HOLLIS GALLOWAY ↳ the grifter (they/them)
"You didn't think I was going to just follow orders. Did you?"
Born on one of the huge megacities scattered through the colonized galaxy, Hollis learned the art of the con at their mother's knee. They were raised more as an accessory to their mother's schemes than a person in their own right, but Hollis soon began to run their own grifts. By the time they're both caught by the authorities when Hollis is sixteen, they have rap sheet a mile long — or would, if they had a legal identity. But Hollis' mother never registered their birth. And as a minor, Hollis was given a second chance, their records sealed, and sent into the foster system.
Of course, when they aged out, they returned to the grift as soon as they could. It was the only thing they knew, the only thing they're good at.
And they are very, very good at it.
You will meet Hollis on the CSS Byzantium as you make your escape. How did they get there? Will they aid you? And if they do — what will they expect in return?
Hollis stands at about 5'4", with dark wavy, auburn hair that is cut short. They are curvy/plus-sized with an underlying layer of muscle. They have hazel eyes, a light dusting of freckles, and their ears and septum are pierced.
