 November 11, 2014 - 6:12am | Looking for an excuse to submit this to the zine All I've come up with so far is to make them a possible opponent: The dance troupe known as Dark World Dancers is a really a group of assassins posing as dancers. They all have a solid foundation in dance and martial arts but each has a specialty: melee weapons (blades of all sorts), demolitions, sharp shooting (sniper), poisons and thrown weapons (specializing in knives and throwing stars with applied poisons. Their manager is a fat dralasite named Charlo who also patches the team up, when needed (medic skill) and also creates the poisons they use. They tailor their assassinations to fit the target hence all the specialized methods of killing represented in the group. These aren't the Charlie's Angles of Star Play's holo vids; more like they are Charlo's Death Angels.? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 11, 2014 - 6:18am | They consider human targets excessively easy but vrusk can be a challenge. Edit: I suppose to be effective assassins they also need Tech, computers and robotics skills represented The sniper of the group also has environmental skill (for the stealth factor) The demolitions expert also has the technician skill (for disabling locks and alarms) the melee expert also has robotics skill The knife thrower (and grenade specialist by default) has computer skill Charlo will also have computer skill EDIT2: I'm feeling like there should be a sultery temptress in the group who has Psych-social skill, who uses it to read the weaknesses of a target and to hypnotize when required. However that almost requires a re-draw to add a fourth girl. Unless we nix the demolitions expert. Bombing attract attention and I feel like these girls rely on killing without drawing attention to themselves. Perhaps the dralasite has some demolitions skill but this puts his skill set all over the map medic, demolitions, and computers. So maybe they have a vrusk costume designer that is the demolitions expert? the inclussion of a vrusk costume designer gives you a NPC team of 6 and allows for flexibility in using them as foils for the PCs, 4 sexy girls, 1 dralasite and a vrusk. The dralasite & vrusk will likely have developed their racial abilities of lie detection and comprehension at least a little. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Yeah my dralasite isnt fat enough. Plus the Malthar surrounds himself with robots and that suggests a psychology that doesnt trust anyone what so ever so i cant see the Malthar mugging for a holo pic with a team of trained assassins like this, His paranioa would prevent it. On the other hand he would certainly use such a tool as this but would be very careful about how close he lets them get.

 November 26, 2014 - 7:41pm | Do you really need an excuse, it's art after all? I like the troupe of assassins bit. Or a cult group. The cult trains girls to dance at a young age and so they are considered the best dancers on the frontier for entertainment venues to have and thus they have cornered that market. Unbeknowst to the public [but knownst to us] they are really cultists and the young ladies engage in smuggling, spying and kidnappings as a way to fund the cult. Or instead of a cult it could be a dancer's guild. |
