<strong>Name:</strong>Lynea Stern<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>mid 30's (possibly 35?)<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><br/><strong>Crew Role:</strong>Captain<br/><br/><strong>Appearances:</strong>Tall, about 5'9" in height with a decent athletic build of someone who came from military. She let her blonde hair grow out to almost shoulder length and are complimented with nice blue eyes. While Lynea is attractive, she isn't going win any Core World pageants. If one looks close enough or are a medical professional, they could probably see the almost invisible surgical scars that suggest likely extensive cosmetic surgery.<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong>While Lynea doesn't talk much about her history, there's been enough hints and familiarity to certain skills that suggest Lynea's childhood was on a ranch somewhere on Hera. Her childhood was a happy one, at the very least she never made it much complaints about it. When the unification war came, a 24 year old Lynea joined the war on the side of the Independents. Despite this popular choice among the outer worlds, this seemed to turn the relationship with her family sour. The details about her involvement in the war are sketchy and like most veterans, the captain rarely speaks up about those times. However, with 23rd Militia, Lynea saw and fought through the war from beginning to end, including the Battle of Serenity Valley. In the last battle, the entire 23rd Militia was wiped out, just another statistic in the 700,000 lost.<br/><br/>Since then, Lynea had to work from the ground up in earning enough money to buy a ship, but ended just stealing one from a group of bandits. Feeling no connection or longing for the New 'verse that had started to form.  Recruitment to fill in the crew requirements had been rough and strange to say the least, but she wouldn't trade what she has now for any amount of credit offered.<br/><br/>She's more than capable of taking care of herself and is generally a good leader/Captain when she needs to be. A little introverted, Lynea has enough social skills to get along with her crew and find jobs. Snark does tend to pour out of her mouth when under abundance of fear, getting her into more trouble than she already was on occasion. While isn't one to wear dresses, this doesn't mean she won't or she isn't feminine. It's just substantially subdued and would only come out for the right situation or person.<br/><br/>[OOC: If anyone could find a picture of a fairly attractive but not super-model blonde,  I'd be more than thankful.]
