How do you face the day?

You Dress In Old West Chic.

It's time to face the day. Metaphorically. You're sort-of in deep space right now and their isn't a day or night and... You get it.

You sart by taking a nice long hot shower. You installed a Spectral Filter a few years ago so you have an unlimited supply of fresh water whenever you need it. The hot water washes away the grime of sweat and sex off of you. It circles the drain and is left to be exhausted out into the background hum of the universe. You love a good shower. It's so calming.

You finish up, towel off and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You are a pure flesh-and-blood earth human, a rare thing in the galaxy these days. You're small and petite, with tanned caramel skin and a shock of bright green hair. You have a small scar on your right cheek that's been there for as long as you can remember. You've ended up giving it some siblings on various other places on your body over the years. These days, it's fashionable to get cybernetically enhanced and replace your bodyparts with robotics but you've preferred to stay farm-fresh. You'd only get enhanced if it was absolutely necessary. Besides, it makes you seem exotic and some chicks are into that.

You pull out the ensemble that you call your "work clothes." You are a big fan of Old-Earth culture, the Old West specifically and you like to dress in a modern approximation of the "cowboy" style. A white blouse, black vest, comfortable slacks with big pockets, leather boots, a wide brimmed western hat and your Duster coat, the piece that ties the whole thing together. Your Duster is really something special. It's a strange mystical artifact that you plundered from an ancient tomb on a far off planet. It was the first thing that you collected in your whole career, actually. As far as you can tell, the Duster is completely impervious to any kind of damage. Blades, flames, gunfire, it blocks it all. You don't know how it works but it's saved your life more times than you can count. It's a godsend.

You get dressed and head out into the control room of your ship. It's time to go out into the universe and look for adventure.

What now?
