Selmara Beltran

**Selmara Beltran** was a female Human colonist and ex-convict from the planet Cassiopeia Prime who helped establish a United Cassiopeian Republic colonial presence on the planet Gaeron. Beltran took part in establishing the Lonhe colony after becoming stranded on Gaeron alongside three other colonists, whom she worked closely with: Alyssa Sanidine Orchard, Dalila Vaascosa, and September Bridges.

## Biography

### Early Life and Spotlight

In 5554 ASA, Selmara Beltran was born on the capital of the UCR, Cassiopeia Prime, where grew up as a child star, often partaking in acting roles for films and episodic shows broadcasted on the Runestone Network. This lifestyle gave Beltran many connections and experiences throughout the Cassiopeia Galaxy.

But she later renounced this public life in favor of something new.

### Criminal Activities

By the time she was an adult, Beltran abandoned the spotlight and fell into the criminal underworld. She grew to resent how ever-present on RuneNet she was and learned to appreciate her own privacy in the shadows. Selmara took up quite an interest in academia, in contrast, and became well-versed in the principles of research as a way of making up for the schooling she missed out on as a child star. She eventually became a member of a major criminal syndicate, using manipulation and deception to get her way. She lived this life of crime for many years, until she was eventually arrested during a particular incident that resulted in the deaths of several people.

### Crash-landing on Gaeron

Prison-life mellowed out Beltran significantly, but never wore away her tough exterior. Having been in prison for many years, Beltran was eventually released and put on parole in the year 5600 ASA, when she was 46 years old. Her debt to society could be paid by aiding in the colonization of Kavriisha, a planet on the very edge of the southeastern reaches of the Central Expanse that was in the eyes of the UCR. Unable to return to her former syndicate, and having little to no desire to, Beltran found this colonization project to be the only thing she could stand for in life after prison.

## Personality and Traits

Selmara was a Human woman with freckled dark-toned skin, brown hair, and eyes colored like medium-toned rubies. She often kept her hair in two tails, even in adulthood.

A known pessimist, Selmara had a cynical outlook on the world and simply worked to get through the day. While she did not find much difficult in working with others, Beltran was accustomed to a rather apathetic attitude towards many things in life. However, this didn't mean that she was devoid of any moral compass whatsoever. Beltran was often the first person within the colony to take offensive action when met with raiders, pirates, or wild animal attacks. She had a tough exterior and thick skin, able to take more hits than the average person and able to take on tasks that required difficult labor. While some found her rather abrasive or simply unapproachable on first sight, those who knew Beltran were aware of how much she cared for the wellbeing of the colony, as it was the last thing she truly found herself standing for.

When she was still a member of a criminal syndicate, Selmara used manipulation and deception on her associates in order to get what she wanted. After doing time in prison, she learned to grow out of this habit and began to form genuine connections with others out of respect and worth. Many were surprised to find how wise and learned Beltran was, as she could conduct large amounts of research for the colony with ease.

## Skills and Abilities

As a former member of a criminal syndicate, Selmara was skilled at handling firearms and was fully capable in combat. She was physically strong and at the same time was well-versed in academia.
