Traits: [ambitious, dedicated, and active | impatient, stubborn, and evasive ]
Description: Ryker always liked the small details of things. When he was little he would paint models, or draw intricate maps. He always was the follower, not the leader. He made excuses for his mistakes, or never admitted to them.

History
Ryker grew up with his father and two other brothers. His mother had died a year after he was born to an infection. They were poor, and couldn’t afford to go to the doctor, so when they finally had to, it was too late. By the time he was eight, he was working in various shops, making money for himself, since his father’s earnings went to food, clothes, and shelter. If he wanted something, he had to work for it. He didn’t think much of it, in his mind, it was normal. His father wasn’t absent, but he wasn’t fully there either, he wasn’t a paternal figure. He and his brothers had to rely on each other for that. He was really close to his brother Mitch, who was the middle child. His oldest brother, Deek, was always working with their father. Though, he wasn’t as distinct as their father. They all shared a room, so they were close growing up. Schooling was never a top priority, but once he got older, he obtained an entry level education. Then, he went to school to become a navigator. He had some friends, but from where he was from, they were more like allies, rather than someone you would have a close personal relationship with. Once he completed his training, he was looking for his first job.

Description: Careful and systematic, Makayla [Thomasin] likes to see things completed and in perfect working condition. Her strong disapproval towards sloppy technique and annoyances usually yield an annoyed and frantic reaction, desiring nothing but to put things back in order. Her intelligence and determined nature doesn't help the fact that she sees a good majority of her peers as bumbling idiots and that if things need fixing, they are to be done her way and her way only.

History
Thomasin isn't fond of her family. Born on a wealthy estate to an aristocratic family, Thomasin was destined to run the family's armaments empire along with her two older brothers. She was privately tutored, learning much in the field of the sciences as well as finance, business and economics. She thrived in problem-solving skills, passing her brother's cognitive abilities faster than anyone expected. Even at a young age, her father and his colleagues were considering not only making her a partner of the industry but the matriarch of it, enjoying privileges far more than what her brothers could ever achieve.

There was one fatal flaw in her character. Thomasin, a prodigy, lacked social understanding. Not because she was too shy or modest, quite the contrary, Thomasin openly exhibited disdain and distrust to others because she knew that she was far better than any of them. She'd soon scowl and criticize her father's partners for their business failings. She'd scoff at the inefficient manufacturing techniques when she visited the factories. She'd ramble on about how the world was wrong and that she, if given the opportunity, would fix it in the most effective and efficient way. And she was probably right, but her social standing had fallen far. She had made enemies with very powerful people and her brothers were going to lead her downfall.

On the dawn of her eighteenth birthday, Thomasin awoke to a contract by her bedside table. Expecting it to be the contract that would hand over her share of the family business, she passed it on to the family lawyer for a quick check before signing it, unknowingly signing her share over to her brothers and ending her run in the business. When she found out, she tore her house apart, breaking priceless vases and destroying furniture and paintings. Her father not having the patience to house her any further told her to pack up and leave. She left, cursing at the family who she had lived with for the whole of her life.

Free but penniless and without an endgame, Thomasin traveled to a neighboring country to restart living under the alias, Ashley Corrigan. She rented a small apartment and began operations from there, earning money in exchange for tutoring children and working in a factory. She climbed the ranks and reached chief of production of a rival firm in a matter of years, slowly eroding her family's profits for her own personal joy.

It was only a matter of time before her family sent out private investigators, and soon, assassins. A bomb plot under her car left her paralyzed and needing surgical implants to the spine and cranium. She quickly recovered with the help of experimental cybernetics but soon realized that she has a large bounty on her head. Changing her identity for a second time to Makayla Williams, she found a recruitment ad for an off-world ship and promptly applied for a technician role. Before she knew it, she was in deep space fixing burnt-out circuit boards and old pipes. Finally, she was maybe, hopefully, safe and at peace.

Extra

Inventory: Small tool belt, Mechanics manual, Spare wires, Pocket knife, Mechanical watch (useless in space but she likes to disassemble/reassemble the moving parts), Flashlight, some iron rust for thermite reactions. Any other standardized crew kit.
