The Pack
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Founded by Bryn and Astrid among others. The Pack is essentially one large found-family who’ve built some businesses together. They were each from a rough background, disillusioned with the nature of life, and trying to make something better for themselves. Astrid used her business-savvy to build a firm financial foundation that could start to lift them out of the squalor that is life at the bottom of corporate society.
The primary business is a bar, The Claw and Fang run by Bryn. It’s a popular and relaxed place, a shelter away from the worst of the world, a place of warmth, food, and comfort. Plus with some good management it’s become a top-tier destination.
Daisy runs a secondary business in bounty-hunting and various other paramilitary work with Holden. They act in a way as the emergency plan. If anyone were to ever pose a threat to the Pack, Daisy and her ship would be there to either save them or evacuate.
Most of the members are some type of canine-morph through gene-editing, though not all of them.
Membership
Section titled “Membership”The members are a small group of disadvantaged citizens who’ve banded together to make it in the world. They’re all tied together by a dislike for the current nature of their lives here. Most of them have opted for a canine-style gene editing, though not all of them. There is a strong current of resistance and even an affinity for piracy, but the group largely just wants to live the civilian life: survive and find happiness.
Property
Section titled “Property”A relatively new Martian Corvette and legitimate salvage. The Tachi is a mercenary ship, typically sent on missions for snatch and grabs or occasionally an assassination. It's state of the art armaments and some modifications make it a tough little ship in a system full of pirates.
The Pack's main form of income and one of the nicest bars in the system. This is an upscale, old-style bar where Bryn supports her family and provides a friendly ear to all who'll speak.
Members
Section titled “Members”A former street-rat turned wolf, Aspen is mostly a bundle of happiness and kindness. His life started out dark and miserable, but he's strived every day to smile for himself and others. His only goal is to live a simple life and never suffer as he did before.
The leader of a Pack, a well connected business woman, and a force to be reckoned with. Every day of Astrid's life was spent fighting, struggling, and clawing her way to more. She is tough, determined, and unstoppable.
A rich girl who's gotten in over her head, with a heart far too big for this world's narrow rules. She's gone out into New Athens to discover herself and set on a path of changing the entire universe for the better.
Ellie is a sweet girl, a front-line first responder, and a trained medic. She's doing her best in a life she didn't ask for, burdened by an impossible task, and still smiling every day.
A trained assassin and a disillusioned Martian ex-pat, Daisy is a bounty-hunter looking to settle scores for the poor and powerless. She takes on high-paying jobs to fund her lifestyle and cheap kids to remind the rich and powerful: you are not untouchable.
A mountain of a main, he's a bounty hunter and the last man you want to fight. To the innocent, he's as gentle as a lamb, and to those who would bring misery for a penny, he's a demon. A life being at the bottom, crushed by the world's cruelty has taught him to fight back.
