[hider=Julia "Jewels" Fleury - The Waxwing: A Sci-Fi Roadtrip (Oct. 17, 2010-Nov. 14, 2010)]Name: Julia "Jewels" Fleury

Age: 24

Sex:....Female. I hope you guessed that.

Crew Member/Passenger: Crew Member

Role: Head Chef (Cause everyone knows the Chef is most badass person on any ship. Just ask Cuba Gooding Jr.)

Appearance: An amazon compared to most girls in the area, Jewels stands at 6'2", which makes her straight armpit-length amber-colored hair seem even longer. If anyone looked up, they'd see she has deep blue eyes, although people might be more interested in the rubies she has dangling from her Caucasian-toned ears. She's pretty slender for someone her size.

She usually spotted wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, a beat up pair of black sneakers, a red bandanna used to keep her hair out of the way while cooking, and a bright green emerald pendant.

Personality: Jewels is usually pretty upbeat, always has a kind word for everyone who shows up in her kitchen. She pays a lot of attention to what goes into the food she makes on board, and it shows in the results. She can handle even the most pressure packed situations with ease, thanks to years spent in her chosen profession.

How you came to join the Waxwing crew: Julia came up to Sparrow one day out of the blue around a year and a half ago as he was docked on her home planet of Acqus-Two and asked if he had any openings on board his ship. When he thought for a moment and said that they could use a cook, Julia immediately offered her services for the position, and a surprised Sparrow accepted. She got her nickname on board within the first week. She told people to call her Jules, and while she meant it as a shortening of her name, it came to refer to the earrings and pendant she always wore.

Background info: Jewels was born into a family on the poor side of Acqus-Two, one of the families often farmed for cheap labor by the rich parts of the planet. Her parents both worked for families on the other side, and they were worked hard. They barely earned enough to keep Julia and her siblings fed, and they weren't able to be home very often. As the oldest of four, Julia had to look after the others, learning how to cook and clean since her mom was doing that for the others. After a few years, her parents still weren't getting anywhere at all, no extra money, no extra time off, so Julia decided it was time to even the score.

She started heading over to the rich parts of the planet, saying she was going on a school trip, but she was really doing was casing some of the mansions in the area. When she was home she would practice on meager locks, making sure she could get them off quickly and easily. After enough time, she felt confident enough to go after some of the homes, and she found out that she really needed of prepared all that hard. The rich of Acqus-Two were so sure that they had the system locked down, that they never bothered to install anything major on their houses, and for Julia it was a buffet. On her first night, she got a nice haul of jewelry and cash and used it to pick up some more tools from a guy she knew. Over the next few years, she would periodically hit up some houses every few months or so, and use the profits from pawn shop sales to get her family some decent food, some nice clothes, basically everything she thought her parents had earned from the rich folks but never were given. Her parents wondered where the money was coming from but she told them she had just gotten a part time job.

She had gotten so comfortable on her little trips to the well-off sector that she got careless on her last time out. As she was making her way back out of the mansion, she thought she had made a clean break yet again. However, she looked back and saw one of the old crones looking right at her as she escaped. The next day, a warrant was issued for a very tall girl with long hair and Julia knew she was in trouble. She went home and hid all the ill-gotten gains she had yet to fence, burying them deep underneath the old playhouse that her father built for her before he had to go working for the older folk. She left a note for her family, directed mostly to her oldest sibling, Mindy, saying she was ready to take charge, and that she had to find her own destiny. She headed for the spaceship docks and applied for any of the outgoing ships that would be willing to hire her. Sparrow's was the first she got a yes on. She left everything in her old life behind, save for the earrings and pendant she got from her first ever heist, kept as a reminder to return one day, when the heat was down, and when she was sure she had a better life for her family. She's been on the ship ever sense.

Useful Talents: Jewels is an excellent cook, years of cooking for her finicky siblings have gotten her skills up to a nice level. Also, with her experiences as a high-class thief, she is very stealthy, able to sneak into any place undetected. She carries a small laser pistol she got for defense on her trips, and her guy in the underground customized it for her to be as silent as possible. However, no one else on board knows her as anything other than the kitchen girl, save for Zoe.

[hider=Objects in Space: A Sci-Fi Ensemble (May 12, 2011-June 16, 2011)]Name: Julia "Jewels" Fleury

Gender: Female

Appearance: An amazon compared to most ladies in the galaxy, Jewels stands at 6'2", which makes her straight armpit-length amber-colored hair seem even longer. If anyone looked up, they'd see she has deep blue eyes, although people might be more interested in the rubies she has dangling from her Caucasian-toned ears.

She left everything in her old life behind, save for the earrings and pendant she got from her first ever heist, kept as a reminder to return one day, when the heat was down, and when she was sure she had a better life for her family. She's been on the ship ever sense, although she worries about the bountied people they hunt down. Wondering if you might be on one of these bounty lists your friends are checking off tends to do that. No one else on the ship knows her as anything other than the kitchen girl, but still, the thought lingers.

Role on the WaxWing: "Well, I'm the only chef who can make Ellery's supplies taste anywhere near good, so I do that."

[hider=The Return of Queen Anne's Revenge (Sept. 15, 2013-April 23, 2014)]Name: Julia "Jewels" Crosby

Age: 24

Sex: Female

Appearance: An amazon compared to most girls in the system, Jewels stands at 6'2", which makes her straight, shoulder blade long amber-colored hair seem even longer. If anyone looked up, they'd see she has deep blue eyes, although people might be more interested in the rubies she has dangling from her Caucasian-toned ears. She's pretty slender for someone her size.

She usually spotted wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, a beat up pair of black sneakers, a red bandanna used to keep her hair out of the way while cooking, and a bright green emerald pendant.

Personality: Jewels is usually pretty upbeat, always has a kind word for everyone who shows up in her kitchen. She pays a lot of attention to what goes into the food she makes on board, and it shows in the results. She's good at keeping her cool in most situations...unless there's blood. She does not handle blood or really any kind of major injury very well.

Useful Talents: Jewels is an excellent cook, years of cooking for her finicky siblings have gotten her skills up to a nice level. Also, with her experiences as a high-class thief, she is relatively stealthy, able to sneak into most places undetected. She carries a small laser pistol she got for defense on her trips, and her guy in the underground back on Maccan customized it for her to be as silent as possible.

Biography: Jewels was born in the Taranis system, to a family in Little Raith, on the poor side of Maccan. The tennants of Little Raith was often used as cheap labor by the rich society folk of New Glasgow, on the more developed side of the planet. Her parents both worked for families in New Glasgow, and they were worked hard. They barely earned enough to keep Julia and her siblings fed, and they weren't able to be home very often. As the oldest of four, Julia had to look after the others, learning how to cook and clean since her mom was doing that for the others. After a few years, her parents still weren't getting anywhere at all, no extra money, no extra time off, so Julia decided it was time to even the score.

She started heading over to the richer parts of the planet, saying she staying late for extracurricular activities, which was technically true, but she was really doing was casing some of the mansions in New Glasgow. When she was at home, she would practice on any different locks and alarm boxes she acquired, making sure she could get them off quickly and easily. After enough time, she felt confident enough to go after some of the homes, and she found out that she really shouldn't have bothered preparing all that hard. The upper crust of Maccan were so sure that they had the system locked in place, that most homes never bothered to install any major security systems on their houses, and for Julia it was a buffet. On her first night, she got a nice haul of jewelry and cash and used it to pick up some more tools from a friend of a friend she had talked to prior to this second career. Over the next few years, she would periodically hit up different houses every few months or so, and use the profits from pawn shop sales to get her family some decent food, some actual clothes, basically everything she thought her parents should have earned from the well-to-dos but never were given. Her parents wondered where the money was coming from but she told them she had just gotten a part time job at a pawn shop in Little Raith.

Julia had gotten so comfortable on her little trips to New Glasgow that she got careless on her last time out. As she was making her way back out of the mansion, she thought that she was in the clear yet again. However, she looked back and saw one of the old crones angrily looking at her as she escaped over the lawn. The next day, a warrant was posted all over for a very tall girl with long hair and Julia knew she was in trouble. She went home and hid all the ill-gotten gains she had yet to fence, as well as her tools and stealth outfit, burying them deep underneath the old playhouse in the back that her father built for her when she was younger. She left a note for her family, directed mostly to her oldest sibling, Mindy, saying she was ready to take charge of the family while Mom and Dad were away, and that Julia had to leave to find her own destiny.

She headed for the spaceship docks in Aberdeen with nothing but the clothes on her back, a couple of bottles of water, some trail mix, her concealed pistol and a couple souvenirs from her previous hobby. Willing to board the first ship that looked like it would be the more "payment now, questions later" type, she bartered her way aboard the Chelski by offering the captain a gold watch she had been "bequeathed". The accessory was enough to get her clear of Taranis, but not enough to determine where she would get to go, so Captain Zhirkov decided that Neoteno was her destination and let her know on the capital planet of Hanan Pacha, when he took off while she was stocking up on provisions.

While Maccan had been relatively lax with the security, Neoteno proved to be crawling with PGP troops, and as such, it was difficult to find a place where Julia felt she would both be able to work competently, and avoid any authority figures who might have heard about her exploits on Maccan. She didn't feel comfortable anywhere until she interviewed at the Snarl. Scott seemed like a chill boss, and the pay was going to be decent. She was sure she had it, until a group of patrolling PGP grunts happened to come in during the meeting. As the group passed the booth, they greeted the owner and moved on. It was then Julia popped her head out from beneath the table. She cursed herself for reacting like that, but Scott laughed and offered her a job in the back, away from suspicious eyes. Julia instantly accepted.

Over the next year and a half, Julia blended in to the motley crew that worked the kitchen for the Snarl first as a dishwasher before proving herself to be a capable line cook. She insisted on wearing the earrings and necklace she avoided pawning off, "heirlooms" she called them, and in return she got the nickname "Jewels" for multiple reasons. It was decent work but Jewels missed being able to freely go out and about. The whole witness protection program treatment was starting to get old. When Scott let slip that he was getting a ship together for less than savory acts, Jewels insisted on going aboard. It took a lot of pestering, but Scott eventually relented and let Jewels go on board the Queen's Anne's Revenge as the head (by default) of the ship's kitchen.
