It's either stolen (In which case whoever once owned it probably put a bounty on your head to get it back) or built by a fellow crew member (Which means it's probably not street-legal and/or made of stolen materials.) [b]Details[/b] It has become an honoured tradition to welcome new crew members into the official ranks by granting then a piece of exciting contraband from the secret stash. It's amazing what these guys pick up, throw out or tinker together. Most items in the stash are forgotten about, their purpose, reasoning and origins. That is until some lucky member pulls it out and starts asking questions. [b]Restrictions:[/b][list] [*]GM and Crew approval is [u]always[/u] required upon selection. [*]Lost or confiscated items may on occasion be replaced if you have contributed valuably to the crew. (Do not abuse this.) [/list] [/hider] [hider=FRIEND SHIP] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/YuqiFkf.png[/img] [h2][u][b]Friend Ship[/b][/u][/h2] The Love Bomb Pirates are all typically onboard their flagship, the Penumbra. A former military vessel, it has many advanced training facilities, including a VR deck and a gravity room. Since they're so close knit, joining the crew gives the new member a new skill of power level equal to their own. The skill doesn't necessarily have to be an exact copy of the partner's ability. But it does have to be something that the crew member could conceivably learn from another crew member. For example, if there are no crew members with magical powers, then this ability can't be used to learn any magical powers. It should be talked about with the other person, and can be roleplayed in character.[/center][/hider] [b]Territories:[/b] [colour=darkkhaki]"Rent is theft, we go where we want."[/colour] [color=f49ac2]"Ahmen, but I do like that place Tortuga."[/color] [hider=Tortuga, a pirates refuge.] [img]http://userimage3.360doc.com/12/1227/13/10875950_201212271342340208.jpg[/img] [center][h2][u][b]Tortuga[/b][/u][/h2] [color=gray][hr]The stolen moon • Pirate haven • Mercenary lair [/color][/center][hr] This tiny moon has undergone much construction. A powerful propulsion system lets it travel where ever it wants. Much of the core has been mined away and used on its large exoskeleton. The labyrinth of empty tunnels and caverns that sprawl beneath the surface have become a sanctuary and breeding ground for all sorts of unsavoury types seeking either refuge, work, the thriving illegal trade or even all of the above. [hider=under the surface] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/46/13/97/461397e36880a68ab11c0fafe53e9333.jpg[/img][/hider] Tortuga is home to the large four armed Goratu. [hider=Goratu][img] https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/fantasy-monster-four-arms-d-render-40284534.jpg [/img] A dull seemingly animalistic race incapable of language beyond grunts. Many dismissed them at first. While large and powerful they remained peaceful unless really provoked. But like all animals they had some powerful instincts, a natural understanding of things. And those things were mechanics, metals and spacecrafts. With an uncanny comprehension of engineering they turned their small moon into a space station and fled the different world they revolved around. [b]History[/b]: The Goratu struggled to co-exist. They once populated many lands across a single planet. There was variety to their species and the land supplied all they needed. Then colonisation came. The Goratu don't understand things like 'personal space', 'possessions' or 'law'. Seen as unintelligent and a hinderance they were kicked off their own planet. Now only a small percentage still survive. Their ways have not changed but the people that visit have adapted. [b]Interactions:[/b] The Goratu [i]mostly[/i] mind there own business. The have a keen sense of smell and touch. Occasionally they will grow curious or decide to look at or touch something of yours... Let them! Basic trade is not possible with them, as any attempts of communication is futile. Visitors have learned though that if you can get a Goratu to your ship he will surely fix it. They will also take anything that interests them. It is common practice and considered proper behaviour to entice them by leaving food and spare parts.[img]https://t00.deviantart.net/tgOvP2S1K_yPdq7WE--8H8XRQL4=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre05/925c/th/pre/f/2012/180/6/a/6a9c1b313cd4b07891678a21b7b13324-d55b14h.jpg [/img][/hider] [/hider] [center][h3][b]Critical Points[/b][/h3][/center] [b][u]Critical Point One: Flagship[/u][/b] [hider=The Penumbra] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/62/65/2f/62652f2e1fd3e821a587b9ac2a7ea93a.jpg[/img] The Penumbra is a Max-One-Five model TRD ship that the THO stole somewhere around the end of the war. The ship gets it's name from the fully integrated AI that keeps the ship's systems online. The AI, named Max by Alexis, has been hacked by THO scientists but the hack was never fully finished and some parts of the ship remain inaccessible. The Penumbra is equipped with the latest TRD weapons that include(but are not limited to) photon missiles capable of blowing holes up to 20kms, plasma machine guns placed on almost every square inch of the ship and an yet locked weapon called "Annihilator Missile" said to be the TDR's reply to heavily defended Space stations. It's strongest asset, however, is the AEGIS energy shield. It’s able to absorb almost any attack. As it does so, it gathers energy. When it’s turned off, it releases a massive amount of force. Thus, the shield can also be used for a devastating ram. In terms of facilities, the ship is huge but with most of it closed off by the AI. There crew quarters have been refurbished by the crew in order to house humans and not robots and an workshop has been remade into a medical lab. The armory has a decent stock of TDR's latest weapons (plasma guns and radars(same one Alexis has)), and there’s a workshop with a military-grade 3D printing facility.) The inside looks like a bachelor pad for the most part. The Lounge has a stripper pole with a hologram projector. Marco attempted to program an anime girl stripper into it, but instead accidentally got it stuck to [url=https://www.dreamboys.co.uk/images/malestrippers/600/Jackj.jpg]a man named Mario[/url] who hangs out in the lounge and claims to be the captain.

They sell stuff they steal and make in exchange for things like weapons, ammo, and raw materials. Most of their trading is done on Tortuga through various contacts. If Tortuga were retaken, they would lose this and be much less well-equipped.[/hider] [b][u]Critical Point Three: Star Chart[/u][/b] [hider=X Marks The Spot][img]http://i.imgur.com/u9IOtAi.jpg[/img] This map leads to an ancient, priceless treasure that lies near the galactic core. Mere posession of it is dangerous, for whatever it leads to could change the face of the Galaxy forever.[/hider] [center][h3][b]Members[/b][/h3][/center] [@HeroicSociopath] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/163995-marco-valentine/ooc]Marco Valentine the Pirate[/url] [@Antarctic Termite] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4308549]Giggles the Anarchist[/url] [@Dark Light] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4328537]Anya Alexi the Demoness[/url] [@ChickenTeriyaki] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164112-john-edited/ooc]John the Wannabe Urban Ninja[/url] [@LPRKN] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164093-colin-setanta-and-hound/ooc#post-4325686]Colin Setanta the Engineer[/url], [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164093-colin-setanta-and-hound/ooc#post-4325686]Hound the Good Boy[/url] [@Ashevelendar] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164298-alexis-benghazad/ooc#post-4334758]Alexis Ben'Ghazad the Experiment[/url] [@Styxx Acheron] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164643-lucca-valentine-cheetah-shifter-extraordinaire-in-progress/ooc#post-4346679]Lucca Valentine the Cheetah Shifter Extraodinaire[/url] [@SIGINT] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164920-sigint/ooc]SIGINT the Best Hacker In the Universe[/url] [@JaceBeleren] : [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164228-diana-vultz-frigate-captain-and-kobasratha-soul-duke/ooc]Diana Vultz the Iron Miaden[/url]
