ChevKali smirked at the helmeted man, he didn't seem to be an amateur but he definitely wasn't a steeled veteran either, "Don't worry your pretty little head. We're being quite civil here. Cautious but civil. I enjoy meeting new people, I wouldn't worry about a fight." Kali cast a sidelong glance at Alexa and grinned, "Though I do believe this one would put me through me paces should any kind of physical confrontation occur." Alexa did not seem like the promiscuous type, but you never knew and that never stopped Kali before. In her experience, the hard-assed ones could prove to be a lot of fun. Kali had no doubt that Alexa would be a veritable force of nature in a fight, and would be a worthy challenge. But one did not strike a representative of the Pirate Queen without expecting serious reprisals.
The Huntress inclined her head at Alexa, "I'm glad to hear that, I believe we can work together very well. Anyone that has earned such high status among Aria and her company is worthy of admiration and respect." Kali smirked as Alexa began circling the mystery man, that one was a natural predator. Scoping out the new meat and trying to see what he was made of. She did so in a rather heavy-handed manner but Kali had to respect Alexa's directness and no-nosense approach. She was quite like Aria in many ways. She was definitely someone Kali wouldn't mind getting to know better. Kali wondered what it took to get Alexa to lower that steely exterior. Or if her time under Aria had taught her any skills not relating to martial prowess. Kali smiled internally at the thought.
Kali could practically smell the tension building as Alexa confronted the man. Kali stretched out her fingers as the man approached her. Violence might occur and Kali decided that if that happened she would throw her lot in with Alexa. Getting on Aria's good side was always a bonus, and Alexa deserved the professional courtesy as a player of her stature. However the man didn't buckle under the stress or pull a gun, which was a favorable reaction in her eyes. He wasn't as masterful at retorting Alexa's remarks as he could have been but he did well enough. He still had a little bit to learn about this business and how to stand up to his peers. Like not turning your back on a potential enemy.
The man was now across from her and Alexa in front of her, and Kali moved so that she was next to Aria's Fist while keeping a mostly equal distance with both of them, forming a mercenary triangle, though she was standing a little closer to Alexa than to the other man. Having both of them in front of her was the better choice if a fight broke out, but she didn't want to make Alexa uneasy of having a killer behind her. And hopefully her slight favoring of Alexa in her positioning would display solidarity. For the man's sake she kept an amused look on her face. Before the tension could turn into a firefight, she chuckled lowly, "My my for an unknown quantity you certainly have some guts. Let's not make this unpleasant, I doubt the client will be willing to pay whoever survives should we fight. First impressions and all that." Kali grinned and her eyes gleamed at the man, "Though I do believe you would do well to introduce yourself. We shared our identities and we're going to be working together. It's only polite."

I haven't seen ShadowD for quite a while. Can we proceed without him for now?
Is everyone still alive?
How are those sheets coming Firo?
Kali arched an eyebrow as the Human came around the corner, Humans were an interesting bunch to say the least. So little time among Galactic society and already they had amassed so much power. The same went for the Underworld. They fascinated her, how much they lived in so short a time. Kali hoped this male would prove to be interesting, mediocrity is a terrible state. Kali smiled and said, "It would appear so." It seemed this human was making an effort to conceal his identity whereas Kali made no such concession, that could any number of things but that was something to be dissected later. She smiled, her red lips parting in genuine amusement, "It used to be part of my job human. A job I mastered long before you were born. It's no mystery at all."
The Asari Huntress heard a woman's voice and turned her head slightly, stepping back so that she could see the new arrival while keeping the man in view. The woman had a singularity charged, and Kali let her arms fall to where she kept a few of her hidden blades. She did not tense up in anticipation but she was ready all the same to biotically charge the woman and lay into her if it came to that. Her introduction piqued Kali's interest. Kali smiled again and her eyes gleamed, "Ah. I've heard of you, the human known as Aria's Fist. You have an excellent reputation Alexa, they say you were as good as I was when I served Aria." Her smile turned mischievous, "I am Dorea Y'varti. But the galaxy at large knows me as Kali. It is my pleasure." If one of Aria's top enforcers was involved this job might prove to be very interesting indeed,

Dorea Y'varti, Kali the Huntress, entered the warehouse. The former Asari commando was loaded for bear as the humans say, her armor and weapons were all clearly equipped. As her mentors had trained her she had thoroughly reconnoitered the area, one did not simply take chances especially when meeting a mystery client on Illium. Normally, Dorea would not have accepted this kind of offer but she had very little choice and the mystery client had been very generous. After decades of working in the Terminus, Kali knew that this situation could be a cover-up for any number of things. Perhaps another Vigilante gathering mercenaries in order to exact vengeance, or any other established Underworld figure who would do the same, perhaps they were to be press-ganged into bondage, and maybe an old enemy had come for her. That was unusual, for enemies had to be alive to plot revenge but it was possible. Any number of deceptions could have been at play.
Even if the situation was a legitimate briefing, it could turn into a brawl depending on the professionalism of the other mercenaries. For her part, Kali would not incite any hostility and as such she kept her weapons (most of them) in plain view and assumed a cautious but non-threatening stance. She had seen someone else enter before her. Her long years of experience under the commandoes had allowed her to spot the other mercenary, no matter what fancy tricks he may have employed. She kept her hands away from her guns and blades but was ready to snap a biotic attack at the first sign of trouble. Kali called out, her voice ringing clearly in the small space, "Who's there? If it pleases you, I'd like you to come out from where you're hiding. This is a meeting, but I doubt the next mercenary wold take well to someone lying in ambush for them. I certainly won't."

Firo, that was largely my reasoning for not allowing OCs in the first place though I could have communicated that better.
It just so happens we have five people :P It's an inspired idea, somewhat like choosing characters for a video-game session xD If everyone agrees to this, I think it could work splendidly. If everyone controls more than one character, say two or three, we could also have a few different plots advancing at the same time. With all of the different stories connecting in plot development and character development, much like the actual show.

Yog, heh you know how I run most superhero rps :P Most rps in general, it's just different when it's something that heavily involves canon characters.
So we could just change this into a small cast, would you all be receptive to rotating characters?

There's no rush.
No offense was meant Rumiko and I'm sorry if it came across as me dismissing you, but as of right now there isn't enough interest to justify a full-blown roleplay that relies on a large team. I'm still keeping this open if there is ever any renewed interest. But if you have any suggestions please feel free to share.
