009 Domestic Violence 01
Is pyromania communicable?
Distractions!
Secret stashaway house.
What's coming down the dark tunnel?
Pants on fire!
Streak: 1.) the act of removing ones clothes, and running about in the buff, usually near a group of people, but only be seen momentarily, makes people go "wtf?"
Snookums: Can be a genuine endearing nickname, often with a gentle sarcasm or humor attached. This word is annoying to some people and likely to make people near you sick when you use it. Especially if combined with physical affection.
"Aw snookums, you shouldn't have..."
Pizza!
We would like to extend our apologies to the movie, Broke Back Mountain.
US Pole Dancing
"Someone shot me!"
Pee on dog.
Domestic Violence.
Darwin Award.

This is an extra copy of the list of NPC's and such that we have in the campaign. I'm copy and pasting this here just in case pro-boards dies unexpectedly.
From this board.
Since the HC wiki went down
http://blumagik.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
I'm going to just put everything on a page here. (I don't want to put it into a wiki that might go away).
Note that this page is to help Logan keep track of the NPC's so that they actually exist if/when the PC's go back to the planet. If you wish to put in a fact/update on a person, please put it in the same format I am using so that I can just copy paste it into my thread.
Albion; "Association of Free Brotherhood" AKA Blue Tong. As with all Tongs worthy of the name, they enjoy the use of melee weapons such as hatchets and machetes as well as more conventional weapons.
Albion; Chang Shawl (age 38 in Campaigning in 2516) - a leader of the "Association of Free Brotherhood" AKA Blue Tong. He is 'cunning and ruthless'. Everything out of his mouth sounds like a dire, growled threat. While this is menacing for those who do not know him at all, anyone who has spent any length of time around him either thinks he is a dork or has a weird speech impediment. Despite this, he has (thus far) dealt fairly in his business dealings with the Silhouette.
Albion; Mr Lee (in his 40's in Campaigning in 2516) - did a fixing job for the "Association of Free Brotherhood" AKA Blue Tong. Polite, conservative. Wore a suit with a bowler hat and cane. Round glasses. Round face, roundish body. Hair is parted in the middle. Is an expert at 'oriental inscrutability'. Over the top formal oriental accent (ala 'Dr. Fu Manchu'). He did not seem (or admit to) privy to the details of the last job he hired the PC's for, but they did the job well. He also knows that the PC's don't seem to mind working for cheap and seem to be on top of their game.
Albion; Red Tong - actual name, unknown. They were foiled by the PC's. Only two PC's it is possible to have identify are JJ and Dane. No other PC's were visible to them. Due to other factors such as heavy rain, a huge fight and repainting of the ship it is doubtful though possible they will wish to seek vengeance on JJ and Dane. They are the up and coming tong on the planet, currently at war with the 'Blue Tong'. Were they to discover JJ and/or Dane, they would doubtless wish to discuss the loss of a valuable anti-ship missile system - as well as a lot of men. As with all Tongs worthy of the name, they enjoy the use of melee weapons such as hatchets and machetes as well as more conventional weapons.
Albion - world notes. AKA 'Fifth Element world'.
Anvil; Austin Winters. Mistreated a companion. Maddy was hired to teach him a creative lesson - not to kill him but something bad to make him realize the error of his ways. Maddy has yet to tell the crew about the mission.
Bernadette; Tolman White; age 25 in 2516 - Textile reseller. Apparently he has contracts with X from Summerfaire. Tolman seems to be pining over some girl who works at the admissions for the Ark tours. He also has a fairly useless secretary. Or did have at the time the PC's initially visited the planet. It is unknown as to how good of textile reseller he is, but he does seem a bit of a twit.
Branson's Mark; Ben Howard (Jr): Aged 28 in 2517. Handsome and idealistic, he is the leader of 'OK Lumberjacks', with the help of his foreman, Flanagan. His father (Ben Howard Sr) had married a gold digger (Sara Howard) and changed his will cutting him out - according to him because Ben Jr had 'come on to her'. His problems were recently solved (or started - depending on how you look at it) by the crew of the Silhouette. They convinced Sara Howard to allow the workers (and himself) to buy her out. She has since left planet.
Branson's Mark; Birdie. Aged 104 in 2517. An ancient Chinese lady who has been the housekeeper of the house Sara Howard has recently vacated forever. She's very old, frail and apparently a bit more clever than many of the crew of the Silhouette.
Branson's Mark; Flanagan. Age 41 in 2517. Burly Irishman with a thick Irish accent. He is the foreman of 'OK Lumberjacks'. He is good at his job and respected by the crew. He dislikes the perceived rudeness shown him by many of the crew of the Silhouette (JJ, Madelyn and Caleb). Due to this, he inserts the word 'cock' after any sentence said in their presence and in their direction. The crew of the Silhouette has accused him of having 'Tourette's syndrome'. Although the crew of the Silhouette helped out his men by purchasing approximately 1/3rd of the now worker owned company, he still says 'cock' - perhaps holding with now established tradition.
Branson's Mark; Gary Kirkpatrick (Sheriff in in town). He is a very distinguished, greying at the temples, bit heavy. He is well known for his ability to be totally absent when trouble threatens.
Branson's Mark; Grace Kelly. Mother of the man who became known as Talman. She is extremely poor and ostracized by the village (her son became a mass murderer) and makes a pathetic amount of money making quilts. She raises some of her own vegetables. Fortunately, the crew (she recognized the Hawthorne brothers Dane and Henry) left her with about a years worth of canned and protein bars in 2516.
Branson's Mark; Jessie Bowery - owns a lumber yard in Branson's Mark. He is (along with Samuel Lewis) suspected of having beat Joe Dane to death for stopping them from lynching a mass murderer named Talman. The crew of the Silhouette may be planning on killing him at a later time.
Branson's Mark; OK Lumberjacks - Each PC (crew of Silhouette plus TJ's character) owns a 4.5% share of the company as well as the good will of the lumberjacks. It is speculated that this company will do well as it is owned by the employees themselves headed by (NAME) and his foreman Flanagan. Once per year, they will put the money owed to the PC's into the bank in Branson's Mark to sit until the crew of the Silhouette comes by to pick up their shares. The company only was worth approximately 10,000 credits at the time of sale to the employees so the amount of money gained per year will not be large but it should be a good, steady income. The crew of the Silhouette put in a bit under 1/3rd into the company.
Branson's Mark; reputation - the crew of the Silhouette helped out a lot of people who got blown up (and the explosion did not in anyway seem to be the fault of the PC's) and helped them get medical attention as well as bandaging them up.
Branson's Mark; Samuel Lewis - - owns a gun repair shop in Branson's Mark. He is (along with Samuel Lewis) suspected of having beat Joe Dane to death for stopping them from lynching a mass murderer named Talman. The crew of the Silhouette may be planning on killing him at a later time.
Deadwood; Armand King, age 27 in 2516 - was he the god awful barber on Deadwood whose hands shook so bad that it was considered suicide to get into his chair?
Deadwood; Eva Knight - determined, sharp tongued, pretty, in 30's in 2516. Leader of the women folk settlers.
Deadwood; reputation - the crew of the Silhouette helped to drive off the nefarious Charley Hunter and kill off many of his evil hands that had slaughtered the former husbands of the women there.
Deadwood; Ruth Winters - aged 20's in 2516. Had a sick kid, Chastity aged 5 in 2516.
Deceased; Bernard Brixton. Apparently he was a hit man. He had a cybernetic eye in his head which has since been removed (along with the recording unit it went to) and is in the possession of the crew of the Silhouette. Dead before they met him, husband of Mandy Brixton. An interesting theory concerning him has been advanced by Henry Hawthorne and presumably forgotten by the other crew members of the Silhouette.
Deceased; Mandy Brixton. She was shot (apparently in the head), chopped into pieces and shoved out of an airlock by the crew of the Silhouette. They didn't like her. For some reason, they believed she was not entirely truthful with the Silhouette's crew. Dubbed the 'lying whore'. See also 'Bernard Brixton'.
Deceased; Talman. Mass murderer. Began to have anger issues and killing people 'at about puberty'. Mother was Grace Kelly, father was Francis Kelly. Buried in his mother's back yard.
Greenleaf; Don Rigatti. One of the three heads of family on Greenleaf (other two blown off by the crew of the Silhouette - doh). Very boisterous, over the top "We are like brothers!" guy. Likes to drink heavily (and the guests must as well, naturally) while doing business. His family deals in 'pharmaceuticals'. He gave Dane Hawthorne a horse after concluding a business deal in 2517.
Greenleaf; planet information. "Columbia world". Filled with rain forests producing both illegal and legal drugs. Lots of white washed houses and full of both very poor people and very rich ones who give them their beating as is proper. They drink some sort of very potent 'local drink'. The last time the Silhouette docked here (in 2517), they paid 110cr in various bribes (100 for the government officials, 10 for the guys who did the work on the ship). And they got a horse.
Londinium; Kendrick Gentry. Older, conservative Alliance Parliament person - is the incumbent against Virginia Collins. Campaigning in 2516.
Londinium; Virginia Collins. Radical/progressive, running for Alliance Parliament against the incumbent Kendrick Gentry. Used foul language and flipped off the camera in an episode of Point/Counter Point when she was debating Kendrick Gentry. Campaigning in 2516.
New Melbourne; Daniel Ecks. Aged 30 in 2517(?). Good looking guy who deals in wood (ship building). Romantically interested in Maddy. Had a liaison with Maddy.
Silhouette; Barney - age - irrelevant (artificial life form). A male, white pleasure bot that looks like Neil Patrick Harris and has been named 'Barney' by the crew. Details not known - or really cared about - by the crew of the Silhouette. Barney seems to do a decent job piloting and enjoys (?) listening to the cortex when he is idle. His off button is where his anus should be - an unusual feature in a male pleasure bot.
http://tinyurl.com/49av5j2
Silhouette; 'blue mysterious powder' - despite JJ wandering around asking people about 'blue powder', nobody seems to know what the hell he is talking about. People have begun to speculate that perhaps JJ has such powder and wonders what it is. Encountered in Campaigning in 2516.
Silhouette; 'Cat'. The ship cat. Type unknown. Mostly ignores the crew and with the exception of JJ (who owns the cat as much as anyone can actually be said to 'own' such a creature) the crew ignores him as well.
Silhouette; 'Horse'. The ship horse. Type - Arabian(?) - some sort of nifty white riding horse who is totally unsuited for life onboard a ship. Came as a very strange gift from a grateful client. Seems to like JJ who named it.
Silhouette; PC crew: Caleb Moses (engineer, adopted son of Dane Hawthorne) - played by Jamas. Dane Hawthorne (captain, brother of Henry Hawthorne) - played by Travis; appearance http://tinyurl.com/4s5x39v and http://tinyurl.com/4jzd6kw
Madeleine Hawthorne (galley cleaner, daughter of Dane Hawthorne) - played by Jana. Henry Hawthorne (pilot and doctor, brother of Dane Hawthorne) - played by Pete. JJ Adams (resident thug) - played by Richard. [Note - if anyone else has a picture of what their character looks like, let me know.]
Silhouette; Petey and Scraps - a boy and his dog. Petey is aged 8ish in 2516. Wide eyed and full of wonder he is currently learning all he can from the crew of the Silhouette. His mother had died (her corpse was seen). Petey is currently seeking his father (name unknown) on a rim planet (rim planet unknown). The crew of the Silhouette discovered no pictures of his father and figured he'd run off awhile ago. Chances of Petey actually finding said father are about nill. In the mean time, Petey has adopted Henry Hawthorne as his father and the rest of the crew as his aunts and uncles. With the exception of Barney - the pleasure bot - who Petey thinks of as 'weird and spooky'. Due to Caleb's savant ability with electronics/computers (creating a multipass reader that allows access to the non public stuff) the crew has found records that claim Petey's father's name is Fred Jones and that after Bernadette Fred Jones went to the planet Newhall.
http://tinyurl.com/4lfm8nj = Petey
http://tinyurl.com/4ozfd7v = maybe Scraps (unless the PC's find a better dog that more closely matched the description)
Silhouette; "Twitchy" - aged late twenties to early thirties in Campaigning in 2516. Actual name, past - unknown. He was encountered while working for Blue Tong on planet XXXXXX. His face is nearly impossible to 'read' due to the constant involuntary muscle spasms that go through his face and body. His hands shake a lot so even eating soup is a challenge he doesn't enjoy. The crew of the Silhouette suspects he has a lot of cyber implants that make his nerves so jumpy. He really smooths out when in full attack mode with melee weapons becoming a blur of killing frenzy. It is suspected that he is a 'for hire' assassin who doesn't always do his jobs in a direct fashion. For reasons unknown to the crew, he seems to enjoy hanging around with them on the ship though he is usually shunned in social situations by others. Perhaps the crew is strange enough to just accept him as is, hence the bond. He does enjoy trying to get the engineer to do strange things saying that the captain ordered it as (no matter how bizarre) the engineer seems to believe him. Twitchy has thus far confined his requests to things like "The captain said you were suppose to fetch beers for us from the fridge all night." Twitchy also sleeps/meditates/exists within a 'Darth Vader clamshell' that hangs from either the ceiling or catwalk of the Silhouette's cargo hold. It is unknown how long Twitchy will be able to remain with the crew or if his assignments will interfere with that. Twitchy did mention that his condition did give him a severely shortened life. Speculation as to why he would choose to spend it on a slow freighter abounds. Twitchy has said it's good if he avoids going to Ariel, though he didn't say why.
Space Station ('east' of system Summerfaire is in); unknown.
Space Station; Panzen (or Pancen, depending on a complex set of variables) Brothers. Details unknown other than they are able to get false identity papers and such at high prices but are allegedly very good ID's.
Summerfaire; Daniel 'Doc' O'Brian. Old guy (in 2516) but spry. Huge, mutton chop sideburns, piercing blue eyes. Usually wanders about unarmed. Those who know him well know that he likes playing up the 'bit senile old timer' but underneath he is sharp. The community likes him a lot and keeps reelecting him mayor. Served with Seth Warrens during the War of Reunification. Seth Warrens is now his 'right hand man'.
Summerfaire; Dalton Roberts, aged 55 in 2516. He owns sheep farms and has some stake in the factories that turn the wool into textiles. He dresses and acts like a rancher, though it is rumored he doesn't know one end of a sheep from the other. Which does lead to some interesting speculation on what would happen if he ever had to feed the sheep. For reasons unknown to the crew of the Silhouette, he was very nervous when they were set to transport his cargo of textiles off world. Despite poking and searching a portion of the cargo, the crew never seemed to figure out why he was so wound up about it.
Summerfaire; Kit-Ying, Hung (aka "Kit"). 23 years old in 2516, close friend of Madeleine Hawthorne. She is fairly demure but prone to bouts of excitement. She enjoys life. Kit runs a hotel willed to her by her father who was ruled dead after he hadn't been seen or heard from in seven years. The hotel is one of the nicer in the area. Because Kit hires as many townsfolk as she can (more than she needs, really) and is a very upbeat person she is popular in the town. Other hotels have attempted to open in the town but nobody will stay there or work there out of a loyalty to Kit. Kit loves nothing better than gossiping for hours.
Summerfaire; Nellie Steel. Older lady in her 60's (in 2516). She runs a factory that produces 'cowboy style' weaponry. She likes to smoke small cigars ('caroots' - spelling?). Hard old lady hardened by years of hard living in a hard business. Usually armed (heavily) and in body armor. She likes big trench coats as well. She helped give the PC's a couple crates of weapons - possibly out of love and possibly out of a need to advertise her wears or for other reasons.
Summerfaire; Seth Warrens. Old guy (in 2516); missing right leg - uses crutches as he won't let 'Them damned Alliance doctors touch him'. Despises technology and the Alliance. He carries a 'cowboy' type pistol but nobody has ever seen him use it - with the possible exception of Doc who he served with during the War of Reunification. He mutters and grumbles to himself almost constantly under his breath. Any time that something 'not politically correct' needs to be communicated from the mayors office, it is usually through him.
Summerfaire - world notes. They make 'cowboy' style weapons, textiles and some general supplies. About 200,000 people population. At one of the cities (unknown name) everyone loves the crew of the Silhouette who saved them (prior to campaign starting) from the evil and perverted Black Bart. Many people on this planet are refugees from Shadow and have a fondness for wearing 'coats of a brownish color'.
Unknown; Black Bart, aged 50 in 2516. Evil and highly perverted criminal, brought to justice by the crew who then took over his ship ("The Mercy") and renamed it "Silhouette". He has escaped from an Alliance prison. Word has it that he (and many others) were broken out by Captain Lincoln Stern. Current bounty 10,000 cr, half if dead.
Unknown; Charley Hunter (age 54 in Campaigning in 2516) - led the bad guys on Deadwood. PC's believe he slaughtered some settlers. A bounty was put out on him. He was the smartest bad guy ever as he not only had his escape means ready but used it well before the PC's could get to him. Current location unknown.
Unknown; Bernie Berns (age unknown, guessing at 40's in 2516). A midget who likes setting fires. Has thirty two (or more) counts of arson on his record. Has mysteriously escaped from Alliance prisons an astonishing three times - a feat thought by all to be 'completely impossible'. Currently has a bounty of 6000cr (alive ONLY) on him. Believed by some members of the crew of the Silhouette to masquerade as a child.
Unknown; Francis Kelly. Father of the man who became known as "Talman". He worked for an organization known as 'Reddy Grant and Associates. After the camp had changed his son, his mother Grace Kelly suspected some sort of horrible impropriety between father and son had gone on; she took her son and left. It is unknown where Francis Kelly is now but on a 'core world' is suspected.
Unknown?; Karkamov (age and appearance unknown). Fixer, specializes in 'black ops'.
Unknown; Lincoln Stern, captain. Current vessel and wherabouts unknown. Bounty 100,000 cr alive, half if dead. Known to have an armed spacecraft (or several) and flying around doing various illegal activities with a huge crew possibly including the notorious Black Bart. Lincoln Stern is wanted for twelve counts of murder in the first degree, fourteen counts of armed theft of Alliance property, twenty-two counts of space piracy, eighteen counts of fraud, thirty-seven counts of rape and one moving violation. Last seen near the Red Sun system. Travel advisory to anyone thinking of going to the Red Sun system. Lincoln Stern is reputed to have been 'indiscriminate' with who - or what - he and his crew rape.
Unknown; Reddy Grant and Associates (organization). Nothing is currently known about this.
Unknown; Rufus. Right hand man of Charlie Hunter. Nasty gunman caught on video slaughtering people on Deadwood.
Unknown; Sara Howard. In her thirties in 2517. Pretty. Gold digger, manipulative. Was married to a man (Ben Howard Sr.) for two months before he suddenly died, and she managed to get his only son (Ben Howard Jr.) cut out of the will (according to rumor). After the crew of the Silhouette brokered a deal where the lumberjacks (from 'OK Lumberjacks') purchased the company from her, she took her money and left planet. Quote: "I gave him the best two months of my life!" Current whereabouts are unknown.
Various; Warchow Shipping Company. Spotted in Bernadette, Summerfaire... The crew of the Silhouette returned a couple of units of ores to them that had come off of an external pod.
