[5 Parsecs] - Bullshott in Space - crew of the Sun Chaser added

[Bullshott]

Introducing the crew of the Sun Chaser:

'Captain' Apolonius Carmine has put together a bunch of misfits who are now living the dream, in search of adventure and a better future.


From left to right:

Apolonius Carmine (CP Models):
Apolonius (known to his friends as Apollo) was a member of the administration on Bartoc IV, a peaceful high tech colony. With the withdrawal the Federation from the sector during the Intergalactic War, he became a diplomat negotiating with other newly independent colonies. He was off-world on the research station off Logan's World when the Federation reacquired Bartoc IV. To make things worse, at this moment pirates chose to attack the station and he found himself stealing a science vessel to escape.

Nero Cobalt (CP Models):
A pilot on the orbital research station off Logan's World, Nero funded his gambling problem with petty crime (smuggling and various scams). Station security eventually caught Nero and were escorting him to the brig when pirates attacked the station. Taking advantage of the chaos and realising Nero could help him escape the pirates, visiting diplomat Apolonius helped Nero to escape custody and steal a science vessel in the station's dock. Nero is driven by loyalty to Apolonius.

Minerva Limone (CP Models):
Agitator and trouble-maker on low tech colony Logan's World, Minerva was sentenced to servitude on a penal colony. Awaiting transfer to a prisoner transport, she was in a holding cell in the orbital station above the colony, when the it was attacked by pirates. In the chaos that ensued she ended up on a stolen science vessel. She'll tag along in search of fast credits.

Alyce Chartreuse (Crooked Dice):
Alyce was brought up as a member of an isolationist enclave, hiding from the Federation in order to be able to practice their banned religion (all organised religion was banned by the Federation). Alyce hated the socially restrictive and technologically backward enclave, She wanted to escape and improve her life off-world, where she could also have the benefits of unrestricted access to technology.
When the Sun Chaser visited the enclave to trade supplies Alyce stowed away on the  starship. Minerva took pity on her and persuaded Apolonius to let her stay.  In celebration of her escape, Alyce adopted a radically different clothing and hairstyle to those permitted on her homeworld.

Wulf Greymantle (Frostgrave plastic Barbarian with CP Models gun):
Wulf was a warrior  serving a local lord on his primitive world. When his lord's entourage was massacred by an enemy, he was saved by Apolonius. With his old master dead, he has pledged his loyalty to Apolonius.

Indigo Jones (Killer B Games' gangster with Stargrave plastic gun):
Indigo was a supply technician on a long term space mission exploring beyond the Fringe. When they returned home he left the ship, equipped with a large amount of back pay (which he spent on expensive clothes, fine wine and women). With his funds now running low, he's decided it's time to seek his fortune.

The Sun Chaser
The crew's ship is an old Armadillo class utility starship, formerly used as a research vessel. The ship's lower pod section was originally configured to contain a laboratory and sensor arrays, together with a small cargo bay. Apolonius took out a loan to ostensibly cover 'repairs', but actually used it to fund getting the ship a new identity and set of ownership papers.

Nice crew, especially the c.p. minis.

[Bloggard]

yes, and back stories.

[Plynkes]

Haven't played 5 Parsecs, but I am a big fan of the fantasy variant 5 Leagues and I really like the format of these games. It's always good to see peoples' crews/warbands and read their bios.

Always interesting to add a little background to each mini! 

[Raedwald]

I didn’t really know anything about B7 (before reading this thread that is!). Great background and crew, looking forward to reading more.

Those converted CP civilians are definitely on my wish list too.
