Name : Arville "Ardy" Blackwood
Age : 27
Appearance : Standing at 5'10" with a lean build, his looks upon first impression isn't much. He'll typically be in a black combat outfit or elsewise wearing a civilian brown shirt with dark blue jeans. It's uncommon to see him without his pistol in his holster except for special occasions.
Previous Occupation : Briefly served in the military, after served as a freelance bounty hunter.
History : Arville was born into a rather poor and dis-functional family. His mother died at childbirth and Arville was an only child. The education he would receive were primarily from charity groups who which he preferred to spend much time with. That left him with his father, an alcoholic who would rather spend money on drugs and gambling rather than a better life. The only parent figures he would receive were the thirsty "religious" heads and teachers who did their best on a budget. His only company were the pencils he would draw faces on with whatever tools and supplies he could scavenge.
Still, being raised poor did teach him a few skills. For example, being a budget forced haggling and bartering a much more favorable option rather than pay for a full and unsatisfactory price for some bread. If haggling wasn't an option, he could always come back to steal it. Desperate times after all called for desperate measures. Besides, as tedious as it was, it wasn't as if Arville was in any hurry to get home much less go hungry. Everyday would be the same deal for him. All the way until he was 18, finishing public schooling practically on his own, he managed to scrape by with relatively decent grades. Of course, it wasn't as if he was any good enough for college much less be wealthy enough to pay for it. He had no choice but to be in the military. At least he could live and eat for free and get paid while at it.
It was all well and fine until he realized what he really signed up for. Hard work was no problem but following orders wasn't his strong suit. With constant lashings from his officer's and strict discipline, the military wasn't his strong suit. Ardy would rather be the one yelling. He instead quit on a dishonorable discharge after his constant outbursts with only six months of military training. Arville instead luck to the streets.
With a dishonorable discharge, it wasn't as easy to get a job, especially with his background and lack of funds. Bounty hunting was a more suitable option for him. With some training in weapons and his skills in stealth and persuasion from his childhood, a little "convincing" of locals made finding people easy. Still, he was dissatisfied. He had to operate alongside the law and follow their rule. His choice of weaponry was limited to only a military grade pistol he stole and a civilian rifle. Tired, he took to the bars, hoping not to end up like his father. Perhaps he could find a job there. And so he did with the offer of being a pirate. Operating as an outlaw would perhaps give him the escape he desired. Ardy signed up almost immediately.
Still, he would have to start from the bottom. With a little hard work, dedication, and plenty of near death experiences however, his street smarts and reputation sure made him rise amongst the grunts. It would be no surprise he would eventually be their leader. A little yelling could go a long way.
Weaponry :
P-51: A military pistol that can hold a magazine of 20 small bullets. It works well on lightly armored or unarmored enemies however the bullets small size would require it being fired into weak spots of armor to be effective. Still, the pistol is reliable and accurate for what it is. It was stolen when he was dishonorably discharged.
AS-88: This Assualt rifle was taken as a prize during a raid on a mercenary convoy when he was a bounty hunter. He was hired by a rather petty warlord who saw his past missions. Although his record wasn't astounding, the mission was simple enough. If Ardy were to die their would be no harm to it. He was just another worthless scumbag who was tagging along for a raid. By the end, where most other freelancers had died, he lived. As he was assigned to take the armory of the ship, he had first picks on the weapons. The AS-88 was his first choice along with his pay. The 31 round magazine fitting in 5.66 caliber rounds is only able to fire either in 3-round bursts or in a semi-automatic state.

Gerard "The Ghost" Rynolds
28
Appearance : Gerard, better known by his alias, stands at 6'2" and weighs in at 190 lbs. His face is never seen due to his mask. He wears the same clothes seen in the photo extremely often. One would say he never cleans them.
Previous Occupation : The Ghost is most known by high standing officials in large corporations and many military powers as a hacker, and a damn effective one to say the very least. Never failing a job, he was sought after by any one on the top. His jobs mainly consisted of sabotages. He was paid handsomely by this. He was eventually put out of business after the Galactic Alliance Pact was put into place. After that he was one of the most wanted criminals in the galaxy, but no one knew what he looked like. Alliance operatives would try to track him down, but each time they went home in body bags. Now they could add murder to his list.
History : He was born obsessed with tech. At a young age he was already creating entire programs with ease. By his teachers he was known as a prodigy, but as time went on their vision would've changed. As he got older he started doing wrong things with his "gift". Hacking school systems without them being able to pin the blame on him, he saw this as an opportunity to make some dough. His real career didn't start until he graduated and moved out.
His debut occurred when he hacked into a CEO's account and left him a special message in regards to helping him, but at a cost. After some time the CEO decided to take the offer, transferred money to an account, and awaited the results. One of that companies biggest rivals hit a crash within the week without explanation. Soon more and more companies and powers found out about him and now he had clients from all over the settled galaxy. Operating under the alias "The Ghost", his identity remained unknown. At some point in time an alliance was formed between many of his clients and they ended up turning against him. Now against everyone, he's gone under the radar for some time now. Eventually, he found a pirate crew in need of a mission director. Using his skills, he was able to get into trade schedules and such.
Weaponry : He doesn't tend to get involved in the attack but when he does it is a standard N83 Ballistic Assault Rifle, aka the BAR.

- Background
-
Xavier grew up in a rough situation. Never having it easy in life, he and his sister learned to steal and fend for themselves at a very young age. Xavier being the older of the two, he took the lead as the protector, always making sure his sister got food or clean water before he did. As the years went on and the siblings grew, Xavier became more crafty with his process of getting food, but he also began taking greater risks at well. Stealing objects from people's pockets, going into large markets and taking larger items. He had become a self-trained amateur thief. But, for once Xavier and his sister didn't have to worry about food at night, they didn't have to worry about the cold. But nothing good ever lasted long.
It was around Xavier's seventeenth birthday, he was out with his sister exploring the town, trying to find an easy target so that they could eat for the night. They had found a spot, but with how crowded it was, the risk was a bit high, and for once Xavier offered to find somewhere else. But his sister giving in to her hunger took the risk. A risk that should have never been taken. Xavier was unable to stop the man in time when his sister was caught, and unlike some people who would just throw a little girl to the side and have them run off, the man took the blade to her hands so that she could never steal again. Without proper medical help, Xavier's sister died of infection a few days later. He had lost the only thing he had ever cared for, the only family he had ever known.
As the months went on Xavier started to lose hope. He stopped eating, stopped sleeping. All he did was sit in the streets watching the people walk past him, the people he hated so much. One late evening a man had walked up to Xavier, he looked different from everyone else, his face cover with a thick cloth. The man seemed to know much about Xavier, a little too much. He knew why Xavier was on the streets, why had started stealing, about his sister and her death. The man sent chills down Xavier's spine as he spoke, but that feeling quickly changed when the stranger had made an offer to him. To be trained as a master thief. How could he turn down such an offer?
After getting a few years of training under his belt Xavier was able to make his skills and abilities into a money maker. Stealing for coin, gems, and pleasure. His life became something that ones would want, and something that some now longed to destroy. When He noticed that he might be in danger he went into hiding, but that didn't last long. Soon he found that maybe becoming a pirate would be the best way to use his skills.
- weapons
-
- A small plasma pistol that he stole off an officer a while back and has kept it with him since
- An array of throwing knives and switchblades that he keeps in hidden pockets and folds in his clothing (He can have around 8-10 of them on him at one time. more if he really tried and is trying to be prepared for battle.)
Honestly, anything he can get his hands on Xavier is willing to try to make into some sort of self-defense weapon. He is very creative with coming up with different weapons since his preferred way of attack is hand to hand combat. Even though he can use ranged weapons, he finds them a bit difficult to aim and can find himself wasting more shots than actually helping in battle. Though he has a decent aim when throwing his different blades.
"it's a balance thing."
