Okay, here's the Captain.  The deal is the same as discussed before.  He wanted to have a go at getting into the shipping business but didn't have the money to buy the ship outright, so the Colonel is letting him pay it off over time.<br/><br/>The information may be scant, but it's just something I put together for someone who<em>might</em>not be around very long.<br/><br/>========================================================================<br/><br/><strong> Player:  </strong>NiceTexasGuy<br/><strong> Character name:  </strong>Otto "Brad" Bradley<br/><strong> Gender: </strong>Male<br/><strong> Age: </strong>41<br/><strong> Home world:  </strong><br/><strong> Position on ship:  </strong>Captain / perspective owner<br/><strong> Usual occupation:  </strong>attorney / sometime politician / business management<br/><strong> Religion:  </strong>Agnostic (raised Christian - Catholic)<br/><br/><strong> STRENGTH = </strong>8<br/><strong> AGILITY =  </strong>7<br/><strong> VITALITY =  </strong>7<br/><strong> ALERTNESS =  </strong>9<br/><strong> INTELLIGENCE = </strong>10<br/><strong> WILLPOWER =  </strong>9<br/><br/><strong> Strength(s) =  </strong>Math (complex calculations in his head).<br/><strong> Weakness(es) =  </strong>Fear of spiders.<br/><br/><strong> Skills &amp; skill levels for each =  </strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Art appraisal - 2<br/>Writing - 3<br/>Athletics - running - 2<br/>Athletics - swimming - 2<br/>Cooking - connoisseur - 2<br/>Concentration - 3<br/>Interrogation - 4<br/>Intimidation (of the office/courtroom variety, not the bar fight type) - 3<br/>Pistol - 1<br/>Administration - 2<br/>Barter - 2<br/>Bureaucracy - 4<br/>Conversation - 4<br/>History - 3<br/>Literature - 3<br/>Law - 14<br/>Accounting - 7<br/>Philosophy - 2<br/>Religion - 2<br/>Sports - 3<br/>Astrogation - 2<br/>Planetary vehicles - cars - 3<br/></div></div><br/><strong> Weapons =  </strong>small concealable pistol in a vest pocket, and a big one to strap on his hip when the occasion calls for it (like when meeting for business deals with rough people.)<br/><strong> Other possessions =  </strong>n/a<br/><strong> Biography = </strong>Born on a border planet, he completed law school at a second tier university on a core planet just prior to the Unification War. Returning home and getting caught up in pre-war politics, he joined the Independence Army and served as a staff officer without distinction for most of the war.  He was captured in the last few months and negotiated the release of and transport home of his fellow prisoners in the camp.<br/><br/>========================================================================<br/><br/>Rather than trying to coordinate a bunch of PM's I'll go ahead and suggest something for y'all here:<br/><br/>Cam:  Got caught in a heist, the Colonel learned of his browncoat past, cut him a break because he had a ship in dire need of a pilot, and has worked for the Col for several months now, with the Col. keeping him on the payroll even when he didn't have work for him.  Of course that isn't the way to run a business, so when "Brad" makes a deal to buy the ship but doesn't have a crew, the Colonel recommends Cam as a pilot.<br/><br/>Chase:  Chase just sort of slid into the shipyard one day, chatted it up with one of the head mechanics who decided to try him out, and after a couple of days of piecework, decided Chase knew enough to take him on full time.  He's never met the Colonel.  There are too many Feds in the area, and figuring he can't continue to lay low here forever, latched on to the next ship heading out in need of a mechanic.  That, of course, would be the Musashi Maru.  Captain Bradley took him on sight unseen on the recommendation of the shipyard's chief engineer, on the recommendation of one of the lead mechanics.<br/><br/>Bel - Offered the First Officer (second in command) position because of her relationship with Chang ... sort of a combination of protection from pirate attack and occasionally in the hope he'll send work or information her way.
