General Personality: Amaya so much can be said about her. She is amazingly social animal. It is a strength of hers but can be looked at as a weakness too. She is not the best best at keeping her rank separated from those of lower ranking. Not enough to hinder her career though. Amaya loves to be around others and hates to be along. She misses the time of being lower ranking when she had shared quarters with more then just one other person.
He is a hard charger and never gives in to anything. So much so that she losses her focus on other things when she is not focused on as much. She is friendly but direct. She is devout in her faith, she believes the gods will show her the way to what she wants in her life when they see it is the right time. She is affectionate and enjoys close intimate time with whoever she is with though she rarely has time for that.
She loves her family and visits them any chance she gets and has introduced many man she has had short relationships with to them. This of course has been far from a pleasant thing for her parents but she doesn't even realizes it. She can be a little air headed and blinded to the reality of life some times.
She never lies and hates those who do. She is known to hold a grudge when someone crosses her or betrays her trust. If you don't cross her though or lie to her she will quickly make friends with you and do everything she can to help you.
The Backstory
History: Born on the ninth day of November of the year 1965 on Virgon, it was a cold snowy day in the northern city of Keldon. It was not much of a town maybe fifteen thousand people. For her even as a young child that was the way she preferred it. Small intimate crowds fit best for her. She wanted to know everyone she could meet.
As a little child she was a social animal then too. The moment she could crawl she was the first to greet new people at the door with only a coo and pleasant squeals. Eventually this turned to words and she was a complete chatter box. She quickly made friends with all her parents friends. One of those being a Lieutenant Colonel in the Colonial Navy. As Amaya become older she become close with his son, Mika Long. A young boy about her age. The two of them grew close during high school and feel in love with each other. Mika had plans to follow in his fathers foot steps and Amaya had plans to ride the coat tails of her now boyfriends dreams.
The day they turned eighteen they left on a trip to Caprica together. It was to be the moment that Mika proposed to her before the would leave for the Virgon Military Academy at the end of the summer. The two of them went to Caprica City together for a month, all expenses payed by Mika's father. While their they would spend their time seeing the sites and on the last night before their departure Mika took her up to the hills out side of the city. A place you could look down and see nearly every light in the city. it was there that he popped the question. Amaya began to cry with joy from it and through the tears she of course accepted.
They had it all planned out they would go to the academy together and get married at the end then off to their first post together. It was the prefect plan. The only weakness in the plan was Amaya herself she was so driven and focused. She would only give one goal her focus at a time and when they hit the academy her focus shifted from him to her future career. Not so much at first but by the start of their third year they only saw each other about once a month and it only got worse as time went on. By their last year she almost never saw him and he was now seeing someone else as well. Amaya with her lack of attention to him didn't even know.
When it came time for graduation she suggested they wait ill they are settled on the new ship to get settled in before they moved forward. Him having moved on decided to break it off. Though detached from him at this point she was devastated by the turn of event. The Battlestar Tycone bcame their new home for then next three years she was forced to serve on the same ship as him and his new love interest. Even worse then that Mika their damage control officer and she was comms officer. They were stuck in the same CIC together.
Three grulling years past though her hands there on the Tycone before she was able to get a transfer off the ship. Tycone had been the site of her stalled and failed love life but also a star to a stalled career with her only have made Lt. Jg. just before being transferred off. No doubt do to the fact it was where his father served as the X.O. of the ship.
From there though she was free to make her new path in her career. She was sent on to the Battlestar Columbia as her second posting and this would be the beginning of a growing career. The posting on the Columbia is where she turned from working as a soldier to live as a soldier. Her life revolved around it. It didn't stop her from trying to have new relationships, five of them in total in here time on board the Battlestar Columbia, none of them lasting more then six months. They would all begin with that spark that was nearly blinding but would fizzle out just like a match tossed in to water.
Toward the end of her time on the Columbia the Sagittaron War would break out. Thoguh not in a combat roll she too played her vital roll in the whole ordeal. She was part of a group communiation officers who worked to break the communications channels coding of the Sagittaron forces giving the colonial forces one more advantage in the fight. The actions were credited with saving lives and shortening the war and She was given accommodations for her service to the colonial fleet.
When the war came to a close she would be transferred off at the rank of Lieutenant to the Battlestar Solaria no longer taking post as the communications officer but as the tactical officer of the ship. It was a step up in her career and gave her a position that would offer the chance for greater promotions. With in a year of arriving on the Battlestar Solaria she was promoted to Captain, her career was stable and solid now. She was still missing something in her life though, love. Something she wanted more then any rank but had neglected for so long now. She found herself seeking love in all the wrong places and all the wrong ways. She wanted so bad to have that lasting relationship she was willing to accept any man who came along and gave her attention as being that right now, only leading to a string of heart breaks for her.
Love, though something she wanted in her life had become something that was unobtainable in her eyes. With more then a few of the crewmembers of the ship having joined the ranks of her exes she requested a transfer off of the ship in 1998 and was sent off to the Battlestar Odin for her next posting. It was here that she tried to learn how to keep a better balance between her personal and professional life instead of the roller coaster extremes. In the end it worked out much better then it had in the past. Her career continued to flourish, and though she had not found that right person along the way she had learned moderation and was more willing to take her time to find what she was looking for. When her time finally came for transfer from this ship she had managed to secure her next step in her career as the OOD of the Battlestar Hyperion. Transferring in late August of 2003 to take her new post aboard the powerful warship.
