Name: Lyra Corvus
Alias(es): The Valkyrie
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Status: Pirate
Rank: First Mate of the Mjollnir
Type: Human
Ethnicity: Scandinavian
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 134
Hair: Copper red (reddish gold), worn down to her hips, almost always held in a tight French braid that shortens the length to her lower back.
Eyes: Pale ice-blue
Physical Description: A very tall, very physically intimidating woman. Lyra’s body is tempered in toned muscle, not enough to make her overly masculine or unattractive per se, but plenty to convince others not to cross her lightly. Most of her height is in her long legs, and for those who can look past that and her forcefull, take-no-shit attitude, Lyra is more than passing pretty. She has twin black feather tattoos that span both forearms from elbow-junction to wrist, and matching ones that cover both sides of her back from shoulder to hip. She typically wears uniforms in black and blue, with silver trim—tight leather pants, top and cropped jacket with a wide belt set at an angle on her hips.
Talents and Skills: Lyra is at least passingly compitent in every area of running a ship and, if need be, could fill in adequately in any position if it needed filling. She’s also an expert street-style fighter, surprisingly strong for a woman and comfortable with a multitude of fire-arms, though she prefers “scatter guns” and large rifles that one doesn’t need a lot of accuracy with and only needs to fire once.
Powers: None
Character History: Lyra was born to Bjorn Corvus, best friend of Helm Thornvaald. She was raised on his knee to become a pirate just like him, and took to the business like a fish to water. She has overcome all sorts of adversities, not the least of which being a woman smack in the middle of a very male-dominated world. She demands respect and strict discipline in her crew, and usually gets it—through intimidation alone in most cases.
Lyra has a tendancy not to speak aloud very often, only when necessary, and generally in short, clipped orders to the crew when needful. She is also unflinchingly loyal to her childhood friend, Thorn—whom she views as a blood brother—and wouldn’t think twice about sacrificing herself for his safety. A frequent point of friendly contention between the two of them.
Equipment: Her main weapons are two large, short-barrel rifles, of which she keeps holstered on either hip. She also has a smaller side-arm holstered in the small of her back, and a dagger always tucked into one boot.
