I have a character in mind who'd be more than happy to rent the shuttle. It's nearly midnight where I am right now, though, so I'll probably head off to bed soon, but I'll be back with a CS tomorrow.

Name: Lincoln Bargara(May change last name in future)
Age: 45(looks younger)
Sex: Male
Role: First Mate/Tech
Gear: Not typically seen without his favorite brown tweed flat cap. Wears mostly casual clothes but owns at least one well kept old suit. Rarely armed but when needed he prefers a concealable sidearm to a large assault weapon. Also owns a number of finer tools and computer hardware he's salvaged from other ships. Oddly he keeps a small brown teddy bear on the shelf over his bunk.
Assets: While not a trained combatant Lincoln's shear size deters most from attempting to tackle the mountain of a man. Despite his lack of training he does know how to handle a gun and has been known to be an effective brawler. He is a skilled computer programmer and a quick thinker. Having working experiences with both the Alliance and Independents he has numerous contacts among the technology and information hubs of the 'verse.
Complications: Chronic allergies and mild asthma keep him from pushing himself too far, but limit his physical activity little at all. He's struggled in the past with depression(triggered by past trauma) but keeps it mostly in check. He was injured two years previously in a skirmish with an Alliance patrol and has a noticeable limp in his left leg.
Physical Description: 6'5" and 272 pounds Lincoln is a literal mountain of a man. He has a dark skin tone and medium brown eyes. His hair is typically kept neat but he's known for neglecting his physical appearance, despite having impeccable hygiene for living on a ship. Hulking but with a gentle face he wouldn't be someone you'd like to meet unexpectedly, though he's certainly someone you'd like to have around when trying to avoid a fight. His size is sometimes troubling when trying to get around in the more narrow passages of the ship.
Personality: Rather upbeat and constantly trying to look on the brighter side, Lincoln has a tendency to become anxious or depressed while under stress, though he's very good at keeping this to himself. He has a strong sense of loyalty to his ship and Captain. Usually slow to anger, he also doesn't take threats to the ship and his fellow crew lightly. He also values honesty, if he gives his word you can bet he'll go to great lengths to keep it.
Background: Raised in a city on one of the more developed Border Planets, he showed an aptitude for computers at a young age. Graduating school with a Degree in Advanced Programing and Technology Lincoln was recruited by a large information firm on Osiris. He worked his way from one mindless, unfulfilling position to the next until leaving to find more interesting work. Shortly after he began a career as a electronics and software technician for a company servicing an Alliance installation on Boros. When the Alliance began to push outwards more forcefully he decided he'd rather not be associated with them and quit again to seek more neutral employ.
More recently he's taken numerous jobs on freighters, passenger liners and salvage crews, where he met and befriended Nathan Rey, having issues with their employer they both jumped ship in the same port and decided to look for work together. They continued moving from job to job until Nathan saved enough to buy his own ship, offering Lincoln the position of First Mate because of his loyalty and and keen mind as well as his talent for breaking up arguments.
There you go. That's Lincoln. By the way, Bargara is the street in Bundaberg, Queensland where they make my favorite beverage... just using it as a place holder until I figure out a better name.

I talked to you about it, so definatly ACCEPTED.
I must admit, I never expected to get so many people looking for a place in this here Shindig. I also got to admit that I never thought I'd get this many brilliant CS!

Whoa there! This is lookin' to be shapin' to be a pretty fine crew :)
whats more- an interesting crew! Kendo swords and teddy bears!? Brilliant!
I've gotta agree with Nathan:
Bucket and Lincoln- nice CS's
Bucket and Nathan- What kinda dynamic have you two got and how'd ya meet? I mean, its all well and good to have a wacky pilot, but does it often test the Cap's patience? (and sense of self-preservation? :P)
How'd he even land the job?
Also, to everyone- about the remaining crew:
The people we've got sound great, but we do need a few ladyfolk onboard, not to mention a loveable resident macho fool :)
What do the other current crew (and Captain) think?
cheerio-
Dale

Nice to know someone be thinking the same.
I've pm'd Bucket and should work something out in respects to his character.
Sadly, I can't fix the second one. Let's just hope we look mighty attractive to the lady folk.

Ok, I just wrote it in Word. And, I may have gone on for longer than I should've....
it's just over a page.
Anyway, since it's so long, shall I post it here, or PM it to you, or what? Or would everyone like to read my crazy typing frenzy?
