Macy Graves. Why did your character join the RAC? She'd been on a ship previously with Reggie and his wife: once that exploded (literally), she'd gone back to Europa, that sad little colony where she worked the government ammunitions shop. When Reggie came back to ask her to join him on his new ship, it was ten times as thrilling as staying where she'd been. It was the second time she saw a future off-planet. What might they be doing now if they hadn't joined? She might've gotten up the guts to find her way onto another ship somehow, somewhere, but more likely she'd be waiting for someone to come get her. Macy is a loyal follower: she follows action, not incites it. When they picture their future, what do they see? The Tequila Sunrise. Or Reggie, maybe, is a better answer. She has a leader.
