[edit] Description

Dark brown hair falls in loose curls to just touch Beau's collar. Both his beard and his moustache are kept neatly and precisely trimmed. Hazel eyes framed by thick, dark black, lashes often seem distant and unfocused. He's quick enough with a smile, even if that smile doesn't chase the shadows from those eyes. Small laugh lines at the corners of his mouth and at the edges of those hazel eyes offer a hint to his mid-thirties age. Average height, and average build, Beau does not pose an intimidating figure. Looks, however, can be deceiving. A little too pale, those eyes a little too red-rimmed and bleary, the man carries an aura of 'unwell' around with him like a neon sign.

Beau's choice of clothing, from his black wool slacks, to his white poet's shirt, paisley vest, and suspenders give him the appearance of an old South Plantation owner. His black boots are well worn, but polished to a high sheen regardless of the scuffs beneath the shine. A gold pocket watch and chain hang from the pocket of his vest. Black leather gloves are an ever present accessory. Tossed over it all is an old, worn, well loved, faded, and abused brown leather duster.

[edit] Past

Beau was bred and birthed in the black on board a Dragonfly class transport. His father's battle against Alliance oppression began long before the boy was ever born. Beauregard James Compton, III always new what he wanted to be when he grew up because of it, a pilot. During the War for Unification, the Compton family risked life and limb and livelihood in their attempts to pull pinned down Browncoats out of hot zones. Despite only being fourteen when the war began, Beau did his best to do his part. The Exalted Justice and her crew became a symbol of hope and salvation for many a independent soldier. He was 18, nearing the end of the war, when he was caught and held in PoW camp. When he was caught stealing medications from the supply tent for sick prisoners, they cut off his left hand as an example to others, the ensuing infection nearly killed him and left him vulnerable to other illness that ravaged the camp, a strep infection damaged his heart. Eventually, he and a few others would stage a daring escape, but Beau would never be the same again, physically or mentally. He left the camp behind to find that both of his parents had lost their lives in the war. The Exalted Justice was his.

For a number of years, Beau continued his father's Robin Hood-esque work of robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. The ship and her crew continued to be a beacon of hope against those still oppressed by Alliance rule. All good things, however, must come to an end and it was one of his own that ended him. Turned in for the bounty on his head, Beau was tried and convicted without a real trial and sentenced to life on a penal moon. After a chase by the Alliance ended in the Exalted Justice exploding and Beau barely escaping with his life, dazed and stunned in his shuttle only to be caught immediately, it seemed the end. Life, however, seemed like a very long time in his eyes. He had different plans. It took him five long years to do so, but eventually he planned another escape. Now he's left with no home, no ship, no family, and only his freedom to keep him going.
