Name: Galen Eurydice
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 31
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 147 Lbs
Allegiance: Civilian/Imperium
Rank/Occupation: Lady Eurydice, Head of House Eurydice.
Notes: (Note Updated due to new information on her brother). One of 3 surviving members of House Eurydice.
Born: Haven’s Garden
Languages Spoken: High and Low Gothic
Appearance:
Galen is, when presenting herself to the world. Elegance personified. Skin the color of almonds and honey, dark and thoughtful eyes. Defined cheekbones and shoulder length hair, black as obsidian for the most part, with hints of warm browns at the ends. She almost always dresses in suits of the finest craftsmanship, universally colored a pure white like the backing of her family Crest.
At home, and perhaps a more familiar sight to the officers quartered in her home, Galen can be seen with hair in an economical ponytail, dressed in simple black work clothing, trying to maintain the house itself, now that most of the staff that once worked there are dead.
History:
Galen was not meant to be the ruler of Eurydice. The Eldest daughter, yes. But her family’s traditions indicated that a male heir would inherit the lordship. She was intended to . . . fill a supporting role. Perhaps marry another lord or lady for political alliance, or stay within the House and take on the role of a lesser diplomat.
It could be said she begrudged this fate, and had never fully given in to it. Always working harder than her siblings and cousins to become the best, the most capable. When the Coward’s Dash took place, Galen was on a peacemaking mission, intended to be a neutral third party within a House Bella dispute occurring at a training facility outside of the city.
Caught in a crossfire between murderous members of House Bella, she barely escaped with her life. And returned home to find that the majority of her family had summarily left her behind with nary a word of goodbye. Due to the Imperial forces’ views on the so-called Coward’s Dash, the family voidcraft were shot down, and in one fell sweep the majority of House Eurydice ceased to exist. Only Galen and her youngest sister Skyla remained alive.
As the Imperial Guard solidified control over the inner districts of Harvest, Galen was forced to cede many of her family’s holdings, either as dormitories and barracks for Guardsmen, or due to the fact that her parents had been deemed “disloyal”. She managed to keep the central Eurydice mansion in her House’s name, albeit in recent months she made the choice to offer up the majority of the mansion as quarters for Imperial Guard Officers, trading what little political capital she had to gain the good graces of the Astra Militarum.
Personality:
Galen has been described as severe. This is incorrect. She is quiet, clever, and reserved, given rarely to smile or show the humorous side of her personality. Galen is, most importantly, driven. The fact that the majority of her family abandoned her has taken its mental toll, yes. But she is determined to change things, to renew her house and continue it forward into prosperity. More than a little selfish, of course, as otherwise all of her hard work and years of diplomatic training will have been essentially pointless, and she’d be out of a home and the status afforded . . . But there is selflessness as well. She cares for her younger sister deeply, and intends to restore the House of Eurydice to good order so as to ensure that her sister is cared for, and perhaps the ailments that plague Skyla’s mind cured.
Elsewise, it can be said of Galen that she is, in fact, a principled noble. Fair-minded and genuinely concerned for the wellbeing of the populace. Continuing the family traditions of being a peacemaker who is, amongst her myriad characteristics, genuine.
Equipment:
What’s left of her family’s estates, which has been severely degraded, but is still more so than can easily be cataloged in short order. Her most important items are itemized below:
Power Sword (Designed as a Dueling Rapier)
Eurydice-pattern Laspistol (one of a small run of laspistols bequeathed upon her House as a parting gift from a thankful Magos a century past. Well-made and compact, easy to handle and reasonably powerful. Lacking in any sort of gaudy adornment)
Eurydice Family Medallion (A symbol of what’s left of her power. A silver olive branch set in an iron disk and hung from a simple chain)
Characteristics:
High Concept: The Die is Cast (There is only forward)
Trouble: Army of One (It’s hard to do everything by yourself)
Aspect: So You Think You Can Dance? (Galen is an incredibly accomplished dancer)
Stunts:
Because I’m Nice: Galen is an adept diplomat, and utterly earnest in her dealings (as well as determined). Due to this, she gains a +2 when she tries to broker deals or agreements.
I’m Really Rather Terrible With This: Galen is not skilled with a dueling sword. But she is good at acting. Once per session she can attempt to convince an opponent that she is actually “incredibly” good with a sword. Perhaps scaring them away.
I’m Going to Win: Galen is driven and incredibly clever, she gains a +2 when she cleverly tries to obtain information from another person.
