Avel Ri'dai

Avel Ri'dai is a S'riiv'ya privateer and trader from the S'riiv'ya homeworld of Aredus 12.

Bio
Born on Aredus 12 in the S'riiv'yan Capital of Vaar'kira, Avel grew up around two things: Spaceships and a lot of guns, usually put onto, or being put onto one another, as Vaar'kira was also a large military stronghold. As she grew up she was amazed less on space and space travel, but the spacecraft. During her early teen years she often helped the mechanics in repairing and construction, giving her some reputation. When she reached her later teen years, and was sent to mandatory 5-year military training she took interest in the S'riiv'ya military originally focused on water combat, now space: The Aqua Bellatores, or Water Warriors, now known as the Brethren Navy. Due to her expert knowledge in construction, repair and flight of craft, she quickly rose to the top in her training regiment and when the 5 years ended she was offered a position in the Brethren Navy (The Brethren being the S'riiv'ya military), which she gladly accepted. Her first ship was a patrol frigate, Regalis 16.

However, during one patrol the craft detected a number of Pirate vessels dangerously close to S'riiv'yan space, and under standard protocol went to engage them. In the battle the Regalis 16 successfully destroyed the Pirates, but was critically damaged and the dead helmsman left the ship on full thrust, sending the ship spiralling into what was only known as 'Human Space'. As it broke up, Avel managed to escape on one of the Frigate's escape pods, moments before the ship exploded. However, she knows that other crew have escaped the ship and landed somewhere in human territory, and plans to track them all down and, with a bit of luck, escape and return home.

Avel
Avel is polite and generally pretty civil, but isn't afraid to yell and get violent if need be. Due to her military training in the Brethren Navy, she is skilled in building spaceships; you give her the parts, she gives you the ship, although she probably won't do it for free. Avel, being a S'riiv'ya, is not the most trusting towards humans, but doesn't understand humanity's strong xenophobia, often offended by their attitudes towards her (more often than not resulting in her doing it back). Avel often thinks before she acts, and as such will do her best to preserve what she has but at the same time making the most out of it. Not being combat-trained, especially not ship combat, Avel will generally run away from or avoid a fight, or if she can, wait out the fight and scavenge the remains.
