-Skilled with all manner of computers and hacker-y stuff. Likewise she is a wiz at math.
Aspirations - To find a ship to call home, to pilot, to survive, to live.
Overall Personality - Aurora may look like a princess or the epitome of the girl-next-door but she is so much more than that. Aurora is funny, can be sarcastic and even a little bit condescending. She likes to talk and chatter. It is something she tends to do when nervous, more than usual. She is a very independent young girl with a reasonable head on her shoulders who likes doing things herself and accomplishing her goals, should she set any that is.

Aurora has the morals of a pirate. She steals and cons those that deserve to be stolen from and tries to help out those that can’t help themselves when possible. She is a bit like Robin Hood, if Robin Hood were 16 year old girl with quite a mouth on her and a penchant for mischief.

She is a very cheery, happy, optimistic person. It is very difficult to get her down. Aurora is certainly a persistent little girl. She has loads of determination and ambition. Quitting or giving up just isn’t two phrases she likes to use. Her unwillingness to fail can lead to trouble some of the time.

When it comes to physical confrontation Aurora prefers to be elsewhere. If she can help it Aurora tries not to get into fights. She belongs to the small but scrappy variety and knowing that she is untrained in every weapon imaginable and will most likely loose tries her best to steer clear of fighting. She does have an excellent eye and can see at long distances. If she were to put this to good use she might actually be an excellent sniper, or at the very least be able to spot intruders from far away. When it comes to fighting in general Aurora is somewhat of a coward, especially if they are twice her size and carrying a pointy thing or a gun of some sort, which are most people. She does have moments of ‘crazy brave’ but for the most part her first tactic is run away.

Your History - When Aurora was born her brother Lucas had just turned 17 and moved out of the house. She was never very close to Lucas growing up but now whenever she can see him they get along well. Aurora was born to Corbin and Fleur Devereux on Londinum. Her father was a pilot and her mother Fleur the daughter of a politician and rising young politician herself. Fleur Devereux was a fair minded individual who never took kindly to any sort of cruelty or oppression forced upon any person. As soon as Fleur took office she was killed three days later, Aurora was three at the time. Her father Corbin would tell Aurora stories of her mother and one day she wanted to be just like her.

Her father married two years later to Susan Pevensie a friend of Fleur’s and very wealthy woman and daughter of a very high ranking politician, and retired military officer. Susan loved status and was far less fair minded than her predecessor. Susan never wanted to be a mother and would constantly mistreat Aurora when her father was gone, either verbally or by locking her in a small dark closet when she was bad. Sometimes Susan would physically abuse her. This is why she dislikes small enclosed dark spaces. Susan was also jealous of Aurora because Corbin loved his daughter first and foremost. Also the fact that Aurora looked just like her mother and Corbin reminded her of it constantly made Susan very angry. Aurora was too scared to tell her father whenever he returned. Her father was gone a lot for work.

When Aurora turned 9 her father died of a heart attack. Two years later Susan, who had connections to drug cartels and drug lords decided to truly take over the business she was running underhandedly throughout her time in office. Seeing as her run as any sort of politician was coming to an end she moved Aurora and herself to Greenleaf. While there she learned a lot about plants, what it was like to live in the jungle, animals, and crime. A 12 year old Aurora learned a lot when she was on Greenleaf. Learning how to pick a lock was probably not the best use of her fine motor skills but that is what a bunch of criminals babysitting a young girl had to teach her. She learned how to pick safes and locks that were seemingly impregnable. She learned how to fly before she knew how to drive. Miles Crowley one of the small time criminals (who has gotten a lot bigger since then in the smuggling trade business) taught her how to fly when she was 11 and 12. Aurora was a natural at flying, she was a gifted pilot even from a young age. The criminals who were set to watch her would make do with what little they had to entertain her. Most of the time this dealt with either flying a plane or driving a car, Aurora is skilled at both.

She was carted along to important meetings, usually locked in some broom closet somewhere that she always managed to get out of and was often threatened with the same speech of ‘if you breathe a word of this to anyone you’re dead.’ Her life was threatened so many times that it became common place, and business associates of her step-mother saw her lock picking and code breaking skills (as she is very good with numbers) as valuable.

It’s safe to say that Aurora has connections, perhaps unwanted, and dangerous connections, but connections all the same. Hector Ramirez a well-known drug lord and associate of her step-mother’s thought that Susan was getting too over-confident. In his eyes that meant Susan Pevensie was getting too powerful and taking over some of his business and she needed to be taken down a peg or two. Aurora at 15 saw this as her way out. She offered to help Hector as long as she could escape. Hector agreed, he had a soft spot the little girl and thought she had spunk.

When on a job it went south (with the help of Aurora’s planning) and Hector betrayed Susan. Everything taken for himself, his men turned on her and she had to flee. Meanwhile Aurora escaped out the back, took a shuttle and flew off into the black set her coordinates for the Core and hoped for the best. She only made it to one of the boarder planets Persephone. Now Aurora Devereux, often called Dev is in search of a new ship to pilot with a good crew and decent pay, but mostly a warm bed to sleep in at night.

Roleplay Example - Aurora’s breath was labored as she trudged through the dusty rock and sand of the Persephone desert, at various intervals dragging along or carrying her large duffle bag over her shoulder. “Why did it have to be a desert, c’mon!” she flailed her arms up and yelled up at the picturesque sky dotted with billowing puffs of cloud. She had crash landed her shuttle in one of the desert areas of Persephone. She heaved her dark cobalt blue duffle, now smudged with dirt and sand, over her shoulder once more. It was perhaps twice her size and probably weighed as much. “I really need to steal lighter clothes,” she said, it was probably her recent shoe and boot collection weighing her down really. Finally off in the distance she could see the wavering buildings or perhaps a dock.

Sure enough it was the Eavesdown Docks. Aurora smiled with glee. She straightened her hair as best she could, brushed herself down and patted her bag a few times. Billows of dust flew in every direction. She coughed a few times. As the sandy haze cleared she found herself looking up at numerous ships. Aurora wandered around before she found a ship she thought might be willing to take her on. She had a bit of coin in her bag, enough to get her on a ship. Now if only someone would trust a 16 year old to pilot a ship.

SYR INTEGRA of CAUTION 2.0 created this and she will happily hunt you down, rip out your spinal cord, and beat you to death with it if you steal her hard work and claim it as your own. especially since she will gladly share it with any and all who wish to use it, provided they leave her nice, little credit attached.
