<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Miranda Keys<strong></strong></strong></span></div><br/><div class="floatright">(https://sfmlab.com/media/jumbo/VqKIbugB.jpg.750x500_q85_crop.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Current Occupation:</strong>Pirate Captain and sometimes Mercenary.<br/><br/><strong>Home World Information:</strong>the Halo verse was one of the first worlds that the Empress wanted to claim for her own, the massive shipyards and industrial power were a boon, helping to establish her dominance over the region. The Dynasty had its navy necessary to swing its might wherever it needed it. All it wanted in return was the dismemberment of all its military forces and a yearly tribute of ships, at a rate which would require most of the populace to work in factories. The few who aren't slaving their lives away to fill the tribute are living in luxury as the elite and wealthiest of the world without a care to be had, except for those damnable pirates.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance/Style Description:</strong>Miranda, despite no longer being in the UNSC and now nothing more than a pirate and mercenary captain, still prefers wearing the old uniforms, in some way she feels it keeps the memory of it alive and well. She also uses it to show that she is far more professional than her other counterparts who chose to wear strange, flamboyant, and raggedy clothing.<br/><br/><strong>Sexuality</strong>: Bisexual leaning more towards Hetero.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Miranda is bitter about how her world bent the knee so easily to the Dynasty and allowed it to step on them without so much as an argument. This was what led to her going AWOL when the time came to turn in her ship to be dismantled. Otherwise she has a fair sense of humor thanks to a certain Sgt. and isn't afraid to fight dirty when she needs to.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Miranda was there when the Dynasty asked her world to turn over every weapon it had, how the Empress would ensure their safety, and all that was asked in return was eternal servitude. She was one of the few who rejected and stole her own ship, vowing to do her part to take a stand against the Dynasty and an Empress who was just as evil as the foes she once fought. For a while Miranda and the "In Amber Clad" were in hiding, waiting until they had been forgotten, and given the perfect moment to strike.<br/><br/>No one would have suspected or prepared for a military class vessel to take to piracy, so none but the toughest of ships were ever ready when Miranda came about. She would steal anything and everything she could to keep her vessel going, down to spare nuts and bolts, even at times shangheing the crew to have those able to repair and update her ship. But even then piracy could only pay so many of the bills. And she knew that by raiding everyone she would only make enemies. so she chose to put herself out there for some mercenary business. She would find her best benefactors with the Terran Federation and the unit "Razchak/Rico's Roughnecks." the federation never stopped its war against all things insect. It only escalated it, hunting down any bug out there, whether they be good or evil. They certainly had the ships, weapons, and soldiers needed to do it. So she provided discreet operations, rescuing trapped MI units, assaulting and raiding enemy positions marked for her. In exchange she would get free reign to travel through Fed space so long as she behaved and even got paid.<br/><br/>Her latest mission before being captured by the Dynasty's thugs was pulling a rescue operation for the Roughnecks, in which they thanked her by gifting her  their unit's tattoo (http://ih1.redbubble.net/image.56578057.0909/sticker,220x200-pad,220x200,ffffff.u2.jpg) on her back. So at least now she will always remember the Roughnecks.<br/><br/><strong>Current Situation:</strong>At the moment she is now a prisoner of the Dynasty, awaiting either execution or rescue.<br/><br/><strong>Weapon:</strong>She prefers to stick with what she knows and can handle.<br/><br/>Small Silenced SMG<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://files.bungie.org/odst_assets/huge/Halo3_ODST_w_Silenced-SMG-02.jpg)</div></div><br/>Shotgun.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/7/78/Halo_Reach_Shotgun.png/revision/latest?cb=20101116184036)</div></div><br/><br/>(http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130626062333/halo/images/thumb/0/05/H3-Concept-CmdrMirandaKeyes-01.jpg/500px-H3-Concept-CmdrMirandaKeyes-01.jpg)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Special Powers:</strong><strong>Pilgrim</strong>: Something that Miranda learned when she was traveling with her ship through various worlds, was that she had a power within her. During a short stop from raiding in the Wing Commander universe, she learned of the Pilgrims, people who were naturally atuned in that world with the galaxy around them and almost as at home within space as a fish within water. At first she thought it was all sailor talk, until she honestly took a look at her methods. She didn't navigate or command her ship using complex mathematics or physics....she just knew. Like she had been flying through space since time began, perhaps there was something to this pilgrim stuff.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong><br/><strong>Ship Captain</strong>: Miranda has developed her skills at flying through space, and avoiding Dynasty patrols.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br/>-<strong>Not the Strongest</strong>. While Miranda isn't exactly a pushover, she certainly has trouble matching up to the might of the Dynasty without a ship at her fingertips.<br/><br/>-<strong>Close to home</strong>: With so many various factions and groups, all fighting for power and dominance, it was difficult for Miranda to pick a side. She needed something she could relate to, which has caused her to usually throw her lot in with some Xenophobic groups. The Federation, Cerberus, she may not agree with them 100% of the time, but more so than most other groups.<br/>
