<br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Name: </strong> Eliza "ED" Dawson<br/><strong>Age: </strong> 18<br/><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Pretty much asexual - but she'll do almost anything if the price is right, not just sexually<br/><strong>Place of Birth:</strong> Born on the Pandemonium - a battle ship of the Alliance. Born in space, raised in space, likely to die in space.<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong> Combatant: melee, primitive ranged weapons, small arms, tactical boarding weaponry, <em>shipboard weapons as a speciality</em><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Combat, clear rules (which she may or may not circumvent), earning money, excitement and danger, space<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Being onworld, emotional displays especially in front of others, attachments<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong> Standing five foot ten, and well-toned, ED is a quite imposing figure. Her attitude makes her even more so. She likes to wear tank tops etc that can accentuate her form, but this is not because she finds it sexy, rather because it can give her an edge in a fist fight against men. She wears sunglasses, long pants, and wears her long, striaght brown hair tied in a pony tail to keep it away from her face. She usually wears a combat blade at her belt and carries a gun whenever she can. Her body language merely adds to the attitude that she displays, stating without her needing to voice it that she does not intend to take crap from God. Standing or sitting, she keeps herself ready to strike at the slightest need.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> ED has an extremely, almost offensively, mercenary attitude to life. The only thing that seems to matter to her most of the time is money. She shows very few emotions and seems to respect few people who do not show their willingness to fight hard for what they want. She has no current serious attachments and finds herself with her current crew simply for the money. She is asexual and unromantic with no interest in affection. Underneath all that, ED is a scared little girl who saw from an early age that the lives of those she loves could be quickly and randomly snuffed out. Losing both her parents in combat had a devastating effect on her and now she is terrified to open her heart to anyone.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> </div>ED (pronounced either like the male name or the initials) was born to alliance parents on a battle ship that was destroyed during combat. Her mother escaped with her and managed to find a birth on another battle cruiser. Since the she has largely been raised in space and hates setting foot on solid ground. Her mother too was lost in combat, but ED was never seen to grieve for either parent. Indeed it is rare to think of a time when ED has shown emotions except, maybe, anger. She does not let herself get attached to anyone and maintains an almost offensively mercenary attitude to life. She has no love of weakness and no respect for those who will not fight their own battles. That said when someone wins her over they have a friend who will lay their life on the line for them. Currently she has no such friends. She has trained herself to be as good a combatant in all ways as she possibly can be and constantly looks for opportunities to prove herself and improve herself.
