The Setting: Humanity has reached the stars, spreading out in ships and stations and even a couple of terraformed moon colonies. Stations and colonies, and what's left of Earth, are ruled by the corporations. Grown huge and all-encompassing they are loathe to lose any resource, including their citizens, whom they view as property just as much as they do anything else in their territories. Ships on the other hand roam free space, usually in groups like the merchant clans to avoid raiders but there are the nomads who strike out on their own with just their small family group with them. The clans hold their own against the corporations by providing a service, and acting as sort of ambassadors between rival corps. This allows them a certain amount of respect and freedom. And to sometimes gain an upper hand in trade negotiations.

The Character: Born in corporation territory back on Earth, Mina Roskam was destined by her parents' standing to end up working in the factories same as them, and to eventually die of the poisoned air like her grandparents. But not long past puberty her looks caught the attention of a Corp recruiter, who was sifting through the 'drudges' to find anyone who might be of worth. Generally that was highly intelligent or creative young people who were then sent to one of the academies to be taught their assigned trade and go on to bring profit to the corp. And while Mina was in fact a gifted mechanic it wasn't that which really caught the recruiter's attention once he met her, even if it was what had prompted the meeting in the first place. No, under the grime of a drudge's life was something that could be polished and refined. So she was sent to a very different school, to learn etiquette and culture and the best ways to keep a person above her station happy. Her destiny changed, and she became a bargaining chip. To be sold to a rival corp or a merchant clan or even as a way of appeasing a raider lord if necessary.

The Plots:
  1. Mina at the academy, receiving the training necessary for her to be an asset to the corporation. She's resentful and stubborn, having been looking forward to going into engineering or mechanics and instead has been told that her greatest asset is her looks. (she'd be 16 or 17 in this one, and it would technically take place after she'd been there for a bit but is now moving from etiquette and culture lessons into the more sensual training)
  2. Traded to a rival corporation as a sign of their new alliance and given to a high-ranking official within the corp Mina has to learn a whole new set of rules with a people who are not her own. (18-22)
  3. Given to a general as a reward for driving off raider attacks on an important shipment or something similar, leading to her now living on an active warship surrounded by soldiers and derided as the general's new 'pet'. (18-22)
  4. Won by a merchant clan through shrewd bargaining, and the release of a few of their own young people to the same academy she was trained at, Mina's to be married to the heir to the clan. (18-22)
  5. Gifted to a raider lord as a peace offering when a treaty is hammered out between them and the corp, dropping her into a world of violence and debauchery where all her etiquette lessons won't do her any good. (18-22)
  6. Throw your own idea at me, or let's brainstorm something together
