HISTORY:
Tracy was conceived five months into her parents’ relationship, forcing them to step up and take responsibility much sooner than they had planned. They each took jobs to support the family; Malcolm at a construction site and Annette at a local café. Annette was shot and killed during a robbery gone wrong, just a few months past Tracy’s first birthday.
Although his parents helped out with Tracy, the loss of Annette and the stress of raising Tracy as a single dad caused Malcolm to develop a drinking problem. He spent most of his free time drinking and snacking and watching rugby on TV. A year or so after Tracy entered elementary school, she started to join her dad, ignoring schoolwork in favor of watching rugby and eating junk food.
Tracy became more aggressive as a result of her extracurricular activities and began getting in fights at school, for which Malcolm rarely punished her. This lack of negative reinforcement only made Tracy more of a bully through elementary and middle school.
When she entered high school, she started sneaking beers from the fridge and hanging out an unsavory crowd. She developed a smoking habit to complement her drinking habit, and even experimented with marijuana. She lost her virginity to her first boyfriend, Oscar Rabbin, before Malcolm finally put his foot down, not wanting to risk her getting pregnant too early, the way Annette did.
In her senior year, she joined a gang. After a few lessons in hotwiring from the leader, Brandon Powers, Tracy stole her first car. More followed from there, but it was only a few months before the police busted the gang and charged Tracy with grand theft auto. Due to her age the fact that she wasn’t the ringleader of the operation, she wasn’t given a prison sentence; instead she was sentenced to join the military.
Throughout her initial basic training, Tracy butted heads with her drill sergeants, but after weeks of grueling chores as punishment, she learned to, at the very least, keep her mouth shut and obey orders. She quickly lost a lot of the weight she’d put on during her years at school and developed into a decent athlete.
Following training, she joined the Galactic Armada and learned how to pilot spacecraft. It wasn’t an extreme transition from driving a land vehicle, but she still struggled, and was too proud for some time to ask for help. She eventually caved and asked a fellow recruit, Bruce Altone, to help her. He was more skilled, and was thus able to impart his knowledge upon her, and they were close friends by the time they shipped off together on a tour of duty.
Tracy and Bruce started dating while on tour, and began planning for life after their service was over. They began saving money, with plans on purchasing a spacecraft and starting up a small cargo transport operation. They pulled in another soldier from their fleet, Samuel Kingston, and when the three finished their tour, they purchased a ship together named The Darwin.
Hiring a few crew members (Nikolai Kryzov and Tina DuPont in engineering, and Virginia Blakeford as the ship’s doctor), The Darwin began transporting cargo. With Bruce as piloting as Captain, The Darwin was very adept at avoiding attacks from space pirates, and Bruce made Tracy his second-in-command despite Samuel’s age and superior skills. Samuel was jealous, but Bruce and Tracy never noticed.
Tracy and Bruce were mated several years after beginning work on The Darwin, and several years after that, the couple felt comfortable enough with their financial situation to try to have a baby together. After a few attempts, Tracy became pregnant.
Throughout all of this, The Darwin had developed a positive reputation among its clients for ensuring delivery in spite of pirate activity. The pirates, meanwhile, hated that their livelihood was being stole by the ship and its crew. A bounty was placed on The Darwin and Bruce for live capture, and Samuel found out about the bounty. Tired of being relegated to the back-burner and wanting a bigger pay day, he joined Tina in sabotaging the ship and allowing a pirate vessel, The Pale Void, to capture them.
The crew was separated, but while she was initially only imprisoned, Tracy attacked the pirate captain, Jack Griffin, when he tried to make sexual advances upon her. In retaliation, Jack tortured her, dislocating her shoulders, scarring her body, destroying her left eye, and causing a miscarriage. He even went so far as to starve her, amputate Bruce’s arm, and then grind up the appendage into meat which was then force-fed to her.
After several months of captivity, Tracy was rescued by Virginia, who had managed to overpower one of the pirates, Alan Olander, and was using him to free the crew. With no sign of Bruce, Samuel, or Tina, the group of Tracy, Virginia, Nikolai and Alan commandeered an escape pod and fled The Pale Void.
The escape pod drifted for a few days before being picked up by a Galactic Armada patrol. They gave medical attention to Tracy, Nikolai and Virginia, while imprisoning Alan for the crime of piracy. As she recovered, Tracy became addicted to painkillers, which numbed her almost entirely as she began physical therapy. She eventually kicked the habit thanks to Virginia’s urging, but it made her recovery process that much more difficult.
Half a year later, Tracy finished her recovery, although certain aspects of her body would never be the same again. Having stewed in the hospital for so long, all she desired was revenge. She broke Alan out with Nikolai’s help, and used Alan to locate The Pale Void. The group, plus Virginia, stole an Armada vessel, and fled the base in search of pirates.
Upon locating The Pale Void, Tracy breached the hull and entered the ship, slaughtering any and all pirates that she found. She reached Jack, who begged for his life, telling her he didn’t kill Bruce and that Samuel and Tina had sold her out. She killed him all the same, but added Samuel and Tina to her revenge list.
Having conquered The Pale Void, Tracy uses the ship to research Samuel and Tina while they drift aimlessly. Another pirate vessel gets in contact. Mathias Lansing, the leader of an entire pirate fleet, had been looking to find out why he’d lost contact with one of his ships, only to discover the crew had been obliterated.
Upset, but impressed as well, Mathias wished to meet Tracy face-to-face. She denied him at first until he threatened to destroy The Pale Void with her on it if she didn’t comply. Wary of another situation like her torture, Tracy tentatively accepted his request. Mathias was not like Jack, however, and he complimented Tracy for her skill and determination.
He offered her a place in his fleet as a ship captain, working for him as a means to repay the loss of The Pale Void. Once again, Tracy accepted, wary of the offer, especially from such a weak bargaining position. She was given a ship and a crew, and she christened that ship after her original: The Darwin.
For the next several months, Tracy learned the tricks of the trade of space piracy. Mathias guided her by way of assigning Sumara Khan to the ship to serve as his eyes and ears with regards to Tracy’s progress. Throughout her early career, Tracy picked up a handful of new and useful crew members (Makito Sakino, Emily Janison, Nora & Rick DeVarez), and overall, while she wasn’t violent as pirates were known to be, she was still very ruthless and efficient in obtaining her quarries.
During her downtime, she researched information on the whereabouts of her two former crew members: Sam and Tina. Upon finding a location for Sam, she brought The Darwin in to attack his compound, slaughtering his guards and his harem before finally killing the lion himself. The attack led to an investigation, which pinned the assault, not on Tracy, but on the entirety of Mathias’ pirate fleet. This raised the fleet’s already notorious profile and put them on the radar of the Galactic Armada as an active threat. In light of this, Mathias was forced to put a halt on Tracy’s plans for revenge against Tina.
While attempting to hit a passenger vessel, The Darwin was ambushed by The Grizzly Sentinel, an Armada vessel helmed by Captain John Wilden. Wilden offered a chance to surrender peacefully for lighter punishment, but Tracy ignored him and attacked his ship. The two ships clashed in space combat before Wilden contacts The Darwin again. That time, however, Tracy learned of Bruce’s survival, and his position aboard The Grizzly Sentinel’s crew. While distracted by this realization, Wilden attempted to disable The Darwin to allow for capture, but Sue took control and outmaneuvered him, managing to pilot the ship to safety.
Tracy struggled to cope with the revelation that Bruce was still alive, having already moved on and begun a relationship with Alan. She eventually decided that her matehood was a lifetime ago, and she was a different person, so she couldn’t go back to Bruce. She continued her relationship with Alan, realizing that perhaps their personalities gelled better than hers and Bruce’s ever did.
Bruce turned up once more, investigating The Darwin by himself, and the crew was able to take him hostage. Bruce served onboard the ship in a menial position, with both he and Tracy trying to convert the other to their “side”. Tracy eventually decided it was pointless to treat Bruce as a prisoner when he showed no signs of wanting to betray or jeopardize her, so she allowed him to serve as one of the ship’s pilots (under the watch of either herself or Sue at all times, of course). And with Bruce back in her life and The Grizzly Sentinel sufficiently placated, she once again began her hunt for Tina.
PERSONALITY:
Overview: Tracy is extremely stubborn, even when it’s to her detriment. She is more willing to try and fail a task repeatedly, than to ask for help in completing it. She also has a very quick temper, and is a very aggressive personality, often times speaking with arrogance without thinking her words through.
She is definitely a tomboy, with a competitive side that at times goes too far. If someone is able to prove their strength to her, however, they’re set for life in her eyes as a friend and ally. A weaker individual is more likely to get teased for an extended period of time, but Tracy is willing to accept such a personality into her inner circle if the time is right.
Tracy is not particularly book smart, as she never paid too much attention at school. As such, she tends to get bored when having science, math, or history explained to her. What she lacks in book smarts, she makes up for in wit. She’s very clever when it comes to planning, and in fact, she performs better with last minute plans than trying to plot out a long-term course of action.
In spite of all her troubles, Tracy is still a very trusting person, more willing to give the benefit of the doubt than she probably should at times. She considers herself very perceptive with regards to knowing what kind of a person someone is, but in reality, she’s easily blinded by a smile or pleasant appearance. Still, this allows her to make friends far more easily with some less than savory individuals.
Phobias: Enclosed spaces (the size of a jail cell); being bound and restrained; birds
Fetishes: Dominating a larger individual; foot massages
Likes: The color red; rugby; beer; Italian food, seafood, heavy metal techno, romance novels
Dislikes: The color pink; frozen yogurt; insects; reality shows; historical movies and novels
SKILLS:
Physical Abilities: Tracy has speed and endurance that allow her to run a 6 minute mile while only slightly winded. Her leg training during physical therapy has made her lower body extremely strong, and she can leg press 600 pounds with ease. She’s also very flexible with her legs, able to do full splits front and back, and to the side. While not ambidextrous, Tracy has worked hard to train herself to use her right hand with the same dexterity as her left hand, and can perform most tasks decently with her right hand.
Talents: Tracy is skilled in vehicle manipulation. She is able to hotwiring more ground vehicles, and various air and space vehicles, depending on the make. She’s also good at piloting whatever vehicle she manages to hotwiring, performing turns and maneuvers far beyond that of your average pilot. Left-handed, she’s extremely accurate with most firearms, though she prefers pistols. Right-handed, she can fire with accuracy 65% of the time. Her cybernetic eye allows for further accuracy with regards to remote targeting.
WEAKNESSES:
Physical: Tracy lacks depth perception due to the loss of her left eye. While the cybernetic replacement allows for her vision to be slightly restored, it can lack the same power of normal visual ability. Tracy’s upper body, while strong and fit, particularly in the abdominal region, is still limited by the lingering effects of her torture. Both shoulders were dislocated for an extended period of time, and though they have been repaired, Tracy still struggles to raise her arms above a certain point and hold them there for more than a few seconds. Tracy’s tail is also not as limber as it normally would be, due to the weight of her tail ring.
Mental: Tracy has an addictive personality. She has a drinking problem that she is less able to control without outside support from friends or family. She also has an addiction to painkillers in the wake of her hospital stay. Every so often, she will have extreme flashbacks of her torture, triggered by seemingly innocuous things, which causes her to either lash out at those around her, or retreat inwardly, unable to confront her fears.

Tracy and Bruce were mated several years after beginning work on The Darwin, and several years after that, the couple felt comfortable enough with their financial situation to try to have a baby together. After a few attempts, Tracy became pregnant.
Throughout all of this, The Darwin had developed a positive reputation among its clients for ensuring delivery in spite of pirate activity. The pirates, meanwhile, hated that their livelihood was being stole by the ship and its crew. A bounty was placed on The Darwin and Bruce for live capture, and Samuel found out about the bounty. Tired of being relegated to the back-burner and wanting a bigger pay day, he joined Tina in sabotaging the ship and allowing a pirate vessel, The Pale Void, to capture them.
The crew was separated, but while she was initially only imprisoned, Tracy attacked the pirate captain, Jack Griffin, when he tried to make sexual advances upon her. In retaliation, Jack tortured her, dislocating her shoulders, scarring her body, destroying her left eye, and causing a miscarriage. He even went so far as to starve her, amputate Bruce’s arm, and then grind up the appendage into meat which was then force-fed to her.
After several months of captivity, Tracy was rescued by Virginia, who had managed to overpower one of the pirates, Alan Olander, and was using him to free the crew. With no sign of Bruce, Samuel, or Tina, the group of Tracy, Virginia, Nikolai and Alan commandeered an escape pod and fled The Pale Void.
The escape pod drifted for a few days before being picked up by a Galactic Armada patrol. They gave medical attention to Tracy, Nikolai and Virginia, while imprisoning Alan for the crime of piracy. As she recovered, Tracy became addicted to painkillers, which numbed her almost entirely as she began physical therapy. She eventually kicked the habit thanks to Virginia’s urging, but it made her recovery process that much more difficult.
Half a year later, Tracy finished her recovery, although certain aspects of her body would never be the same again. Having stewed in the hospital for so long, all she desired was revenge. She broke Alan out with Nikolai’s help, and used Alan to locate The Pale Void. The group, plus Virginia, stole an Armada vessel, and fled the base in search of pirates.
Upon locating The Pale Void, Tracy breached the hull and entered the ship, slaughtering any and all pirates that she found. She reached Jack, who begged for his life, telling her he didn’t kill Bruce and that Samuel and Tina had sold her out. She killed him all the same, but added Samuel and Tina to her revenge list.
Having conquered The Pale Void, Tracy uses the ship to research Samuel and Tina while they drift aimlessly. Another pirate vessel gets in contact. Mathias Lansing, the leader of an entire pirate fleet, had been looking to find out why he’d lost contact with one of his ships, only to discover the crew had been obliterated.
Upset, but impressed as well, Mathias wished to meet Tracy face-to-face. She denied him at first until he threatened to destroy The Pale Void with her on it if she didn’t comply. Wary of another situation like her torture, Tracy tentatively accepted his request. Mathias was not like Jack, however, and he complimented Tracy for her skill and determination.
He offered her a place in his fleet as a ship captain, working for him as a means to repay the loss of The Pale Void. Once again, Tracy accepted, wary of the offer, especially from such a weak bargaining position. She was given a ship and a crew, and she christened that ship after her original: The Darwin.
For the next several months, Tracy learned the tricks of the trade of space piracy. Mathias guided her by way of assigning Sumara Khan to the ship to serve as his eyes and ears with regards to Tracy’s progress. Throughout her early career, Tracy picked up a handful of new and useful crew members (Makito Sakino, Emily Janison, Nora & Rick DeVarez), and overall, while she wasn’t violent as pirates were known to be, she was still very ruthless and efficient in obtaining her quarries.
During her downtime, she researched information on the whereabouts of her two former crew members: Sam and Tina. Upon finding a location for Sam, she brought The Darwin in to attack his compound, slaughtering his guards and his harem before finally killing the lion himself. The attack led to an investigation, which pinned the assault, not on Tracy, but on the entirety of Mathias’ pirate fleet. This raised the fleet’s already notorious profile and put them on the radar of the Galactic Armada as an active threat. In light of this, Mathias was forced to put a halt on Tracy’s plans for revenge against Tina.
While attempting to hit a passenger vessel, The Darwin was ambushed by The Grizzly Sentinel, an Armada vessel helmed by Captain John Wilden. Wilden offered a chance to surrender peacefully for lighter punishment, but Tracy ignored him and attacked his ship. The two ships clashed in space combat before Wilden contacts The Darwin again. That time, however, Tracy learned of Bruce’s survival, and his position aboard The Grizzly Sentinel’s crew. While distracted by this realization, Wilden attempted to disable The Darwin to allow for capture, but Sue took control and outmaneuvered him, managing to pilot the ship to safety.
Tracy struggled to cope with the revelation that Bruce was still alive, having already moved on and begun a relationship with Alan. She eventually decided that her matehood was a lifetime ago, and she was a different person, so she couldn’t go back to Bruce. She continued her relationship with Alan, realizing that perhaps their personalities gelled better than hers and Bruce’s ever did.
Bruce turned up once more, investigating The Darwin by himself, and the crew was able to take him hostage. Bruce served onboard the ship in a menial position, with both he and Tracy trying to convert the other to their “side”. Tracy eventually decided it was pointless to treat Bruce as a prisoner when he showed no signs of wanting to betray or jeopardize her, so she allowed him to serve as one of the ship’s pilots (under the watch of either herself or Sue at all times, of course). And with Bruce back in her life and The Grizzly Sentinel sufficiently placated, she once again began her hunt for Tina.
PERSONALITY:
Overview: Tracy is extremely stubborn, even when it’s to her detriment. She is more willing to try and fail a task repeatedly, than to ask for help in completing it. She also has a very quick temper, and is a very aggressive personality, often times speaking with arrogance without thinking her words through.
She is definitely a tomboy, with a competitive side that at times goes too far. If someone is able to prove their strength to her, however, they’re set for life in her eyes as a friend and ally. A weaker individual is more likely to get teased for an extended period of time, but Tracy is willing to accept such a personality into her inner circle if the time is right.
Tracy is not particularly book smart, as she never paid too much attention at school. As such, she tends to get bored when having science, math, or history explained to her. What she lacks in book smarts, she makes up for in wit. She’s very clever when it comes to planning, and in fact, she performs better with last minute plans than trying to plot out a long-term course of action.
In spite of all her troubles, Tracy is still a very trusting person, more willing to give the benefit of the doubt than she probably should at times. She considers herself very perceptive with regards to knowing what kind of a person someone is, but in reality, she’s easily blinded by a smile or pleasant appearance. Still, this allows her to make friends far more easily with some less than savory individuals.
Phobias: Enclosed spaces (the size of a jail cell); being bound and restrained; birds
Fetishes: Dominating a larger individual; foot massages
Likes: The color red; rugby; beer; Italian food, seafood, heavy metal techno, romance novels
Dislikes: The color pink; frozen yogurt; insects; reality shows; historical movies and novels
SKILLS:
Physical Abilities: Tracy has speed and endurance that allow her to run a 6 minute mile while only slightly winded. Her leg training during physical therapy has made her lower body extremely strong, and she can leg press 600 pounds with ease. She’s also very flexible with her legs, able to do full splits front and back, and to the side. While not ambidextrous, Tracy has worked hard to train herself to use her right hand with the same dexterity as her left hand, and can perform most tasks decently with her right hand.
Talents: Tracy is skilled in vehicle manipulation. She is able to hotwiring more ground vehicles, and various air and space vehicles, depending on the make. She’s also good at piloting whatever vehicle she manages to hotwiring, performing turns and maneuvers far beyond that of your average pilot. Left-handed, she’s extremely accurate with most firearms, though she prefers pistols. Right-handed, she can fire with accuracy 65% of the time. Her cybernetic eye allows for further accuracy with regards to remote targeting.
WEAKNESSES:
Physical: Tracy lacks depth perception due to the loss of her left eye. While the cybernetic replacement allows for her vision to be slightly restored, it can lack the same power of normal visual ability. Tracy’s upper body, while strong and fit, particularly in the abdominal region, is still limited by the lingering effects of her torture. Both shoulders were dislocated for an extended period of time, and though they have been repaired, Tracy still struggles to raise her arms above a certain point and hold them there for more than a few seconds. Tracy’s tail is also not as limber as it normally would be, due to the weight of her tail ring.
Mental: Tracy has an addictive personality. She has a drinking problem that she is less able to control without outside support from friends or family. She also has an addiction to painkillers in the wake of her hospital stay. Every so often, she will have extreme flashbacks of her torture, triggered by seemingly innocuous things, which causes her to either lash out at those around her, or retreat inwardly, unable to confront her fears.
