Chop Harlison

Chop Harlison had a promising future, having completed most of his degree in advanced repulsorlift design, when his parents died and the money ran out. One of the many gang wars that occurred in Gallisport killed both his father and mother and forced Chop to take over responsibility for raising his younger brother Roy. His father’s debtors claimed their home and put the boys out on the street.

Homeless, the boys set out to find a place for themselves in the violent city. They found a home with the Rabid Mynocks.

The Mynocks took the boys in and protected them. They in turn learned to be useful members of the gang. Roy took to riding a swoop, and using his “popper” to defend their turf when he was old enough. Chop learned to fix things — lots of things. The techs found Chop to be a natural at repairing and improving their swoops. After few years, he took all the knowledge learned from the Mynock techs and earlier schooling and started experimenting with new swoop designs to begin development on the Star Slinger.

Life with the gangs is not all fun and war. Soon after joining the Mynocks, Chop met Sharda, the woman he fell madly in love with. Sharda and Chop had a child they named Jardra, now the lead singer of the radical band Hyperspaze. A rival gang, the Spiders, killed Sharda on one of their numerous raids on Mynock territory. With Sharda dead, Chop saw no reason to stay with the gang. Removing Jardra from the gangs’ influences, he opened his own legitimate tech repair shop and called it Chop’s Shop.

Chop’s main concern now is taking care of Jardra and keeping an eye on Roy and Bobi, a street orphan he took in. He would lay down his life for either of them. Chop maintains contacts with the Rabid Mynocks as a favor to Roy, helping the gang as much as he can. For now, he is happy tinkering with his experiments and watching Jardra’s promising music career take off.

The Star Slinger

The brain child of Chop Harlison, the Star Slinger is the result of years of tinkering and advanced repulsorlift engineering. By incorporating restricted parts with new design theories, Chop has made the Star Slinger the premiere example of swoop technology.

Starting with the body of a Mobquet-Q swoop racer, Chop replaced the standard repulsor coils with lift coils from the Empire’s new Aratech 64-Y Swift 3 repulsor sled.
