Conversions:FantasyParvari owns a sailing ship, with a decidely "motley crew." ModernI haven't got any good ideas for what this should be. Near FutureParvari has a small, struggling corp., probably still in the transportation business. His employees are really strange . . . Captain Parvari is the much-ignored majority owner of the Albatross, a merchant-freighter starship that trades with/delivers to fringe worlds - far-flung stations, non-spacefaring races (Prime Directive? To pay the mortgage on the ship!), etc. Between his bad luck and the fringe-routes the ship travels, the Albatross' crews are generally the dregs of the spacer-profession. That's okay - he only pays them every other month, at best . . . Parvari is not particularly honest, and may engage in a little smuggling on the side, if it seems safe. The one thing in life Parvari seems to really care about is his ship, which has been in the family for a while, and is a patchwork of TL10, TL11, and some cutting-edge TL12 equipment (sensors and communications) that he got when his crew saved a noted genetic engineer from terrorists. (The reward came from the gengineer's daughter . . . ) [In our RL game, he's the NPC captain - his crew includes/has included T'k'k, the Hive Beetle engineer and 10% owner of the ship; Awoloomarra, the Sparrial pilot and Jack of All Trades; Etalon, the Irari doctor pursuing research on what warp-fields do to genetic structures; Derek/Dirk, the Split Personality security fellow, who alternates between being very nice, and Bad Tempered; Warren Pharel, a merchant/trader who might actually be good enough to get a Real Job; a variant of Kelly M'Buto, resident psi supercargo; Cyrus from Alardin, pilot with a Past; and my variant of Quicksilver, who is slumming for no obvious reason. Parvari gets ignored a lot. He's noted for being kidnapped by four-foot-tall bear-like aliens on a primitive planet, and held hostage so a xeno-anthropologist with delusions of revolution could explain why the seven-foot-tall bear-aliens were "oppressing" the "Little Folk."] Typical Quotes:"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . Huh? Oh, right, it's your shift now, Awol. You have the bridge." (Back to list of Space Characters)
