@FantasyChic Try Asari, it's even harder.

@Hellis What fun is a RP without a revenge angle or two thrown in?

Valiss T'daios

Name: Valiss T'daios

Race: Asari

Sex: Mono-gendered

Age: 188

Class: Adept

Appearance:



Valiss stands 5'10, her figure in shape and athletic from years of intense training. Her most notable features are the markings above her blue eyes.

Background:
Valiss was born on the Asari homeworld of Thessia, her mother a nurse and her father a veteran Turian military man. Valiss was an only child of the couple. She couldn't have asked for a better planet to be born on than Thessia, the crown jewel of Asari space, low on crime, disease and many of the problems other planets faced. Her parents were polar opposites in their parenting styles, her mother kind and carefree, but her turian father disciplined and highly honorable.

Her father pushed her towards joining the Asari military, her mother supporting her with whatever she wanted to do. She went in to the military shortly after reaching adulthood, a few weeks after he father passed away. His death was what ultimatly pushed her in, when she was very young he had often entertained her with tales of his life as a soldier, the glory and unity that it brought him. She hoped to one day tell her child tales of her own military service. Life in the military was one as a full time professional, from the moment she joined her education turned to readying her in every way for life as an Asari commando.

Her training was intense and long by other species standards, decades of strenuous activity and mind sharpening exercises. Martial arts were a key aspect for an Asari huntress, even if she was fighting a larger opponent at close quarters, her knowledge of martial arts would allow her to seize the fight. Her biotics were also focused on, her entire race was capable of biotic powers, but a key component of the commando's combat style was harnessing such powers.

Asari had not fought a major war for decades and as such commandos were not traditionally taught conventional warfare, instead guerrila warfare was the focus. Valiss was partnered with another Asari, Lisal Jatari, Lisal would become one of her closest friends, though their relationship had a hint of rivalry to it. Lisal was a few years older than Valiss, with more experience as a commando. As such she acted as a mentor to the younger Valiss. They would undertake several special operations together, their main targets the vices of the galaxy, slavers, gangsters, war criminals. Assassinations of targets were not out of the norm, nor were strategic ambushes, they were the expected way to fight.

Lisal and Valiss had become a potent team, then more current events started to occur, and Valiss' life changed. The two were sent on a covert mission to Omega, the task to assassinate a Krogan crimelord Vrumar Kurd. Kurd had a list of atrocities he had committed, murders, torture and most notoriously, dealing of slaves. While he was stationed in Terminus Space, an area which the Asari government typically avoided, Kurd had been very known to kidnap young Asari, he even had his agents venture to Asari worlds to take their people. He was deemed as a high level target, also a high risk one. The commando duo went in carefully, undercover at first, they managed to track down Kurd to a warehouse on the station.

The two planned an ambush, for days they staked out of the area, Kurd had an array of paid guards watching his back. They waited for the perfect moment to strike, then did so, bombarding the guards with a barrage of biotics and weapon fire. It was a spectacular move, catching their enemies completely off guard. The Asari tore through Kurd's hired help and bashed their way into his warehouse where the krogan had taken cover inside. Then it all went wrong as they entered a room, both of them took fire from above, Kurd had placed more of his hired guns inside and lead the Asari into an ambush.

Under heavy fire, Lisal noticed a fuel tank on the other side of the room. Despite Valiss' warnings, Lisal shot a barrage of bullets into it, igniting the tank. Kurd was killed in the blast, but so were a dozen slaves he had hidden in a nearby room. The innocents never stood a chance as the ignited fuel burnt them alive. The mission was completed, but at a terrible cost, they were supposed to rescue the enslaved, instead they had killed them.

The two faced consequences for it, unexpectedly Lisal had turned her back on her partner, framing the reckless Valiss as the perpetrator. The two Asari at that point had been equals on the combat field, but Lisal had been a commando for longer, her word stood stronger. They believed her, and Valiss was dishonorably removed from military service. Lisal was also punished, though she was not discharged, a fact which greatly angered Valiss. She did not face criminal charges, but the discharge was more than enough. Valiss pledged she would get back at Lisal, for the next couple of years she took up freelance mercenary work in the Terminus systems.

She received an offer and took it. Hoping that the work it would provide her would be enough to help her forget some of her past.

Max nodded at Mr. T's reply, by the sounds of it security seemed to be as was expected. Though the weathered Ronin always expected tricks with the security, there often was and it never hurt to be paranoid when dealing with such a high profile mission. Kidnapping a CEO was risky business, only an idiot would have 'normal' security.

He glanced at the legwork information, thinking of what he could do to make the job easier. Evie pipped in with her own words, she was going to speak with the hacking genius. The Yakuza lead interested him, but so did the chem dealer. He could easily abuse and 'convince' such a man to do something with his dealings with the guards in the tower. Johnny Masahiro, that would be the giant's lead. Then again, the Yakuza was a different, possibly more prosperous lead.

"And I will go after the Yakuza lead. I have encountered them in the past. One of you could accompany me, if not then I can deal with it myself." Max muttered in his unique sounding voice. He liked going solitary, but the Yakuza were tricky to deal with. Another Ronin helping him could possibly help him get what they needed.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

~| 18:20 - 18:24 GST |~
~| Denso, Aboard the Kaggath: Prison complex |~

"You are correct, we should try to find a way out of current predicament." Denso said, the younger Jedi was correct. Though he was unsure if she was just trying to avoid listening to his words. He didn't think they should try to rush an escape though, none of them had any weapons, nor in depth knowledge of the ship. They would have to figure more out first about the ship or pray for rescue.

"I fear the Darth is planning something sinister, as they most often do," Denso said with a smirk. Then his expression changed to one of seriousness. "I would venture to guess that they want to turn us to their twisted side. That was what the goal was on my last time on held captive in Sith hands, that and extracting war information, but I doubt the second is why we're here."

"I'm not sure where the others are. I can sense others in the cells and around them, though I'm not certain who is missing. I only recently arrived after all, have no introduced myself to many of the other Jedi." Denso said. It was the truth, he wasn't all that certain.

Star Wars - Escapists

Iela

"I hope a droid built for shooting can in fact shoot someone, especially an unarmed prisoner." Iela said back to the droid, a taunting smirk on her face. The machine talked had practically lectured them rambling on about how it didn't fear the Imperials. She was right, it wasn't going to kill any of them, it seemed to want them to escape, which was a sensible plan but one they would need to actually figure out first.

"The hammerhead is right, no need to duel or execute her. A dead body would only make everyone in this blasted crawler more uncomfortable." The Twi'lek said, one eyebrow raised at the Togruta that had spoken out about receiving a trial or death. If she wanted that then she could have thrown herself at an armed guard outside of the transport before they all had been jammed inside of it. She didn't need to inhale the stench of a dead corpse while she was in here.

"We should try not to kill each other, yet. At least until we get out this rustbucket." Iela added as she noticed the crawler had taken a turn, maybe the pilot that was whining before had decided to help with the escape, or they were just going a different route. She hoped for the first possibility.
