Rush

The Rush
"Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys."

A space adventurer by fate and a criminal by choice, Franklin Stanford Roosevelt has been to the ends of the galaxy and back again. When he's not galavanting across the universe with a rag tag group of misfit aliens as the interstellar outlaw known as "The Rush", he's backing up the Earth Defense Command with his self-proclaimed legendary skill and infamous style, not entirely by choice. If the legends are true, The Rush is most often seen wielding his Hex Scrambler, modified for non-lethality or his trusty plasma shotgun, affectionately known as the Yellowjacket. When he's not on his feet, he's behind the controls of his illegally modified VTOL aircraft known across the galaxy as the Black Sparrow. Stolen from under the nose of a vile space pirate, the Black Sparrow is equipped with a variety of evasive countermeasures and a pair of EMP Pulse Cannons for when he just has to get violent. Regardless of who or what he's fighting for, whether it be money, infamy or freedom, The Rush is going to make sure the entire galaxy knows his name.

Back Of The Box
Franklin Stanford Roosevelt was a scrawny kid that was always picked on a beat up, but he loved everything about science fiction, space exploration and adventure. A troubled kid, he grew up with little to no friends and basically standoffish from everyone he encountered. The moment he was allowed to go into space, he left. Hooking up with alien hoodlums of all types, he basically became an intergalactic outlaw, wreaking havoc across the galaxy. Y'know, until an attempted robbery of a Galactic Assembly official got him arrested and thrown in space jail, where he's been sitting for the past two years. But with the sudden resurgence of the Earth Defense Command and their need for ace pilots, it looks like The Rush is getting a second chance to prove he's the legend he wants to be.
