Overview

A trained assassin and a disillusioned Martian ex-pat, Daisy moved to New Athens for a fresh start. She put down her Martian Marine armor and left for another system and a fresh start. A decade of military service had only convinced her how cruel and unfair the world was. Things in the home-system, Sol, couldn’t have been better. Things outside that? Hell. More often than once, Daisy was the oppressor. She marched on the victims and put down the innocent.

Her commanders, the politicians, were backing the Earth and Mars corps that owned other systems. They were backing human atrocities.

When her enlistment was up, Daisy left and never looked back.

These days she’s an assassin, a hired gun. She finds people who needed help, who were hunted and stalked. They pay her and she finally starts to put down the people who deserve to be put down.

Appearance

Daisy’s a perpetually serious woman. Most of the time her face is either professionally blank or perhaps in a frown. She dresses to blend in, but a keen observer can sometimes see her clothes are perhaps a little too optimized for physical activity. Pretty outside layers over a bullet proof vest and some better tactical-wear.

Physically, she is buff. SHe looks like she works out and she has scars from her years of service, bullet wounds, surgical scars, stab wounds. She was a front-line soldier through and through - it shows.

Genetic Mods

Military Package

The Martian Marine Corp engineers their soldiers to be elite killing machines. These changes run deep. Her immune system has been made more resilient, her lungs can function on less air and resist tear gas. Her muscles are more dense than average. There are rumors that the procedures sterilize their soldiers, but there is no hard confirmation on that.

Tech Mods

Integrated Com/Neural Link - Military Grade

The Marine Corp equips its soldiers with implants for network connectivity. This can access the local network, provide direct information feeds, and of course provide secure comms. The military aspect of it is an extreme hardening against hacking and infiltration. It has systems to provide real-time aim assist, particularly for long-range shots.

History

Daisy’s family was dedicated to public service. Her great great grandparents lead the terraforming initiative through some of its darkest days. Her dad, uncles, and brothers all served in the Navy or the Marine Corp. The only exception was her mom - a corporatist and a politician. Her service was guiding Mars’, resolving the financial collapse in the Breach Candy region, stabilizing the volatile exports market, and supporting military spending - especially on new tactical armor.

It primed Daisy for a life of public service. She wanted to make the galaxy a better place.

The reality of the situation was so much worse. It was unthinkable. She went out into the world, expecting to rescue victims, fight criminals, and save the day. Instead, she saw people begging and pleading while she put them in cuffs. That was considered a good day. One bad day she was part of a fire team that ‘eradicated terrorists’. They put down heavy fire on an occupied building, they were told the hostiles inside planned to bring down the block. It had to be captured. Turns out they were the workers having a protest.

Disillusionment set in fast. Her family urged her to keep trying, things would get better at other assignments. Too bad they never did. What’s worse, she climbed the ranks.

Mid-way through her rise, she met a girl. Daisy’s whole life was discipline and control, but she met this party girl. A girl who’d had her genetics altered, she was a wolf. And her view on life was refreshing. People just trying to be happy. The place she described, this New Athens… It sounded like a good place.

At the end of her enlistment, Daisy packed up and moved. She decided she could still do the mission. She’d be a bounty hunter. This time she’d only do good. There was no chain of command to make her a murderer.
