Bellamy Henbane

Appearance
Bellamy is 80 but looks to be in her 20s. Short silver/grey hair with hints of black on the tips. Ash grey skin with silver/mercury type eyes.

Has a scar over her eyebrow on her right side as well as several scars that are hidden beneath clothing. She wears her coalition dog tags under her shirt and often keeps her long sword/katana in a black leather tube and always keeps her collapsible lance at her side or a dagger on hand. Has a tattoo of an ouroboros on her right wrist which she shares with those she served with.

Backstory
Bellamy was born on Talonis. A mining/labor intensive planet. Growing up she witnessed her parents and those around her struggle with the death, maiming and disease the mine caused along with working in the mine for a time herself.

One day she saw adverts for the Coalition and the promise of a better life not just for herself but for her family beckoned so she signed up.

Now trained in the art of war, Bellamy and her squad fought in many conflicts and lost many friends. Eventually, the toll and trauma caused her to become disillusioned.

Upon being discharged, she decided that she was done fighting/killing but an elf has to eat so she has taken odd jobs here and there from doing grunt work to working security.

She remains close with what’s left of her squad and makes sure to check in with each one of them to see how they are assimilating to civilian life and/or how they are doing. She’s also close to her family and often sends money, letters or weird knickknacks their way especially when they are on vacation on the planet Eldathor.

Malus Henbane
Malus is a lifelong miner who now has terrible respiratory problems from a career on Talonis - even with the apparatus it still adds up over a long period of time. He is bitter that his job was replaced by a new model of Synth before he retired, and the corporation that he worked for have effectively ceased all medical care.

Malus is Bellamy’s father and while they do get along, they have clashed from time to time especially when he wants to be stubborn and not listen to the doctors as well as the fact that she works for the corporation that effectively cut him off.

Bethel Henbane
Bethel is sweet and caring but also is nervous about Bellamy being able to find her purpose - though she hated Bellamy being a soldier, she also knows that the life she has now is not what she could have.

Bethel is Malus’ loving wife and Bellamy’s mother. Bellamy is close with her mother and often confides in her whenever she’s feeling low or discouraged. While they do have their moments especially when Bellamy first enlisted, she would sacrifice and drop everything if it meant her parents happiness.

Elliott Caerdonel
A half elf who fought alongside Bellamy in the military. Like Bellamy, works for M-Corp as a base guard, basically ensuring that the mining base he is assigned to isn’t robbed. He regrets not going back for another tour, feels like he is a glorified babysitter. Not keen on the Synths, in the way that the independent planets are generally fearful of them.

Bellamy sees Elliott who she affectionately calls Eli as a brother not just in arms but as one she can depend on to have her back no matter what. After M Corp betrayed her, Elliott and Bellamy were forced on opposite sides in a confrontation that has left her questioning their friendship.

Orzak Ul-Thakk
A half orc who used to be in Bellamy’s squad. Has left Ozaris and now works freelance as a bounty hunter. Specialises in locating bounties hiding under the protection of coalition planets. He proudly displays his Ouroboros tattoo on his chest. His ship, the Infinity, is a piece of shit, but it’s *his* piece of shit. And eventually, he’ll make the big score and be able to upgrade it to slightly less of a piece of shit.

If there was ever a squad mate that could make Bellamy smile on the worst day it would be Orzak. Another person she sees as a surrogate brother, Bellamy isn’t sure now that she has become a wanted fugitive whether she’ll be one of his bounties and is dreading that possibility.
