CHARACTER INFO.
✖ Character Name: Sun, Aeryn
✖ Canon: Farscape; just after her resurrection and before the events of Suns and Lovers.
✖ Character Appearance: 

✖ Character Age:

Sebacean lifespans are unclear in canon aside from being roughly over twice that of a human's, however Aeryn looks to be somewhere in her mid-thirties by our standards.

✖ Pick A Number: 15; 901

✖ Canon Setting:

Farscape is set in a universe that-- for the most part-- mirrors our own: the lead character John Crichton is a human from earth (modern earth if you count 1999 as anything remotely up to date) but it's still our earth. Typical science fiction shenanigans yank him from our known corner of the universe via slipping unintentionally through a wormhole, leaving him stranded in a place where free space travel is possible and hundreds of different alien races live, steal, mingle and wage war with one another.

Order in this foreign section of the galaxy order is maintained by a military presence known as the Peacekeepers. Unfortunately for the human lead in this show, Peacekeepers are aliens (Sebaceans, to be precise) that look exactly like humans. The only ones, actually-- and they also happen to be oppressive, cold, malicious and kind of evil. Scratch that, definitely evil.

And Aeryn Sun is one of them.

Or was, at least, before crossing paths with the only human ever to exist in their territory, finding herself blacklisted shortly thereafter as being 'irreversibly contaminated' in the eyes of the only society she's ever known.

✖ Character History: Once upon a time there was a soldier without social skills.

✖ Character Personality:

Aeryn is a soldier. Born and bred and whittled from the earliest age into the very definition of that word with all the expectations that go along with it-- which makes sense, given that Peacekeeper culture is (without a doubt) a military one in both structure and thought. It's a cold, stern life bracketed with discipline and peppered with a dash of anti-emotional propaganda: Peacekeepers don't love, they don't feel, and they live and die for the cause that is keeping the universe in check.

It's a remnant of the original, untwisted version of the reason for their creation when the Eidolons (a race dedicated to spreading harmony via telepathic eyeball wifi) decided they needed a race both dedicated and versatile enough to serve as...well, peace-keepers. Galactic vanguards.  And when the Eidolons vanished, their creations were left stranded without guidance, resulting in the typical slow slide into good intentions bad means territory; using force to keep the balance. And so on and so forth until what was left behind ages later was a group of fighters with a really badly interpreted set of guidelines and some crappy life choices.

So soldiers soldier on. Live as loyal, unwavering weapons and die when it serves the greater cause-- or when they're no longer an asset. And Aeryn Sun was good at it. More than that: she loved it. Through a number of private conversations with Crichton over the course of the series Aeryn stresses-- multiple times-- that the life she'd led before meeting him, in service, was simple. Straightforward. No thought, no debate, just the basic, unfrustrating duty of following orders. Her fellows were her family, exemplary service rewarded, it was a life without complications or individuality and the list of accomplishments she'd left in her wake were (obviously) validating. But it also meant that-- like anyone living a life without exploration or self-evaluation-- there was a lot she'd been cut off from.

Then again, she didn't really want it any other way.

Which is precisely when Aeryn Sun enters the series, swept up by a massive prison ship named Moya shortly after John Crichton's spacial relocation. The two don't mesh. She's abrasive, hostile, and nothing short of ruthless in her plan to free the two of them (considering the similarities between sebaceans and humans compared to the other species keeping them captive and occupying the universe Aeryn includes him in her escape plan) from the prison ship's new inmate owners. John, on the other hand, is the opposite: he'd rather reason than throw punches, which-- coming from someone that looks like a Peacekeeper-- makes no sense to Aeryn. Eventually the two are reunited with Peacekeeper command only to realize that they've pinned John (the soft, fumbling human) with the murder of one of the pilots that'd accidentally collided with his craft in space.

Knowing John's too dense to be that competent, and too Care-Bears-afternoon-special to want to intentionally cause someone else that degree of harm, Aeryn interjects, attempting to logically explain the situation for what it is and spare Crichton a harsh sentence. Hearing this, the captain passing out the accusations declares that Aeryn Sun is 'irreversibly contaminated' for having spent too much time with an alien species, meaning she'd be taken into custody as well.

Another break out follows, this time with John leading the charge: he urges her to go, she digs in her heels and wants to stay, even with the apparent heavy consequences for that bad decision hanging right over her head. It's stubborn, unreasonable, but finally-- thankfully-- Aeryn caves and officially marks herself as a fugitive.

It's the turning point of her life, and a vital interaction in regards to her personality because its important to understand just how much being a dedicated, loyal soldier (specifically a pilot) meant to her. In the past (when she'd been indefinitely reassigned away from her duties as a prowler pilot) Aeryn discovered the fellow Peacekeeper she was intimate with was working against command, and traded the information in exchange for a free pass to return to her previous duties.  And yet with John, that pattern isn't repeated. She isn't stupid enough to imagine command wouldn't hit her with the full punishment regardless of whether or not she stayed or ran, but the more time goes on-- the more she grows familiar with the idea of compassion and sympathy through shared experiences with John and the other crew mates they keep on Moya-- the less willing she clearly is to not only turn in her shipmates, but to maintain the same rigid, unyielding Peacekeeper way of life.

She's still impressively stubborn. Still socially awkward at times via brusqueness and a habit of speaking exactly what's on her mind and holding no punches (sometimes literally) but there's genuine concern there for other creatures' well being, particularly those she's most familiar with and loyal to. The traits that had served her as a Pk pilot carry over to serve her friends instead, and though she wrestles with the idea of emotional attachment being a hindrance more than an asset to anyone, when Aeryn feels needed there isn't a single second thought: she's there, however she can be, whatever the cost.

Which is what eventually gets her killed. Temporarily because ~science fiction~, but that doesn't negate the fact that it was still dying, which as you can imagine is about as unpleasant as the permanent deal, and in exchange for coming back (Aeryn's soul initially refused the offer to return knowing it would cost her friend her health-- and eventually, if untreated, her own life) the consequences of her own failings fall heavily on someone else's shoulders. And that, to put it bluntly,  kind of sucks.

So Aeryn decides the Peacekeepers were right: emotional attachment leads to reckless behavior and unnecessary loss. It sounds like the sort of backslide in progress that would knock a character down to who they were right at the beginning of step one, but Aeryn's come too far to go back-- clearly doesn't want to when she informs John Crichton that her feelings haven't changed, and cites Zhaan's deterioration as the reason for why she refuses to act on it. Because she's a soldier, because there is a certain sort of safety and comfort in rules and restrictions...and because she values herself less than she values her friends and allies.

It sounds altruistic. To a certain extent, that's not an incorrect evaluation, but the bottom line is that it's still the rigid, familiar behavioral foundation that she'd relied on as a Peacekeeper: where she would have given her life in battle and considered it nothing short of a gold sticker A+ star, Aeryn swaps military service for service in the name of her adopted allies and would consider dying for their sake just as reasonable an option.

In short, Aeryn's willing to do what it takes for her friend to survive, including the destruction of worlds. There won't be any joy in it, and without the steady guidance of her old companions Aeryn will likely do her best to maintain as much of their passed-down morality, but whether or not that succeeds would hinge entirely on the interactions (or lack thereof) that she finds in service. 

✖ Character Powers & Skills:

Trained/ acquired skills: Proficient with guns, grenades, knives and all the basic sorts of futuristic military weaponry. As a PK pilot, that also includes flying lightweight fighter class ships as well as larger ones like prison freighters (particularly the living, sentient sort). She does not, however, have a rich history with flying extensively under the weight of gravity: space is her style, air is not.

Natural/ innate advantages and skills: Sebaceans live longer than humans, possess different physiology (lack of redundant organs), greater physical strength (John lifts a remarkably heavy crate at a maximum level of his hipline; Aeryn then lifts it well above her head), and much, much better eyesight. In addition to all of this her DNA was previously altered, leaving her with slightly heightened senses and an ability to multitask on a undeniably inhuman level.

Not that she was ever human to begin with.

Language abilities: In the Farscape universe aliens are (usually) injected with translator microbes that colonize at the base of the brain and offer up an ability to understand almost any language with the exception of very basic (see: animals) and incredibly complex ones. Unknown languages require a short period of adjustment/ calibration.

Powers: None.

✖ First Person POV:

✖ Third Person POV: 

It wasn't a chance meeting. Not that Aeryn was aware of that fact, settled down with her elbows wide across the bartop in some remote little watering hole in the depths of uncharted space, soaking up enough room for two people rather than one. It kept prowlers away. Avoided the awkwardness of social interaction between a stranger with interest and Aeryn Sun without any interest whatsoever. Particularly while she's still shaking off the memory of ice-cold water flooding her senses and dragging her down.

She'd rather be alone. For a multitude of reasons (not all of them self-pitying) but no matter how harsh the edge of her jaw is from gritted teeth and locked-up muscle, no matter how she purposely avoids anything remotely inviting or the thought of shrinking back into her space rather than expanding outward like a bulwark, someone settles in next to her. Not human. Not familiar. 

They don't seem to notice the fact that she's glaring cold enough to chill blood, and surprisingly enough, they don't even seem to notice her-- not till there's an offer on the table, short and to the point and enticing enough that she has trouble believing them: drops borrowed currency for spent drinks and doesn't look back on her return trip to Moya.

And if they'd left the moment she'd set foot on board things would've gone differently; there wouldn't have been time for the memory of that stranger's pitch to paste itself to her thoughts like a spreading infection: more potent with each passing arn.

She returns later that night-- if there's any such thing aside from the basic concept of solar days when they're not anchored to someone's home world. Makes her demands and signs away her loyalty like something tangible. John wouldn't like it. Zhaan even less.

Shame she won't be there to hear them try and dissuade her.
