This RPG doesn't really have a plot. Certain members can PM me about idead for missions. It's about these bounty hunters traveling space and communicate with each other via helmet radios (or if your bounty hunter doesn't have a helmet, headset radio).
RPG rules:
1) NO POWER PLAYING! Power playing is something I will not tollerate.
2) Don't get angry if your mission idea isn't used, the first person's idea will be used first and then the next runner up and so on.
3) Your character's appearance being changed by any member other than you is strictly prohibited.
4) No modern weapons and gear allowed, this is the far future, not 2006.
Character rules:
1) Can have only one Bounty Hunter.
2) There can be no rivalries between bounty hunters. Each bounty hunter is treated with respect.
3) You can have one arch enemy or two or three working as a team. Your enemies can be from any race and have as many forms of henchmen as you want as long as it doesn't surpass 10 forms or races.

He wears no clothes underneath, all alimons go without clothes if not wearing armor. Without his armor on he has red skin, green stripes, beige belly, green eyes and black claws. The spines on his armor are extremly sharp blades made of a flexible metal alloy, his real feathers on the back of his neck are bunched up inside his armor. His armor comes with an optional arm mounted plasma cannon and jet pack. His visor has a built ing HUD that monitors ammunition and sheild generators. His suit supplies 4 hours of oxygen for staying underwater or in the vaccum of space for extended periods of time. His ship has a small, 2 seated cockpit with a bathroom, kitchen, bunkbed and television with preprogrammed movies. His ship is equipped with photon torpedos and the most advanced warp drive technology.
If you have any ideas for a first mission, please PM me, thank you.

I'll wait for more members to join to start.

I'll join! ^^
Name: Rex
Age: 14
Race: Dracovol
Personality: Determined, persistent, upbeat attitude
Appereance without armor:
5 and a half feet tall omnivore, he has blue-green skin with light-blue from his neck down to his chest, belly and underside of his tail. He has dark blue eyes, four fingers with sharp claws and four toes with sharp talons. His head is similar to a LongNeck with a squared off muzzle similar to the Alimon's. He also has a scar over his right eye and a pair of wings on his back.
Appereance with armor:
Head: Dark blue helmet with a grey line starting from between his eyes following the edge of the helmet from left to right down both side of his head. A dark grey protruding line from the front to the back of the helmet.
Body: Protects him from the base of his neck down to his waist. Dark blue armor with grey plates over the ribs section for added padding and protection. Shoulderpads are bulgy with a red RX insignia on both of them. On his back he has a backpack-like device that protects the joints of his wings, from which two long wing-like poles can stick out to give him more mobility in flight. Stored into his chest plating is a powerful gem that is used to power up the armor.
Legs: From his knees down his feet, dark blue armor boots with two power jets built into them at the soles of his feet for hovering and prevent him from slippery surfaces, also helps him jump higher.
Arms: Dark blue armor from his elbows to his wrists, black gloves on his hands. His left arm armor is bulkier than his right arm so it can transform into a buster-like weapon.
The gaps of armor from his shoulder to his elbows, thighs to his knees, and his neck are protected with black thin armor.
Ship layout
Dark blue with four wings diagonally for enhanced mobility and speed. From the cockpit up to the top of the ship a black thick line and a red RX insignia on each wing.
Ship specs:
A rather small, comfortable one for a single resident. The cockpit only has one seat, in the back there's a comfortable room with a kitchen, bathroom, bed and TV for transmission messages and sattelite TV. It's small but comfortable for one traveler, which is how Rex likes it. The ship is equipped with dual lasers that can be charged up for a more powerful shot and its engine, while not equipped with a warp drive, is practically the fastest moving ship there is without the help of warp drive technology.

I got a charcater that I might use but his a captain of a science ship but half the time they run into bounty hunters time again and for a small side payment the captain would give information on sectors and planets but only for technology that new or blue prints for new tech below the radio of the SCF. just want to know if it ok to put this type of charcater up. if not I will try to think of something else
If it not ok I will edit the information on this point forward.

Name: Captain Threehorn
Race: Triceratops
Age: 20
Without Uniform: Yellowish scaled humanion triceratops muslcely built and with the usally three horns. creamy white on the front of torso and underside of tail.
Uniform: Red upper part of the top and lower part of top peach in colour, black trousers and black boots with four pips on the uniform top showing the rank of captain.
Ship: SCF Long Nebla. A Ship that part of the Saurain Core Federation that does resreach in new layers of space even though it lacks in weapons to many ships and fire power in the SCF the technology is still far ahead to many other races, with a cloaking shield that last 6 hours but senors that can see things coming in 20 light years and imaging systems that can zoom in on top of one life form really close if needed and with other senors to pick up the most diffcult of races.
only 179 meters long by 89 meters wide the ship isn't really that big and only hold a crew of 19. the ship has two wings and a engine on the back and top of the craft. the bridge near the front with part of the front spilting into three with a dish in the middle. Belly has two cannon ports and phaser array with the rear and below near the front below the dish a set photon lanchers. weapons almost never used since this ship don't go into combat.
Under the radio: the term of aiding bounty hunters with information of systems if they come across them or sometimes giving them a small hand since the captain and two crew members have combat expericses but for a price and that being technology that is new or never seen before or blue prints. while working under the radio the ship code name is knew as to many bounty hunters as 'Shadow Spy'

Meh, you character's good enough, Threehorn. Might just work for a mission idea I have.

Name: Kacie
Age: 20
Race: Alimon
Personality: Serious, gets angrily easy, good-hearted
Appereance without armor:
She stands little over 5 ft tall when standing on all fours. Her main body color is the normal shade of red. Her single good eye white with a green iris. The other eye was slashed during a fight, and she lose use of it. She has a blue lower jaw and tip of snout is also blue. The blue spreads on the underside of her neck, chest, belly, and goes underside her tail. The blue also colors most of her front and back legs. She has yellow that connects from the back of her head, goes down her neck, her shoulders, her back, her hips, along her tail, and goes to tip of her tail. This yellow forms short, sharply curved stripes as well.
Appearance with armor:
(http://www.geocities.com/inferdramon/Kaciearmored.JPG)
Armor provides 4 hours of oxygen underwater and in airless space. Armor comes with a jet that allows flight in space. Armor provides protection with sharp spines on back of neck and tail and sickle-claws connected to the tip of the tail, as well as spikes on the legs, horns on back of the helmet, and also provides long yellow claws with adjustable length. Armor itself does not come equipped with high-tech weapons.
Weapons of choice: Plasma Pistol and Plasma Rifle

(http://halo-fest.tripod.com/images/plasma%20rifle(2).jpg)
(Note: I hope it's all right if I use these two Halo weapons. ^^; )
Ship: Ship looks like a banshee (http://www.xbox365.com/gdb/images/EpyFAkZVFlBigSCLCZ/halo_banshee.jpg (http://www.xbox365.com/gdb/images/EpyFAkZVFlBigSCLCZ/halo_banshee.jpg)) except it's much larger, the wings are broader, and stick out further. The tip of the wings point upwards and create a jet propulsion that propels the ship forward. The ship is pitch black in color with a few red streaks along the cockpit. The cockpit has a window strip for the captain to see out of. The ship has a few extra rooms as well as a kitchen and a bathroom. The extra rooms include an entertainment room, a couple bedrooms, and a computer room. The ship has an automatic pilot, so manual control of the ship is not always required.

Alright, lets get started. There are no ideas for missions so far, so PM me if you have and idea. Be sure to read the rules, just in case you're new and haven't read them yet.
In the far future, illegal importing and space piracy is on the rise. In order to stop this scenario, four races have joined forces. The Alimons, the Dracovols, the Humans, and the Saurians. Bounty hunters are scattered throughout the galaxy and communicate via helmet radios. Each hunter has their own, personalized ship for long distance travel. And now...
(Anybody can PM me for ideas at this point)
-
(occ: can we be humans or do we have to be aliens?)
-
(It said in the intro to the story, Alimons, Dracovols, Humans and Saurians. And I forgot to mention this to f 22 "raptor" ace and I'll mention it to you, a bounty hunter's age is normally in their early teens and twenties. And I forgot, Alimons and Dracovols are not aliens but a form of dinosaur. And if you have any ideas for missions, please PM me.)

Tanner flies his ship through space with plenty of time to kill and looking for a bounty to hunt. Just then, a black ship with red stripes along the sides appears out of the corner of his visor.

-
(Dark, it's your que.)
-
Kacie, a red, blue, and yellow alimon that owned the ship, looked over at the green spaceship, and smirked. Turning on the radio to communicate with the other, she said, "Want to race?"
-
"Aaah What the hell, sure." says Tanner, "I don't really have much to do. How about, who ever makes it through the asteroid belt first wins?"
-
"You're on!" Kacie accepted the terms.
-
"Alright. Ready..." starts Tanner, "SETGO!" he quickly says as he guns his engines and goes darting into the asterioid belt.
-
On one of the larger asterioids the SCF Longnebla sits on the surface with the hanger platform raised with doors opened up a small craft moving across the surface hovering over it being polieted by a crew member and scans ran by another. one a humaniod stegursaur being the one running the scans and the other a humaniod brachiosaurus being the polit.
Captain Threehorn on the Bridge standing just in front of his chair watching from the view screen of the ship moving standly over the surface "Better be sure on those scans about the unknown rock ore on this asteriod. I don't like my time to be wasted. Keep a look out for any ships that might want to take advantage of our discovery if it is a major one." he look to the bridge crew they nod once then he turn to the screen "But this would make it quite a sight for mining ships and a SCF outpost if there is such new types of metal ore on these rocks".
-
a jet black YT-1300 streaked across the other side astroid belt. hmm an empty astroid belt and nothing to do. not quite empty as you think itis sir. what do you mean frank(first mate on charles ship) we're picking up two small vessels on the scanners. well lets see what there're up to. rodger that! as the ship races to see what the other ships are up to.
-
"CHARLES! GET THE F OUT OF THE WAY! OH SHIT!" Tanner yells into his helmet radio, he barely has time to slow down before ramming into the side of Charles's ship. Kacie's ship zips past them. "OH F***! I'M LOSING THE RACE!"
(Dark's que)
-
pay better attention to your scanners next time! these days you never know what kind of people you'll meet. damage report slight damage to the hull nothing serous though. hey tanner how bad is the damage to your ship?
-
"My ship is fine, no damage to the front hull." Just then, Rex's comes in to see what the fuss is about.
-
well wonder what we can sumggle in these parts? hang on i'm picking up a large ship on the scanners. probbaly just a sicence vessel. hey rex! still sore over that poker game?
-
"Rex! Listen, I need you to catch up to Kacie and win the race for me, okay?" asks Tanner.
(btw, f 22. It was Keni's turn, the rules stated no power playing allowed)
-
Rex soon finds himself navigating through an asteroid belt, his mind still clouded with the carnage and mayhem he went through in his last mission not too long ago. He recalls how an army turned against their planet, slaughtering anyone who speak against them and the inhabitants, and he was assigned to do something about it. How the colonel challenged him on a one on one battle, how he befriended a soldier only to have him betray him and attempt to murder him, how the general explained to him their motives, how wrong they were...
It was a tough mission, but he managed to accomplish the mission...
Rex closed his eyes as he felt the weight of his helmet, it was such an event he didn't bothered to remove his armor afterwards. He was worried any remains of the army would come after him and shoot him down when he least expect it.
"...Hm?" He opened his eyes after his mind registers the beeping of his communication going off in front of him, it has been going on for a while. He answers the transmission...
"Rex! Listen, I need you to catch up to Kacie and win the race for me, okay?"
Rex smiled, it's been a while since he last saw Tanner and Kacie. "Tanner...Been a while..." He closes his eyes with a slight smirk, "Sure..I'll win the race for ya."
Using his ship's radar he finds Kacie's ship, and with the speed of his ship it wouldn't be much problem winning the race. He increases his ship's speed and turns around to catch up to Kacie, inputting her ship's code into his comm and send her a transmission.
"Hey Kacie, long time no see! How about you race me now!?"
-
(I change this and await for Kacie to respond first then add my post ok?)
-
Kacie watched her monitors, and smiled when she could no longer see Tanner. "I knew it. There was no way he could beat me in a race with that spaceship." She leaned back, her tail resting over the side of the captain's chair.
Suddenly she heard the engine of another spaceship approaching her. She quickly looked with her one eye to see who was coming. She relaxed a bit when she realized it wasn't an enemy.
"Hey Kacie, long time no see!" She heard the dracovol, Rex, say. She smiled a bit and was about to respond when he continued, "How about you race me now!?"
"All right then..." She said into the transmitter. " She turned the power of her engine higher and she started to gain speed.
-
"Sir we got a problem" a comm officer a flying type humaniod dinosaur spoke out the wings now near the back with their own set of arms that not attached to wings. she looked at the course plots as well for the race "there seem to be a race of some sort I heard what each was saying and I think they going to enter the asteroid hole since it a tunnel going through one point to another."
"Damn it that where our craft is activate the warning beacon over the hole to show that the small craft is inside scanning and taking samples" Captain Threehorn orders and she activated the beacon and it giving out a audio warning to adviod that area.
-
Rex smiled as Kacie accepted and started picking up speed. Rex's ship has very high speed to make up its absence of any warp system technology, his ship is a formidable foe in a race.
"Alright then..." Rex mutters as he taps and pushes some buttons and switches in the cockpit, "Boosting G Diffuser systems, green...Let's give her a race.."
Rex smiled as he narrowed his eyes, feeling his ship gaining speed and catching up to Kacie's ship. Tilting to the right to dodge an asteroid, Rex chuckled a bit as his ship caught and started to pass by Kacie's ship. The race is on!
-
'Do not enter. Ship in path, change heading at once. repeat Do not enter. Ship in Path, change heading at once." Computerized voice spoke out to the racers
-
"Huh?" Rex blinked at the repeated voice through his comm, and not long after his radar picks up a ship, right in his path!
"Crud!" Rex cursed, his race with Kacie will have to be some other time. Slowing his ship's speed he quickly makes a turn to his left, changing directions.
-
Kacie had ignored the warning. "Are you chickening out?" Kacie said, looking behind her. She waved her yellow-clawed hands. "Bye!" She turned around and braced to win the race. But as soon as she opened up her green eye, she realized why Rex had stopped at all. "Bye....? Oh no!" She puts on the brakes to rapidly slow down her ship, and she makes a left turn as well, the same direction Rex was going.
-
Captain THreehorn sat in his chair with a deep sigh of relief "another 100 meters that ship with our own shuttle would of been destoryed..."
"Yes Freefall... very lucky..." Captain shook his head "Team alpha are you done?"
"Yes sir this is Stegs we coming back up to the ship now we got some rocks that the saurian core will love to hear about and I am sure if news get out we will be come the bounty for this type of metal ore" Stegs replied as the polit lands the ship in the docking bay then the Longnebla lifts off and leaves the belt and high speeds.
"Stegs you over react no one knows of the rock ore, we will leave and head to the nearest outpost just leave a beacon to claim the astiord field" Captain spoke out and the ship drops a claims beacon of the belt and goes into warp
(changed post)
-
Rex sags in his chair with a deep sigh, he barely saw that ship in radar and with the speed he was going he was seconds away from impact. He rubs his forehead and look around, seeing Kacie following him, she made it too.
"Everything OK, Kacie?" Rex contacted her via communication.
-
As her heart slowed down to its original pace, Kacie pressed the button and spoke into the mic. "Yes, I'm okay." She was still breathing a bit heavily from the sudden rush of adrenaline she felt when she nearly rammed into that ship.
"So what happened to Tanner?" She asked, realizing Tanner was still nowhere in sight. Surely he would've caught up by now, she pondered.
-
Rex sighs in relief as his shoulders sag, gripping the handles of the ship's controls. He turns the ship around a well 180 degrees and sets on the breaks, keeping the ship to a complete halt to face Kacie's.
"Close call..." Rex whispers as he takes off his helmet, wiping dots of perspiration from his forehead before answering Kacie's question. "Last I saw him he was next to another ship, probably rammed into it by accident."
-
i'm still getting used to the controls of this ship. i got it a month ago. well i'm gonna run a dianostic on my ship to see what else was damaged in the collision.
-
(This wasn't how I planned it. Keni PMed me his first mission idea and I'm using it.)
Tanner zooms away from the asteroid belt in search for a bounty to hunt. He comes across the planet Elysium and decides to check it out, he heard of some suspicious activity going on there and he radios in Kacie and Rex for help, "Kacie? Rex?"
(Sometimes a member's character won't be used in a mission, if this happens, don't get angry and swoop in to take over. I can't stress this enough, if you have a mission idea, PM me first before starting it because there's already a mission underway. Keni PMed me first so I'm using his mission idea. If you PM me about the idea for a mission now yours will be the next runner up.)
-
"Eh?" Rex noticed another beeping coming from his comm, another transmission? Pressing another button the comm changes transmission to the second person trying to contact him, showing the screen turning on to transfer a live video from Tanner.
"Tanner," Rex begins, "Where are you? You're not showing up on my ship's radar scan."
-
"Oh, sorry. I'm in far orbit above the planet Elysium, not far from the asteroid belt, I think there's some suspicious activity going on here." replies Tanner, feeling a little embaressed.
-
"I see..." Rex replied as he closed his eyes while putting back on his helmet, "Planet Elysium, huh? Suspicious activites? Alright, I'm on my way."
-
"Ok, thanks," Tanner says as he switches off his helmet radio and turns it on again, this time to contact Kacie, "Kacie? Are you there?"
-
Kacie heard the transmittion, and answered, "Yes I'm here, Tanner."
-
"I need you to come help Rex and I, There's some suspicious activity going on at the planet Elysium. We need to check it out." says Tanner.
-
"Okay." Kacie said, and she turned on her digital map. It was a 3-D hologram of the immediate galaxy she was in. Expertly, she picked out Planet Elysium, and her current position. She coordinated the best route, and programmed it into her ship's computer. Not long after she did this, the ship started to change course and headed towards Elysium. "I'm on my way."
-
"Ok, the planet isn't far from the asteroid belt." says Tanner, just then, a space pirate cruiser appears on his radar. He takes evasive action by activating his ship's camoflauge. Just then, Rex's ship appears on radar. "Rex! Careful, there are several space pirate vessels in orbit. i have my camoflauge on, that's why you can't see me!"
-
Rex manually operated his ship toward the planet Elysium. It wasn't far off from the asteroid belt, and quickly spots it.
The planet is a beautiful green jungle planet where hundreds of different species live, the planet is beautiful for a vacation and just release their wild side. Rex smiles as he sees the planet, although his smile drops as he sees no sign of Tanner, and just then a transmission clears that all up.
"Rex! Careful, there are several space pirate vessels in orbit. i have my camoflauge on, that's why you can't see me!"
"Ack!" Rex yelped as he decreased his ship's speed immediatly and stopped from getting any closer to it, his radar already picking up several unknown ships orbitting about the planet. Rex gulps as he pressed a few buttons on the cockpit and activate the ship's twin laser weaponry just in case. "Definetly something going on..." Rex mutters. He turns on his comm and sends a transmission to Kacie, "Kacie, several space pirate vessels are near the planet, keep a distance from it so you won't be caught." He then changes transmissions to Tanner, "So, Tanner, how do we go about this to land on the planet?"
-
"I don't know, does your ship have optical camoflauge?" asks Tanner.
-
Rex sighs, "Negative. My ship is equipped with dual laser technology, a high mobility engine and can gain practically the fastest speed possible. I can easily outmanuever and shoot them down though."
-
"Ok, how about we put some distance between us and the planet until Kacie arrives?" says Tanner.
-
Kacie nodded when Rex gave her the warning message. She slowed her speed just a little, and started to travel inside the asteroid belt. This would provide a little cover until she reached the planet.
-
Rex nods at Tanner's suggestion, "Roger. My radar already picked up Kacie's ship in the asteroid belt. Let's go."
-
"Ok." says Tanner as he flys towards the edge of the asteroid belt and switches off his camoflauge when he was at a safe distance.
-
Kacie emerged out of the asteroid belt, careful not to be spotted. Since she also lacks camouflauge, she decided to find Rex first. Once she spotted his ship, quietly, she flew up next to it. She carefully spoke into the radio, "So what's the plan?"
-
"The plan," Tanner's ship flies in, "Is that we descend to the surface of the planet and find out what's these space pirate bastards are up to."
-
(ok I will just add this bit in about the SCF on the other side of the belt. away from the planet)
on the other side of the belt feather away to the planet two SCF ships and 3 bigger ships all opening up with constuation ships coming out with many pieces of station. the SCF already starting on the strengthing of their claims of the astorid belt starting to build a Outpost. the other two ships there to protect the three builder ships.
-
Rex remained quiet as he turned around and heads back toward the asteroid belt, wondering and worrying why space pirate vessels are orbiting on the beautiful planet, Elysium. Maybe illegal hunts again, or maybe to destroy the environment to inhabit the planet with outsiders.
Rex moves his gaze to his right as he sees the camouflage device from Tanner's ship being shut down, allowing visibility to Tanner's ship. Rex couldn't help but smile as he sees Tanner's ship again for a while of not seeing it.
"Hmm..." Rex hums as he closes his eyes with a smile, "Really been a while..." He opens his eyes again as they approach the asteroid belt, and no sooner as they go in he spots Kacie's ship.
"So what's the plan?" Rex hears Kacie's transmission.
"The plan," Tanner's transmission was next, "Is that we descend to the surface of the planet and find out what's these space pirate bastards are up to."
Rex listens and speaks his say, "Problem is that we got vessels orbitting around the planet. If they spot us they'll inform whoever they have on the planet and it could get nasty. We can either fly past a blind spot and land on the planet or we can just shoot them down."
-
"We can descend on the dark side of the planet, where the sunlight is blocked out. We'd have to turn out all of our lights so it's harder for them to spot us." says Tanner through his helmet radio, "We descend to the surface, we find out what these pirates are smuggling and we bust them."
-
Rex smirks, "Now you're talking! Sounds like a good plan!" He moves his gaze to Kacie's ship, "You're up for this, Kacie?"
-
Kacie listened to what Tanner said, and nodded. "Got it." She flipped a switch and her lights began to dim until there was just enough for her to see, but little enough so it was hard to spot. She then responded to Rex's question, "Yes I am."
-
"Alright, lets go." says Tanner as he starts for the planet with Rex and Kacie following. They reach the planet in about fifteen minutes, "Alright, lets get to the dark side of the planet before we get close enough for them to spot us." says Tanner as he switches off his lights and speeds up.
-
Rex nods and follows Tanner back to the planet, seeing that beautiful green planet once again, but as expected his radar picks up the vessels again.
"Alright, lets get to the dark side of the planet before we get close enough for them to spot us."
Rex flips some switches in the cockpit and the lights of the ship go offline. His visual is acceptable enough to manuever well, even with mostly all the lights offline. Increasing his ship's speed to keep up with Tanner, he gives a sigh, "Alright, let's do this."
-
The red, blue, and yellow alimon pilot followed behind Rex's ship, and she kept a wary eye out for anything that could mean trouble for their mission. She followed Tanner's example and turned off her lights completely, and she picked up a bit of speed, but not so much to accidentally ram into Rex's ship.
-
"Steady... Steady..." Tanner says to himslef as he comes around to the dark side of the planet and barely missing space pirate vessels, "Alright, we're entering the atmosphere! Heat sheilds up!" The alimon in brown and green armor says as he hits a switch, which activates a force feild around his ship. The heat sheild turns an orange glow as Tanner flies his ship against the friction of the atmosphere.
-
Rex nods at Tanner's report of nearing the atmosphere. He flips a switch to active the shields and tightly grip the handles of the controls. Soon the roar and rumble starts as they near and enter the atmosphere, feeling the temperature steadily rise. The shields hold well, but Rex couldn't help but grit his teeth at the rumble, he's pretty paranoid when entering into planets' atmospheres, but he always manages to keep his cool.
-
Kacie responded by turning on her Heat Shields as well. She steadied her ship as she started to break into the atmosphere. She struggle to keep her ship on a steady course. She hoped the Heat Shields would hold up until they reached a safe part of the atmosphere.
-
Just then, a space pirate cruiser picks up the trio on radar. A red dracovol with a yellow belly sitting at the radar screen turns to what appears to be a lead alimon who's face is hidden in the shadows. "Sir," starts the dracovol, "We have picked up three unidentified craft entering the planet's atmosphere. I think one of these ships we might have encountered onece before."
"Hmm," replies the alimon in a dark and hissy voice, "Is one of those ships green and brown?"
"Yes sir."
"We meet again, Tanner."
"Hang on to your helmets!" says Tanner as they hit some turbulent winds. They pass through the clouds and are now flying low over the rainforest canopy.
-
Rex gritted his teeth as his ship shook more violently as they got closer to the surface. Seconds later just like that the shake stopped and finds himself hovering and flying low over the planet. Rex could only grin from ear to ear at the sight, a long time since he's seen natural life...
"Already feels like home," Rex joked to Kacie and Tanner, "Let's find ourselves a spot to land."
-
Kacie smirked at Rex's comment. "Just make sure you don't get too comfortable, if you know what I mean." She told Rex. She scanned the area for a place to land. "Tanner," she said, "where should we land?"
-
Tanner zooms over what seems like an endless jungle, soon he spots a small meadow to land in, "Over there! That looks like a good landing spot."
-
Rex could only chuckle at Kacie's reply, that is so like her. He stops chuckling as Tanner points out a good place to land. "Looks good to me."
Lowering his ship's speed he slowly lowers to the ground and, with a push of a button, the power of the ship's engine switch to the lower engines to keep the ship hovering. He makes sure there's enough room for Kacie's and Tanner's before slowly lowering down his ship to the ground and make a safe landing.
After the landing he opens the cockpit's window and hops off his ship, safely landing on the ground. He makes sure the ship is secured before walking toward Tanner's and Kacie's ship while patting his armor from some dirt and stains on it from his last mission.
-
Tanner's ship hovers about 20 feet above the ground, A circular hatch on the belly of the ship slides open and a luminescent green beam shoots from the ship to the ground and slowly lowers Tanner to the ground. When he steps out of the tractor beam he taps a few buttons on the plasma cannon on his arm, the beam disapears and the hatch closes.
-
As Kacie prepared to land the ship, she quickly put on her suit. The planet may have an atmosphere, but her suit provided protection against attackers, and she really needs it now. As the front of her helmet slid shut, she grabbed her plasma pistol and plasma gun and hooked them to her armor.
Her ship landed quietly beside Tanner and Rex's ships. A hatch opened up and she climbed out, walking on two legs instead of four as she would if she wore no armor.
-
"Alright, lets runs some diagnostics." says Tanner as he taps a few buttons on his helmet, "Ok, night visor is working, X-ray, thermal. All of my different visions are working." Tanner squeezes his right wrist to activate his jet pack and brings it to a hover, then switches it off, "Ok, jet pack is working. Kacie, can you shoot me so I can confirm my sheild's automatic recharge is working?"
(f 22 "raptor" ace, your character can't be used in this mission. Don't post anything)
-
(i understand)
-
(Oops, I blew up while you edited your post, sorry. ^^; )
-
Kacie nodded and lifted up her plasma pistol. She pressed the button, allowing green energy to charge. When she felt it was perfect, she released the button, allowing a small green energy particle ball to hurl its way towards Tanner.
-
The green energy ball impacts with Tanner's armor and small sparks are shooting from his armor as his armor power meter flashed red for zero, then it slowly started to climb from red, to orange, to yellow, to green, "Ok, it works." says Tanner, "Now to run a weapons check." He points his plasma cannon at a tree and holds down the trigger to over charge his weapon. A ball of yellow energy forms at the barrel of the gun, he lets go of the trigger and a huge ball of yellow energy shoots towards the tree, it impacts and burns a hole about a foot in diameter in the tree trunk. He plugs a few rounds into it and confirmes that his weapon is working, "Ok, diagnostic checks are finished."
-
Rex was checking on his armor's power supply and diagnostics on his bulkier left arm armor. He checked on the readings in a small screen on it, checking on the buster energy output, the armor's status condition, and of course, above all, the power supply of the power gem built into his body armor platting, what gives his armor its power for the buster and life support of it.
'Everything seems fine.' Rex thinks to himself as he hears but ignores Tanner's request for Kacie to shoot him. Rex could only smirk as he shakes his head. 'Good ol' Tanner...Well, looks like I'm 100% good and ready.'
Rex turns off the screen and turns to Kacie and Tanner. The Dracovol couldn't help but grin slightly as his eyes almost narrow into slits as he sees both their armors. Rex always liked the designs of their armors. And while his own armor has worked fine for him, he can't help but sometimes feel a bit of jealousy toward the sleek looks of their armors.
Rex chuckles a bit after Tanner shoots at a tree and leaves a hole behind on it and sarcastically remarks: "Nice way to show concern on protecting wildlife."
-
"Awwww, come on Rex. It's just one tree. What else is there to test my weapon's diagnostics on? You?" Tanner chuckles.
-
The female alimon chuckled a little. "I don't think one missing tree will do anything, Rex." She said. She then pressed the button that was on her chest and on the clear part of her helmet came images. These images were telling her how everything in her suit was, and whether or not there was a malfunction in someway. As they flashed by, she did not noticed anything strange or abnormal in particular.
"Everything seems to be in order." As the messages stopped, she pressed the button again. The flashes disappeared.
-
"Heheh! That's what they all say." Rex joked after chuckling to Tanner's and Kacie's responses. He scans around his environment and looks at his friends, "Well, let's go find out what these space pirates are up to!"
-
"Alright," says Tanner as he readies his weapon and starts for the jungle. I have a feeling that they might be after some sort of valuable natural resource." says Tanner as he looks around at the space pirate vessels either ascending into space or descending to the planet surface.
-
Rex nods and starts into the jungle, scanning around and staying on his toes in case of any attacks. The wildlife of this planet deeply reminds him of his home, and it also feels like home. His trance breaks as the metallic thump of his armored footsteps echoes into his ears.
"I wonder what kind of resource they're after..." Rex comments as he looks around, "This place does ring a bell however...I just can't put my claw on it..."
-
Tanner looks up to see a strange looking friuts growing from the tree branches, they look much like bluish green oranges. "Hmm," Tanner turns on his jet pack and he flies up to the the fruits growing on the tree, he picks one and descends back to the ground, "These are Dracalan Fruits, I had one of these when I was in the Omicron Persei system in the Oldinar nebula. God they're expensive, 61 credits a peice. These fruits are a high source of nutrition and vitamins, just one of these can boost a nine year old child's immune system for six months. It's fed to infants and small children to keep them from catching deadly diseases. This is where they're coming from." says Tanner as he peels off the skin and hands a peice to Rex and Kacie. Then he looks up at the space pirate vessels descending from orbit, these god damn space pirates must be harvesting this planet until it's completley gone. If they get away with this, our galaxy's youth will be in terrible danger of catching the most horrible diseases imaginable."
-
(add it later)
-
(Not really ok at the moment. Maybe a little later. ^^; )
-
"No wonder this place looked familiar..." Rex comments as he looks at the fruit piece Tanner gave him. "I saw pictures of a forest where these fruits came from in a book on one planet..." He sniffed at the fruit and scented its sweet aroma, then looked at Tanner. "We gotta stop them fast! We can't let them get away with these treasures!"
-
"Right!" Tanner readies his plasma cannon and ventures into the jungle, "Damn, I wish I should have gotten my missile upgrade from captain Threehorn before I left." says Tanner angrily as he pushes away vines and branches with his weapon. Just then they see a dracovol and alimon with the insignia of a skull with a sword impaling it from the jaw up branded onto their shoulders up in a tree picking the Dracalan fruit from it and dropping them into baskets below. "HEY! FREEZE!" yells Tanner as he points his plasma cannon at the alimon and dracovol pirates.
-
Without saying a word, Kacie pulled out her Plasma Pistol and leapt beside Tanner, and held out her weapon, threatening to fire at will. She would not fire, though, unless the red and green alimon gave the word.
-
Rex followed Kacie and Tanner through the jungle, taking in on the sights sorrounding him. It's been a long time since the kid has seen wildlife again, and like he said before he already feels like at home...
Rex snaps out of it as they find space pirates taking down Dracalan fruits. Rex's eyes narrowed as he pressed a button his left arm armor, the engineering inside of the bulky piece of armor starting up, the structure changing shape into a barrel and muzzle of a buster cannon as his hand dissapears in the change, his left arm now a buster cannon, his left hand inside of the buster gripping the trigger to fire.
He stands alongside Tanner and Kacie with his left arm aimed at the space pirates, taking good aim as he holds the buster with his right hand for better aim.
-
The alimon and dracovol look down at their weapons they shouldn't have left at the base of the tree. "Kacie, retreive their weapons." Tanner says as he points to the two plasma pistols laying at the base of the tree trunk.
-
Nodding to Tanner, she went to the tree base and grabbed the weapons that lay there. She walked back to Tanner, and said, "Got 'em."
-
"Good" he says as Kacie drops the guns at his feet. Tanner looks up at the alimon and dracovol with a mean stare, then he stomps on the guns, crushing them both beneath his feet.
-
"Who do you work for!?" Rex demanded as he kept his buster cannon trained at them, ready to pull the trigger on any of them for any sudden movements. "Just what do you exactly planning to do with the fruits!? What are your plans here?!"
-
"W-WE'ER NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING! YOU CAN TRY BUT WE WON'T BUDGE!" yells the Dracovol.
-
"Space pirate scum!" Rex spits out, half expecting such reply from his own kind. "Do you realize what you're doing by taking away all these fruits!? Stop this nonsense before the whole universe suffers the consequences!!"
-
"Or would you rather do things the hard way?" Kacie said coolly as she leveled her Plasma Pistol with the evil dracovol's head.
-
The space pirates don't respond. There's a long pause before Tanner had it, "Alright, enough with this shit." He takes aim at the alimon's head and charges his plasma cannon, "If you don't talk, your buddy here gets it!"
"OK! OK! WE'LL TALK!" screams the alimon.
"MORON!" yells the dracovol as he chucks a peice of fruit at the alimion's head.
"Ouch! Hey! Don't you want me to live?!"
"Well, kinda."
"CUT THE CRAP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THIS VALUABLE FRUIT??" Tanner interrupts.
"We plan to smuggle them off the planet and sell them for a radiculously high price on the black market. The Dracalan fruits are known to..." The alimon is interrupted by Tanner.
"Yeah we know already. Who is your leader??"
"We work for some alimon named Captain Arcturus Kerigan."
"Arcturus?!" responds Tanner in disbelief.
-
"Arcturus?" Kacie repeated softly. "Who is Arcturus?"
-
"My arch enemy. We ran into each other a couple times. I thought he was dead, I activated the self destruct sequence on his ship in our last encounter. Apparently he manage to escape in time." says Tanner.
-
"Who...?" Rex inquires. He moves his gaze to Tanner as he starts talking about this Arcturus guy, apparently someone who hasn't been nice to Tanner. Once presumed dead by Tanner, seems like the guy is back.
"To sell them off just like that with stupidly high prices!!" Rex snarls as he moves his gaze back to the space pirates. "I oughta shoot the two of you dead right here and now!!" He couldn't help but charge the energy inside his buster, and while charging the buster can't shoot unless Rex presses the pressure sensitive trigger all the way down, which he's debating on whether or not to do it the second the buster finishes charging.
-
"Wait, why kill them when we can take them hostage and force them to take us to Arcturus?" says Tanner as the yellow ball of energy at the end of his plasma cannon dwindles.
-
Rex growls as Tanner tells him the better idea of leaving them as hostages to lead them to the big cheese of this operation. He really wanted to shoot the Dracovol's head off for siding with such low ground scums. He stops charging his buster as the charged shot dies down to nothingness, slowly lowering his weapon away from the two pirates.
-
"Aww come on, Rex. We can kill them afterword." says Tanner with a wink. What Tanner just said sent chills down the alimon and dracovol's spines. "Or, better yet. Torture them."
-
"......." He stayed quiet though, Rex is not the kind of hunter to torture his captives. He just kept glaring at the Dracovol and Alimon, a glare that could probably kill with just a look.
-
Kacie grinned at the thought of torturing these wrong-doers. She kept her gun leveled up with the evil dracovol's head. She didn't say a word.
-
"GET THE F*** DOWN FROM THERE BEFORE I VAPORIZE YOU BOTH OFF THE FACE OF THIS PLANET!" Yells Tanner as he points his weapon at the two pirates.
"Ok! Ok! You win!" yells the dracovol as he spreads his wings and floats down from the tree. The alimon slowly climbs down the tree to the ground. "Now tell us where your leader is!" demands Tanner.
"Uuuh, his ship is in high orbit above the planet. You wasted your time coming down here." snickers the Dracovol.
(Keni's turn)
-
Rex couldn't take much more from this Dracovol's attitude, it angered seeing his own kind acting this way and so snotty and evil.
He raised his buster arm and shoots at a very minimal non-dangerous power at the Dracovol's shoulder just to hurt him.
"Cut the smartass attitude, pirate scum!" It's rare when Rex curses in any way, but this time he just couldn't hold it in.
-
"Heheheheheheheh!" the alimon pirate laughs inappropriatley as he sees his comrad clutching his wound. Just then, Tanner shoots the oblivious alimon in the head, burning a huge, clean hole right through the alimon's forehead. "Hehe yourself." says Tanner as he points the muzzle of his plasma cannon at the already injured dracovol's snout, "One more remark like that and you'll wind up like your colleague here."
-
The Dracovol kept his buster trained right at the Dracovol pirate's head, his finger itching to pull the trigger on him. "Next time I won't shoot your arm! Cooperate with us or I'll personally blow your head off or rip it apart from your body with my claws! Whichever I feel like!"
-
Kacie grinned. "He's not the only one who'd like to rip off your head." She said to the dracovol. "So what will it be? Cooperate with us...or an appointment with pain and even...death?" As she said death, it was breathed through her teeth menacingly.
-
"I don't think we should give him a chance." says Tanner angrily. The dracovol looks at the three bounty hunters with a frightened look on his face.
-
That comment Tanner did was like music to his ears, Rex held up his buster a bit and aimed it back at the Dracovol's head. He was ready to let go of a shot...And yet, he couldn't bring himself to do it...Something about the Dracovol's frightened look...
"......"
-
"Aaaah, look at him," says Tanner as he lowers his plasma cannon, "He's scared silly." The Dracovol looks at the two male bounty hunters, Tanner in his green and brown armor and Rex in his blue armor with a confused look. He was prepared for the worst and is surprised to see that Tanner and Rex didn't shoot. Tanner walks over to the Dracovol and whacks him upside the head with the end of his weapon, knocking the pirate out cold.
-
Kacie put away her weapon and walked up to the Dracovol pirate. Her single eye glared at the Dracovol with disappointment, and slight hate for what he was doing. Lifting her clawed foot, she gave a forceful kick to the Dracovol's side, enough to flip him over. She did not cut him with the claws on her feet.
"So...what do we do with him?" She asked, not taking her eye off the pirate. She was tempted to break his arm, but refrained from doing so.
-
Rex felt more at ease as Tanner merely just knocked the Dracovol out cold, regardless their affiliate Rex still felt some compassion toward his own species. He lowered his buster arm and turned it back to normal as Kacie inquired on what to do with the Dracovol.
"Maybe take him prisoner or something," Rex suggested, "Maybe he holds some information about this Arcturus guy and about their operation on Elysium and other places."
-
"Good idea." says Tanner, "We can lock him up in the cargo bay of my ship." says Tanner as he hoists the Dracovol onto his shoulders, activates his jet pack and flies up above the forest canopy, flies back to his ship and activates the gravity life on the belly of the ship. He steps into the beam slowly ascends into the ship, takes out a roll of duct tape, ties up the dracovol and locks him in the cargo bay. Then he leaves the ship and rockets back to Kacie and Rex. He lands in front of the red, blue and yellow alimon and the blue dracovol, "Well, got that taken care of."
-
Rex stayed quiet as he double-checked his buster and armor parameters as Tanner went off to store the Dracovol in his ship. His buster and armor are 100% in power as expected, and the power gem built into his chest armor platting is powered up smoothly, no signs of powering down. Everything seems in order.
He then hears Tanner coming back. Rex smirked a bit, "That was fast."
-
"Well, we aren't very far away from out ships so of course it's fast." Tanner chuckles.
-
"Heh!" Rex gave a slight smile, but then he brushed it off and slightly raises his buster, his right arm over his left arm's biscep. "Alright hunters, let's move out and stop these pirates' operation! First secure the fruits, and then we make our way to Tanner's arch enemy's ship!"
Granted Rex is getting ahead of himself and acting like the leader of sorts, but he just can't get help in getting carried away in missions with his friends.
-
(Don't worry, everybody's the leader.)
-
Kacie chuckled softly. "Good ol' Rex." She said as she slightly nudged him with one of her "hands". "Getting a bit carried away as usual" She joked. But she knew that he was right, and it wouldn't matter who ordered who to do what. She took out her plasma pistol again and walked about a foot away from Rex and Tanner to get a better look at the terrain.
She turned around and walked back towards them. "But Rex is right though. We still need a plan, and figure out exactly how we're going to do this." She looked at first Rex, and then Tanner, and asked, "Any ideas?"
-
"Heheh" Rex chuckled at Kacie's response. Though now he's up against Kacie's question of any ideas of what to do.
Rex shrugs, "Well, we could seperate and with stealth search for the space pirates still on the planet. And we either shoot them dead or hold them hostage to get information, the decision is up to us."
-
"I think one hostage is good enough," says Tanner, "They might be ordered to shoot us on sight, so lets just kill them all."
-
Name: Chris
Age: 15
Race: Alimon
Personality: Sarcastic, extremly loyal, will never break a vow.
Appereance without armor: Deep red markings around eyes, which streak back down his neck. He's mostly black, but the very tip of his tail is white. One of his feathers was burnt off, and it never grew back. The other feathers alternate between black and red. His eyes are amber in color.
Appereance with armor: Chris's armor hugs his body well, with reinforced metel spikes encasing his feathers. His armor is streaked with red and black. The only places where his armor dosen't hug his body is his shoulders, which have plasma cannons mounted on them. He has a plasma pistole hidden by his waist.
-
(Welcome Chris!)
"Alright then, let's do this!" Rex smirks. "Our ships are east of here. Kacie can go to the north, Tanner can go to the south and I'll go to the west. Sounds good?"
-
"Sure." Kacie replied, but then thought about Tanner. Perhaps he had another idea. She turned towards him. "So you okay with this plan?"
-
"Yeah, I'm ok." says Tanner, "It's good to share ideas. As long as he doesn't get too carried away."
-
The Dracovol flinches and chuckles nervously after Tanner's remark. "Heheheh...Eeeh...I'll make a struggle not to..." Rex grinned nervously before turning to the wilderness. "Alright, now's a good a time to commence this mission! Stay on guard, stay on communication and bring them hell!"
He looks over his shoulder and gives a thumbs up to Tanner and Kacie, "Let's do this!" And with that, he takes off to his direction. Mission start!
-
Tanner cocks one eyebrow, "Oookayyy." He turns around and heads off in one direction, makes a running start, and activates his jetpack. He shoots above the forest canopy to see all of the space pirate cruisers ascending into orbit or descending to the ground.
-
Kacie shook her head a bit before turning to walk toward the north. She readied her weapon, holding it in a ready-to-fire position. "This will be fun."
-
Rex took a deep breath as he sprinted through his side of the forest, his buster ready to fire in case of anyone who spots him and try to take him down. His metallic boots thumping on the ground and splatting on mud, he would surely have to clean that up later.
He suddenly stops at the sound of something and crouches low to the ground, keeping his wings folded closely to his back, scanning the area and of the sound. If he knows any better it's the sound of other people talking. Space pirates...
-
Tanner scans the area for any signs of space pirates down below. He looks for a short while and suddenly finds a small open area with several metal domes randomly placed in that open spot. He turns on his helmet radio, "Hey, I think I just found a space pirate base not a quarter of a mile from here."
-
Rex heard Tanner's voice through his radio built into his buster. Raising his left arm he presses a button on it and holds it up his snout.
"This is Rex, I found something on my end as well, sounds like a group of these pirates are harvesting the Dracalan Fruit over here. Stay on your toes, they seem to be all over the place around here."
-
Kacie stopped to listen to Rex's and Tanner's transmissions. But she did not respond, just regarded their information, and proceded with caution. She finally heard some talking. But instead of contacting Rex and Tanner, she decided to get a little closer first before saying anything.
-
(No I don't mind.)
-
(There's a little bit of a conflict here. Because Kacie, Keni and I have already started a mission and we're in the middle of it. Arboldin's proposal may be a little too late to work.)
-
(I got a idea to fix it, Arboldin's charcater could be onboard the SCF Longnebla at the moment after being picked up by Captain Threehorn from another planet)
