Priscia of Aquaruber
Courage Rewards Courage
A Lanzian harpy awakened from the cruiser Following Winds of Profit's Price
Biologically a fairly conventional harpy with eagle-like features. Priscia has broad soaring wings better suited to long leisurely flying, with six finger-like protruding primary feathers at the wingtips, alongside scaled, taloned legs and similarly scaled wingclaws, and a roughly triangular tail with a similar colour and pattern to the wings.
Priscia rarely wears military-quality armour and carries no weapons, preferring a personal shield generator and her agility in case of trouble. She instead prefers to wear dark knee-length shorts and pale-coloured sleeveless tops of Rupeean innerwear.
Priscia has an unhealthy interest in hats and headwear. Though the broad-brimmed leather sailors hat she was awakened with remains her favourite, she has a small collection of prizes (including a white Arkens beret Alexia Octavia of Aurelia had offered) and will clip on a holographic display glass providing a heads-up display for her right eye.
Awakened from a near-obsolete Harpy ship that finally aged out of the Aquaruber's personal naval reserves, Priscia's hull has dragged itself through many battles and countless raids in the service of numerous pirate high chieftains. By the time of her donation to the Void Walkers, she's seen it all and it takes a lot to surprise her. Priscia likes to give the impression that two things motivate her above all - the causes she deems just and the thrill of either heist or chance - but in truth she holds the ideals of Trideste close to her heart.
Despite a half-hearted attempt to keep up a hardened criminal persona, she is liable to fall into an older sister role and lend her experience or strength to a friend, and she seeks to prove her strength by shielding the vulnerabilities of those she cares for.
There are two conditions of Priscia's donation to the Void Walkers - that 50% of the salvage value of everything she claims returns to the Praetorian coffers as if she were still an active pirate; and that the once-experimental and still prestigious technology on board is respected and shall not be stolen or reverse-engineered.
