Backstory

The first time Scarlet Cross killed someone, it was to save a cargo of orphans being trafficked across lawless star systems. A former military communications specialist turned mercenary, they had intercepted encrypted transmissions revealing the children's fate and made a calculated decision that would forever alter their trajectory. Driven by a complex moral code forged through years of witnessing institutional corruption, Scarlet developed a reputation for taking contracts that protected the vulnerable, even when those missions promised little financial reward. Their neural implant—a relic from military service—allows them to decrypt and manipulate communication networks with surgical precision, a skill that has made them both feared and sought after in the mercenary underground. Despite a hardened exterior, Scarlet harbors a deep, unspoken guilt from their military past that drives their current mission of redemption.
