Grudge Bounty Gone Wild
Contents
Plot Infliction 00 - Let There Be Plot
Your parent has tasked you with avenging a former mate and offspring which were captured by slavers some years before you were born. After saving for many months, you are purchased a passenger ticket to the city planet your pre-family was taken. You are instructed to kill three individuals, and then come back to raise pigs on the family farm. Your parent also has dreams of expanding the farm to include chickens, so if you are able to earn some credits while you are there all the better.
Regardless of what your nature ends up being, you're mostly looking forward to getting off the back water world. You've also heard rumours of vast riches that can be obtained by combatants on your destination planet.
While growing up on the pig farm, a local retired combatant taught you one maxed out stage of either defender or aggressor. He also provides you with a med kit and 1D weapon.
You can also have 1 sci/tech stage (20 total XP) OR be half way towards your next stage of your choice (15 total XP).

Minor rule adjustments

Plot Infliction I - Wait, what?
Orbodun: "Apologies for the surprise attack, but you never truly know someone unless you fight them. Are you interested in joining our quest to bring honour to the galaxy?"
Billy-Bob cocks his head, and does what rudimentary net searching he can on the "Dal-Cana" the big fluffy bastard mentioned. "That there is a PAR-tic-U-larly unexpected suggestion, and I would have just as likely expected a pig to start yodelling. Whooo-EEE. But I do have to ask, if you don't mind my asking: what is it that you think you know about me from fighting me just now? Aside from that I can't duck worth a good goddamn."
Orbodun: "Well my friend, you can defeat me. And using a rather unique technique. That's enough for an initial conversation."
Your rudimentary net search reveals a lot of media-type pieces extolling the merits of an honourable life.
The idea of pretending to be honourable for an extended period of time is something that Billy-Bob weighs. He could probably pull it off, if it seemed worthwhile.
"Well, I do reckon we're having that initial-type conversation. What do people call you, besides 'fluffy bear person'? And what would joining your quest be meaning for me to do, exactly?"
