Un groupe de dix pirates est sorti de l'ascenseur qui a conduit au couloir de contrôle moteur et de survie. Jusqu'à présent, leurs progrès s'étaient déroulés sans entrave et l'essoufflement du vaisseau Starfire s'ensuivrait sans accrochage. Comme ils ont tourné le coin, une seule figure a bloqué le chemin du pirate. John se pencha contre le mur, tournant son arme à la fin de son index. Notant les dix maraudeurs dans sa vision périphérique, il a saisi la poignée de son pistolet et, en un mouvement rapide, a chargé un clip complet dans l'arme tout en saisissant son deuxième pistolet, encore holstered, et a tiré sur les deux intrus. Plusieurs,45 rounds ACP ont déchiré à travers les corps peu à totalement non protégés des pirates, les laissant tomber au sol. Comme chacun d'eux s'est effondré, le tireur a compté mentalement chaque meurtre. Une. Deux. Trois. Quatre. Cinq. Six. Sept. Huit. Neuf. Dix... Merde, je m'attendais à plus.
-- Eh bien, vous n'étiez pas amusants, dit le merc casque alors qu'il s'approchait des corps. Il a pris un petit casque de l'un d'eux et a parlé dans le microphone, "Si vous voulez prendre ce vaisseau de nous, vous devrez essayer beaucoup plus dur que cela." Il a regardé l'ascenseur et, bien sûr, il a commencé à remonter pour récupérer d'autres cibles pour John. Sous le casque, il a laissé un sourire invisible. Mieux vaut ne pas décevoir.
Name: John "Killjoy" Mason



Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Background: Killjoy's past is a closely held secret that no one knows, not even those who've known him since he started his career seven years ago. One thing's for sure though, he's one damn effective gun-for-hire. He's known best for his record of more than 200 confirmed kills, something he shows proudly with the tally-marks on his armor, and of completing every contract ever assigned to him. His last contract got him indebted to Starfire Company causing him to have to work off the debt. He eagerly awaits for his ten-year contract to end so he can go back to working solo.
Personality: Killjoy's arrogant, but he's got a pretty good reason for it. There's no mistaking that he's one of the best at his job and that job is making sure his target is going six feet under. He isn't completely without morals though, refusing to do any job that involves slavery or the murder of innocents. He's also a bit of a pessimist, but he claims that that's only because he wants to be prepared for the worst.
Gear:
- Two .45 Caliber Handguns
- One Machete
- Various lethal and non-lethal hand grenades
- Body armor that can stop most non-sustained small arms fire
- Helmet with tactical display
Personal Ship:



The V-17 Cobra Dropship is a re-purposed troop carrier meant to quickly transport up to twelve. Killshot's since customized it for deep space travel, more maneuverability, and more firepower. There's also a small armory inside where he keeps his various weaponry (including assault rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, etc.) for missions that may require something more than his handguns can handle. It's no bigger than a Black Hawk Helicopter of the 21st century.
