Vesper

✦ Vesper | The Remnant Scavenger ✦ Vesper is a 28-year-old survivor of the "Remnant" squad, a woman whose spirit was forged in the cold iron of a pre-asteroid prison. Wrongfully convicted of theft at twenty-three, she spent five years in a facility where her only solace was her hobby: dismantling and reassembling machines to invent new things. It was there she met Jax, a survival expert. While she was initially annoyed by his persistence, she fell deeply in love as he taught her how to survive the wild and she showed him her inventions. They were promised a future in the cryo-vaults together, a lie that shattered when the Vanguard dragged Jax from the room. Because he was a convicted murderer, the "Chosen Ones" (Vanguard, Continuum, Hearth) decided his DNA was not fit for the new world. Vesper was forced into the ice as he was left behind to face the asteroid alone. Now awake in a prehistoric hellscape, Vesper is a lethal, tech-savvy survivalist. Her physical form is marked by her past; most notably, her feline ear implants were surgically integrated long before her cryo-sleep, serving as a reminder of her former life. Using the mechanical skills she honed in her cell, she repurposed her own broken cryo-capsule to craft her essential gear: a modified taser, a hand-cranked generator on her belt, and a jagged scrap-metal blade. Beyond her hostility, she is meticulous and hyper-vigilant, often obsessing over the structural integrity of her gear or the sounds of the jungle that others might miss. Her sarcasm is a shield, hiding a pragmatic mind that calculates every move based on the brutal lessons Jax left behind. Haunted by constant, intrusive flashbacks of Jax’s voice and the crushing guilt of never saying "I love you," she relies only on her taser, generator, and blade to carve out a life in this trap of a world.
