▼ IC INFORMATION Character name: Simon Metzger Canon: Unplugged - Original Character Job/Role: Captain
General Reputation:Politics: Metzger is far-leaning to the point of extremism on the anti-machine spectrum, and vocally resistant to compromise with machine influence beyond what’s absolutely necessary for survival. He is suspicious of “benevolent” programs like The Oracle and derisive of widespread use of the network, her supposed gift to mankind. For those more open to cooperation with the machine world, Metzger is a well-known as an all-around pain in the ass. Think John Adams in 1776, with more hostility and less singing.
Business: Although he’s never been pinned down for it, it’s generally understood that Metzger is “connected” with the criminal underworld. He rarely moves black market goods on his own ship, but has fostered relationships in Zion, Irkalla and Antioch over the last two decades that allow for him to make arrangements for other ships to transport arms and other contraband between settlements off the books. He pays a fair cut and most instinctively seem to know better than to doublecross him.
Nidhoggr: Metzger has been Captain for 6 years and was First Mate for 5 years before that. He runs a tight ship and takes pride in being a shock to the system of freshly unplugged recruits who have big ideas about their importance in the scheme of things -- particularly those who previously believed they were superheroes, aliens, elves, etc. Although he’s protective of the crewmembers he maintains, most of the new recruits he gets wind up being cut or request transfers to other ships.
Approximately a year ago, over half of the Nidhoggr’s crew was killed in an incident whose details were never made public. Rumors about the incident, the ship, and Metzger’s skills as a Captain have been stormy in the months since.
Personal Life: It is a mystery. He’s usually working and is difficult to find at celebrations. In the years following the death of the Nidhoggr’s previous Captain, he’s been quieter. Even on the political front.
Looking For: Political (or personal) allies and enemies, business arrangements with other characters inclined to engage in black market trade and crew members past or present. Currently only the position of First Mate is filled by Cage, so bring on your pilots, operators, operatives, engineers, jugglers, etc.
Simon’s been in Zion for 17 years and is infamous to some degree, and recently lost half of his crew, so preconceived notions are welcome. If you have anything you want to establish for previous or upcoming CR hit me up, I’m down.
Notes: Metzger is rough on his recruits, and generally won’t keep anyone that doesn’t have the stomach for vigilante enforcement wrt his business affairs, but those who tough it out are rewarded with a Captain who will defend them to the death. See his app for additional details.
