BIOGRAPHY

Born on Ryloth in a time of great galactic turmoil, Alema has grown up as a survivor above everything else. She survived her adolescence on a treacherous planet, where the heat of the midday sun can bake a Blurrg on the sands. She survived the vice of the Hutts, whose slavers often took girls like her away, never to return. She survived the trip to Coruscant aboard a rickety tramp hauler, stuffed in the hold with hundreds of other desperate poor like sardines in a can. She survived the streets of the endless city, scrounging for her meals while she struggled to get a footing on the alien world. She even survived the grueling boot camps of the Navy, taking her place on ancient starships to elevate herself out of poverty.

But finally, after all that, she found something worth more than just survival. The Galactic Republic, which had long been a mere political fiction, was being born anew. The promises of the Senate and the Supreme Chancellor seemed like what she'd waited her whole life for: a chance for the people to control their own destiny. Her work on the "ground floor" of the Coruscant Home Fleet got her foot in the door. She leveraged that into a position as adjutant on a corvette, for now, but her aims are higher. The galaxy belongs to the people now. She'll make sure of it.

Personality

Alema is a fighter. She's fought for scraps her whole life and that colors her perception of the world. She sees everything as a battle, where simple mistakes can have grave consequences. That's good for her as a strategist, but it gives her a mixed reputation with her fellow crewmen. She treats her compatriots with respect, but demands peak performance of everyone, herself especially.

Because of her background she's keenly aware of the way Coruscanti sailors look at her. She's an alien, and a Twi'lek to boot, so she's had to deal with her fair share of insults and come-ons. It hasn't stopped her, but digs about her past and her species are sure to get under her skin.

Current Assignment

Alema is currently on the crew of the Empress Teta, an aging Malfeasance-class corvette re-christened for the Republic Navy. As First Officer, her duty is primarily to organize the crew and make sure things are working properly before, during, and after a battle. Informally, she also commands away missions and deals with transport piloting, ferrying officials to and from the ship and overseeing supply runs to nearby planets. It isn't the most glamorous job, but it's the first rung on the long ladder to command. As Alema knows well, hard work and dedication are the only way to make it in the galaxy.

Can you link the weapons and ship to write-ups in the tech boards?

Everything else is fine. Just a fore-warning that while your character can be stationed on the corvette, your character doesn't have control over it and an fyi capital ship pvp isn't really much of a thing here (and admins would have to okay their usage in pvp as well)

Still though, profile looks good. Like seeing more Pub characters. Tag me when the tech gets sorted and I'll take another look

Got it fixed, I think. I submitted one aesthetic gun for generitech and the rest I changed to stuff from the list.

Decided to re-do the equipment entirely, going with already accepted weapons. I'll figure out the tech system later, but approving the character is more important.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Approved
