hunting nature(Ozan's BHG training)

[Count Sam]

well...it has not been so long, since my father kicked me out of the house, and I was forced to kill my fellow parteners for some money issues.Well it is not like I really cared about them, or anything, but my job as a bounty hunter was gettting worse, and I even locked the family armour that I first used, and made since I was 18 year old in a box.


Well it is not like I decided to quite, or anything I was actually waiting for a good chance.Yeah a good chance to get back to work,to get back to killing people, and gaining money for that.


It was during night, and I was walking in the streets of corllia as usual when I decided to stop, and have a drink.I actually gulped it fast, not giving myself anytime to taste it, and after I finished I just stayed where I was sitting waiting for a chance,for new job, since I was really disappointed to start looking again, and well that was the first time for me to go out, and into a cantina, but oh well after all I still had a knife with me that was hidden under my clothes.

 

[T.J]

To most Corellia was a bright rotating orb of security and a more quiet type of living unseen on the bustling skylanes of Coruscant, unfortunately to others it was a place to hide and commit foul deeds. People tended not to dig to deep into Corellia, it just seemed like a honest place to most. Making it a perfect place for the big time gun runners and smugglers to set up shop. It was a place that Ares Varga found himself in more than he would have liked, but a hunter must go where the prey goes, so he was content in his surroundings. The hunter was tracking someone, a sentient he had been hoping to run into for the last week or so. Sitting down on an old permacrete bench, he found what he was looking for.

A soft whirring could be heard inside his helmet as its optics zoomed in on a target, a Duros male, middle aged, went by the name Zakar. The armored hunter watched as the alien walked into a nearby cantina from a bench quite a ways away. Zakar looked nervous, which was expected from a wanted felon with a price on his head. To Ares he was the worst kind of criminal, a sociopath, with total disregard for other sentient life. The alien killed like it was a game, genuinely having fun while performing such horrific acts of cruelty. The buzzing in Ares head that he got whenever around such scum was at a peak not seen to him in months. He himself would enjoy every moment of extinguishing the Duros males life.

The bounty hunter quietly stood, making sure his prey was completely inside the cantina before himself making his way to the establishment. He waited several minutes outside for so his target could get comfortable, then entered and went to the back of the cantina to observe. To his slight shock, Zakar was already picking up another potential victim, a rather young looking human female. It made Ares job all the more rushed, but his many years as a bounty hunter kept his head level. Seeing that the two were getting ready to leave, Ares stood and walked as if he was going to the bar.

Without warning he pulled one of his heavy blaster pistols out and vaporized a large portion on Zakar's head before he could even draw his own firearm. The feeling of the buzzing leaving Ares head was almost euphoric, but his job wasn't done. Pulling a small vial out of a pouch on his belt, Ares collected a brain matter and blood sample from Zakar to confirm the completed hunt. The girl that the Duros was trying to seduce was in total shock, but that was not the concern of Ares, he simply set a piece of flimsi with Zakar's name and crimes on the table infront of her before picking up the still twitching body and dropping it outside the door. The armored hunter then sat back down in his original seat, he was going to relax a little before heading back home.

 

[Count Sam]

Well...Things were starting to get really so boring with me, and all what I was doing was just drinking, and drinking.But oh well it seemed that it was not going to be that boring after all, or at least that is what I realised when I saw an armoured man killing a Duron.

Oh well the guy was professional, this was something I had to give to him.Damn his aiming was even better than mine, but oh well that made me much more intersted to talk to him.So after having one more drink I headed toward the place where he was sitting.

"your aiming is good, you must be a professional bounty hunter if I am not mistaken"I told him in a friendly tone, and my tone also made me sound like some sort of idiot, or at least that is what I thought.But after all I had enough expirence in this job to tell that he was a bounty hunter.

 

[T.J]

With a tilt of his head to get a better look at the intruder Ares spoke, the exterior speakers in his helmet giving his voice a cold and metallic feel to his voice.

" You aren't mistaken..... But then again anyone here could have figured that one out." The bounty hunter paused for a moment, not entirely sure why the young man before him was even talking to him.

" What d'you want kid? I'm not gonna whack some random punk that's been irkin you if that's what you're wondering."

 

[Count Sam]

"no...no that is not it"I gave a slight laugh as I said this sentence,gladely I ws not from the kind of people who got angry easily.

"I am also a bounty hunter myself,and I have been working as one, for quite sometime"I Added as I changed my tone to an offical tone.

I then looked around to see if anyone around was hearing us, but gladely everyone was concentrating in what they were doing."I am looking for a job with you if possible"I said in a very low voice making sure that no one else was hearing us.

 

[T.J]

Ozan's proposition made Ares sit up a bit in his chair, but only to get a little more comfortable. BY the looks of things the young human wasn't leaving any time soon, so Ares figured he might as well get comfortable.

" Listen kid......Id love to just let every young gun come waltzin in and try to show their grit. But the fact is most of em end up lying on the ground trying to hold their own guts in........What makes you think you have the what it takes? What drives you?"

As Ares spoke he folded his hands on the table before him, his cybernetic fingers whirring softly from under his armor as they meshed with his organic ones.

 

[Count Sam]

From his question I knew well that he was testing me, and well I decided to answer him truthfuly"Well...Since I was young I developed a great love for guns, and blasters, and started learning how to make them since I was six, but that was not it I also enjoyed fighting, and taking other people lifes, and at the age of 18 I started my job as a hunter, and well I was good at it.Yeah I was naturly gifted with aiming at targets."I told him in a confident, yet truthful tone as I looked at him.


"Okay, so I have been talking too much for now,the least thing you can do for me is ordering me a drink right?"I said, but oh well I was not really thiristy, but I was trying to be cunning with him, just to know more about his personality, and his life.

 

[T.J]

" This isn't a date buddy, I don't need to buy you anything." Ares quickly said as he unfolded his hands and leaned back in his chair again. The young man was starting to annoy him, he had just wanted to relax before heading home, and now he had to deal with some nosy kid.

" If your serious about bounty hunting, I am currently co-leading a guild dedicated to their cause. If you really want to prove your metal, try joining up with us. Ill be the judge if your really up to the challenge."

 

[Count Sam]

From his answer I knew well that he was from the kind of people who gets angry fast, but stil I myself was calm, and was still in my cheerful, and friendly mode, yet I did not want to get on his nerves.

"okay..okay never mind about the drink, so when do we get started? I am really so eager to start bounty hunting again"

 

[T.J]

" Start? You need to be evaluated before you start anything...." Ares before standing and walking towards the door of the establishment. He turned only once to see if Ozan was following him, then exited into the night air. The armored hunter expected the new recruit to follow, if he didn't it was his loss.

 

[Count Sam]

evaluation?why did I need evaluation I had some experince in this job, but well I Decided to follow him after all"hey...wait for me"I said as I caught up with him.

"well....befor we start do you mind If I went back to my home to bring my gears?"I gave out a nervous, and soundless laugh as I said this sentence."you can come with me, my house is so close, it is in the upcoming alley"I added.

 

[T.J]

" Lesson one then. Always have your gear. Always. What would have happened if a disgruntled family or gang member of a past bounty came for revenge? And your gear..... was at home?" Ares paused for a response but didn't give Ozan long enough to reply.

" You'd be a slag pile that's what......Go ahead and get anything you need, you wont be coming back to Corellia for a couple days if not weeks. The BHG's main base is on Coruscant. That's were we're going."

 

[Count Sam]

Well..He gave me the first lesson, and well I was going to tell him how I was disappointed, and how things were going bad with me, but well I decided to keep my mouth shut, and keep the reason that made me leave my stuff at home for myself.

I sprinted toward my house, and got my stuff ready, I putted on my armor,helmet, and took out my favorite blaster, from the box that I was keeping these stuff in.Finally it seemed that I was going to have some fun at last.

" I am ready so when do we leave?"I said as soon as I arrived back to him, well again I was so eager to start working again, and well I felt that I was not the only one ready.It seemed that my gears were ready as well.

 

[T.J]

" We leave now. I want to get you set up at the main guild office as soon as possible. " Ares said plainly as he turned again and walked to the nearest spaceport. his ship, the Precious Pride, was docked there. It was basically the hunters home, he had raised his child there and it was were his family lived with him. It was lucky for Ozan that he would probably not meet Ares's wife, a firey woman by the name of Stasha. She had a certain distaste for unexperienced hunters and recruits alike. Although Ares had a hunch she might show up when they got back to Coruscant, she always had a way of squirming her way into delicate operations.

As the two approached the space port, Ares pulled from a pouch on his belt a datapad. Quickly turning it on, he turning his head slightly to look at Ozan before speaking.

" Got a name kid? I'm gonna need it to make your record."

 

[Count Sam]

I followed the old man to the place where his ship was, and I really was hating the way he treated me.After all it was not the first time for me to work as a bounty hunter.He then asked me for my name, Oh well It took me a few seconds to answer since I was lost deep in my thoughts.

"My name?....Yeah I am Ozan....Ozan Dagger" I said in a nervous tone.

 

[T.J]

" Dagger?......Hmm.... You wouldn't happen to be related to the Dagger family that manufactures weapons and armor are you? They have good quality equipment, no wonder you have their style armor." Ares said idly as his ship came into view. It was his pride and joy, he had made it when he was much younger. Back before he ever got into the bounty hunting business. of course it has been constantly refurbished and refitted to keep up with the times.

With a clicker taken from his belt, Ares activated the ships main entrance way and calmly walked up the ramp. As he made his way to the main area just before the cockpit, he quickly locked most of the rooms save for the medical bay. After all it was his home, and he didn't want just anyone poking around it.

" Take a seat. Ill get the ship up in the air and into hyperspace." Ares said without turning to face Ozan. The armored hunter then disappeared into the cockpit, the rumble of the ships massive twin engines kicked into gear. The ship shot into the atmosphere of Corellia and was in space in a matter of minutes. Minutes more and the Precious Pride was shooting smoothly through hyperspace.

Ares decided to let Ozan stew a while. So he decided to stay in the locked cockpit for about a half an hour.

 

[Count Sam]

It seemed that this guy knew alot of stuff about my family, but after all he was a bounty hunter, so he sure must have met some one from my family, or at least heard about them."yeah...indeed I am"That was all what I said to him, since I decided not to talk alot.

And then finally the old man's ship came into view.well I kind of liked the ship even tho it seemed a little bit old to me.I then did what he told me to do,and took a seat when we got into the ship, and I was also watching him carefully, as he activated the ship on auto-pilot, and then he went to the cockpit.

I was simply sitting on my seat waiting for the old guy to show up.But damn it what was taking him so long?could he be sleeping, or something.I started to think heavily again.

 

[T.J]

((Just a quick question. " Not that it really matters just wondering" How can Ozan know that Ares is old? When Ares wears a fully enclosed armor and helmet system, and the helmet distorts his voice?))


Once Ares figured it was enough time, he stepped out of the cockpit and took a seat opposite of Ozan. Activating the same datapad before as he sat, his plan was to get the more office oriented portion of the training out of the way before they even got to Coruscant.

" I'm going to ask you a few questions now so that I can get a better hold on your character. Guild regs. You understand. " The bounty hunter silenced as he brought up the information he needed on the datapad, it was different than normal procedure because most of the time he had a full computer to work with.

" Have you, or will you ever, kill innocent sentients?"

 

[Count Sam]

OCC:Thats because Ozan is 25 years old, and Ares was calling him kid, so obviously he reckoned that Ares was old, but he still does not know his age.


Finally my trainer showed up, after making me wait for awhile.Questions?god damn it this was starting to get boring already, but hey I have decided to do anything to get back to my work after all, so I was simply going to answer him truthfuly, and without lying.

"I haven't killed innocents befor, but I would kill one if I have to"I spoke my tone was offical, and emotionless.I was trying to show him how serious about this job I was.

 

[T.J]

" There is always a choice to not kill those undeserving. You'll do best to learn that quickly. " Ares said coldly, making his voice as it came out of the exterior speakers on his helmet seem all the more unforgiving.

" Would you come to the assistance of a fellow guild member? Even if you were just about to capture your bounty?"
