Description: Vhargh is a swaggering atypical Vargr, who plays up his “piratical past”, before his stint with the Imperial Navy. Is fond of the phrases “ARRR”, and “matey”, and always trills his r’s in exaggerated fashion. Generally found in his unisex jumpsuit aboard.
What is known: Vhargh is on the end run of his term of ‘service” for the penal Navy unit. He was convicted nearly 4 years ago of falsifying documents for supplies aboard the Destroyer “Victorious” in the 212th Fleet/Jewell subsector, SM. (Petty racketeering). Vhargh is cheerful, and upbeat, having only three months left to serve(90 days, or returns to regular service/ or musters out on 150-1105).

Name /Rank : CPO “Shorty” Status: NPC
Race: Human (imperial)
Height: Approx 4’10”
Weight: 80Kg.
Hair: red (fading to silver, and balding)
Eyes: pale sky blue.
Position: CPO “Shorty” is a fixture of the Ursula, having served aboard her since before her career as a commerce protection ship began five years ago (1100), when she was another one of hundreds of bulk carriers plying the Glisten-Pax Rulin run. He is the ship’s mechanic/repairman.
Description: “Shorty” is, as his name implies, short. He is not a heavy Gee worlder, however, he does have dwarfism. Freckled even to his pate, fair skinned, and going on 52, he has a slight paunch, but can still wriggle in LS ducts, and other places folks wouldn’t dream of going. Speaks galanglic and profanity fluently. His hands are calloused, and frequently skinned or scabbed from working in places a robot is normally sent. Chews tobacco (he quit smoking years ago) on the job, never spits. Has tattoos on his forearms: (left arm), an asteroid map of a particularly dangerous belt (adv. Hook); (right arm), an IN tat of the ISS Voroshilev BB.
What is known: “Shorty” is a former Belter, turned to being a mechanic of starships, and has the rank of Chief Petty officer Imp Navy , Active Reserves. Carries a power extender wrench, that he refers to, and talks to as “Mister wrench”, at all times.(can extend from .75 m long to 3m long). Likes to grab a dram from Mike (PC) the Steward’s hip flask. Knows every inch of this ship like the back of his stubby rough hands. He is also Chief of Damage Control during battle. If he likes you, he picks on you(jibe wise). If he doesn’t, he ignores you.
What is not Known : “Shorty” was given a life sentence to Ursula for manslaughter, 2nd degree. Due to his exemplary record, and witnesses in his defense, Imperial Navy magistrates commuted his sentence to life served here, rather than on a prison world. “Shorty” is among the most highly decorated sailors aboard.
Name /Rank : PO2 Sasha Terrel Status: NPC
Race: Human (imperial)
Height: Approx 5’10”
Weight: 65Kg.
Hair: Red (titian)
Eyes: Yellow**.
Position: PO2 Sasha Terrel is the Gunner/co-pilot for Lawn Dart-1, and as such works with the following personnel: PO3 Vhargh (the EW/Comms/ NPC), and LT Geoff Hawkins (PC), the pilot/ FLT officer. All three are considered part of FLT crew for Ursula.
Description: Sasha Terrel looks like she’s from a heavy Gee world (but is not), wears her unisex jumpsuit cinched tight, unzipped to show strategic cleavage. Her hair is usually in a single frenchbraid. Wears no make up. Has full sensuous lips, and a few freckles across her nose.
What is known: Sasha has 28 days remaining on her “service-term” with Ursula as a penal crewperson (96-1105) of a 4 year term for repeated “fraternization violations” , hence her reputation as a promiscuous member of the ship. She has a husky, some may say, sexy voice, with a Terran Louisiana accent (think Rogue, X-Men here). She is on a daily regimen of meds by the ship’s Dr to keep her from her “darkside”.
What is not Known: Sasha joined the Navy in order to escape Corporate goon squads from SuSAG, LIC., eight years ago, when she and other athletes in college volunteered for a new “performance enhancement drug”. This PED, turned out to be a new form of combat drug SuSAG was working on. 98 of the 100 test subjects died. SuSAG has the other one(hidden). Sasha is on the run. She was altered, with a permanent increase in her strength, constitution, and dexterity (although it lowered her wisdom and intelligence as well), changed her eye color DNA, and her behaviour patterns (the nymphomania).
More to follow! Thanks Plop101! Great idea.
