OOC: Info Post!

Not that there's a ton to know about my new girl, here, but she does have an interesting backstory and she's bringing a spaceship, so:



  • Faye is from Cowboy Bebop, which is an anime that ran in the late nineties into the early aughts. It consists of 26 half-hour episodes, though they call them 'sessions,' and a movie that is totally fine.

  • The opening credits are beautiful.

  • Cowboy Bebop is like if you took the world of Firefly, added a bunch of Star Wars-style bounty hunters, removed all the aliens, and added a bunch of jazz. Like The Mandalorian except with a Corgi instead of Baby Yoda. Like Blade Runner, but with drug dealers instead of replicants.

  • Which is to say: Faye is from space, and she is bringing her spaceship to the island, and will be parking it in the junkyard






  • 23 years old, though she's technically 77.

  • I know, that's confusing, right? So the thing is, Faye was in a space shuttle accident when she was 14. Her parents, who were with her, died, but Faye was cryogenically frozen. When she was pulled out of her deep sleep some 60 years later, Faye had absolutely no memory of who she was before she woke up.

  • Anyway, the guy who woke her up? Totally bad news. So Faye took off on him, and has been skipping and conning her way across the solar system since. (That was three years ago.)

  • Faye is not nice. She might act nice, but she generally is just trying to get something out of you.

  • She's a con artist, which means that if you ever see her playing a game, she is almost certainly cheating at it. If she tells you a story that seems really sad or heartstring-tuggy, it's probably mostly a lie.

  • Generally kind of an entitled brat. I cannot emphasize this enough. She thinks she's real cute and tries to get away with everything in the world.

  • Physically, she is tall and willowy and all legs and boobs. Although I am a huge fan of her incredibly practical canon outfit, treat that as a general idea of her aesthetic. She has violet hair cut in an angular bob and green eyes, and I'm using Daniella Pineda for a live-action PB since she's been cast as Faye in the upcoming Netflix series.

  • She also probably smells like she smokes because she totally smokes. Like a lot.










So the thing is, Faye is totally a thief and a con artist. Do you have something shiny that you'd like her to steal? I can do that! Faye is not an especially cunning criminal, since she mostly relies on her own charm to get away with things, so there is literally no crime too petty, here.

Are you a do-gooder who would like to catch Faye committing some NPC crimes? Can do, too! Drop me a line and let me know, and we can totally work something out. Faye is here for all your crimes-we-can't-blame-on-raccoon needs.

And that's it! Questions? Comments? Seasonally-appropriate pies?
