If it was the Medici family that would be awsome, but that is a side note.Alexeduardo said:
I just think that so far if every poster got in we would need a definate reason to follow our leader because all of our stories seem to show that we would just kill each other to accomplish our personal goals.
Have I been added to the list o' people as my computer isn't showing it... odd.The Tommunist said:
Merutio does not have a phobia of asphyxiation, it's just prudent to wear something like that when you are in space. A flannel shirt will not provide a long-term sealed environment in the event that someone blows a hole in your cockpit.2fish said:I thought about giving my character a phobia of suffocating on a ship but it seems you beat me to itNimbleJack3 said:. I am also still working on how he would deal with the phobia of the ship breaking down in space.
True it is a good idea to be ready for the ship to try and kill you. And I was hoping for a character with phobias, we always need a Hannible, Face, Murdock and a B.A. on our team.NimbleJack3 said:Merutio does not have a phobia of asphyxiation, it's just prudent to wear something like that when you are in space.

Delka is one of the last ancient Forge Worlds, once these massive planetary foundries fueled much of the Empire's expansion efforts. Its citizens would live in massive archologies where hydroponics and water purification would supply everyone's needs. Nowadays many of the worlds have fallen into either disrepair and are unusable or were entirely destroyed in the various Trade Wars.
Delka may have survived the crucible of the Trade Wars, but it now lives in a state of perpetual civil war. Various corporations, both large and small wage an endless war over control of the various factories and archologies on Delka. Gangs of corporate shock troopers and independent contractors will launch assaults on compound of Rival Corporation to gain physical control of property.
Currently the Bushani Corporation controls a majority 43% of the arcologies and factories on Delka and the port city of Akria is considered to be the safest location on the planet with a crime rate of 12% and attack by rivals at 19%.
In orbit is the debris of ships that have perished in the endless war for control of the planet. Several salvaging operations are operated by the corporations, but attacks by rival's leaves these positions exposed. However, visitors to the planet will most likely also see the massive Vulcan shipyards, a massive two hundred kilometer space station that appears above Delkas North Pole. Commonly called The Halo, this stations functions as the one neutral ground available at Delka and is respected by almost all of the major corporations on Delka. Along with ship construction, this facility serves as a transit terminal for incoming and outgoing personnel and material as well at a massive terminal for the Delken space elevators.
The Halo is run by the small, but influential Ashford Corporation. Almost all corporations on Delka have sworn to protect The Halo, as it is the sole life line that keeps Delka afloat financially. Any attacks on The Halo have resulted in the utter annihilation of the attacks. The most recent example was in AR 1042, the third most powerful corporation, the Dalmer Corporation, attempted to seize control of the Halo. An alliance of the Afstanza, Excalibur and Bushani Corporation saw not only the destruction of the Dalmer fleet, but the seizer of over 93% of the Dalmer Corporation's holdings on Delka.
Despite the horrid way of life the approximately 14 billion people on Delka must endure, the planet supplies around one third of all industrial goods and ships throughout the Arm. Many have flocked to the planet seeking employment in the lucrative fields of Salvaging and Mercenary protection.
Currently there are only three recognized laws on Delka
1. Respect the Neutrality of the Ring
2. All commitments in deals must be followed through by both the contractor and the contracted
3. If you didn't read the fine print, tough luck.
Travelers are advised to go with armed guard and try to conduct all deals aboard the Halo
History: Mila was born in Antoinette, one of the arcologies belonging to the Hadrian Corporation. Growing up in a constant battle zone was incredible Darwinian amongst the children in her arcology. With child mortality rate at around 63%, the children who lived to their sixteenth birthday tended to have some natural combat skills and reflexes. Corporate recruiters would often troll the slums looking for new recruits. Eventually Mila joined up to escapes the slum life. She was placed in an officer training course after she read the fine print on her contact, which would have obligated her to stay a corporate soldier for twenty seven years. Corporate standards for squad leaders was low (given that most corporate soldiers had a life expectancy of three years) so being smart enough to look for fine print automatically qualified you to lead a squad of untrained morons.
Mila lead her squad in various encounters for five years before her contract expired. She continued to operate independently for four more years, sometimes smuggling goods to various corporations and needy civilians and other times fighting freelance for a corporation if the pay was good enough.
However, Mila eventually grew sick of the constant warfare on her planet and eventually took her saving and bought a ticket off the rock to the farthest planet she knew, Xhi.
Like most people from Delka, Mila is extremely obsessive compulsive when it comes to examining things for detail (a trait that comes from a place where fine print and defect can kill you) as well as using exact numbers. Furthermore, like most children from Delka, Mila has a mild from of ADHD which manifest in her appearing anxious when not occupied with a given task.
Equipment:
1 X-32 Bushani balisong with a nine inch blade.
1 set of Nikkata corporation form amour. It's a more bulky version of the Skinweave amour; it can stop higher caliber bullets, but is much harder to conceal needing either long flowing clothing or even more bulky cloths.
1 Hadrian corporation Combat service revolver, a .38 caliber revolver with a cylinder containing 12 bullets.
1 J.A.C.K tool, created by the Johari Corporation, basically is a futuristic Swiss army knife which can perform a variety of functions.
1 Afstanza corporation XTL sub machine gun, utilizes rail gun technology to grant rapid and deadly hails of bullets.
1 Denton handheld tablet, (basically a futuristic PDA that can also project small holographic images.

I think I'll change Merutio to a pilot, the whole 'heavy weapons guy' thing isn't working with the ship cannon. That okay?
