TURN 1 - DOWNTIME

This is Downtime, the moment for the GM to rest and for you to RP away.
You may describe your living quarters which are presumably not too far from your currently sole hangar.
There is a place called the Toad's Bay, which is a famous bar where HUB mercenaries like to meet up to widen their network, listen to rumors, and other stuff. Also drinks are half price for HUB mercenaries, which is neat.

There might be more interesting or uninteresting locations around, but you would have to ask or check.

Do bold your action if you do something you want me to see.

Name: Mercy Smith
Call sign: Caliber
Appearance: Young and bright-eyed. Wears a dusty, cordite-stained apron over various sets of sweaters and jeans.
Personality: Obsessed with the beauty of a well-maintained gun in action. Is very willing to tell you about how cool their collection of firearms is.

[Positive] "Cleanup" Expert - +1 Combat Skill +1 Medicine Skill / has friendly contacts in the underworld
Mercy Smith's line of work has given her certain insights with weapons and the human body, and how they interact together.

Rom-333 "Drifter" [BAD JOKE] - (Prophet)
Balance: 500 VC
Current MU: BAD JOKE
Hangar #1: BAD JOKE
----------

<Quarters description goes here>

Spoiler: Rom-333 "Drifter" (click to show/hide)

Name: Rom-333 [Prefers Drifter]
Call sign: Drifter

Appearance: Once one looks past the prematurely graying hair and patchwork of scars, Drifter appears to be roughly in his mid twenties. Short, stunted from a life of malnutrition, and lean, but noticeably muscular from a life of back breaking labor.
Personality: Distant and blunt. Dislikes crowds and strangers. Likes MUs, salvaging parts, mechanical maintenance and construction, and smoking, usually from his old captain's pipe.

Backstory: Born, and orphaned soon after, as one of countless 'Corporate Salvaging and Recycling Workers', affectionately known as Debt Slave Scrappers, his small size and disinclination towards complaining would see his childhood filled with dangerous work and hard labor. When he was teenager he would be conscripted by a pirate crew raiding his work site, spent a few years fighting and shipratting with them. Until the captain died, the crew divided and fought over what he left behind, and then split off their own ways. A life of experiencing one hardship after another. Home, Family, Friends... don't try to hold on, it's all ashes in the solar winds.

Traits:
[Positive] Experienced Salvager - +1 Mechanics / +1 Electronics / increased chance of salvaging parts
When it comes to finding value in a piece of scrap, "Drifter" is your man. His many years of experience has given him a knack for finding value in the most broken things.

Zereth "Sovereign" [SOVEREIGN] - (Hawk132)
Balance: 0 VC
Current MU: SOVEREIGN
Hangar #1: SOVEREIGN
----------

<Quarters description goes here>

Spoiler: Zereth "Sovereign" (click to show/hide)

Name: Zereth
Call sign: Sovereign
Appearance: A dark-haired young man in his early twenties, clean shaven and generally sharply dressed during the day-to-day, though he prefers his pilot suit. He's rather tall and of an athletic build.
Personality: Relatively serious, though with a sarcastic edge. Prone to letting loose during times of 'revelry'.
Backstory: A once prodigal son of one of the many Zereon families, Zereth was blessed and cursed with the privilege of being far, far down the inheritance order. With no real responsibilities, nor any true status, he coasted along with his life, making it through one of the prestigious military academies (though his father had to pull some strings to fast-track him through the marksmanship courses due to his atrocious aim), but all along, he was met with constant disrespect from his peers, siblings and family - all because he was born too late to matter. Having enough and taking up some drastic action, Zereth hijacked one of his family's Modular Units and escaped, relinquishing his family name before becoming a merc in a bid for glory and recognition... eventually ending up drifting to Begreris.
Traits:
[Negative] Runaway Aristocrat - negative relationship with the ZSO. Very negative relationship with a certain house of the ZSO.
The bonds of blood have a strong importance in the Zereon Star Order. To renege on these bonds is seen as a criminal offense...
[Positive] Relic Expert - +2 Exploration / increased chance of positive outcomes in ruins / might be able to identify relics
Zereth has lived his whole life surrounded with technological marvels of the old era. He is familiar with all these systems, to an uncanny degree, as if they were drawn to him.

Call sign: Sting
Appearance: Slightly overweight, loose clothing, with tangled lengthy brown hair and brown eyes
Personality: Cowardly, Cautious, fearful, and everything to do being afraid generally
Backstory: A lifetime of near misses of horrible death/crippling injuries has turned this man cowardly. Don't worry, still a capable Mech' pilot, just one who values their life slightly above earning big.

Derek can smell danger to a paranoid degree, which proves very handy in the everyday life of a mercenary. In a fight our of the safety of his Modular Unit, he will use the dirtiest tricks if it will help him survive.

Lu ██████ "Wrecker" [Skew] - (Egan_BW)
Balance: 4000 VC
Current MU: Skew
Hangar #1: Skew
----------

<Quarters description goes here>

Spoiler: Lu ██████ "Wrecker" (click to show/hide)

Name: Lu [REDACTED BY CONTRACT]
Call sign: Wrecker
Appearance: A rather beautiful woman with blood-red skin, pure black eyes, and a pair of horns jutting from her brown hair. Wears a white "body-hugging" space suit sans helmet, with blue and golden fabric strips added for regal distinguishment and to give the skintight garment some added modesty.
Personality: The Wrecker thinks most like a Corporate suit, maximizing profit at all cost. Only, she's not seeking profit for the sake of luxuries or influence. The only thing she cares about is the feeling of destroying a machine in a blaze of fire and consumed life, accompanied by the flow of LC into her wallet. Money buys destruction, and destruction buys money in a never-ending cycle of consumption. If anyone wants a world without this life cycle, Lu is against them.
Backstory: Progeny of [REDACTED BY CONTRACT] note: affiliated with Zereon. She found herself unimpressed with court intrigue and bloodline pedigree.
Traits:
[Positive] Engineered Resilience - +2 Combat / less likely to suffer harm during exploration
Lu has been specially engineered for life in space, granting her radiation resistance and an innate ability to photosynthesize. In addition, her reward receptors were modified to deliver increased amounts of dopamine on a kill.
[Mixed] Engineered Aggression - +1 to Offence and -1 to Defence after a successful kill (duration: 1 turn)
Lu's reward system was modified to deliver increased amounts of dopamine on a kill, urging her to seek the next one with psychopathic drive.

Mercy Smith "Caliber" [Reach Heaven] - (VermilionSkies)
Balance: 500 VC
Current MU: Reach Heaven
Hangar #1: Reach Heaven
----------

Spoiler: Quarters (click to show/hide)

A refurbished basement underneath a local firing range, bought from the owners through a local contact. The back wall has been converted into an impromptu rack, upon which she hangs the few firearms she was willing to bring along from her personal collection. Her bed consists of a mattress on the floor, covered in MU plushies, several of them recognizable as being modeled after her parents' machines.
The rest of the room is... barren, to say the least. She probably doesn't know how to cook, considering that a microwave and a minifridge make up the entirety of her "kitchen."

Spoiler: Mercy Smith "Caliber" (click to show/hide)

Name: Mercy Smith
Call sign: Caliber
Appearance: Young and bright-eyed. Wears a dusty, cordite-stained apron over various sets of sweaters and jeans.
Personality: Obsessed with the beauty of a well-maintained gun in action. Is very willing to tell you about how cool their collection of firearms is.
Backstory: Born to a pair of corporate cleanup agents, Mercy was guided towards following through with the family business by both their parents and a desire to fire the big gun.
Traits:
[Negative] Severe Astigmatism - -1 Pilot Skills and Job Skills at night or in low light conditions
Mercy Smith's eyes tire more easily than most, and she is occasionally subject to migraine headaches. Although she is used to it, her symptoms worsen at night and impair her activities. She might be able to cure her condition if she can scrounge up enough money for a surgery.
[Positive] "Cleanup" Expert - +1 Combat Skill +1 Medicine Skill / has friendly contacts in the underworld
Mercy Smith's line of work has given her certain insights with weapons and the human body, and how they interact together.

_{I spent most of my money on Reach Heaven's new guns, I only have 500 left.
Looking at Mercy's character, I kind of wish I had gone with a medium-gun focused trait. Through Violence, maybe?
Also! I love your formatting for this!}

[Prophet]

To call Drifter's room quarters would be disingenuous, it was an out of the way storage room that he rented for it's isolation in a back alley location. A small bed with a trunk, mostly containing industrial workwear and piloting gear, were shoved into a corner. With much more care, a side of the storage had been converted into a makeshift workstation, tools and supplies meticulously organized and cared for on the shelves closest to the work table. Further away, organized into their own sections, one could see several metalworking projects in various stages of progress, and another dedicated to a small collection of firearms, kept cleaned and inspected frequently.


Drifter saves visiting the Toad's Bay for another day, instead checking for stores and services in the area that would be relevant to his piloting or mechanical projects.

<Incoming communication>

A bald dark skinned man with almond eyes hidden behind square glasses appears on the communicator screen. He has a cheerful demeanor like that of an old friend.

Chun C: [Hey if that isn't Mercy Smith! How have you been?! Finally got around to coming to Begreris right? Let me send you something real quick then.]

Chun sent you a detailed map of the area to Mercy, far more than what was officially available.

Chun C: [Welcome to Begreris, and to the Mercurio Independent Complex. The whole place is practically neutral grounds in the midst of all the saber rattling between the megacorps and the BIA, all thanks to HUB's influence as you might have guessed. You are sure to meet all manner of folks here. Here are some interesting places that you should check out when you have the time:
- given you are a MU pilot, the Parts Market is a must see. Sometimes there are some daily exclusive deals as part of promotion campaigns. Well maybe not today as it is closed for renovation.
- the Black Market ran by CORSAIR, which offers usually exclusive goods at outrageous rates. If you get on the bad side of a corp and you absolutely need one of their parts, the Black Market is your best bet. You will need to get in CORSAIR's good graces though, as it's members only.
- the Jackaster Clinic, ran by a good acquaintance. If you need affordable surgery and maybe some augments, just check them out. I will refer you to them, they will give you a good price. Better bet than the licensed MIC Medical Center if you ask me.]

Lastly, her contact gave Mercy a rundown of a certain ongoing situation: the suspicious movements of the Planetary Reclamation Initiative, and the sightings of the Zereon Star Order.

Chun C: [Lastly, work offers should skyrocket in a few days or weeks. Yeah I know there already isn't a shortage of work for people like us, but things are about to heat up soon. According to the survivor of a CORSAIR raiding crew, the PRI has ramped up its attempts at securing supply lines to Begreris. They are preparing something BIG, that's for sure. And that's not it. The uppity ZSO nobles have also started moving, they contacted the BIA already.]

Chun C: [In my opinion, that must mean the relics of Begreris are much more valuable than what we initially thought. Or there is something else about that backwater planet that's attracting all this merry crowd.]

Chun C: [That's about it. If you need me for something, you can find me here.]

He sent her some coordinates pointing to the office of a small "cleaning" company "Chun's Cleaning Services". Surprisingly, they also offered actual janitor work.

<Communication pending...>

Drifter wandered towards the Parts Market, but his hopes were quickly dashed when he learnt the place was closed for renovations. Seems like they were improving the ramp system to withstand the weight of new heavy MU models. Oh well. The place was big enough to drift around, there was still time to find anything interesting. Right as he pondered his next move, a dwarf of a man hailed him. His appearance and demeanor didn't inspire trust, his rags were filthy with oil, and his body was half implants half man. He spoke with an incredibly rough accent, as if he was chewing on a raw potato.

Stokur U: "Yar' a MU pilot lookin' for parts? Nic-y hands. Fiddle with yar machine all ba yarself?"

He smiled - and surprisingly his teeth were clean and straight.
Stokur U: "Stokur U from SCRAP. Yar tha first MU-lot I see t'day that look'like he really KNOWS his machine, see? Nowadays MU-lots are all 'bout piloting piloting piloting. Anyway whaddya say about a tour?"

[Hawk132]

Zereth's lodgings were a rather spartan ordeal - a place in which he could comfortably sleep, research and investigate. A workstation in one corner - the usual resting place of his PDA, his pistol and various tools - a wardrobe and shelves holding various baubles in the other, and a bed in another. A secure lockbox next to it held some items from 'home' - including a carefully folded banner with his House's heraldry. Sometimes, he considered hanging it on one of the walls, but he always shot the foolish idea down in the end.
Zereth heads to the Bay, planning to get up to date with the rumors amongst the mercs and perhaps starting to build a proper contact network.

(You forgot to add the -10 to my ZSO relations.)

Spoiler: Quarters (click to show/hide)

At first glance, Derek's room may seem like a padded cell but with more furnishings. This is entirely correct, as every sharp corner occurring near the bed, walls, ... food containers, and sponges is covered with foam padding that ensures that he will not get bruised and nearly killed by a random falling plant pot. Which always seems to occur after suffering a minor injury...
Padded floors, walls, and surfaces of other furniture to prevent stubbed toes, which is not followed by a near miss with life-ending event but just generally sucks to have happen. Actually, his quarters might be safer than a padded cell, and sort of strange that the sponge needs padding, but that's the price to pay when life is out to get you.

Rename Longer Tommer to Long Tom please I realized my terrible mistake
Also hang out at Toad's Bay, and listen to any gossip concerning BIA and WMB.  Sting needs an ego booster!
Also Nakeen, shouldn't my skill modifiers be 1/4, 1/4, 1/4 considering my cpu is now balanced instead of specialized?

[BlackPaladin99]

I go out and schmooze with HPH and OBS

[Prophet]

Drifter greets the smile with a nod. The slight upturn of his lips the only faint indication of him feeling pleased about the only thing he can take pride in being noticed.
"I am Drifter, I've took apart and worked on MUs and Ships longer than I've piloted. A tour would be appreciated.

Drifter accepts the offer for a tour.
