STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+Experienced Spacer: Verse is no stranger to the trials of space. She is well-adapted towards long journey's within the metal halls of ships, their sometimes cramped interiors, and the vertigo that zero-gravity cane bring.
+Mechanic Adept: She is an ace mechanic, both by own declaration and admission by others, being familiar with the basic concepts of technology. This aptitude allows her to work with both familiar and unfamiliar machines, whether they be rudimentary, advanced, alien, or complex.
+Cool Under Pressure: In space, no one can hear you scream. So there's no point in wasting valuable air in doing so. When a crisis hits, Verse is the one to look to for a level head and quick analysis. Like a diamond, her best traits shine when put under the microscope, and she's yet to falter with lives on the line.
>Curious: Verse has a habit of letting her curiosity get the best of her, especially when it comes to new experiences. Whether it be sneaking up to get a closer look at a new animal, or licking a shiny rock, most just hope that it doesn't cost her anything important.
-Family First: If it's between strangers and friends, friends come first. Verse will always lobby for the decision that benefits her own, despite the circumstances.
-Pragmatic: Sometimes, you have to make tough calls. When things get really bad, not everyone or everything can be saved. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices to make sure there are survivors. Not everyone will agree with this mindset, but they are always grateful to be the ones that made it.

BIOGRAPHY:
The daughter of merchant traders, Verse's eyes have always been directed up, towards the stars in the sky above. An ambitious, intelligent woman, she would not be satisfied simply following in the footsteps of her parents, and so when she came of age, would have practically leapt at any opportunity to be able to get her feet off the ground, and into space. And she did. But perhaps she should have looked before she jumped. Her first experience on a starship was as a simple maintenance worker, one of dozens onboard who'd ensure the thing didn't implode during their months long journey, or accidentally leak their air-supply out during cryo-sleep. This would prove to be a trial by fire, when one of the life support systems would malfunction mid-transit, and she and the other crew lacked the proper tools to fix it. It would only be through a quick, improvised plan on her part and sacrificing a year of her life on a permanent shift that the vessel would make it to its destination.
For most, this would deter them from ever boarding a ship again. For Verse, this small dip in the pond only emboldened her to want to explore the entire ocean. Verse would go on to serve on several starships over the years, her reputation as an ace mechanic and solid leader spreading between the networks. It would be this reputation that would attract the attention of the Colonial Union, a joint effort from Corusant to expand beyond the reach of the Core to one of the dozens of worlds that lay untouched, prime for exploration and discovery in what was called the Mid-Rim. It would make that trip in a mere hundred years, utilizing the newly developed hyperdrive technology that bent space itself to make a shortcut. The recruiters hadn't even managed to finish their spiel before she'd agreed.
And so after undergoing the interview and months long training process that served to ensure that a person was ready to step into the unknown, Verse, along with ten million other souls, would board the Prospero, and begin their journey into the galaxy..... and find themselves awakening in an entirely new one.
