Bio: I do not know when i was born. I do not know how i was raised or where i'm from or who i truly am, but i know one thing. I'm a killer... And i'm REALLY good at it.
My name is Ozuse and that's all your gonna get... Cause its all i even got. No one ever called me anything better so i figured 'Hey!' Some mystical kusari bitch said my soul tasted like an ocean of blood, I wonder if it was salty. Anyway the next thing she uttered was Ozuse and i kinda liked it... turns out it means "The end of the World" in some archaic kusari language... japa-some'im-eese. Well as far as my past goes, the forgotten past that is, i flew ships... in space... but i have these flashbacks... but some don't make any sense... Some ships i recognize, some nebulas are easily identified but some... Couldn't' be found no matter where i looked in the explored universe could i find anything that matched my memories... Until the day i looked in the history of the past era... Of Earth. Its like i remember bits and pieces of the Old war... the first war that drove us to Sirius from mankind's home system... But that's impossible... That would make me nearly a millennia old right?
The first memory i have that i remember without a flashback is waking up in the middle of a crowded spaceport. There where people everywhere. Men, women, children, entire families all trying their best to stay together amidst the confusion. I stumbled around dumbstruck wondering... everything. A man tripped and tumbled into me knocking us both to the ground when he did i experienced my first flashback{ I was running in a crowded corridor in what looked like a ship. The lights where dim but there where bright yellow and red lights flashing while an evacuation order was playing over the ships intercom. The ship took a hit and threw us off our orbit causing the gravity to toss us like dry beans in a bowl. We all tripped forward falling on the person in front of us}
The man helped me up apologizing. He began ranting about how the ship his family was on had been destroyed by pirates and he was searching for a way to track them down. He looked into my eyes and stopped mid-sentence. His face changed and i could tell by the look in his eyes that a shiver had just run down his spine. However his mood quickly changed and he seemed filled with a cautionary hope, when he spoke. He asked me if i could help him find his family. I wasn't sure what else to do at the time and so i accepted. He grew a huge grin, slapping his hand on my arm and presenting the other, i took his hand and my mind flared at me again{ His hand turned feminine and his nails turned cleaned and short. It felt smooth in some spots yet predominantly rough. I looked up and staired into the cool green eyes of a woman (or a cougar) she had dark brown hair which was tied back and she wore a blue military uniform barraded with medals. She shook my hand and then snapped her feet to attention to give me a salute, "Great Hunting Ace! You just topped the killboard, Commander Steiner will be relieved you're flying while he's on the mend." I saluted back and she about-faced to leave. Once she turned, i noticed pieces of letters on the back of her neck. It was a tattoo but all i could see was the top, i could barley make it out but it looked like it said Red Fox in a scarlet ink.}
The man took me to a garage where i could see a ship i recognized as a navy bomber but i didn't know how i knew that. He said we needed this ship to board the pirate's ship. When he said that it gave me an uneasy feeling but he handed me a hand gun and the feeling was replaced with a familiarity. "Look," he said, "we only need to board the ship and seal the door, the gun is only if we can't do it without being seen." I said ok and he started to lead the way sneaking up to the ships hatch. We quielty walked up to the ship but it was all in vane for we soon heard, "What the hell are you doing in here?" I turned and looked at our discoverer and the split second my eyes focused on him i saw his chest explode with light and when it cleared he crashed to the ground with a soft thud but the sound of the gun had already given us away. Men began mobilizing i could here their inquiries and rushing feet. Every time i turned to look toward a sound i saw a man with a gun and as soon as i did i saw him die. Seven men died before we sealed the ships hatch. The man was screaming at me demanding to know why i did that but i think he really was wondering how but he was too uneasy to ask.
He piloted us to the docking ring to leave the planet but once we got into space the navy commanded us to halt so that we might suffer justice. I pushed him out of the chair and i fell into my lost memories once again{ I was sitting at a table in a mildly crowded mess hall. Everywhere i looked i saw people wearing the same military uniform the woman was wearing, and by the look of my sleeves i was wearing it too. I was talking to a man sitting at the end of the table but i couldn't hear what anyone was saying. I could a snide remark on the mans face as he spoke and when i spoke he looked at me with a great disregard. As he spoke my shoulders began to flare back and I stood up and drove my fist through his head knocking him to floor. Just like i had reflexed in the garage i flinched and my side arm was in my hand as a gunshot rang out. Then the memory slowed down and i watched the bullet force the mans head to smash into the floor and erupt with a short geyser of scarlet rain. My hand was throbbing and my face was clenched like my fist. I lowered the gun and gazed around the room at my horrified audience} I sat down in the chair and grabbed the helm charging the cruise engines. The navy opened fire but i curved the ship into alignment with the tradelane and initiated trade lane travel just as they hit me with a CD. Halfway down i dropped us out of the tradelane and directed us toward a sector of the map i felt a familiarity.
We found a jump hole and once we got through the man i was with charted a course for a faraway system and engaged autocruise. He left the cockpit and i found him later in the cargo bay messing with a torpedo. "What are you doing?" i asked. "i've removed all of the explosive components from this torpedo and i'm now rigging the cap to blast off the torp if it reads pressure on the outside." "For what purpose?" "I'm going to load you into this torp and then fire you into the pirate vessel so you can board it." "Well that sounds like fun, are you sure it has the force capable of penetrating the ship?" "Well i allready set up a power reroute protocal to focus all the weapons power into the torpedo launcher and i know where the ships weak spot is." "how do you know that?" "Nevermind that, Friend... say... What is your name?" "I don't know, whats yours?" "You don't know? Well i guess you are lost." "So your name is..?" "What? oh nevermind that, i wouldn't want to make ya jelous. Say, why don't you head on up to the cockpit, its really best if someone stays at the helm."
The man had an oddness about him but i was more concerned with my own problems. Later i climbed into the torp and he handed me a pair of side arms this time and wished me good luck as he closed the torp and welded it in place. I heard nothing for the longest time but finally i heard my torp being fired. The man must of gotten the ships shields down because i successfully crashed into the vessel and the bottom flew off with a violent velocity. I slid out of the torp and rolled onto the deck, pistols in hand. When my feet his the gound i pounced up and looked down the corridor. It was littered with men and women looking to see what happened in the corridor but all where banished from this life in an instant. Without much difficulty i took the ship and the man boarded when i gave him the all's clear.
"I was not expecting you to be so effective i must admit, but you've worked out far greater then i could have ever expected." After he gave me his praise i began to look at the carnage and slaughter i had committed but i soon realized i hadn't taken a ship from pirates. "What class of ship is this?" i inquired.
"Its an armored transport." As we spoke he lead me through the ship until he came upon a locked door. "Since when do pirates fly armored transports?"
"A few do." as he answered he finished cracking the lock program on the door and it snapped out of the way.
"These people don't look like pirates."
"Your right my friend this is a research vessel." He turned around and presented our prize. At the far end of the room in a cage, restrained against the wall was a large purple organism.
"What the hell is that thing?!"
"Its a nomad." he said as he began stepping closer to it. "A very special nomad brain. This is the kind that controls the big battle ships, and its one of the hardest to obtain."
"This is what i killed all those people for?!"
He turned to me lifting a gun towards me, "Ya did well killer, but i'm a little to greedy to share this bounty." as he spoke a flap on the nomad brain opened up and a long appendaged slithered its way out of the hole. It flared its long neck and lunged at the mans spine. He began to scream and franticly try to rip the nomad of his back but it cut a slit along his spine and bore into his body. He passed out and dropped to the floor like a rag doll. I took a step closer to look but his eyes released a bright light and he began to hiss at me. He started toward me but i just shot the rooms pressure sensor on instinct and dove out the door as it rapidly clanked shut.
I stood up and began walking toward the bridge when the ship fluxed from weapons fire. I ran to the bridge to hear the incoming threats from: "Attention researcher vessel. We, the order, demand you eject the nomad brain or the next shot won't miss." "Uh we have lost control of the creature and sealed it in a room." "If you can not eject the nomad we will be forced to destroy your vessel." "Crap, would ya let me get to a eject pod first?!" "You have 5 seconds." "Mother..." I'll must say i ran to that eject pod faster than a zoo keeper running for the cage door from a monkey ****storm.
I got in and ejected the pod just in time to ride the blast out of the ship. The Order vessel picked me up as well as the nomad frozen in its human host. After a long barraging interrogation the Order was sure i was a LSF agent using a don't remember as my cover. They locked me in the brig with two armed guards stationed in the hall. Well most brigs have a back door and the ship made from scrap parts had about five. I managed to get out by utilizing the energy from the light fixture to power the vent hatch and open it wide enough to squeeze out. Then i worked my way along the lifelines of the ship to the main power hub where i disconnected the main feedback line. The ship went dark, the gravity stopped working and everything stopped working. I had successfully crippled the ship in a manageable fashion. I worked my way through the dark corridors avoiding the Order trying to drift about the ship. The zero gravity and practically no lighting made it fairly easy to sneak about undetected. I reached the armory and grabbed a pair of side arms with little time to spare for the Order had restored power and my feet where once again drawn to the floor. These side arms where primitive though, they had bullets, and they where LOUD. Once again a jolted my way through the corridors of a ship killing as i went but this time there where no more flashes of light but what was really there all along... explosions of blood. I took the ship but not before the Captain began the self destruct sequence, it began destroying ship systems. Shields, weapons, scanner, thruster, but i managed to stop it by destroying the main computer. All the ships data was lost, all the weapons where destroyed, the scanner was pretty cooked, the shield generator actually blasted off the ship and the thruster only worked in little spurts. The ship was totally crippled but i managed to limp to a freeport and dock for much needed repairs.
When i got underway i made my way to Omicron Alpha seeking work for the Outcasts. I never knew exactly why but i felt inclined to seek employment from them. It is from the outcasts i obtained all of my equipment. Two battle Razors, two shield busters as i called em, 4 Cerberus turrets, a RCD, Class 8 positron GB shield, and my very favorite... the Cheetah Thruster. I took a lot of missions from the outcasts but they distrusted me for quite a while. However my displacement was made use of by one of the hire ups in the Malatesse. Though i was told the mission came from a Don i never had any proof for the secrecy of the mission. After a Malatesse Naval ship was sent to hessian space to measure the hessians' hostility it was destroyed and this has opened the door to unofficial actions. The outcast who hired me would deny this completely but i would be killed if i gave his name. They sent me to Omega-54 to a hessian shipyard behind a gas giant. They wanted me to steal a Hessian gunboat but i needed a way inside. I went to (Hessian base in Dresden) there i was able to dock and i managed to hack into encrypted files. I found the station manifest and was able to find the name of a Guard Hessian who actually had a family on the base. On top of that juicy info i was able to download the base schematics. I found a sealed corridor that led to a hatch on the asteroid surface. This gave me a most ingenious plan. The corridor was fairly close to the quarters where his family lived. I worked my way through the base and sabotaged all the doors leading to their room. Then I lined their door when and compound that when electrified would erode the metal. I returned to my ship and checked with the station's manifest to make sure his family was in their room. then i undocked and flew outside the station positioning my cargobay door with the hatch. I activated the corrosive material destroying the door and blasted the hatch open. All the door that we're not sabotaged snapped shut but the door to the family's quarters would stay closed and slowly pulled open until the mother was pulled out hanging on to the door frame but her daughter couldn't hang on to the bed and she got sucked toward the door and knocked her mother out. They bounced off the walls as they where forced along by the vacuum until they where in it, but they couldn't feel it. It passed by and they where in a ship that pressurized immediately. A door whooshed open and a tall man wearing dark clothes carrying a primitive gun slowly stomped over to them and I said "Hi there. Would ya mind doing exactly as i say so i don't have to hurt ya?"
The next part was fairly easy. I used my leverage to bend the Guard Hessian over the fulcrum of my knee and i spanked him repeatedly... Figuratively. I made my puppet open an airlock which I actually jumped into from my ship wearing a suit... When my ship was out of radar range... I think... Well it was pretty damn far i'll tell ya that much. I **** myself but it was a combat suit with a waste collection... however that only works if you don't wear pants. However, even with a turd in my jons i still managed to extort loyalty from my puppet hessian. He sabotaged the stations systems long enough for us to get out of radar range with the bounty. Though full operation takes four people i'm able to pilot the ship with acceptable functionality. When we got out of range the hessian pleaded that we go to the Order GB to stop the countdown of the plutonium bomb i left in the engine room... but my mission parameters wouldn't let me and i blew his brains all over the bridge window like i was just sneezing. I just reacted... The bomb went off, the ship was gone along with his family and him too. I brought the ship to the Outcast guard system to meet my employer but he never showed. When i got back to the ship i found a note saying my contact had been taken out and the blame for the job had been pushed on him. They had taken a copy of the ships schematics and it was now mine.
Hi i'm a merc, i'm for hire and i'm loyal to the highest bidder.
