Personality Summary:
Lucille is a massive [censored] and not afraid to remind everyone around her of that fact, whether it is by getting into scuffles, getting too serious about friendly competitions, or her constant butting of heads with the world. At the same time, she can be relied on to react and act in serious situations and to make the hard choices when they show themselves. She has a secret love for both old horror stories and pulpy romance novels.
She does have a thing about respecting those that deserve it and those that earn this respect can expect to gain a stalwart companion who isn't afraid or above telling you when she thinks you're doing wrong. However, her exact criteria is either completely random or put together from multiple inconsequential things. So far, she seems to respect those who can stand up to her, are able to bake a perfect souffle, know how to break a rack on their first try, or is capable of explaining the rules of Arkham Horror without having to use the rulebook or reference guide.
Appearance:
Stands at about 5'4". Constantly smells of gunpowder, tobacco, and lilacs. She's visibly muscular and has defined abs but most of her clothing tends to cover that. She actually prefers to keep her hair shoulder length despite how inconvenient it is and takes great measures to keep it in good condition.
Clothing wise, she seems to be carrying a half dozen different camoflauge jackets and pants; all of a different pattern. All of them are stained with oil and small burns from what appears to be cigarette ash. Her 'armor' is actually just standard anti-impact elbow and kneepads with a Type-III plate carrier. Even less protective than the lightest of the Colonial Military gear but lighter, more comfortable, and also more easily repaired/macgyvered when damaged.
She also wears a medium-large backpack which contains a wide variety of items. The most prominent of these are two weapons maintenance kits, a foil blanket, several cartons of cigarettes, waterproof matches, normal matches, clothing patching kits, a three month supply of at least two different types of haircare product, and a solar-charging datapad filled with classic horror, horror, and trashy romance novels; as well as both the rulebook and reference guide for Arkham Horror 2nd Edition.

Reason For Joining Vallai:
To anyone who asks, Lucille will tell them that she is here to help the fight against the current colonial powers and that she is a wanted anarchist back on Earth who's wanted for trying to stand up for the little guys.
Her true reason is to act as a sort of scouts and voyageur for criminal elements back on Earth, verifying what resources could be exported and what resources could be imported. After all, a new world still being developed by the major powers with a semi-reliance on human technology? One that already has a distaste for the major powers? That's too good a target audience for any respecting criminal group to ignore.
Any Weapons:
Bullpup Battle Rifle
- A Bullpup Battle Rifle chambered in .338-06 and equipped with an Elcan Specter sight, this weapon is extremely weather-worn and has signs of both heavy use and tender care. One thing its appearance won't tell you is the rather high reliability of this weapon.
Revolver
- A double action-only revolver chambered for .357 Magnum, this little piece is rather sleek and reliable weapon. Although much more recently manufactured than the antique battle rifle Lucille also uses, this piece is known among gun aficionados for solid construction and reliable mechanisms.
Machete
- Kept over the left shoulder and about half a meter in total length, the machete is the answer to a universal problem: what do you use when you need something more threatening than a knife but not as lethal as a gun?
Disguised Sap Gloves
- They're pretty standard sap gloves, though they have been made in a way that makes them look more like bulky gloves rather than sap gloves. They are notably made with a synthetic knife proof material.
Brief History:
Lucille frequently sticks to the story that she tells everyone when asked about her past: she was a poor orphan street child who grew up on the streets in East Europe who did what she had to do to survive. Bad friends and timing would see that she would find herself participate and survive a short-lived lower class uprising, one which fueled her desire to overthrow the corrupt governments of the world. Her fight for freedom has carried her throughout the world and worlds and now it has guided her to Shaion, where the next fight for freedom will be.
This is a load of lies. In reality, Lucille is actually a freelance Acadian mercenary and voyageur who is currently contracted to a rather notorious cartel as an enforcer and explorer. She grew up in a decidedly lower class family but was most decidedly not a poor orphan street child and while she did what she had to do to survive; that mostly involved joining the military as a Ranger and then being dishonorably discharged for desecrating corpses. Her current job on Shaion is to help topple the human government so an even more insidious group will have freedom to operate on the planet. But that will have to wait until after the current government is gone.
Speech Color:
"
Why am I helping? Ha! Don't make me come up with a story right now. Let's just say the first hit's free, mmmkay?"
Extra:
Lucille is what many would consider a light smoker, generally going through about five cigarettes a day when relatively stressed. As a result of this and the general remoteness of her job, she has a rather hilarious amount of cigarettes with her. At least one of her magazine pouches are actually filled with several soft-packs of cigarettes. She prefers Du Maurier Signatures but will smoke anything if needed. Unless they're methanol. She'd rather go cold turkey than smoke methanols.
She seriously hates the English. This needs to be stressed.
