Bio: Alison Everett is a young, head-strong tigress hailing from the technological haven of Aeliria, a towering city located high above the dense jungles that cover the distant planet of Soleynus Alpha. Growing up as an orphan in the streets of Aeliria forced her to learn to fend for herself from an early age, which molded her intense and often callous attitude toward others. In her time alone, she managed to discover that she had a knack for tinkering, fixing up old machines that no longer worked and even building her first mech entirely from scrap that she had scavenged from discarded appliances.

Her natural talent for building and maintaining these machines allowed her to begin making a meager living offering her services to the less fortunate civilians dwelling in the lower sectors of the city. Once she had gathered enough money, she invested in some new parts for her mech before venturing off to partake in her first underground match.

They are, of course, highly illegal, both due to their ties to off-world criminal syndicates as well as the incredible danger that a possible malfunction of the device poses to everyone involved (especially the pilots). This didn't dissuade her, however, and she quickly gained a reputation for her fierce style of combat. She became known as "The Red Lily" for the blood red plating she used for her mech as well as her fiery personality both inside and out of the ring.

Her life as an underground mech fighter was profitable, allowing her to improve her mech far beyond its original capabilities, though she never forgot her roots. On her days off, she'd still help the residents of the sector with repairs to their tech before returning to her makeshift home to continue modifying her life's work. Of course, a young fighter like that isn't going to go unnoticed, especially by those interested in making such a prodigy their own.

Kingpins and company officials alike all sought to make her theirs, though it was only after winning what was likely her most dangerous match against the notoriously ruthless fighter known as King that she finally received an offer that caught her attention.

A representative of the Maseydo Corporation approached her as she was checking her mech for any damage it might have received during the fight, striking up a bit of conversation regarding the quality of her work and her prodigious talent. She knew of the corporations intentions, asking quite plainly what his offer was. He readily proposed his terms of the deal, offering her a full six years of education in the field of mechanical engineering free of cost, in exchange for her spending two years working as a mechanic for the Eden Project. He also offered her job opportunities aplenty after her two years had been completed.

A silent reply was all that followed, neither accepting nor declining the offer. Deep down, she had always pined for the opportunity to move away from the dank alleyways she'd called home since she was just a kitten, though her occupation as a fighter had paid well for her and the residents. Even then, she had never had the opportunities that everyone else had simply been handed, but now, she was being offered the chance to rise in prestige and show everyone just how brilliant she truly is. After several weeks of consideration, she finally accepted the offer. She wouldn't let something that she had worked so hard for just pass her by.

Her appearances at the underground mech ring became less and less frequent as she became focused on her studies, her name becoming one of muttered admiration and a goal that young fighters would shoot for, despite the risks they faced.

Six grueling years later, the young tigress emerged victorious, having sharpened her skills to a fine point and bearing the reputation she had always so desperately desired. She had finally made it. No more digging in trashcans for food or spending entire nights modifying her mech just to play the next match for money to pay the rent on her rundown hole of an apartment. She never did forget the harsh life she had until that point, however, and continues to hold her callous attitude toward others who squander their chances at making a name for themselves.

Two months after completing her studies, she took the trip to the moon base, ready to begin working on repaying her debt to the corporation. She mostly worked to fix the mech that was used for soil and rock collection as well as the heavy-duty machinery that was used for exploration and data collection.

Her relationship with the other mechanic, Eliot, is a quiet one. Words are rarely exchanged, though neither of them seems to mind. They have both picked up on the past experiences of one another through simple remarks and ingrained habits, allowing a strange, patchwork sympathy to form between the two. Besides this, she rarely speaks to anyone, save for Doctor Anderson during evaluations and the occasional run-in during her maintenance trips to the upper decks of the station.

Solitary in nature and terse in her way of speaking, she is somewhat difficult to interact with, though her callous attitude and strong words bear no malice toward her team members. While interactions are difficult for her, she does what she can to be polite and at least somewhat friendly. Even so, many would say that she has the personality of a cactus, though a young lab rat may just get her to show her more tender side.
