I don't know too much about freespacers so someone who does will have to look at the history, but everything else we discussed on IRC, and approved. So you can start posting in forum.

I'll give it a look later today, when I get home.

First Freespacer character in a long time to get the lifespan right, so good work on that. But there are a few notes I'd like to make as FM just to make sure Semjax understood the fluff correctly. The character's bio mentions her parents, which isn't outright forbidden, but it's unusual. Most organic 'Spacers don't have parents, but are constructed from a communal genebank and grown in vats.

From the wiki:
"Motherships each have a Genebank, where DNA is synthesized and stored. The children of a given Fleet usually have a relatively high amount of genetic similarities, so they are often – but not always – genetically akin to blood siblings or cousins. Genetically identical clones are rare for the sake of maintaining a diverse genepool (as a safeguard in the unlikely event Genebank technology is lost), but they are not unheard of. By default all Freespacers are sterile so they can still have intercourse without the risk of uncontrolled reproduction. They are, however, still capable of becoming sterile if injected with certain hormones. This is to ensure the race doesn't die out in the event of losing cloning technology, and for the rare exception to communal cloning."

Also:
"Children are incubated via cloning-vats and put into communal nurseries. There they will spend their time in a state of hypnopaedia (sleep learning with induced hibernation, alternatively “programming”), with short breaks in between hibernation cycles to develop basic social skills and physical health. By the time they reach adolescence they will have the equivalent of a high school education. At this point they are “let loose” upon society as temporary apprentices, visiting different ships and jobs until they find a task they both enjoy or suited to. Once they do find a trade, they receive specialized digital training and begin a true apprenticeship."

Now, clearly she can have parents like any Nepleslian child (except that all Nepleslian children are orphans-- zing), but that would definitely be odd or unusual. So long as you understand that when you write this character, there shouldn't be a problem with it.

Additionally, it may be worth mentioning that this makes her a Type I Freespacer, which is exceedingly rare. Most PC Freespacers are Type 3 or Type 4.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, while it doesn't detour me, I do understand what you have said, and will have my character act accordingly @Lamb

Since Lamb beat me to the only point of interest that I noticed, I just have one little thing to note for him, that I noticed. @Lamb

Second sterile should read fertile. I keep noticing that and keep forgetting to fix it.

I'll get on and give it a quick fix momentarily. Otherwise, sorry for beating you to the punch but if I'm gonna be FM for these crazy hippies I should at least rush to help any time there's an issue. Aside from the one plot that has them in numbers (which is a Nepleslian plot, at that), nothing's going on the The Free State quite yet so I look rather useless as an FM.
