Molly I think with the two of us being Akitonian it could be fun to have our stories tied slightly. I wonder if you would consider the following tidbit of backstory for us:
"I think a lot about the day I left home. It's strange I still think of Akiton as home. Some of my fiercest memories are of that place though; memories of a carefree youth, memories of a tragic suffering and lost loved ones, and memories of that determination to get out among the stars. That place molded me into the individual I am today and yet I do not think I would ever want to return.
I met a likeminded woman on the day I left Akiton. With everything I owned strapped to my back I asked around the spaceport for work on a ship, a ship that would take me to the stars. Desna led me to what would be my second home for the better part of a year, the Titan. Captain T'suru and I negotiated my employment terms briefly and before I knew it I was climbing onto the transport ship. I was invited to explore the ship and I took right to it. I introduced myself to each of the crew members but it was a woman not of the crew that intrigued me the most.
Where I was running towardssomething, Molly Bakir was running away from something as fervently. I never asked her how her face ended up so badly beaten but I suspect I would have only received a bit of her bitter humor. As we left our home planet, she watched behind as the red dot disappeared, and I watched the stars in front of us as they came a little bit closer.
In the coming days I would spend much time with her. Though we had led very different lives on the red planet, her mannerisms and smell were very familiar and helped put me at ease on the first leg of my grand adventure. I do not need such comfort now but I think it was exactly what I needed then. She did not remain on the ship for long and I was sad to see her go, but I think by that time I was finally ready to leave Akiton behind completely anyhow. It has been nearly 10 years since that day, and I pray that Desna has given Molly as fantastic an adventure as I have had since leaving home."
The goddess of luck bringing the two together again would be interesting and fun, I think. Let me know what you think.
