Personality traits: Tempo is an energetic girl, who always has music in her soul, and music running through her ears. This doesn't mean that she can't hear others though. Despite the fact that the music blasting through her headphones are always on maximum volume, she can hear the other crew members through a program she had set up into her headphones where dialogue is played to her in real time without disrupting the rhythm. This makes it seem like dialogue becomes lyrics to her, which is awesome. She tends to fly the ship according to the music, which may or may not be comfortable, depending on what's on the playlist right now. Tempo is also really friendly, and really wouldn't mind having companions to listen to music with, which is not too hard considering the insane volume of her music basically allowing anyone in her immediate vicinity to hear it. This also means she talks really loudly as well.
Background: Tempo was born and raised in Colony 566, a colony that was built as part of a social experiment where citizens were subject to loud music at all hours of the day. After several generations of this, Colony 566 became accustomed to music, with everybody being raised to keep the music in the soul. Tempo joined Colony 566's Orchestral Force Cadets at the age of 24; which, despite the name, is the national military pilot forces of the colony. She had hoped to explore the galaxy as a pilot in the military, but after a few years in service, she felt that the rhythm she had with the Orchestral Force Cadets was never in harmony to begin with. Unfortunately, leaving the forces after having been expertly trained for many years in the art of flying and weaponry was far more difficult than passing the entrance exam to begin with. She could never explore the galaxy in a life like this, since her colony needed her to defend it. So she made the very difficult decision of deserting her colony, never to return. Of course, she stole a small military vessel in order to escape and so she ended up with a small bounty on her head. Because of this, she decided that she should just go big or go home, and join a life of piracy. And this was a decision she would never regret. A few short years later, she met Milos in a run down bar somewhere deep in pirate territory, and at that point her ship had been very well worn. Tempo needed a new ship (and some friends), Milos needed to build a crew, and the rest is history.
Notes: Despite having little to no experience in hand to hand combat, she can improvise as well as it fits the rhythm. For example, when there is a particularly heavy bass drop, she can hit quite hard, and she can make some rapid jabs if the tempo in her music picks up. Of course, when the music becomes symphonic she takes on a more relaxed approach. This is no good for landing strong attacks. However, she does in fact have great knowledge in weaponry, considering her military background; and can identify weapons based purely on their sound, even when her music might be a distraction.
