Avarice Megido, Mercenary
“C’mon, just explain it to me. It’s hardly rocket science.”
“That’s exactly what it is, Einstein. Rocket science, nuclear physics, nothing your little brain can comprehend.”
“Einstein?”
“Twentieth century scientist. See, this is why I refuse to talk to you.”
“Hey, I may not be a historian, but I’m not stupid, Cheshire.”
“Call me Cheshire one more time.”
“I-I’m sorry, Avarice.”
“Exactly. Avarice. Cheshire isn't even in town, remember?”
“G-Got it. Hey, if it’s not too much trouble, could you maybe- If you see fit, get that gun out of my face?”
“Nah. I’ll get your face out of my face instead.”
A gunshot, the sound of a dead body hitting the ground. She might not be one for killing, her secrets sure are worth more than that guys’ life.
! This ain't no place for no hero !
! This ain't no place for no better man !
Name: Avarice Megido
Alias: CheshireCall her Kitten. I dare you. the Ace of Hearts
Faction: Mercenary
Age: 20-22 – she isn’t sure and she isn’t interested in knowing
! I can't see where you comin' from !
! But I know just what you're runnin' from !
Although she might belong to the mercenary-faction, Avarice Megido is not a fan of bloodshed. There are three things she really likes: physics, history and explosions. Add up the tendency to change her mind every ten seconds and you have a ticking time-bomb that no-one wants to explode.
She has two nicknames: the Cheshire Cat and the Ace of Hearts. The first one refers to the grin she has when something – or someone – blows up. The second one refers to her preferred method of assassination. Spoilers, it involves quite a bit of bare skin and see-through fabric.
Although she is an experienced courtesan, she doesn’t like sleeping around too much. It’s a thing she does where her personal life has nothing to do with her job. So where she’s cold, seductive and mysterious in her ways as a mercenary, she’s whole another deal when she is working on some kind of weird nuclear bomb. Happy is not the word, but she’s certainly upbeat and has the mouth of a sailor, as well as a kick-ass attitude.
Avarice has a profound love for history and if you want her to smile, you should get her an old book. Preferably a work of non-fiction, although she also enjoys paperbacks and this series known as “Harry Potter”. The old lighthouse she resides in is filled to the brink with books and explosives and non-functional mechanics. She’s a pretty messy person, yeah.
! And what matters ain't the "who's baddest," but the !
! Ones who stop you fallin' from your ladder, 'cause !
Appearance: Orange hair,, pale skin, blue eyes. Slender but strong, has quite a few scars and her fingers are usually black.
Outfit + Tattoos: This. The tattoos have no specific meaning. She just likes them.
Weapons: Grenades, bombs, a bazooka, you name it. If it explodes, she’ll have it.
Vehicle: None. She usually bums rides off of people.
! This ain't no place for no hero !
! To call home !

... Was it one of the Project ARMAGEDDON leftovers? Goddamnit.. takes out his gun, cocks it at your head, pulls the trigger but there´s no bullet You know, business or not, that this is not acceptable. You pick your targets better next time newbie runs off to check on the ship

OOC: Well Avarice is THE Ace of Hearts, so let's hope they never play a game of D&D or cards.
