My official entry :
Captain Ha'Rok Jericho, the Byrd and Noosika
Outcast among the outcasts, feared by all on the Sump seas, Ha'Rock is an underworldpirate whose sole name is enough to create fear within the hearts ofthe most hardened fighters. Sailing the toxic waters aboard his Atlantis ship, donning the Jolly Roger flag of prehistoric Earth buccaneers, Captain Ha'Rok and his crew are pursuing a dream only known by them. Some say he's chasing the Mother Spider, the biggest of all sea spiders, whose eye gems would buy a planet, while others tell a strange story about a mythical free world he would build within the very foundations of the primus hive, before toppling its corrupted noble houses and reigning dynasty. One thing is sure : few are those who have seen the Atlantis and are still alive to tell it, be they House corsairs, Guilders sailors or Enforcers speedboats crews. Merciful only to his fellow pirates, Captain Ha'Rok Jericho is known as a skilled fighter when it comes to boarding situations and close combat, using his Cosmo Dragoon lasgun or his gravity saber with deadly accuracy. Even the members of his crew don't know much about his personal history and about his last name. Many storytellers, especially among his foes or victims, will say that he is just a renegade and a fraud, trying to use someone else's fame. However, if blind enough, some old drinking holes patrons ofthe sea shores will tell you about him being a secret twin of the famous bounty hunter Kal Jericho, hidden at birth by his mother, Inquisitor Heleana. She would have liked to use him as a safeguard against governor Gerontius, and raised him as a planetary space force cadet, but the rebellious young pilot hijacked his frigate ship and landed it into the ash wasteland. He would then have disappeared into the Sump seas, using the main components of his former ship to build his famous Atlantis.
Ha'Rok has often be seen with a weird dark mutant being on his shoulder, known as « The Byrd ». Its origin is as enigmatic as its master's, but most say it comes from an exoplanet where flying animals still exist, and was kept aboard the cadet frigate ship as a mascot. Producing sharp cakling sounds, it seems to be used by the captain as a lookout and an alarm when sailing the foggy and dark waters of the underworld.
Almost always in the trail of the captain is Noosika, an orphan blond female pirate. Main helmsman of the Atlantis, she seem to be in love with him, even if he sometimes look like he couldn't care less about her. Stubborn and dedicated to her captain, Noosika will follow himeverywhere and many have found out that she can be a ferocious fighter as well when needed, wielding her chainsaw sword with gory effects.
We're men! We're men in tights! We roam around the forest looking for fights!...
