Once you've been given the green light, post your character bio here!
Name: Wilhelmina (Wil) Quietpeddle
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Race: Half-ling half-human (ha! made a halfling!)
Job: Primarily a smuggler, but with talents in the areas of entry and retrieval of goods as well.
Appearance: Short even by Ling standards, Wil stands at barely 4ft. She is thin and wiry, with dusky skin, close-cropped black hair and eyes that are a very dark brown, with goldish flecks. She is thin to the point of being gaunt, and her skin is more scarred than not. Of particular note are some tracks running up the inside of her arms.
Wears: Wil frequently wears tight-fitting, long sleeved garments, all the better to conceal the multitude of scars that decorate her body. Most of the clothing she owns is tattered and threadbare, and generally quite childish, because she tends to rummage for cast-off children’s clothing due to them fitting her adequately. Over her clothes she wears a black leather jacket with the sleeves cut back so she can use her hands, a pair of threadbare, black fingerless gloves, and a mismatched pair of boots.
Weapons: Wil’s weapon of choice is a switchblade she filched from a mob enforcer when he wasn’t looking. It is titanium, the handle walnut inlaid with silver, excellently weighted for throwing, and extremely durable and sharp.
Ship: Wil runs a hotted-up, cobbled-together Geraldy light freighter, equipped with an ancient (but still somehow functioning) Ohmsford interdrive, Kytiar afterburners held together with flashtak and prayers, an ancient Prekkandoran shield generator, and packing two lasers, a pair of IMREC, one Stardust and one Omega missile. Her ship’s name is Zephyr, and she frequently boasts that it is the fastest ship in the galaxy.
Skills: Wil is a skilled pilot and mechanic, and an uncommonly able thief. She has practised stealth, lockpicking, codebreaking and sleight of hand since childhood and these skills are a second nature to her.
Personality: Wil is paranoid and suspicious of pretty much everyone, having few trusted associates in the galaxy. Her mistrustful nature makes it difficult for her to earn other’s trust as well, as she often comes across as having something to hide, and of not being entirely truthful. She has a strongly addictive personality and mild psychotic tendencies, and her loyalties shift according to the dictates of her pragmatic nature, and she makes it quite obvious that she prefers a solitary existence. She disdains accepting help from others, and makes it clear that she couldn’t care less what others think of her.
background: Wil was born on the streets of Regulus; her mother was Ling, and she never knew her father beyond what her mother told her – he was a human, a member of the CWU, who had forcibly taken his pleasure with her, a union that resulted in Wil’s birth. Her mother was sickly and weak, a condition Wil inherited, and she died when Wil was still a child. Wil turned to drugs while she was still quite young, and has probably tried everything that’s out there to try. By the time she was 12, Wil was one of the most accomplished thieves on the streets of Regulus; by 15, she had stolen Zephyr from a police impound, and by 18, she was a smuggler of no small notoriety. She has some sympathy for the Rim Underground, and will often do jobs for them at a lower than usual price – however, she’ll work for the CWU, too, if the coin is good. She’s currently undertaken a highly lucrative extraction contract for the RU, requiring her to travel to Paxor Prime.
