adjust to any given situation in which he finds
himself. He does have a quiet, determined air and radiates a

self-ridicule, and is subtle and nuanced. He is

killed for her.

Background History:
Shane O'Connor was literally born on a space-ship. His
father was a captain on a merchant-class vessel and
his mother was a weapons specialist on that same ship.
Though he traveled extensively with his parents, he
also inherited their wanderlust and took the first
available opportunity and his inheritence to buy
himself a ship.
His early travels took him to Luna, where he fell in
love with a Spanish research scientist named
Constantia Orion. They had a daughter together, but
Constantia couldn't handle Shane's restlessness and
the relationship ended badly, with the woman keeping
the child.
Once off Luna, he founded the Michael Collins Raiders,
christened his new Revolution-class ride the "Michael
Collins," and set out to make as much money as
possible as quickly as possible. Because he exhibited
a bravery and confidence that bordered on outright
foolhardy recklessness, he largely succeeded.
Meanwhile, Isabella stayed on Luna until she was 13
years old, but she was never close to her mother, a
woman as cold as Shane was warm. She left with him on
his next passage, and he began teaching her everything
he knew about commanding a ship.
Shane's travels took him to Tyr and beyond, and he
made Jade's acquaintance when the woman saved his
daughter. He left shortly thereafter and returned
only sporadically to restock the Michael Collins,
drink in Murphy's Bar, and see his daughter.
On one of those trips back he realized that
He was madly in love with Jade, and she him,
Despite some apprehension about marrying such
A wildly wealthy woman he nevertheless did so.
Only after a strange set of circumstances did he
Learn his wife was a vampire�but true to the Irish
Spirit of dealing with things he took it in stride.
Recently he and his daughter were in a tragic space
Explosion�he has barely survived and is really only sort
Of dead�Jade is unaware that her husband is still
Alive and needing help in the worst way�presuming him to
Be killed in the explosion. Izzy was killed outright,
Sending her husband into a deep depression.
Will Jade be able to muster help in time??
Will Shane ever become All alive instead of sort of
Dead?
