Her Deal:

Faye Valentine is a bounty hunter. Her entire past is veiled in mystery and she likes to keep it that way.What is known about her is that she was in a terrible accident when she was younger and cryogenically frozen for 54 years. Once they had the medical technology available to treat her they thawed her out.
An alluring figure, unstoppable mouth and Glock 30 are her greatest weapons. She is an audacious and fealess egotist, pushy and resilient no matter what the sitiuation. This has led to as many complications as victories.
Gambling is her hobby: cheating her specialty. She has no problem doing whatever it takes to get by or get ahead, and woe be the person who gets in her way.
Faye generally works with two other bounty hunters by the names of Jet and Spike. However, if the bounty reward is substantial, she has been known to pursue bounties on her own.

Her Deal:

Infiltrator, thief, gunner. All are words that can be used to describe Raptor Squad's Wroonian thief. A full fledged member of the Wroonian Thieves Guild, Khara is trained in countless methods of theft and larceny.
Brought up on the mean streets of Wroona, Khara learned to fight at an early age, killing her first stormtrooper when she was barely a teenager.
Already a skilled shot with a hold-out blaster, she learned the deadly art of hand-to-hand combat from Vic Palisades upon joining Raptor Squad.
Her stealth is only matched by her resolve, and she has no problem going over or through anyone who stands between her and her objective.

Motivation:

The cost of being cryogenically frozen for 54 years can run up a sizeable tab. Valentine was thawed to debts totaling a boggling sum. Working as a bounty hunter and partaking in games of chance is Valentines only hope of paying this debt off.

When Faye is approached by one of her creditors who offer to eliminate over half of her debt if she completes a job, she literally jumps for joy. The mark is one Domascus Loor, a crime lord residing on Etti IV, a planet in the Corporate Sector. The job is simple, snatch him and turn him over to the authorities.

After ditching her partners, Spike and Jet, Faye takes her personal ship, the Redtail, and sets down on Etti IV. Up to this point, no bounty hunter has been successful in taking Loor, but Faye sees her luck changing and this time her hand’s going to come up Aces.

Motivation:

Khara is contacted by an anonymous source who informs her that a head of Black Sun has kidnapped her friend and father-figure Metlock Spinx. The old spacer is being held until Khara pays the ransom - a priceless statue of a Rodian Fertility God.

Due to politics, regular methods and Black Sun resources cannot be used and the crime cannot be traced back to the organization. Khara could care less about politics, she just wants Metlock free and safe.

The statue is being held in the office of Domascus Loor’s mansion on Etti IV. Knowing that the clock is running, Khara convinces Raptor Squad to make a side trip to Etti IV so she can grab the statue and save her friend Metlock’s life. After a week of scouting the palace out, Khara is ready to make her move…

The Experts Call It

pic Kabu si:

"Ah, what an interesting match-up. The cunning Faye Valentine against one of the Wroonian Thieves Guilds’ most successful members. Both are physically compatible and posses a hard edge in their dealings with others. Neither one pulls any punches.
This fight, ultimately, will come down to experience. While Faye is not a stranger to dirty tactics, she has only been in the bounty hunting trade for just under 5 years. Mizz Doone on the other hand, has been trained and conditioned by an established guild for almost twenty years.
Valentine may be able to use youth to her advantage, but it is this same commodity that will ultimately prove to be her downfall. A brash attitude is no match for a seasoned veteran…and that’s exactly what Doone is, even at the young age of 28 human years."

Winner: Khara Doone
pic 2 Vasi:

"Do not be so quick to dismiss Valentine! Vasi thinks that while Velentine may be younger and less experienced, she is also quick and cunning. If she is able to get the drop on Doone, then it is all over.
Doone relies on stealth while Valentine is all about results. And while Doone may have the training, Valentine has no problem pulling out all of the stops-shes a cowboy after all. Velentine has even pulled a gun on her own partners to further her own ends! That's a hardcase if Vasi ever saw one.
At the end of the batttle, Vasi sees Valentine getting off one too many shots with her Glock 30, and leaving Doone lying in a puddle of her own blood."


Winner: Faye Valentine

" Why you waste my time with this, hey?!? It's sooo very obvious who is going to walk away from this one. Well, obvious for one who has da inside track on things...
Look, you gottsa two smart talking ladies who like to steal and cheat their way through life, right? One has been trained by some of da best..the other is some chicky unfrozen from a block o' ice!
Do I needs to draw a picture? My sources told me that Doone stabbed a sector ranger in the neck one time just to get him out of her way when she was making an escape. Dats'a hardcore right dere! This Faye chicky...she is a...how shall we say..."too sentimental". She lets her past as a goody-two shoes get in her way when da credits are down. She spendsa' too much time trying to be witty and not enough time thinking...a mouth with a pistol, dats'a all she really is.
I don't even see dis one going the distance if you get my drift. Doone will take Valentine out and tap dance on her grave. You mark my words! This one is over in less than five."

Winner: Khara Doone
