Joslin Reyes

Joslin Reyes is the 42-year-old American mechanic of the Endurance. Before she became a mechanic, she was once a police officer for the NYPD, but she enjoys tinkering with the engines.

Background
Joslin Reyes grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods of Queens, New York, along with her sister Una, and unnamed brother. Upon coming of age, Reyes joined the New York Police Department, and became very good at the job, under the tutelage of an older cop, who became her partner, and instilled the value of being an honest cop.

Several years into the job, Reyes and her partner were involved in a shootout, with several drug dealers, which resulted in the death of her partner. Reyes vowed to her fallen partner's family she would make it right. However, the drug dealers were able to afford excellent lawyers, and weren't charged. Disgusted, Reyes left the police force. However, not wanting to break her promise, Reyes hunted the dealers down, and killed them in an act of vigilante justice, avenging her partner.

Out of a job, Reyes moved in with her sister, and took a job working in her brother's carriage. After work, Reyes would frequent a dive bar in the city, which lead to a chance encounter with, Conrad Roth, who was heavily intoxicated, and mouthing off, wanting peace and quiet, Reyes knocked him out. Upon regaining consciousness, Roth, laughed, and insisted that he probably deserved it. The pair got to talking, and Roth offered Reyes a job, as the mechanic on his ship.

Reyes and Roth grew fond of each other, and formed a causal romance, which resulted in Reyes becoming pregnant. Reyes feared that, Roth would reject the child, knowing that his life was at sea. Reyes left the crew, however she would occasionally come back at Roth's request, as she couldn't deny her feelings for him.

Expedition to Yamatai
Reyes rejoined the crew, when Roth was commissioned to be part of the crew for James Whitman's TV show, and insisting he pick his own crew, Roth requested Reyes return to the crew. She was called to the ship early, after the ship's engine failed, and she had to cut her summer with her daughter short. She began to fix the engine, and begrudgingly agreed to be interviewed while she worked.

As the voyage began, Reyes was never short of work, due to the Endurance's poor working order. Despite this, she found herself growing frustrated with Alex, who's carefree attitude and constant slacking aggravated her, and with Lara, who she believed was inexperienced, and was hard on her for it, and berated Roth for encouraging her.

However, Reyes didn't seem to care about whether or not Yamatai was discovered, seeming to be solely motivated by her paycheck, and continuing her fling with Roth.

During the voyage, Reyes gave Roth a letter, telling him that Alisha was his daughter, and expressed regret at not telling him, though she admits to having been afraid of how he'd react, and saying that she's support his choice when the voyage ended.

After the ship is struck by a storm within the Dragon's Triangle, Reyes abandoned the ship, and made it to shore along with Jonah, Grim, Whitman, Alex and another crew member who promptly died. After receiving a transmission from Roth, Reyes' group, began the trek inland to his position.

More to be added....

Amongst all of the survivors of the shipwreck, Reyes is the only one who seems to harbor a grudge against Lara; this is because she blames Lara for the shipwreck, as she thinks that the whole expedition was nothing more than a pipe dream. She even goes as far as to admit this to Lara in front of everyone while mourning Roth after his death (though she later regrets making this comment). After Alex dies aboard the remainder of the Endurance, Reyes again brings up that people around Lara tend to die. However, by the end of the game, Reyes seems to respect Lara for everything she has done to help her and the other survivors.

Personality
She is straight talking and no-nonsense, but has a warm side that she does not share easily. She is also fiercely loyal and someone you really would not want to get on the wrong side of. Reyes has been shown to keep a level head in even the most dire circumstances. However, she is also shown to be very quick to anger, at several points.

Reyes could be very callous, and made several remarks about anyone close to Lara having a short life expectancy.

Reyes' primary, goal is to provide for her daughter, Alisha. Reyes hates being away from her, but Roth pays better than any garage she had ever worked for. Getting back home to her daughter is always Reyes’ main motivation. One day she would like to make enough money to open her own garage and spend more time with her daughter. Because of Alisha, Reyes will not sacrifice herself for anyone, but will still put herself in danger for people when her academy training kicks in.

Reyes' biggest fear was that she would die on Yamatai and leave her daughter an orphan.

Skills
Reyes is an excellent mechanic, being able to work on anything with an engine.

Reyes is proficient in hand to hand combat, described her as having "a hook like a bleeding sledge."
