[hider=Lithalia Blissponis] [b]Name:[/b] Lithalia Blissponis [b]Age: [/b]27 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] Lithalia is an obese young woman, with a large stomach and a heavy form. She has soft arms and legs, with a double-chin creeping below her face. She has dark lips which conceal glistening white teeth, and emerald green eyes shimmer on either side of her stout nose. An explosion of coal black hair cascades down her shoulders, falling in a sort of elegant yet messy bunch of tangles. Her cheeks are rosy and puffy, and she is reasonably large-breasted. She has a relaxed and casual stance, with sloped shoulders and a slightly curved spine. Her body is adorned with different piercings, most notably in her lip, nose, and ears, and the insignia of the Blissponis Crime Syndicate is tattooed on her left arm. Lithalia dresses in a fairly stylish manner, garbing herself in clothes which most would consider to be above her station. Appearance is important to her, and she takes heavy strides to make sure that she always looks well-groomed and presentable. [b]Personality:[/b] Lithalia is a shady, larger-than-life swindler, with a wicked grin on her lips and a mischievous gleam in her eye. She has built her life upon supply and demand, and has a knack for fishing out the profit in any situation. Outwardly, she may sometimes emit kindness, but her twisted personality holds a much more dark and barbaric side, which rears its ugly head when the situation demands it, or when she’s simply having a bad day. The young woman panders to social norms, and knows how to weed her way into most conversations, and how to play her opponents. She has little regard for life, human or otherwise, and her main concern is asserting herself as a powerful figure, through illegal means or otherwise. [b]History:[/b] Lithalia was born into a merchant family in the cluttered halls of Port Wander (the last bastion of the Golden Throne’s rule in the Koronus Expanse) living out a fairly sheltered childhood. Amidst the almost lawless expanse of the station, crime and underhand tactics were ripe, and most merchants dabbled in skulduggery and unlawful practices, with the Blissponis family being no exception. The Imperial reserves stationed at Port Wander were usually there as punishment for dishonourable acts, and as such this marked the end of progression in their military careers; making them bitter, resentful, and easy to manipulate. Growing rich off of extorting asteroids of their precious minerals, the Blissponis family existed within the upper-crust of Port Wander society, utilising disgruntled guardsmen to enforce protection rackets throughout the space station, and keep their competitors from ever becoming too powerful. Branching out into smuggling, the family shipped Obscura and other narcotics in through the great piers, occasionally dabbling in Xenos technology if the buyers paid enough. On the verges of establishing an independent trading cartel, the Blissponis’ operations soon collapsed under their own weight, and became overrun with untrustworthy thugs and shady characters, to the point that the organization simply dissolved into Port Wander’s underworld. Lacking their previous funds but addicted to a lifestyle of excessive luxury, Lithalia’s father sank into a deep depression, becoming addicted to the Obscura he had once smuggled, before falling even further into darkness once its effects had worn off. The all-consuming despair soon whisked away her father’s life, and he was found with a suicide-induced gun wound in his head, lying bloodied in their cramped little apartment. Her mother followed suite, and the young girl was left to fend for herself. Lithalia became a gun runner, finding work down in the docks that her family had once used to smuggle their wares, keeping herself in the good books of Port Wander’s major players. The young woman established herself as a reliable and trustworthy smuggler, and her business profited because of this. While she by no means returned to the life of immense splendour she had grown used to, her new wealth was a grand step up from the near povertous conditions she had been teetering on. Becoming further intertwined with the black market, Lithalia started to draw cautious eyes from the station’s most vicious gangsters, which she took as leave to seek out her fortune elsewhere. Fleeing to out into the deep expanse of space, the last of the Blissponi spent some time hopping from place-to-place, finding new jobs wherever she could. Whereas her parents had ultimately broken in the face of adversity, Lithalia persevered, and worked day and night to carve out a new life for herself in the grim darkness of the 41st Millenium. [b]Skills:[/b] Lithalia understands people, and is able to get inside their heads and manipulate them. While not a fighter in the physical sense, her cool charisma and deceptively welcoming demeanour are truly forces to be reckoned with, and her uniquely deductive brain gives her an unseen advantage in tense life-or-death situations. Having spent some time on the rough streets of Port Wander, Lithalia has a basic understanding of close-quarters combat, although her unfit state makes this almost completely useless. She has a keen eye, and is a decent shot with her scoped laspistol. [b]Equipment:[/b] -Monomolecular knife -Scoped Laspistol [b]Miscellaneous:[/b] N/A [/hider]
