History:

Skyalin never really enjoyed her life with her parents. She'd always felt that her parents had loved her brother much more than her. This resulted in Skyalin being a very hard, unsociable kind of person. She kept to herself, relied only on herself and prevented anyone ever getting to know her. It was how she liked it, despite people thinking otherwise. Her repeated self mutilation, and her violent reaction to people who had tried to help her, kept anyone from trying to give her aid, eventually. By the age of 16 she'd decided she would soon leave this awful and boring planet on which she had been force to live her whole life. Maybe she would even find some people that saw her as more than a crazy freak that wasn't worth their trouble, but she doubted it. Leaving the planet would be enough to improve her life immensely, even if she didn't have anywhere to go.

As soon as she'd run out of uses for her not so loving parents, she left home. Hopping a cargo ship with an old friend, her only friend, and then getting free flights off anyone she could convince, she eventually found her way to Tadath where she met Kiption. She'd wandered space with no particular destination and not very much money for 2 years. This member of the Empire had been the first person to take notice of her in that entire time. After a few drinks and some persuasion Kiption managed to get her to join the Vast Empire Army. And unlike most, or all, of the other women Kiption had ever tried to talk to, Skyalin didn't even attempt to hit him. She of course wouldn't have slapped him, it would have been a quite forceful punch if anything. He'd had the common sense not to drink as much as Skyalin had, at least.
