Raine Turner

## History

### Early Life (Pre-18)

Born on Persephone to a poor family who often didn't have enough money to eat. Other than her parents Raine also had an twin brother named Drayton that she loved dearly. Due to the fact that her family often didn't have enough money to eat properly, Raine and her brother were often forced to steal food from the local market in order to survive. Because of their poor standing in life, Drayton blamed their misfortune and bad luck on the ruling family of the planet and was often quite vocal about it. When the twins were 12, Drayton fell in with a bad group that had the same thoughts that he did. It wasn't long before Drayton was fully engulfed in the group's rhetoric and did their bidding for them. One night when they were 18, Drayton went to a group meeting and never returned. Raine would never forgive those who, in her mind, had corrupted her brother and led him away from her. When Raine turned 18 she did everything she could in order to make it off planet and make a better life for herself away from all the bad memories of her childhood.

### Bounty Hunting

#### Term 1

After 4 years of grueling self-improvement and convincing people to take a chance on her, Raine finally convinced a bounty hunting guild to hire her as a Thieftaker on her 22nd birthday. Her first term was mostly uneventful, tracking down a low level pirate here and there for essentially pocket change. It wasn't until near the end of her term where she was finally given her big chance to prove herself. Her orders were to track down \*bad guy name\* who was wanted for not just theft of a merchant vessel but kidnapping and murder as well. Raine headed to the targets last known location in order to question witnesses if they had seen anything. It was there that she first met a Sword Worlder Merchant Marine named Nyvali Dyrnholm on shore leave. Raine was able to enlist the help of Nyvali by promising to teach her a thing or two during their travels.

While tracking \*bad guy\* , the duo managed to get news that he was preparing to leave the planet so they hopped into Nyvali's ship in order to intercept before he broke atmosphere. During a short chase, Raine was able to shoot down the target's ship and bring him in alive, albeit slightly damaged. As promised, Raine taught Nyvali some cool slugthrower tricks as payment.

Capturing the higher profile bounty meant that Raine was rewarded for her efforts and promoted to rank 1.

#### Term 2

Raine's second term as a bounty hunter was unlike her first term in that instead of tracking down low level pirates, she instead was tasked to focus on those that were stealing from merchants before they even left the port. Due to her history of growing up on the streets she was deemed to be the perfect fit for tracking these thieves down.

After 4 long years the only real thing that Raine could say she gained from the experience, other than a promotion to Bailsman, was that she found she had a knack for cultivating a good network on contacts on the streets for any future projects.

#### Term 3

Raine's third term as a bounty hunter started off great, she was bringing in targets left and right and consistently being trusted with higher profile bounties. That is until she got a job for seemingly low level thief named contact that had attempted to hijack a random merchant vessel.

Tracking down contact took way more effort than Raine had expected, but in the end she was victorious and managed to surprise the man and take him into custody with very little pushback. After sending a message saying that she had the target in hand, contact began to tell Raine a tale. He explained that he worked for the Justice Special Branch and had tried to steal the merchant vessel because it was carrying weapons that were going to be used to arm a local insurgency group against the Imperium.

After a lengthy amount of time trying, he managed to convince Raine enough so that she gave him a chance to prevent the vessel from completing its delivery. Raine, having always believed in trust but verify, agreed only on the condition that she accompany him during his mission to ensure he was telling the truth. Little did contact know but Raine had agreed also because deep down she still harbored a distrust of groups that went against the government due to her history with her brother.

Raine and contact managed to intercept the vessel before it made its delivery, and just as contact had explained, the cargo hold was full of illegal weapons that were en route to the local group. Now that Raine knew his story was true and that he was who he claimed to be, there was the slight issue of the bounty. She had already radioed in that she had the man in custody but there was no way to cancel the bounty as that would blow his cover. So the two came up with a plan that Raine would let him go, and he would shoot her 3 times in the thorax missing vital organs to make it seem that he gained the upper hand and escaped.

Begrudgingly Raine took the shots and managed to get treated enough to report back to her superiors that contact had escaped. Unfortunately for her, her bosses did not believe her story and were convinced that she had let the man go on purpose. Raine denied any and all accusations and was fired for the effort

### Counter Insurgency

#### Term 1

After being fired from her Bounty Hunter career, Raine was not sure what to do with herself. That was until she was approached by a man who knew of what she had done with contact. He explained that contact spoke highly of Raine during his debrief and that the JSB always needed good operatives that could track down targets and integrate as needed. He offered Raine a job with the Counter Insurgency Division of the JSB which Raine accepted.

During her first term Raine was tasked with picking up a dead drop on a starport near the Darrian Confederacy border. While there she encountered a trapped Darrian named Genmaengdernek Nyetnat that wanted to get home but had no way of getting there. Raine decided to assist her in these efforts and gave her a lift back to confederation space. During the trip the ship's power supply failed and, fortunately for Raine, Nyet was able to repair it. Once the ship was back on track the rest of the trip went without a hitch and Nyet made it home without any issues.

Due to her success in the field, Raine was promoted to Rank 1 (Contractor) in the JSB.

#### Term 2

Raine's second term as a Counter Insurgency Spy went just as well as the first with her performing missions and infiltrating small level insurgency groups in order to get intel. During one such mission Raine was able to uncover that a high level agent in the JSB was secretly funneling weapons and credits to the group Raine had infiltrated. Raine took this information to her boss and he was able to leverage this information into getting a promotion for himself and Raine, as well as getting the traitorous agent executed for treason.

As her second term was coming to an end, Raine decided that she had had enough of this lifestyle and was looking to change things up. So she retired from the JSB on good terms and decided to take up travelling as her newest choice.
