Overview

She’s best described as a free spirit - she refuses to give in to corporate reality, the shit-show that is their legal system, or the cruelties that would be forced on the average person. Given the chance, she’ll openly mock the corporatists for the sad lives they have to build for themselves. It’s not necessarily in her nature to be cruel, but those guys earned it.

Her preferred way of doing things? Celebration, happiness, and partying. That’s not necessarily raves and loud music (but it can be). She like festivities and gatherings. Give her a holiday and she’ll throw a feast. A good summer is just an excuse for a good time in the woods with a picnic or a trip to the beach.

I was not born to be some slave to a system I had no choice and no voice in.
I am not here to be chained for some jerkoff’s profit.
Since I’ll obviously never be Daddy’s little rich-spy, I guess I’ll have to live for something else.

Appearance

Bryn is a tall and somewhat curvy wolf girl with black fur. She’s been genetically altered, standing over 6’ with a build that blends some good curves with a strong frame. She can wrap most people up in an all-consuming hug or glare down at trouble makers in her bar. There’s enough muscle to intimidate the same bad actors into quietly leaving when she approaches. Most who know say she falls somewhere between a mom and a trusted aunt.

For clothes, Bryn wears looser fit shorts and shirts. It’s not unusual to see her in a crop top. She’s not usually concerned with covering herself up. She never aims to look ‘sexy’, she just wants to look nice.

Genetic Mods

Wolf Genetics

Bryn has a mostly standard/off the shelf gene-line. The net effect of her enhancements is some better senses of smell and hearing, a slight decrease in her sense of taste, and a fair boost in athleticis and endurance. It blends well with her tomboy nature.

Tech Mods

Pack-Com Unit

The members of the pack have a comms system embedded in them. It is secure, encrypted, and built by the New Athens engineers custom. That is, it doesn’t have the backdoors of corporate systems. Each node is a data-unit capable of net and voice comms. It can give a convincing illusion of telepathy.

Bio-Filter

Bryn’s party-going ways have exposed her to risk before. Drugged drinks, some very dangerous men who would try to take advantage of her. She has a small implant, a filter of sorts. It is able to remove and counter most common drugs - even alcohol. It’s programmed with certain limits and she can toggle it on or off at-will. Most of the time it runs its pre-set limits. It cannot stop all drugs, but as a broad-spectrum safety tool? It works.

History

In her early days, Bryn did not have the happiest life. Her dad was an abusive corporatist who was setting her up to benefit his own career. He pushed her to learn the various talents and skills he thought would be valuable. He wanted her to be pretty so she could work her way up the corporate ladder. Entertain her bosses, trade illicit favors, and find herself a better position. In the process, he was brutal. Nothing she ever did could be enough. She wasn’t pretty enough. Wasn’t good enough.

The expectation was for her to have the brains to talk numbers, know how to act stupid so she could learn from them without being suspicious, and have the body to be desireable. There was never anything subtle about it. He never hid what he wanted her to be. It was merely normal. This was what a young woman did to get her father’s praise. Of course, most of the time her berated her for failing instead. Even if she was perfect - she was ugly, smelly, and wrong. Praise was rare, so she would desire it and covet it all the more.

Bryn endured into her teens before she finally snapped.

One day, her dad had his coworkers over. They were trading drinks and they casually began to discuss a marriage. Her dad had arranged for her to marry one of his higher-ups - without ever telling her. All the berating and pushing her to do better in school, making her dress up for everything, coaching her… Dad wanted her to marry the higher ups, spy on them, and feed him information so he could launch his own career further up. Of course, all of this was for her benefit. She’d marry one of the richest men in the system and live in luxury. It wouldn’t be much different from being a slave. Trapped where she was put, made to dress up, and never having her say in anything.

She fled.

That night Bryn watched them all get drunk, encouraged them to drink more, and when they were too inebriated to stop her - she took everything they had and ran. It was enough credits for her new life. She changed herself. New body. New name. The things she was taught stuck with her, she can’t help but size up people the way her dad taught her, but she could decide who and what she would be, instead of him.

She made herself a wolf, and in time, she built herself a family. Many can attribute her as starting The Pack. She started working as a bartender and she recognized the hurt in peoples’ eyes. They talked. She listened. In time a few were done living in misery. Some fled bad lives and others just casually changed. There were a fair few involved in crimes, business, and piracy. Astrid joined them and they were suddenly in-business. They weren’t entirely a family and they weren’t entirely not. They were just something.

Weirdos turning into dogs, barking at the moon, and finding a reason to smile together.
