About the Crew

Mason Smith is the Captain and owner of the Boasting Cat, an old and worn freighter.  He grew up in a small, very isolated, community on the fringe.  He left there dreaming of the stars and seeking Fame among them.  Years of serving on crews has given him extensive knowledge of their operation, and he's an accomplished Star Crewman.

Minnie Simmons hails from Chuna 7, a War Torn Hell Hole on the outer edges of the fringe. Her life has been nothing but stress and combat, so once she freed herself from the planet, she has become a Traveler, seeking out Adventure of any kind.

Kazoc Xorv is one of the few remaining members of a dissolved Religious Cult known as the Wanders of the Apocalypse.  He is...vague, on what they stood for.  Revenge is his stated goal, though against who or what is also rather vague.  Besides being a warrior, Kazoc is also an accomplished Scientist and valued member of the crew.

Trachychelomoloch (aka "Trak") was a Wasteland Nomad from Cuthiea, a nearly lifeless ball of rock, sand, and ice.  Tough, skilled in combat, and determined to Survive Trak took to the stars to peddle his skills as a Mercenary.  

Fluffy Jinglejump (aka"Sylvester") seriously, don't call him Fluffy. Ever. Sylvester comes from an unknown race, from an unknown planet.  He, and a host of others, arrived in a Human system aboard a damaged generational ship, obviously part of some Long Term Space Mission.  The crew has limited memory of what their task was, and the ship logs were un-salvageable.  Eventually all on board were assimilated into the population and largely forgotten.  Sylvester is one of those few that are seeking answers, and his Faith in his abilities to find them drives him.  His skills as  a Star Crewman are exceptional, which you would expect from someone that grew up on a starship.
