Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 2457708" data-attributes="member: 99">I figured that I'd go ahead and post the "cast of characters" and blurb for my Sky Galleons game.  It's a long while until Game Day but I'm hoping I can still drum up a couple more players to run the game next Sunday at AF&G.  Please feel free to hop aboard if you're free and the game sounds to your liking.Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jameson - Daughter of the British Provisional Governor of Mars, this girl has seen more fighting and adventure than most soldiers in the Royal Army, much to the consternation of her father.  Her quick wits and quicker rapier have gotten her out of almost every scrape she's gotten herself into.Sir Budrajah Gurung, KCIE, D.C.M. - Gurkha bodyguard of Lizzie, Budrajah once served in the Royal Army under her father.  He has come along on her many adventures doing his best to keep her alive.  This is usually occasioned by him killing large piles of evil-doers with his cutlass and kukri.Captain Sir Carson Umbridge, KCMG, D.S.O. - The good Captain had the misfortune to have his first command blown from the sky on her maiden voyage (through no fault of his own and thankfully while nobody was aboard).  But he has soldiered on anyway and always led his friends to victory, most recently on a daring rescue mission to the Rorke’s Drift outpost in the Martian badlands.  His latest command, The Indomitable, has now been fully fitted out with her guns and is ready for action.Dexter "Tex" Croft - This big game hunter from Texas came to Mars to escape his creditors and found himself thrust hip deep into one adventure after another.  His continued association with the British Crown Colony has garnered him a clientele of rich aristocrats who call upon his skills as a guide and a close band of friends who rely upon his Sharps "Big Fifty" rifle to bring death to their enemies from afar.Carlotta Morales Sanchez - "De-Frocked Spanish Nun Turned Pirate" sums it up nicely.  Originally assigned to the wildlands of Mars by the Church in order to bring God to the heathen Martians, Carlotta found herself going native.  Ever since her arrest/rescue by Captain Umbridge, she has placed her skills as a Sky Galleon pilot in the service of the Crown.  At least until something better comes along.Professor Angus MacTaggart - Once an engineer in the British Royal Navy as well as the holder of the Navy Heavyweight Pugilism title, Professor MacTaggart now spends his time using his skills as a mechanic and chemist to develop new weapons and ordinance for the British Sky Galleon fleet on Mars.  He's learned that his innate toughness is always an asset when one of his experiments in the field of demolitions goes awry.  After his heroic feats of demolition on the Rorke’s Drift rescue mission, the Crown has decided to keep him on as a “Special Consultant”.As the Second Oenotrian War moves beyond the initial skirmishes it has become increasingly obvious that the bellicose King Hatabranx of the High Martians is the one driving his people to war.  Without his iron-fisted leadership and the threat posed by his hand picked band of thugs, his people’s will to fight may well falter, leaving the Hill Martians to wage war alone against the Crown.The Captain and crew of The Indomitable are charged with the task of taking the fight behind enemy lines to directly assault King Hatabranx’s personal stronghold at Kraag Borovar.  Once there you are to subdue any enemy resistance, gain entry to the stronghold and take King Hatabranx into custody.  If he resists then you are authorized to use any force necessary to ensure that he is no longer a threat to Her Majesty’s Crown Colony on Mars.</blockquote>
