Backstory

Cyndi Runolfsdottir is a tough, cynical woman whose bright smile is a carefully constructed lie, masking a core of pure resentment. She was born on a remote colony world in the Fat system, a hub of advanced biological research. As a youth, she was unwillingly subjected to experimental gene-therapies as part of the infamous "Chimera Project," a process that gifted her with uncanny resilience at the cost of her innocence. Her skin was woven with gengineered fibers, and her body chemistry altered to produce incredible toughness.

She was off-world on a rare cargo run when the Red Sun Dominion, in an act of ideological cleansing, collapsed her system's star to eradicate the cloning and genetic research facilities. From the cockpit of her small freighter, she watched her sun die, and with it, everyone she had ever known.

Not long after, Cyndi was picked up by the Red Sun after she was arrested for making a scene at a local tavern on Furyan. She was swiftly transported to the Don system work camps, where she just as swiftly escaped her captors and holed up with a small band of escapees in the mountains.

Her experiences have left her with a deep-seated hatred for the Red Sun Dominion and a profound distrust of any form of authority. She leverages her surprising durability and strength to survive, searching for a way to make the Dominion pay for what they did.
