OneKnight

Name: Elisa Salley (formerly Elisa Gray)
Closest Archetype: Retired Shadowrunner

The Skinny: Elisa Gray is a twenty-nine year old woman of British descent. She was born in London proper where her parents were the stars of a trideo show called “The Knights of Justice”. The show was a big hit amongst the British audience and even received limited play in North America. The show turned the Grays into stars and heroes. However, the show had a different effect on their daughter.

From the age of thirteen Elisa wanted to be a Shadowrunner. The action-filled stories her parents enacted over the trid waves filled her with dreams of espionage and action. It wasn’t long after those dreams entered her head that she entered Rakefeld Military Academy, a training school for well-to-do boys and girls whose parents had neither the time nor desire to raise them. At the school, Elisa cultivated that desire into a talent for skulking around. Time and time again she organized kitchen raids or special jobs to alter grades for her closest friends. When speaking of her deeds her friends began to adopt a codename for her, in order to keep her out of trouble. They called her OneKnight in mock honor of her parents’ heroism on the Knights of Justice show.

By the time Elisa turned sixteen, rumors of her talent had spread well beyond the bars of Rakefeld. She was ‘Joan of Arc’. She was a military genius. She was a master of stealth. There was magic in her ability. Rumors poured out the walls of Rakefeld, but until one night, they were just that. A man arrived at Rakefeld claiming to be a relative of Elisa’s. He had the proper papers, the proper look. He asked to meet with the girl, alone and away from prying eyes. He was a shadowrunner. One who was desperately looking for young talent, and willing to look into any rumor suggesting it. The man called himself Sparkle. He left with OneKnight that same evening, and put her skills to the test in a Shadowrun.

She performed better than he could have imagined.

For the next two years he returned to the school to obtain OneKnight for her skills on various Shadowruns. The skills and cash she gained from Sparkle’s jobs became the basis for her career as a Shadowrunner. She moved to the UCAS upon graduation, joining up with different crews in need of a stealthy phys-ad. This continued for years, well after OneKnight had gathered enough yen to settle down. Until one day she just stopped.

She met a man named Eric Salley, a basketball player for the Seattle SuperSonics. His coach had hired the team to protect him from certain ‘underground’ figures he’d lost money to in a card game. She stayed by his side the entire two weeks her team protected him and married him two weeks later. Since that time OneKnight hasn’t done shadow work. She’s the mother of two young girls, 5 and 6, each as bouncy and talented as their mum was at that age.

Description: Elisa has lost little of her beauty from the old days. She has long curly brown hair and brown eyes. Her face bears the slightest hint of childhood freckles and she has a short knife scar alongside her collarbone. She is physically fit and can usually be found wearing sun dresses or other outfits designed to show a proper amount of flesh.
