The fallen order

“Ph'tulka doesn’t just let people finish their apprenticeship. It’s about keeping secrets. If your gonna insist on this foolish lie, I’m gonna need you stay onboard.”

The fallen order

"Which is exactly why I doubt you've ever worked with him. Ph'tulka may run less than legal business arrangments, and as such, doesn't take on apprentices who will leave." He explained. "Last time I was there, I got to experience the funeral of his last apprentice, who he shot in the face for wanting to move back his home town. The fact that I met you on Dagobah means either your lying or Ph'tulka Hos wants you dead." He turned in his chair to face Blaine. "No judgement, just be upfront. I'd prefer the truth, and avoid an incident early."

The fallen order

"Huh, small galaxy," Zir said. Zir knew Ph'tulka wasn't the type to normally take on apprentices. Especially given his select clientele was less than legal. "If Ph'tulka really taught you how to be a mechanic, then you'd know his wife's name."

The fallen order

Zir Go typed in the hyperspace coordinates. "Oh, you ever do business with a man named Ph'tulka Hos?" He asked as the ship jumped to hyperspace. "He's a Bith mechanic. Like most Bith, really smart. He's developed trans-phasic docking clamps that will allow us to dock a ship at hyperspeed," Zir explained. "At least in theory. Ph'tulka hasn't had anyone test them yet, so we are just as likely to explode." HIs voice rather lighthearted for someone who just told them there was a fifty-fifty chance of death.

The ultimate goblin king-beware his powers

I'm gonna have to drop out. The quality of the posts here are two low. It's been said to bring it up to a paragraph, but no one has.
I can't keep up with all the one-liners, so I am gonna drop out before it starts dragging my own writing down.

The fallen order

“Very well. Off we go.” He said, firing up his ship. “Take a seat, we are going to Jaku. I got a contact there who’s gonna sell me something I need for this next heist.” The ship rose out of the swamp and corrected itself. Becoming up right. “Off to Jaku.” He said as he took the ship out of the atmosphere. Flying to a safe distance from the planet before jumping to hyperspace.

Name
Tobis Black

Nationality
Australian

Age
32

Sexuality
Straight

Birth
4 July - Queensland

Appearance
Tobis looks especially grizzled for his age. Owing to the poor quality synth skin used to reconstruct his face from when he caught a frag grenade. There are scars around the top half of his face from the reconstructive surgery and cybernetic implantation.
On Duty, he normally wears NSF Rigger Armour. It is a set of powered armour that houses several small drones for the Rigger to deploy to their advantage. The Armour and Drones, as well as their capabilities, will be listed under equipment.
When off duty, Tobis normally wheres dark jeans or chinos. A white t-shirt and a leather jacket.

Height
6'1"

Personality
Tobis is often described as being a bit odd. Years of jumping his consciousness into machines have made him complacent with his normal body. Don't be confused though, he has suffered a lot of pain in his life. More than the human body can handle. Aside from the grenade that caused the reconstruction of his face, and most of his body, he has felt being blown up more times than he can count.
He hides this pain though. Not as well as he thinks, but he does try and hide it. He pushes his body harder than it should. On duty, often putting himself in more danger than would be considered necessary.
Off duty, he drinks. More than he should.

Role
Recon - "Rigger"

Riggers

Riggers are a fairly new idea to the battlefield. Riggers are people who use datajacks and in most cases, a special type of cyberware - called the "rigger control" - to interface with vehicles and drones. Often they also use a remote control deck.
Riggers who jack to a building security system to control the complete electronic building security are called spiders.
Riggers jump into machines to control them with their mind. While jumped in they feel like they are the machine, using the vehicle or drone's sensors to replace their own. This allows the rigger to control the machine at the speed of thought and with greater precision. The downside is if the machine takes damage the rigger will have to deal with dangerous levels of biofeedback. Likewise, the rigger may have to engage in cyber combat with other hackers that are attempting to hijack their devices.
Not to be confused with Hackers, Riggers require a direct connction with the thing they are Hijacking, or use "friendly" machines.

Equipment

Rigger Recon Armour

The Rigger Recon Armour (RRA) was designed by the NSF for Riggers. It id s powered suit that functions on a light exo-frame to increase mobility, while sacraficing protection.
The helmet contatins a Heads-Up Display (HUD). The right arm has a touch screen consol that allows deployment of drones from both the suits back Drone stroage area and NSF head quarters.

Drones

Steve

Steve is Tobis's main companion drone/support drone. Sporting a large array of sensors, Steve relays information to Tobis's HUD. Steve doesn't really get stored anywhere, but has a charging base in Tobis's apartment. Aside from charging when Tobis sleeps, Steve is always deployed.

Omni-Drones

Omni-Drones are small bar shaped drones. Basically the swiss army knife of Drone Technology. Tobis carries three.

RECON Drone

RECON Drones are small drones deployed for survaliance. They are normally used for indoors, or when Steve would draw too much attention in the skyline. These small drones bolster no weaponry, just cameras. Tobis carries just one.

Assault Drone

The assault drone folds up flat to be stored within the back pack of the RRA. Normally used to provide fire when pinned down, and exposing oneself would be considered hazardous. Only one is carried per Rigger.

Modular Weapon System

The Modular Weapon System (MWS) is the Rigger's weapon of choice. The weapon itelf can adapt to most conventional ammunituniton calibres. With attachments that can turn the Large Hand Gun into basically any weapon the situation will call for. Especially usuful for Recon Missions behind enemy lines, where NSF issued ammuntion can run dry quickly, so being able to take any and all ammunition from enemy soldiers is a huge bonus.

Other standard issue equipment includes

• Universal Data Jack
• Combat knife
• Two Frag Grenades
• One stun grenade

Biography
Tobis was born in Autralia. HAd a pretty good life, didn't really think about Japan or its conflicts that much as a child. He joined the Australian Defense Force when he was eighteen and served for five years as a Rigger before slipping up, and winding up on the wrong end of a frag grenade. After that, he was taken to hospital, and put on life support. Australia didn't really have the technology to rebuild him, so Tobis was left with two choices. Live the rest of his life in a bed, concious, but hooked up to life support, or get transfered to a Japanese Facility, and have a chance at a normal life.
So, he was transfered to Japan. They rebuilt his face, and most of his body, back to what it was before the accident. Tobi requested a sim-rig and translator be implanted, and so they were. He got the Sim-Rig because at the time he wanted to go back and join the ADF. The translator was because he had the hots for one of the nurses who was assissting him through rehab.
Tobis and the nurse ended up falling in love, and getting married. After Tobis finished his rehab, he didn't want to go back to Australia, so he opened up a Burger Joint in Japan.
He was living the good life, ended up getting citizenship after a few years. After two years of running the Burger Joint, he started fixing Drones on the side. It started just as a hobby. Mostly recreational stuff. A year later he got a contract from NSF for a full time job, so he sold his Diner. To work full time.
Two years later, the Jinrai kidnapped his wife. Told him to make them Drones. He did, ut ater dilevering the drones, they killed her anyway.
So, he used a back door he had created in the drones programming, and his simrig implant to take ove rthe drones and get his revenge. He then requested to be moved to a field position within the NSF.

Character Theme

Red Skies it's all a Game

The training with the Land Sliders was intense. The group of Earth Mages that had taken Boulder in had taught him a lot. Like how quick casting spells was faster, but if you really wanted to boost your spells, to learn the stances. They spent a while teaching him the stances. “Magic can be cast from the menu, but the real power comes from learning how it works. The menu spells simply cast the spell based on an average cast, with a tiny chance for perfect, which only happens on a critical hit, making it much more effective as far as crits go. Learn how to manually cast your spells, and they will be much stronger.” One of the Land Sliders explained during the training.
The training included fighting monsters, so he leveled up a few times. More than a few actually. He had gained more Earth specialty skills, as well as gaining a skill for a magma blast, and crystal barrage.
The training sequence had taken him to out of the starting town, then back. The Land Sliders dropped him off at the port, where he could travel anywhere, with the option to remain with them, but Boulder decided he was going to go and do his own thing.

The fallen order

“Quite simple jobs.” Zir started. “Repairs, installing upgrades. Making life a little more tricky for the Empire.” DD-3 beeped at Zir. He frowned behind his rebreather. “Another Imperial ship has landed. You better decide quickly.” He turned back to the control panel.

The fallen order

“I see you got my message.” He said without turning around, as he heard Blaine enter the cockpit. “Watch your head. The gravity switch gets some people.” Most of the cockpit faced up, as the ship landed on its back. The gravity playing meant that most of the ship felt like it was standing upright anyway. “So, are you staying aboard? I can promise good work, and better coin.” He continued prepping the ship for take off. “I could always use someone with your...” he paused and flicked a switch to his right before turning around. Above the switch he flicked appeared a hologram of Blaine, with his tools and weapons highlighted, including his lightsaber. “Particular set of skills,” Zir said gesturing at the scan on the security hologram. “Don’t take it to heart kid, I security check everyone as they board my ship.”
