Hailing ostensibly from an obscure tourist-trap of a colony, Eight York is a promising young officer in Londo Bell, notable for balancing cheer with a sharp eye for trouble. Her path to Captaincy has seen death and despair already, but she maintains a positive attitude, and her people skills, optimism, and general resilience have won her the loyalty of her crew thus far. That loyalty has been tested by the release of rumors about her childhood as a Cyber-Newtype operative of Zeon, which she does not deny.  Despite this, she displays a great deal more stability than the average example of such a project.  However, the process has taken a deep physical toll that her mental resilience can't erase, and it's possible that it will take more from her before it is done.  She is using herself as a decoy in a very dangerous game, and her genuine desire to do good wars with her increasing disillusionment with other aspects of the Federation.

Captain Eight York of the Three Ships Alliance was once a promising young officer in Londo Bell.  After an ill-fated attempt by the Federation to invade Orb, however, she broke away to ally with other like-minded souls in an effort to end the current wars plaguing the Earth Sphere and fight for a better world. Her background is a matter of public record; most of her history points to her growing up in the tourist colony Winter Wonderland.  However, before that, she was 'number eight', the only surviving member of a series of experiments as part of Zeon's Cyber-Newtype programs.  She is known to be related to the Zeonic Kadun family, to whom she is Dimara Kadun, their long-lost scion recently returned to them.  Despite her status as a Cyber Newtype she displays uncommon stability, and many now look to her for leadership on a new path.  The simple truth is that she was unwilling to lead her crew as a tool of oppression, and while she is not entirely sure what a 'better' world looks like, she knows she's going to fight for it.

Eight York was once a Federation Captain with all the rights and responsibilities that entailed, but now she is Captain of a rather different organization.  She no longer has access to the Federation's intelligence or military apparatus, but she has a lot of connections in Orb and beyond, given her attempts to defend the nation and her new status working with them.  In addition, she has some access to the status and wealth of the Kadun family, and as 'Dimara Kadun' is the heiress to an old aristocratic legacy, though her grandmother maintains control.

Firstly, Eight York is Captain of a Federation battleship, which gives the benefits one might imagine; she has people who will follow her orders, free access to the ship's databases, and the freedom to deploy specialized equipment including mobile weaponry.  This is in addition to the general benefits of being a Federation officer, such as lodging and pay.  With her high rank, she can get into a lot of facilities and has clearance to know a lot of information that others wouldn't have access to... though in turn she's obligated to keep that information secret, and Londo Bell doesn't have a lot of pull in other Federation forces.

Another resource that Eight has is her powerful psychic ability; as a Cyber Newtype her mind was forced open to the impulses of others and to the world around her, and she has only /gained/ in attunement with that world since she's been living with other people in a 'normal' life.  She can read people instinctively, tends to know when someone is lying, and has an acute danger sense and ability to predict people around her.  However, the experiments that gave her her abilities were still being perfected, and this results in a number of physical and mental issues that she has mostly been able to compensate for with therapy and medication.  She needs regular access to medication in order to keep some of these side-effects in check, so this is not entirely a benefit.

Captain Eight York of the Three Ships Alliance was once a promising young officer in Londo Bell. After an ill-fated attempt by the Federation to invade Orb, however, she broke away to ally with other like-minded souls in an effort to end the current wars plaguing the Earth Sphere and fight for a better world. Her background is a matter of public record; most of her history points to her growing up in the tourist colony Winter Wonderland. However, before that, she was 'number eight', the only surviving member of a series of experiments as part of Zeon's Cyber-Newtype programs. She is known to be related to the Zeonic Kadun family, to whom she is Dimara Kadun, their long-lost scion recently returned to them. Despite her status as a Cyber Newtype she displays uncommon stability, and many now look to her for leadership on a new path. The simple truth is that she was unwilling to lead her crew as a tool of oppression, and while she is not entirely sure what a 'better' world looks like, she knows she's going to fight for it.

Background

Public knowledge of Eight York's background indicates that she has been in the Federation military since a little after her high school graduation, in 0094, and prior to that she was a resident of Winter Wonderland for about ten years. This is where information on her history dries up, however; the records simply aren't there to explain where she was before the age of nine or ten.

However, her service record is exemplary already; formerly the Comms Officer on the Ra Mari, Eight York became Captain during a series of tragic incidents about the Winter Wonderland colony, during which time nearly all of the senior officers of the ship perished. Her quick thinking and readiness to lead earned her a promotion, and the ship she'd saved.

Since becoming Captain, she has seen the Ra Mari and her crew through many battles, against foes from Angels to Zeon remnants. In a batle agains he Vajra the Ra Mari was so damaged that she was refitted with powerful new weaponry, and since then Eight has continued to see her ship through operations planetside and in space.

As it turns out, though there appear to be no surviving records of the project, Eight York was Eight before she was a York, the only known survivor of a Cyber-Newtype project by an unnamed Zeon scientist. After the disaster of 'Operation Spitbreak', rumors of this fact began to spread first on her ship and the through the Federation military apparatus in general. It remains to be seen what will come of these facts, but she has been spending more of her leave time investigating rumors of old labs...

In the Denver Colony incident, Eight learns more about her past. With the information gathered there, including the name 'Dimara Kadun', Eight turns to the Yumi Foundation, and they track down her birth family. She begins to make connections with her grandmother of the same name, and goes into the New Year weighing how to mix her past and present.

In early 0097, during a failed attempt to invade the United Emirates of Orb, Eight York officially goes rogue with her entire crew, defending Orb and founding the Three Ships Alliance with her own Ra Mari II, Nergal's Nadesico under Yurika Misumaru, and ZAFT's Eternal under Lacus Clyne.

Resources

Eight York was once a Federation Captain with all the rights and responsibilities that entailed, but now she is Captain of a rather different organization. She no longer has access to the Federation's intelligence or military apparatus, but she has a lot of connections in Orb and beyond, given her attempts to defend the nation and her new status working with them. In addition, she has some access to the status and wealth of the Kadun family, and as 'Dimara Kadun' is the heiress to an old aristocratic legacy, though her grandmother maintains control.

Another resource that Eight has is her powerful psychic ability; as a Cyber Newtype her mind was forced open to the impulses of others and to the world around her, and she has only /gained/ in attunement with that world since she's been living with other people in a 'normal' life. She can read people instinctively, tends to know when someone is lying, and has an acute danger sense and ability to predict people around her. However, the experiments that gave her her abilities were still being perfected, and this results in a number of physical and mental issues that she has mostly been able to compensate for with therapy and medication. She needs regular access to medication in order to keep some of these side-effects in check, so this is not entirely a benefit.

She's also generally friendly and nice and has the resources that come from having a lot of friends in a number of places. Sometimes it helps!
