[History]:

Is Over Here

[Personality]:

Faye's lifestyle is such that she is confident, sure of herself, self-aware and strong. Whether she's scamming people out of their money, using her gambling tricks, or hunting for a bounty, Faye knows that there's no sense in being timid or weak. She conducts herself in a way that exudes confidence, but (especially in the face of danger) she can often appear cocky. When she's uncertain or afraid, Faye will make up for this bravado, never prepared to show anyone the slightest tremor of doubt.

Faye is definitely a woman that knows what she wants, and she'll do everything she can to make sure she gets it. She's after money, and glamour, and fame, very taken with a glitzy lifestyle. What she's used to, though, is simplicity. But, if she was being honest, she'd say that safety, a place to sleep, and food are enough to keep her going. Honesty, though, isn't something that comes easily to Faye. It's part of her life gambling, wheedling, cheating, and stealing. Most of that is in her past, something that she moved away from to become a bounty hunter, but it's an addictive part of her personality that she can't ignore.

Perhaps it's part of getting what she wants, or maybe she just loves getting the attention, but Faye is often found flirting with men. She knows just how to treat a man the way he likes, and she knows how to use her body to her advantage. Maybe some women would shy away from this, or be embarrassed, but as far as Faye's concerned, if it gets her what she wants, then more fool the men. Faye hasn't had any steady relationships with men, seeing love and stability as a weakness, but that's not to say that she isn't capable of falling in love.

For as cold as Faye can often seem, there really is a warm heart beneath that chest of hers. Having no family, her friends are her closest relations, and she would never let them come to harm. Pick a fight with the people that she loves, and you have one frightening gun-wielding woman on your hands.

[Abilities / Strengths & Weaknesses]:
Faye is a gun user, and while she might grudgingly admit that she isn't the best in the whole world, she knows that she's a pretty damn good shot. Faye also owns her own spaceship, complete with its own weaponry, and is adept at flying and maintaining it. Gambling, cheating and lying are all fortes of Faye's, and she loves a good challenge in the casino (though she will make sure she wins).

Faye's weakness is her over-confidence, which can sometimes lead her into situations that she can't get herself out of. Though, if she's caught and in trouble she is particularly good at flirting/dealing her way out of it. Another weakness is her past, of which she is very uncertain. The only memories she has of her childhood on Earth are on a video tape, which shows a young, happy, energetic and hopeful young girl. That she doesn't know where she comes from, or what to really make of her life, does sometimes bother her.

[Limited Powers]:

Sadly, Faye won't have her spaceship, so that will rule out all space battles and missiles! She'll have her guns with her, and her gambling skills, and these will be unaffected.

[Other Important Facts]:

In case it was missed in the history section - Faye was cyrogenically frozen for 54 years, so adapting to a new world/surroundings should be something she can cope with (even if she doesn't like it).

Also, dogs should watch out - she doesn't have a lot of time for animals.

What is this? No video? No screens? No technology? Seriously, I'm beginning to think some jerk has thrown me back in time.

So what in the hell does anyone round here do for fun? Where's the casinos and the bars at? There are sane people around here, right? Cause... this place kinda sucks.

No offense to anyone from this weird planet, but I asked for a ship and I was taken to a pier. A boat. Your idea of a ship is a boat... Sure, that'll help.

Urgh!
