Your life seems to be a story of endless misfortune. You arrived on this world as a refugee, an orphan of parents both of which were casualties of war. You were shortly after cast out by the very system that brought you in. You were then forced to steal and fight to survive as a lowly street urchin. Your fighting and shooting skills have developed to a rather impressive level as a byproduct of this life, though you also managed to lose an eye as well as any innocence or dignity you had left. Eventually you were noticed by a powerful organized crime syndicate who brought you in seemingly acting as your savior from a life of misery.
Now you find yourself yet again an apparent victim of misfortune. You have been involved in small time drug running and petty crimes for years, trying to make a name for yourself. No matter how hard you try, or how much you earn, none of your superiors in the syndicate seem to take notice. Maybe this is related to your "outsider" status, having been born off-world or maybe it is because you are simply too capable to be viewed as anything other than a threat to your bosses. You are treated as expedible and without respect which is sure to get you killed or rotting in jail before much longer. Regardless, you have had enough and are ready to make moves that will make or break you once and for all.
You have decided to start your own drug manufacturing empire with three of your closest henchmen. You will need to go somewhere remote, far away from anyone associated with your current syndicate to give you time to get established. Your crew is sure to be tracked and hunted, but hopefully by that time you will be capable of defending yourselves. Your goal is to become so rich and powerful that even the empire notices you in the hopes that maybe you can escape this miserable planet entirely for a life of luxury and purpose.
You are willing to do whatever it takes to reach the top. You will take any risk, kill anyone that stands in your way. You are even willing to make a devil’s bargain if only given the chance...
Summary:
Establish a base of operations for your drug manufacturing colony deep in the tropical rainforest. Additionally, prepare a strong defense to protect your colony and its earnings from the retaliation of your previous syndicate as well as other enemies looking to steal from you. The more powerful you become the more powerful the threat you are sure to face. Ultimately become rich enough via the drug trade that the stellarch comes to visit you and asks you and your crew to join him and escape the planet together.
Description:
Your plan is to establish a colony in a fertile yet dangerous caldera in the rainforest. You will trade drugs with friendly factions, including the empire, to grow your strength and influence while amassing as much wealth as you are able.
Your crew values physical strength and determination of will above all else. If another member that joins is superior in physical combat at any point in time than you, a battle to the death must occur to see who emerges the victor and new leader. Death and violence are part of life and have no effect on the mental state of members in your group.
Your crew also places great importance on technology and luxury as most members have never had access to these things and also because they are one of the best ways to get noticed by the empire. Members are expected to wear items such as formal clothing, jewelry, and other items that improve social impact. Bionic or even archotech body modifications are seen as improvements and are especially valued among higher ranking members. Your colony is destined to become a representation of extreme luxury and advanced technology as your wealth and influence increase.
Finally, drugs are a part of life for your clan. This includes not only selling them to amass wealth but also using them frequently. Members that refuse to use drugs are not trusted and are eventually banished or executed.
