Being the daughter of a former dancer in a Hutt palace has meant that even after having a set of twins she still maintains a good figure and looks. She sports deep blue skin and deep green eyes with deeper blue veining running down her Lekku. Owing to her more pistol centric style of combat ALanna chooses to wear lighter gear into combat, her outfit usually consisting of a leather undershirt to aid in dampening blaster impacts a light brown overshirt and a green pilots jacket worn open to aid in concealing the holster of her RSKF-44.[/indent] [color=Red][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent] [list] [*] [url=https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/011/405/888/large/sergey-kolesnik-r1.jpg?1529424186]RSKF-44 Heavy Blaster pistol + 2x zoom scope.

[/list] [/indent] [color=Red][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent] [List] [*] Pistol Marksman: Since settling on Mandalore Alanna knew that she would still need to know how to defend herself, simply relying on Sable all her life would only get her killed. As such she chose to have Sable train her in the art of Blaster Pistols. Her trusty RSKF-44 was the first weapon she ever fired, at both a target and in anger at someone, the scope which only improved her accuracy at further distances was a 19th Birthday present from her now husband. [*] Mechanical Maintenance: Alanna has spent almost her entire life with a droid as her companion, maintenance and general repair was an absolute necessity. Routing around in Sables internals since the age of 8 Alanna already had a good understanding of how droids worked, and after graduating engineering college with full marks she was offered a droid maintenance at MDY. Whether it be whatever the hell is going inside Sable or the internal wiring of a starship, Alanna can handle it all.

Keeping with her timid use of Sable's true potential Alanna often sells herself short on a number of activities, never truly believing she can be who she wants to be out of fear of screwing up the life she's managed to rebuild quite literally from the ashes of her families misfortunes. But it is not just the fear of failure that keeps her quiet in important situations, there is also a deep seeded feeling of inadequacy compared to those she spends time with. Mand'alor the Paladin, a mountain of a man who she owes a debt to that she feels can never be repaid, Airus, a Jedi of high repute and someone who helped her find her feet on her new home. And Sable, her oldest friend and one of the most lethal beings to still walk the galaxy. Compared to them she often feels small, like her opinions shouldn't matter despite often being told otherwise.[/indent] [color=Red][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent] kind, warm and welcoming, Alanna always sought to be like her father once was, a gentle soul who despite having a hard beginning to life still sought out the best in everyone. Having lost her family at only age 8 and her older brother not wanting to take her in due to prior family tension, Alanna has fully embraced the idea that family is the most important thing a person can have, it keeps one grounded and after witnessing the car crash her brothers life had become without a family to help him she has carried the philosophy over when it came to starting her own family.[/indent] [color=Red][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Saleucami.[/indent] [color=Red][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Born into a relatively well off life on the family farm Alanna spent most of her early years watching her grandfather's workmen plow the fields and stare at her mother. Though she didn't know it yet she was heir to what was left of the Blasaw family fortune, a myriad of vaults and other assets spread far across the galaxy, each one containing different riches to the next, Sable even has his own personal vault on Hoth where his many trophies are stored. Under normal circumstances her older brother Locrire should have been the inheritor but due to him living up to the "accident" part of happy little accident, he was cut off from the family Will. Born to a human father and a Twi'Lek mother, Alanna got all the looks of her mother bit the kind heart of of her father and she could often be found taking the farmhands drinks or food during the day, receiving a pat on the head was all the thanks she needed. Unfortunately the east life she had wouldn't last. During a full moonlit night, only a week after her 8th birthday the Hutts finally tracked down their old rivals. She found herself alone, crying in her bedroom when what looked like the droid she had seen gathering dust in the barn, burst through her window, grabbed her and jumped back out through the rising flames, keeping her shielded from any incoming blaster fire. He left her at the edge of the treeline and sprinted back to the farm, stopping halfway through the field as the barn where her parents and little sister had taken shelter caught fire. The droid that had seemed so determined to go back for them turned around and returned to the frightened girl, reassuring her that he would keep her safe. And so it was that Alanna with her new guardian HK droid Sable would make for the ship which was parked in a clearing beyond the treeline, from there Sable would escort Alanna to her brothers last known whereabouts. But even after finding him it was clear he didn't want to take her in, indeed he stated that he was kind of glad that his father was dead. From there the droid would accompany Alanna around the galaxy acting almost as her legal guardian for another 8 years. It was on her 16th birthday that Alanna would make her first real adult decision, she appreciated Sable, he was family and on a certain level she even loved him. But she knew that one droid couldn't protect her if the Hutts found her again. Knowing that there was only one force in the galaxy that had beaten the Hutts properly before, she and Sable headed for Mandalore and more importantly, for the Paladin himself. Alanna wasn't a fool, however, she knew she couldn't just stroll into his office, she needed a way in and Sable was the perfect one to make it happen. And after a few weeks of searching, he found a way. Making contact with "some Jedi nerd" as Sable put it. Who Alanna would later find out was actually named Airus. The Jedi’s friendly attitude towards the pair and his notable empathy towards the situation that Alanna found herself in was certainly reassuring and within a matter of days Alanna found herself standing in the office of the Mandalore himself. Shutting Sable down incase he decided to insult perhaps her only hope for safety Alanna proceeded to explain her situation, the years on the run, her family history and almost breaking down into tears as she explained the events of that night 8 years ago. Whether it was the promise of whichever assets on the list Sable had produced for her before the meeting or the Paladin was just a compassionate man when he wants to be, either way he granted Alanna’s request. Offering her his personal protection against any attempt on her life by the Hutts and granting her permission to buy property in Keldabe. Settling on Mandalore was one thing but now Alanna found herself with a new need, a job. And after spending 8 years routing around inside Sable’s internals she figured that perhaps engineering would be a good career path, it would keep her head down,l out of public light and hopefully one day allow her to repay the Paladin for his kindness. She would spend the next two years studying in an engineering college, eventually graduating with top grades and finding herself receiving a job offer from the Mandalorian Drive Yards. Be it fate or the Paladin’s intervention she certainly wasn’t going to complain. Now age 31 Alanna finds herself living a comfortable life in the upper areas of Keldabe, marrying Laars Julban, one of her fellow engineers from MDY at age 23 followed by having a set of twins at 25, being promoted to senior engineer of the Droid labour on the MDY. Yet she still manages to find time to meet with Airus who over the years has become a close friend despite Sable’s constant comments.

[*] Thermal Detonators. [*] DH-17 Blaster Pistol. [*] Cortosis weave Vibroblade. [/list] [/indent] [colour=Limegreen][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/colour] [indent] [list] [*] Unbreathing: Due to the rather obvious fact that Sable doesn’t need oxygen to survive, he is often the first to volunteer to enter hazardous environments and to do anything involving space walking. [*] Electromagnetic hardening: Experience taught Sable’s owners that protection against EMP devices is almost essential given the work he would do for them and just because he has gone through a few shells in his time that doesn’t mean the protection isn’t still vital. [*] The bounty board: To coincide with his in-built face scanner Sable also possesses a live link to the galactic bounty board allowing him to profit on any random bounties he comes across, or if he feels like it he could point out to his allies that there are other bounties around that they could cash in on. [*] Voice changer: An ability that was inherent to the body he was placed in Sable immediately knew he could improve upon it to do more than just Clone troopers. After much tinkering with the aid of his master Sable is able to scan people’s voices and replicate them perfectly almost instantly. [*] The ultimate failsafe: The Blasaw family were not idiots, they didn’t accrue their wealth by not investing in asset protection. As such every processor unit that Sable has, be they active or dormant spares is equipped with a failsafe that activates when someone tries to access it without the Blasaw family signature, the ensuing explosion while not large is sufficient enough to remove the intruder from the vicinity.

[/indent] [colour=Limegreen][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/colour] [indent] [list] [*] Amoral programming: Being a droid he knows little of right from wrong Sable would just as soon gun someone down as help them, though he has improved since Alannainstalled programming giving him basic morality, he still prioritises logical solutions than those that “feel right”. [*] Over-Protective: To a droid the concept of a family is about as far from a normal feeling as possible, but after spending over 2000 years with the same family it would be impossible for something with the level of sentience that Sable has to not feel as though the Blasaw family was his family. And with Alanna being the last of her bloodline for 17 years he has become just a tad over protective of Alanna, even wanting a security detail at her wedding despite there being only a dozen or so guests.[/list] [/indent] [colour=Limegreen][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/colour] [indent] Sassy, sarcastic, uncooperative and often downright mean to people. These are just a few of the many glowing reviews that Sable has received in his time. There are exceptions to this, however, if you happen to be a member of the family he's programmed to protect then you can expect only the most helpful and kind droid in the galaxy. And if you are a designated “ally" of the families then you can expect much the same with a heavy dose of his usual traits thrown in. Over the years some additional... quirks have shown up in his programming. No one is sure whether his worship of Gonk droids is a fault or something put in by his previous owners to confuse whoever owned him next.[/indent] [colour=Limegreen][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/colour] [indent]Built on Telos IV sometime after the Revan disappeared. Though he has no memory of his actions before being purchased by the Blasaw family.[/indent] [colour=Limegreen][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/colour] [indent]To know Sable’s story is to know the story of one of the most powerful crime families in the Outer Rim. The Blasaw family, they ruled a criminal Empire for over 2000 years; controlling the spice trade, slave trade and every other type of trade conceivable. Their rule was not without challenge however, Hutt cartels and other criminal organisations were always trying to muscle their way onto Blasaw turf. When looking for personal protection one should never tighten their purse strings, this was the policy that Bretre Blasaw followed when looking for a bodyguard. Enter Sable, one of the finest killing machines ever built, people talk, they can be bought out, or tortured. Droids cannot, with the proper upgrades, software and hardware a droid will keep all your dirty little secrets. Originally just a tool for the Blasaw family Sable performed a number of tasks for them, from personal guard, enforcer and when the family really wanted to make someone suffer, he became their torturer. But Bretre always thought Sable was a little bland, at first, he didn’t even have a name and was simply referred to as “HK” or “Droid”. It was Bretre’s youngest daughter Alemelo who gave Sable his name after finding a serial number on his right leg and thinking that the numbers 54813 were letters began calling him Sable, the name took a while to stick but after Bretre installed the upgraded personality matrix into him an actual name seemed more fitting. However, the good life the Blasaw family had was not to last forever. The unwillingness for officials to be bought and for certain senators to take bribes would see their empire decline as the centuries went on. Their world and his finally came crashing down when a once loyal contact, someone the family had trusted for over 30 years sold their weaknesses and still exposed lose ends to the Hutts. It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t pretty, across the Outer Rim bloody fighting erupted between hired mercenary groups. As the Hutts exploited weaknesses and sold their newly acquired information to law officials, the empire that had stood for over a millennium fell apart at the seams and the family went into hiding, changing names and even some faces. Once in hiding Sable was shut down and placed into storage, less anyone question why a family of ‘farmers’ on Saleucami has an HK droid as a farmhand. It would not be until almost 200 years later when the Hutts ‘found’ the families location that Sable would be reactivated. Thrown into action against the mercenaries almost immediately he made short work of the few that dared face him: first task was to rescue the then 8-year-old Alanna who was trapped in her bedroom. And after hiding her somewhere safe it was onto the rest of the family. But it was as he was running back towards that a message flashed on his HUD. “Get Alanna out. Find Locrire, he’ll keep you both...” Sable knew what the message ending like that meant he just didn't know he was going to break the news to a child. But he did as he was told, he gathered Alanna and made a break for the families ship which was hidden in the trees, shielding Alanna from the view of her home which had been set alight by the mercenaries. Fleeing with the terrified girl they searched the galaxy for somewhere safe to stay, eventually finding her brother living on Nar Shaddaa. But he was not what Sable had hoped for, turning them away and threatening to strike Alanna when she tried to hug him. It was clear to Sable that he was truly no longer part of the family and with his protection ID gone from Sable's system he took Alanna back to the ship, left her with some music playing and went back to teach the shitbag a lesson. The sweet sympathy he left on for the girl drowning out the cries of pain and begs for mercy. After leaving someone he would usually have given his life for as a bloody mess the two continued moving from place to place, never stopping for fear of being caught by more Hutt mercenaries. After almost 8 solid years of sleeping rough and getting by on very little Alanna would eventually take them both to Mandalore hoping that the man who crushed the Hutts once before could in any small way keep her safe as well. And after Sable managed to make contact with some nerd with a glowstick who appeared to know how to contact the Mand'alor, They were in his office and Alanna was making her offer to the absolute unit that sat before them. Unfortunately Sable was not privy to the entire conversation as Alanna switched him off "in case he caused another galactic power to want her head on a stick as well." When Sable was turned back on it was clear that the meeting had gone well and they were soon looking for a place to stay in the city. Over the next few years Sable would see Alanna go from a scared and hurt girl to a beautiful and strong young woman. If he could have felt human emotions for her, he would certainly be proud of the person she's grown into. Even if the new generation that she's produced currently treat him like a climbing frame.[/indent][/hider] [/hider]
