Alyssa

Alyssa Nelson, previously a crew member aboard the Ulyssey, is a squad member among The Bahamut Mk2.

Born and raised by strict parents on the Human colony Horizon, Alyssa left in search for her future with the Alliance at age 16. Alyssa was assigned for training at The Alliance's Earth station, visiting Earth for the first time in her life. Alyssa trained for 3 years under extreme pressure, failing many tests due to being judged from her gender. At age 19, Alyssa finally passed training and became an Alliance soldier.

Alyssa was stationed on Earth for her first two years, rotating around the planet in different countries, much to the natives boredome but Alyssa's interest, learning about Earth while traveling. Finally, at age 21, Alyssa was signed for Planetary leave, stationed on an Alliance vessel. Alyssa experienced minor discoveries, rarely coming into contact with a hostile species, only once being Batarians trying to overcome the Alliance vessel, failing horribly. 2 years passed on the vessel, at age 23, Alyssa heard about Bahamuts downfall, surprised with everyone that the strongest vessel in The Alliance was destroyed. Soon to be discovered by outside sources that The Collectors caused this. Alyssa, now intrigued by the arrival of The Collectors tried to find out everything she could, among this she found out about Tillery raiding The Citadel and the vessel The Ulyssey was no longer dubbed as a hostile ship. Alyssa, along with a few others, dropped out of The Alliance to avoid being caught in the interactions with The Citadel.

Alyssa, now on Earth, searched as hard as she could to find out about The Ulyssey, eventually she was discovered with a group of other experienced soldiers and was hired onto the vessel. Alyssa held up in the Cafeteria with the chef and alien Vortigaunt, constantly talking to the Commanders and forming a bond. Alyssa experienced 3 raids on the ship, captured on two of the raids. Rescued on both, Alyssa experienced near death while trapped in Collector pods, the pods began to grind up the crew members in sections, trying to save the chef, they were too late in rescuing him. Right before Alyssa's section was grinded, they broke open and saved her, it starting right after she was saved.

Alyssa thanked both commanders and said she could never repay them for saving her life as much as they did. She came to find out that the chef died in the rescue, mourning his loss she learned they had to move on.

Downfall

After the commanders had been under city-arrest in Headlong, Alyssa worked her way back into The Alliance, which now were a friendly and safe military union, without Tillery. Alyssa found out that they were being summoned to a meeting in the city hall, she pulled strings to visit the commanders, being succesful. She met them before they entered the room that the meeting was being held in, looking completely different than in her uniform. She asked Solaris "Guess you don't recognize me because I always had that hat on, huh...?" and after that, Solaris knew it was Alyssa.

Alyssa defended headlong for as long as she could, manning the gun outside and eventually retreating to a gunship not far from their location, flying to Youngs house where she had remembered he said he resided in, saving both Commanders.

She resided in the house until it fell under attack, injured in it as she was escorted to The Citadel's hospital wing while the commanders obtained the Mk2. She now resides in the lounge area on the ship.

Nothing is known of her parents, whether they were taken in Horizon's Collector raid or not.
