Name - Laila Rosier Alias- Starling Age: 21 Gender: Female Appearance ( whatever you want. Picture / description ) - [img]http://orig10.deviantart.net/b9e9/f/2014/202/8/d/anime_girl__brown_hair_and_golden_eyes_by_aurora2001-d7rlpyh.jpg[/img] (She has a scar going diagonal across her face, and her right eye is missing. Faction ( are you one of the families that was born in CODC or did you desert from the HOH ) - Laila deserted from the HOH. Motivation ( why did you took up arms for CODC ? What is your reason for joining a military life. Every person has to make two tours (2 years each) then he can go back to civilian life but to serve on the SS-Warlord you have to be in the military for more than 4 years so what made your character continue serving in the military ? ) - Laila is determined to fight against the HOH's tyranny, having grown up among it herself. She also loves the thrill of traveling to new places, and the sights of the galaxy. Personality - To all who know her, Laila is simply 'Starling', nothing more, nothing less. She actually prefers it that way, no one knowing her name. It brings too many bad memories for Laila to bear. She loves all things natural- flowers, birds, and all animals gather around her adoring gaze. However hippie-like she may be, Starling is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about navigation and space itself. You could adequately describe her as a space nerd, although she yearns for home at every turn. To some, Laila seems weak and naive, but that's not true. She may seem like that on the outside, but deep, deep down in her heart, she is bloodthirsty and heartless. If you get her angered enough, that outer shell could disappear into the wind forever, and she could become the heartless monster she had never wanted to be. She also harbors pure hatred for the HOH, something that is very justified. History ( who were you before you joined the military ) - Laila's parents were lowly terraformers for the HOH, never cared for or given the advanced technology they yearned for. But that was just the way she liked it. When she was a young girl, she would dance among the trees, animals, and grasses, feeling safe in her own right. Her parents taught her all about the stars and navigation, and she was happy and content. But one day, something terrible happened. An HOH soldier came to their adobe to investigate their terraforming. Laila was only five years old when the soldier cut her across the face with his knife for disobedience, creating a scar that would last forever. It was on that day that she started to hate the HOH for their treatment of her family. They taxed her family insane amounts without care and gave Laila a scar that would last for years. Why shouldn't she hate them? Yet, she continued to play in the gardens of her childhood without a care, until the age of 15, when she was conscripted into the army. She was taken from her family in the middle of the night, never to see them again. She served in the HOH's army for two years. During that time, she lost her eye because a soldier shot her in the there, and the upper class refused to give her any antibiotics. She had to remove it in fear of losing her life to an infection. The upper class treated the soldiers like disposable trash, and Laila hated that. So she decided to desert. However, the army captured her, and sentenced the 17 year-old and her family to death. Her parents and younger brother were executed, and just before she was too, she managed to escape with her life, never to see her home planet or family again. Skills ( 2 for each character ) - Space Science Biology This seems interesting! I hope I can apply, because I spent over two hours on this character!
