The Opinicus
Qualifications: Experience for these two was really trial by error, and for the most part, strong perseverance when the aforementioned failed. The fact is, they stole their ship, and who knows even to this day if they're qualified to run her. But, they still possess her, and that has to count for something!
Basic Personality and Captaining Style: Joint run by the Ortegas. A couple of nine years who are blissfully, unhappily married. These two are a crack pot team, and though they may not always come off as completely satisfied with the other, don't try to come between them. When it comes to the ship, meal, temperature, humor or even proper color, you will never hear more differing opinions from two people. But they always deliver on the goods, and have been working successfully together as scavengers/bounty hunters for almost a decade. The pair have even been contracted as extra muscle in a pinch, and as always, came away with a better reputation than when they went in. If you have to spend any time around them, best learn how to roll with the punches, and just accept their constant barrage of venom. Actually, they're super nice to other people. It's the banter between each other that you're going to hear about. Three pieces of departing advice: Never side with either of them, never try to play them against each other, and lastly... Pay them when the job is done.
How You Ended Up With A Ship: The Opinicus was originally the Jubilant, which was one of three dozen identical craft made for the purpose of space leisure in 2463. The ships were all sold to rich core families that were required to traverse the barrier between the rim and the core regularly, and was designed with nothing but comfort in mind. The Jubilant, as it was known at the time, was bought by the Burgess', who owned the massive multi-planetary company ORM Inc, providing foundation work for atmospheric processors. The owner, Gerald Burgess died of a heart attack in the spring(Londinium House Time) of 2481, and his widow sold the craft into the hands of an up and coming leisure cruise company, that would use the craft for twenty years as a high class shuttle, to bring patrons in from space stations, to the greater cruise ships. But, this was yet a short and uninteresting time in the ship's life.
It was sold to a luxury rental saloon in 2501, where it served as the Polo for 10 years. In 2511, Marco Ortega came along, and rented it as a honeymoon present for his new bride, on a stolen credit card. Once they were out of their proposed orbit, the couple decided they really like the ship, and departed with it, permanently. After some shady deals, and some shady handshakes, the Polo was renamed the Opinicus, and has lived on ever since, in the ever loving care, of this peculiar couple. Several times they ship has had an extra crewman, typically a mechanic, but once for two months, a very talented hibachi chef. However, over the years, none have stayed long with the die-hard couple, as their tempers, work lives, lax living style, and downright tempestuous ways, serve as a natural deterrent.
Ship Name: Opinicus
Ship Color Scheme: Black: 000000
Ship Class: Dionysus Class Yacht, Circa 2463.
Ship Specifications: If you check the above picture, and read in on the history, you will quickly come to understand that the Opi is a very small ship, with hardly any room to spare. She was a small sailing yacht and although two very serious mercs live in her now, she is still just a dandy lil thang, with no real armament, nor any need of it. She can sail for two months before refuel, and is about as long as the a Firefly. Not much else to tell at the moment. Our crew may decide to develop this more in boards.
Basic Ship Plot: We are gonna run amok! We are allowed, and qualified to run moks. The plan is simple: we find stuff that sells high and
Crew: 1 Mechanic.
Requirements: You must wear clothes. (Unless your play-by is Lene Alexandra) Seriously though, she can go nekkid. If you aren't her, then this ship is invite only, sorry folks. We have a detailed story we are planning, and it requires a very small crew. BUT, if you're an aspiring crime lord, or business owner, and need to hire a small crew with the rep to get things done, hit up the Opi!
Ship Boards: We will require the following:
Other:
Minotaur Class TT-28 Dropship, designation, T-21. The Opi itself isn't designed for intra-atmosphere flight, so a dropship isn't just a nice addendum, it's actually a necessity if they intend to return planet side. The T-21 is actually a mid range shuttle, and can make greater distances than many other shuttles of it's size, due to it's re-circulation systems.
