Description

(As of 25.03.2011)

She stands about 6 feet in height, 1.82 meters, with medium long dirty blonde hair that is cut in such a way as to not fall into her blue eyes, while the strains that could fall into her face are tucked up behind the string that keeps a pair of simple welding goggles up on her forehead. Her build is very slender with almost no trace of unnecessary fat on her body. She almost looks skinny. Fortunately is her her skin is colored in a deep tan and muscles are just barely rippling underneath. Still she doesn't seems to weigh more than about 75 Kg, most probably less. She is wearing a white and green camouflage tank top, which has taken on a more brown and green shade over the time. Her bared arms are slender, almost feminine if it weren't for the many tiny silvery scars that cover both of her arms.

Her belly is quite flat and one can almost make out the muscles below it thanks to the tight fitting top. Her long legs are covered by a pair of wide pants with dozens of pockets, that are held up and together by a brown leather belt. The pants, which seem to have originally been green some time ago, are now more of a tone of dirty brown with washed out green somewhere in between. Finally are her feet clad in a pair of sturdy and heavy boots, that fit surprisingly well, and into which the lower end of the pants are tucked in.

History

Born on Regina to a Prostitute was Nathalie given soon to her father, as her mother didn't want to keep her. Her father, a miner, didn't make enough money to feed himself and her properly, while also spending the rest of the money on booze and prostitutes. Yet they made it for years until Nathalie was old enough to walk, that was when she had to get food herself just like the other kids.Hunting rats for a living was easy business, there were enough of the beasts and they were sometimes quite fat.

However, in each life comes a time when the childhood has to be tossed aside and one has to face the uncertain grim future. That time came upon Nathalie as well, just like the rest of the kids, as she was eventually old enough to finally work in the mines. It was more dangerous work, but it paid better. A tiny bit. Unless you had to rent the mining equipment, which everyone had to. Before the mining work was the life of Nathalie filled with the bright sun and the muddy streets of the planet, but now she was plunged into the darkness of the Mines, surrounded by the shrill workings of machines, cursing miners and the sound of rocks hitting other rocks.

In this darkness was she she almost killed the first time in her life, a machine accident almost gutted her and she barely survived. After this incident she was not deemed healthy enough to work in the mines anymore, as she couldn't hold the mining equipment as well as before and the recovery time was to long. So her pay was cut, fortunately for her had she already saved enough money to buy herself off passage from her homeplanet and try her luck somewhere else.

And so she left her home, her planet, her father, the mud, her friends and the darkness of the mines behind, to travel into the dark void of the 'verse to see where she would end up.

She gestured to the knife and the pillow.

"Your call on which one I use to kill you," she said.


So many body parts, so few bullets. Let's begin with the kneecaps. No fun dancing without them.

Of course, a psychologist might say that my reluctance to rely on the Governmental Forces stemmed from a deep seated distrust in people of authority. But since I have yet to meet a psychologist who sees mild paranoia as a survival mechanism rather than a problem, who cares what they think?
