Re: Yet ANOTHER wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Well, I'm in another game that I started playing in just after this game started up...playing a Marine Sergeant-Major sniper in a future-set Earth vs bad aliens (turns out that they're not all bad aliens, but it also turns out that some of the aliens we initially thought were good were just kind of stringing us along, so the 'bad aliens' category keeps shifting...and also includes a bunch of humans who are selling out their own kind...)
It's less fanciful than Star Wars (no Jedi, no Force)...kind of a little bit pulp-fiction heroes, Star Trek, Starship Troopers, and Horatio Hornblower, all mixed together. But it's been intriguing enough to keep me involved since Day One (out of the original lineup that started the game rolling, there's me and the GM left...the other six or seven players all came in later. Some of them joined the game, dropped out, and then came back a few years later.
I'm currently heading a covert operation to eliminate a slaver who's well-enough connected on the space station where she's operating that local authorities don't feel like they can take action without causing a backlash...so I'm trying to make it look like rival gang factions went after each other. The current mark is the third and last one on the list.
Roy (my character there) and Rhijans would either get along really well, or else utterly despise each other. I'm not sure which. They're cut from the same cloth, in a lot of ways...which, in my experience, either means you're birds of a feather, or else you recognize all your worst qualities in the other guy and can't stand the constant reminders. *laugh*
