Talking to a Rock

Orbiting above Nexus were hundreds of Dominion war ships trying their best to provide a blockade in order to keep pesky Exile trash off of the Empire's latest find. Nexus was a treasure trove of ancient technology, magic, and resources that the Dominion could not let the ragtag group of rebel fighters get their hands on it. The Star's Reach was one of the blockade prisons that housed any possible Exlie member caught trying to get down to Nexus. Holes in the network allowed for some to get through, either by Exile escort or cunning infiltration, but a decent number of individuals found themselves being retained by the Dominion forces. Aggressive questioning -- fancy speak for interrogation -- was the standard for any detainees abroad any of the blockade prisons. Sometimes valuable information was gained that could be used down on Nexus, and other times it was a complete waste of time. This session was one of the latter.

Unknown Cassian: This is Agent 06032014-V, Codename Vyper. I am proceeding with the interrogation of the Granok intercepted on the way to Nexus during yesterday's assault on an unidentified frigate. The subject's name?

Grimlock: Grimlock.

Vyper: Subject's real name?

Grimlock: Grimlock.

Vyper: Cute. What is your purpose for attempting to land on Nexus?

Grimlock: Heard they have some damn good beer down there.

Vyper: You are aware that you are in a very bad position, correct? I would try to be more agreeable if I were you.

Grimlock: Yep, see that's the thing about it. I'm pretty stubborn. Ya know, bein' rock and all.

Vyper: Very well. Let's continue. Subject's profession?

Grimlock: Badass.

Vyper: Subject's real profession?

Grimlock: ...

Vyper: Badass. Of course. Subject's preferred style of execution due to uncooperation?

Grimlock: Anything with cool explosions or some sort of epic laser beams will do just fine.

Vyper: I would strongly advise you to take this seriously, but since you are obviously thick-headed we'll just get the rest of this done and have you shipped off for processing. Subject's likes and dislikes? For your obit that we send to the rest of your friends being held here.

Grimlock: Easy. Three things I like, lady, and I like 'em big. Beer. Booms. And Boo-

Vyper: Noted. Finally, subject's skills and talents? Good laboratory subjects are really hard to find.

Grimlock: Makin' stuff explode, killin' your robo-friends, and beer-drinkin'. Really good at the beer-drinkin' part. Could improve on the other two.

Vyper: And finally, subject's affiliation with any known Exile group, operations, or individuals.

Grimlock: Before I answer that I left out one of my talents. Lockpickin'.

Vyper: Alright. Though I don't see how that would help us in a laboratory scenario or holds any relevance in this interview. Lockpicking is not exactly the ty-... Oh. Lockpicking.

Grimlock: Yup.

Static filled the screen after the Granok subject lunged from his seat free of his binders and knocked the metal bars of his cell clear off its hinges.

[ Not my usual style, but I thought I'd give the script format a try and see if it fleshed out Grimlock's personality a bit. Just to give an idea for the character. No longer going with this character concept, but I will leave this here as some writing. Comments, critiques, and concerns always appreciated. ]

Sounds interesting.  I'm always huge on dialouge and body langauge speaking for the character and I thought it worked out really well.  Kinda a shame you scrapped the idea since being an ex Dominion prisoner sounds fun.
Characters -
(Shaylene) Shaylene Driftstone : Aurin Stalker (tank) Outfitter Soldier
(Milner) Joseph Milner : Human Engineer (tank) Architect Settler
(Tanua) Tanua ? : Human Esper (DPS)... drunk... explorer.
(Neyrid) Dr. Neyrid Wonderleaf : Aurin Spellslinger (Healer) technologist and scientist.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. It is not my typical style but it was fun to write. There are aspects of Grimlock in Ade so it was not totally scrapped. Again, thanks for the read and comment.

Entertaining read. I can't wait to RP with him in game. He sounds like a fun character to RP as well.
