Black Pirates
are “men six feet and over in
height. Have clear cut and handsome
features; their eyes are well set and large, though a slight narrowness gives
them a crafty appearance. The iris is
extremely black while the eyeball itself is quite white and clear. Their skin has the appearance of polished
ebony.” (TMM, glossary) The harnesses of the black pirates or first
born are lavishly adorned with gold, silver, platinum and precious gems.
Just like the yellow Martians, the First Born from the
Tree of Life are neither telepathic nor oviparous. Minimal level for an adult warrior is three.
Black pirates neither labor nor invent.
They have a healthy respect for the Green Martian. Fearless and reckless, black pirates prefer
to take weapons, ammo, fliers and gems as plunder. They frequently enslave red Martians and
female therns.
“There is no peasantry amongst the
First Born. Even the lowest soldier is a
god, and has slaves to wait upon him.
The First Born do not work. The men fight- that is a sacred privilege
and duty; to fight and die for Issus.
The women do nothing, slaves wash them, slaves dress them, slaves feed
them.” (GM, XI)
The First Born were ruled by a twisted charlatan posing as a
goddess. This bloated, toothless
megalomaniac has lived for millennia and has unquestioned authority. Black pirate princes or dators had the privilege of gazing upon the visage of their
goddess, Issus. If a captive was allowed
to gaze upon Issus, their mandated life expectancy was less than one year.
In the center of the lush Valley Dor
is the Lost Sea of Korus. Upon the shores of Korus (the Red Planet’s only open body of water) is the sacred temple of Issus. The sheer
perpendicular Otz Cliffs circumscribe the oval Valley Dor. Beyond the bejeweled
Otz cliffs are the frozen and treacherous Otz Mountains of the south pole which
are inhabited by furred beasts.
When generating black pirate characters add +2 to strength and subtract
two from wisdom.
The preferred class of black pirates is warrior.
