Amelia Dawn Helling is a woman of many talents, possibly too many to readily count. She's done a lot in her life in just a short amount of time. Though she may not have an explicit specialization or profession, and this creates a sort of instability in her life, there's always a dire need of a Jane of All Trades. Nowadays business is booming.

Background History

NOTE: This area is a work in progress and subject to sudden overhauls and changes.

Physical Features

This woman stands just under six feet with a toned physique. She probably weighs in the range of a hundred thirty pounds. She's in her late twenties, early thirties. Her brown skin is smooth and unblemished. She has a large bust line and trim waist, backside curved and shoulders broad; her figure decisively feminine with an Amazonian build. Her limbs are long and well-toned, body tightly muscled. She has very light brown irises and healthy black hair. It is currently tied back into a French braid, but she is known to wear it at different lengths and in different styles. Her face is slender with a straight, broad-tipped nose and full lips and slim jaw, completed by high cheekbones and a strong chin with a slight overbite. She wears light, rosy makeup and darkening eye shadow.

NOTE: Amelia's clothing changes per scene per mood. If you would like to see what she currently wears, simply look at her ICly.

Personality Quirks

At her center she is a good-natured and wholesome individual, and so Amelia values human life and acts in a near-completely altruistic nature. She helps those in need if they require or request it, and is not above doing it when she deems it necessary and they refuse. She tries not to kill and take life unless absolutely necessary. However, the 'Verse is a harsh one and she is guarded by caution, sharp instincts into human behavior, and a strong willpower to survive anything that life throws at her. She's a survivalist and though personable, down to earth, and otherwise extroverted there are times where she is emotionally distant and closed off, even absolutely dangerous. Still, she believes herself a good person no matter the conflict that transpires.

Amelia commonly fluctuates between the alignments of neutral good and chaotic good. Her favorite color is blue, because of a love of the sky and all that it can symbolize; for example, freedom. She also likes pets, birds and cats specifically. Given the choice, Amelia prefers a strong oolong tea over any other drink. She is constantly found with wooden prayer beads, hailing to a religious background of Mahayana Buddhism. Claiming to be from the Dyton Colonies, she speaks with the equivalent of an East End, London accent. It's thick and her lexicon is filled with a plethora of slang and informal phrases.

Miscellaneous

Blue Nirvana, The

Amelia personally owns the Blue Nirvana, a decommissioned Hummingbird-class Starfighter. It has been rumored to have been owned by a high-brow Alliance Naval officer before being auctioned off to Rodney Kilbride who named it the Red Moppet. It then landed into Amelia's lap upon purchasing it from the man for eighty thousand credits early April of 2528. It came modified while Amelia with the help of Antoinette Schieffer of Jiangyin has spent even more credits in turning it into a tougher ship, giving it a greater armament and stronger armor and shielding as well as heightened security measures to say the least. To say the most, all of its internals have been replaced with state of the art equipment. The bulk of the superficial modifications were completed in the middle of July, 2528. It has been known to function on its own with a personalized, portable artificial intelligence installed named Kimberly.

The Blue Nirvana's current estimated value is well over one hundred fifty thousand credits.

Captain's Retreat, The

One of the most famous bars on Persephone and Newhall, the Captain's Retreat and its twin the Beach Retreat is under the ownership of Amelia Helling after purchasing it a few years back in September of 2529. The establishments are known for their exotic drinks, good eats, and catering to nearly anyone so long as nonviolence within isn't an issue. A variety of small, local events are hosted at the establishments daily and weekly like happy hours and sports or fight nights.

Eavesdown Digs - Apartment 8A

Rented out years ago by Amelia when initially joining the Bounty Hunter's Guild, while on Persephone she can usually be reached at this permanent address. She has lived there long enough to see the slums and grime of Eavesdown area be shifted by Alliance renovation into cheap housing that has steadily been declining since the Alliance's withdrawal of Persephone itself. The apartment is maintained by a middle-aged man named Nicholas Coxwell when she is out of the city or off-planet. It functions as a safe-house as well when trouble brews.

Helling, The

Bars and other alcohol-selling establishments across the Rim and Border, and a few in the Core worlds, have been known to sell a drink called the Helling. Accounts vary from bar to bar, arguing over the small details, but the account that is best known is obviously from the woman it is named after. This popular drink was born when on Alexandria a small group, including Amelia, were gathered in a bar. They were accosted by a group of off-duty Alliance officers in port. When on-duty officers came to arrest the group rather than the off-duty buddies, a fight started and Amelia wound up beating both groups into submission. Charges against her were later dropped over the fiasco. The recipe has regional variations as well, but consists primarily of two parts overproofed rum and one part whiskey with a splash of fruit juice. It's then lit and generally served in a highball or shot without garnish and on the rocks.

Isis, Senior Hunter

Isis is a Baikalan Husky, a hearty and long-living breed of dog from the Baikal area on Saint Albans. She's a medium sized dog and fairly built, proportioned like her ancestors the Earth-That-Was Siberian Husky. She has an all-white coat and blue eyes. Her collar lists her name as Senior Hunter Isis. She is trained for security enforcement as well as search and rescue work. As a bounty hunter, Amelia enjoys taking Isis on her hunts and during official business matters. As a companion, Isis is Amelia's best friend and they work in tandem rather well when both on and off duty.
