=== Sunrise Dawson (RobertEdwards) ===
'''Scout Sunrise Dawson / Glisten / Humani / F / 28 / 6A6A83 / Medical Technician, Pilot'''

''Skills:'' Electronics-1, Medical-1, Pilot-1, Sensor Ops-1, Ship's Boat-1, Snub Pistol-1, Vacc Suit-1

''Notable Possessions:'' Cr30,000 or so, some in cash, most in the Scout Bank. Snub pistol, assault rifle. Picture of son. Nice and not-so-nice clothes. 

''Appearance:'' A cross between Jewel Strait's Kaylee, and Gretchen 'Redneck Woman' Wilson. Impractical long brown hair, a sharp chin, and gawky arms and legs; pretty when she makes the effort, but no sense of fashion.

''Background:'' Sunrise had been born in the Glisten Belt, and raised indifferently. When she was sixteen, she had made the mistake of conceiving and carrying an unlicensed child; her son, Joshua, was taken from her by the state, and she was branded a delinquent.

She tried to volunteer for the Scouts, but the black mark on her record stopped that… until a sympathetic recruiter had a word with the Draft board. 

She spent ten years in the service, saving what money she could between mandatory child support drafts. Her psych profile made her a perfect field scout, and she easily handled the alternation of x-boat duty and tender duty. 

A year ago, she'd been doing "traffic surveys" near the Sword Worlds border, and got captured. She was not a model POW, being a loud and opinionated pain in the ass, and earned a few bruises and some time "in the hole." Once free, scrubbed, and fed, she kept an eye out for likeable men, and sympathetic ear for women with similar experiences. 

During the course of this trip, she's been consistently in the front line, whether or not she knows what she's doing, to the point where the doctors have been considering strapping her down and sedating her to let her injuries heal… but only if she stops being so goddamn helpful.
