Dani "Cuts" Laine

Description
"A friendly rival to the Blackhawk Elites, Dani was part of a really large mercenary group. She helped drive crime rates down hard in 3 star systems."

Backstory
Dani's been from mercenary group to mercenary group, most often associating with the Blackhawk Elite. While she doesn't exactly identify as being one of theirs, she essentially follows all of their morals and etiquette, anyways. Often working on the fringe of civilization, she's had her share of encounters with bandits.

Dani earned her callsign "Cuts" during one drunken night on a station in Freeport. Her squad mates found her passed out in a pile of bandaids; nobody knows where she got them from, but every time one of them would get a cut within the next few weeks, they'd use one of the bandaids that Dani was with.

Personality
Her attitude can mostly be described as being blunt, usually preferring to be forward rather than covert. It shows in her combat style, but also her approach to regular conversations. Dani is brash; she'll have no problems telling you that she likes or hates you outright.

Dani doesn't drink that much anymore, usually declining on binge drinking and only taking to a casual pint or two with a close friend. She claims that she's done more than enough stupid things when she was younger.

Diplomacy
Overall, Dani believes in the greater good, but puts survival before that, first. She doesn't search for glory in her job, but she would rather prefer to admit that it's an honest living for her; what's truly valuable to her is living with the people she likes. Getting to fight no-good space bandits and pirates is merely a plus.

Romance
Despite her forward nature, Dani isn't so quick to judge. Her time on the frontier has taught her many times that the truth could be much stranger than fiction, so that gives most new people she meets some time to make a good impression.

On the surface, Dani looks like she wants someone who's as tough and brute as her. While she wouldn't mind a partner like that, the truth is that she's around these sorts of people every day. She lives a fast-paced life and seldom has time to sit back and relax. So, while it's a bit more risky, showing her that you care for her well-being might be the key to getting through her tough shell that she's reinforced through the years.

At first, she'll be rough on you. But show her passion, and she'll return it. You'll find that she has a lot pent up.

Trisha "Props" Lim
Whenever Dani needs equipment repairs or touch-ups, she would go to Trisha. Over the years, the two have become acquainted fairly well after meeting a lot in the Freeport station.
