20. Wolfgang Lohr    6797A5   ex-Other       Age 26      2 Terms

Skills: Gambling-1, Brawling-1.

Benefits: Cr50,000, High Psge.

 

    Wolfgang tried to hire on with a merchant crew, but was rejected. Instead he ended up taking a job at a startown casino, where he gradually picked up an understanding of various games of "chance" (Gambling-1). Wanting to take advantage of his knowledge, he decided to put it to the test and discovered that he could make a living out of it, although he was at times forced to defend himself from disgruntled losers, who accused him of cheating and wanted their money back (Brawling-1).

    In fact his last game ended in such a situation. His accuser actually shot him, but Wolfgang still got away with his winnings, including a high passage ticket (Mustering out: Cr50,000 and High Psge). 

    Currently Wolfgang is sitting calmly at the starport, looking for an opportunity to use the high passage to complete his escape. His wound doesn't seem to be troubling him much, there is very little blood, and none of it is easily visible.

Referee: Wolfgang failed his survival roll, but I thought of doing a "Deadman" with him instead of killing him off straight away. Yes, he has been shot, but he was shot with an experimental weapon, which fired a small dart containing nano-bots. Programmed to slowly break down the tissue around the wound and eventually kill the target. 

    What else these nanobots are programmed to do and how they do it is up to the referee. But the character should be played along the lines of the title character in Deadman.
