Weapons and equipment: Laser Cannon and Heavy Servo harness with Heavy Titanium alloy plates
Job: Ship driver
Age: 24

History: He grew up in a mansion in the suburbs of NYC, was basically raised by his basset hound because him and his parents agree on little. Ever since he was a young child, 15 or 16, he has been exceptionally protective of the people he really liked. There have also always been very few of them throughout his life. He was given the nickname "The Shepard" more as a play on German Shepards then human ones, because once him and his friends were walking through NYC when they were 17 and eighteen, the last thing they were doing together before heading off to college. Tim and his friend Lola were at the back of the group and someone grabbed Lola's purse and ran, shoving her down. Tim flew into a wild rage and raced after the robber, not being as fast he felt his body tense and then explode in a burst of will, throwing him forward so that he crashed into the burglar with the force of a truck. He beat the downed man unconscious and returned Lola her purse. Later that night, he was washing his hands and noticed that there was a red wolf head tattooed on his palm. He lifted his shirt and saw the tattoo slowly crawl up his arm. He screamed as it covered his whole body, giving him a red layer. He ran out into the street, clawing at himself and falling to his knees. Then all the ink disappeared and he exhaled a sigh of relief. But suddenly, in an explosion of pain he felt his muscles grow and change, so much so that he was tall, muscled and deformed, looking like a hairless humanoid wolf. But soon thick, rusty brown hair grew everywhere, coating his body. The last thing he felt before passing out was strong hands grabbing him and dragging him away. He woke up in his friend Jessica's house. She was a small girl, very pretty, and with a childlike enthusiasm. He saw her in a very different way now. She was one of five people surrounding him, all wearing black leather jumpsuits with red wolf heads on the shoulders and fire decals running down the arms. They threw him a jumpsuit and forced him to join their interstellar band of pirates. They taught him to control his lupine form and change in and out at will. But he still hated them for their despicable actions. On one raid he planned to drive the ship straight into the hull of another, hoping to kill them all in a final burst of glory. But he saw Jessica's face and pulled up at the last second, turning and throwing himself from the craft. He landed on the hull of the other ship and ran inside, entering an airlock just as he became sure the void would claim him. He entered the ship and met up with the captain, who made a deal that he could stay on the ship and work for him, so long as he promised not to show any mercy to his pirate friends should they ever meet. Tim reluctantly agreed and for 3 years the relationship went well. But one day a small boarding craft pierced the ship and killed the entire on ship bodyguard before marching into the captains chamber. Tim was waiting there with the biggest gun and heavyest armor he could find, but when he saw that the attacker was none other than Jessica, he became overwhelmed by grief and shot the captain. Now he is reunited with his band of pirates and has realized, that despite their actions being less than commendable, they are his friends.
Personality: Protective, Loyal, Funny
Other: Hates tattoos and has a thing for huge guns and heavy armor

The base of the Homo lycans

Several members of the group moved around, alert for any incursion. The base was not on earth, but on mars as the last base was almost discovered. Tim sat in an office, thinking on what he was to do when the alarms started blaring "AWoooga...Awoooga.....Awoooga"

Atesehn looked at the large bio dome, surrounded by it's bunker complex. Several entry points presented themselves. He had had a feeling that he had to come here, that he had to find somone inside. That's when he heard the alarms as well. Moving forwards over red sand really was a pain, as it alwatys clogged his leg joints.

Sitting in a shuttle from Mars's main defence platform down to the surface is one of the most boring trips in the Sol system if the passenger lacked entairtainment. William wan't bored. He sat cleaning his cybernetics and his weapons. The militairy had called him down to meet with certain indivdual's who favored the sign of the wolf. They probably needed help with somthing.

Slash smashed through the doors. He had a mission. He was to retrive one of the people in this base, a female by the name of Jessica. She was part of a pirate crew that had docked on this planet for a while. As the UN couldn't prove who they where they could take no action against them.

"Let's just hope it's not another clean up job.." William muttered to himself, the last couple of months had been agonizing as the only real jobs for a man like him had been small clean up's... He needed something big this time, something worth his potential...

He slowly disassembled Ange and Morte his bolt pistols with a trained efficency, placing each part in a certain place before cleaning them rutinely and at last reassemble his darlings...

"What now?" Atesehn growls quietly, as he springs through the red sand, his cybernetic legs letting him make enourmous limbs. The large bio dome loming close, he draws his glowing heavy chem gun.

Tim stood up from his command throne and pulled his laser cannon into firing position.

"Group up, cover every exit, Jessica back to back" He shouted and all of his friends got into groups and kept their weapons trained on the doors. The northwest one exploded in and a dinosaur like being in armor with a large gun burst in and shot wildly. Most of the shots went wild but Tim could tell that they were intended for Jessica. He flipped around and blasted off an anti-infantry burst at the door next to the beast.

"Thats your warning shot, make a move and i put a burst through your head"

"Ha you have balls but all I want is the Female, give her to me and I might let you live!" Slash Said as he lifted his Weapon.
"Come on hand her over or else" Slash ordered pointing his Bolt LMG at Tim.
"Look it either both of you or one of you!" Slash said and pointed it at Jessica.

You realize that she's in the same room (an office) Tim (TheAngrySquig) Right? Edit if possible.

She is with TIm??? bugger will change it ASAP.

Read fellow players posts.

changed hope thats better.

With a deafening roar, Atesehn raises his large, glowing firearm at the newcomer. He could destroy the fool, without even using his weapons.

"Make another move, and I will tear you to pieces!"

Rules.

The glass ninja wrote:Rules.

What?

Oh paragraphs, sorry

Tim put on a cocky smile and let just his face turn Lupine for a second in an attempt to scare the intruder and stepped in front of Jessica.
"You want her you have to go through both of us."

Slash smiled.
"I love it when scum say that!" Said Slash as he lifted his and opened fire causing all to jump behind any cover. Slash himself leapt behind cover before the others had a chance to fire.
"Come on you think a threat could scare me? I kill people like you all the time just hand the girl over and no more blood shed." Slash yelled before the others began to fire. He knew neither he or the others would stop but it is going to be fun before they have to retreat.

Atesehn had had enough. This newcomer had tried his patience enough. With a crash Atesehn smashes through whatever happens to be in his way, towards the stupidly brave fool just metres away. He didn't need his gun. With a horrific laugh, Atesehn slams into the little lizard, so foolishly trying to fight. "THERE WILL BE BLOOD SHED!"

Tim put a round through the cover, setting his laser cannon to tank killer mode.
"DIE SCUMBAG!" He roared as he put round after round towards the door

Slash looked at the beast.
"Ha you think you a strong because of that armour come on take off you helmet look me in the eyes as your kill me!" The creature chuckled and removed its helmet to look the Krogan eye to eye. With out missing a chance Slash jumped back up and head butted the Creature in the face causing it to hold its head and stumble back give Slash a chance to run and re-plan.
"I will get you." Yelled Slash as he ran through the destroyed door.

Through the destroyed door tim saw the gigantic beast stumble. Seeing a potential ally in this fight he ran to it's side.
"Who was that, why is he here?" Tim asked, barely managing to keep his Lupine side in control because of his rage at someone coming for Jessica

"I do not know, Atesehn said, but whoever they are they shall die by my hands." Atesehn readied himself, the lizard creature had dared to headbutt him and as a result would pay a price. This humanoid could make a good ally. Especialy against the foolhardy reptile. Readying his weapon and putting his helmet back on, Atesehn follows his target.

"This is my base, I have the full thing bugged i can track an intruder anywhere, take this walkie talkie and I will guide you from the control room" Tim said, And stay here to protect Jessica he thought. He handed the large beast a walkie talkie and went to his computer to begin tracking

"I will soon find him. He can't run for long." Atesehn says to the small man-thing beside him. The lizard had tried his patience now. he would get him.
"Where now?" Says Atesehn throught the walkie-talkie to the man, having moved into place.

OOC: How the hell!? you can track me?

It's his base you realize, and as a pirate he would need good security systmems.

"Okay, hes in the south wing, if you cut through the ventilation system you can head him off in the mess hall." Tim said, watching the red blip move along the screen.

"Got it, over" says Atesehn. He rips open the ventilation grill, tossing it aside, and climbs inside the cramped ventilation shaft. It was pitch black, but that made no difference to Atesehn as he had long ago replaced his with glowing red, night-vision implants. He was nearing his target.

As William finished assembling his pistols, he looked out the window he would likely be briefed in a short while.

Slash could hear banging.
"Damn they found me." He said as he put his helmet on.
"I'm goin to have to make a run for it and keep a eye open for any security." Said Slash as he ran and shot anything in the way.

Atesehn finaly exits the ventilaion shaft, glad to be out of its cramped confines. He leaps down to the centre of the mess hall, a table breaking underneath his gigantic form.
"I'm in the mess hall. There is no sign of the lizard-thing here. Its silent." Says Atesehn. The reptile could be anywhere.
