WIP Update: Lt Nayoo Hyraini (Patreon)

A few hours' progress. What do you think? It is probably obvious that Empires will be a change in tone and atmosphere (atmosphere will be a foremost thought in a space adventure, hohoho!) from my comedy stuff. 

BOHICA Blues will continue, of course, but I will devote a lot of time to this reboot adventure as well.

Obviously, this particular picture is not yet fully finished; I am still working on details and the design of the chair (meant to double as an escape capsule when mated with another component) is not 100% set. Stay tuned. 

Character:

So. Who is Nayoo Hyraini? She is one half of a duo (the other half will be introduced soon) that works together for the benefit of a mission, even though these two have serious (and well-deserved) doubts about each other. Those of you who saw the posted rough drafts for my Empires reboot, which I posted here a long, long time ago, will know what I mean. 

Nayoo (pronounced "Nigh-you" as in "Night" and "you") Hyraini (pronounced "Hih-RAY-nee", not "High-rainy") grew up on a "Second Expansion" world (more about that at a later date) in the Central Alliance and saw a future with few opportunities, at least from her perspective. She joined the Central Star Navy for a variety of reasons (adventure, a way out, seeking challenges, etc) and found herself quickly working her way to command a small expeditionary craft called a Corsair, a kind of combat assault and attack ship that is favored by breaching teams and special operations groups. 

She has had a run of good luck and enjoys her position, but events in the recent past and her need to consider her next career step have combined to fill her with some uncertainty about the future. In the brewing story,  she has a mission to fulfill with a person who could wind up being the push she needs to makes some decisions-- good or bad. 

I hope you enjoyed this appetizer and look forward to more in the future.
