Viani Lorica

Appearance: At work, Viani is a sultry and voluptuous woman. Her shock of violet hair is brushed to the left in an undercut hairstyle, and the right side of her skull shows off some notable cybernetic implants. Her Right eye has clearly been replaced as well, though in color and expression is seems to match her natural eye perfectly. Two mechanical arms stretch behind her, endlessly moving between cleaning glasses with pristine wash rags and making fantastical cocktails famous from across the galaxy with phenomenal skill.

When you first spot her, her hands are grasping those of an aqualish while she gazes meaningfully at them. She seems wholly engrossed in the conversation, though her cybernetics are simultaneously handing a Tatooine Sunburn to her companion and preparing the ingredients for a Coruscant Cooler.

In her off hours, she prefers baggy, comfortable clothing, and is surprisingly adept at moving unseen. A shoulder-length black wig helps her hide the obvious cybernetics and outlandishly obvious hair, while a loose-fitting duster covers her cybernetic arms.

History:

Viani grew up in the harsh conditions of the Wheel, where life revolves around credits and the fastest ways to remove then from the incoming travellers. Her parents were wholly indebted to the system, and she was well on her way to being subsumed by in too. In her early teens, she came to this realization, and escaped. She stole a ship, miscalculated some hyperspace coordinates in her haste to escape the security patrols, and her battered ship crashed into Vohd. By the time she reached the only settlement on the planet, she was helplessly addicted to fog and the wounds she had incurred during the crash were festering with some form of larvae.

With the limited medical supplies on-hand, her lungs had need of replacement with cybernetics, and much of the damaged tissue in her body was replaced as well. Madam Hirani footed the bill, including a few special modifications, and offered Viani employment as a bartender and information collector. In the time since, Viani has paid off her debt, and has chosen to remain employed with Madam Hirani to earn her way closer to a ship. She still dreams of the stars and a ship to fly between them.

On rare occasions, Madam Hirani will call upon Viani's particular talents in remaining hidden and being able to readily record things without being obvious. This is usually done for the purposes of verbal contracts between business rivals, but occasionally for blackmail or trying to provide some degree of leverage regarding unscrupulous activities not performed at the Madam's establishment. The Madam, obviously, has her own monitoring systems within her establishment, and since the recordings are obviously from outside her establishment, her targets are more likely to use Madam Hirani's legendarily discrete services in the future.

Motivations:

-Viani loves being free, and openly dispises slavers. While she'll serve them drinks, they will notably lack her signature skill, and even this courtesy is only because the Madam insists.

-She spends much of her time chatting with customers in various stages of intoxication, and she makes frequent physical contact with people she finds particularly interesting to best make use of her pheremones in a crowded room. This often leads to people being particularly trusting of her, and spilling the beans on things they perhaps shouldn't.

-All the information she finds remotely pertinent to her boss will be downloaded to a datacube and handed off to her boss at the end of the night, along with a holographic recording (with audio) of them saying the interesting bits for blackmail, visual identification, or whatever other means the Madam may have.

-Viani desperately wants to travel the space lanes in her own ship, seeking the freedom of the stars.
