This is the story of a girl, taken from one home, and shown a new one. A story where she learned that loss can hurt, and can lead her into the darkest place she ever could imagine existed. However it is also the story of how that girl grew up faster then she knew she could, and how after falling so very far, she rose so very high. How she would learn what power lay inside her and how she could use that power. She would learn that Revenge is not enough to heal the wounds of life, and that love can be very powerful.

OCCUPATION: Former "Operator", Currently Peace Keeper Mira's Anchorage

FEATURES:

Briyana is graced why a body somewhere between a dancers and rather more curvy woman, mother's genes blessed with enough of the later that she is noticeable, but also thanks to the former not so much as to be awkward. She has always had a head full of Reddish blond here, and she keeps it generally cut to a few inches past her shoulders. She stands about average for a human woman, and doesn't have more padding on her frame then a woman of her height should due to the frequent bursts of athletic activity. She has deep ocean blue eyes, that can have an intense look in them, but are more often just carrying a look of peace. Her smile can be rather disarming, and she has learned to wield it as a weapon, hoping to not have to draw her guns as a result. She could be considered attractive, maybe really so when she is dressed up and trying.

PERSONALITY: Briyana could be described as a professional when she is on the job as it were, be that as a Operator, or now as Mira's Anchorage Peace Keeper, she is rarely prone to anger or bursts of rage. She can be called stubborn as well, when she puts her feet to a cause she sticks with it till the end, she also has a strong dislike of walking away from things or people, and again would rather stick to the end then leave people to their fate. She has a motherly side to her as well, this has been developing since she took "pinky" into her life, and has been a great source of strength she has needed to draw on time to time. On the other hand, as she thinks of that young Aurin as her daughter she has developed a fiercely protective streak in matters pertaining to her. While she trusts very few people on the same level of "pinky" to watch her back, woe to the person or group that harms her

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

Briyana has a rather cool head when under fire, and that combined with the training she received when she first entered the life she finds herself in now, make her a more than compotent gunfighter / spell slinger, one could argue she is more then a little dangerous. However what she also learned is that drawing a gun should be the last option, she would honestly prefer to talk through problems, and use charm and a few smiles to ease her way through things rather then just blasting as a first thought. She finds that this when married with "pinky"'s natural sneaky ways and "I Need Dis" hands have helped avoid many unneeded body counts.

As far as flaws go, she has a few most noticeably she has a tendency to be a bit of a daredevil and by off shoot adrenaline junky, she would prefer the exciting chase to the direct escape. Briyana has a few phobias, but nothing super crippling in terms of that, she has a fear of spiders that will tend to push her to be elsewhere. She also has a rather well honed sense of stubbornness, that has on a few occasions overridden her good judgment, she works hard to control this but it can flare up. Finally she has through her work for the exiles, and by extension the black hand, managed to cross a rather large host of of people who would like nothing more then to get their hands on her and inflict some payback

LIFE GOALS:

Simply... to make a home for the people she cares about in this new place and make sure they are safe and happy.



Everything, every tale has a beginning and for this one i beginnings with a young mother and her new born daughter fleeing, what they are running from and why well dear friends we do not know, but we do know this mother is far from helpless, and knows where to run. She ran to the exiles, and while they did not trust her off the bat, and rightfully so. She was able to prove her worth through the use of her skills, that she was finally allowed entrance to the exiles, and even granted a partner to work with as she caused trouble. That my friends is where this whole tale touched off, and for a good many years all was well in this women's life, and her child grew up happy and healthy if a little weird at times, no one not even mom really realized at the time that she picked up her father's gift for the arcane.

All in all I could say life was rather grand for the two of them, mom got to use her skills to help people, and for young Briyana's part she was on a grand adventure. She got to see so many strange worlds, and sometimes meet some of mom's friends and such, and life was great! she missed some of her old things though, in fairness she really only barely remembered the past life her mother stole her from. She was in fact in the only world she knew, so when the job finally turned south and her mom paid for it with her life, her world shattered, though she did not realize it at the time, the journey down into the darkness she would begin, would also lead her back up into the light in ways she would never expect. However before that rise could happen, she would have to fall, and fall so far she would loose sight of the light of day. She tried in her own way to avenge her mother, but she wasn't ready yet for something like that, let alone to take another's life in cold blood, and had not quite realized the danger in going alone. She was quickly captured by the group that had slain her mother, and was soon suffering things that no young woman should have two. She had given up and was convinced this was the end for when help came from a place she didn't even know existed.





She was saved from the horrors of the path she found herself on by the person who had worked with her mother, and been looking for her apparently the whole time. Robert, or Uncle Bob, as she would come to call him in time was her mother's partner. He had promised her mother that if anything ever happened to her he would make sure she got out and far away safely, and find her a place where she can have a normal life. Unfortunately between Briyana's rash actions, and how well her mother hid the signal away, it had been impossible up until this moment. However once he figured out where she was, his retrieval of her was fast and rather brutal, and once in hand, they quickly left the planet as to avoid reprisals.

It was during this trip that she began her rise again, they were heading towards the exile fleet, he knew people who would take the girl in and see to her needs. She however had other ideas, having put together what this person was to her mom. She asked to learn the things he knew, she wanted to make them pay for what they had done, and stop it from happening to other people. She also hated the dominion for allow people like that to exist, and wanted to generally cause trouble. He was initially against this idea, as he had made that promise, but when she resolutely stated if he didn't help she would find a way back there on her own, he finally agreed to teach her.

Now to say her training was easy, or gentle would have been a bold faced lie, Bob pushed her mercilessly, he did have a promise to keep her safe and if she was dead set on this course of action there wasn't much he could do but push and push. She did hate him in the first year or so of her training, he was a real bastard and was just trying to make her quit. It wasn't till she neared the end of what he could teach her that she began to understand what her mother meant to him, and by extension what she means to him. When she was finally ready to go out on jobs with him, she had finally begun to climb up out of the muck she had leaped into without thinking.





The years past and the pair of Robert and Briyana worked together on most things, so when the idea of stopping at Arboria came up, they both thought it may be nice to walk around a planet and for once meet some people who weren't trying to kill them. The first visit was to say the least. very memorable and they met many new friends, one in particular would stick with Briyana and change her life in ways she never guessed. A small pink Aurin who had a knack for technology. She got into things and had this energy Briyana had not seen in herself in years, and was honestly sad to go.

They also came back when the call went out to save the Aurins, and it was here that she found the pink one again, and after this the pair became something to each other that began to give Briyana back things that she didn't think she would ever get back. She refused to leave Briyana's ship and in a way Briyana refused to send her away. Slowly they grew together, and become something more then shipmates. Briyana slowly became a mother to the younger woman, and as time went by older sister as well. On the other side of things the young aurin helped restore something inside of Briyana she had taken from her years ago in room, by three cruel people. Together they have begun formed a partnership and made trouble across countless star systems in the name of the exiles, and to help their friends on the Mira.





Years passed and it was getting on time Briyana was thinking about finding a more permanent home for them, something more then the ship, not giving it up but maybe a place where they could rest from time to time, and not have to worry about being shot at all the time or such as it was. There was also a push for the fleet to begin to make it's way towards nexus. So she figured when she was contacted with this risky but rather well paying job that she would be able to find some land for the two of them on this world that seemed to be the source of such hope.

The reality turned out to be far more complicated then a simple but hard job, and they in fact ended up adding a new member to the crew, Vanessa who came about as wide eyed as one could get. However she soon found her place among the Signal family. Briyana welcomed her in remembering what had happened to her in that dark room years ago, and was not about to let that happen to another person. It is during this adventure that the group reaffirms their ties to the ship the Mira and in doing so makes a home for their future adventures on nexus. However the people that they worked the job against were not the forgetting types and soon they came to call upon the signal, and the band of exiles were barely able to make it to nexus before everything came crashing down and the ground rushed up to meet them!



 So now Briyana finds herself on this new world, where she is position of protecting not only herself but a whole town, and she has for the first time in her life a home where she can do what she wanted to for a long time, provide a home for the people she cares for, and maybe just maybe build a life here. She has begun to settle into her new role as the town's peace keeper, and at the moment its much more about making sure the world doesn't hurt them, and less so about making sure they don't hurt each other. She knows this may change soon enough, but that is a bridge she will cross when she comes to it. She doesn't know what the future will hold but she is certain of one thing, together they can face it.







Briyana has through the years of her life through the fleet made More then a few friends and some of them have grown Rather close, here you will find a list of those that have come into her life and changed in some way or another, and now she counts among her friends.

"Pinky": - Her Adopted daughter, this little Aurin has showed Briyana a lot of things chiefly among them that life can be good no matter where you are, and that being strong is easy, being honest and opening yourself up is what truly requires strength. She has changed her life and Briyana cares for her in a way that only a parent can for a kid, or an older sister for a younger one.

Nathan, "The Toymaker": A really nice kid, young but with a good head on his shoulders and with an amazing grasp on tech almost as good as "Pinky", really just a nice kid who wants to make people smile. Briyana really appreciates the honesty and simple desires he has

"Vanessa": She has come into Briyana's life only recently but has had a rather large affect on her and the life she was living with "Pinky". She has a large degree of honesty, and at the same time lack of experience that are both very rare and very refreshing. She will tell Briyana what is on her mind truthfully, and will act without pretense only following the desires of concerns of her heart.

Craft Ramsey: Good guy... Good beer... Good person to have at your back, Briyana has known him long enough to trust him and that matters in this life, people who you can depend on to be honest and trust.
