Realizing that a broker may be a good addition to a merchant crew, or at least a contact, I used the RPG Suite to create a merchant broker. 4 terms and he only ended up with broker 2, and one of those was from getting a rank. And honestly, broker really bends the game far too much in the merchant's favor I think. And finally, not sure there is actually room on board the No Refunds for simply a broker. Ewo handles most of the ship's financial and administrative side of things, and I think there would be too much overlap in duties. He also overlaps Malik's area, which is steward and comms/sensors. So I think we'll just allow him to be a passenger who is trading his commission for passage. He'll help at Mont (though no idea what he is going to do there - we'll see as we get there I suppose).
Petria Klytria is a small, nervous looking man in his mid-30s. Early balding has given him a penchant to wearing hats. He carries a ceremonial dagger he received after more than a decade brokering and dealing with suppliers, brokerage houses and merchants in the League of Planets.
His first term was with Micah and Daughters, a family-owned brokerage from Llamma, an agricultural world with an A port. His training included the minimum steward, vacc suit safety, basic electronics and administrative skills. Turns out Mr. Klytria is a very persuasive man, a boon to brokering good deals. He was promoted, and honed his computer and comms skills. Staying with Micah and Daughters, he continued to learn and make more deals, getting promoted and picking up some of legal background for dealing with various entities in the League. He also managed to get a huge tip, and came into some additional credits, but Micah & Daughters thought he was not paying enough attention to their family business, and it was a few years before he got promoted again. Leaving Micah & Daughters, he moved to Montca. Living briefly on the streets before landing a job, where he was rapidly promoted while working at Shuixen Limited Brokerage. Taking some on-line classes, he picked up a broader array of administrative skills. Deciding he had enough of working for others, he decided he would seek out his own opportunities. Realizing that Montca had a wide variety of brokerages, and looking at Mont without a single brokerage, Petria decides that perhaps his future is there.
Making a deal with the crew of the No Refunds, he makes his working passage to Mont in trade for his trading skills.
Petria Klytria, Merchant Broker 4 terms, age 34
He'll show up on my next solo play, probably this weekend as it is a nice long weekend.
