Pre-Game

Introduction

You have been sentenced to death by exile. From stories you’ve heard, you’re likely going to be eaten by insects of unusual size. The planet you’re from doesn’t just kill its criminals, because that’s boring. Instead, they’re packed into an automated ship and sent to a mostly destroyed city planet. Your crimes (either legitimate or the result of a corrupt legal system) have brought you to this unnamed bug planet. Soon the ship you are on will hover above the surface and the shield keeping you in the hold will be withdrawn allowing you to plummet to the surface to accept your fate.

There’s roughly 100 of you on the ship and before departure, you’ve never seen any of your fellow prisoners before (including each other). As you approach the surface, the four of you suddenly have an extreme awareness of each other. You all lock eyes (or light sensitive pseudopods) with each other, knowing that your fates are intertwined, significantly apart from the rest of the people on the ship..

You feel your nanoscopic robots being hacked from an unknown source. Despite the potential distress of this occurrence, you’re all completely fine with it and are content to let it happen.

Then, you are dropped to the surface.

Characters

• Felinid Striker (Amy) - Nala
• Colloidling Technician (Ulrich) - Glub
• Zygroten Assassin (Bonnie)
• Felinid (Tiger class) Defender (Rook) - Dortho

Backstories

Glub’s family is from a long line of barkeeps. Before the legal troubles, it was studying mixology (aka biology) and is just a few days away from a first stage of scientist.

One of Nala’s grandparents was a modified being designed for pest control. Some of those traits have passed down giving her +2 hit and +2 damage when attacking Vimren. When encountering a Vimren, she must attack unless succeeding in a 2D under will power roll.

Dortho was a slave being groomed for a media event by the famous hunter Jimmy Deathbringer. Some slave rights activists set him free and he snuck aboard the ship. Seemed like a good idea at the time. When everyone was hacked, the slave juice disappeared.

Bonnie’s as yet unnamed character is a murder victim. At least she carries the memories of a murder victim. The killer was sent to the bug planet, but apparently survived the initial arrival. Her family is rich and has been sending assassins to the planet with implanted memories to hunt down the killer. This is the seventh attempt. The killer is a Hylosus named Bax.
