Character
Under the radar and over heads....
Damian Starchaser sat in the lounge of the hotel. Last time he was here he had to light a small fire in an empty supply closet and make a quick escape with a case full of… well that wasn’t important. What was important was that the hotel had almost caught him, and thus had good security.
Sasha Santhe. Damian had only met the woman a handful of times, the first being on a cruise with Kana when he helped stop a pirate attack and later recovered design schematics stolen from Sasha’s safe onboard the Bright Star liner, and so was a surprise when he received a request for a meeting with the woman. He showed up and acted respectfully while trying not to oogle her in her tiny little…. no that was a Marek thought. Damians mood soured. Sasha had met him to arrange for a payment from Marek Starchaser. In return for not seeking out his father, and not interrupting his father's gambling operations any further he was given a one time lump sum.
Marek Starchaser didn’t want to see his genetic son, didn’t want that cloned offspring to interact with him or his business or to acknowledge him in any way. Jackass.
When asked what he intended to do with the money Damian answered truthfully. Being honest, for once in his life, earned him a chance to talk with a business advisor and earned him an investment from Miss Santhe and associates along with names and channels from Sasha’s rolodex.
Between these contacts and open invitations given to various guilds and cold calls to other businessmen and women he’d arranged for a meetings. His biggest worry was that no one would show up.
No that wasn’t true. He knew someone would show up. Indeed his biggest worry was that no Starchaser would show up. Damian didn’t really know his family, what there was of it. He had exhausted a number of resources tracking down members of the clan and sending invitations to the meeting, but feared above all else that this family would ignore him…. just like Marek. Jackass.
With everything laid out and the appointed hour approaching Damian reviewed his notes for the venture. Fashion company. Bottom up. Start with the agricorps, supply textiles, create fabric, design clothes and accessories. Maybe [member="Ayden Cater"] could run the hat department…
But it wasn’t simple clothing. That was just a step one. Designs for utility and survival would be emphasized along with glamour. The Agricorps could branch out into foodstuffs, he heard that Sasha already had a line on getting a McYoda contract for him. Of course his primary concern was funnelling money from this company into the Galactic Alliance, either through virtue of job creation or straight embezzlement and profit donation. He’d leave that part of the plan out of the public eye though.
Maybe if he could earn some money for the cause he’d get Coren’s attention…
Force! That wasn’t a very Jorus Merrill thing to think. Hell a fashion company wasn’t very Jorus Merrill! Damian thought of his roguish hero and frowned. At least he would get to look at pretty… no. That was a Marek thought. And Marek Starchaser was a jackass.
