* The most striking part of the pirates face is her "horns", really her Montreals, and which in battle she will often times paint with fake blood, but the rest of her face is also rather attractive, even with an oval face shape, with her almond shaped eyes, full lips and high nose.

	+ When she is not on a raid or doesn't need to show off so to speak, she will usually wear a white tank top and a black skirt with pockets that reaches past her knees but with a matching fleece lined black jacket and stockings.
	+ When she needs to convince other people she means business, she wears a much more elaborate outfit of a floor length dress covered in gold and red durasteel scales but the gown shows her cleavage and upper arms (she wears special vanguards on her forearms) she also wears a cloak made of armour weave and coloured red and gold as well.

### Personality/Skills

#### Positive personality traits:

* Although she cares little for people not part of her in group, she is fiercely productive of those in her "in group" most of them the crews of her ships but over the years she has become friends with a number of people across the Galaxy who might be willing to help her out.

#### Negative personality traits:

* She is frankly, a little sociopathic towards those who aren't members of the Blazing chain, and will see little harm in selling the crew of a captured ship into slavery or worse in exchange for a few credits.

### Background

(It is recommended that you cover your character’s youth & upbringing, as well as how they learned the particularly noteworthy skills they use in their lives in at least four paragraphs)

#### 0-8

* + Ruby is the latest member of the Taur family, a clan of Kessurians who upon joining the blazing chain five generations ago after the Blood Horns fleet raided the Sarnix system and the family patriarch of the time impressed the Ardcap with the family’s force abilities and convinced the Ardcap to let the family join their fleet, first as simple warriors but thirty years before Ruby’s birth her grandfather captured a cr-90 corvette and was allowed to become captain of the ship. Naming it the Golden Caress it became the family’s home and fortress along with crew from other ships and new converts to the chain.
	+ It was aboard the Golden Caress in fact,  that Ruby was born and where some of her earliest memories were formed, namely of playing with her mother in her family's apartment on top while her father commanded the ship during battles against "prey" while Ruby used the force to play with her toys, with mother encouraging the behavior so that in the future Ruby would be stronger in the force. But when her father and his crew would finish a raid, the Taurs would join the crew in the mess Hall for a celebration feasts before the loot was ceremonially divided up amongst all based on their rank aboard the ship and the coin ferried to the fleet flagship for safe keeping.

#### 9-16

* + when she was ten, A blazing chainer on another ship took Ruby on as an apprentice and soon began teaching her all that they knew about the force and more importantly being a good pirate. As such, her training began with her being blindfolded and an old Droid hitting her with a foam stick repeatedly until she learned how to predict where she would be hit and use her blade or the force to deflect or dodge it reflectively,

#### 17-24

* + when Ruby came of age, tragedy struck, and during one of their many raids, her parents were killed when the boarding shuttle they were aboard was explored by a photon torpedo launched by the cargo ship they were trying to capture. Killing them and their squad instantly, so that was some solace for the girl when she had to watch her parent’s bedding, (a custom amongst the Blazing horns when someone dies without leaving a body behind is to space their bedding in a coffin to represent them) but after her parent’s untimely, despite living longer than most pirates would, demise, Ruby became more withdrawn and often times found solace by spending time with her older friend who was the daughter of the Bloody Horn’s Adcap. But perhaps the biggest change for Ruby, besides of course the loss of her parents before she truly felt ready was the newfound responsibility placed upon her by the fact that as she had come to age, she inherited her family’s ship and their accounts in the fleet bank meaning overnight Ruby was a wealthy woman as in addition to her own shares her parents had used their coins to invest across the galaxy, namely due to using an agency ran by a certain Bothan. However unlike her parents who saved the money, Ruby spend a large chunk of it on updating the ship's weaponry to more "modern" gear.
	+ The first raid Ruby ever commanded was a disaster, although in the end, her crew won and were able to take all they could from the ship, It wasn't because of Ruby that they won, and instead was the direct result of a more experienced Blazer taking the lead when Ruby had a minor panic attack at how daunting the challenge of organizing and commanding the raid was. You see, what had happened is that when the Golden Caress was away from the bulk of the fleet in order to get some alone time so to speak, when they had picked up a distress call from what they thought was an explorer-ship, but when they arrived they found that it was actually a Q-ship of sorts and when they boarded the ship they found a squadron of Dark Jedi trying to establish themselves in the area and so had to wipe out the competition. The fighting was brutal and many blazer’s died, but in the end, after a Blazer with experience fighting lightsabers took over from Ruby after she had a panic attack and was almost skewered. The Blazers were able to wipe out all of the Dark Jedi and take their loot for themselves, with a few even taking their lightsabers and teaching themselves how to use the blades. But Ruby was not one of those who did.

#### 25-30

* + Perhaps the most successful raid in Ruby’s life happened one day in her late twenties when the fleet was in the outer rim and spotted a convoy of drone ships carrying a cargo of ore from a mining colony to market, but unfortunately for the owners and fortunately for the Blazers, the ships were only armed with point defense guns for protection against asteroids they might wander across the path of, That, coupled with the skill of their gunnery teams, enabled the fleet to take out the droid brains in the ship and hook their own ships to the cargo ships and haul them to a shadowport to be sold, netting the fleet several million credits which they soon spent on repairs, food, and partners~. Something that many of the pirates enjoyed, Ruby amongst them, but perhaps the most noteworthy outcome or the success was the pride and respect she began getting from her fellow captains for being the first to hear the distress call.

#### 31-34

* + When the Adacap of the fleet died, the captains gathered together in order to vote and the three Captains who wanted to declare themselves as the new Adacap took turns trying to convince their fellow captains why they should be the new leader, for a week the captains bickered and debated, until they made their decision of making the daughter of the former Adacap to be the new one, this caused the now very upset and angry Ruby to return to her ship to sulk at her defeat, for weeks she stayed in her quarters until she had a bright idea! She would take a few ships, and take them as a small flotilla to roam "known space", although to residents of unknown space the names are reversed.
	+ At some point in her wanderings she came across the Weequay pirate Ves while the duo were after the same shipment of former imperial missiles, newly freed by a moff going rogue in the wake of Emperor Jag becoming Emperor, And at first, the two women fought bitterly over the Lamda shuttle carrying the missiles, but upon seeing the two were evenly matched, Ruby made the offer of a truce, and when the other women agreed in exchange for half the profit of selling the missiles on the black market, Ruby readily agreed, planning on double crossing the Weequay when the two could battle in person, but when she saw how skilled she was with her electrostaffs, Ruby decided to herself that she shouldn't double cross the Weequay and would instead end up recruiting her to serve as her right hand.
