You were just pickpocketing helpless tourists for an extra quid when
you were nicked by the colonial constabulary and given a choice:
serve four years of hard labour in the Red Cheddar Mountains, or
spy on the Venusian Freedom Fighters. You swallowed your guilt
and began reporting any rumblings regarding the VFF. Thankfully,
a drunken pilot crashed a zeppelin into the colonial barracks, killing
your employers. You rummaged through the wreckage, found
yourself a couple of nice-looking ray-pistols, and whistled your way
out of town. You’ve always heard nice things about Split Gut Gulch
– how about a visit?

You are a rarity: a Venusian born on Earth. You joined the Anglican
Church, though it failed to improve your social standing. You’ve
been sent to Venus to help quell the burgeoning unrest by spreading
the Good Word. You consider yourself a stalwart defender of the
faith, but the mechanical voices booming from your Dr. Grordbort-
built, Church-sanctioned gadgetry has you wondering: whose will
are you really serving?

 Wiremu Te Ao
To the astonishment of your rugby-mad family, you excelled on the
cricket pitch. Your stellar play brought you to the attention of the
BCEF. They wanted you for their club team, and they made you an
offer you couldn’t refuse. Literally. They said you couldn’t refuse
it. Next thing you knew, you were in boot camp, then shock trooper
training...what did any of this have to do with cricket? League rules,
they said. You couldn’t play unless you were active duty. At long last,
your first test match — against the Venus-based BCEF squad. You
scored a century on 42 balls and, during the tea break, bolted for the
exit with nothing but your life savings, a few weapons commandeered
from some guards, and, of course, your trusty cricket bat.
