Lt. Deering [Space Patrol]

Adeline Deering is the sole daughter of  Senator Asimov Deering, one of the senior politicians on Mars and for most of her life she lived filled the role of a wealthy politician’s dutiful daughter, attending glitzy events, smiling for the camera, and generally not doing or saying anything that could offend and ruin her father’s illustriously long career. That was until the day the criminal gang called The Outfit struck an event her father was attending to steal jewelry off the wealthy attendees, Adeline watched as an elderly woman was accosted by a ruffian. Infuriated, she swiped his pistol and a scuffle ensued. During the chaos the trigger was pulled and the criminal was later incarcerated. Adeline was hailed as a hero, but inside her something had changed. Rather than sit and talk about change like her father, she wanted to exact that change and be the reason things changed for good. Two weeks later, and against her father’s wishes, she joined the Space Patrol.

As the co-pilot of the Argo3, Addy has distinguished herself as an exceptional Space Ranger. Her inquisitive mind has a deep lust for knowledge and understanding. Her brilliance and scientific knowledge has led to many mission’s success. A secret passion for the heart of Cpt Jax has caused more than a few awkward moments between them. Her motherly instincts have given her a strong feeling of protectiveness for Cadet Happy, causing many disagreements with Cpt Jax who she feels puts Happy in far too many dangerous situations.

CPT Jax Bolton [Space Patrol]

Captain Jax Bolton is an infamous pilot in the Space Patrol, a division of space cops that police the space lanes. They are tasked with the protection of civilians, merchants, and the arrest of criminals and pirates that constantly plague the trade and travel routes between the civilized planets of the United Planetary Federation (UPF).

Cpt Jax is a charismatic pilot with a roguish smile and ace with his pistol. He is faithful to his friends, loyal to the Space Patrol, quick with his wit, a strict adherence to the law, a brilliant detective, makes the ladies weak in the knees, often a bur in authorities' boot, and endlessly optimistic. When innocents are in danger and everything is on the line, Cpt Jax is the man the UPF sends in to save the day. They may not agree with his tactics, or condone his actions, but they will usually swallow their pride because he is able to stop bad things from happening.

Due to the numerous times in which he has foiled a major theft, freed a hostage, captured a person on the top 10 most wanted list, recovered stolen goods, and tossed bad guys in the slammer, he has made quite a long list of enemies. They are out there and they want revenge.

The future is worth the fight. - Cpt Jax

Here I am.. What are your other two wishes? - Cpt Jax

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; without law and justice he is but a savage. - Cpt Jax

The Argo3 [Space Patrol]

The Argonaut 3, or more commonly Argo3, is Captain Jax's patrol craft. The ship is designated with "3" because the previous two were destroyed in previous missions. United Planetary Federation (UPF) command determined these were NOT Cpt Jax's fault and allowed him to keep his commission. His sometimes on, sometimes off again 'secret' relationship with one particular Admiral Deenala is rumored to have had something to do with this. Both parties have adamantly denied these baseless allegations.

While the Argo3 is a relatively new ship, it has already seen numerous missions, including the recent rescue mission of Senator Sharrador when he was abducted by the notorious criminal Baron Balthazar. Luckily, the Argo3's crew was able to rescue the senator without sustaining too much damage to the craft. This damage allowed Cadet Happy, the whizkid sidekick of Cpt Jax, to make a few alterations to the Space Patrol standard specifications for the XB-17, hence the addition of the 'd' to the model.

Cadet Happy's modifications include; a 23.7% propulsion efficiency, an aft-mounted Radcon mini-space mine launcher, more than doubled the strength of the magnetic coupling, adding a pleasant sensory disperser to the ScrubbertronO2 3000, adding a touchscreen to the the craft's Bentelycraft ElectroReader, and adding AtomiCorp's new RadOven to the galley so the crew can enjoy a warm meal on long flights. In his spare time, he also swapped out the crew seats to a more plush design and repainted the Argo3 to Cpt Jax's preferred shade of orange.

Space Patrol!

High adventure in the wild, vast reaches of space! Daring missions in the name of justice and protecting the innocent civilians of the United Planetary Federation from interplanetary villains with diabolical schemes!

I am playing around something more for Risus, a science fiction 'setting' and characters in the vein of an old tyme radio or tv show from the 1950s or so. When heroes were heroes, villains were always evil scum with larger than life ambitions, the hero always got the beautiful maiden, and a plucky little sidekick played the comedic foil to the always serious hero that saves the day. You know, the stuff that led to the original Star Wars films. Also, shit that would not fly in today's media. 

Who knows, maybe I will write something with this setting and characters. 

Scabbies [Risus]

 

When a rift between worlds is created, these toddler-sized buggers will come charging through the divide creating havoc. They form small mobs and swarm their victims, bringing them down with sheer numbers, biting and clawing. They will eat their victims if given the chance. Their fear of the sun is well documented by the few that have survived an encounter. The sun causes them to turn to stone and moments later, shatter into dust.

Sergeant Jim Malone [Risus]

 

Sergeant Jim Malone is a staunch law-abiding citizen, he is a firm believer in the law and takes a hard line with those who break the rules. Malone has been a beat cop for over a decade, but just recently moved to the beat that includes the St. Bartholomew church. Since moving, he has begun to question things he has always thought were set in stone, having seen things his rational mind can simply not explain.
