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.
