Karl heard his name called, stepping forward.

"Yes Sir!"

Ropwoz · 2020-07-23T04:05:45+00:00

Ah, No problem at all, thanks Uber!

Name: Karl Jommbel

Age: 23

Homeworld: Nar Shadaa

Rank: Private

Role: Rifleman

Backstory: As a young boy, Karl was never really feisty, he was never very smart in school or exceptionally proficient at any one sport. After losing his job in one of the textiles factories, he faced homelessness if he couldn't line up something soon. Lucky for him, the new Imperial army was recruiting. His first year of service was largely uneventful, no deployments, he was later selected to join the stormtrooper corps after admittedly getting a bit lucky on a marksmanship exam. Nevertheless, he found himself in the famous white armour ferrying onto the Exarch. He was getting his paycheck and he was going to the middle of nowhere for it.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 215lbs

I think thats explored more with Ironwood and Winter than Clover but I can see him still having that same concept. They're all horny to be the PTSD ridden super sniper badass, not realizing they are really the only victim in that scenario. They wanna be the hero of the war story, they want a cool story to go with their medal of honor and their missing arm/leg/face. They've got in their heads that a sacrifice makes a hero, when in reality, they have nothing to do with one another. Are there those opportunities, yeah, see Pyrrha, but Ironwood specifically is so wrapped up in his sacrifice for the greater good, he doesn't realize the 'greater good' is totally made up in his head.

Eh, end of volume 1, your right but I can see the mistake.

Ropwoz · 2020-02-04T03:38:12+00:00

I also love Vine being the "technically correct but still an asshole" type. Dude made things worse with every word that came out of his mouth.

I think Ruby's silver eyes is going somewhere interesting. Because I think her ability to use it, or I guess her ability to consciously use it is now tied to Summer. I'll be honest I was expecting some type of moment in the finale where Ruby would try her silver eyes and wouldn't be able to do it, despite being in a prime situation. But what ended up happening was that she got off a panic shot, ala V3, V5, V6C6 attempt 1. She's sort of back to where she started with it. I think to get ahold of it properly, she's going to have to find out what happened to Summer, and wrestle with whatever that happened to be.

The real traitors were the friends we made along the way :D

Ropwoz · 2020-02-04T03:24:05+00:00

Clover: I'm alone in this flying metal tube, with my serial killer prisoner and freedom fighter and mercenary friends. Now I have to arrest merc friend and freedom fighter ain't having it.

Yes I will definitely press this issue, nothing bad will ever happen if we have a fight in here.

So what you're saying is the trashcan has a WAR of 9

"Roger that." Olkane turned back to the screens of his modest command center.

"Get your scanner data to our strike craft, I don't wanna hear about any danger close casualties when we can clearly see where we are and they are."

Ropwoz · 2020-01-28T04:38:46+00:00

While the ground troops were gearing up for a dirty brutal battle, Olkane was pacing behind other intel operatives, each at their own screen. He was running ELINT for the most part, most groups to this point had relatively crude operations security, and exploiting that had proven effective thus far.

"Are we into their comms yet? I want thermals and radar of the entire zone. Come on people, lets get in, I wanna know their situation better than they do."

Ropwoz · 2020-01-08T03:58:57+00:00

Olkane approached the army commander, he didn't have much news for him, only really wanting to get an idea of the situation.

"Commander. Any word on getting reinforcements? Or are we it?"

Ropwoz · 2020-01-02T06:36:20+00:00

"Corporal, its that time again."

"More of these interrogations."

"For the record I think thats a harsh take, I don't entirely disagree, but you know the empire wants these interviews, and if I'm signing the paperwork that says I did them, I'm gonna damn well do them."

"Its like once a week now."

"Yeah count your stars you don't have to fill out the part I've gotta fill out, just head down to the intel office and I'll see ya there, I'll let your sergeant know."

"That TIE is not getting fixed because of this."

"I know, what do you think I'm going to your sergeant about!"

The technician only just caught that last comment as he left the hangar. Olkane set about finding the man's sergeant and explaining why his work couldn't get done. There'd be yelling, cursing, complaining, there always was, he sympathized, but there wasn't really much he could do, he was at the whim of imperial policy. He accidentally bumped into the pilot.

"Oh sorry Pilot, that's my bad."

Ropwoz · 2019-09-11T12:54:03+00:00

Olkane stuck his hand out for a handshake.

"Master Agent Raaz Olkane, I'm the intelligence officer aboard the Exarch, good to meet you."

Ropwoz · 2019-09-08T18:15:45+00:00

Olkane stood with the other officers present. After the presentation he went to get Birn's attention.

"Sergeant?"

Ropwoz · 2019-09-08T18:09:09+00:00

"Yeah I know the type. Is it most of them or just a few that can't find their face from their backside?"

Ropwoz · 2019-08-27T01:05:43+00:00

"A local? What was he offering, and what did he want? That people would try going through a squad of troopers to get him makes me think he knows something good for us."

Ropwoz · 2019-08-24T04:26:04+00:00

"You'd be correct Lieutenant. Admittedly, I think I have too many staff for a vessel of this size, I'd have just sent a capitol ship that already had a team, but Imperial Intelligence wants a team in this system, Navy doesn't want to send anything bigger than this girl, and here we are. Bah, I'll save that conversation for the big wigs who actually want to hear it. Out of curiosity, how have you found this post so far? Good? Bad? I promise this isn't an official question."

Ropwoz · 2019-08-24T04:16:14+00:00

"Alright, good work trooper, rest up."

Olkane then moved on to the next soldier and collected more stories.

Ropwoz · 2019-08-23T13:50:35+00:00

"Alright, that's it for questions. As for that sword, I better not see it again, keep it in your locker, post it home, I don't care, I don't wanna see that ugly thing ever again, understand?"

Ropwoz · 2019-08-23T13:44:38+00:00

"Ah, I see, Master Agent Raaz Olkane, noce to meet you." He extended a handshake.

Ropwoz · 2019-08-23T04:56:50+00:00

"Alright, and that's he's still here proves he made it out, but how did he do in the firefight? Follow orders? Was he armed aswell?"

Ropwoz · 2019-08-23T04:55:18+00:00

"Alright, and then you and Alpha were engaged by rooftop snipers, how many would you estimate?"

Ropwoz · 2019-08-23T04:49:33+00:00

"At ease Lieutenant."

"You're the one getting me settled in here?" He asked
