  Profession: Space Mechanic
  Father: Gideon Corbett (Deceased)
  Mother: Serene Corbett (Deceased)
  Uncle: Jimmy Corbett
  Physical Description: Dark hair, emerald green eyes, light skin that is sometimes tanned or stained in motor oil and grease.
  Personality: Tomboy. Riley is a better mechanic then most men in the nearest two systems. She's got a feminine, petite body but she's pretty standoffish and sarcastic. She doesn't take any crap from men. But she doesn't associate well with girls so most of her friends are guys she's grown up or worked around.
  
  Riley was raised without a mother. Her mother passed away when she was two so her father Gideon was there to take care of her. Gideon was one of the best space mechanics in the five systems of the galaxy. Having been hired out by military officials, aristicrats and more, he made a good living. Rileys mother was the daughter of one of these aristocrats and they fell in love and married despite her living in a social standing less then what she was used to.
  
  Gideon was always known for bringing Riley along in his job and she was a great helper. She learned the trick her father had at an early age. The ability to "listen" to what the machines were talking to you about so you could fix them properly. She was a prodigy.
  
  One day a military space ship was attacked by space pirates and Gideon managed to defend his daughter and send her, with a letter, in a small shuttle, to an outcast planet off to the ends of the solar system. Riley had to watch the ship her father was on blow up. She was twelve.
  
  Her uncle owned a run down spaceship repair shop in one of the low towns on an outskirts planet. A dust bowl that had criminals and scum. He was one of them. Dirt bag of the dirtiest. He had a shop with plenty of mechanics that overcharged and didn't work their weight. Riley was passed most of the hardest atuff but no one gave her the credit. For the first few years she worked without much pay, earning her room and board with her uncle. He as a sleaze bag with a bad temper. The one man she had a problem standing up to. You would too if your youth was surrounded in neglect, beatings and you were insulted and talked down to. Puberty wad the worst when a planet full of men started to react to her.
  
  In a system were most mechanics were male, finding a female was usually untrusted. So whenever someone would see she was a female, shed have to earn the work or lose it to someone who would charge more and not do nearly a good enough job. Even if she was the most commonly referred to mechanic by word of mouth. But Riley was a very misunderstanding name.
  
  But she had a few friends. She had parts suppliers that made sure she got good deals, the tavern keep kept an eye on her as a personal favor to her father and a few more kind people. She vowed to one day get off that planet and away from her uncle.. it just never happened. But maybe one day.
  
  After all.. She's a damn good mechanic.
