Pre-RP

Trenton was born on a nomadic colony ship within Yamatain space. It housed many families that traveled from planet to station and onwards. Many of the families were technicians that sold their services as they traveled. Trenton had learned the very basics of repair work operating different technologies by the time he was eleven.

It was early in his thirteenth year that his ship was targeted by pirates. The ship was attacked mercilessly and boarded. The pirates rounded up the young and able bodied and took them upon their ship and killed the rest. They quickly divided up the slaves to either keep or sell. Trenton was chosen to stay and work aboard the ship while his father was killed and mother was sold away.

This particular pirate ship was the Black Star captained by a Geshrin named Jameel Forrest. Trenton's burgeoning skills with technology was found useful and he was soon fixing and maintaining various pieces to the ship. Though he had lost his family Trenton soon found the freedom and excitement of being a pirate irresistible. He was soon elevated from slave to fledgling pirate, fulfilling more and more duties.

He was even brought into the honored pastime on the Black Star, Spacing. The ship would catch their prey and break the hull spacing the occupants. Afterwards men in EVA suits would simply go into the floating tomb and take what they wanted. Trenton, now known as Wylde, found he had a knack for maneuvering in zero gravity and was a constant choice for the salvage teams.

He was a crewmember for many years until, on a spacing run, Nepleslian military interrupted the pillaging. Jameel, seeing that he was in a position to get captured, chose to run and leave behind the salvage team. Wylde watched as his, for lak of a better term, family flew away leaving him stranded and caught. While the Nepleslians had little proof of Wylde's wrong doing other than catching him on the dead ship, that didn't stop them from imprisoning him for a few years.

He spent his time in prison stewing over being left behind. It ate away at him that he was loyal and yet so disposable to the Black Star. He then vowed that only one thing would own his loyalty from their, money. After his eventual release he began doing little maintenance jobs here and there but had high aspirations to use his skills to make himself money through scavenging. He actively sought out contracts as a skilled salvager for a long term operation.

Skills

Communication

  • Wylde learned early in his life to speak, read and write in Trade from his family. Once taken and turning to the life of piracy he learned to speak Yamataigo. Though he can speak and understand Yamataigo well he has only a crude understanding for reading and writing it.

Fighting

  • Fighting became a part of life aboard the Black Star. Hand to hand and knife fights were commonplace on board and more so in boarding actions. Wylde is particularly partial to whips or chains in a close combat scenario. Firearms were another necessity in life that Wylde became skilled at. He is able to use most pistols, rifles and grenades.

Maintenance/Repair

  • Thanks to the family business Wylde learned early on the life long skill of maintenance. He is able to disassemble and reassemble many different types of machinery. Wylde has developed a more focused attention to electrical machinery i.e. consoles, monitors, panels and wiring. Alternatively he is able to also use these skills for sabotage and other types of nefarious work.

Technology Operation

  • Yet another skill Wylde learned young and kept with him. He is decent in computer use and diagnostics. He is also able to grasp the basics of most machines and use them effectively. Whether it be digital or analog he is able to get a handle on how it works.

Starship Operation

  • Although Wylde has little experience with large starships he has had frequent situations operating most mid to small sized ships. He is not an Ace or particularly highly skilled but that doesn't stop him from trying daring maneuvers.

Haggling/Selling

  • What Wylde has, people want. He has become good at selling, haggling and bartering and is willing to deal at a moment's notice. He has the most experience peddling “junk” or second hand goods but make no mistake, he is getting the best deal for that junk. Because of this talent he also has made various connections with fences, smugglers and small time traders.

Physical - Zero G

  • Wylde has spent an excessive amount in space, pillaging other ships. He has a smooth familiarity with 'spacewalking' and is quite fluid in space. He understands the dangers and benefits of zero g maneuvers and can act effectively in fights and moving machinery.
