*****
Here is the beginning plot line.

All of the characters have booked passage on a large transport vessel headed for Ariel. The ship gets attacked by Reavers.

Reavers






My Character:

Name:
Eryk Nellys
Age:
25 years old
Allegiance:
Independent
Physical Attributes:
Eryk is Blind after having his eyes torn out as a young man by Reavers. Regardless of this, he has the uncanny ability to be able to pilot ships and fight as though he has perfect eyesight.
Skills: Eryk is a brilliant pilot and an adequate mechanic. Because of his affliction, however he is rather useless at distinguishing humor from sarcasm, and visa-versa, making him rather humorless, and although he tries to make jokes on occasion, he is inept at it. Also because of his affliction, he is very memorable, making it hard for him to "disappear" when necessary. Mysteriously, his skills with melee and close range weapons such as throwing knives, grenades, and pistols are second to none. Long range weaponry such as rifles and heavy weapons are beyond Eryk's ability to use.
Preferred Weapons:
Swords and knives are his preferred weapons, but Eryk will use pistols and grenades when they're needed.
Personality Traits: Eryk is quiet and stern, but because of his ability to recognize facial movements, he finds it hard to joke, or understand them. He gets angry quickly and tends to take vengeance upon those who cross him.
Job/ Livelihood: Pilot & transport captain
Reason for being on the transport: His ship is currently in a dry dock on Ariel undergoing a major overhaul. He is looking for hire until his ship is repaired.


Alright, let's get started.

Name: Jasper Cooke
Age: 23
Allegiance: Independant
Physical Attributes: There isn't too much that's noticable about Jasper. He's average height and slim, with black hair and green eyes, and he wears the kind of clothes that allow him to blend easily with a crowd.
Skills: Jasper is a crack shot with most guns, a passable martial artist, and can disappear quickly and easily when he wants to. On the other hand, he is unbelievably jumpy and more than a little paranoid, so he tends to act before thinking, usually resulting in a crippling injury for whoever happens to look at him the wrong way.
Preferred weapons: He carries a short barrelled pistol with him always, slung in a holster just below his shoulder. He prefers his sniper rifle though, which usually remains unassembled in a black carry case. He can, if needed, assemble it in under a minute.
Personality traits: He's intelligent, and there was a time when he could read a person's intentions with uncanny precision and plan his response to them accordingly. Recently, however, he's been jumping at shadows, afraid to take most jobs and usually hurting most other employers out of fear.
Job/ livelihood: Mercenary, usually running security for smugglers or one the Outer Rim.
Reason for being on the transport: He's in between jobs and heard there was work on Ariel.

I love this show! I'll totally come back and edit this with a character later.
