Information[edit]

Overview[edit]

Jester Squad was formed in 2002 as a part of Storm Platoon, under the command of Kiption. Jester was originally designed as a specialist squad that excelled in deep recon, operating far behind enemy lines. A true special forces squad, they earned a vicious reputation as an elite unit of Imperial Scout Troopers - the best in the Vast Empire. When Kiption left the squad and was replaced by Merrick, the squad continued to hold a reputation for excellence and sheer ruthlessness under her reign.

Jester spent years known as the best squad in the Vast Empire, and it is believed that the Advanced Recon Commandos were inspired by Jester Squad. They were also at the forefront of innovation (the multi-coloured ID tag? We have Merrick to thank for that). When Merrick eventually retired from the Stormtrooper Corps, Angel took over, and re-designed the Squad in her image. No longer were Jester the deep recon ghosts they had once been. Now, they were saboteurs, assassins and spies, tasked with destroying the enemy from within. This more active role caused more damage to the enemy, but had a higher attrition rate for Jester as well, and eventually, the squad fell under full strength.

Transferred to Wildcard Platoon, the unit has struggled to rediscover its former glory, afflicted with a high casualty rate that makes it difficult for them to build up the core of veterans that once made them great. Ever optimistic, however, Jester still hold on to a memory of a time when they were the very best, and aspire to reclaim the elite status that was once theirs.


Mission Profile/Role[edit]

Investigations/Infiltration
Jester Squad never truly let go of their recon roots, and are still extremely adept at working their way into locations that would be impossible for anyone else. The only difference is what they do when they've managed to make their way into their enemy's vulnerable underbelly. Jester's role is simple: Cripple the enemy's ability to fight however they can. Sabotage, assassination, extortion and misinformation are all fair game to the troopers of Jester Squad. They get in close, and strike the enemy from within.

Jester also are trained in investigation and detective work, and are just as capable in this role as they are as soldiers. As a result of their ability to sort through the evidence and get to the bottom of a situation, it is now unknown for Army High Command to assign Jester to anti-terrorist, criminal investigation and even internal investigation roles, something that has earned them a reputation as 'The Vast Empire's secret police'.


Squad Speciality[edit]

A1 - Infiltration
Jester Squad have always been adept at getting into places they're not wanted - they were formed as deep recon and infiltration experts, and they have never lost sight of their original mission profile. They train extensively in the arts of camouflage and concealment, and remain the most adept stealth experts in the Stormtrooper Corps, even today. As a result Jester Squad specialize in the arts of Infiltration, and members of Jester may complete their Infiltration skill story after only one week of active service. However, the usual 5 story posts requirement remains the same.

Personal Files[edit]

==

Data Files contain important information and Character Development for each character. It is edited weekly/biweekly by each member of the squad so that they can keep track of their characters feelings, emotions, and state of mind easily. It also helps to keep other squad members informed of their squad mate's behaviors.

Sergeant First Class Brightstar (SL)

Maranjo.jpg

Species: Human
Distinguishing Physical Characteristics: Red hair, violet eyes, prominent facial scar, cybernetic left arm.

Personality Profile:

  • She is complicated.
  • She cares a great deal about honor and duty, hence why she has returned to the VE so many times.
  • However, she isn't hard. Never having been able to shut down her emotions despite doing her best too, being a trooper sometimes makes her emotionally tired.
  • When she was promoted to Acting SL, she felt inadequate and unsure. It's not that she can't lead, it's more the fact that she believes there are better leaders than her out there.

Relationships

  • Havock: Bright considers Havock one of her greatest friends, and would do almost anything for her. She does not take kindly to anyone who attempts to harm Havock in anyway, and seems to be one of the very few allowed to refer to the woman by her given name. As such Havock is also one of the few who is able to use Bright's given name without getting beaten to a bloody pulp.
  • Aeos: Again a woman Bright considers a great friend. She finds it almost amusing that Aeos seems to not like the personal relationship in the least.
  • Abalar: Is happy to have her back in Jester, and is happy to call her friend.
  • THX-1138: Bright finds him extremely unpredictable and at times extraordinarilly irritating, but she finds herself trying to help him regardless.
  • Lukas_Yuy: She has not known Lukas long enough to form an opinion either way.
  • Joamer: The relationship she has with Joa is complicated, but she trusts him as much, if not more so than Havock. She counts him as one oher oldest friends, their friendship dating back to before they joined the Army.

Cody "Coadster" Davout (ASL)

Species: Human
Distinguishing Physical Characteristics: Short blonde hair, green eyes
Personality Profile:

  • Dutiful
  • Is respectful of his superiors
  • Hides fear and panic with humor
  • Trusting of those that show him friendliness
  • Fights for the greater good
  • Has existential problems with what the greater good is

Relationships

  • Joamer: Respects him as a leader, and trusts his judgement. Professional friendliness exists, but Coad feels something more could be had if the wall of experience were breached.
  • Jaenna: He sees her in a more personal and friendly light friend than Joamer, but is more cautious around her due to her abrasive personality.
  • Heliwer: While not at odds, he certainly doesn't feel like he truly knows Heli. He trusts him to watch his back in the thick of battle, but his drinking and smoking habits bother Coad.
  • Dusk: He respects the man's abilities as a soldier of the Stormtrooper Corps, but Dusk's off-the-wall style and testosterone-driven morals keep Coad from regarding him as a comrade.
  • Mox: Unsure of his motives and mystified by the sometimes erratic behavior of the man, Coad has a hard time trusting him.
  • Karash: If there's any sort of friendship outside the professional scope felt in the RAIDERS barracks, it's with him.
  • Beta: he has very mixed feelings about Beta. His quiet resolve impresses Cody, but his aloofness worries him as well. He's unsure of where he stands in Beta's books, and so is unsure of how he should treat the soldier himself.
  • Xylonia: Xy's personality reminds Coad of a timebomb, and it puts him a bit on edge. She's friendly enough to him, though, and that's something he can reciprocate.

Lance Corporal THX1138

TherexPortrait.JPG

Species: Chiss
Distinguishing Physical Characteristics:
Like most of his species, Therex has dark blue skin and red eyes. One is a prosthetic, after a confrontation with his brother. He usually wears a long trench coat that flows behind him. He prefers loose clothing and boots. His back and arms are covered in scars, from multiple forms of Chiss torture.

Personality Profile:
Therex is a recluse, avoiding contact with others whenever possible. Unlike most doctors that he has worked with, Therex is very lax on the philosophy of doctors not causing harm to others. He believes that sometimes pain can be the best medicine.

Relationships

  • Brightstar: Respects her as a squad leader, but is wary of her.
  • Coadster: Doesn't know much about him, but he does trust him.
  • Lilith: A newer member, so he is leery, but so far he has found all the reason to trust her.
  • Hammerhead: Really doesn't care about him. He is just sorta there.
  • Lightray: Kind of a jerk, but still trustworthy.
