::FULL NAME::
Sam ‘Reva’ Ross
::GENDER::
Female
::AGE::
30
::PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION::
Average height and moderately built disguises the fact that she is immensely strong…though said fact isn’t as surprising once one hears what she used to do. Her hair is a short cropped mass of unremarkable brown generally kept under her cap, paired with blue-grey eyes that can be unsettlingly cold. She has an enormous collection of small scars across her body, the ‘wear-and-tear’ of her previous life; and a large one in her side, which prompted a change.
--
She also sports a decent collection of tattoos;
A winged dagger
(Across her shoulders/down her spine)
A banner that reads ‘Who Dares Wins’
(Small of her back)
‘Hold’
(Across her right knuckles)
‘Fast’
(Across her left knuckles)
Screaming skull
(Left shoulder)
Female Demon
(Left side of neck)
Bound and gagged Angel
(Right side of neck)
::PERSONALITY::
Loud, brash and overconfident are polite ways of saying she’s full of herself, impulsive and annoying…not that she’d care. Reva intends to live life her way and to the fullest, and damnation to any who try and get in her way. On the flip side there is her more ‘predatory’ self, which tends to emerge during times of blood and fire. This Reva is a killer to the core with no remorse or morals, willing to do whatever is required.
::BACKSTORY::
She’s always been a pirate, grew up running tools for the Greasers in the engines or ammo to the Gunners; as she got older she started to do more, working her way up the ship’s hierarchy until she found her niche as a Sky-Boarder. Most ships Boarders wear heavy armour, pushing through defenders gunfire after the ships have come into contact; on the ship (the Sand Devil) Reva crewed on, they also had Sky-Boarders, a mostly female group that used catapults mounted on the top of the Sand Devil’s gas bag to launch themselves across the gap.
On blimps, they’d set charges to blow the bag open then bail, then using a line tied to their gear they jump and get pulled back aboard. The charges would blow and they’d then go sift the crash site. On dirigibles, they may use their safety lines to haul across heavier anchor lines to pin the hapless vessel, and while the crew of the victim were busy watching the Sand Devil come alongside, Reva and her cohorts would surprise them from the inside.
The Sand Devil was a D class dirigible that made a tidy pile of Dims under Capt. Dante Montana, while at the same time keeping a low enough profile that none of the big transport firms put worthwhile bounties on her. Sadly, Sand Devil’s Second-in-Command, Rudolpho deLuna wanted to ‘expand’ operations, and when the Captain said ‘no’, he staged a mutiny. Reva sided with Montana and earned a scattergun blast to her side and a trip over the railing. The only reasons she survived at all was the fact that she hit a sand dune that the ship had been skimming over, and that a scavenger crew from the port the Sand Devil had just left spotted her go over the side.
The folks at the port hadn’t know Sand Devil was a pirate vessel, if they had they probably would’ve stripped Reva of whatever she had and left her for the desert, so they brought her back and took her to the clinic. After she was back on her feet, she was put to work as a Port Guard to pay down the debt she’d incurred for the patch job.
::DESCRIPTION::
Reva is a fighter and a killer to her core. The quickest route to a solution is a straight line, usually right though some poor bastard. She tends to be loud, profane and dismissive of those she doesn’t like or trust; quick to anger and violence if she feels slighted. Prefers to spend her free time at least a little buzzed, but would rather be drunk.
Unsurprisingly Reva is also a bit of a (MASSIVE) gun nut. While aboard the Sand Devil she blew most of her Dims on some really nice self-loaders, and had built up a personal collection that rivaled the ship’s ‘public’ armory. She’s still rather sore that all of that got stolen as well.
::SKILLS::
While sober, which she does try to be when working, she’s a decent shot with a rifle.
Fast on her feet/with her hands
Iron nerved
Has a good eye for colour and composition
Can sew very well (Still pissed her sewing machine is on Sand Devil)
::QUIRKS::
Terrified of dogs
Drinks too much
May in fact be a psychopath
::OTHER::
Like any good (ex)pirate she prefers to be well armed;
Rifle
(To soften up defenders before boarding)
Scattergun
(Main weapon once aboard a prize)
Pistol
(For the right hand, if the scattergun is not an option)
Axe
(For the left hand, if the scattergun is not an option)
Knife
(Meal preparation, interrogation and other useful tasks)
