The Ronin recruitment office, located on Planet New Tokyo ,in the Shibuya district, is a rather dull looking room, free of any kind of distractions or similar. All you would notice is a moderately sized glass table, with a computer and a pile of documents next to it.
As soon as you were done glaring around the tastelessly furnished room, another man, known as Yoshikane, would enter the room from a second door located behind the table. He would straighten his coat, and sit down on the table. He crossed his arms and leaned back ...
[color=#000000]<div align="right][font=Palatino Linotype]"My name is Genzo Yoshikane, you are seeking me, I take it ? Well, that's not surprising. I suspect many to follow. I can understand you, you and everyone who might step into this office after you, it's hard to live a life without any drive, or purpose. Now, what happened to you ? Are you an exiled soldier ? Or a former criminal who was thrown out of your tough little gang because of whatever reason ? Or are you simply seeking a purpose to exist ?
I can provide you with that, and even more. Just tell me about you, about you and your past, and some other fancy details I might need to know about.
I need to know enough of my people to make sure I can trust them..."
Izoke Badashi looked around the room in a bored manner and stifled yawn.
"Well, there's not much to know about me. Just another criminal who got his ship shot up by the Naval Forces."
He turned his back to Yoshikane.
"I don't actually have a ship at the current time. But I got my eyes on an Eagle that's landed just a few blocks away. By the dusty looks of it, the owner won't mind me... borrowing it."
Izoke turned back to the other man and grinned.
"My old ship was my home. So, now I happen to need a new one. Want me?"
[color=#000000][font=Palatino Linotype]"I see, I see...
Well, firstly I'd like to know your name. On the second note I'd like to know more about your past, how did you grow up ? How did you get into criminal business ? What kind of criminal business did you attend to ?"
Grinning, Izoke crosses his arms before his chest.
"Ah, of course. I always forget the formalities. My name is Izoke Badashi. I was born and grew up on Naga Station in Tau-29. My mother took care of me alone since my father had left us just after my birth. I killed him later on, by the way. Well, we weren't able to pay the rent for our apartment on Naga, so we shipped out on a transport headed for Coronado. On board, some of the men tried to rape my mother and killed her."
He grins again.
"Three out of four of those bastards are dead now too. Well, since I was on my own then, I decided to make a living by whatever means necessary. I worked on a smuggling ship for a while. Then I became the co-pilot of a freelancer. And finally, when I had the money, I got myself a Wasupu. A beautiful ship, you know?"
He sits down on the floor and leans back on his arms.
"Well, and then I started working for the "bad guys." I dealt with whatever I was told to deal with. Though, I never got to be a great combat-pilot. So I mainly did the sort of jobs that included pirating transports. I escorted a handful of smugglers too."
[color=#000000][font=Palatino Linotype]Yoshikane tilted his head slightly, listening closely to the words of Izoke Badashi
"So, it appears that you're a pretty tough guy, huh ? Atleast that's what you sound like ... killing people and all that. Well look, I'm not looking for killers, you know ? Of course, killing is something common these days, and it will be on our path, but what else would you be able to provide ? Why do you think I should pick 'you' ?
Yoshikane smiled, and leaned back into his chair again ...
"Tough enough to grow up outside of house space with no parents."
Izoke shrugged not-caringly.
"And I killed those people for revenge. They hurt me, I hurt them back. Worse. It's definitely not what I excel at. I'm better off smuggling. Or escorting. Or... intercepting transports in a very pirate-like manner."
He grinned again.
"Of course, I'f I am to smuggle, I'll need to get a suitable ship first. That Eagle out there's nice, but has nearly no cargo space."
