BIOGRAPHY
Miranda was born into the aristocracy on Imynusoph, though many had questioned the legitimacy of her lineage as rumors circulated regarding her mother and an alleged affair. Until the age of three, she enjoyed every comfort that money could buy. Her father was a senator who had come under a great deal of scrutiny due to some of his recent political movements. Her mother was a socialite who heavily relied upon a nanny to raise Miranda. On a warm summer evening, a figure dressed in black made himself like a shadow and somehow slipped past every security measure protecting the Thomas estate. Miranda was taken and a ransom note was left in her place upon the tiny bed. Some surmised that it was an inside job and accused the girl's parents of plotting and carrying out the kidnapping to distract the public in an effort to take the heat off of the senator.

Though the ransom was paid according to the instructions within the note, Miranda was never returned to her family and they never saw her again. The child had been taken to Eriadu by a band of pirates who in turn raised her in their culture. Though Miranda could remember images of a smiling woman who she assumed was her mother, the girl's identity had been completely stripped save for her name. By the time she was an adolescent, Miranda was well versed in pirate culture. She performed simple tasks within the gang of individuals that had become her family. Though she knew she had been taken, she only knew this way of life and only rarely thought of making an attempt at finding her birth parents.

Twenty-two years almost to the date found Miranda running a routine shipment of spice from Eriadu to Sullust. Somewhere along the way, a rival pirate gang apprehended the transport and hijacked it. They killed the pilot and took the crew of four hostage. Miranda was brutally assaulted and tortured. She briefly regained consciousness and found herself lying in the street of an unknown city on an unknown planet. Her right leg from the mid thigh down had been severed in addition to her right arm at the shoulder. The intense blood loss caused her to black out and without intervention, she would have died within minutes. She was found by a Columi named Zentripoli who saved her by repairing her body with cybernetics.


PERSONALITY
Miranda is tough. She is all business and very little play. Those that know her best would agree that she is uptight, to say the least. She believes that free time is a waste of time as money is not being made. Miranda drinks heavily. Spice makes her sick so that has never been a struggle for her and she believes that addiction is a choice. She is quite cynical and believes that emotional individuals are weak in mind and heart. Miranda thinks that religion is a crutch and that “Force worshipers” are brainwashed loons.


TALENT
Miranda is very intelligent. She has learned how to think on her feet and seems to possess an aptitude for arriving at unique solutions for most problems that have presented themselves during various operations as a pirate. She is stealthy, quick and efficient in her work. She has learned how to hack into some moderately complex computer systems, though there is a great deal left for her to learn. She is capable with a pair of blasters. Miranda is Force sensitive but has a limited understanding of such things.


GEAR
2 SE-45 Blaster Pistols
Cybernetic Arm and Leg [These cybernetics confer no special abilities but they exist for story and roleplay.]

Hello @Wolf

There's just something in the background for this character that I wanted to clarify before we can begin the approval process.

You mention that she was tortured and assaulted on the ship after it was taken, and then have her wake up on an unknown planet with her arm and leg cut off, stating that she would have bled out within moments without intervention. The timeline of events is a little screwy and it seems that she would have either not woken up at all and bled out while she was on the ship and not laying in some strange city on an unknown planet. My recommendation would instead be to have her lose consciousness during the course of the rival crew roughing up her crew and instead wake up already under the care Zentripoli to find that her limbs had been removed and replaced while she was unconscious from her wounds with the cybernetics.

I also do not quite see the point of the noble background and kidnapping if she knew her own name and simply stayed with the pirates that had made her part of the crew. Why not instead have her be born to one of the crewmembers and raised up on the ship? The noble background doesn't really seem to fill in any purpose in the character's story as the remaining history presents it.
