CHARACTER DESIGN SHEET - Captain Mark

Species: Human (clone) Born: 32 BBY

[BEGIN LOG]

Mark: This is the end, huh? I made some great friends on this planet.

(he pauses)

Mark: Chapter 7, Section C, Subsection Sigma: In short, never get attached to anyone you save. It’s not like you’ll be around them for very long.

(he sighs heavily)

Mark: Sometimes I wish that wasn't a real code.

(he pauses again)

Mark: Amy became the leader of the new Planet Peebles.

(he lets out a small laugh)

Mark: I’ll miss her cheese cakes, but she did leave us some for the road. She’s the best…

(he’s silent for a moment)

Mark: Captain Mark out.

[BEGIN LOG]

Mark: A missing planet? How? Like I would get a few people, but an entire planet? When we arrived a few tics ago the entire planet of Glactictron was just missing. It was there on the sensors, but then it just wasn’t. What happened? There is no way a planet can just disappear! It’s not scientifically possible! How--

(he pauses for a moment)

Mark: We need to find out what’s going on here. Captain Mark out.

[BEGIN LOG]

Mark: We have Successfully cleared the planet and are now relocating the people of Laygo. Thankfully almost all of them survived. There were reports of maybe twenty people at most who were killed by the Zalgore when it first arrived. The millions who are left aren’t too happy and everyone keeps arguing. They’ve decided to split off into factions. A few even started to fight.

(he pauses, then speaks quietly)

Mark: Amy is very sweet, though, and helps us calm down the conflicts.

(he coughs, then speaks at normal volume)

Mark: The apparent heads of the factions are trying to appoint a new leader, but it’s not going too well--

(he’s cut off by loud arguing and fighting from outside the room)

Mark: Yikes, there they go again. I need to take care of that. Captain Mark out.

[BEGIN LOG]

Mark: Alright, to summarize Zerginoff’s distress signal, the planet was being attacked by something--something big. He didn’t do too well explaining it, but according to Zerginoff it had a mouth of fire and a body of stone. It appeared in the sky, apparently destroyed the planet, and then nothing. The signal cut off and the planet disappeared.

(he pauses)

Mark: I have never heard of anything like this. We’ve put out a message to other civilizations in this sector to look for anything matching that description, so we’re hoping we’ll get a ping before it attacks again. Mark out.

[BEGIN LOG]

Mark: Hey, Mark here. I, uh, don’t know why I started like that, but the way I’ve been starting these logs was starting to annoy me.

(he pauses)

Mark: We were on our stakeout when we saw a young girl--maybe twelve years old--stealing the flowers, so we confronted her. She screamed, apparently we startled her, but Jack’s calm demeanor and kind words quickly relaxed her.

(he pauses and speaks slightly to himself)

Mark: We were all impressed with how easily he did that.

(he pauses again, but begins speaking fully into the microphone soon)

Mark: He got her to talk and she told us she was stealing the flowers for her grandfather’s grave to replace the dying ones. She honestly touched our hearts, or at least mine. We decided to let her go but told her not to do it again. We made sure she at least kind of understood her small actions had universal ramifications. She promised not to steal again and then left, but we didn’t manage to find any leads to the gang that might be stealing the flowers.

(he sighs loudly)

Mark: Reporting back to HQ is gonna suck. Mark signing off.

[BEGIN LOG]

(his words are frantic, leaving little to no space between each one)

Mark: This is Captain Mark reporting in. Last night Commander Jack and Lieutenant Leim went missing after an explosion on the ship. We are right now recovering and on high alert. Commander Jack might have a log recorder. There is one missing so it’s more than likely he did take one, so if he is still out there he will be taking notes.

(he pauses for a moment, his words come slower)

Mark: I need to tend to my crew... Captain Mark signing off.

[BEGIN LOG]

Mark: Our scanners indicate that there is a huge beast and many life forms are under the surface of the planet. We have called for backup.

(his tone changes from robotic reporting to human relief)

Mark: A young lady came out and told us that the Commander and Lieutenant are with her and are both safe. She said her name was Amy. She, heh, she also brought cheesecake… mmm…

(he clears his throat after a moment)

Mark: At least we know where everyone is and that everyone is safe. I’m taking us on a rescue mission since Zalgores only come out at night and sleep during the day. We are going tonight to get everyone we can. Amy is going to be telling everyone to be ready.

(he pauses)

Mark: Amy is quite nice. I like her. She gave me Cheesecake!

(he pauses)

Mark: But, uh, no time for cheesecake now. We can have it once I get my crew back and save this planet. As soon as we get everyone out, the Agency should be here to take care of the Zalgore. It’ll be fine, I’ll have cheesecake, and Mark out.
