Interstellar Cruise Ship Scorpio - OOC

[Enigma]

The Zodiac Line runs twelve interstellar cruise ships in a big-circle path that visits 21 planets in one year before returning to Earth. The Big Cruise offers incredible opportunities for tourism. The number of government & corporate officials and couriers transporting encrypted data that cannot be transmitted also offers incredible opportunities for interstellar espionage as well.

And some corporations have found it to be an excellent way to make troublesome vice-presidents or former employees vanish for a year.

However, as the ship begins its final preparations to leave orbit over Beaumonde, the first settled human colony, an humanoid alien prisoner with amnesia materializes on board in the ship's laundry. For her crimes against her people, she's been mind-wiped and banished - the first Wanderer they've sent out in generations.

Unfortunately her home world is the mythical planet Zayas, last known resting place for an incredible treasure-hold of technology from hundreds of worlds originally stolen by Dracosian Slavers over a millennium ago. When Zayans overthrew the Dracos Empire, they took the stolen collected knowledge home with them - and just as promptly, hid their world by means unknown.

For most people, believing in the legends of Zayas is like believing in the existence of Atlantis. While some believe it's merely some kind of publicity stunt being pulled by the Zodiac Line, government agents from the independent colony worlds and corporate agents are moving to secure the Zayan Wanderer girl for themselves.

For the Brotherhood of Man, a monastic order that runs hospitals, schools and does good works on the colonies, finding a Zayan Wanderer is like finding the Dali Lama. And despite being a monastic order, a member of the Brotherhood is trained in various martial arts. The tears of a Zayan Wanderer legend says can cure any sickness - which if true would make fortunes for the biotech firm that could pry the secrets from the girl's genetic code.

And to make things worse, a notorious freelance assassin with an unknown employer is already after the girl.


Characters would be passengers aboard the ship.

Player Name: X

Character Name: Nemix K'Aras

Deck/Cabin Assignment: Deck 5, Blue Star 527

Description:

Spoiler: just for reference 

A lanky and thin male 34 years of age (in earth years), though he looks younger because his race lives longer than the average human. He is humanoid in form and has grey fur with a fluffy crimson-tipped tail and the same pattern on his ears, and the tips of his neck-length hair. His eyes are yellow with crimson irises, he has a short muzzle and, slightly yellow, pointed teeth. His claws are similarly sharp, as is his mind. Nemix also bears several large scars under his fur. He normally wears black formal pants with informal sneakers, a vest with a collar that rises almost all the way up his neck, as well as a pair of arm warmers with chains.

Profession: Nemix is an unemployed stealth specialist for an organization that no longer exists.

Bio: As far as anyone on the ship knows Nemix is your run of the mill guy with a ship who is taking a break from single handing his ship across the galaxy. Under the surface he is a recently dismissed stealth specialist for a courier/hit organization that is now defunct. The company that took over his allowed some people to leave with their equipment and ship, minus one warp drive. This left Nemix with one option: go find a new job far away from his organization's old base, which was remote.

He heard about the Zodiac, that it had a hangar and that he could land and buy a ticket. His craft was a one story tall and compact jet black oval with hidden weapon systems, a smuggler's hold and no warp drive, he was allowed to land and passed inspection, then bought a ticket and set about relaxing.

That is where we find him at the start of the story.

[Enigma]

X, could you change your profession to "unemployed stealth specialist"? His employer may be defunct but he's still kicking around with the same skill set.

Your cabin is 527 - deck(5) + room(27).

Accepted, btw! ^ _ ^
