Karter

Karter is a Cernian: a deer-transhuman from the planet Eden. She is curious and playful, but also has a bold and dramatic side. She was exiled from her home planet and has traveled to New Violet to explore beyond the stars and to find adventure along the way.

Bio
Karter was 20 earth years when her father found out of her treason. She snuck into the Chloris XIII crash site, and was sentenced to death. Her father begged the elders, the other colony leaders to forgive his daughter, to exile her away from Eden - a fate worse than death he explained. A decision was made, and the daughter of the Cernian colony chief was to be exiled. Her colony crafted a pod made from metalloids found in the oceans and thrust her into space to drift forever.

Though she had been caught, she had been sneaking into the crash site for years. She’d gathered whatever she pleased, watched videos the scientists had recorded before their sleep, learned their language, read the works that survived the crash, played around with the technology it left behind. She knew the life she was born into was not meant for her.

She wasn’t allowed to bring anything to her exile but when the time came she managed to sneak some of her crash site resources in to the pod with her. When the pod was completed she said goodbye to her world, to her father. Knowing the exile was to save her, she kissed him goodbye. One thing she was able to take was a small transmitter she hoped she had gotten to work. It felt like days before she came across another craft, shouting into the void, hoping someone would come across her before she was pulled into any planets. A rubble ship picked her up, and as she stepped out of her pod she heard a laugh.

“What the hell is that?” Something asks. She couldn’t see what was speaking, there was no window in her pod and her eyes hadn’t adjusted to light room. It speaks again as she gains her vision. “Where did it even come from?” Something she can only guess is human approaches her curiously.

“Calm down why don’t we just ask,” another voice says. Still somewhat blinded she realizes she’s on the floor. The figure sits in front of her. “How about your name then?” it asks. She smiles and for the first time says “My name is Karter and I would like to go to New Violet.”
