Known Information

Not a great deal, just that she's a freelance gunhand with no criminal record. People might know more if they've encountered her in the past.

Background

Being the winner doesn’t always mean being right.

Abigail was born on Hera, just another farm kid in a family of farmers. Education wasn’t an important consideration to her childhood, except for what she needed in order to help out. She deemed destined for a life spent providing richer people with food. That was, until the Unification War. Like many, Abigail signed up as a soldier and shipped off to a training academy on Osiris. She was attracted by the order of the Alliance, the promise that she would make a difference, that her part would help the civilised galaxy remain civilised. And it gave her a chance to get offworld, and be something more.

It eventually led her back to Hera, to the greatest victory of the war. By this time, she was a proven soldier and staunch supporter of the Alliance, and she continued to serve for the next ten years. She rose through the ranks, but never too high – her place was behind a gun, not in command. Still, she earned her medals. During peacetime, she mainly worked as security. The majority of her service years were spent on Ariel, as part of the dock security.

There was no great Moment. No big revelation. Some people had them, had a defining point that they could harken to and say “There, that’s where everything changed.” Abigail had no such moment. It was a long, slow slide into a restless depression. Her work was meaningless. People were suffering, and there was nothing she could do about it. She saw supplies from her homeworld sent to the Core, while hearing that people there were barely scraping by. She saw (and helped) to do things that used to seem necessary and now just seemed excessive.

So one day she packed her meagre possessions, handed in her notice, and left. She had enough savings to get her back to Hera to stay with her family for a little while but it was no longer home. So she picked up a gun, found a ship, and has been doing so ever since. In the last eight years she’s been to a lot of places, shot a fair few people, and kept quiet about her history. To her mind, she has some redemption to find – but she’s still not quite sure how.

Inspiration

Worn. That's the word that springs to mind. This woman looks worn. From the shadows beneath her eyes
to the wrinkles that hint at old frowns more than old smiles, she looks worn and weathered. And yet,
there is an alertness to her. A certain awareness in her brown eyes, and a set to her mouth that
suggests she's waiting, rather than resting. It's easy to pinpoint her age as early forties. Her
silvered blonde hair is restrained into a simple ponytail that sets off her strong jaw and
cheekbones.

She wears simple clothing, a battered leather jacket over a black vest and blue jeans, with worn
boots. A gunbelt sits low on her hips, pistol in holster. She's above average height, with broad
shoulders and a solid bulk to her that's not quite making good its threat to turn into fat.
