Evrain

Name: Sev'rai'nuruodo (Core name: Evrain)(Code Sign: Cipher Seven)
Age: 23
Class: Imperial Agent- Operative
Home Planet: Csilla

_________________


Appearance: Raven-black short hair combed back combined with a oval face with sharp cheekbones, scarlet red eyes, and a scar across his cheek. His body is muscular and lean without being overly muscular. He's around 5' 4" in height with dark blue skin. When not in clothing for a disguise, he wears the usual black Imperial uniform with a blaster resistant cuirass hidden beneath the outer layers.

Personality: To most people, Evrain is a typical Chiss; arrogant, coldly professional and civil, practical minded and capable of being absolutely ruthless. To others, he'll appear laid-back, cocky, and quite a flirt to the ladies when the bosses aren't around. Both views are carefully constructed by him, given to people depending on what he observes would work better to stay out of serious trouble and learn information. Both show him to be on guard, constantly observing, analysing, and keeping himself from being too vulnerable. His real self has a mixture of the two shields. He is rather lax by Chiss standards, but always professional enough for him to not become a borderline pariah. He has confidence in his abilities without being overly confident. He's not naturally social and often enjoys time alone reading or keeping his mind sharp with puzzles, but he has learned to enjoy other people's company at times to help his cover. He's highly pragmatic and highly compassionate, coming up with pragmatic reasons for helping people when able. Though he serves the Empire, his only real loyalty is to his people and he'd feel no real remorse for needing to betray the Empire to do so.

History:

Evrain had a typical Chiss childhood in Csilla. He was a quiet, well-behaved child that did well in school whose well-to-do parents cared for him, encouraged his natural talent and enjoyment for riddles and puzzles, and instilled in him the Chiss principles and virtues. He joined the Defense Force after he became an adult at the age of ten. He proved his mettle in some minor skirmishes with pirates from the Unknown Regions and was chosen to be trained as a member of the Chiss Secret Police. After he passed the training with flying colors, he was assigned the mission to serve the Empire as per the treaty. In addition, Evrain was assigned to spy on the Empire for the Ascendency and give info about strengths, weaknesses, and when the Empire was poised to turn on the Chiss.

His first major challenge was the sheer culture shock of Dromund Kaas. His instructors tried to prepare him for it, but it was still a shocker. Even stoic humans often portrayed more emotion than a Chiss was want to do and everyone else felt that they could be as freely emotional as they pleased in public, especially insane Sith who Evrain soon learned to avoid like the plague when possible. At first, Evrain became more coldly professional than he usually was in an attempt to have some control of his new environment. He got along with most of his new instructors as he went through Imperial Intelligence training and so strengthened his coldly professional persona, but he soon found that he was quickly distancing himself from his colleagues. Since that could prove detrimental to his mission, he observed how they interacted with each other than slowly adapted what he saw to his interactions with them added in with his infiltration training. There were some initial false starts (one which caused the scar on his face when he made an accidental innuendo while trying to disengage from an unsuccessful flirting attempt with a female Rattataki) but he eventually was able to create his cocky, laid-back, friendly flirt persona that became his ticket to socializing.

It was while socializing that he came across fiction that was simply for fun and not concerned with being moral tales. He was hooked from the start, though he fought to keep it on the down low so that it couldn't be exploited against him. Any free moment he had he'd read stories and watch holo-vids, accessed and acquired through various different secret identities. As he finished his new training, he started to dabble in some writing himself. But he never allowed it to get in the way of his objectives.

His first assignments were small time things; get info from Republic bases of little importance, persuade neaturals to fight with the Empire by any means necessary, low-key assassinations. What he reported to his imperial bosses wasn't always the exact truth about what was happening, but he found that he could get away with acting on his compassion as long as he could spin it right or rely on exact words. His successes caused him to rise through the ranks until he became Cipher Seven. Now he needs to prepare himself for a whole new playing field and his next assignment will see if he can still make this work.

Misc: The disguise kit is to answer the question about how could a Chiss agent be successful in an infiltration mission when Chiss are known to work for the Empire.

He's a terrible cook, ruining everything he touches. When on his own, he makes himself survive on ration packs. A well-cooked meal is one of the few things he'll pay through the nose to get.

He has secretly become very fond of fiction stories, particularly action-adventures and comedies, and has even started writing some when he has privacy.

Gwyneria

Gwyn shifted herself to stand up straight behind Cicero while glancing around at the motley crew. Yeah, these guys were definitely not to be trusted especially with how they were eyeing their prey. Though the locked and chained door meant that the proposed sneak attack would have been difficult to say the least. At least Cicero was awake now, though unarmed and unarmored and heavily wounded still. The situation wasn't ideal for a fight now. May as well act nice...for now.

"And we thank you for your hospitality." She answered the captain. "Are we long from the closest port? While she spoke, she prepared in case she would need to cast something soon, gathering and focusing her current energy. Fire would be a last resort spell. Teleport could only be used once and probably knock her unconscious, so no go in the current situation. Ice had various different possibilities from icicles to more slippery surfaces, though she'd need to be spare in her use. Now wasn't the time for healing. A flash of light would blind them definitely, but would need to be immediately taken advantage of, though at least that she could do multiple times. Invisibility would drain too quickly. Illusions...well those could work. A quick Light flash then an illusion of one of their superstitions. Which one would work for this? Gwyn furiously wracked her memory for some figure she could use.

@Spiffy

Any hint on when Cicero will wake up? Gwyn can't in good conscience leave Cicero alone especially with an unknown and the other guy's seasick and so wouldn't be that effective sneaking on a ship. Aside from the headache, thirst, and little energy, she's the most qualified to explore the ship.

@Spiritzer

I guess it does come off a bit like that. :)

Though can you blame her?

Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

The option's more on the table for Gwyn. If the crew has no ulterior motive involving gold and slavery, she'd be content to not fight the crew. If they do, she'd also consider simply stealing a rowboat.

Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

Gwyn's just responded. Graves (@Spiritzer) may or may not want to facepalm, but Gwyn's nervous and knows there's a lot she's not sure of and wants to plan for the eventualities.

Gwyneria

Gwyn cocked her eyebrow at the "captain". "And why, pray tell, should we trust you? Wouldn't we already be with you in your cell if they had any intentions for us?" Though, there could be an argument in the man's favor made as to why there was none of the crew down here to watch the "guests". She'd only heard about pirates from reputation, especially their slaving habits. Unfortunately, all three of them could fetch a fair coin. Well, maybe not their latest member, though looks could be deceiving on just how strong and healthy he was. Cicero definitely would have the strong, healthy male work slave sale value once fully healed (if allowed to heal). She, however, was an elf and most of what she had heard agreed that elves were often seen as valuable merchandise, status symbols for the wealthy. Add in the fact that they would probably figure out she used magic and could figure effective methods to curb her so she couldn't escape...Yeah, the situation really wasn't bright, though one guy might be more easily overpowered and watched if he tried to betray them. Ugh, so many unknown variables. Not for the first time, she wished she could just sense a person's intent behind their actions.

She sighed. "Hypothetically, if we were to take on the crew, how many of them are there? What're their usual stations and rotations? And where would the key to your cell be?"

The Patriarch's Return

Sounds good to me.

Could we help with the adventurer inspiration then? It would be one way to help us get involved in the world.
