Biography
Although records containing the data of Evelyn Sharp's origin were erased, she was born into a family of impoverished ranch workers on Planet New London. Struggling to get by, her family often encouraged her to steal and exploit the world around her when given the opportunity. Unfortunately this led to her developing quite a hefty criminal record even from a young age. By the time she was in her late teens, she had already begun drifting from gang to gang, treading her own path through the criminal underworld of New London. Eventually however the law caught up with her, and she was captured and imprisoned on Sheffield Station in the Manchester system.
Predictably, Evelyn was forced to serve her time as a rookie hunter within the Bounty Hunters Guild. To everyone's surprise however Evelyn became an immensely successful Hunter working in the Guild, expertly going after high level bounties and pulling them off with relative ease. Her name quickly spread throughout the Guild as she rose to fame, eventually reaching the Bounty Hunters Guild Council. Noticing the prowess and bravado Evelyn expressed the BHG Council decided to take her off parole and induct her into the Council. She continued to impress the Guild and was eventually appointed as the Head Guildmaster of the Bounty Hunters Guild, the youngest ever to reach the title, at the age of only 18 years old.
Having taken some bounties there herself, Evelyn immediately decided to increase the Guild's operations within the Edge Worlds. By her own deduction, she concluded that the Guild had entered the Edge Worlds ill-equipped. So in cooperation with AP Manufacturing she ordered the construction of Dabadoru Base in Omicron Delta, which was to serve as a permanent base of operations for the Guild in the Omicrons. This bold move proved to be successful, as removing the need for the BHG to base off Zoner bases immediately gave the BHG a bolster to their operations, as they had their own installation to refuel from and could dock as many of their ships as they needed to.
For the next couple of years Evelyn enjoyed steady success with the Bounty Hunters Guild. Word of her efforts soon spread throughout the Houses, inciting fear into criminal elements and garnering praise and acclaim from even the House Governments themselves - just in time for the Nomad War.
The Nomads had initially taken little interest in the Guild. Whilst they had encountered and infected Hunters in the Edge Worlds who had strayed too close to their own territories, they had kept their infectious reach to the Houses. But with the arrival of The Order on the scene, they would be forced to change their minds quickly.
The Nomads had sent their infected thralls in the form of a dual Liberty and Rheinland diplomatic envoy, to discuss providing funding extra funding towards the Guild's operations in the Edge Worlds, with Evelyn Sharp. They had also requested to meet the CEO of AP Manufacturing at the time, Steven Thorpe. The meeting itself took place within the highly secretive Alaska system. This had already sent warning signals of some degree to Evelyn, as usually interested investors would simply request to meet on a Guild station.
Evelyn and Steven were escorted to a secure room on Juneau Shipyard. But upon immediately entering the meeting room, they were apprehend and restrained by their hosts. In a terrifying display of telekinetic power, the Nomads revealed themselves to both Evelyn and Steven. Their infected thralls came forward with eyes burning with a purple aura that engulfed the room and began to plague their minds. Evelyn watched in horror as the infected humans slowly approached Steven, and pried open his jaws before inserting an alien-like creature into his mouth. His hosts released him, before letting his body writhe uncomfortably on the floor and break into seizures. Eventually Steven stood back up, with the same purple light pouring forth from his eyes as the thralls.
The thralls averted their gaze towards Sharp. Fearing she would be infected next, she became to scream and fry in fear, tears flowing forth from her eyes as she struggled and attempted to battle against her captors. He reaction intrigued the Nomads as they observed her become overcome with fear. Such an emotion was foreign to them, and they were curious how Evelyn would react if she was pushed further. And so for the next several hours they tormented her with an array of visions, exposing her mind to all that the Nomads were, and what the Nomads wanted with Sirius. But as time went on this did not scare Evelyn. No, it fascinated her. She began to express her sentiments towards the Nomads and they were surprised at this. A human, an uninfected one, showing sympathies towards the Nomads was highly unique in their eyes. And so they opted not to infect Evelyn and instead employed her to serve them, allowing her to keep her free-will in the process. She threw her humanity aside, and decided to help the Nomads in their goals.
The Nomads experimented on Evelyn and whilst they certainly did not turn her into a Hybrid, they did bestow upon her the gifts of telepathy and telekinesis. There are others in Sirius who been found to display similar talents, but none of the high level Evelyn displayed. Her power was derived from harnessing her own brainwaves and transforming them into energy used to manipulate the environment around her. To prevent an overload of telekinetic energy, the Nomads installed a chip of their own design on the back of her brain that served as a 'biomechanical transformer'. She gifts to further control and manipulate the Guild and those who served under her. She was capable of reducing a person to torn pieces of flesh using only her mind. She controlled the Guild and her subordinates mostly through fear.
The Nomads, controlling Liberty and Rheinland, began working with Evelyn to create a human-proxy military faction to serve as a long-term solution to destroying The Order in the Edge Worlds. This was dubbed the Bounty Hunters Guild Core. The Nomad's assistance boosted the Core's operations immensely. However, her relationship with the Nomads was not to last. In their short-sightedness they were ignorant of how much of a threat The Order truly was. Through the assistance of a certain Freelancer and ex-LSF personnel, The Order defeated the alien menace and ended the Nomad War.
But things would not end for the BHG Core here. Whilst Rheinland did not even bother to show up to the post-Nomad War meeting, using her persuasive 'abilities' Evelyn was able to convince Liberty to continue funding the BHG Core, even though it was free of infection. The BHG Core would serve Liberty as its pawn in the Edge Worlds. But truly, it was Liberty and the BHG would be pawns of Evelyn.
For the next several years Evelyn enjoyed a life of luxury and immense power. She continued to grow the Core more and more, envisioning turning it into a fifth house within the east of Sirius. She had dreams of grandeur that involved stamping out all opposition in the Edge Worlds, even if they were neutral entities such as Zoners. Enemies were crushed, either indirectly through the Core forces or she would personally see to their demise. Exalted above all in the Edge Worlds, she revered, feared and even praised as a human goddess-like figure. She had even been able to marry, however records pertaining whom her husband was were erased, and none know if he still serves within The Core or is alive at all.
But alas, Evelyn Sharp would not continue to see The Core past 809 A.S. During a speech, in which she was displaying extravagant uses of her powers such as executing dissidents, she suddenly collapsed. She was rushed to the med-bay, but there was no response. Evelyn Sharp had died within the space of a mere second. A post-mortem revealed that what caused her life to be extinguished was brain-death. Supposedly caused by an odd, alien-looking microchip that had burnt out on the back of her brain.
Unbeknownst to the majority of The Core her corpse was taken to The Core secret medical archives, whereby she would be kept for medical and scientific research into her psionic abilities. Mysteriously though, in 818 A.S these archives were broken into. The thief had left everything untouched, except for the body of Evelyn Sharp whom he had taken off with. It is unknown where it resides now, or who is the one that had stolen it.
The legacy of Evelyn Sharp would continue to flourish in The Core however, with many of her goals and ideals still being a key part of Core philosophy. But the figure herself faded into lost memory, with most modern Core pilots - and other Edge Worlds denizens - having little to no idea of the female tyrant that sacrificed her humanity for Core once was. Nor how ruthless, how cruel, and how evil she was in the undertaking of her goals.
