[h3][color=0076a3]Talina Eriston[/color][/h3] [/center]

[b]Species:[/b] Human

[b]Age:[/b] 24

[b]Faction:[/b] Imperial Remnant - Ultmara Sector. She works for the special operations sector within the Remnant, having earned respect and power within the faction.

[b]Equipment:[/b] Talina uses a wide varity of equipment depending on the mission. She typically carries a Model 434 blaster pistol at all times, normally tucked into a holster along with a compact vibrodagger. She has an E-11s sniper rifle but often just leaves it locked up in her apartment, there if she needs it. She also carries several thermal detonators, binoculars, a comlink and a wrist mounted grappling hook launcher. When in casual situations she tends to wear comfortable clothes which she can move quickly in, while for infiltration missions she switches to a more sleek jumpsuit better suited for that task.

[b]Skills:[/b][list]
[*] Talina is a highly skilled combatant, years of Imperial training has made her an elite shot with blasters. She is also formidable when unarmed, knowing several forms of martial arts and close quarters combat maneuvers. 
[*] She's highly knowledgeable in the art of espionage, knowing for example, the best locations to break into buildings, how to acquire information and slip away without being easily found. She can blend into a crowd, just becoming another nameless nobody.
[*] She's capable with computers, able to hack and slice her way into systems with relative ease. Talina is then able to hide her 'digital footprints', making it harder for her hacking to be discovered.
[*] Talina is as athletic as they come, her body molded by rigorous training and physically demanding work. She's a talented parkourist, who is blazing fast on her feet. 
[*] Talina is a skilled liar, able to convincingly sell a lie and make someone really believe it. She can also figure out the telltale signs of if someone is lying. Overall she is a charismatic individual, able to falsify emotions and persuade others pretty well. 
[/list]
[b]Weaknesses:[/b][list]
[*] She is quite arrogant, failure is not something she is taught to ever accept. She thinks she is as close to perfect an Imperial agent as there can be. 
[*] Talina has practically been indoctrinated by the Empire, she sees no wrong in anything they have done and genuinely believes they are the best for the the galaxy. She does not take disrespect for the Empire and the (now deceased) Emperor well. It is incredibly difficult to get her to accept viewpoints which conflict with the Empire's.
[*] She's racist against non-humans, looking down upon them and not liking to associate with them unless it advances her duties with the Empire. She does not often speak this racism, but it will occupy her thoughts when dealing with non-humans.
[*] Talina has loner tendencies, a lone wolf outlook which causes her to prefer to work with, and most often spend time no one except herself. She will work with others if it is advantageous, but is not exactly looking for buddies.
[*] While she is a fearsome close quarters combatant, brute strength is not her way to fight. Someone who is significantly stronger than her would be able to beat her if they were to get their hands on her.

[b]History:[/b] Born into a backwater world that she has little true memory of, Talina Eriston's youth was spent under indoctrination by the Galactic Empire. Her family was poor, and she has not talked to them since they willingly gave her away to the Empire for a bagful of credits. She became part of a radical Imperial program, being fist fed propaganda all with the intent of one day becoming an elite agent in service of the Empire. She was taken offworld, to a remote location far from her homeworld. There were others in the program, all young children like her. She'd learn years later that was the best way to properly brainwash them all. A child learns like no other, with no other viewpoints given they will believe entirely in the one most forced upon them. Every single one of the individuals in the program were made to believe the Empire was all powerful and should never be questioned. That indoctrination would resonate with Talina for the rest of her life. The program would later be discontinued after an accident resulted in the deaths of multiple children, years after she had been finished with it though.

The young Talina practically grew up within the Empire, she was given an Imperial approved education which taught her a wide variety of subjects. She would go through testing when not in class under the program, sometimes tasked with brawling or outsmarting the other students, other times these tests resembled actual missions. None of them were life threatening while the children were still that, too young for actual combat or real operations of serious risk. Of course none of them knew that, any failure would be met with harsh discipline. Sometimes it was to be harshly reprimanded and yelled at, this was considered an 'easy way out'. For more severe failures beatings might occur, or being made to repeat the test over and over until an acceptable outcome occurred. No matter how tired they got. Talina made it a habit to avoid failure as often as she could. 

As she reached adulthood Talina would 'graduate' from the program, entering full service under the Empire. She was formally made an Imperial agent, her talents and unquestionable loyalty to the Empire making her a natural fit for such a demanding role within the Empire. She would be sent to Hutt Space several years before the destruction of the second Death Star and the death of the beloved Emperor. Talina was tasked with disrupting any Rebel doings within the sector. She was the part of a small group of loyal Imperialists, each a key cog in the covert military and political operations in the sector. Talina assumed a variety of roles, information gathering being one of her most common jobs. A particularly strange mission involved her having to acquire intel from a drunk Dug with a gambling problem. She's also been notably involved with assassinations and political dealings within Hutt space. A particularly fond memory of hers being her assassination of the disgusting Yaimdrag the Hutt via explosives. The poor slug never even knew what hit him when his palace came crashing down on top of him along with dozens of other victims.

Recent times have not been easy for Talina. The death of the Emperor and the fierce Lord Vader have left her shaken but still undying in her loyalty to the Empire. She still remembers crying the day she heard the news of the great Emperor's demise, it was like she had lost a close family member. Even if she never knew the man personally, she wished she could have met him. Despite all this, Talina knows the Empire can carry on, it has always been more than one person. The so called New Republic does not scare her.
