---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
- Obsessive Compulsive: Things around Alyssa must remain absolutely orderly and symmetrical otherwise it can drive her up a wall. That and she does have to return to her door, three times to ensure it's locked. While the disorder could be more devastating to her, beyond those small traits it doesn't have a huge effect on her life.
- Cancer: Alyssa does have a rare and slow growing form of Cancer that will eventually take her life. It is something she does everything within her power to keep hidden from the public and even her own family, fearing what it could do to her career.
- Hopelessly Addicted to Cigarettes: Self explanatory.
+/-Honest near to a fault: Something she learned from her father a long time ago, if you are always honest there is nothing you have to keep track of and remember. Honesty even for a politician sometimes is the best policy. Alyssa will always be absolutely honest, even if it might have been better to lie.
+ Skilled in Combat: Growing up in the political spotlight, did not keep her father from seeing to it that Alyssa was properly trained and more than capable to defend herself. Given the current state of affairs in the galaxy it seemed an absolute must if she was to walk in his footsteps.
+ Natural Empath: Without the force, this came as a gift from her dearly departed mother. An ability to read others' emotions with ease as well as if she isn't careful push her feelings onto others without being able to hide what she is feeling. A gift and at times a curse. If she was gifted to with the force, this talent might be a good deal stronger but thankfully that is not something she has to deal with.
APPEARANCE: Lovely fair skin, with dark brown eyes and hair. Slender built but surprisingly strong.
BIOGRAPHY:
Alyssa was born into a wealthy political dynasty. Her great great grandparents started the Onasi family into politicians and each successive generation followed in the footsteps of the one before them. So, thus the most Junior of the Onasi family was already destined to follow in her family's footsteps even before she was born.
Growing up in high society, going from events to balls, to the Senate, all watching and ever learning what would be required of her to take over the family business at it were. Even being a shy young girl she soon learned to overcome that and fell rather naturally into public speaking. She was quite passionate with her many interests and what she viewed as injustices in the galaxy, from poverty, to healthcare, to the environment. It was all things she wanted to see changed.
Her father had Aly along at his side for many years as his political aide before he finally decided it was time for him to retire and her to made her run for his Senatorial seat. It took little effort on her part to win. Her family name alone was nearly enough for her to win.
A Page from the Journal of Alyssa Onasi:
You know growing up I never imagined of doing anything else. The path was already laid out in front of me. My father, and his father before him, and his father before him. All of them, politicians in varying degrees, culminating in a galactic senate seat. It only seemed natural that I'd follow in the same footsteps, that same path. Sure I had the girlish dream of being a dancer at one point but those fantasies soon faded away as I learned more about what my father did and the people he helped. I wanted to be just like him, doing the same things, helping as many people as I could. I never really looked back from there. It seemed the perfect thing for me. Helping others, however I can, through the means in which my father taught me.
Now that I'm here I can't help but be frustrated with the bureaucratic process. Progress, all of it is tied up behind so much red tape and stalling. The people who need it most are forced to wait while things are debated in committee only to die there without help ever reaching. Without their voices ever being heard. That is painful to watch, and I hate it. That I wish would change. Who knows maybe I can help to be the change that is needed. I'm still hopeful. Even with being so new to the Senate floor myself, I'm still hopeful that things will get better.
If I could dance forever on the edge of a blade, I would. Forever in danger, and trapped between two worlds. One of good and one of utter darkness. At a moment I could fall forever, and be lost to all I know.
But here I stand, on the edge of a blade. I'll fight every battle I must. I'll to what I can to protect those who need it most. To be a voice for those who have none. For those who cannot raise a hand to strike at the evils of the galaxy. For those that feel trapped, I am your defender, your voice, your light. I will protect you when no one else will. I do this for you. I dance on the blades edge for you.
Here I stand between the candle and the star. Here I am on the edge of the blade, living and dying for you.
Here I am...
SHIP: - none yet -
KILLS: None.
BOUNTIES COLLECTED: Not in this lifetime. That is not my job, nor is it in any way right.
