[OOC] The Marauders (2016)

[Akayaofthemoon]

I'll have a post up tomorrow night if I am lucky

[Hailfire]

@Jones Sparrow Ashley wouldn't have access to this info, given it isn't pertinent to her role as one of the operating convicts aboard the ship. It'd just be dizzy's character getting the files :)

Thanks for humouring us on this. I absolutely love world building and can quite easily lose myself in a fictional setting. Can't wait to get going and a collab post should help scratch the itch whilst meaning you do not have to rush on our behalf.

[boomlover]

Gonna drop in via drop pod.

[boomlover]

well this is going slower than expected.

@Akayaofthemoon would you be oh so nice and give me a quick summery what happend sao far.

@boomlover

Three teams were made. One ground, one on the Monroe and one on standby for distraction.
They were on an icy planet that seemed empty up until out local research scientist wanted some genetic material from one of the eggs in a found nest. Gaint ice bird was unhappy and attacked ground team. Cassie went to distract so the others could get to shuttle. Rae shot the bird in the eye with an arrow and Raymond punched it in the face before they all tried to escape. Talley was chased by chicken monkey creatures.
They all made it to the shuttle while Cassie throughly distracted the bird but at the loss of her own life. The Captain then gave orders to attack the hostile bird which was taken care of. Not death but taken care of.

That is kind of where we are at with everyone on the ship and headed for the Spire now.

@agentmanatee

[agentmanatee]

@Jones Sparrow well my sheet either way, I can always make him not pilot

Skorax

Name: Skorax
AKA: 'Kell'
Age: 19
Race: Veeraxi

Appearance

Faction: Marauder (former criminal)
Role in Team: Pilot
Personality: Skolas is irritable, self confident, underhanded, clever, and occsionally could be called delusional. His time spent as a captain amongst his people before being captured has led him to curse his new position. He is quick to anger and slow to cool off. He believes himself to be extremely important and that no obstacle can stop him, possessed of extreme pride and self confidence to an occasionally annoying or worrying amount. He does things his way, the 'way of his people' and lives by their old tenants faithfully. It does not help that a fair amount of those tenents are rather violent. He restrains himself well enough for fear of death or censure, and because deep down like many of his people Skorax is a coward. He has no qualms with abandoning a venture that has gone to far south and counting his losses, but if pumped up enough he can convince himself there is no such thing as defeat, and will stand till he stops breathing.

Bio

Skorax was born much like all Veeraxi, on a ship. The Veeraxi are a piratical race of raiders and mercenaries, most are born amongst the stars. His father, Skraxis, was a Veeraxi cptain or 'Kell' and led a small fleet. Early in his life Skorax was given command of a boarding party, being the youngest son of Skraxis, and therefore never expected to take Kellship from his forebearer. Skorax was not content with this, and led his men on many a daring action in order to earn the favor of his father and stand out amongst his thirty or so siblings. Time and time again Skorax proved his worth, taking many trophies and victories for his Kell and father. Eventually, he was lifted up to be one of his fathers four lieutenants, all of whom were the Kells children. Skraxis was not long for the galaxy though, and perished during a raid not long after.

When a Kell dies, his children will often vie for his position and fight amongst themselves. They skeem, plot and murder one another until a new Kell has secured his throne. After the death of his father the fleet split under the 'rule of four Kells' in which he and his most powerful siblings vied for control. One by one skorax outwitted his foes, tricking his brother Skrixis into a raid only to have his ship crippled and abandoned by the fleet. His sisters, Skrikit and Velsis squabbled between eachother, giving Skorax time to rally his weaker siblings and others in the fleet ti his bannner. He ambushed their ships whilst they fought one another, destroying Skrixis and forcing Velsis to surrender and be taken as a prisoner. With this act, Skorax had claimed the Kellship and took up his fathers armour.

He led his fleet for several fruitful years, before one ill fated encounter with Galactic committee forces. The battle turned sour, and Skorax attempted to flee. But, unkown to Skorax his sister had escaped and had his ship crippled while the rest of the fleet fled. Cursing her name, he turned to try and fight but was overwhelmed. He was declared a criminal against them and found guilty on multiple charges of piracy, murder and theft of committee resources. Rather than die, Skorax declared he would become a member of the expedition force. Skorax became a marauder, and has piloted the Monroe ever since

Weapon(s) :

'Veeraxi Captain' heavy machinegun

Kell Skraxis' Obliterator

Family/Relationship: Any of Skorax's family who still live are likely unaware he is not dead, and Veeraxi do not form strong family bonds with those not on their crew
Other:
- As a Veeraxi, Skorax stands rather tall at Eight foot five inches
- All Veeraxi other than the lowest amongst them have four arms, Skorax's are enhanced with cybernetics like most Veeraxi 'Kells'
- His mask pumps a concentrated chemical breathed on the Veeraxi Homeworld. Though their lungs can breathe oxygen for a time, Veeraxi weaken when breathing it, and are only at their peak when breathing their own air. The Oxygen will eventually kill a Veeraxi, but it is a relatively slow burn
- Veeraxi mature quickly, and tend to live short and brutal lives. Skorax has lived to a fairly rare age, as only Kells make it past about 15 and most never reach 20
