Her career looked very promising until during a training mission she flew wing of fighters across the bow of a nearby cruiser.  Her flight path was too dangerously close to the cruiser and three of her wingmen crashed into the cruisers bridge causing extensive damage and killing scores of personnel.<br/><br/>In stead of risk another chance at prison, Mya escaped in her fighter and made for a nearby planet with a known pirate population.  For the better part of a year Mya spent time building all sorts of equipment, a chance to make money while flying cargo missions for black market vendors.  She signed on with Reilly's Rebels after a delivery from a client brought her on board the ship and she decided to stay.<br/><br/>Mya is cocky and boisterous by nature driving her demeanor which is well earned however, being a naturally gifted pilot and having an eidetic memory has given Jovi reason to believe that she reallu IS THAT GOOD..<br/><br/>Mya looks young and uses that as an advantage despite her extensive experience. Her hair will generally change color on a moments notice and is usually a bright shade of some color.  She takes good care of her body, knowing how space flight affects it and knowing she may have to use it at any time.  She can usually be found around the ship in a pair of butt short green fatigue shorts and a tanktop or tube top.  Her thigh high socks and knee high boots are relics of her navy days that she hasn't been able to throw away.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Equipment and Skills</strong></span><br/><br/>Mya can pilot anything.  Once she's in the cockpit, she intuitively knows how to work it as if she's piloted it her whole life.<br/>While she is terrible at hand to hand, but has been known to use a sword or blade on occasion and is generally decent. She prefers the use of robot suits or mechanized weapons she may have tinkered with over the years.<br/><br/><em>+Mk II J-suit (with integrated AEGIS system</em>Built by Jinny to accentuate Mya's skill in the cockpit, allowing a direct cerebral link to the ships flight controls, giving Mya the ability actually fly with her thoughts.<br/><br/><em>+ Charybdis Blockade Runner (http://s77.photobucket.com/user/wulfjaeger/media/Hover_Racer_Thingy_by_flyingdebris_zps06160e90.jpg.html) Mya's personal creation, pulled together from scrap metal and parts she salvaged during her year on the pirate moon.  The Charybdis is faster than most ships her size and is maneuverable enough to evade most automated weapons systems.  She's broken through many Naval blockades.  An specialized inverted current can be routed through the skin of the ship creating a disturbance around the Charybdis that makes it near invisible in space.</em>
