CIVILIAN, sophia velos

[attr="class","meeny"]

PERSONALITY: Once, all she had to do was act cute in order to have half a bed for the night. Styx taught her better - shoot him, and everything that the man owns are hers for the taking. She walks a different path now, but she finds it impossible to leave the past behind.

Ever since she lost it all, Sophia's rigid sense of self-preservation has been compromised by a healthy taste for adventure. She's secretive by necessity and lonely by habit. Maybe there's still a girl left after all the guns and knives that Styx had shoved into her hands, but only the wolves would know.

Is she happy? Sophia would tell you tersely that she's alive -- as if that was any real answer. This vagabond life was never what she had wanted, but everyone has to make do with what the world left them with. Sometimes she thinks that she has the closest she's ever come to freedom. Other times, she just wants to take a very long rest.

BIOGRAPHY: Her dad had been one of the Cinder miners who died during a cave-in. All that's left of him is a single entry in a Safety Violations Report and a little girl that the locals barely remember. That was a long time ago. Sophia's unusual resistance to smog poisoning is the only indication that she had ever lived there.

She was swept up by the Styx when she was nine years old. Her relatives originally sent her off to work at the factories with the other children, but then that company went bankrupt. They fell behind on payments to the local gang, and men with guns took over what was left of the manufacturing plant. The men realized that Sophia wasn't just pliable and discreet. She was a survivor. In short, they realized that putting her in factory work was a waste of her potential.

She was given a Snorunt that had been underbred. They gave Sophia one month to turn her into a Pokemon that didn't deserve to be drowned in the river. She would have done anything to save the poor creature. The truth is, she would have done anything to save herself. Thus she began a long career in infiltration and murder so that her masters wouldn't have to dirty their hands. At the age of seventeen, she couldn't do it anymore. There was too much blood on her hands that didn't need to be there. Whatever it was that Jonas wanted her to become, she was done.

Her current status within Styx is a little murky at the moment. She has plenty of criminal contacts, but she has also broken a lot of their laws. Apparently sinking a criminal organization's base into the sea causes you to incur all debt on their behalf. The organization had betrayed Styx's laws first, but the Orre underground only respects technicalities that are backed by guns. The stakeholders are still out for her blood. There's no practical way for a single woman to produce the revenue of a hundred men, and they don't expect her to try. Good on them, because she isn't.

[break][break]

She can't escape Styx. They gave her all the tools that she uses to survive, and Sophia still carries the constellation tattoo of the Orre underground on her back. Her services carry a cost, and she doesn't shy away from taking advantage of desperate civilians. Usually that cost is all the hot water in the shower, a hot meal, and a bed for the night. She doesn't hesitate to ask for more if she needs it, but Sophia isn't a very high maintenance woman. She needs food, lodgings, gas for her motorbike, ammunition, and the occasional change in workwear. Everything else is a luxury that she uses to forget the past.
