Shiloh's Characters - Printable Version

**********Johnny's Office

Johnny's Office is an Office of multiple ex-Police agents from all over Sirius. They dabble into any job that fits their skills. They are considered a non-governemental intelligence agency, which provides intelligence, counter-intelligence, surveillance, tracking, and more for anyone. They remain open to any possible contract, and will gladly operate at the very edge of the law for it.

Their motto is "We don't ask questions". New to the Sirius scene as a fully-fledged Office, but not new to the intelligence world, Johnny's Office hopes to shake Sirius out of its status quo, and by making that, creating demand for intelligence on one another, and ultimately creating a feedback loop for the Office.

Known Agents

Johnny

The founder of its namesake Office. Not a lot is known from his past except that he was part of the Liberty Police Inc. Currently still in the Omicrons, the last communication between Johnny and the Swift Silence dates from a few days, whereas he is currently staying at an Order base, in hopes of breaking a deal with them.

>WIKI PAGE<

Emily

The "right hand" of Johnny, and one of the two representatives of the Office. She mainly manages the Office's contracts, and specializes in finding potential partners, and striking deals with them, leaving the management of the contract to Karl most of the time. She is aloof, and very oftenly, gets misunderstood by her comrades despite her best attempts.

Karl

The "left hand" of Johnny, as referred to jokingly, Karl is the second representative of the Office. He manages the contracts after they have been signed. Supposedly an ex-LSF agent. His carefree attitude has been detected as a façade by the more experienced agents. Rumors on the Swift Silence about Karl goes from being a simple janitor, to being one of Orillion's original security detail before his desertion. He usually says - to both, that he cannot confirm nor deny.

Ezra

The co-founder of Johnny's Office. Not much is known except that she is the "friend" Johnny knows and hosts the company under a false name in Liberty. She says that she is the "manager" of the Office, and steps up only if there is a crisis complex enough, in hopes to either make a deal, or find a solution to brace through.

Frigate AIs

Swift Silence AI: An AI capable of speech, and calculations beyond a "standard" AI's capabilities. It was recovered during [REDACTED] at [REDACTED]. It is currently the on-board AI of the Swift Silence. It is capable of flight, and is rated level 19 in flight and combat on the [REDACTED] scale.

[REDACTED] AI: The [REDACTED]'s AI is an improved version of the Swift Silence AI. It is [DATA REDACTED].

The Office

The Office is a lawful company; more specifically and officially, a Libertonian LLC registered at a P.O. Box, held by a friend of Johnny on Manhattan, NY. The Office itself is actually the flagship of Johnny's Office, the Swift Silence; a heavily-modified Frigate. Johnny's Office plans however, thanks to the wealth accumulated from contracts, to purchase a larger ship, not only for pragmatic reasons but also for publicity and reliability. His plans however to change of flagship for a larger one implies a capital-class ship. A Liberty Rogue vessel might be the best possible purchase, as they as relatively easy to maintain, even without a shipyard. For now, two large Frigates, both capable of autonomous flight, are the headquarters of the Office. The Swift Silence, currently being hidden at an undisclosed place, and the other Frigate, [EXPUNGED].

Objectives

Johnny's Office is in short a knowledge broker and a status quo breaker. By contracting with other factions, or individuals, Johnny's Office can sell information for cash, or for information.

Relations

Johnny's Office is not hostile nor allied to any particular group. However, competition might be a factor with mercenary groups or simply other Freelancers. Currently, the Johnny's Office is in relatively hostile terms with the Crown, but hopes to clarify it once the bounty on the Office's employees will be over.

MV Acheron

**********MV Acheron

The MV Acheron, MV for Merchant Vessel, is akin to Ancient Earth's ghost ships stories. The MV Acheron was lost years ago in Kepler, and only recently reemerged, as a Scorpion-class gunboat. Only a handful of people remember the Tragedy of the MV Acheron, but are not prepared for the tragedies it will create on its path.

It is distinguishable from other gunboats, as the human flesh inside are actually the amalgamated remnants of the survivors. They can influence the ship in various ways, the most notable one, presumably by the spirit of the pilot, or by the computer, of resuming its original flight route. It is also very distinguishable by its emission on radiowaves: what are most likely, bits of the last conversations before the tragedy. It is theorized that all humans amalgamated can feel pain, and are still conscious. It is also theorized that they are reliving the same day every day, ever since the tragedy occured.

MV Acheron, since its discovery, remains a particular target of the Order, as it vanishes as quickly as it appears. Calculations shows that MV Acheron engaged only 22.3% of the time it was within 10K of any human target. The Order, continues to investigates, and a detail of the Battlecruiser Atum in the adjacent system, is dedicated to the research on the MV Acheron, the principal question surrounding the apparent capacity of the MV Acheron of using both trade lanes and jump gates with outdated and seemingly corrupted keys.

In a rare fashion, the Order released public information concerning the MV Acheron, posing as the "Kepler Office of Information", with classified data accessible only to Order and neighboring allied agents, but the transmission has been, and continues to be corrupted. Thankfully most of the information is clear.

Characters

Esther Cardin

Lt. Esther Cardin, formerly part of the Gallic Navy, and veteran of the two Gallic Wars. Esther Cardin is a Royalist Lieutenant, as she kept her rank in the ragtag army that makes up the Royalist Remnants. She still strongly believe in the Gallic Monarchy, and fully believe the existence of a descendant of the King, being alive and well.
She is a specialist in conducting hybrid warfare, and is generally seen in the Taus. She mainly uses bombers to attack civilian and military targets alike. Her main goal is to fund and supply the hidden capital ships where she is posted.
She is an iron-willed woman, who unrelentingly believes in the Monarchy. However, her unrelenting nature makes her stubborn, and proves to be at times detrimental, as she was denied multiple times promotions during her time in the Gallic Navy, and even now with the Royalists.

Klaus Landsteiner

Major Klaus Landsteiner, is a Wild Pawn from Rheinland. He was infected seven years ago during a black operation by the Rheinland Military in the Omicrons. This Operation, was a hit-and-run operation against a planned Corsair convoy meant to resupply a strike group stuck in Rheinland. Major Klaus Landsteiner was in charge of the squadron, a force of about 10 bombers strong. However, when they arrived in Omicron Gamma, they were attacked by a massive group of Nomads. All tens bombers were destroyed, however, Klaus Landsteiner was the only remaining survivor.
After being infected, he was sent to Heaven's Gate, and was experimented on to see if it would be possible to extend the host's lifespan after being infected. After months of experimentation, he was put into his bomber again, and is currently dedicated on realizing surgical strikes in Rheinland and the Taus.
