Clever • Swift • Sneaky

Charismatic and confident to a fault, Sly is the sort of Aurin who knows exactly who she is and exactly what she wants. Full on fake it till you make it is how Sly approaches most circumstances as she’ll act like she belongs wherever she wanders. It had led her to talk her way out of and survive many sticky situations or duck under an arrest.

A thrill-seeker, Sly is always one for adventure or getting into places she shouldn’t simply to see if anything can be gleaned from the spot for her benefit. She approaches people the same way, sweet talking and flirting as needed or backing up her status as the Greysky boss with threats and shown teeth. Sly isn’t afraid to get blood under her claws and can be down right heartless to any Dominion, enemies, or people simply showing themselves to be utterly spineless. She is generally not fond of a ‘useless’ person or creature. Pets should have a workable use, lackeys should be good at their jobs and not layabouts and the like.

The cheerful, naive Aurin from Arboria has been mostly scrubbed away from Sly but that helpful nature can still be brought forward and exploited. She has distaste for those who put themselves in bad situations, but will lend a hand to any fellow Exile in true need. Sly has an endless soft spot for children, abhorring any who would pull them into criminal dealings they shouldn’t be witnessing.

Extra

• Broke the jaw of a subordinate who shot and killed a man after ordering him not to be harmed. The bodyguard thought he was doing his job as the man was threatening Sly. But as the man had a child to take care of, Sly didn’t want him outright dead.
• Can’t back down from a challenge. Her stupid pride won’t let her.
• Sly is the sort of dumb ass who laughs in the face of anyone hurting her, as that always pisses them off more. An angry attacker makes mistakes and is easier to slip away from.
• Won The Opportunity ship in a race she fixed for Kanko Trueshot. He got the prize money, she got the ship.
• Rather than outright lie, Sly rather skirt around the truth. Outright lies usually end up snaring the liar.
• In lieu of cash payment, Sly has taken a rare stone equivar, a pure-bred chompacabra, and Osun War hound. The equivar, Vigorish is Sly’s main mode of transportation as it doesn’t exactly need to eat, while the chompie, Queenie and war hound, Sebby are used as guard dogs. Sly won’t admit she’s fond of them all.

History

Sly grew up in the deeper jungles of Arboria within a group of Wikren Aurin and still went by her birth name, Saranyu. Her childhood was a typical one as the second oldest daughter of six. As her older sister, Chenya showed promise with the Weave and soon left to train as a possible Matria, Saranyu was left to more or less aid her parents in taking care of her family.

Saranyu excelled at this as she grew into an apt hunter for her clan, able to track any manor of beasts through the jungle and fell them with an arrow through the head. Life was simple enough, honing her skills to hunt to feed the clan and learning herb-lore from her father.

This all changed when the Exiles landed with the Dominion on their heels. Being one for adventure and eager to see a world beyond her own jungle, Saranyu was first in line to offer her air and knowledge to the Exiles. What should have been a joyful occasion of new opportunities turned to ruin once the Chua’s planet reapers started to tear Arboria apart. In the shuffle, Saranyu was smuggled onto an Exile ship with no knowledge as to where her family might have gotten to or if they’d ever even managed to get on the Arkship in the first place.

The Long Vigil

Once in space, Saranyu found herself on an Exile ship with not the best representations of the renegade faction which did little to help her acclimate to the new life. Finding herself disconnected to the natural word, Saranyu’s transition to living in space was one filled with space sickness and general unease. The Aurin spent most of her time hiding away in nooks and crannies within the ship until she bumped into a Human around her own age named Domenic. The two became close friends, helping each other survive on the ship which had it’s own thriving community of rival gangs and criminal types eager to arrive on Nexus and strike it big.

The pair was soon picked up by one of the residing crime lords of the ship, Boss Mesa. A mountain of a Granok who was use to more ‘traditional’ views of crime syndicates being more of a ‘family’. It wasn’t so much an act of pity to help the youth, but more done to groom up the perfect subordinates which panned out rather well for the Granok as he’d plucked up two crafty and ambitious little shits. Under Boss Mesa, the two learned how criminal organizations organize and run themselves all while trying to keep out of sights of the law. Domenic aspired to run an entire company that would funnel and launder funds as needed for criminal activity, while Saranyu now dubbed Sly by her family, knew how to grow and properly harvest Arborian plants for recreational consumption. Both turned a profit on the small scale while en route to Nexus, to Boss Mesa’s delight.

The Crime Boss would have had his payment of raising Domenic and Sly pay back in spades once they arrived on Nexus, but an untimely death caught the Granok before he could arrive. Foul play was suspected from a rival gang, but no solid proof could be found.

Nexus

As soon as they landed on Nexus, Sly and Domenic decided on a joint venture of Chrome Shipping Co. as the front and the Greysky Syndicate as their actual criminal organization. With a few members of Mesa’s old crew and some inherited goods, the duo were off to a good start. The Greysky Syndicate managed to establish itself as a reliable source of recreational drugs, with Chrome Shipping Co setting up a few warehouses to ship legit goods as advertised with a little extra cargo to get into the hands of the right people easier.
