Darcy Avarik
Darcy Avarik was a human male smuggler and bounty hunter, aligned with Clan Vizsla. He is very young and usually quite brash, often acting impulsively. He provides a stream of conversation for anyone who will listen, which often alternates between irritating and entertaining his audience.
He was sold into slavery to settle his parents debts to a merchant guild owned by Nalya the Hutt. Always a bright boy with a gift of socialising, he quickly learnt the value of secrets and was able to leverage himself into a position within the guild's hierarchy. He even managed to outwit those he served, winning himself his freedom after securing a particularly valuable asset for Nalya.
However, as the permanent tattoo on his neck proves, no one is ever truly free of the Hutts. Darcy enjoyed his freedom despite the price on his head, riding a combination of luck, lies and larceny until he found his way to the Godless Matron, where Nalya had no influence. Then the Collective invaded.
During the battle on the Matron, Darcy aligned with Clan Vizsla and was given a choice: either pay his bounty to the Clan, or be returned o the Hutts. He became one of Clan Vizsla's foundlings turning his skills at smuggling and fast-talking to the Clan's advantage.
After bringing in a large swath of credits and savings as a cargo runner and quartermaster, Darcy Avarik eventually formalised his belief in the Mandalorian Way, and has recently adopted the Creed and tried his hand at bounty hunting, with mixed success. His first formal contract was to capture the thief responsible for stealing from the Kandosii Casino, but Darcy made a different call.
Caden Itharus
Caden Itharus was a human male slicer and droid mechanic. Blessed with an incredible intellect and an amazing fit for droids and circuitry, Caden worked in a small droid and slicing store on addthis for the addthis Guild.
Droids
Ruby
Backpack droid RU-B1, affectionately known as Ruby, is one of Caden's earliest AIs. She is also the craziest, possessing a high level of curiosity and a strong belief that she can accomplish anything and everything she decides to do. She was designed to be brave, curious and adventurous, qualities that Caden wished he held more strongly. These traits were programmed quite deliberately to help Caden with his endeavours.
Ruby will often perform scouting, repairing or slicing duties on Caden's behalf, and these same traits will often lead to Ruby sparking a chain of events with her unpredictable behaviour, or causing significant mayhem while accomplishing the simplest of tasks.
Skar
Standing two meters tall and built like a heavily armored droid, 5K-4R is a sleek and imposing figure that towers above his wards. To the naked eye, Skar appears to be an old dark trooper droid with several modifications, including multiple layers of ultra-hard alloys that grant him exceptional strength and durability. His custom photoreceptors are blue, but will gradually redden through purple and into a furious red depending on the threat level he senses. He has blasters built into his arms and a retractable blade for melee combat.
Skar was designed as a bodyguard and valet droid, to anticipate Caden's needs and to protect him from danger. The AI that controls Skar is a marvel of combat programming, and he has a strong affinity for tactical analysis and decisive action. His extensive knowledge of combat behaviours comes at the expense of his social capabilities, leaving Skar very laconic. The AI will often use only one or two words to convey the meaning of his actions on the rare occasions that he bothers to explain his behaviour, which is almost exclusively fixated on the care and safety of those he considers family.
Maxx
Technically named the "Manager of Murder, Movement and Multiple Xenial Xenosystems", M4XX was programmed to manage the care and piloting of Caden's ship, currently the S-161 XL luxury yacht, *Navigator*. The AI has a predatory nature born from Caden's overactive imagination when it comes to space battles, and a tendency towards sarcasm born from Caden's insecurities about socialising and sharing his home. Despite his rough edges and tough talk, Maxx has been modified to include a restraining function that drastically changes his personality. This helps to stop him from going too crazy, as unlike the other droids this one has laser cannons and a hyperdrive.
