Other characters/experiences: I have played as the very unsuccessful Dark Jedi, Alexzander9, who was in the unsuccessful faction, The Order Of The Black Fist. I also play two charcters on TGC, Matin Son and DeltoraZERO, who are both in the TGC faction, The Jedi Council.
Name: Delt Ero Age: 23 Alignment: Dark Side (as in Imperial, not Sith) Race: Kel Dor Hair: None Eyes: Red Gender: Male Height: 6 foot 5 inches Weight: 150 lbs Home Planet: Dorin Outfit: A long, black leather suit, with light signs of wearing at the knees, black boots with hidden blades at the soles, a dark hood covering the top of his head with a black facemask covering all but his eyes.
He also wears black gloves, with attached steel knuckles.
History: Born on Dorin, Delt Ero was brought up in a traditional environment, getting taught the normal things all Kel Dor kids were taught. But, he was not normal like the others. He was... a prankster. He would let out his gas in class, throw stones at houses and numerous other things. One day he found a particulary large rock and threw it at a house. It went through the window, and to Delt's annoyance, hit someone. He later saw a news report on a unknown killer, who threw a rock through a window, killing someone. Naturally, the boy ran. He ran to his house, being at the market, and stole his father's car and wallet. He then proceeded to drive illegally to a rent-a-ship bay, and rented a ship, as you do in those establishments. Strangely enough, he had no law enforcers chasing after him. He hired a pilot, who had an eyebrow raised at a kid being the captain of the ship, but still took Delt's money, or rather, his father's money.
He began to make his way to the planet that he had always dreamed of seeing, Coruscant. On the way, he slowly learnt how to pilot a ship, and began to mould into a true captain. The pilot then 'ditched' Delt on Coruscant, and so the boy was left to his own devices. What he liked best. Second best was either destroying stuff, or blowing stuff up. He travelled around a bit and got to know the roots of the place. One day he found a message on a job seeking holo. "Three man crew of a Neimoidian Shuttle, seeking a captain." it said. Well, he had learned quite a bit in the short flight, under teaching of his pilot. And so he went and found the ship and crew, and applied. Though they did not sign him on as captain, they let him cruise with them to learn about the workings of ship travel. They soon found a captain, who was vey likeable, and set off, transporting authority figures to different planets. This continued for around two years, and by then Delt was 13. He knew everything about being a captain, and about being a pilot. He had flown the ship in space a few times, and had captained it.
One day, when they were on the planet Bespin to transport officials there to settle a recent uprising, he happened upon a dropped datapad, and went through it. In one of the journals, it talked of a ship that had a 100 man crew, that was planning to attack a small mining facility and control it for future purposes. He sought out the location of the ship at once, not even telling his own captain what he was doing. He told the captain of the 100 man ship about the datapad, and asked to join the crew. The captain, Captain Brek, was doubtful of Delt's abilities at first, but after seeing him demonstrate his accuracy with the gun, his commanding skills and his pilot skills (with a two man fighter), he signed the boy on. They successfully captured the mining facility, and Delt stayed with the ship for the next ten years.
He was 23, and he was an experienced vet on the ship. They had now a small army, The Marauders, 500 men in troops and 200 men in crew. And it was no longer one ship. They had a total of five Landing/Attack ships, complete with 1600 weapons and a lot of ammunition. Delt was XO of the third ship, Umir , and had 40 crew and 100 troops below him. The army was situated to attack a large number of fuel depots, based on a barely-habitable jungle planet. The mission was to take control of the depot, without losing too much of it in the proccess. Enemy casualties did not matter.
They were just out of firing range for either side, as The Marauders were waiting for a signal. One of the five ships had approached from behind, and had landed it's 100 to begin the first assault. The captain of Umir, Captain Orso, had his hand in the air, like he was expecting a high-five at any minute. The signal was due any minute now, and right on time, it came. He brought his hand down quickly, shouting orders the second the rocket whizzed past the second ship. Delt ran around, shouting the same orders at the crew. "Shields up at full!" Orso shouted. "Shields up at full, men!" Delt echoed. The fleet began to fire on the location, the gunners making sure that they were shooting nowhere near the depots. The fleet began to advance, slowly but surely. They soon landed, and dropped out the rest of the 500. The ships pulled away, firing still, and also waiting. The Marauders were not an elite force. They had strength through numbers and weaponry, but the enemy obviously had that and elite training. The Umir's 100 was almost instantaniously snuffed to 50, having been barraged by fire from numerous gun turrets. Delt wanted to be down there, fighting with the troops, but he knew his job was up in the Umir, being the XO.
The battle progressed, and The Marauders were still not taking any ground, just killing a few for every ten of theirs. "Keep up the fire!" the Captain shouted, noticing some hesitated gunners. Delt echoed once again. The Umir had around 20 troops left, all still being held down by turrets. "We're not doing so well, Captain." Delt mumbled into Orso's ear. "Yes, but you can't win 'em all." the Captain replied. "Also, Commander Brek hasn't said to stop yet." Ah yes, Delt thought. But the XO had a sudden thought. "Have we had any transmissions from him in the last hour?" he asked. "No, your reason?" said Orso, glancing at a tactical display. "Is there any possibility that he could have been killed?" Delt asked, starting to worry. "How would that be possible? He's in space, they couldn't just..." he suddenly looked over at Brek's ship, which unpredictably exploded. "That... was unexpected." Delt said.
Delt Ero managed to escape with his life, but only just, after two boarding parties came onto the ship and attacked the green crew. He got in an empty escape pod and ejected. No one came after him. He then found himself back at Coruscant some time later, and tried to find another crew. On his search though, he remembered something Brek once said to him. "We may be strong and able, but The New Order is better. They're unstoppable. We'll never attack them, not any day. Think of us as 100 men, right? The New Order would have 60,000."
Delt spent a time finding this 'Unstoppable' Order, and did so. Knowing already that one of their operation points was Coruscant, he headed out to the recruitment center.
