Bio: Charon II, a jungle planet on the outer rim. With its harsh environment and deadly wildlife, its colonizers were never meant to survive. Unofficially the colony was a way to dispose of the poor, criminal, insane, and otherwise unwanted. In its early years many people perished whether it be by disease, hunger, or all manner of unclassified alien species. Those who didn't find a way to escape had two choices: get busy living or get busy dying. Overtime Charon was purged of the weak and cowardly, only the strongest, toughest, meanest, and smartest survived. Charon was no longer a colony of outcasts, it became birthplace to the mightiest bounty hunters and mercenaries.
While Charon II was officially part of the SSA, it is less regulated and often overlooked due to its status. Thanks to this and its secluded location the colony has had much more contact with other alien species, especially the Aranites. Thus the people of Charon have more exposure to alien cultures and technology. Saint Lobella was the first human on Charon to master the use of Magica. She is revered for using her power to guide and lead the people of Charon during its dark and chaotic founding. After her death a sect was created in the church, the Order of the Rose. Worship of Saint Lobella became the norm, and she is often looked upon as an angelic almost god-like figure.
Acacia Camellia was born on Charon II and was lucky enough to survive the absurd death rates. Her parents died when she was young due to the war. Death is unfortunate but not uncommon in Charon II. Acacia was taken in by the Sisterhood of Thorns, the right hand of the Order of the Rose. She was taught to worship Saint Lobella and her teachings: kindness through strength. Like all members of the sisterhood she learned the ways of Magica and like all children of Lobella she learned the strength of survival.
Despite their reluctance the Colony of Charon II was forced to get more involved with the war. The small colony didn't add much to the the SSA's numbers, but they were some of the finest warriors. The top 7 members of the Sisterhood, including Acacia, formed an elite task force under the SSA. They were specialists that dealt mostly with Magica related missions, but weren't shy of a suicide mission every now and then. Eventually the war ended, giving Charon II the opportunity to break away from the SSA. But somebody saw Charon's warriors as too valuable to lose. The SSA decided to put pressure on the colony, first by trying to bribe them with supplies. But when that didn't work they obscured Saint Lobella's teachings for their own gain. Things escalated and the 7 Days War started. On one side was the SSA and New Believers, on the other was the True Believers and Sisterhood of Thorns. The war is often thought of as a massacre. The Sisterhood slayed soldier after soldier, and let Charon take the rest. But even with their might they couldn't fight forever. Acacia watched as her sisters fell in battle one by one. Eventually she was they only one left standing. She would've fought to the end, but she was the only person left to carry on the true teachings of Saint Lobella. So she escaped and spent the next few years as a wanderer.
The colony of Domitius Ardita was where Acacia had her first encounter with the Crimson Legion. It was a small back water farming colony with not much too offer beyond produce. Bandits had been raiding the colony regularly to resupply their ships with fresh food, so the colonists hired the Legion of fix their problems. Mercenaries, just faithless heathens who worship credits above all else. That's what Acacia used to think of them until she saw they were actually helping the colonists. So she lent them her steel and helped the Legion fight off the bandits once and for all. Afterwards they were impressed enough to offer Acacia a job. She took the opportunity as a chance to gather her strength so that she may one day return to reclaim her homeworld. Acacia has been with the Legion for a little over a month now and enjoys the luxury of bathing regularly.
