Physical Description
The first thing most people notice are the custom
tooled, chiseled-toe black cowboy
boots with inlayed
Queen of Diamonds playing cards on either side. Form
fitting black lace pants are tucked into
the top of
them and Tara wears a partially unlaced black poet’s
shirt atop that. Planet side she’ll
wear a broad,
flat brimmed planter’s hat and, if the weather
demands, a waist-hugging black leather jacket.
A
custom pistol hangs low on her left hip from a wide,
concho studded belt. Brown hair falls to just the
tops
of her shoulders and frames the devil may care
lines of her face. Tara stands an even six feet in
her boots, two
inches shorter without them.
Personality/Roleplaying Tips
Sarcastic, overconfident, exhibits a hard-edged
outlook
on everything.
Touchy. Very, very touchy.
Angry drunk.
Can be easily swayed into doing something by the
suggestion
that she’s not good enough to do it.
Skills/Abilities
Quick draw nonpareil.
Can cold cut a deck and deal
seconds like a surgeon
but can never seem to win an honest game.
Always seems able to find a contact into the
disreputable
element in any port on any planet.
Private Motivation (not known by most characters)
Two things matter in life;
reputation and a big
stinking pile of cash. Tara’s determined to have the
most of both.
Desperately in
need of a father figure, good or bad.
History
Hailing from one of the barely settled frontier
planets, Tara grew
up in a series of mining camps.
Life was hard, but life was hard for everyone and
still is; no point in whining about
it or wishing for
the good old days. During the war, Tara helped run
guns to planets that were nominally under
Alliance
control but which had substantial Brown Coat
resistance movements. Not out of any real patriotic
feeling,
but because the cash was right. Bounty
hunter, mining camp enforcer, hired gun; Tara’s held
all those jobs.
Heck, she even got desperate at one
point, swallowed her pride, and did a stint as a town
marshal. Hey, a girl’s
gotta do what a girl’s gotta
do.
Tara’s got a small but carefully nurtured reputation
as a shootist
of some note. She’s also wanted by any
number of townships, cities and even a few planetary
governments
for crimes ranging from disturbing the
peace to murder. Fortunately the Alliance doesn’t
seem to care about
any of the alleged incidents so her
papers are still clean. Traveling across space is her
best chance of really
making herself known.
