About Scherzo VivacissimoBackground:
Kalistocrat Childhood: You grew up in a family that followed the Prophecies of Kalistrade. Since these prophecies insist on celibacy, you and your siblings were all adopted, and your parents filled your head with the idea that the zeros in your credit balance measured your success in life. When you became an adult, you left home and abandoned the religion, alienating your parents and your sister, Eline, who has continued to rise in the organization. Now, she works as an Executive Vice President in the Company. The two of you haven’t spoken in years, but fortunately, the executive level might as well be another star system. She almost certainly doesn’t know you’re also employed by EJ Corp. Theme:
Noble Scion You were born into a position of power and privilege. You might be an actual aristocrat or another member of the upper class, such as the relative of a politician, business magnate, or famous celebrity. Whatever your background, you were raised to be a member of high society, and you are as comfortable with alien diplomats as you are at a fashionable party. You can draw on your family’s resources to ease your way through life, so the galaxy is yours to enjoy! Race/Planet:
Human Ambitious, creative, and endlessly curious, humans have shown more drive to explore their system and the universe beyond than any of their neighbor races—for better and for worse. They’ve helped usher in a new era of system-wide communication and organization and are admired for their passion and tenacity, but their tendency to shoot first and think about the consequences later can make them a liability for those races otherwise inclined to work with them.

Scherzo started life as Brighten Reisora, growing up in Qabarat, Castrovel, the youngest daughter of a rich family prominent in the Kalistocracy as the followers of the Prophecies of Kalistrade are usually called. As such she was raised to be an upright, virtuous, overachiever, given the best education, and groomed for a position of influence once she made her way in the world of finance and business. The problem was that little Brighten hated everything about the religion. They frowned on frivolous activities such as games or dancing, made everyone wear dull white clothes, and admonished young people to avoid sex except to procreate and to avoid even that if possible. Both Brighten and her sister Eline were adopted. She has never been able to determine her true parents, although she was told they were part of the ill-fated Starfinder adventure that led many to their deaths in a far off part of the Vast.
Brighten was just the opposite of what her parents wanted her to be. She wanted nothing so much as to be a musician and travel the Pact Worlds exploring the known space and eventually, traveling farther to see what was out there. She put up with her family's restrictions until she turned 21 and had completed her university training. Special tutors taught her the art of diplomacy and intimidation, as well as history and psychology, all part of the game of getting ahead in the cut-throat world of the business world. When she got her first chance to travel alone as a graduation present, she traveled to Absalom, found some lawyers to process a legal name change, adopting the name Scherzo Vivacissimo, musical terms that sounded suitably exotic and as far as possible from the strange names used by the Cult, as she thought of the religion. She sent a message to her parents breaking ties with them and requesting that they let her live her own life. The family made some attempts to lure her back, including a lawyer who found her and told her she could take advantage of a stipend of 100 credits a week, if she would return home and take advantage of offers of employment made by influential friends of her family. She refused, but the lawyer took a liking to her and managed to set up a fund that banked the money on the sly and sent her word on how the money could be accessed. Scherzo kept the information, for emergencies, but she vowed that she would do everything she could to make her own way in life and did not access the money for a long time. She tried to make it as a musician for a while. She was an excellent player of the synth-violin, an electric violin which involved complex synthesizer modifications of the basic tones produced by the instrument's strings. She was successful at making enough money to live and had many adventures, romantic flings, and even some rough and tumble when she got mugged at one point and caught up in a gang fight at a club. But she hit on hard times after she ticked off an influential talent agent who made unwanted sexual favors a condition for getting booked at the best clubs. Scherzo refused and soon found herself blackballed and only able to perform at low-life dives. She grew tired of this, and found the life of a poor person not as romantic as she had imagined it to be when chaffing at the conspicuous consumption practiced by her family. She faced facts that she'd need to work a normal job until she could get back to performing her music. She applied at various corporations but found that without help of her family, she had trouble getting any offers that she thought she could stomach. She interviewed with EJ Corporation, who put her through more than the customary interview. They gave her aptitude tests, gave her VR tests where she had to use various skills, including fighting, negotiating, reading body language, and manage a variety of situations involving unknown species. At the end of it all, they offered her a position on a space freighter. She was surprised, since she did not think she had any skills relevant to that. But the Company said that they valued her ability to deal with interpersonal problems that often arose during long trips through the drift. Also crews often had to negotiate deals and they viewed her test results as showing potential for just such a job. Scherzo was naïve enough to believe the Company's promises of high pay and bonuses, not yet realizing how the fine print of her employment agreement included lots of conditions which would result in much lower pay than she expected. But at the moment, she was thrilled to be able to travel and to be really free from meddling by her parents and their ridiculous religion. Description:
