Psychological Characteristics
Personality: Impatient, easily bored and tired of things and wants new ‘toys', whatever those might be, very often.

History
Akako grew up with her 3 sisters and parents, who owned a small business on a out-of-the-way kind of planet. Already as a child she was easily bored and this only grew worse the older she became, since her days were pretty much the same and she already could see the future planned for her... some business owner in a small town that did the same every day before returning to tend to her small garden. As her parents did every day.
Discovering just how closely she was watched, and how short a leash her parents kept her on, the arguing at home and her behaviour at school grew worse, especially after she was more or less locked up in the house after venting her anger on her partents' pride and joy, their garden. In the end Akako was taken out of school early after attacking and pushing a teacher, and only a generous donation to the school kept her records from saying ‘expelled'.
She started working in the family business, closely watched by her parents, and soon discovered that work was far more of a tedious routine than school ever was, just more lonely and with more monitoring, and this made the arguments flare up again. That her younger sister finished school a year early and almost at once got some leading position that included watching Akako, and that her sister soon took to treating Akako as a difficult child in the same manner as her as her parents did only added insult to injury, in Akakos eyes her sister had both stolen what was Akakos and then betrayed her by taking their parents side against her.
After an especially bad day Akako's sister made her to apologize to a important customer over and over again, because it didn't sound ‘sincere enough', when Akako thought she saw them laugh at her behind her back. In a fit of anger she attacked her sister, and when the customer tried to go between them she scratched the his face deeply. Akako never got to know how this was smoothened over, if ever, since she never saw any of her family again. After being escorted home she was locked up in her room for a few days and then sent away.
Half a day later, Akako found herself in a small, shabby-looking room with her two suitcases, on a planet she barely had heard the name of and then only as some sort of running joke about where to send various hopeless employees that would cause more trouble if fired than kept in work, like the black sheep of their friends familys, and now also their own. All she knew was that it was some sort of dumping place, with a boss her mother had handpicked to keep the lazy and rebellious in line. But, things turned out better than she had feared to begin with, being a battlefield salvager seemed more interesting that anything she had done before, most because it was completely new to her, and even if the days were long, her workmates were for the most unlike anybody she had met before, so at least for the first months things seemed to go rather well..
Skills:
Fighting: During her salvage work, she often donned civilian power armor to sift through rubble. She is experienced with the basic functions of movement and awareness in power armor. Using small firearms to shoot on different junk on some small, improvised range was a popular pasttime while Akako worked as a salvager, and she sometimes joined in this, at least it was something to do. She never had the patience to learn to shoot terribly well, but can usually hit things that move slowly or not at all, and aren't unreasonably far away.
Maintenance and Repair: Akako has learnt do so some easy maintenance and some small repairs on powerarmor, cars and the like, a lot of it because she became impatient while waiting for others to come and help fix something, and began trying to fix things on her own.
Leadership: What she hated most at school, and one of the few things it was demanded she'd do well in.. the art of diplomacy and how to treat customers with respect and interest, how to be correct when adressing them, and how to negotiate and discuss matters without letting it slide into arguments.
Art: The only thing about school she ever liked. Akako can draw fairly well, and if no great artist due to some lack of imagination, she can draw a more or less realistic portrait of somebody, or copy somebody else's work. Drawing/painting anything she can see before her while working is what she does best.
Vehichles: Even if she never had her own car, or was allowed to drive around on her own, Akako's parents let her learn to drive so she could be less dependant..when she once grew up and showed some responsibility. Which didn't happen. Akako can drive well enough but has little experience in anything else than driving slowly and safely. Hovercraft were used in salvage work, if the terrain allowed it, and the crew Akako worked with would take turns driving this to transport loot back and forth. Can drive well enough, even in somewhat difficult terrain.
