Bio:

After a wave of plagues and unusual happenstances occurred amongst the outer CCW planets, the CCW realised they did not have the scientific manpower to combat things in case of a pandemic or spree of anomalous activity.

To combat this while not overspending on CAF personnel, the CCW administration thought it best that there was the creation of a splinter group of the Discovery Corps composed entirely of freelance scientists. These scientists are often hired to do explorative work on hostile worlds as well as working on non-classified research projects; often working as glorified lab assistants.

Dr. Elizabeth Tanner was one such ‘Freelance Scientific Specialist’ assigned to an outer-reaching CCW space base within the Thundercloud Galaxy. Her exceptional intellect combined with her unabashed zeal quickly made her a promising candidate for full-time employment within the CAF Discovery Corps. For many people that would be a great opportunity, however Dr. Elizabeth Tanner (‘Lizzie’ to her friends and peers) sought for something more. She seeks to prove herself and be granted CCW funding for a number of ambitious but possibly ground-breaking research. Unfortunately due to the expensive nature of these projects and the fact that she is only a freelancer, all of her project ideas to date have been rejected.

Lizzie only sees 2 solutions to her issue. The first is that she needs to prove herself to the CCW either with her actions for the CCW or by providing comprehensive and irrefutable evidence that her theories are correct and are deserving of the funding she requests. OR she can continue as a freelancer and try to get herself onto an expedition and try to amass enough personal wealth herself to fund the research projects herself.
