Quote: "We scavenge to survive out here, and apparently, family is scavenge-able too."

Elise is the eldest of Diego's family, she was the eldest sister of all the family but is now the oldest due to the parents unfortunate demise. Time and life has not been kind to her, Elise has had to fight for pretty much everything she's ever had. Before the DA's cival war, Elise was a motherly older sister who was kind and helpful to her younger siblings, she was studying to become a vehicular engineer and was also doing a combat course in long range ballistics. Her kind and confident attitude helped carry the large and somewhat poor family through the toughest of times, she was hard working and it showed in the things she put her time into. Her escape from the civil war was a narrow and tough one. Although she refuses to talk about the day she lost her whole family, she will let people know that she escaped with a group of rebels through a space dock in next city over from theirs a few days into the short lived war.

From there, things only got worse. She was dropped into a neutral slum, belonging to no Terra-corp or faction and thus receiving very little income to use. She lived homeless for years, fighting off the many slezy and desperate inhabitants of the area, who were eying her up for their own fancies. Her intelligence and will to survive kept her going, combined with her impressive stature to give her the physical strength to actually fend people off. The slums she lived in were huge and unending, she didn't eat a lot of nights and the days she did have food, she often couldn't eat it, from feeling so sick with depression, recalling the events of the civil war, missing her family... Elise struggled massively with her own mind and fought off her own suicide many nights. Her life however took a somewhat lucky turn, as a group of private mercs searched the slums for potential meatshields for them to hire when they spotted Elise, currently fighting off 3 filthy beggars trying to get at her body. As she kicked them off and sent them running, the mercs approached her and offered her a job.

They took her to an Orion city, fed her, clothed her, gave her a room in their massive apartment to sleep in and briefed her as to what they did. Mercs weren't exactly the word Elise would use to describe them, they were more akin to celebrities than Mercs. They were heroes to the children of the city, loved by many, had their own radio talk show... they didn't really do much proper Merc work and they mostly took new recruits on to take the bullets for them when they actually went out on jobs. Elise was "destine" to be another "main character" for them, as it were, rather than a bullet sponge. They equipped with her decent grade power armour and a powerful sniper rifle, given her background, it seemed appropriate. There was however, one major issue.

Danny Vincent. Danny was the alpha male of the group and the packs leader. All 4 of the girls in the group (excluding Elise, the 5th) adored him to the extreme, they did whatever he asked on demand no matter what and were also expected to sleep with him whenever asked, which they did. They rather enjoyed it as well. Elise however, was not a fan of Danny or his ways. The group tried to impose their ways on Elise, slowly pressuring her into sleeping with Danny, something Dan was very much looking forward to as he had a massive crush on Elise. This whole act did not wash well with our girl and she outright refused to so much as touch Danny, frustrating him and thus frustrating everyone around him. Elise stayed with the group for a few years, gaining a significant amount of fans and money, her life was rather luxurious at this point but Dannys attempts to seduce her kept on, he simply was not used to rejection and ultimately, Elise flipped out, hammering Danny into a bloody pulp when he snuck into her shower room in a daring attempt to find some shower fun. Not only did she beat the crap out of him, she also humiliated him and her actions shortly led to an enraged Danny throwing her out of the group. Due to her exit, she didn't recieve any additional money and was left nearly penniless from the event. Scraping together what she could, Elise took the fastest flight out of the city and away from the area, ending up on yet another backwater planet.

Yet life was not to decline in happiness for her, infact, it was to increase. There were no camera's here, no one to spy and record her, no Danny pressuring her, no paparazzi... she was free from that lifestyle. The few years of luxury she'd lived in provide a somewhat calm environment for her to reflect on the past and come to terms with the loss of her family. Although she will always be sad over what happened, Elise no longer cries herself to sleep at night over past events, although the occasional nightmare still haunts her. The planet itself was dusty and ruined, wrecked by BDA mining operations, with some surviving creatures preying around for whatever they can find. Yet Elise stumbled upon a strange group of people that she would soon come to love as her own. A group of surviving freaks, outcasts and just plain unlucky folks who took refuge on a planet where they wouldn't be judged. Where their concerns were water and food, not others opinions and looks. They crazy little group lived in nothing more than metal caravans, often holey and damaged, many of them unable to do any manual labour, the 6,9ft Elise was a towering pillar of strength compared to any of them. Her sudden appearance as she stumbled upon the camp as awkward and strange but the group were welcoming and friendly once they discovered that she was actually a decent person. To them, pretty girls had often been rude and horrid, but Elise greeted them with a tired and weary smile, not a judging gaze... Soon enough, she was eating with them, drinking and they managed to cobble together a caravan for her to live in. It was leaky and cold at night, but Elise had even been happier since the war, she had a place to call home, where she could make a difference. She helped everywhere she could, hunting beasts down for food with her rifle she got from her merc days, repairing and fixing up what machinery and houses they had, scavenging for new parts to use... everything they had, they had to get themselves, like in her homeless days. But this time, her burden was shared. She didn't have the expensive luxury life of previous... but she was far happier here, no one pestered her for sex or pressured her... there were just kind, helpful and fantastic people who were her new family. Her arrival in the group made a massive difference, as she was so fit and healthy in comparison to most of them. She brought home 3 times the food the others did combined and they usually had more than enough to eat, home made delicious broths and stews fed them most nights along with stories and other tales to keep everyone entertained around the groups camp-fire.

Elise has been with them ever since, although the deaths of a few of the elders has made the group smaller, they still remain strong and happy. Elise moved her caravan out a little bit from the others and into a spot she felt was more appropriate, preferring to get a little alone time and a nice(ish) view from her window, to keep an eye out for anything in the distance. She repainted her armour from the mercs blue scheme into something more fitting and has been content with her life for years now. Although she still deeply misses her family and spends a lot of time thinking about them.

Elise is a kind, motherly and gentle figure to speak to, despite her intimidating size and strength. To those who need help, she will always provide, her kindness knows no bounds in that respect. But she does not appreciate laziness and unwillingness to work, those looking for attention from her will also find none, her attention comes naturally to those who need it and those who deserve it, not those who demand or beg for it. She's an excellent judge of character and her time around has chilled her out into a beautifully calm and sincere person in her best moments. Her uncanny ability to see peoples character has served her well through-out her life and often she can tell a persons goals just by looking them in the eyes. Yet she is not all love and happiness. She is more than capable of taking a life should the situation require it, she will not allow people to endanger herself or those she cares about and will deliver swift and sometimes harsh justice to those who wrong her. Ultimately, Elise is a very strong and independent woman, with strong values and a powerful sense of family among others, her kindness will come to those who she feels needs it and will avoid those who seek to attain it. She does not shy away from challenge but does not provoke it either. Elise is a massive challenge to anyone who's looking for romantic contact, but a massive ally to those who desperately need one.

Hope you guys find Elise interesting! She's been great for me, nice to have a more down to earth character! Let me know what you think in the comments!
