Luce Mills

Luce Mills is a young officer on the Valor.

Parentage
Her mother was an Alon from Cyren, while her father was a Debban from Cyren. Luce shares DNA with her parents, but also Joshua Lincoln and an unidentified Ubesian.

Origin
She was grown in a tube like a typical gen-enged. She hadn't been made with growth accelerators, so instead Luce matured like a normal foetus.

Early life
Her parents were diplomats. She grew up on Cyren. Luce does not remember much about her early life, only visits by Joshua Lincoln. She was experimented on by Cyrish scientists. They tried to understand the Ubesian telepathic powers. She had some powers, but couldn't control them sufficiently enough. The scientists decided she was useless. She was supposed to remain in the lab, exposed to more dangerous tests. Her parents decided to whisk her off to safety, away from the lab. They staged their deaths and gave her to Joshua Lincoln, hoping he'd be able to raise her. The diplomats were killed soon after staging their deaths. The scientists decided she was contaminated and let her remain with Joshua. Luce quickly befriended Lee Lincoln, although it took her much longer to get close to Joshua. Her parents died when she was six, a few months before she was supposed to start school.
