POSITIVE TRAITS Kind, friendly, intelligent, agile (physical and mental), can be funny. Always knows the right thing to say. Can be girly, but she drops it the moment she steps aboard the ship and becomes the professional that a pilot needs to be.
NEGATIVE TRAITS Can sometimes be arrogant, fairly stubborn, is not often afraid to say what she thinks, even if it will get her in trouble.
LIKES Flying, space, shore leave (particularly on Earth or the Citadel).
DISLIKES Prejudiced people, people with no morals, people who play god.
FEARS Anything bigger than a rachni; something like a thresher maw would terrify Arryn. If she is aboard her ship while seeing them, however, she has no problem dealing with them. She is also slightly afraid of spiders, and detests rats.
QUIRKS Will get on well with most people, if they are willing to talk. If they are not, she will try her best to encourage them to talk by continuing to be friendly and asking open questions.
COMBAT
WEAPON An old yet powerful M-6 Carnifex pistol, strapped to her leg wherever she goes for safety.
FIGHTING STYLE Can use assault rifles as taught in basic training, and adept with her pistol, but otherwise prefers to use her ship to do her fighting for her; and she is very good at doing so.
BIOGRAPHY
Arryn was born five years after the Reaper War, when the galaxy was just starting to get back to business as usual. Her father captained his own ship in the rebuilt Alliance Fifth Fleet, while her mother was a banker in London, employed by a successful bank founded by an enterprising volus during the rebuild period after the Reaper War. As such, Arryn found herself in London quite often, and once she grew older, she began to appreciate the David Anderson War Memorial that she saw almost every day on her way to the private school on the other side of the city. The memorial, combined with her father's beautiful and awe-inspiring stories of his adventures with the Alliance Navy, made her decide that she wanted to be a part of it, though she was still unsure which part.
After completing her courses at the private school with straight As, she went on to university and studied Spacecraft Engineering, learning all about the systems of a standard Alliance ship. Frigates especially interested her, particularly after learning all about the Normandy SR-2 ship that Admiral Shepard had led the fleets of the galaxy into battle with. She learned about the mass effect drives that were so crucial to intra-galactic travel, and how best to work on certain problems. Everything pointed toward her being a ship's chief engineer.
However, one week, the university offered its students the chance to sit at the controls of the flight simulator used by the Alliance to test its potential pilots. Once Arryn sat down and took off, she knew immediately that this was the life for her. She was a natural; she flew the imaginary ship to all the regulations she knew, and some she didn't. She wasn't perfect, of course; the programmer, noticing her skill, decided to program in an unexpected asteroid field. Arryn, upon taking a mass relay directly into the asteroid field, panicked, and crashed into one of the asteroids, resulting in the death of every imaginary soldier on board. Even so, the Alliance recognized her as an excellent pilot.
Upon her graduation from university, the Alliance immediately recruited her into their pilot school, sending her through basic training with everyone else before she began with her specialization.
And now, she has completed her final exams and tests; the Alliance has assigned her to the SSV Liberator, a Normandy-class vessel which would be undergoing a top-secret mission and needed a top pilot. This alone made her incredibly excited; to be flying a ship almost identical to the one commanded by Jane Shepard! But then, she was also told to catch an Alliance shuttle to the Citadel, and report to the Council chambers as soon as possible. Her excitement is almost outweighed by her discomfort; to be so young and asked to meet the Council for what seemed to be an incredibly important mission. Even so, she still looks forward to her job flying the Liberator, and hopes that she will be led by a captain even half as great as Shepard herself.
EXPERIENCE
ONE SUCCESS As part of her final test at the pilot school, she was sent into an asteroid field much like the one she faced in her first experience behind the controls. This time, however, she didn't panic; she slowed her breathing and focused, and managed to navigate the asteroid field without so much as a scratch.
ONE PROBLEM - SOLVED In one of her team training exercises, she was placed behind the controls of the simulator with an engineer who was adequate, at best. They were coming up on a mass relay, and their mass effect drive was down - the engineer hadn't noticed. Arryn noticed this with not a minute to spare, and informed the engineer, who promptly made the required repairs. The official report of the exercise was that Arryn, co-operating with the engineer, saved the entire ship from being torn apart by the mass relay.
ONE PROBLEM - FAILED In another exercise, she was required to complete a test that was designed to be extremely difficult, as a real-life situation might well be. She was faced with dozens of enemy ships around a small planet, and was told to get past without alerting them. That meant utilizing the cloaking device, and travelling extremely close to the planet's atmosphere. The simulated ship began to burn up due to Arryn being too cautious and dropping too far, so she lifted the ship out of the upper atmosphere; unfortunately, the enemy ships noticed the huge energy signature that was generated when she was forced to push the ship upwards and out of the atmosphere, and the ship was subsequently obliterated. She accepted responsibility for the exercise's failure, and learnt from her mistake.
