	~~To listen to her prata and peep her skryt, most folk tend to assume Mac~~ is ~~new city Mariehamn~~, ~~sprung from the streets with gutterstain and plascrete in~~ her ~~DNA, but it's none of it~~ true. She~~'s old city pedigree born to parents~~ in ~~academia and~~ the ~~privilege of old money and status~~.		Not much is known for certain, about Astra Andasca- whatever her true name and history might be. She is almost certainly Finnish, and very likely served in the Navy for a period; some might speculate that she continues to do so, clandestinely.

	~~She knows the expectations~~ and ~~etiquettes of proper society. She won't use them. But she knows them~~.		It is exceedingly difficult to pin her down to a particular identity. Data is difficult to obtain, and files are heavily redacted, often containing contradictory information.

	~~The attack on the school had been so old world America~~, ~~but it had happened~~. ~~It had happened here. And she had lost everything. Friends. Her parents~~.		aliases/legends include: Ani Skell, Security Officer, Finnish Navy; Arya Aland, ecoterrorist group infiltration; Astrid Andunie, Archaeologist and treasure hunter; Asti Asbjorn, Privateer; Andja Aesir, Investigative Journalist; Adja Anduin, Medic; Astra Andasca, Close Protection/ Bounty Hunter, Former Naval Aviator; Cdr. Airica Arvid, Science Officer, Finnish Navy; various others (not all are fully backstopped).

	~~Her hands~~.		Present Legend: Astra Andasca attended the academy, and served in the Finnish Navy for three terms, as a helo pilot in the Coastal Brigade- primarily reconnaissance and special ops. (While she has ostensibly retired her naval commission, much of her contract work is still in the service of Finnish Naval Intelligence interests, and she effectively maintains her rank of Commander).

	~~The social system was good~~, ~~but no one ''really'' wanted to take in a burden of a girl~~, ~~and she inevitably slipped through the cracks. If not for Cutty~~, ~~a disgraced cybersurgeon stripped of his license~~ and ~~living~~ on ~~the streets of new city, things might have ended badly for her~~.		In the private sector, she has served as private pilot and security, close protection, and even taken on select bounties.

	~~Instead~~ a ~~whole new world opened up -~~ a ~~world where~~ the ~~liabilities~~ of ~~her life had~~ the ~~potential to become assets~~.		Original Dossier for Ani Skell legend:
			Obtained a degree in Law Enforcement, minoring in Oceanography and Arctic Studies, in return for a commission in the Finnish Navy. As a Cadet, Ani served under the Security Officer aboard the last icebreaker before it was decommissioned, in the very last of the dwindling polar ice.

	~~She learned computers and machines~~, ~~building~~ and ~~fixing them as easy as breathing~~.		Following graduation from the Academy in Helsinki, Ani was recruited directly into the Intelligence division, where she received training in the more esoteric arts of clandestine service. Her sheer presence in undercover scenarios balanced her utter lack, in the more technological studies that might otherwise be expected of her. When a role required it, she found she could learn the jargon, and bluster her way through.

	~~She would come~~ to ~~understand Cutty~~ and the ~~other familiar adults~~ that ~~drifted in~~ and ~~out~~ of ~~her life were criminals~~, but ~~by then they were also family~~, and the ~~real criminals were~~ the ~~ones despoiling~~ the ~~world around~~ her ~~for profit~~.		Ultimately, she achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander, before going rogue. Her love of the ocean and its creatures, on the brink of extinction, led her to embrace an emerging anarchic streak- and remain embedded within the ecoterrorist organization she had been infiltrating. The security service, it seemed, had no intention of enforcing any environmental protocols whatsoever. It became clear that both governments and corporations had given up on the terrestrial homeland of Earth. Ani was not ready to give up this particular fight. Not yet.

			While working undercover inside a terrorist cell, she crossed a number of lines, and has never looked back. Except to check for a tail, but that mode of tradecraft is mostly outdated. Ani now continues her fight where she may, while working to make ends meet with a motley assortment of hackers and outsiders, pirates all.

			Maintaining her ties with Dead Zone, she assists with enforcing the Helsinki Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area, now in a more effective (though extralegal) capacity.

			'''Tattoo:''' Traditional Raja emblem, derived from the old Finnish Border Guard, inked on her right upper arm.

To listen to her prata and peep her skryt, most folk tend to assume Mac is new city Mariehamn, sprung from the streets with gutterstain and plascrete in her DNA, but it's none of it true. She's old city pedigree born to parents in academia and the privilege of old money and status.

She knows the expectations and etiquettes of proper society. She won't use them. But she knows them.

The attack on the school had been so old world America, but it had happened. It had happened here. And she had lost everything. Friends. Her parents.

Her hands.

The social system was good, but no one ''really'' wanted to take in a burden of a girl, and she inevitably slipped through the cracks. If not for Cutty, a disgraced cybersurgeon stripped of his license and living on the streets of new city, things might have ended badly for her.

Instead a whole new world opened up - a world where the liabilities of her life had the potential to become assets.

She learned computers and machines, building and fixing them as easy as breathing.

She would come to understand Cutty and the other familiar adults that drifted in and out of her life were criminals, but by then they were also family, and the real criminals were the ones despoiling the world around her for profit.
