Name: Aeryn Dex Ship Applying For: Age: Unknown for sure. Estimated to be late 30s. Early 40s would be a bit of a stretch, but not impossible. Appearance: Aeryn stands at 5 ft 8. She is slender and toned, and has a slightly curvaceous build. Though she doesn't look it, she is quite strong - stronger than most women her size. She has dark brown hair, gold-brown eyes, and full lips. She is generally seen in clothing that is both classy and sexy. Image: Rhona Mitra ![]() Attributes and Skills: Aeryn's primary skill set involves electronics. Computer programming, hacking, and electronic security as well as wiring, soldering, and other similar things. She knows some hand to hand combat, though she's unfamiliar with weapons outside of a wooden staff and archery. As a secondary skill set, she is rather familiar with poisons. It wasn't something that she was formally or officially trained in. That was more of a hobby, though she did get some off the record training from knowledgeable individuals on the matter. First Impression: When first meeting her, Aeryn she generally comes off as a cold-hearted Ice Maiden. She's a little bitchy and snarky, and generally not someone you want to mess with. She doesn't come off as being the violent sort, but there is still something about her that tells people not to cross her. There are exceptions to the rule where she's friendly and welcoming right off the bat - but such instances are few and far between. Under the Surface: If you can win your way past Aeryn's pricky exterior, she can be warm and jovial. She's loyal to those she considers friends, though not blindly so. If you piss her off, she can be extremely vengeful and vicious. Only a few people have made the mistake of crossing her. Deep Dark Self: Aeryn is a scared little girl. A big part of her life is missing, and she doesn't know why. That scares her, though she'd never admit to being afraid of anything - ever. She also feels like there's something missing in her life, but she can't figure out what. Public / Common History: Aeryn has worked publicly for Blue Sun since her early 20s. The official history is that she was one of the top students in her class at a private academy, and Blue Sun recruited her directly from there. Other than that, not much is known about her. A few years ago, she started dating someone in management by the name of Benjamin Topher. He was recently killed in the Cabaret Royale. Benjamin asked her to marry him on several occasions, but each time she made the condition that he had to give up whores. He backed down every time. Aeryn surprisingly didn't say anything about the whores to him, and they never fought over it. Instead, she found some male whores for herself. Fair play, and all that. For all their sleeping around with other people though, they did keep coming back to each other. Aeryn did have genuine feelings for him, and if it wasn't love it was something close to it. The affection she had for Benjamin was one of the few genuine emotions she had. She now wants revenge for his death, and is on a personal quest of sorts to find out who was responsible and get rid of them. Unknown History: Aeryn doesn't recall anything of her past before the age of nineteen. Her true age, her birth name, where she grew up - nothing. It's a total blank for her. She woke up in a medical facility surrounded by doctors and hooked up to various machines. They told her she had been in a car crash, and had taken a head injury. She had been in a coma for five years as a result. A new identity was forged for her, and she was given countless lessons about the 'Verse. She was taught a trade, and was hired on by Blue Sun a few years later. Secret History: Aeryn and her older brother were born on Ezra. Their parents died while she was still in infancy. For years he looked after her as they moved from place to place. How they managed to keep from being separated in that time is unknown. When they were in their mid teens, her brother went out to get food for them while Aeryn stayed in the abandoned and condemned building they had been living in. He was missing for two days before Aeryn finally decided to go in search of him. She didn't think he had abandoned her to strike out on his own, but she did know something wasn't right. Before she could do anything about it, masked individuals broke into the building Aeryn was still hiding out in. She fought like hell, and managed to injure one of the men. In the process, she knocked over one of the key support beams, bringing down half the building. She was hit in the head with a piece of rubble as she was being carried out. Two of the men who'd come to take her died in the collapse. The doctors surrounding Aeryn when she woke had been keeping her sedated and comatose for the entire time since. They went into her mind and cut and rewired things so all her previous memories were repressed, a lengthy, tedious, and delicate process. They left linguistic skills and motor functions, and knowledge of basic things like how to flush a toilet or open a door. Her personal memories though - such as where she was born, and the fact she has a brother - were gone. In their place, they did a little rewiring to make her learn things at a faster rate than most people - especially technological things. A good part of her emotional capability has also been strongly suppressed, though nowhere near the extent of her memories. She feels little and cares about little but her work. Though a few genuine ones leak out from time to time, Aeryn's emotions are largely blocked by whatever was done to her in the medical facility. Strengths: Anything involving computers and electronics, Aeryn is near genius level. Not quite but close. She is largely self-taught in the area of poisons, but no less knowledgeable for all that. She learns new skills remarkably fast, especially when she exerts an effort to do so. What would take most people weeks she can learn in days. What takes most people days, she can learn in hours. She is highly intelligent and strong-willed. Aeryn is not one to be easily manipulated for the most part - minus one key weakness. Weaknesses: While Aeryn is reasonably skilled in hand to hand combat and with staves, she is only average at it. It is mostly a means of staying in shape for her, rather than anything else. She is unfamiliar with firearms or blades fighting. Cooking and piloting she could learn if she wanted to, but has had no reason to learn such skills. Anything of that nature has been done for her as far back as she can remember. Her medical knowledge is also fairly sparse. She's not totally ignorant on such things, but her knowledge doesn't go past basic first aid/common sense level. Since the first nineteen years of her life are a total blank to her, someone with knowledge of that amnesia could potentially use that against her in some fashion.
