that would be excellent AlexFili! i tried to draw a slig once and it ended up looking like a spider. :confused:

quite true about adding violence, i mean Slaskia wrote stories that contained hardly any violence, and she was a very popular writer on these forums at one time. and sometimes its has a greater effect on the reader if you only add violence unexpectedly and in moderation, otherwise the reader becomes desensitised to it.

i would love to own a copy of SligHunt. :D

anyway i'll post that deleted daft chapter tomorrow.

MA 05-17-2009 08:55 AM

right, this is the ridiculous original end to the court martial chapter. read and laugh.

“Sick bastard!!” A slig’s voice yelled from somewhere in the Witness seats, then soon enough, they were all shouting and pointing at Nox. All this anger directed at him, for something that was accidental. Nox was understandably taken aback from this sudden burst of hatred.

“Order! Order!!” The Vykker Judge shrieked whilst banging the wooden hammer almost manically. By this point the Law slig was idly walking around the Courtroom with his arms stretched out, looking up at the white, plastered ceiling and repeating loudly to himself “…the autopsy said he had broken face tentacles, it did, the autopsy said he had broken face tentacles…” chuckling every so often.

Just lappin’ up that praise, sonny, just lappin’ it up…you’ve really outdone yourself this time, Nox. Everyones throwing things at yeh. This is a fuckin’ Court Martial, it’s gone to shit!

Everyone became even more rowdy, some of the high ranking decorated sligs in the Jury stand were now beginning to shout insults at Nox, and the Witnesses were well on their way to throwing whatever they could get their hands on, even the ‘Law slig’s’ briefcase appeared briefly in the air, with papers and pens flying out of it, before the case it self hit the marble floor open and upside down with a sharp bang, paperwork spread all over the place.

“ORDER!! I SAID ORDER YOU FUCKING LUNATICS!! ORDER!!…SHIT!!” The Vykker Judge screamed above the horrendous noise.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG went the hammer, crazily.

Nox tried his best to cover his head from incoming paperwork and pencils, and heard the slig guard from behind him say;

“What in Odd…this is insane, this is getting out of control!” And he signaled to the others by the door to use force in order to withhold the peace. And just in time.

It was beginning to get more violent, and all inhabitants of the Courtroom (apart from the Glukkon Juniors, which had left the room before it got too dangerous) were throwing things at each other as well as Nox. It was mass hysteria! It seemed that they were enjoying the chance to just go mad until stopped, Nox had never seen anything like it. He never knew Court Martials could end up in an ‘office work’ brawl.

Chairs were starting to get flung around, and people seemed to had forgotten about Nox now. Mudokons taking their chance to beat sligs with the wooden chairs, whilst other sligs where fighting each other as well as everyone else. Even the poor typewriter slig had all of his hard work made void by some idiot mudokon who proceeded to throw the typewriter into the Jury stand, most probably hitting some high ranking Officer slig. The typewriter slig then lunged at the mudokon, and they both fell out of sight. Nox noticed the ‘Law slig’ run up to the slig that had objected multiple times during the trial, and simply sock him around the side of his head with his fist, to which the hardy slig counteracted with a punch directly into the ‘Law slig’s’ rib cage. The ‘Law slig’ then stumbled backwards, clutching at his chest. He fell to the floor while the other slig watched him and the chaotic battle raged on about them. It would appear the ‘Law slig’ had a broken rib, or ribs.

Look at that big wuss! Obviously he ‘aint done no service!

More sligs entered the surreal scene, come to restore peace, seeing as any chance of withholding it was long gone. That’s when Nox was escorted out of the Courtroom by slig guards, and when he saw a small, wooden hammer hurtle across the courtroom and smack a mudokon off the back of its head, which looked like it stung, judging by the mudokon’s pained expression and rubbing of his head, afterwards.

“ORDER!! OOOOOOOOOORDEEEEER!!! ODD DAMN IT!!” This is all Nox could here from down the corridor as he was frog marched back to his cell.

You aint gonna’ find no ‘order’ there sonny boy! Heh heh, oh yeah, what a finish to a truly shit career, eh Nox! Off to prison we go!!

They haven’t even passed sentence yet, theres still a good chance-

Is there fuck! Your livin’ in a dream world Nox, ‘bout time you woke up.

Oh just fuck yourself, go on! Just piss off! I’ve had enough of yeh.

…I don’t think so, Nox’y…

i'm so glad i rewrote that, its embaressing. in my defence i was very tired at the time, thats why i never post a chapter once i've only just written it, so i can check it in the morning.

character prifiles tomorrow or the next day, and then this thread will have reached its end i think.

AlexFili 05-17-2009 04:11 PM

Thanks, I'll give it a read.

It was funny when they started throwing things at each other. It reminds me a bit of those scenes in action movies where the hero escapes when the villains fight each other.

MA 05-19-2009 04:07 PM

sorry about the delay, been occupied with SLIG'S WEIRD!
here's the first 5 in alphabetical order, i have most of them done but the next in line isn't done yet, if you know what i mean.

Billy’s profile:

NAME: Billy.

RACE: Mudokon.

CURRENT AGE: 22

OCCUPATION(S): Oil factory labourer 3 years.
Spare parts factory labourer 9 years.
(Currently in prison serving 30 year sentence).

LIKES: Prison food, sticking close to Glon.

DISLIKES: Arguments.

FEARS: Blood, someone harming Glon.

BOSS: Currently Captain Rolin and Sronti.

CHARACTERISTICS: Very quiet and submissive if left alone. When aggravated he becomes wild and most definitely deadly, having earned his nick name ‘The bull-scrab’ in the numerous riots he’s been involved in.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Very childlike.

DREAMS: His only dream is to be able to follow Glon everywhere, and never leave his side, even follow him to the grave. This kind of obsession cannot be healthy.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: None.

RANK: Inmate.

PAST EXPERIENCES: The reason Billy is in prison is due to the following experience; during his work at the spare parts factory he was called into the head office by two slig guards and was severely reprimanded, having been accused of thieving, which wasn’t true; he hardly had the intelligence. Someone had been stealing expensive engine parts, and it was costing the factory hundreds of moolah. The managers must have known that it must have been a group of sligs doing it and earning a bit of moolah on the side, but they couldn’t pin it to the perpetrator, and wanted to make an example, thus they used Billy. Billy was reprimanded via batons and fists by the two slig guards in front of the glukkon boss. Whilst on the floor, beaten and panting, something inside him snapped, and a red mist descended. He proceeded to incapacitate the two guards, who were even armed with rifles, by elbowing the one to his right in the stomach, using him as a shield as the other slig fired at his friend and killed him, attempting to hit Billy, who took the rifle from the now dead slig he was grappling and disposed of the other slig messily. The glukkon panicked, understandably, and he set off the alarms by stepping on the emergency pedal under his desk, but Billy advanced on the helpless glukkon anyway. Slig security burst into the room to see Billy sitting in a pool of blood behind an overturned desk, face, hands and forearms covered in blood, with the mutilated body of the glukkon boss behind him, his suit torn off (this could have sparked his fear of blood). Amazingly, slig security did not kill Billy, by this point he was very submissive and passive, and he was collected by official Magog Cartel Headquarters staff so he could stand trial, seeing as he had killed a glukkon and was not yet dead. The Magog Cartel is very corrupted (and corruptible), and so when they heard that this mudokon had killed a troublesome and incompetent glukkon that owned a small time business, they secretly thanked their lucky stars for their fortune, and simply sentenced Billy to serve a sentence in jail, rather than be executed. The glukkon Billy murdered was too low on the corporate ladder to have anyone pay for a thorough investigation. Billy has so far served 10 years imprisonment.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): 2 counts of murder.
Numerous counts of slig & mudslaughter.
Numerous fighting offences.

PHYSIQUE: Billy is a great, hulking form, covered in muscle and scars. He must weigh about 20 stone, and is nearing 7 feet in height. A born fighter. He wasn’t always this strong though; when he first entered the prison he was just very tall and lanky, making him a prime target. He developed such muscle mass when he worked on the chain gang, mining, for three years. Usually people are only sent down there for a week or a month at most, but Billy had committed yet another serious crime. Due to the prison’s small size, and Rolin’s poor paperwork ability, the crime Billy committed has been lost in a sea of files and red tape. Not even Billy can remember.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): Billy acts very childlike at time, and this could be due to many reasons, but the most likely reason would be brain damage, if you take into account his lifestyle and history.

SUMMARISATION: Billy is someone you’d want on your side in a fight, brawl or riot. But putting his huge physique to the side, he wouldn’t be a very good talker seeing as he now see’s the world through child’s eyes, and thinks the same. Well, any conversation you did get out of him would most likely be one way or not make much sense.

DEMISE: He is still alive and is still serving his sentence in Sronti’s prison.

Cossle’s profile:

NAME: Cossle.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 16

OCCUPATION(S): Slig Barracks recruit for 2 years.
Slig Barracks staff sergeant for 5 years.
Slig Barracks second lieutenant for 3 years.
Slig Barracks captain for remaining 6 years.

LIKES: Fist fighting, war in general, punishing other sligs (best suited him when he was a staff sergeant).

DISLIKES: ‘Nice’ sligs, requests for militaristic promotions, sligs disobeying orders.

FEARS: His rank being taken from him and having to share a bunker with sligs he has denied promotions.

BOSS: General Dripik.

CHARACTERISTICS: A very mean character, most sligs describe him as a ‘nasty piece of work’. He enjoys fighting (like many sligs), whether it be in the heat of battle, or just a scrap with a lower ranking officer. He will get to know a slig and learn all of his deepest secrets and dreams, only to uncover, shatter and deny them when the time comes. He truly does get a ‘kick’ out of being nasty. A very bad character.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Spiteful, ruthless and unforgiving, but not a liar.

DREAMS: He once dreamed of killing Farlin in battle during the ‘D&M’ war so that it looked like Maylon sligs killed him, as Farlin was his greatest, and only, adversary. A twisted dream for a fevered mind, but it seems that it all worked out for Cossle in the end.

He no longer had any dreams after this, or not enough time to think of some anyway, seeing as he was always swamped with paperwork due to all the new legal procedures Slig Barracks have to perform since the ‘D&M’ war.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: 200

RANK: Captain.

PAST EXPERIENCES: When Cossle was a staff sergeant he once beat a slig corporal to death during punishment for going ‘easy’ on mudokons. It was accidental, and he did it with his bare hands. The corporal was originally meant to receive 10 flogs, but he asked Cossle to ‘just get on with it, fucker’. Cossle lost his temper and beat him to a pulp with his fists, without the corporal even get a swing at Cossle. The rest of the details are sketchy at best, but one defining detail is that Cossle gave the corporal around 45 flogs with the flogging strap as he lay on the floor. It is unknown if the corporal died before he was flogged or not, but he had no reaction to the punishment when he finally received it. Cossle was promoted to second lieutenant a week or so after, obviously the captains of Slig Barracks at the time were impressed when they read the report.

During the ‘D&M’ war, Cossle and his platoon were involved in one of the most bloody battle’s of the war, even more fierce than ‘The Charge of Bunker D-14’. It was called ‘Fenton’s Last Stand’ as a large storage facility owned by a glukkon called Fenton decided to team up with Maylon and use his storage space to help house Maylon’s artillery and sligs. Of course it was heavily defended, and had already been assaulted by Roundtap platoon led by lieutenant Bost (called ‘Fenton’s Battle), but they were forced to retreat and were almost totally decimated thanks to the precariously placed machineguns on the storage facility’s perimeter. Cossle led his platoon, who were tired from having marched 35 miles non-stop to get there seeing as their transport trucks had been driven into the ground and were now obsolete (petrol tanks empty, tire threads worn down dangerously, and generally war torn and unstable. Slig Barracks didn’t have the resources at the time to send out fuel and mechanics or replacement transport), and they managed to blow a hole in the apparently ‘impenetrable’ fortress, thus treating the Maylon sligs inside to a fierce fire fight, and winning as they took them by surprise (they were under the delusion that no one could enter the facility). Cossle was ordered over the radio to kill the glukkon Fenton in any way he deemed fit as the glukkon was labelled a traitor, so Cossle, seizing his chance, decided to have him lynched in front of his platoon, much to their grim enjoyment. Cossle has probably gone down in history as one of the very select few sligs that have killed a glukkon and gotten away with it. I’m sure he was very proud with his actions before and after ‘Fenton’s Last Stand’. He may have been an angry and cruel slig, but he won one of the hardest battles in the ‘D&M’ war that no other slig, maybe even Farlin, would have been able to win. Therefore he played a major part in the war, and proved his ability on that day.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): Countless war crimes.
3 counts of murder.
2 counts of sligslaughter.
Countless fighting offences.

PHYSIQUE: Cossle is an average sized slig of average build, a little shorter than most sligs. He may not be much to look at but you wouldn’t want to cross him once you heard of his reputation, and it wouldn’t be long until you did. He has a long, thin scar running along his forearm from when he was slashed by a slig wielding a knife while he was still a recruit during his early years.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): None, if not a slight anger management problem.

SUMMARISATION: From many slig’s points of view Cossle is ‘a right bastard’ (their words), but as ‘Fenton’s Last Stand’ proves, he was a very efficient slig captain. He deserved his rank whether other sligs think he did or not, he just needed to work on his socialising.

DEMISE: Nox killed Cossle in his office with a MK 7 Magnum. He shot Cossle four times in the chest from a short distance, and an accurate medical assumption would be that Cossle died after the third shot and was therefore dead before he hit the ground, due to the calibre and power of the pistol in question, even though the shots were fired in quick succession. The first two shots entered Cossle’s ribcage and pierced his left lung, the third shot entered the heart, ultimately finishing off Cossle, and the fourth and last shot (which you could call overkill) hit his breastbone, shattering part of it. A violent death probably suited Cossle best.

Dran’s profile:

NAME: Dran.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 18

OCCUPATION(S): Slig Barracks recruit and war veteran (previously corporal).

LIKES: Conversations he can hear, telling young sligs about his war days.

DISLIKES: ‘Mumblers’, cocky sligs, glukkons (since they removed his rank).

FEARS: Being thought of as incapable, being forgotten.

BOSS: General Dripik

CHARACTERISTICS: Dran is almost deaf, so any conversations you have with him will most likely be one-way (this is due to a close encounter during the ‘D&M’ war, explained below). He is very old fashioned and believes all new sligs should be sent to some kind of war to toughen them up. He never eats breakfast because he believes it ‘slows you down’, especially if a firefight breaks out. Sadly, he is slowly being taken over by senility; this sometimes causes memory loss and feelings of great anger for no reason.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Half deaf, half mad, half dead.

DREAMS: Dran dreamt of reliving his war days with a younger body, to prove he could have been the best.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: 50

RANK: War veteran.

PAST EXPERIENCES: Dran once attempted to stop a charging platoon of ally sligs before ‘The Charge of Bunker D-14’, at the commands of his superior officer, captain Farlin. He was shot by one of the Maylon sligs from behind, merely causing a flesh wound, and was concluded to be a ‘lucky shot’. The platoon did not stop, despite all this. Moments before, he saved the life of Nox when he absentmindedly stood up and was almost shot to pieces (Dran pulled him back down).

Dran once, during ‘The Re-Take of Outpost 21’, was cornered by three Maylon sligs in an old office in the derelict factory. Dran killed all three suffering no wounds using his rifle at point-blank range, causing him to go deaf temporarily. This was the cause of his bad hearing and it continued to go downhill from there. You could say luckily, this was nearing the end of the war, so it didn’t really affect his performance.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): Numerous war crimes.
Numerous drinking offences.

PHYSIQUE: Dran may look old and frail but in his hay day he was a very fit, capable slig. Years of war-related abuse has driven his body to grow thin with age (thinner than normal), and his muscles have withered away. His face-tentacles look more prominent due to his thin body. He has scars all over his body from different war-related injuries, including the bullet wound on the right hand side of his lower back from the ‘lucky shot’ before ‘The Charge of Bunker D-14’.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): Senility (prone to memory loss, fits of rage, etc).

SUMMARISATION: A good slig, but not too good in physical combat due to his muscle loss and old age. Used to be above exceptional during the ‘D&M’ war, and seems to have lived his life to the full, bullet wounds and all. His body is now taking the severe toll.

DEMISE: Dran died in his sleep in bunker #049 and was discovered by the bunker’s inhabitants. He seems to have died peacefully, which he deserved no doubt.

-----

Farlin’s profile:

NAME: Farlin.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 15

OCCUPATION(S): Slig Barracks recruit for 4 years.
Slig Barracks corporal for 3 years.
Slig Barracks sergeant for 4 years.
Slig Barracks captain for remaining 4 years.

LIKES: War tactics, inspiring his platoon.

DISLIKES: ‘Dirty’ fighting, cowards.

FEARS: Glukkon power, his platoon being decimated.

BOSS: General Dripik.

CHARACTERISTICS: Very loyal to Slig Barracks with a courageous heart to match. Farlin never says ‘no’ to any order, no matter how much it affects his personal safety, but he isn’t filled with enough visions of grandeur to send his platoon into a suicide mission. He is also a bit sharper than most sligs.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Incredibly brave and at the same time selfless.

DREAMS: He dreamt of leading his platoon into the battle that would win the ‘D&M’ war.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: 200 (But during the war: 100).

RANK: Captain.

PAST EXPERIENCES: One of his most noted feats of bravery was ‘The Charge of Bunker D-14’, where he reportedly stood tall in the firing line, and ordered to sound the charge for his platoon to take the fight to the Maylon sligs trench. It would have made quite a picture.

Farlin once had a full on argument with another slig captain called Cossle (the same one Nox killed in the office) in front of his platoon. They had had a disagreement over war tactics in the officers tent when both of their platoons met and set up camp. Cossle came very close to assaulting Farlin (whether he would have won is a different story), but Farlin had a little more class, and stood up to him, not being bullied into submission. Cossle could do nothing but fume and swear. Farlin reportedly laughed in his face and sat with his platoon by the campfire.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): No crimes have been reported or rumoured of being committed by Farlin. Rare for a slig.

PHYSIQUE: Farlin isn’t muscle-bound and doesn’t have skin thicker than a scrabs. Most of the time he uses his wits to get him out of a tight spot, that and the inspiration he has on his platoon to back him up. Wiry is probably the best way to describe his physique, meaning he is slender, but still quite strong.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): None.

SUMMARISATION: If you asked anyone about captain Farlin, they would most likely tell you a tale of his bravery, loyalty or selflessness, if they had heard of him. This summarises his character best.

DEMISE: Farlin was killed 2 years into the ‘D&M’ war by a mortar round that happened to land in a ditch he was knelt in where he was radioing for help as his platoon fought fiercely on the battlefield, severely outnumbered. The mortar killed him instantly, destroying the radio also, and his platoon lost the battle, being forced to retreat suffering overwhelming casualties. Farlin’s body was never found by Slig Barracks forces (if there was anything to find), and it was rumoured that Maylon sligs hung him to a post on the very battlefield he had died on as an example, but this was a rumour that was born in the times of the ‘D&M’ war, so can most probably be dismissed as lies to conceive warmongering and hatred towards Maylon forces.

-----

Frally’s profile:

NAME: Frally.

RACE: Mudokon.

CURRENT AGE: 31

OCCUPATION(S): Splinterz labourer all his life.
(Served one week of a 5 year sentence).

LIKES: Hand sawing wood, being out in the fresh air.

DISLIKES: Splinters, and Splinterz, drinking.

FEARS: Harm coming to Lage.

BOSS: Currently captain Rolin and Sronti.

CHARACTERISTICS: Frally was a decent mudokon. Decent meaning he was fair, helpful and friendly, but is capable of defending himself. He was generally hardworking.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): He was quite ‘jolly’ in nature and loves to play games.

DREAMS: He had a dream of escaping from Splinterz and use the woodwork skills he had gained there to build a small, wooden shack in the closest wooded area he can find for him to live in.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: None.

RANK: Inmate.

PAST EXPERIENCES: Frally was framed at Splinterz for actually escaping by a not-too-bright slig. Frally told the guards that it was ridiculous he would return to Splinterz after he had already escaped, but they were too busy struggling to get him onto the train destined for Sronti’s. He did not find out who it was that escaped and caused him to be sent to jail.

Frally first found Lage in Sronti’s prison on his first night. He found the child in an empty cell next door to his own. Thinking on his feet he immediately took the kid to his cell and then smuggled it out of there into the laundry room by bribing the laundry mudokon, saying he had a ‘special package’. He did not show the mud what it was, but moved it to the laundry room in the sheet trolley. Luckily his cell was on the ground floor. He found a hatch next to one of the vats, for what use he did not know, for the mudokon to hide in. It was quite cramped but it was all he could find. He gave the child some inmate clothing that was in the process of being cleaned, ripping the arms and legs to help fit it. He is the one who named Lage.

He was only looking after Lage for a week when he was murdered in Sronti’s prison by Rolin, captain of the guards. A mudokon threatened Frally with the apparent knowledge of his ‘special package’. It was the same mud that Frally bribed who handed out the laundry from the trolley. If Frally had thought it through and realised that the mudokon did not know about Lage, he may not have been killed, but instead he jumped in at the deep end and attacked the mudokon, obviously attempting to protect the child. This may have been a blessing in disguise, because if Nox hadn’t of found the mud he would have gone ahead with the attempted escape and possibly ended up dead, along with Rowl, Glon and Billy. Maybe fate made Frally react the way he did in order to save 4 lives in return for 1 death, rather than the other way around. See Demise below.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): 2 fighting offences.
2 escape attempts.

PHYSIQUE: Frally was quite tough, seeing as he has worked at Splinterz all his life, lugging around logs, planks and sawing wood. His hands prove this by having many calluses and saw scars. He has a thumb missing on his right hand having sawn it off accidentally with a circular saw. He almost bled to death from such a simple wound, due to the ignorance and cruelty of the slig guards there at the time.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): None.

SUMMARISATION: Frally was a good, hardworking person. He would always be more than willing to help you and up for a game of cards, as long as it was after hours. He was in no way bitter, even though he was in a very bad place when he died. No matter what life threw at Frally, he just laughed.

DEMISE: Frally was involved in a fight with another mudokon (who handed out the laundry from the trolley in Sronti’s prison) over a dispute concerning Lage. He seemed to be beating his opponent when the mudokon stabbed Frally in the stomach with a homemade shiv. Frally reeled in pain and was more a less incapacitated by it until Rolin arrived with CO’s and performed a ‘mercy’ killing. It has been confirmed that what he did is classed as murder, but it is not being pursued thanks to Sronti.

AlexFili 05-20-2009 01:58 AM

Wow, I had no idea each biographies would be that long. That's some real dedication to characters that you have :D

STM 05-20-2009 10:58 AM

I repped ya AlexFili! Thx MA i loved the last chapters some excellent work, I can't wait for our next piece together (yeh thats right people there's more) I hope I aint spilled too much there!

PS: MA can we put out our 1st chapters in two weeks (on Monday) since i'm at spain with a m8 for a week? ta

MA 05-20-2009 03:02 PM

yeah we can do that Scrabtrapman, i actually need to get cracking on that story, i've only done the chapters i've PM'd you.

just PM me to remind me, i've got a memory like a seive.

AlexFili 05-20-2009 03:08 PM

Just out of curiosity, how many biographies can we expect? :D What's the total look like?
BTW, since prisons sometimes have soccer teams, we could do a Sronti guards vs Keeya guards :D

MA 05-20-2009 03:14 PM

there's 10 more, i made a profile for every single significant character in the story.

dont feel obliged to read them, just read the ones that interest you. personally i find it fascinating to look at a character's profile from a story i have read, so i can say 'oh, i remember that' or 'so thats what happened'. :)

STM 05-21-2009 07:46 AM

ok kl im almost 1/2 way through now

AlexFili 05-21-2009 09:14 AM

I've read every single one. It's great to learn about all these little bits of info and try and piece the story together.

I was wondering, maybe Dripik sent Maylon a 'peace bird' (like a dove) and it was dead by the time it got to Maylon? Maybe that could have sparked the war? :D

thats actually a very good idea. i think i'm gonna do a sort of detailed timeline for the 'D&M' war in the future, seeing as i'm a bit exhausted after writing this to make part 2 (prequel to Glory Slig) and describe the 'D&M' war as a story.

after i've posted these profiles i'll give it a rest for a while and see if i'm up to it. i have a feeling i'll do a detailed timeline though, like records. who knows.

AlexFili 05-21-2009 10:55 AM

Well, some of the things you've written so far in the biographies can be literally copied and pasted straight into the prequel. Like the nasty Slig's heroic war story.

STM 05-30-2009 06:32 AM

Hey just to let everyone know I have opened our next post MA just to let you no put your name at the top of your chapter so they no what chapter is for which story

MA 07-09-2009 12:01 PM

WHOA its been a long time. sorry about that, had a bit of a break from FC. anyway, here is 4 more profiles i have written. i would post the rest of them but i haven't finished them yet (surprise surprise).

Glon’s profile:

NAME: Glon.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 18

OCCUPATION(S): Stationmaster at a FeeCo depot station 6 years.
Rupture Farms stockyards security guard 7 years.
Served 5 year sentence in prison.
Back at Rupture Farms stockyards.

LIKES: Keeping Billy close for protection, drinking hard liquor, watching fights.

DISLIKES: Attention, Rowls sarcastic comments.

FEARS: Being spied on and having heart attack.

BOSS: Currently Molluck.

CHARACTERISTICS: Very cautious with a paranoid act to match. Glon is wiser than most sligs due to his age, and knows a few tricks of the trade after working as a station master for 6 years. He will do anything to avoid any direct attention, but when backed into a corner he will react to defend himself.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Very friendly and knowledgeable, but not one for the spotlight.

DREAMS: Glon just dreams of returning to his old job at Rupture Farms stockyards, seeing as it is quite secluded. He eventually achieved this dream when he was released from prison.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: After returning to his old job, 50.

RANK: Security.

PAST EXPERIENCES: Glon attempted to murder his superior officer whilst working at Rupture Farms stockyards with an iron bar. He was ordered to take night duty for the third time in a row, and due to his paranoia, thought he was targeting him and being unfair. If he was or not remains unknown. Glon picked up a short, iron bar from the table in the bunker out in the stockyards and beat the superior officer (corporal) to a bloody mess that was barely conscience. No witnesses were around, so Glon then left the corporal (alive) and turned himself in at Rupture Farms, where he was arrested and put on trial, found guilty. He was then transported to Sronti’s prison. Glon is not usually a violent person, but his paranoia may have altered his reaction to the situation temporarily.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): 1 count of attempted murder.
Numerous fighting offences.
Numerous counts of sligslaughter and mudslaughter.
Numerous drinking offences.

PHYSIQUE: Glon still has his strength, but because of his age its only a matter of time before that begins to deteriorate. Glon’s paranoia about his heart may not have been in vain, because he actually does have a weak heart. It has not been discovered yet, but Glon is sure of it. This is most probably a coincidence.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): Severe paranoia.

SUMMARISATION: Glon is a friendly sort who will crack a joke when your down and have you rolling around on the floor in laughter when your not so down. He is willing to give advice but is slightly reluctant as he doesn’t want to be seen as the ‘advice-giver’. Now that he has served his sentence and is back at his old job, it is unlikely he will live for much longer, but he has some tales to tell, many about Sronti’s prison including the riot with Nox.

DEMISE: He is still alive.

Nox’s profile:

NAME: Nox.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 10

OCCUPATION(S): Slig Barracks recruit and war veteran.

LIKES: Compassion, his rifle, alcohol.

DISLIKES: Cruelty, racism, the voices in his head.

FEARS: Flashbacks, harming friends.

BOSS: General Dripik.

CHARACTERISTICS: Nox was quite a deep character, and had a tangled mind. He was prone to flashbacks and violent outbursts, but was very brave and competent, especially during combat. All this aside, he was actually very kind and compassionate, unlike most sligs.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Brave and competent, but troubled.

DREAMS: He dreamt of having the voices in his head removed, and leading a normal life.

Once he met Lage, he dreamt of escaping from Slig Barracks with Lage and living with mudokon natives in Necrum. This would probably be impossible (to live in peace with natives).

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: 50

RANK: War veteran.

PAST EXPERIENCES: During the ‘D&M’ war, the platoon Nox was in met another ally platoon, and they both were ordered over the radio to follow the orders of a drill sergeant slig stationed at the post. The sergeant ordered the other platoon to march across the minefield before them and kill the Maylon sligs on the other side. Nox stepped forward and called the drill sergeant an ‘ignorant twat’, and told the platoon to stay where they were. The sergeant hit Nox around the head with the butt of his revolver and almost concussed him, knocking Nox into the mud. The sergeant ordered the platoon over the minefield anyway.

During an operation called ‘The re-take of outpost 21’ in a derelict factory, during the ‘D&M’ war, Nox was being bullied by his thoughts, making him very nervous. Maylon forces were expected to be in the area, and Nox was even more nervous than the other sligs due to the voices in his head goading him. He turned a corner in a corridor and was taken by surprise by a mudokon child. He shot it and the noise triggered the Maylon sligs ambush. Nox’s platoon and the Maylon platoon were fighting each other fiercely, but Nox cradled the dying mudokon child until it died. Then, feeling the anger, he joined the fire fight.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): Countless fighting offences.
Numerous counts of sligslaughter.
Numerous war crimes.
Countless drinking offences.

PHYSIQUE: A burly slig, stronger than the average slig due to his experiences in the ‘D&M’ war. Has a scar in the palm of his hand from when he glassed a slig in the ‘The Rotten Barrel’ pub. Also has a scar on the middle knuckle of his right hand from when he punched a slig in the visor during a riot in Sronti’s prison.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): Schizophrenia (causes voices).
Post traumatic stress (causes flashbacks).
Possible depression.

SUMMARISATION: Nox was quite a strong character who was opposed to prejudice and slavery. He was very capable during a fight, and hosted more knowledge and know-how than most sligs, which is natural for veterans of the ‘D&M’ war. But he harboured many dark secrets, and was constantly goaded and bullied by voices in his head. He was also very selfless.

DEMISE: Nox was shot from behind by Loke who was armed with a standard issue rifle. The rifle round passed right through Nox, entering the ribcage and leaving the body through his back, almost tearing through his spine. He didn’t feel pain due to his high adrenaline levels, and lost his sight (a typical slig trait when dying), before passing away (blood loss). His dying wish was for his friends to ‘take care of the kid’ (meaning Lage).

Rolin’s profile:

NAME: Rolin.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 13

OCCUPATION(S): Slig Barracks recruit for his first 4 years.
Slig Barracks sergeant for 2 years.
Captain of the guards at Sronti’s prison for the rest of his life.

LIKES: Respect, hard workers, giving orders.

DISLIKES: Wimps, mudokons, CO’s disobeying orders.

FEARS: Sronti, being sent to prison himself.

BOSS: Sronti.

CHARACTERISTICS: A tough character, both physically and mentally. His zero tolerance attitude and stern demeanour both inspire other CO’s whilst at the same time scare inmates.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Stern, and not too subtle.

DREAMS: He had dreams of being one of the captains of Slig Barracks, but it looks like he’s got the next best thing.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: 80

RANK: Captain of the guards.

PAST EXPERIENCES: He was always a quick learner, and for the first 4 years of his life at Slig Barracks he stood out from the other sligs. That is the reason why he was promoted to sergeant.

He was working at Sronti’s prison as captain of the guards when the ‘D&M’ war broke out, so never saw any action. If he had, its likely he would have proved himself quite capable and would probably be a lieutenant by now, if he survived.

3 years into his career at Sronti’s prison, during a riot, he led the CO’s into the fray in the hall using only their batons as weapons. Rolin drifted away from the rest of the CO’s and was cornered by 5 mudokon inmates. They beat him badly with their fists, and Rolin was found lying on the floor after the riot had been stopped by CO’s, battered to within an inch of his life. Rolin recovered, obviously, but this is quite possibly the reason why he hates mudokons.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): Even though he is technically ‘the law’, outsiders would argue he has still committed a few offences:
Numerous murders.
3 counts of sligslaughter.

PHYSIQUE: A normal sized slig with scars on his hands and knuckles from all the riots he and the other CO’s have had to stop using their fighting skills and truncheons.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): None.

SUMMARISATION: Firm but fair. Someone who is always willing to give out punishment and isn’t too subtle. He may not be too opposing in appearance, but you still wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. He knows the meaning of hard work, and when he isn’t inspecting the prison, he’s overseeing the chain gang’s mining.

DEMISE: He is still alive.

Wrask’s profile:

NAME: Wrask.

RACE: Slig.

CURRENT AGE: 8

OCCUPATION(S): Slig Barracks recruit and war veteran.

LIKES: Smoking, relaxing at ‘The Rotten Barrel’ pub.

DISLIKES: Exaggerators, having his working routine interrupted.

FEARS: A smoking ban, losing contact with his war veteran friends.

BOSS: General Dripik.

CHARACTERISTICS: Wrask usually uses brawn before brains, and has an extremely raspy voice, possibly due to his heavy smoking routine. He sticks up for his friends and seems to always know what’s going on in Mudos, keeping a close eye on ‘The Daily Deception’ and M.O.M. News.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC(S): Chain smoker, a slig that ‘knows things’.

DREAMS: Wrask leads a simple life, since the war anyway, and has the same dream every day; to get to ‘The Rotten Barrel’ pub and relax.

MOOLAH EARNED PER WEEK: 50

RANK: War veteran.

PAST EXPERIENCES: Wrask first started smoking during the war, to help ease the extreme pressure all sligs were being put under during that bloody time, and has smoked ever since, out of habit. It doesn’t seem to have helped that much seeing as he now suffers with post traumatic stress due to the war, but that’s not to rule out the possibility that it could have stopped more serious mental illnesses (like the schizophrenia Nox suffers with).

Wrask once had a fistfight with his superior officer (who was a nasty piece of work, many said) during the ‘D&M’ war, for moolah. Wrask beat him fair and square, and since then, Cossle (the superior officer) took a liking to Wrask, but was still begrudged with the rest of his platoon. Cossle, who was a captain, was the same captain Nox killed in the office.

CRIMES (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER): Numerous war crimes.
Numerous drinking offences.
Numerous fighting offences.

PHYSIQUE: Wrask is quite tough and is as strong as the average war veteran.

MENTAL HANDICAP (IF ANY): Post traumatic stress (causes flashbacks).

SUMMARISATION: Wrask is a knowledgeable slig that has served his due in the ‘D&M’ war and seems to have entered his own version of retirement by ‘playing it safe’ and sticking to what he is told to do. His reward at the end of each day is that first pint and 100th cigarette in ‘The Rotten Barrel’ pub. An honest slig with morals who doesn’t give any grief as long as he receives none in return.

DEMISE: He is still alive.

It's been a long time coming, but I can safely say, it was definately worth the wait. Better to take your time and make a masterpiece than to rush it and be ridiculed forever!
