User:Yggraga

Yggraga is comparatively new to captaining, though has been a pilot for some time. Captain of the Liar's Pride, a leviathan airship, her vessel can often be seen making trips between the core skylands and those far from it, operating as both a trading vessel and a mobil repair and refuel station to anyone that isn't trying to shoot it down.

Character Description
Standing just under six feet in height, Yggraga carries herself proudly, no matter what the circumstance. She wears her hair in a bit of an overgrown bobcut, dyed a little darker than her primary tone of a brown-red, with her chest and point fur a clean white. Her eyes are a stoic emerald, always focused on the task at hand, and looking very hard. She dresses as if coming out of an important meeting that went poorly, black dress slacks with a leather belt and dulled black dress shoes on her legs and feet; a Luger P08 hangs upside down at the small of her back. A slightly tattered white dress shirt covers her torso, untucked to slightly hide her pistol at the back with the long sleeves pulled up past her elbows with thick leather gloves on her hands to work in. While her clothing is oil and smoke stained, it is not noticeable on her pants, but plain on ther shirt and fur, showing she is not afraid to get dirty to get the job done right, or at least get it done her way, often spending much of her free time working on the Liar's Pride to keep improving it, making it more to what she desires.

Her personality is rough on a good day, caustic on a bad one; never really a people person, looks for results in anything she does, and works and acts as such. There are exceptions to this, however, and she does her best to keep her crew happy and willing to work, spending what time she isn't running or working on the ship with them more often than not.

Her piloting is self learned and self taught, and everything has been trial and error for her. While she started out with minimal skill, her countless defeats at the hands of pirates and the like hardened her to work and train harder, and she has become skilled because of it, if a little unorthodox in methods. Now, she is the captain of a leviathan, if heavily modified in intent, and has little time to actually pilot a plane, as the Liar's Pride does most of the work itself and simply needs to be guided and maintained. Still, there are rumors that she has recovered the Broken Liar, an old Mastiff model that had been her first plane, and is rebuilding it somewhere within the leviathan.

Character Background
Raised in a kind, wealthy, and stifling childhood home, she became very independant at a young age, trying to distance herself from doting parents who wanting nothing but to raise her into the perfect example of a high society woman. Of course, the young Yggraga, or Ysolde as her name had been, wanted nothing to do with this, being fascinated by the pirates and freelancers that traveled the skylands. Of course, her parents saw this as a bit of a childish phase, and thought nothing of it, until a fateful day and an act of defiance turned her world on it's head. It was a dare, other rich kids in that particular circle of wealth bet her to hijack a patrol plane in a company hangar, saying if she did she would be a real sky pirate. Naieve and blinded by the thought, she went ahead with it, but did not know the others had warned the police ahead of time. She had already reached the Mastiff plane when the authorities moved in to apprehend her, and in a panic, she fired on them, taking off in the process. With both murder and grand theft on her hands, she fled Cidade and the life she knew in tears and fear, simply flying as far as she could before the plane eventually broke down over the open ocean.

That day had been years ago, and that plane, which she had named the 'Broken Liar', had been her best and only friend through most of them. She worked long and hard, working to pay off the debts she had collected flying and repairing the plane, not to mention the cost of recovering her when she was shot down. She would have complained, but the day of her 'escape' always played through in her mind, and she was oddly silent through most of those years she learned and practiced flying. Eventually, while on Fuseli where she had been rescued and worked to pay off debt, the last dollar she owed was given over to her debtors, and she was free, possibly for the first time she had ever been.

Now freelance pilot Yggraga is Captain Yggraga of the Liar's Pride, a leviathan airship, and she spends her time drifting the skylands, half trading, half offering the same recovery and repair service she had been given those years ago, having been there herself and wanting people either caught in a bad situaiton, or just needing a little help, any she can offer. Though she tends to retain an impassive face, almost a gold expression while she works, she secretly hopes everyone who passes through the bays of the Liar's Pride will find their own success.

Current Machine
Liar's Pride: A leviathan purchased from a salvage yard, the Liar's Pride is a mish mash of Leviathan skins and parts, looking a veritable franken-ship as it drifts the skylands. It is, however, not to be taken lightly, as Yggraga has gone to impressive lengths to both restore and arm the old leviathan to the teeth, sacrificing cargo space and various luxuries for the sake of armaments and munitions. Yggraga had suffered many defeats in the past, spending long hours at sea in a downed plane, and is determined to stop this from happening in the future. The surface of the skn, while covered over in patches, fixes and the like, has a single marking, a large 16th note painted in violet on each side, the flag of the note the flag of the Court of Violets. Yggraga has been know to even man one of the gun ports itself, the vessel sitting parked in the sky when time comes to fend off attackers. In addition, the Liar's Pride always carries a surplus of fuel, food, water, and other basic supplies, in addition to a skilled mechanic team and basic facilities, giving it the ability to function as a mobile repair and refuel base, though only in a minor capacity as such. These facilities are easily able to be contained within the leviathan, but at a loss of cargo space to accommodate them, shifting the Liar's Pride's role to more of a flying fortress than a shipping vessel.
