Bio:
Raela knows very little of her birth, what she does know, is that she was that she was born with various genetic enhancements and given tharsisites as soon as thet could take and that she was "adopted' by an extremely decentralized organization known as the Unheard and trained in the art of deception and theft. It is an organization with members dotted all throughout confederation space, carrying out infrequent action in Collective space, along with a significant presence in the Abyss. Was originally formed as an egalitarian revolutionary group at the turn of the 21st century on earth. Today, it acts as a 23rd century Robin Hood, stealing from the wealthy and providing aid to the poor through front organizations. Though it is often hired by wealthy people to use against each other. Some say this activity is merely it protecting itself by winning the hearts and minds of the down trodden, others say that this behavior is proof it maintains the morality of it's earlier days.
From a young, age Raela did work for the Unheard, her tharsisite abilities making her incredibly adept at reconnaissance and thievery. However as time went on what made her stood out was the capacity and at times penchant for violence she developed. Her skill, tharsites and genetically enhanced capacities making her a formidable foe in close quarters combat, even without the element of surprise. As Raela grew older, she found herself increasingly preferring missions that gave her the opportunity to fight, semi-legal mercenary groups and rival criminal syndicates that prayed upon the vulnerable conditions of the galactic poor.
As time went on, she grew frustrated with her inability to learn more about her past. She also realized that the Unheard's continued operations in the shadows meant that it could never achieve the lofty aims it once set for itself, while it increasingly seemed to her that the syndicate was simply becoming another way for the powerful to compete with each other, just with a brand that happened to come with some palliative aid to the less fortunate. To her, it just became another cog in the machine, without the legitimacy that came with at least being a legal cog.
Eventually, she left the Unheard. For their part, it wasn't that difficult for them to accept this, there was more risk in attempting to persecute those the left instead of just leaving them be and she'd been plenty useful for them. When it came to starting a new, legal life, it wasn't that heard for her to do so by moving to Mars, as most of her shadowy activity had occurred in the abyss rather than confederation space, nevermind the sol system.
Once there, she found that the most suitable use for her abilities would be with the Red Guard. Given it was that or join with a mercenary firm, the choice was not all that difficult for her. At the end of the day, she had skills and talents that could only be employed in certain positions, at joining the Red Guard was a lesser evil in using them. Besides, the thrill she received from successful covert action and violence was something she just couldn't give up.
