Star Raiders

The Star Raiders are a group of orphans---ages 11 through 24---living as members of StarlightPack.

Description
The Raiders (as they are more commonly known) are a tightly-organized group of orphans with a second Code of much stricter laws set up for them. While they still follow the Pack Code, they believe that if they follow the Star Code to a tee, they'll be allowed to maintain their role as a member of the Raiders. In order to distinguish a Raider from a regular Pack member when not fighting, you simply have to look for the rat-shaped pin they wear near their heart.

Unique Abilities and Skills
When fighting, you can easily tell a Raider apart from a regular Pack member by the way they fight: mostly all* of them are ambidextrous fighters! Having trained to fight with both hands, each member can stay on the battlefield for as long as possible until both their arms have either tired or been broken. Each member also has their own skill, which has been listed below alongside an explanation of how it's useful.

Tae-Won's Skill
T (Tae-Won): My skill is...mixed martial arts (MMA). I started training two years after Oswaldo (I can call him that, no-one else can) joined the Pack. By training, I mean honing my skills for better use on the battlefield. Having a street-fighter background meant I already knew half of the moves associated with MMA. The reason I learned MMA was because I didn't think armed combat was fair. At all. Yes, at some times I still use weapons, but that's only if I have to.

Marysa's Skill
Mal: My skill is dual-weapon combat. I started learning this skill before I joined the Raiders. I was nine at the tine, and my mom, who had been in the U.S. armed forces (she lived in the US), taught me these skills in case I ever came into contact with a gang of any kind. It's useful for preventing just about any kind of abduction, in my words. As with Tae-Won's skill, it would only ever be used if necessary. Nothing else.

Trivia

 * *The only non-ambidextrous member is Tae-Won Myo II.
 * In order to tell her apart from the rest of the Raiders is by looking for the eagle Cayon she keeps as a pet.


 * Because everyone else is ambidextrous, Tae-Won has excelled in using her right hand (her weak one) to disarm and set traps (her second 'unique skill').
 * Marysa is considered the 'beta' of the Raiders because of how many people obey her.
