Name: Skyla Eurydice
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 23
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 118 lbs
Allegiance: Civilian/Imperium
Rank/Occupation: 2nd Lady of House Eurydice
Notes: (Was Classified as Mentally unwell by Eurydice Medical personnel when she was a child)
Born: Harvest
Languages Spoken: High and Low Gothic.
Appearance:
Shorter than her siblings, Skyla is almost always contrasted against them, though in truth she shares more similarities than not. Sun-kissed skin, dark brown eyes and hair color to match. Speaking of her hair, it is normally left to flow in bountiful curls and cascades, falling to just above her shoulders.
Most often she is seen in cast off clothing, bare of foot and half-dancing through the house. Most recently she has taken to wearing slender black gloves on both hands, hiding her delicate fingers from sight.
History:
Skyla is the product of a failed attempt at power. This is a closely guarded secret. Only the most senior members of the House knew the exact details, but before she was born there was a deal made with a renegade Navigator House. In utmost secrecy, great amounts of money were transferred, all for the intention of trying to spring forth a line of their very own Navigators. To launch Eurydice from a house of Peacemakers to a burgeoning Navigator Dynasty.
It didn’t work. This was not an unforeseen outcome. Navigator genetics require both parents to have the gene. The Renegade house had convinced House Eurydice that they had a way around such petty concerns. It appeared this was not the case.
Skyla was born without any specific gifts, although it was remarked that she had an over-all “odd” bearing to her. A mind that flitted from subject to subject, and a personality that bucked tradition and the role expected of her.
The House chalked the entire affair up as a failure, and swept it under the rug with none of her siblings the wiser. Paper trails were created, officials bribed as a precaution. And if anyone were to dig too deep into Skyla’s heritage, they would find a trail that led to a dalliance with an off-world Noble, rather than an ill-advised attempt to birth a Navigator.
As she grew, she was distanced from most of her family. Likely due to her parents’ frustrations over her perceived failure and the expenditure of resources for what amounted to just another child; or perhaps due to her semi-odd nature (Or some combination of both), she was slowly shunned by most of Eurydice. This increased after the Great Rift opened, Skyla’s “odd” behavior increased, her manner more erratic, her mind less able to focus on any one subject. She also began complaining of strange dreams and nightmares, specifically relating to particular objects she touched.
When the Eurydice’s abandoned the planet of Haven’s Garden . . . Skyla was left utterly alone and abandoned in their mansion with very little clue as to why she was left behind. Alone and terrified, she was found by the Janissaries several days later, half-crazed and utterly wretched in appearance. Almost executed as a squatter hiding in the mansion, personal identification and pict-matches fortunately gave enough proof of her identity and she was taken into “protective custody”. This had a further detrimental effect upon her mental state.
Fortunately her elder sister Galen, a woman who had always shown Skyla love and affection, survived as well. As soon as Galen made it back to Harvest she retrieved her sister, and Skyla finally found a measure of peace from the past weeks of tumolt. This peace was marred slightly as her dreams began to invade her waking moments as well as her dreams.
Personality:
Skyla is a brilliant young woman, but generally speaking she has great difficulty recognizing social cues or emotions from other individuals. This leads to a certain amount of bluntness in her speech when conversing. She can be surprisingly gentle, and even thoughtful in her own way, but generally she comes across as erratic and haphazard, her attention seeming to flit this way and that. Lately she has also been known to employ biting and sometimes harsh sarcasm to ward off interactions in general.
Equipment:
A small pendant in the shape of an ancient arrowhead, the only item bequeathed to her by her birth mother. Whenever she wears it, she feels more at peace and home. (This operates as a protective charm for her miniscule psychic ability).
Clothing (varied)
Bunny Slippers (Purple)
Money, etc.
Characteristics:
High Concept: Am I Mad? (Skyla’s been taught that she is odd. And has to combat such feelings regularly to function)
Trouble: You’re All Idiots. (Skyla doesn’t socialize well with others)
Aspect: Navigator’s Blood (Due to the gene-modification performed on her before birth, Skyla has some minor built-in safeguards against threats from the Empyrean)
Stunts:
Psyker: Telepathy (She has exactly one power. That of Psychometry, or the ability to sense the history of objects she touches with her bare hands. This ability does not always work, and she has little control over its use).
Too Much Noise: When Skyla is overstimulated by noisy situations, she takes a -2 on all rolls until she is able to regulate her mind.
Brilliance Personified: Skyla’s mind is brilliant, she receives a +2 bonus to clever rolls when she is trying to work through complicated problems.
Stats:
Careful: +2
Clever: +3
Flashy: +1
Forceful: +0
Quick: +1
Sneaky: +2
