NAME: Gael Molloy

AGE: 17

PROFESSION: Privateer

RACE AND/OR UNIQUE PHYSICAL TRAITS: Human as human can be

BRIEF PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND/OR PICTURE:(X) Gael is rather normal. She is 5'6" and has an average body type. She is slightly muscular, but that comes from hefting goods which certain individuals were kind enough to donate, though they were often encouraged by the barrel of a gun in their face. She has pale brown eyes and sandy hair that she likes to keep tied up, lest it get in the way.

BACKSTORY: Gael grew up, with her brother and parents, in one of the larger Sky Ports in the empire. They were by no means poor, but they weren't rubbing elbows with the higher- ups either. She gets along very well with her older brother Mike, better than one would think the average siblings do. But due to the large age gap, Gael was only 3 when her brother was old enough to join the navy. Left with no one to play with, she started conversing with the people that would come and go in the port. She loved listening to the stories they would tell, and she especially loved listening to the sailors, who would speak of far-off places and valuable treasures.

As soon as she was old enough, Gael got a job at a tavern in the port to make a little more money for her family. She would often listen to the tall-tales the sailors and captains would tell. Sometimes, when given the chance, she would retell these tales to other travelers, which would occasionally earn her a tip.

These stories helped quench her thirst for adventure, since she didn't have the money or even the time to do such things, let alone the fact that "adventuring" is generally considered inappropriate for a young lady of any status.

She was working when a telegram was delivered, saying that her house had caught fire, and that her parent hadn't been able to escape the flames. The news devastated her. As soon as she was able, she wrote her brother, telling him of the tragedy, and had the letter sent off to be delivered as quickly as possible. Though the loss of her parents had greatly upset her, she quickly returned to work in an effort to keep her mind occupied.

When Mike arrived, Gael was filled with joy. She finally got to see the brother that she had been writing to for so many years. For a time, they lived in a small (but still nice) abode. Soon though, Mike began to get restless, and offered the idea that they should buy an airship and travel like Gael had always wanted. They found an airship, got a small crew together, and set off to explore the territory of the vast skies.

PERSONALITY: Gael is sociable and charismatic. She also has a taste for mischief, which often leads to her getting into a sticky situation. She does this though, with the confidence that she can get herself out, and if that doesn't work, she can rely on her older brother to help. When she gets excited, though, she can become a little too confident, and this can come off as her being cocky.
