come with us.” Glitch responded by setting his datapad down and chugging his coffee. “Sir, let’s not-” he was interrupted by Glitch holding his other hand out with his index finger out to say ‘one moment’.

With a satisfied ‘ah’ he set the empty cup down and grabbed his datapad. ”Let me guess. I’m wanted for questioning regarding some incident and you’d like me to come quietly and not cause a scene?” He said getting up from his seat. ”Lets just make this quick.”

Seeing that he was complying, the two agents didn’t restrain him as they began to walk out of the cafe. This was a mistake. As they neared the door Glitch grabbed the nearest table and pulled it down in front of the agents then ran for the door, hitting the lock controls on the way out. Of course they could just unlock it, unless someone tapped into the the stations main network and shut down power to the door controls. They would be needing a crowbar to get out now.

Sadly, those weren’t the only agents. Another group was waiting at the shuttle docks ready for extraction, and these guys were armed and ready. Quickly scanning for a com signal he picked up the N.G.R. frequency in time to hear the trapped agents alerting their friends. “HE LOCKED US IN HERE! DON’T LET HIM ESCA-skksshhhhhhh.”

”Oops, looks like your call dropped.” Glitch said to himself as he blocked the signal. The problem here was the armed escorts knew he was loose now, they split up and began checking the area. He’d have to find a way to distract them just long enough for him to board one. He had an idea, but it would take some time.

Logging into the security feeds, he figured the only way they could have found him was the cameras catching him. Sure enough he found footage of him entering the cafe, clearly they had some sort of scanning program that alerted them when it picked up certain people. Clever, but now he was going to use that against them. Taking the footage he cut everything but him and pasted himself over another individual that was currently boarding shuttle 5.

Sending the faulty footage though the cameras it was instantly picked up and in seconds the agents were surrounding shuttle 5. As they closed in on nothing, Glitch slipped aboard shuttle 2 and took a seat. ”Time for us to take off.” Accessing the flight schedule he switched the departure time to that instant. The automated systems picked it up and quickly shut the doors and began take off. Once safely off that station Glitch closed all the things he was running on his datapad and sat back to enjoy the ride.

Background:

Hailing from the metropolis cities of Gaia, Aaron Floyd grew up in the streets with no family and few friends. Many in his situation turned to petty crime as a way of life and in that aspect Aaron was no different. However, while the others did shake downs and back alley muggings for money, Aaron took things in a more technical approach. ATM’s, stolen phones, if it ran on a computer or program, he could hack it.

As he got older, the jobs got bigger and bigger. The ATM’s became the banks themselves, and the stolen phones moved to encrypted servers. He adopted his alias after frequently hearing security personnel mistake his intrusions for simple ‘glitches’. This was also handy for a code name as these jobs would require full teams and divulging his real name wasn’t exactly wise in this line of business.

Though money was always welcome, Aaron preferred the score of information as its value was always recognized. Weapon specs, prototype tech, even confidential passwords, he would go for anything he could use or simply sell to the highest bidder.

@Lauder

What does Azir look like? Can't seem to find a CS anywhere.

Also @Polybius do we want to post our CS's in the Character tab so they're easier to find?

@Polybius

Hey I just noticed @OtomostheCrazy's character isn't in the tab.

Expanding Universe-Season 1

So do we just wait for everyone to be accepted, or can some of us make a post, or...?

@OtomostheCrazy

Been wondering the same thing.

God's Shattering [Concluded]

@TheWindel

Actually right now a post is in the works for Jessi, @Awesomoman64 asked me about a few details an hour ago.

@KoL

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Jessi

This was a very confusing situation the two found themselves in. Why was Emilia being so friendly to them? Did she forget Fei’s mother was the one that killed her father? Or was there some hidden agenda behind the puppet masters hospitality? Even though it was probably the later, Jessi and Fei were in no position to question it. After the short explanation of what their accommodations would be, Jessi thanked Emilia and followed the servants to his and Fei’s quarters.

Once they arrived and the servant was dismissed, Jessi looked around in amazement. Tapestries lined the walls adding color and life to the room. Furniture of excellent craftsmanship filled the room just enough that it didn’t feel empty, but far from over crowded. There was even a porch if you wanted a view of the desert town. Finally the bed. It was not just a queen, it was fit for one as well. The sheets were the finest silk he had seen with a large fur cover that looked to be from a lion like beast.

Never had he seen such a beautiful room, let alone stayed in one. It was so impressive that for a moment he forgot that there was only one bed for the two of them. Once this fact came back to him, he knew he would need to forfeit the bed. ”I’ll. Take the floor.” he stated just to make sure his intentions were clear. As much as he longed to lay on what he imagined was the closest you could get to a cloud, his report to Asgard was already gonna be a shit storm. Getting attacked at a tavern, letting an ogress kidnap the princess, and then being saved and staying with her mortal enemy. Last thing he needed to top that list would be Slept in same bed as her daughter.

With that he set his spear against the wall and sat down at a writing desk in the corner of the room. Undoing the leather straps on his armor he began taking each piece off and dropping it to the ground with a large *thud*. Jessi felt 100 times lighter as the weight was literally removed from his shoulders. Last but not least, he pulled his headband off and tossed it onto the desk. As it left contact with Jessi it transformed into it’s tome form, a gray and sherwood green book with intricate gold details across the covers.

Once Jessi no longer had his tome, all his senses dulled. Things moved faster around him, colors became less vibrant, distinctive sounds now all blurred together in the background, but most importantly, all the pain in his body dulled. He was probably bruised and maybe had a few cracked bones, not to mention he was exhausted from all the fighting, but for now he could finally relax.

The silence in the room started to feel awkward, and although previous attempts at conversation were met with backlash, Jessi figured he’d give it another go. ”So. She seems nice. How long you think before she tries to turn us into one of those puppet things?”
