Meet the Crew

Holden Salvage has over 50 years of collective experience in the salvage and recovery industry. Our diverse team can tackle any challenge with a spectrum of the necessary knowledge to get the job done and done right.

Frank Holden - Owner and Chief Salvage & Recovery Specialist
Frank is 37 years old with almost two decades of experience in salvage and recovery. Including ten years in the Federal Navy as an Engineering Recovery Specialist. Frank rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer (E-7) before leaving to start Holden Salvage.

Frank will be my main character obviously. He has Hard Body armor (thanks to Mr. X) and a laser pistol (a gift from Admiral Zed Cane (CnC of Fleet Recovery Group) when Frank left the Navy). He also has an old jump jet pack that he and Chub modified to fit his armor.

As I get everything worked out for No Limits, I will post each characters stats.

Chub Daniels - Senior Salvage & Recovery Specialist
Chub is 32 years old and has been with Holden since the beginning. He served with Frank all six years of his Federal Navy career also as an Engineering Recovery Specialist.

Chub has Soft Body armor (he doesn't like the constricting nature of the Hard Body armor that Mr. X gave them) and has a SAW also courtesy of Mr. X. Chub is actually a mutant though only he and Frank (and likely Mr. X) know that for fact. He has an almost toad like face and sickly greenish tint to his skin. However he is also big and bulky and has a temperament that ensures that no one gives him a second look. If they value their lives anyway. Chub is Franks best friend and right hand man. They have been through a lot together and each would gladly give their life for the other.

Zak Swift - Salvage & Recovery Specialist
Zak is 23 years old and what he lacks in experience he makes up with a single minded dedication to accomplishing the mission. Zak does what it takes and that can-do attitude has made him an integral part of Holden Salvage.

Zak has Exo armor that includes an integrated Auto Laser (details in an upcoming post). Zak is one of the "Z Brothers" as Frank calls them, with the other being Zeek (see below). They are twin brothers and both are usually a pain in the ass for Frank. But they do their jobs very well despite their oddities and besides, Mr. X recommended them to Frank so they must be good for something.

Zeek Swift - Computer & Electronics Specialist
Zeek is also 23 years old being Zak's twin brother. He received a degree in Computer Science from Jesibel Technology University and provides Holden Salvage with the critical know how for complex salvage operations involving computer and electronic systems.

Zeek also has Exo armor. However, he carries a standard Assault Rifle as his armor has a special built in computer. The other of the "Z Brothers" Zeek is, despite his higher IQ and education, a bit less reliable than his older brother Zak. But when it comes to getting a job done, like Zak he puts his nose to the grind stone.

Sheila Richardson - Transportation Specialist
Sheila is a 29 year old with a passion for motion. Cars, trains, planes, starships. She loves them all and she knows them all well. When it comes time to move that salvage from point A to point B, Sheila makes it happen. Sheila also served in the Federal Navy as a Transport Specialist for for four years, two of them with Frank and Chub.

Sheila has Hard Body armor and Laser Carbine (all of course thanks to Mr. X).

Jim Wilkons - Security Specialist
Jim is a 42 year old Federal Navy Fleet Marine Force veteran. Jim has been there and done that and has extensive experience providing top board security both in the Fleet Marine Force and out and he has the medals and commendations to prove it. Jim ensures that our clients critical salvage gets into their hands safe and sound.

Jim has Hard Body armor and an Assault Rifle.

JB - JobBot 1700
Oh sure, most companies have a JobBot of some kind, but JB is a special part of Holden Salvage. A gift from an especially grateful client, JB helps us get the job done and despite him being a non-sentient robot, we are thankful to him for that.

JB is a robot with exo armor equivalent. He is unable to use ranged weapons but his two lifting claws are now deadly weapons thanks to the GrayMatter combat subsystem upgrade from Mr. X. While he isn't truly sentient he is no ordinary JobBot since he has considerable autonomous capability.

This is just the beginning. I plan on adding more detail to each character as time goes on, revealing more background and possibly changing things for them if needed.
