totally a barren dezert.  Becky and her friends survive as travelling mecha
scavengers who take on odd jobs and sell any mecha they destroy for money.

joined this force and flew missions off of their only space station before
the game ended.

Lifepath events:
Age    Event
[None]

Character background:
	Calysis spent all of her young and teenage years in a strict girl-
only shrine doing very boring things like cleaning statues and praying.
As soon as she was the age of majority she took off to joint the space
defence forces to meet boys, fight [or date] alien menaces, meet more boys
and make money.
	This game takes place in a very anime universe.  To this end
Calysis would shout out combat phrases in Japanese now and then.  Some of
them included:  [I'm only two months into my Japanese course so my
interpretations may not be 100% accurate.]
	
	junsui koi seppun	= true love kiss
	kaminari kerimasu	= thunder kick
	tsuki boseki takaku	= moon spinning strike
	seppun yaiba tataku	= kissing blade strike
	bara kirei kaiho	= rose beautiful liberation
	utsukushii momo furumasu  = beautiful hips skaking

	If Calysis ever uses the utsukushii momo furumasu on you you're life
would never be the same :)
	Unfortunately Calysis was only played for two meetings as the group
that I was playing in kicked me out.  They were using [using as in a bad
sense] me as a temporary player to keep their game alive 'cause another 
person left.  He later rejoined the game so I got the boot.
