Vada Mars

**Alex Ramsey**, known only as **Vada Mars**, is a volunteer crewmate aboard Scylla 06942 working as the ship’s mechanic. Originally from Earth, Vada was first sent into space aboard an IASA Space Program with disastrous results. Despite being on the run and desperate to find answers, Vada exhibits a calm and emotionless demeanour hiding secrets she never wants to share.

## Appearance

Vada is a short woman standing at 5”0. She has a slim build with low muscular density due to her stature and from living in microgravity for many years. Despite this, her cybernetic arm assists her to lift things she normally wouldn't be able to. Her cardiovascular health is almost excellent despite living off Earth, due to her need to run almost daily. Her face is almost constantly in a scowl and she is rarely seen smiling or laughing. The skin around her eyelids is dark and she has permanent dark circles under her eyes.

Vada has lightly tanned skin, brown hair, which she almost always wears in a high ponytail, and brown eyes. Her left eye was removed several years ago in place of a red cybernetic eye, which she hides by wearing brown contacts. Her eyebrows are thin and have slits along them. She has several tattoos around her body and one above her left eye. She has multiple ear piercings and an anti-eyebrow piercing under her right eye. She has a half-heart necklace which she never takes off. She has four scars of note: three down her left eye and one across her abdomen. She wears no makeup except for smudged winged eyeliner.

While working aboard Scylla 06942, Vada will wear her designated brown space suit. While in her workshop, she will often wear jumpsuits tied around her waist due to the high temperature in there. When off duty, she generally wears grunge style clothing and is unafraid to show her skin, usually wearing jeans or shorts and crop tops. She has a collection of black boots that she’s stolen over the years and guards them closely as she is never able to find her size. She favours dark coloured clothing if not black. She always wears a full-length black glove on her left arm to cover her bionic arm from the rest of the crewmates.

Her in game avatar is the brown crewmate wearing black goggles.

## Personality

### As Crewmate

Vada’s personality is what many would describe as cold. She will often alienate herself from new crewmates immediately by being rude or cruel to them to avoid them trying to befriend her. This has been her go-to method when meeting new people since she was a teenager and it has worked most of the time.

After the death of her ex-boyfriend, Vada destroyed any desire within herself to pursue further romantic relationships. She has had many intimate partners over the years and at the first sign of them (or her) wanting more, she will cut and run, usually preferring to leave in the dead of night to avoid an awkward conversation. She has become adept at using her body as a way to get information out of people until she finds out what she needs.

Vada is quick to anger and gets annoyed at many minute things and will scream expletives when frustrated. Recently, she has gotten skilled at not releasing this anger, and instead, pushes it within herself.

The ones that truly get to know Vada, of which there are few, would describe her as incredibly loyal. She is someone who never asks questions and keeps any secrets shared to her locked away. She would do quite literally anything for those she truly cares about and is not opposed to breaking several hundred laws to do so.

Vada’s mental stability is barely hanging on by a thread and she is often one or two inconveniences away from becoming violently unhinged.

### As Imposter

As Imposter, Vada’s personality is still cold, however she’s emotionless to the point where she feels no emotions and nothing affects her. She entirely isolates herself from the crew-with no exceptions, and instead of using her body to gain information, she much prefers to maim, torture and kill to find out what she needs to. She is ruthless and has no empathy for anyone she meets. Her lack of mental stability is deceptively hidden behind a mask of silence with no one knowing she is actually a homicidal mass-murderer.

### Equipment

**Wrench:** Vada’s favourite weapon is an 8 inch adjustable wrench that she stole many years ago. She carries it on her person at all times, even sleeping with it under her pillow.

**Screwdriver:** Another weapon Vada likes is a screwdriver. She doesn’t have a preference in type, whichever is closest.

**Pistol:** Being a volunteer, Vada has been assigned a basic pistol to use in emergencies.
