Also, let me know who you envision hearing as the five OCs.

OmegaDelta: To answer your question as to what kind of mercenaries this group is, I would say that they are the kind of mercs that helps anyone they can, sometimes without reward. So basically, they would essentially be the opposites of Cerberus which is how I intended it to be.

Also, the character is getting essentially the basics though I might skip the stealth training in case it turns out to be a little tedious.

May 15th, 2180

It's been eleven months since I appeared on the Citadel and since I joined up with the Midnight Marauders. It's been interesting, to say the least as I endured rigorous training such as weapons training which included going to a firing range and I watched as Chakor demonstrated the proper stance to reduce recoil when firing as well as the proper way to breathe when taking aim.

He looked at me briefly before he handed me a gun and I took it as I took my place on the spot and took aim at the holographic target before exhaling slowly and firing the gun.

When I finished shooting, the gun felt hot in my hand as I saw that most of the shots hit the target, and feeling impressed with myself, I turned around to see Chakor with an amused grin on his face before he said "Your shooting needs work. But you're a decent shot, despite never firing a gun before."

I nodded in agreement and after shooting more targets, I headed to where Caesonia wanted me to meet her for hand-to-hand combat training.

As I walked into the practice area, I felt something hit me from behind, and as I looked up from the ground I saw Caesonia standing there looking down, a confident smirk on her face as she said "You need to be more prepared for an attack coming from anywhere. It could mean the difference between life and death, especially in this line of work."

She held out a hand and I grabbed it and pulled myself up, standing there for a couple of seconds before suddenly pulling off a surprise judo throw as I looked down at her on the ground, a surprised look on her face before it shifted into a slightly impressed look.

"I'm impressed, wasn't expecting that. It doesn't mean that I'll be going easy on you. So, don't hold back " She said as she stood up and got into a fighting stance.

"You weren't going to anyway, and I won't hold back." I said jokingly as I put my hands up in a boxing stance and I prepared for the first move.

A few minutes passed before either of us made the first move and I threw the first punch trying to land a hit to which she responded with a kick, causing me to take a few steps back and she rushed forward on the offensive before I suddenly threw a right hook, the punch landing on her face.

Caesonia stumbled back a bit as she rubbed her face before she suddenly smirked in a way that made me think 'Oh, shit.'

She ran forward and tried to jump kick at me before I rolled out of the way and countered with a sweep kick which she hopped over, throwing a punch that connected with my face.

Pain flared on my face where the punch connected and as I rubbed my face, I said "Let me guess, that was payback for punching you in the face."

She shrugged with a smirk before rushing towards me and kicking at me as I deflected the kick and countered with another sweep kick, knocking her off her feet.

The sparring match went on for a couple of hours before suddenly I ended up staring up at the ceiling as Caesonia said "A valiant effort, William but you still got a long way to go before you are ready. Now, I do believe it's time for lunch."

She gave me a hand up and I nodded in acknowledgment before I headed to my quarters so I could clean myself up before heading to the mess hall

When I entered the mess hall and got my food, I heard someone call out from behind me saying: "Ah, my friend! Come, join us."

I turned to see Wutor standing near a table, waving me over so I walked over to the table and sat down.

"So, pyjak I heard that you managed to surprise Caesonia. That's tough to do, she rarely gets surprised." Chakor said as he smirked while Caesonia glared.

"But not as tough as lifting a krogan off their feet, old man." I said with humor evident in my tone.

Chakor stared at me with an unreadable look on his face before suddenly chuckling and saying "You've got balls, kid. Not many can get away with calling me that but you've earned my respect."

Everyone at the table laughed a little before turning their attention towards eating, and as I ate, Wutor looked at me and said "Meet me at the practice area and we'll get started on the tech training."

I nodded in agreement before continuing to eat, thinking to myself 'This is going to be a long three years.'

After lunch, I headed towards the practice area to meet with Wutor for training where I was taught how to do the basic stuff before moving on to learning how to hack doors as well as how to use the overload program that was installed when Wutor gave me my Omni-tool.

A few hours and small shocks later, Wutor stopped the lesson said "My friend, your tech skills definitely need improving but you are somewhat decent, so keep working on them and you'll be close to being better than me."

I checked the time and I was surprised at how long we've been training then from behind me, Wutor said "I was not aware how long we've been training your tech skills, so how about we go eat and call it a day."

Nodding my head, Wutor and I headed to the mess hall while talking about random stuff.

Please read and review.

Also, I would like to apologize if my descriptions of the training kind of suck
