Name: TS-1937/Taizen Neft "Poet"
Loyalties: Nick Sept, the Clone Squad
Role: Nick's closest friend.
Development Threads:
Age: 17, but looks a bit older. Clone aging's a cruel mistress.
Species: Cloned human.
Appearance: After beign burned alive by [member="Warok the Defiler"], Poet's lost his hair and has suffered major burns across his face and body. Like msot of the squaddies, he tends towrds black, albeit primarily formal-wear.
Personality: Desptie beign a trained soldier, Poet is well-read, somewhat foppish, and more than bit dry in his wit. When he's not working, he usually has his nose in a book or a tablet, and is reading or studyign some new thing. He's not shy so much as he just rarely finds people who will actually listen to him. Despite his rather brutalized apperance, he's typically affable and polite to a fault--except for that time he stripped in front of the queen of Alderaan.
Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
Weapon of Choice: A steady carbine rifle with an udnerslung grenade launcher for room-clearing, if he can help it.
Skills: Poet was trained heavily in urban combat and counter-intelligence, with an emphasis on flusig out insurgent opponents.
Wealth: Of the squaddies, he's the wealthiest, as he has a knack form managing finicky details, and inherited a sizeable estate from Sept.
Combat Function: In an urban environment, Poet is a darn good improvisor with a decent amount of knowledge in urban warfare and demolitions. Give hi ma city and an enemy, and he'll find a way to make them work agaisnt each other. He's not great with force users, though.
Notable Possessions: Poet always seems to have a suitcase or duffle bag with some weaposn handy. And remote detonators. Dude loves blowing things up.
History: Originally found as a slave, Pooet was the first clone from the same project as himself that he found in his travels. Afer rescuing him from slavery with extreme prejudice, Nick and poet became fast friends, developing a routine where Nick's rude back-woods uncouthness would play against Poet as a droll straight man. They eventually worked togetehr to help develop the teaching staff at the Cartao cloning facility with the other squaddies, Tigress and Laughingstock.

Name: YR-1750/Yuri Briva "Laughingstock"
Loyalties: The Clone Squad
Role: The smart one of the Clone Squad
Development Threads: N/A
Age: 14, looks twenty because cloning
Species: Cloned human.
Appearance: If Poet's wardrobe can be described as formal, then Yuri's fashion can best be described as "aggressive." Despite her short, wiry appearance, the laughingstock usually has large, baggy clothes designed specifically to hide weapons, car-keys, smokes, and the occasional beer in. Standing a head shorter than the other squaddies, she used to get a lot of short jokes before she decided to start joking back. With a pike.
Personality: Laughingstock lives up to her nickname, happily making fun of herself or anyone else with a smile and a nod. She is cheesy, a little flirtatious, and hilarious.
Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
Weapon of Choice: As a more melee oriented individual, she prefers vibropikes and electrostaffs. Long weapons allow her to do well on "mounted" attacks from large vehicles. In ranged combat, she prefers a standard repeating balster rifle for simplicity's sake.
Skills: Tanks, swoop bikes, hovercars, and jsut about anythign else that goes on the ground, she can drive, and probably steal.
Wealth: Not as wealthy as poet. She makes a decent living, some of it through theft, but she tends to spend money quickly on new parts and toys.
Combat Function: Jousting from a hoverbike, riding a take with sword extended, and other kidns of high-spped, hit and run maneuvers are Yuri's bread and butter. She beleive that all combat shoudl be done fast, cheerful, and from higher ground.
Notable Possessions: She has a cheery red swoop-bike with a custom engine and a lot of spikes.
History: Working a pod-racer in an underground Hutt-controlled league, Nick found her deep in debt to a gangster by the name of Zeppo the Hutt. After a complicated scheme wehre Poet posed as a slave trader and bet the life of a woman who didn't exist on a rigged race, Yuri was rescued from hwer slavery--and press-ganged into a strange miltary lifestyle by Nick and Poet. While she still thinks liek a criminal at times, she is still a well-disciplined and cunning soldier in her own right.

Name: TG-2903 "The Tigress"
Loyalties: Clone Squad
Role: Pilot, thief, and trouble-maker.
Development Threads:
Age: 15, looks older because cloning
Species: Human clone, although some have accused her of being Arkanian.
Appearance: Tigress' msot noteworthy features are her apparrently naturally silver hair, and her substantially less natural artificial eyes. She is the least fashionable of the squad, preferring simple, dull blacks and greys with minimal embellishment, as too many extra features cause you trouble on a space ship.
Personality: Tigress is a bit crazy. Although the majority of her trainign was geared towards flight and airborne insertions, she is a known thrillseeaker and frequently changes her dutyies in the squad to kepp from gettign too bored. She is highly intelligent and capable, but something of a reckless, devil-may-care type, frequetnly biting off more than she can chew.
Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
Weapon of Choice: She likes a trusty shotgun. Nothing says "boarding party from hell" quite like a good flechette spread.
Skills: She's a good pilot, a decent gunner, a capable hand-to-hand fighter, and a lousy tactician.
Wealth: She's usually pretty wealthy, bu slavage is a real boom and bust business.
Combat Function: If she's not blowing you away from the cockpit, odds are there are shotguns. Or she's flying in to drop some other troops on your backside. Have fun with that.
Notable Possessions: At any given time she has ast least one transport ship and one fighter, usually with some form of IFF spoofing gear.
History: The most recent addition to the squad, Tigress was found attemtping to steal Nick's ship a few years back. Unable to avoid embracing the hilarity of it, she was convinced to join up with the Squaddies. Unlike the other squaddies, she never gave herself a "new" name, feelign les resentment for the numerical codes. However, she typically still answer to Tigress. Lady Tigress if you're trying to flatter her.
Intent: The intent of all three of these is to give Nick Sept's surrogates from earlier posts actual names and faces. Also, I might use them for development of other projects if I have the time and energy to write out. We'll see.
