IT HAD TO BE DONE.
Edit: I leave words out a lot, apparently.
Character Name: Skye Wylder
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Class: Researcher
Ship: none.
Weapons: Skye doesn't carry around much weaponry--usually not any more than a knife in her left shoe. When it comes down to fighting, she'd rather sprint away. However, her other form of self-defense is her knowledge of various pressure points, and she has become almost-adept at giving people dead arms/legs, or knocking them unconscious.
Personality: Skye is very calm and laid-back. She is also prone to frequent and lengthy periods of spacing out, which will occasionally happen under inopportune circumstances, such as in the middle of a conversation or while steering her ship. (One may speculate that this resulted from Skye's adolescent years spent around Artemis, who has a strong tendency to ramble.) When not actually tuning the world out, she still seems to be in a half-daze, though she will respond to everything normally. She tends to adopt the mother-figure role when in a group, and has become adept at doing so.
Although Skye seems more serious than Artemis, one could say that she is stuck in the "meh" frame of mind for all eternity. She, like her sister, tends to shrug off almost anything said to her, and she spends so much time thinking to herself instead of paying attention to the rest of the world around her that her conversations are often extremely disjointed and random.
Appearance:
Skye has white hair, not-quite-tannish skin, and blue eyes. Her hair is layered so that most of it is cut short, by her neck, but what isn't cut there she pulls back into a ponytail that reaches almost to the small of her back, or it would if it weren't constantly pulled over one shoulder or the other. She is lightly muscled, as her pseudo-occupation causes her to walk or jog almost everywhere. She also actively tries to stay in shape. Skye is medium to tall in height, approximately 5 foot 8, and weighs 125 pounds (though she claims that it's all muscle or bosom-weight.) She has glasses, and wears a lab coat and business-style skirt, which contrast with her low-cut tank top and running shoes (which she rarely wears socks with). She has a green pendant from her mother, who vanished when Skye was twelve, and always wears it on a low necklace. Since her favorite color is currently green, most of her clothing is also green.
Background/History: Skye grew up with her mother and father in a relatively normal family. Her sister, Artemis, was born shortly after Skye turned eight, and their mother vanished four years after that. Though she tried to be a good sister-mother figure for Artemis as the girl grew up, Skye found herself more and more involved with her research, leaving less and less time for her to spend with her baby sister. However, she could see that Artemis was growing up to be an at least somewhat sane girl, so Skye wasn't terribly worried.
When she was twenty-two, her ship was attacked by pirates. She and another researcher, two years her senior, managed to escape alive. Since then, Skye has heard nothing of the whereabouts of Artemis or their father. For a while, she travelled with her fellow researcher (named Ian), but they parted ways with him before her twenty-third birthday. Now, she travels alone, without a real destination or purpose.
Her area of specialty, which may be somewhat unexpected considering her machine-interested family, is the human body. Skye earns money as a one-woman medical clinic, and (as previously mentioned,) knows enough useful pressure points to get herself out of trouble and stay in business.
Weaknesses: Skye's most major weakness is that she does tune out the world frequently and without warning, and not much will "wake her up" until she wants to come back (hint: this leaves her wide open for all sorts of attacks). Other than that, she has an embarrassingly low tolerance for alcohol, is rather ticklish, and is afraid of thunder/lightning.
Anything Extra: Skye is Artemis Wylder's sister. Also, due to her name and her haircut being relatively short from the front, she has been mistaken for Skye "The Limit" on a few occasions by bounty hunters who couldn't be bothered to remember his gender. (Perhaps they thought that the glasses were a feeble attempt at a disguise?)
