Physical A tall, slender man, late twenties to early thirties, completely hairless, with dark brown skin, and a protective implant that extends from just below his eyebrow line to the bridge of his nose, covering his eyes. Prefers tight-fitting, nondescript clothes.
Implants Two contained energy field shield bracelets, one implanted on the back of each hand, generating small – about 30 centimetres diameter – shields. Equipment Uses two matched pistols as weapons, disdaining energy weapons apart from the defensive shields. He has developed his own fighting style, combining very fast movement with the two small shields and the dual pistols. Personality Abrasive and impulsive, he does not get along well with too many people. He is supremely confident in his own abilities, to the point of overconfidence. He has a weakness for attractive woman, and will probably make a move on any in his immediate surroundings – with a subtlety that is in stark contrast with his usual brash impulsiveness.
“Damn suits, always keeping us waiting” I mumble loudly so everyone in the room can hear me. “Like I don’t have other business I could be attending to, I’m a busy man and people want me round these parts” I say a little softer more to myself than anything else, summing up the others, waiting in the corporate room. Water fountain, nice, these guys trying to show off what they want to throw around, I turn a coin in my hand. It’s a lucky charm. 1900th century, Earth. Man I would have loved to see that place in my life time, but it’s gone, gone like so many other unsuccessful planets. Couldn’t keep up could they? I’d heard the woman were nice there, pretty and well, easy. Man on man, would have been good times. I study the coin. I’d picked it up on a job I’d done years back, well not so much pick it up as sort of put it in my pocket to view later and never returned it. I’m sure it was worth a whole bunch of credits. I strut up and down, making sure ever one knows my presence and sizes me up. Yeah baby, look I’m all man; I smile at the woman on the floor. I’ll get me a piece of that. I grin more thinking of that I had done before coming to the call back. Those hookers down in the lower parts of the city were cheap and nasty, but a man’s got needs. Not that I needed to pay for that kind of thing, but that was half the thrill wasn’t it. I rub my head, clean as a whistle; I didn’t have a hair on my body. Radiation, does that to a man, I’d been in some rough jobs in this life time and as a result had a few side effects. Plugging in had its set back’s. “Man alive, how much longer” I say out loud again, making sure everyone looks up. Cynn I chuckle, while listening to the unseen voice. Typical, I flip the coin once more the put it back into my left side pocket. "Always got to drag it out, don't they, damn suites". My backs towards everyone and I stare out the large projected window taking in all the others behind me. As Akiko finishes her introduction I spin around and take in this lot at the table. "HA, right lot you are. I'm Cynn. I'm sure you've heard of me, so no explanation necessary". I say with confidence and arrogance. Full of myself was an understatement, I retrieve my lucky coin from my pocket and walk straight towards Nehiruun and put my black jet dirty boot with metal caps right up in front of her on the table, making a loud clashing sound as boot meets the table. Looking straight into her eyes, "your a pretty little thing, can't say I've had any dealings with the Habusa before. But then again I do jobs all over and never been called by them. Hard to believe a rose like you be running a gang like that, but hey, I've seen it all in my life time." I flick my coin in the air and catch it still looking straight into Nehiruuns eyes, lift my boot and walk away and continue to pace up and down the open area, waiting to get the rest of this job description done with. I wasn't the type who enjoyed waiting around to much. And there I stood in the middle of the room just listening to this bunch. Normally it was like me to jump right in and take charge, but something was urging me not too. Just listen. Eyes scanning the others, trying to figure them out. And why had such an unusual bunch of hired hands been asked to do a job together. Either way, I was just in it for the credits. And I was ready to roll regardless of the dangers; it wasn’t in my nature to worry about the formalities. I guess I wasn’t much of a thinker anyway, more into my action. I walk into the fray of things “look, I’m the hired muscle here, well part of anyway. Just let me know what you lot decide and I’m in, I don’t ask questions.” I look back at Nehiruun and give her a smirk and sit down on one of the couches and wait yet again to see what will transpire. Head resting on the back of the couch and boots up on the table, I’d been listening to everyone’s input. This Kennrial guy was starting to make sense, hell I might even grow to like this guy. And if he’s the one willing to take charge, I’m willing to follow, for now. I might have been full of myself and a chancier, but I wasn’t a born leader. “Look guys” I speak up so everyone in the room looks my way. “We only got 27 or so hours to get to The Staatentek Corporation, and we better stay getting ourselves together here, since it’s on the other side of this planet.” I sit straight up and eye everyone out. “Look I know some people, who owe me a favour or two, they’ll be able to give us two unmarked hover crafts to get us there. The only problem is navigating there, well, without getting caught”, I clear my throat wondering if they going to buy this. Jersey and Makbe were some guys I’d had dealings with in the past and they dealt in stolen hover crafts, it would be risky, but worth a try. “I’d say we get our act together and meet in two hours at this bar Kuan is talking about. That should give everyone time to get what they need to for this mission and I’ll have the transport vehicles waiting there? If all is agreed. We’re going to have to navigate our way around the low parts of the city as to stay out of sight of the police or anyone else that might get in the way. Going to be risky, but it’s the best I can suggest.” I pause, considering a few things. I’m back to pacing again, eager to hear a response. Only got to worry about the gangs then, I think and then shudder to myself.
