Fleeing her home after her father died and her mother focused on her as the cause of her father's death, Alessa quickly learned she had to find a way to fend for herself or life qould become very bad very fast. One day Alessa 'found' a set of microtools and and discovered a love of machines. Unlike those annoying people the machines never talked back or tried to make her do things she didn't want to.
She began to do odd jobs to survive while discovering she kind of enjoyed the freedom of not being tied to a job and family. Unfortunately one of her jobs left her on the run from the local authorities. It was a simple misunderstanding Alessa really didn't mean to redirect the main power conduit for ten city blocks directly to a bank. Thereby frying all the systems in the bank and allowing her employer free access. So Alessa decided it was time to tour the galaxy, for free. She broke into the local spaceport and hopped a ride on a transport.
Using the skills she had developed over the last three years Alessa began to be a professional stowaway. She learned all the tricks and kept jumping onto ships after decided if a planet was worth becoming her new home. By the time she sneaked onto the Project Reach ship she had decided her home was in space.

I'm not here to fulfill your sick murder fantasies.

It truly is amazing how unimaginative CFCer's can be when it comes to backstories.
Yes, I realise i'm just as big a culprit as the rest of you, if not more so, but the point still stands.
So, with that in mind, i've made a list of all the cliches we've already managed to get multiple copies of, so future recruits know what to avoid (or pick, if they so choose).
--------------------------------------------
Medicine man (SKILORD, mgsmuhammad): I know psychology isn't a real science, but it has medical applications, so I felt obliged to put it here.
Fast Food employee (bestrfcplayer, Immaculate): At least we won't be going hungry..
Not-quite a Gentleman (Abaddon, Karalysia, Immaculate): To be honest, I wouldn't trust my wallet with any of them..
Dropped out of School (Abaddon, mgsmuhammad): It had to be done.
Lady of (bad) Luck (Karalysia, Adrogans): Just keep away from these two, and we'll be fine.
Dead Parents (Karalysia, Adrogans): The Batman would be SO proud.
Legitimate Business(wo)men (Abaddon, Karalysia, mgsmuhammad, Adrogans): This, of course, raises the unfortunate situation where "colourful" individuals outnumber honest citizens, but, oh well..
Stowaway (mgsmuhammad, Adrogans): Tickets are over-rated, anyway.
Lived on the Streets (Karalysia, mgsmuhammad, diamondeye, Immaculate, Adrogans): Does the far future just not have beds?
Token Minority (mgsmuhammad, Freemanuncg): Because, yes, Irish is a minority.
-----------------------------------------------
I think that's everything (apart from "comes from wealthy family", but that would be far too depressing..)

Pity I could have offered you so much fun.
I figured if everyone else was going that route then why be alone? And no she really doesn't have bad luck beyond losing parents. She likes the off the grid lifestyle.
And if the dead parents thing really bugs you it is easily switched to running away from home. FYI I did not read any of the backgrounds except for the fast-food one as it was all tl;dr for me on a smart phone right now (compy dead).

So Happy I Could Die
Name: Marshall Remiford
Age: 34
Stats:
-Strength: 4
-Dexterity: 4
-Intelligence: 10
-Agility: 4
Skills: Theoretical Physics (x1), Advanced Polymaths (x1), Holo-games Champion (x1)
Inventory: Personal Computer with Custom AI (Ein)
Personality: Socially awkward, lacking empathy, possibly high-functioning Asperger's Syndrome. Professional rivalry and extreme dislike of Engineer O'Brian
Occupation: Research Assistant, Hyperfold Project
Appearence: Glasses, bad hair, slouches constantly, avoids eye contact
Backstory: Marshall Remiford was a ... precocious child. Terran legends tell us of prodigies who composed symphonies by the age of seven, or re-derived branches of mathematics by nine, but Marshall was entirely different. Perhaps if Mozart had the technology to program an adaptive AI at the age of three, he would have done something better with his life than writing little ditties. Maybe if Riemann had built a functional hyperdrive for his fourth grade science fair, he would have invented a branch of math that was actually useful for poly-dimensional travel. Perhaps if Radcliff had spent less time pretending to be a wizard, and more time hitting the books, he could have been the one to renormalize the N-dimensional Eigenmatrix flux equations. Marshall had done all these things, but there was one thing he could never do.
He could never accept that he wasn't the smartest.
He graduated top of his class, of any class really, at the age of 31. He was the youngest student ever awarded an Rm.Ph.D. from EIT, and he landed a prestigious job in a secretive government project - Hyperfold research. There, he worked under the legendary Dr. Byron Greene, superstar polymath, and the only man Marshall ever met with a greater intellect than his own. Marshall excelled in his research, but chafed at being the second smartest person in the room. So, he decided that when the drive was completed, he would travel to Andromeda, to be the brainy king of his own galaxy.
