<div class="floatleft">(http://www.pulsarecard.com/data/media/512/Keira_Knightley_0046_1600x1200_Wallpaper.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name</strong>: Cassie Greenway<br/><em>Birth Name</em>: Alexis Cassandra Marissa Davenport Montclair<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 25<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>: Passenger<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Alexis was born on Ariel, her father a wealthy merchant, and her mother a high-society lady.  She had the best money could buy, right from the day she was born: the finest clothes, the best food, the greatest minds in the 'Verse, all at her fingertips because of her father's money.  Even her education was the best money could buy.<br/><br/>On top of that, her father paid for her to have defensive training from a young age.  Her teacher ran her through many weapons, but the ones that fit her the most appropriately for close combat was the 18th Century Scottish dirk, and the 14th Century French rapier.  She picked up the skills to properly defend herself with these weapons rather quickly, even though no other weapon seemed at home in her hands.<br/><br/>Also a product of her father's influence was her interest in other archaic weapons, and their more modern equivalents.  The most intriguing to her was the crossbow, a weapon that could punch through even some of the wall construction nowadays.  So her father went out, and bought her one, and helped her learn how to operate, maintain, and care for it.<br/><br/>However, the problems started when her father began setting up an arranged marriage for her, in an attempt at a power grab.  The prospective husband was aware of what was going on, and when Alexis mentioned it, he said that if that was what it took for him to get a wife, it was a price he was willing to pay.  When she attempted to change his mind, convince him that he shouldn't be so willing to give up his business... well, the result left her with a black eye, a busted lip, and a dislocated shoulder.<br/><br/>Alexis, of course, wanted none of it.  As soon as she managed to heal up from the beating - which her father didn't believe was caused by what she said, claiming the irreproachable reputation of her hustband-to-be - she cleaned out the account she had been given by her father, and fled the planet.  She bought passage as soon as she could on the first ship that would take her, after buying new clothes that weren't high-society-best-money-could-buy, and left, never looking back.<br/><br/>For a time, to make ends meet, she ran with a crew that did some less than honest things, but that were able to make use of her skills, and allowed her to pick up a few others.  With that crew, she stole, she killed people, and she learned how to duck Alliance patrols, not to mention the people her father continually hired to bring her back to Ariel for her to take her place in the arranged marriage.<br/><br/>About a month ago, Alexis, now going by Cassie Greenway, and the rest of her crew signed on to a job to steal an antique showpiece from another high-and-mighty moneyman.  Unfortunately, the job was a setup, and the target had security waiting on them.  Cassie was the only one that made it out, and only because she had stayed with the runner they were using, and had hightailed it as soon as armed guards started pouring out the doors the rest of her crew had gone in.<br/><br/>Now, she's looking for a way off this rock, and a new crew to sign on with, even if it's just long enough to get to another planet.  She's willing to endure any insult, any drudgery - almost - to get off the planet before the guards can piece together a clear enough description of her face to find her.  She doesn't have much, just a few grand that was her share of the prepayment on the last job, but she's willing to drop every last penny of it on a ticket out of here and another chance at making a new life.<br/><br/>At this point, going back is hardly an option, and Cassie knows it.  If she's caught at this late of a juncture, she knows that her father will see to it - through his sizable wealth and contact network - that she is never able to escape again, and she'll be forced to live out a life of drudgery and misery, married to a man she has absolutely no feelings for.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Headstrong, stubborn, and cautious, Cassie seems like a contradiction in personalities.  But while her stubborn ways will keep her from backing down or giving up on something, her attention to detail may cause a significant time lapse before the stubbornness kicks in.<br/><br/>She doesn't trust easily, not anymore.  Since her last team got massacred on a job, she isn't sure how that happened.  But she blames one of the other crew members, because she's certain she said nothing that could have caused the trap they walked into.<br/><br/>Currently, Cassie is quite subdued and quiet, due to a slight twinge of guilt over not even bothering to check on the rest of her team, and disgust with herself for letting her survival instinct override her loyalty.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> player information</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Scenes I’d like to see my character participate in:</strong><br/>I'm open for pretty much anything.  Bear in mind, any force is going to be met with force right back, as Cass doesn't take well to being told what to do.  Course, if you're strong enough to control her, more power to you.<br/><br/><strong>Are you familiar with the works of Shan’Yu?</strong><br/>As far as I'm concerned, if you're strong enough to manage it, go for it.  Just be aware she will demand a safe word, or she will fight you the whole way.  She doesn't like being forced into things.  Me personally, I'm fine with it, but it's the character personality.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> attributes and skills</div><div class="spoiler_body"><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Physical</strong></td><td><strong>Social</strong></td><td><strong>Mental</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Strength 2</td><td>Presence 2</td><td>Knowledge 2</td></tr><tr><td>Dexterity 4</td><td>Manipulation 2</td><td>Wits 3</td></tr><tr><td>Stamina 2</td><td>Composure 2</td><td>Perception 4</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Melee 2  Archery 3  Dodge 2<br/>Alertness 2  Drive 3<br/>Subterfuge 3  Etiquette 2 Athletics 2<br/>Survival 3  Petty Crime 3</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">possessions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Light Crossbow w/20 quarrels<br/>Rapier<br/>Combat knife<br/>Simple clothes<br/>Photo frame, cycling photos, all of her with her mother, and one of her at a funeral.</div></div>
