Crew -

Captain, Main Pilot -

Shoma (No Last name) A hard-bitten woman, who cleans up right nice and is beautiful on rare occasions when she smiles.

Strengths - Personal Combat, determination, smart, perception.
Weaknesses - Intent on Self Ownership and Defending her assembled family

An orphan, then a prostitute/thief/grifter, then a madam, then a leg breaker for a local Mob, Shoma tried to get out of "The Life" and fell in love with Tahn Mos. The success of the escape was mixed.

-*-

First Officer -

Tahn Mos - A bigger-than-average man with white hair and white walrus mustache. Smarter than he often seems, and tougher. Formerly a police investigator. He "flipped" Shoma based on her desire to escape "the Life", and fell in love. - when expected protection from the legal system faded away, Tahn Mos and Shoma "liberated" a large chunk of Mob money and escaped to the frontier, where they bought and rehabbed "Azzic House"

Strengths - Investigation, Administration, making contacts. Patience and determination.
Weaknesses - "secretly" idealistic, loves Shoma

-*-

Ship's Doctor -

Losma Won - A thin, ascetic-looking woman, with dark hair. She is past brilliant and past crazy. A superior doctor and mad scientist, when not engaged in mad science or an emergency, she calms herself with drugs and music.

Considers Tahn and Shoma friends, because they can almost keep up with her. Followed Tahn to the Azzic House because if he left "She wouldn't have anyone to talk to." - the lack of romantic chemistry between Tahn and Losma is remarkable.
Has a weird relationship with Yba Mar

Strengths - medical skill, mad science, Super smart
Weaknesses - Mad, drugs, super-smart makes ordinary things difficult for her.

-*-

Chief Engineer -

Noram Zaid - A regal woman, from a Noble house. When she was young, she was a mercenary, high-tech thief, infiltrator, and adventurer.

Her family was ruined by political treachery. Her parents died in a mysterious Shuttle accident. She is intent on taking down the faction that murdered her parents... as soon as she discovers which one that is.

Strengths: Techno-magic. breaking and Entering. High Society. lying convincingly

Weaknesses: Occasionally overwhelmed with the shortages and compromises demanded by life on the bottom edges of society. Doesn't see herself as one of "those" people.

-*-

Crewman, Legbreaker -

Yba Mar - Formely A model and a minor sports figure, Yba was handsome, strong, and rich. But he wasn't smart. A corrupt business manager and an evil, gold-digging wife stripped him of his fortune, then framed him for taking performance-enhancing drugs.

Mar was ruined and broke. Then he was profoundly injured in a sport-flyer accident. Tahn investigated and referred Yba to Losma. Losma used cybernetics to repair Mar. Her work is quirky, and she was using stolen Fesn Qsud technology, which is not the standard.

Mar is obviously a Cyborg. He has discovered that he really doesn't care about anything but beer, friends, doing some work to earn some money, and so on. He also likes to hit people (Leftover from pro sports), is perfectly willing to injure and kill people he doesn't know. He would dearly love to tie his ex-wife and his ex-business manager into knots and toss them out an airlock.

Has a weird relationship with Losma. They are sexually attracted to each other, but otherwise almost different life forms.

-*-

Crewman -

Lan Margo - An older man, often somewhat drunk. He used to be an investigative reporter, and then turned into a popular video presenter and then ran for office and succeeded.

In the process, he sold his soul. Margo was wheeling and dealing and drinking himself to death when Tahn and Shoma made contact and asked for help. Shoma wanted to turn over on the mob to escape the life. Seeing a chance to regain his previous idealism, Margo got behind Shoma and Tahn and pushed.

His enemies outmaneuvered him. They quashed the case and its legal protection for Shoma and Tahn. Lan fought this tooth and nail but was quickly undercut and on his way to ruination.

He warned Tahn and Shoma that they were about to be thrown under the bus. With that, his political career was ruined. His fortune was confiscated and his wife left him. He is considered a disreputable, self-destructed former politician.

He joined Shoma and Tahn on the Azzic House and is working on gathering information for his last big story, mapping out the political forces and factions running things.

Strengths: Charisma, deal-making, information gathering, and hoarding.

Weaknesses: Drinking, Age, may cut corners under high pressure.

-*-



Zug Alloa - A light yellow man of large size and quiet manner. He is a psychologist, specialized in aberrant psychology. He also has a degree in high-energy physics. He is a rationalist and skeptic.

Strengths - Understanding aberrant thought, minors in Medicine and techno-magic

Weaknesses - rationalist, sometimes past the point of rationality.

-*-

Ammydt Ran - A thin woman with black hair and brown eyes, she is a medical doctor, pathologist and forensic examiner. She is intense. She is a conspiracy theorist. Her family has a history with the Possen Fiil, and got screwed.

Her arguments with Doctor Losma Won are energetic and hard for non-mad medical science types to follow.

Strengths - Doctor, Mad Pathology, Conspiracy theories, and knowledge of the movers and shakers.

-*-

Toxi Imsok - A tall woman with short, curly dark hair. She is a former professional commercial starship officer, which gives her skills at organizing the Azzic House that the regular crew lacks. Toxi is mostly quiet and often seems sad and withdrawn. Her evidence of former, unspoken trauma puts her right at home with the rest of the Azzic house crew.

Strengths - Pilot, Spacemanship, organization, hard work.

Weaknesses - her Spacemanship skills are oddly formatted. She is quiet, withdrawn, and has problems sleeping. Probably the most normal person on the ship.

Meta -----

Captain - Shoma
Not sure where I got her. She's a squish of Mal and Imara from Firefly

XO - Tahn Mos
A redress of John Watson

CMO - Losma Won
A Redress of Sherlock Holmes

Except that Sherlock is gender-swapped. They also swap Investigator (Watson) and Doctor (Holmes)

The fact that they have negative sexual chemistry, but are glued together by deep friendship is a thing that is important to their groove for me.

CENG - Noram Zaid
She is a sort of a remix of an old RPG character, but went in a different direction

Crewman - Yba Mar
I don't know why this guy is there. Picture Damon Wayans character from "The Last Boy Scout" as a cyborg

Crewman - Lan Margo
A remix of a reoccurring character in my head. His personal tragedy is slowly eating him as we start but, he is also a source of info, contacts, and story hooks.

Zug Alloa
A Gender swapped remix of Scully from the X-files

Ammydt Ran
A gender Swapped remix of Mulder from the X-Files.

Again these two have a skill swap, with Alloa as the Psychologist and Ran as the Doctor.

They're on the run from the Cigarette Smoking Man

Passenger - Toxi Imsok
No idea what I was thinking. She's a time traveler, and stranded in the past. Her Shipkeeping skills come from being a Starfleet officer


In this redress of the characters, they are Orions with an origin in the Orion Main.

[jayphailey]

For this use

They've picked up an "MMM" at The Fulcrum and have had previous adventures with that being as crewmember. They have added him to their group bond.

the MMM is a humanoid of indeterminate gender, looks like They're made out of gray clay, with no hair. Has interesting skin ridges at the eyebrows for the same function, express emotions and guide water out of the eyes.

MMM has been gaining the skills and the contextual understanding of an adventurer. So a level of Techie, a level of rogue, Knowledge skills about the galaxy and the Adventuring/criminal layer of the region.

MMM refuses to use weapons or employ violence "The last time I did that, I felt so horrible, I just can't bring myself to anymore."

[jayphailey]

At the Fulcrum, the crew of the Azzic House gets word that there is a Second El-Aurian Empire world, abandoned in place for no adequately explained reason.

The Blue Mane faction of the Lions has a group of ships in orbit around the world, working on looting.

They will also accept outside looting parties for a price.

The crew of the Azzic House decides to go try to liberate some of the artifacts and archaeology without paying the Blue Manes.

The following people stayed on The Fulcrum to arrange for buyers, and to limit the exposure to hostile action.

But MMM Insisted on going in order to learn more. Once he's fully informed of the risk, Shoma shrugs and says "Sure."

Instead of thinking "Firefly" for this one, which is how I was picturing it before, this is more of the Millennium Falcon. Fast, sneaky a smuggler.

The crew has various wanted notices on the bounty list, except for "MMM"

The DS-130 free trader,

[jayphailey]

They're in the market. The original ship is hosed now.

[Innkeeper]

They're in the market. The original ship is hosed now.

BTW the technology for DiSodium is near 50 years old. It is no secret. The main thing is the Federation has the lion's share of the supply. It's findable in other places, but the amounts are small and scarce. So the little guys don't get much.

The Orions seeking how popular the DS-130 is will duplicate in in DiLithium. Looks like a sports car, runs like a Civic.

[jayphailey]

Noted. 50 yeas? No, the Andorian kid on STB-600 cracked it ... a while back. It's in our moves.

Maybe 20 to 25 years old?

It means the manuals and technical specs are around. What non-friendlies are missing is a source of DISodium and experience.
