[color=silver][b]History:[/b][/color] Saigyo's ancestors hail from Earth's Japan, and she was named as such. Her parents were nice enough to her- they didn't do anything particularly wrong, but they had many children and even their own parents to take care of and thus she often competed with her siblings for attention. Saigyo found the farm life in her small agricultural town on Mars boring. The work on the farm had made her strong and itching for excitement. She left her home at the age of 17 and set out to make something of herself- or at least do something fun.

Crime found her- money was tight and the work gave her a rush. Basic stuff- things like courier work, dead drops. She wasn't really sure what she was doing, but it was fun to avoid the authorities and be sneaky. She learned to shoot a gun- though thankfully she never had to use it. Eventually, she wanted to move on to the next thing. Miners in the asteroid belt extracted rare gems and minerals, and they were always looking for help. It was dangerous, exciting, and paid well. For just under a decade she worked amongst the floating rocks, finding, transporting, and protecting precious stones and minerals. Platinum was in large supply there- as useful as it was rare on Earth and Mars. Navigating a ship became her specialty, and served under a single captain for most of her career. They were attacked by pirates more than once, and navigating the dangerous fields while escaping from missile fire was some of the most fun she ever had in her life. It only become more fun when sometimes they turned the tides and chased down pirates who bit off more than they could chew.

Apparently, her repute for being an excellent pilot reached powerful ears, and her kind captain allowed her to leave and seek greener pastures. After all this is done, she said, I'll come back, sir. A treasure hunt? She wouldn't miss this for all the money in the world.

[color=silver][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Reika is a cheerful troublemaker. To her, life can be fun and full of adventure- she seeks action and danger with a cause. Just leaping out of a plan with a parachute every once in a while is pointless and doesn't accomplish anything. She wants to [i]do[/i] something exciting. Reika is clever and witty, though not particularly intelligent or wise. Reading and writing is not her strong suit, and a lot of things can go over her head. Still, she's good at tracking things down, climbing, and making friends. People who take things gravely and seriously can get on her nerves, and she wants to make as much distance between her and folks who want to 'settle down' as possible. Smart people in general can get under her skin- not just "smart" people; educated types. Most of them are smug from her experience. Especially the smarmy ones who think they aren't smug. 


[color=silver][b]Allegiance:[/b][/color] I'd prefer her to be on the side that's in "the right", as vague as that it.

[color=silver][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] Earth scavenger.

[color=silver][b]Personal Effects:[/b][/color] A cellular device, Citizen of Mars Identification, Scavenging Liscense, Pilot's Liscense, Driving Liscense. A debit card with a small amount of money on it, and a credit card. 

[color=silver][b]Other:[/b][/color] Nothing here.

Let me know if there's any issues. I have a few questions, though:


 Has FTL been achieved? How does it work? 

Are we working with laser guns, like Star Wars, or fancy gauss bullets? (Regular bullets but blue.) Do we have forcefields or is it just plain old steel on steel? I don't really want or need these answers specifically, I'm just wondering if you're going for hard or soft science fiction.

Edit: I edited her backstory
