[ +- ] Backstory
Quentin was hired by a servant of Galactic Overlord as a tech specialist mining colony on Dexun IIIb. Due to unfortune accident with machinery he lost his hand up to an arm. He was insured in case of such accidents and he was issued instalation of type I prosthetic, a crummy one though. It only bent in elbow if helped with the other hand and a switch on forearm was used to clench the crude claws at hand. Luck has smiled to young man however, as facility administrator has issued himself an UCPA 4RM-III-03 with a built-in telescope blade for self defence and datapad. Medical staff made a mistake in documentations and the better one was installed on Quentin. As an opportunist, the freshly made cyborg saw that staying there wouldn't end well for him and ran away to other sector to avoid the hunt. There he joined crime sindicate as a field decker, assisting them in many action against local Overlord as well as other factions. He was so notorious he made a quite name for himself, and being a thorn in a side of not one but two Galactic Overloards he had to lay low for a while. No planet or station was safe from hunters' however, except one: Skull Prison. Quentin paid the prison's authorities to throw him in as inmate, letting him to keep his augmentations though. He has been there for almost a year and the heat on his mark has probably cooled down already.
It's time to get out.

NAME: Epistocon 457
RACE: Cyberian
Archetype: The Nimble
ABILITY SCORES:
Physique: 14
Agility: 17
Intellect: 12
Willpower: 8
Complication: A bloodthirsty Pirate is after Epi's ass, supposedly for some slight.
Special Abilities: You Can't Hit Me The character can impose a number of Negative Dice on attacks against them per combat equal to their Level.
That's an Easy Target Instead of needing a full combat round to aim a shot, The Nimble can forego their Movement in a round to get the same benefit as someone aiming for a full round.
Luck is On My Side Characters from this Archetype can reroll a number of Luck Rolls per adventure equal to their Level.
I Know How to Do This they learn an additional profession at each odd Level, beginning at first. These professions can be used just like Concepts, granting and imposing Positive or Negative Dice.
Vitality: 15
Sanity: 12
Luck: 3
Credits: 2
Equipment:
Rifle, breach loading up to 6 cartridges, d6+1damage
Stiletto, d6-1 damage, easily hidden
Armor, long heavy leather coat, reduces physical damage by 1 pt.
Mechanical Toolkit
Assume that since we are likely imprisoned that the gear is stored elsewhere.
BACKGROUND:
After an unimpressive youth on his Cyberian homeworld Epi looked to improve his standing by learning to pilot spacecraft. He did this through logic and simple pestering of the right people. As was to be expected he got bored after a couple of years of ferry work between planets and stations and started looking for something more adventurous. A visit to a rather sordid place of entertainment led Epi to fall in with a ne'er-do-well band of pirates who happened to be looking for a hot shot pilot. It didn't take too long for Epi to realize what nasty people these were and for him to decide he had better look elsewhere for his thrills. Opportunity knocked a short time later when the pirates were accosting a small freighter on its way to Tau Ceti 3 with a rather rich cargo. He was told to stay aboard ship and have things ready to go at a split second. He took advantage of the situation and took off while the others were right in the middle of their assault.
Because he had not given any thought to where he would go there was no paper trail to follow. All he meant to do was get as far away as he could.

Recovery roll: 1d6+2

Other details: Is 22 years old. Has parents that are aliens that look like humanoid lizards. Has secret desires of freedom.

Special Abilities:
● Too Tough to Die: Once per adventure, upon reaching 0 Vitality, The Tough immediately regains
1d6 + Level Vitality points. This represents the character’s strong resilience and unfaltering
determination.
● Feel the Pain: No one strikes as hard as The Tough. All melee damage inflicted by the character

When using weapons of that type, the character rolls a Positive Die when attacking.
Backstory:
"My name is Lurk Shadewalker. I am a warrior in training for the local overlord named Seeth. I am a human raised by cunning Reptilian alien parents, who have led me to down a path of desiring to rise in power and rank under the overlord's sorcerous rule. One day, my colleague decided to betray me, which eventually landed me in Skull Prison. I'm bidding my time to find a way to escape... "

Professor Myron Blass Human/The Smart - older middle aged scientist, looks even older than he is (and he look pretty rough).
Physique: 4
Agility: 12
Intellect: 14
Willpower: 12
Vitality: 5
Sanity: 14
Luck: 4
Complication: Secret - Forbidden Knowledge
I'm fine with having the Forbidden Knowledge being something that can spur the plot, or be used in some other creative way - I don't have to know what I know.
Equipment: I'm also fine with being put through the ringer and being on the run, or starting with nothing if this helps the game in any way. If possible being in the prison under another identity, so they're unaware of whom they've really got.

ok now that everybody's here we can begin the adventure, this is my first time being a game master or Overlord so i might make some mistakes on the way. so here is the setting for this adventure of Solar Blades and Cosmic Spells
The Skull Prison is a dark brooding prison administered by a private independent security force. It sits in the vacuum of space in a secret location, making it almost impossible for anyone to try to get to it, unless they are security agents themselves. They accept prisoners from Galactic Overlords, Crime Lords, corporations and anyone who can pay their prices or can provide other kinds of favors.
Guards are corrupt, violent and unconcerned with the prisoners’ security. As long as they stay within the prison and do not harm the prison property, they can do whatever they want to each other.
Prisoner life is rough. Not only are the guards extremely violent and careless, food is scarce, hygiene is terrible, and you even have to fight to have a bed to sleep upon. Major criminal factions dominate sections of the prison, making the mere act of talking to the wrong person a perilous task. That means unaffiliated prisoners need to keep their eyes open and find others to help them survive.
to sum it up. life sucks for all of you. you are all in your cells in the circular cell court , doing what you always have been doing since you where incarcerated when suddenly the lights go out, and the doors to your cells open. you all step out and it is chaos! the prisoners are rioting, Skull Sentinels are trying to maintain order, ect ect

In the days preceding this has there been any indication of trouble, other than the normal terrible stuff that goes on?
Myron will stay near his cell, carefully trying his best to protect himself.

you decided to stay in your cell for now while the chaos is ensuing. two inmates (hd: 1) are beating the crap out of each other while a Skull Sentry (hd: 3) is yelling from the security tower to cease and desist before he fires at the inmates.

It seems the guards didn't really know what to do with Epi as he was known to his friends of which there were very few in this forsaken place. They didn't know how to disarm him because they couldn't figure out if there were any weapons concealed within his 'body'. None of the oldtimers in the prison wanted to have anything to do with him because they thought he might be able to burn them to a cinder just with his 'eyes' which was just fine with him. He couldn't understand how he even got here. He thought he had gotten clean away from the pirates who had hired him to pilot their ship. Apparently they rigged it somehow to track it. And they must have called the authorities to report it stolen. Whatever it was, it didn't matter now. The place seemed like it was about to go up in flames but what could be a disaster could also be an opportunity. From the bars of his cell he calculated all the permutations of any possible escape plan.

Lurk remains in his cell while still in meditation. Eventually he opens his eyes to witness the chaos infront of him. He calmly picks himself up and check again what he has on him...
OOC:
Let me know what he has with him and his cell. And also, if he could have a hidden dagger/makeshift shiv. Apr 6, 2020 12:20 pm
Myron looks to hit the deck if the guard are going to open fire, he's not going to rush from the frying pan into the fire without a good reason.

Lurk will also remain in his cell as he watch the inmates get gunned down. He waits till either the guard at the tower is distracted, or that a guard comes into the room that he could wrestle a weapon out of.
