I'll start off by saying that yes, this is casual writing in every sense of the word. I apologise if you were expecting a whole lot out of the diary, but it's just that: A bare bones story, and a recounting of in game events.
That said, I'll start at the beginning.
She does indeed have a complex history. It's all in my head, and involves another character that I can't create yet, since the ship is being released in 4.85. I'll probably have it written before then, but yes, her history has a lot more involved.
A lot more. You have no idea yet.
This is a chapter in her life that is relatively simple. But your points are valid. Why did she become a Rogue? I'll just say her life never involved much kindness. There was some, but not enough to rub off on her. For Draya, becoming a Rogue is something that she thinks fits, and is something fairly famliliar to her. She needs to survive, she can't handle staying in one place and her current way of life, so she sets off. Joining the Rogues is just her 17-year-old solution to staying alive and doing something she's comfortable with.
As for getting recruited on Rochester, that's not exactly how it happened. Again, casual writing. She's writing this. She's not a descriptive person. I do that at times, I mirror my writing in logs to who is actually writing it. So yes, I'm not going into much detail here. I have other stories that do that. This chapter of Draya's life is a simple diary.
Got off track. Rochester. She meets a Junker. A Junker isn't a Rogue, but she manages to find out he knows one, and that if she happens to drag back a few Hunters for him, he might be willing to offer her something more. The Rogues aren't a very well-off group of people. I would think that of someone wanted to help their cause - young girl or not - they wouldn't be very opposed. In any case, she brings back the pilots and proves her worth somewhat in his eyes. Now he still doesn't just welcome her in just like that, and has her run a more official task in taking out the LPI patrol. She's still not accepted in after that. She only gets docking codes.
Now, as a side thought, I'm fully against the fact that all Rogues are cold-blooded miscreants. Sure, a whole lot of them are, but all of them? Liberty is plagued by poverty and strife in the commonfolk. Those people make up a large part of the Rogues. They aren't just a bunch of sweaty men who grunt and go "Arr!".
So yeah, final note: She didn't enlist on Rochester. You sort of misunderstood that.
Thanks again for the feedback. This is a fairly simple log/diary writing project here. Orin's Log is a bit more in-depth, because I write it as I would a weathered Freelancer, as opposed to a 17-year-old teen finding her way, and keeping track of her exploits.
