Build and Skin Colour: Well toned body with a pale yellow, weathered skin.
Facial Features and Eye Colour: A slightly pointed, but not too thin face, black eyebrows, short eyelashes, but very curly, especially with black mascara, added to that a thin, line sleek line of Köhl, all come together to make her golden brown eyes stand out!

Distinguishing Features: A single, long, thin scar running diagonally over her back, a reminder of her past life.
Personality: A young Nepleslian woman, calm but with a warm, caring heart. Sometimes quiet, even more so when she sees unjust things in her surroundings. Helpful when she can be, especially if she can keep people from getting hurt; at least, hurt any more then necessary.
Likes: Naturally grown fruit, a strong drink, the heavy thump of machinery vibrating far through the floor, the quiet hum of motors resonating through the walls, protective gear makes me feel protected, the ability to protect myself [carrying a gun by my side]
Dislikes: Slavery, injustice, racism, being kept out of the loop, harassing male sexists.
Goals: Venturing out into deep space, perhaps discovering more species, artifacts and tech. Undoing the prejudice that she carries as a Nepleslian, of crime, violence and slavery. Perhaps, maybe one day, bringing better days to the Nepleslians, to reduce violence, increase life and increase their comfort.
Father: Jahnock Stockford Mother: Ruby Stockford
She grew up a hard, poor life amongst her father and mother, working hard for little reward. At young age she had lost a friend, their friend's mother was taken by lords of the underworld, them both ending up in slavery. The friend's father was already lost to drug abuse.
She spent most of her planet-side life tinkering with technology, listening to the sound of machinery, fixing and nurturing the apparatuses like they were her friends and family. She quickly came in touch with drugs and lost herself to a world of isolated calmness, filled only with herself and the machines. As she grew into late puberty she started to have a way with men and women alike. She smooth-talked her way into their wallets, getting all the drinks she could ever need on a night and perhaps persuade them to give her something that would hit harder then booze. She even made it so that she could be off with a quick excuse leaving her victims without a way to trace her back. Other times she had to rely on deft finger work to satisfy her 'benefactors'. The lifestyle of taking other people's money, abusing drugs to then isolate her to a world of machinery and fake perfection couldn't last forever.
Soon a conflict with her drug-dealer had arisen because of a due payment, her family and herself were threatened with torture and death. It was a close call, she had paid but was left with a reminder, a firm beating and a long thin, but lasting scar running across her back. Shocked by this experience she had decided to turn her life around, and was willing to face the real world to better herself, to help her family and to get away from the hell hole of a planet! Not because she was a coward, but because she could never help her family, or the planet, by being stuck there.
Now, she uses her affinity with machinery to be a helping hand as a crew member of ships where she earns a small loan. She quickly found her spot in the Origin Industries where she was a welcome helping hand as a fast learning engineer. She is trying to work her way up to eventually end in the ships that are destined for testing and maybe even exploration!
She has spent a lot of her time during her youth with machines and their workings, slowly coming to an understanding of them. At first she just tinkered playfully with broken objects but eventually started fixing and even improving them. She can repair things all right. She is quick to pick up new knowledge, but hasn't had an extensive education in the field of Engineering, that which she knows, she's learned from factory workers and repairman that happened to come across when she was still young and reasonably innocent. Now, at Origin Industries, gobbling up vast amounts new knowledge thanks to their education programs.
Her curiosity for repairing things was a natural lead on to also designing and creating things. With joining the Origin Industries new paths opened. There she enjoyed an education, applying all new-gained knowledge on small electrical tool designs, to gun mechanisms, boosting existing systems and more. Even helping with a running project in the Origins Industries R&D section.
Through her time spent in bars, arranging drink after drink, she had to become more then just small-talk. Action over promises. So it naturally came she had to work her skill on the dance floor, as well as tell little jokes, give well placed flirts and offer just right touches. One wouldn't expect it from her nowadays, but the calmness that she usually is only hides her wilder sides.
As she had spent time in the streets at night, where she worked her way into bars and clubs she hadn't the coin for to even enter, where she talked up strangers, 'befriend' them and had them offer her a good time all worked to better her smooth, seductive talks. If she needs something bad she can usually find someone to give it to her… all she needs, is the right words.
With all the fixing and tinkering of machinery, walking about silently in factories, eventually she started peeking into systems and controls. As with the engineering she has feeling for it, but not much education to rely on. Now though she is quickly picking up more and more knowledge through Origin Industries, such as controlling CNC guided laser-cutting equipment for high detail products, docking guidance systems and more.
With working for Origin Industries came lifting around heavy equipment, causing a necessity for more muscle and more strength. As such she started spending quite some time in the gym, giving her a strong, toned body and enough strength to lug around heavy cargo. Ever since, she's started to enjoy physical exercise, pulling up to ledges, doing push-ups, or jogging.
With the standard equipment of the Origin Industries, she had to take the necessary one-handed and two-handed weapon training before she could wield her Standard Energy Pistol II. Becoming particularly fond of small but effective guns that are easily holstered, quick to be drawn and can give her the advantage of being first to have someone at gunpoint.
Amethyst is currently an intern in the Origin Industries. She receives a weekly salary of 100KS per week.
