Personality
Simply put, Moonie is unpredictable. She was born from a race that seems to naturally think they are better then everyone else. They view themselves as gods among the 'lesser species' of the universe. Moonie, however, was not raised by her species. She was was raised by a gang of Space Pirates and taught to take what she needed to survive.
Attitude
She is optimistic, cocky, compassionate, arrogant, confident and wild all rolled into one package. She lives her life to the fullest and always looking to the future.
History
Celestia Moonie is an alien raised by pirates of another distant earth. Most of her past is unclear even to herself.
Xixius
What is known about Celestia is that she is a Xixion, a race that considers themselves to be gods among the lesser species. This race has control over various kinds of energy and are very adaptable. Though Celestia herself is of a pure breed the race is also made of hybrids who make up the laborers of the planet.
Adrift in Space
Remaining a mystery even today, Celestia was found far far away from her home drifting within the debris of a space vessel along with her dead parents. She wore around her neck a small metallic chain insetted with a small pink gem. She was found by a band of Space Pirates looking to salvage something valuable from the debris. The leader of these pirates, Alex Moonie, saw this find as a blessing and decided to adopt this infant has his own child.
A Pirates Life
Celestia loved accompanying her fathers crew in their runs of piracy. Naturally she wanted to be just like her father and one day maybe even take up his legacy and lead the band of pirates herself. She was a natural when it came to piloting a ship which was discovered after stealing her fathers ship at the young age of eight. Her takeoff smooth.. her maneuvers excellent.. her landing not so great. None were killed, many were injured.
New Earth
To get an understanding of these pirates the planet they originate from must first be mentioned. New Earth was a planet inhabited only by wild game and plant life. It was nearly a thousand years ago when a mysterious alien race brought the first group of humans to the planet. It started with a mere twenty thousand. These humans were selected from earth in an attempt to preserve the human race and protect them from the upcoming destruction of their home planet. Over the course of a thousand years these aliens gradually brought in a new batch of humans until this new earth was inhabited by nearly two million.
The early humans were supplied with minor technology from these aliens giving them the means to hunt and survive. After awhile... it was apparent that these aliens were wrong about the humans of earth. Their predictions of an upcoming apocalypse never occurred so these aliens as quietly as they came moved on.
It wasn't long before this planet was discovered by other alien settlers and over the course of a few hundred years New Earth became the "United States" of the universe being settled by alien immigrants from all over the galaxy.
Alex Moonie and the Space Pirates
Alex was an orphan on New Earth who stole what he could to survive. As he grew older he became an even more notorious thief. Eventually he found himself making friends who like himself did what they could to survive. Alex turned this group into a sort of gang he named 'Pirates of Haven' named after the town the operated in. These pirates obtained many things from food to riches and eventually a large space ship Alex nicknamed 'The Fortress'. This new ship would be a haven to his pirates and enable them to extend their operations to other planets. Thus was born 'King Moonie and the Space Pirates'.
Earth and Those Blasted Rikti
By the time Moonie was seventeen she had perfected her piloting skills. (Including her landing![Mostly]) She wanted to find her home planet that she knew only from the data salvaged from the ship she was found on. There was basic knowledge on the planet, like the name and the inhabiting race.. but its location could not be determined. So she did the only 'logical' thing... Fly in a random direction in hopes of bumping into it. After all... How big could the universe really be? Not that big apparently because rather then finding her home planet.. She found earth. Amazed at her find, she had to get a closer look so she went into orbit... at the wrong place. The area she came into orbit was under a Rikti Invasion and her ship was immediately blown out of the sky, crashing into the waters outside of Mercy Island. It was here she began her new career of petty crimes until the day came she could and wanted to get off this floating space rock.
