Meory Virgo

**Meory Virgo** [May-uh-ry] is the field tactician of the Muted Requiem Strike Team, and a sex worker. She pilots the custom frame Stella, left to her by her late boyfriend Tallua (he/him). She is best friends with petty officer second class and launch deck controller of the Muted Requiem Akula Argent (he/they), as well as tiring coworker of Captain Pace Ouedraogo and strategy officer Joule Europa, along with the rest of the strike team of the Muted Requieum. Additionally, she is close to Ward Asaju and Bite Killbite of the Red Robins, a rust punk faction with the Nacrine Tide, and Symbol of her strike team. She still does sex work whenever she isn't working for the Tide, and uses Stella as her office for both jobs, as well as a place to relax and unwind with friends. She is currently working to create an Ixaldan separatist faction within the Wolfram Union in her spare time as well. Among members of the Nacrine Tide as a whole, Meory has become someone to lean on, a tactical advisor for combat situations as well as insurrectionist and restiance actions. She is doing her very best.

## Appearance

Meory is pale, with long legs and pink, feathery hair. She is below average height for someone with Ixaldar-Tyranon gene mods, and above average weight as well. Because of this, her features are soft and rounded, and she always wears a comforting smile on her face. Meory is usually dressed in bright, short robes and running shoes, a look she pulls off best in Stella's cockpit.

## History

Meory is from Apollimir, the eastern and main capital of the Wolfram Union on Teter. She worked in the city as a sex worker and lived with her boyfriend Tallua, a rig and frame mechanic for the Union itself through a subsidiary shop. Tallua was a tall and thin man, with self-modified blue hair and hereditary hand-eye coordination gene mods, and a gentle smile. At the time, Meory was in a relationship with both Tallua and their mutual lover Akula (he/they), a rambunctious and feisty woman with old Nadezhdan gene mods giving him some features of a goat and a shark, who now works as the launch deck controller of the Muted Requiem while still being Meory's best friend. The three of them lived in Apollimir for years, going on vacations and being domestic, until Tallua died. He had been working on a personal custom rig he called "Astro," which Meory now inherited along with some mysterious debt that Wolfram debt-collector cops were happy to come after her for. She fled the city, heading west in Astro across the mountains until she reached Rustmyre, far before her target of Ornstead. There she made friends with the local "rust punks" of the Ixvald desert, rebellious vagrants that often strip the rusted husks of frames and knechts of the Union War for the Nacrine Tide. Among them, she made friends with Bite Killbite and Ward Asaju, both of whom helped her modify Astro slightly, and move down south to Zandroost, a bigger city that she could get more work in. She continued to do sex work in Zandroost, using Astro as a home and as her office, so to speak, as the brothels in the area were far too reminiscent of ones on Tyranon planets, as told to sex workers who thought they had it bad in Apollimir. After some time, Union cops find her again looking to collect some nebulous debt, and so Meory moved further south, this time crossing the border into Coralinth and settling in Lullaby. There, some old contacts put her in touch with Captain Pace Ouedraogo of the Muted Requiem and the Nacrine Tide. After beefing up Astro for combat and renaming the frame as "Stella," Meory showed exceptional skill at reading tactical situations and was appointed directly under Captain Ouedrago on the Muted Requiem as the field tactician of its strike team.
