Rank: First Mate

 

 

Kih'Tan Godling ()

Shady Past ()

Not to be Fucked With (●●)

Grim Violinist ()

 

Cool Points ()

 

Kih'Tan Innocence. Once per day, a Kih'Tan may appear to be entirely innocent of a crime, regardless of how obviously guilty he may be. This lasts until the Kih'Tan gets away, or until someone reexamines the evidence, whichever comes later.

 

Character Schema: Hard-Knock Life

Your life has been filled with horrors and hardships, but you have survived them, and you have grown stronger because of it. You have learned more about yourself than most people will ever know.

Once per day, when you gain a , you gain two temporary ranks in an appropriate ability. This lasts for the remainder of the scene.

 

Cool Schema: Start With A Bang.

Each day, the first you spend counts double.

 

End It

Effect: When your enemy is reeling, you deliver a decisive strike to end the conflict before it gets out of hand. Once per day, when you successfully attack an opponent with only two ranks left in his defending Aspect, you may Defeat him.

 

The Big Survivor

Effect: Once per week, when you are dealt a blow that would Defeat you, you may regain two Aspect ranks.

 

Divinity [1]

Price:

Effect: For five rounds, you increase the dice-size of one of your Aspects to a d20.

 

Inventory:

 

Tuxedo

Twin Entropic Syph PsiBlades (hilts emblazoned with a red cat: symbol of the Kih'Tan resistance, defunct and deactivated)

Mostly used hempen ball of string

x1 Pack of Smoke Grenades (4)

x5 boxes of sniper rounds

x1 Hooded Cloak, forest/jungle camo

x1 Packs of Cigs

x1 Forgery kit 

x3 Fake IDs

x2 cases of genuine Kih'Tan whiskey

x4 "You can read too!" -series of remedial books for reading/writing

 

Money:

 4805 credits (not as useful as it used to be)

 

Appearance:

3' 10" 

67 lbs.

 

Eyes: Gold   Hair: Purple and striped

Scars: Many. Distinguishing nick on left ear and jagged scar under right eye.

Hands and feet: Five-toed and fingered

Tail: variable in length, with a crook at the end

 

 

Clothes: Dark gray Longcoat with high collar, usually with gray cargo pants or brown utility pants with lower legs bound by straps, a white, gray, or blue t-shirt (sometimes with an ancient Kih'Taniese inscription), fingerless gloves (also black), dark blue, tabi shoes, belt with holster and knife sheath, knives strapped to left forearm and right calf. Omnitool equipped on right forearm. 

 

Armor: Think of the armor from Mass Effect. Dubh's suit is built to accomadate his acrobatic needs. The armor is as light as it can be, without compromising enviromental intergrity. Nanite soles on the boots simulate the density and texture of the ground- giving the feeling of running barefoot while also protecting the pads of one's feet from hazards (nails, sharp branches, etc.). This suit is painted a dark gray, with black lining. The symbol of the Kih'Tan resistance is painted on the left shoulder. When the helmet comes up, it looks like Dubh is wearing a hood that completely shades his face (which offers him night vision).

Crew relations...

 

Gary: He grits his teeth as you pass by, and flexes his claws defensively.

Speed: He gives you a wink and shakes a pack of cigarettes at you.

Ytlkrek: He sends a nod in your direction, an unusual display of common respect from him.

Tommy: He offer you some whiskey and gives you a sympatheic pat on the back. 

Locth: He doesn't make eye contact with you, but you feel like you're being watched nonetheless.

Tomarli: He bumps shoulders with you as you pass by in the hall. Wait- was that scratch there before?

Loeli: He rolls his eyes at you when you glance at him, and shuffles away.

Dux: He complements your weapon collection and offers a few words of professional experience. You get the feeling he's sizing you up.

Foghorne: He openly watches you when he's around, and more than once you've heard a scuff from behind when working on one of your traps.

Inspector's notes:

 

He grew up with little childhood supervision, and learned how to survive under the guidance of his two older brothers. Dubh was caught shoplifting several times, and managed to escape police custody each time. To this day, he has never served a full jail sentence. Aptitude tests scored low to average, not a particually noteworthy student and in no way indicative of his wits and survival skills. Stopped attending school around 10th grade and joined local all Kit'Tan street gang. Gained noteriety as a runner, and reputation for luck after surviving multiple shootings which included drive-bys, bombings, and turf wars. Left street gang after death of his brother, Gideon, and disappeared for several years. Reappeared after North Manx fire, and was responsible for the arson of three Spacesec Barracks and the execution of several officers. Currently under investigation for several dozen more. A note was left on the bedstand of Spacesec Captain Larry Keevy:

 

"I no wut yor peeple hav dun."  

 

Was captured fleeing the scene of the third arson. Managed to pick the lock on his handcuffs, disable two armed guards, and hold pilot hostage of Spacesec transport shuttle. Transport shuttle was discovered several star systems away, in an empty system. Nav computer, hyperwave transceiver, and throttle controls had all been ripped out. Pilot was found alive, but was missing both hands. Sightings of Dubh were reported sporadically in the next seven years. Name came up on several contacts, and his voice was identified on a drug raid, along with the corpses of ten Spacesec officers.

 

Spotted traveling with the crew of Gary Thrustwaist aboard the Ursa Major. As one of a few surviving members of his species, Gary and his employees receive special diplomatic protections which limits Spacesec's interference. Should Gary be seperated from Dubh, Spacesec can initiate a raid and put a hold on the bounty.

Former Rogue's Image Goes... Rogue?

by Ashley Boerin 

 

Dubh McStubblylegs, also known as 'Patches' in the Kih'Tah undermarket, who was responsible for the North Manx Massacre has been undergoing an image change. A video had been released after the Mancaclasym showing him delivering a child back to a concerned mother. While this does not dispel the sinister reputation that follows Dubh, it does lead to some interesting questions concerning this not so dashing rogue.

 

For years, the public view has aligned with the smear campaign that SpaceSEC had assaulted Dubh's image with. It was not much of an image to smear, Dubh had claimed responsibility for the multiple homicides and fires as a response to the North Manx fires and the multiple "cultural purges" before that.

 

Beneath the claims of SpaceSEC, a key fact has emerged. Every single murder attributed to Dubh has either been perpetrated against an officer of SpaceSEC or SpaceCORP, or a known criminal. Every investigation involving civilian executions committed by Dubh have revealed that the target was either an undercover agent of SpaceSEC or a criminal bound for at least a year of prison if caught.

 

Was this a matter of precision, or is this an indication of -dare I say it- compassion? 

 

I was able to get ahold Pat Pitter (arrested for accepting bribes from and leaking resistance intel to SpaceSEC)who is currently awaiting trial at Stripeclaw Penitentary. He was a former accomplice to Dubh, even assisting him in obtaining explosives for the West Manx bridge bombings responsible for the deaths and injuries of 67 SpaceSEC officers and the loss of 500,000 credits worth of military grade equipment.

 


 

AB: So, how would you describe Dubh shortly after the North Manx fire?

 

PP: 'E wazzall piss an' vinegah. Bastahd wanted blood. Still, 'e made a point ter avoid killin' the civvies, sai' 'e don' wan' 'em ruinin' the message. Sai' tha' they wer jus' stuck in de middle.

   

AB: Why did Dubh want to slay SpaceSEC and SpaceCORP personnel?

 

PP: Ah, 'e nevah wanned ter slay SpaceCORP troops. Dey jus' got in de' way. SpaceSEC, though, 'e had it out fer dem. Sai' they killed 'is fam. Wanned dem ter pay. 

 

AB: His family?

 

PP: Aye, 'is fam. Cannae say Oi blame 'im. Seemed ter love dem beyon' 'is own life.

 


This is quite a different image than the one usually associated with Dubh as the ruthless assassin and thief. Those two aspects of his personality do not stop him from being a hero in Kih'Tan eyes, and for the less culturally knowledgable readers I can explain that...

"TOMMY TWOSMOKEWINGS MIGHT BE AN OPTION. YOUNG, IMPRESSIONABLE. IF HE HAS ISSUE WITH DUBH, HE'D BE THE MOST LIKELY TO LASH OUT. GREATEST CHANCE OF INTERNAL SUPPORT."

Now I almost have to sell you out. Thanks Dubh.
