KAYLA RYE
Career
ROUGHNECK
Appearance
Kayla Rye has a lean build, a result of the physical demands of her job. Her short, messy black hair often falls into her sharp, tired eyes, reflecting her constant state of fatigue and frustration. She has a pale complexion, marked by the occasional grease smudge from working in the ship's guts. Her attire is practical and worn, consisting of a standard-issue technician's jumpsuit with various tools hanging from her belt.
Personal Agenda
Kayla Rye was just 23, but she felt much older. The weight of responsibility had aged her beyond her years. Growing up with a chronically ill younger brother and a family always in need of financial support, Kayla had taken on the role of primary breadwinner. This burden had made her bitter and resentful, especially given her job as a technician on the USCSS Montero—a role that was both demanding and underpaid.
Every day, Kayla watched her crewmates earn more for seemingly doing less, a sight that only deepened her frustration. Her job was critical to the ship’s operations; without her, the Montero would likely fall apart. Yet, she felt undervalued and underpaid. The constant pressure to send money home added to her dissatisfaction, making her desperate for any opportunity to increase her earnings.
Despite her bitterness, Kayla was a highly skilled technician. Her proficiency in maintaining and repairing the ship’s systems made her indispensable. Her sharp eyes, though often tired, missed nothing when it came to diagnosing technical issues. Her short, messy black hair and lean build gave her a rugged, almost defiant appearance. She wore a standard-issue technician's jumpsuit, practical and worn, with various tools hanging from her belt—symbols of her hard work and dedication.
Kayla’s bitterness often manifested in cynical and negative attitudes. She felt trapped in a thankless job, harboring ill will towards her crewmates and the company. Her family’s financial needs made her willing to take risks and cut corners. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and Kayla was constantly looking for ways to earn more money, even if it meant betraying the trust of her colleagues.
