Rana is your happy go lucky fixer upper, she seems to have all the energy in the world for some her age. People often times look down on her because of her carefree nature and often times will treat her like a kid. Rana can in fact have serious conversations, however mind you most of the time its when she's talking about calibrations of weapons systems, fuel injectors.
☣ History ☣
Rana was born to a small family, some say when she was born her mother was fixing a leak fuel line at the time others state that she was fighting off a pirate with her left hand, hacking a secure terminal with her right and giving birth. Most of it is rumor or tall tales, but Rana was indeed born aboard a ship, the S.S. Belfast to the nation er peoples republic of Ireland. The ship was gorgeous and well crafted, however it wasn't the only cruiser being used to transport refugees of the last war to return home. Rana's home ship was also being crafted for future wars. When Rana was a child she played throughout all the corridors and ducts of the ship. There wasn't a part on that ship she didn't find. It as an adventure, she created her own little world mostly to escape the life of a spacer as they were called. Her father was the pilot of the vessel, and a damn good one. However he had to report to the Commander aboard, even if he never agreed with his orders. He was the one who showed Rana the tricks of the trade and quickly became adapt at creating pockets in programming, helping the engineers who found it funny that a girl could fix things that even some of their seasoned interns were always lacking in. Years past and things were growing shady for their little family, Rana's mother Isolda had a sneaking suspicion that their 'Commander' was paying a few pirates off and had some shady deals. She'd told Rana's father but Marcus refused to believe that the man he was taking orders from was a traitor.
She was 18 when Rana saw blood for the first time...and outside of the body. Pirates attacked their vessel, a deal with the 'Commander' had gone south. Rana had been fiddling with their warp engines, she had hoped with a bit more tinkering she could increase the output by nearly max capacity. She had just about finished her work when she heard a scream. Standing up and turning to face the attackers Rana saw one of the interns they'd had on board be killed right in front of her. This set a light something within the young engineer. Organizing the rest of the team to protect their engines at all cost Rana took on two bandits herself. She didn't attack them head on, instead she watched from the shadows as they seemed to kill each other in the maze Rana led them through. After the pirates had delt with she made sure 'her team' as she called them were safe, before she headed towards where she'd last seen her parents, her father at the helm and her mother probably causing trouble.
Reaching them without any strife she found a trail of blood and fearing the worst she quickened her pace to see a man they once revered as captain a weapon like an electro blade in his hand and her father leaned over on side. Rana went to attack this man but she was too late as he fell backwards almost stunned and then his body fell to the right revealing her mother who stood poised as if she was proud she'd done something right. Isolda had glanced to the new comer and realized it was her daughter, she switched off the vibero blade she'd confiscated and quickly ran to her daughter embracing her tightly. Rana's father had been lucky, their commander had only taken his right arm, and not his life. Isolda was busing her self with sealing the wound with medi-gel so that he would not die of blood loss, while Rana on the other hand attempted to pilot the ship. Things were worst than Rana thought, their systems were failing, half the crew was dead the others were abandoning ship. Rana wasn't even sure where they were, just that it was deep space. All that was left were three environmental suits and who ever was left aboard the ship. Three days passed and nothing, Rana had made due with keeping the engine cores stable so that they wouldn't loose life support or any critical systems. Isolda manged piloting with Rana's father Marcus' help, though by the third go of it he persuaded her to let him drive. Rana also helped build her father a prosthetic arm, it was bare metal and simplistic but she didn't have a lot of resources. A week past and food was running low, Rana was beginning to wonder if any help would come. Both Isolda and Rana had hacked about every com boy they could to boost their S.O.S signal just hoping. The last day of that week their sos was answered by a merchant ship, loyal to the Alliance. They offered room, and food along with tugging the S.S. Belfast back to an Alliance friendly port. This is where Rana met her first Quarian, a shy male who had just begun his pilgrimage. His name was Seeto Graal, even though he was shy at first Rana talked for the two of them and they quickly became friends. She even impressed him with her skilled knowledge of robotics and at her fathers crudely done prosthetic.
Shortly after their stay aboard the merchant ship Rana's skills were improving, the ships captain almost didn't want to see her leave with all of her improvements. But Rana insisted she had other plans, and so did the military. Both parents were questioned, thankfully Rana wasn't old enough yet. Though many of the naval lawyers were damn near willing. Rana's family moved to the citadel with a fleet of soldiers and were questioned here, they were detained and the ship sent for repairs. With some timely intervention Captain Anderson insisted that Rana's family be released and that Isolda be given command of the Belfast. Given that most of the crew were dead and gone the admirals noted that Rana's family could not have killed the former commander and allowed Anderson's testimony to remain. Rana however decided it as time to live on her own and after fixing her fathers arm properly Rana knew that military life fit her family just not her. Bidding her father farewell she hated herself for leaving, but knew that she needed to find her own way. Marus saw this and gave her a few credits, it was going to be her entry to the academy but since Marcus knew his daughter he knew she would want to by a ship and be the first one out and flying free of any rules but her own. He instructed her to see a well known ex-pirate turned merchant, and a close contact of her fathers. {{More to come}}
