| Physical Description | Jacy is tall and skinny, but polite people use words like angular and lean. She has great posture; her back is very straight, her sternum is lifted, her neck long and when walking she leads with her hip. Her arms tend to gesticulate from the elbows as if they were tucked and soft-pinned to her side. Undeniably pretty and characterized by grace and poise (most of the time), she has a flirtatious nature and a strong sexual presence even without physical contact. She’s not particularly strong nor does she look it. What is important is her ability to appear sensual, insecure or hardened depending on the need at the time. Additional physical measurements and stats are routinely updated and cataloged should one find that information necessary, and are accessible on Cortex stream via the Companion Guild database. |
Family

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Consistently give people at least two options you are personally okay with and you will invariably get your way. The world out there has been cruel and vile; either to you, by you or for you. You are not judged on the mistakes for which you atone. By the looks of things your ship is being held together by duct-tape-and-a-prayer. Take my money, Captain. What you have learned and what you know do not have to be the same thing. You must learn to read Latin and I'm here to teach you, but the method of your tutelage is not written in stone so my purpose today is to discover how you most easily learn a curriculum so that I may best alter my teaching to suit the learning of that lesson. One path leads to a life of fulfillment and happiness. The other does not. Down one path you will find yourself a prisoner no matter where you are. Companions don't live up to the systems’ expectations of beauty, we establish those expectations. |

| Strengths & Weaknesses | Companions are culturally educated with training in a number of areas including psychology, music, dance and languages. That instruction includes a proven understanding and display of basic unarmed martial arts as much for the accompanying discipline as the practical application of self defense. A registered Companion is a skilled and well-respected member of a guild of professional courtesans/entertainers licensed by the Union of Allied Planets (the "Alliance"). While they do frequently engage in a form of state-sanctioned prostitution, they are nonetheless treated with a great deal of respect and deference by nearly everyone. So a companion is a highly skilled legal professional that has been through extensive training in the services they provide and, just like any other highly sought after professional, are welcomed accordingly. She can hold a gun and look good doing it; that’s gotta count for something. Whether she knows how to use it... Being aesthetically pleasing can certainly be advantageous, but it often makes one stick out like a sore thumb in shameless company. So Jacy often plays whatever role is needed of her; at peace with the bit she’s asked to perform to blend in or stand out. She’s encouraged to use all of her attributes, not just those that can be bought and sold. At her core she only wants to be valued and this manifests in providing herself as a maneuvered participant in whichever scenario she’s currently needed. |

| Ambitions | The Cassalantars ruined her family and many others through their corrupt banking practices and she is determined to ruin them. The Companion Guild also has long standing financial arrangements with The Cassalantar Bankers which complicates matters. There are elements of feudal culture incorporated into society, as many of this Companion's customers are referred to as Lords. Both slavery and indentured servitude are either legal or tacitly overlooked by the authorities. This does not sit well with Jacy Ellylo at all. (It’s too reminiscent of her own teen years.) |
|
| Hobbies & Interests | One of her endearing and not at all annoying habits is her insistence that everyone should learn one party trick. Hers is ventriloquism and she's actually decent at it. She’s now been a licensed and practicing Companion for five years and will soon be required to visit a sanctioned medical facility to undergo another annual physical examination establishing her purity, sterility, immunity and other pertinent particulars of her craft. Instead of bending down to dry her feet or put on socks, she might throw her leg up high onto a countertop or sink edge. Or bend straight from the hips to tie shoes without bending knees. She refuses to wear her hair in a bun one moment longer even if it’s a request from a client. |
| Personal History | Jacerelyn Ellylo was born and raised on New Rodinia, a core planet in the Alliance. Her childhood designs of becoming a ballerina (White Sun Dance Company) were brought to a screaming halt (literally) by cruel and dual injuries to both ankles when she was ten years old. She’s since recovered and can cut the rug in a waltz with the best of them, but her days in the cutthroat world of competitive ballet were irrevocably swept out from under her pointe shoes prematurely. The conception of a calling as a Companion was first established in her head quite maliciously by her mother who was tired of hearing Jacy complain during her recovery. (To be fair, Jacy complained very little, but her mother’s nurturing instinct was severely lacking.) Her mother rather rudely suggested a career her daughter could pursue from her back with absolutely no need of ankles; broken, mended or otherwise. Mind you, she had only been an eleven year old girl at the time and the word Companion was never actually used in this proposal, but the skills intimated to be necessary for such an uncouth occupation would certainly be transferable. Mother could be a barbarous woman when she put her mind to it. Despite the nature of her mother’s overture, Jacy explored those options and squirreled away some funds and charity to put towards the cost of passage to the proximate planet of Londinium where she applied and was thankfully accepted to the Companion Guild at the age of twelve. Such a forward thinking sodality. She trained as a Registered Companion in New Cardiff on Londinium, a central planet with an established culture more in line with the western world from the old Earth-that-Was. (As opposed to the Eastern/Asian inspired culture of its sister planet, Sihnon.) Those earliest years involved general schooling and discipline followed by years of focused cultural infusion and discipline with the introduction of pleasure cultivation only after the girls (and a few boys as well) had reached a suitable age. And always there was the discipline. The Companion Guild was an amalgamation of cloistered boarding school, dance company, University, dojo, religious sect, art institute and all of this before the physical act of pleasure was even mentioned. Not all Companions are created equal and there is a definite hierarchy in which Jacy does not fall particularly high. This is not a reflection of her client list, abilities or charms, but instead of questionable loyalties. Specifically her loyalties to The Alliance and its approach to establishing civil order on the entire system, including the outer rim worlds. She has never had an outright confrontation with anyone, but behind closed doors her opinions have been expressed and not always to open-minded ears. So it’s her responsibility to foster a book of clients and that means she needs a place of business to do her clients thing. |
