PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Age: 19
• Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
• Species: Inosuke
• Appearance: Brady embodies the striking features of the Inosuke, with smooth, vibrant blue skin that shimmers faintly under light, reflecting her species' Liran heritage. Her hairless body accentuates her sleek, athletic form, with compact, powerful muscles that grant her exceptional flexibility. Her most prominent feature is her cranial ridges hardened, cartilaginous structures that curve gracefully across her scalp, forming a protective, helmet-like crest. These ridges, a deep indigo at their base and fading to a lighter azure at the tips, are highly sensitive to touch and environmental changes, often twitching subtly in response to air currents or vibrations. Kept meticulously clean, the ridges are unadorned, emphasizing her utilitarian mindset, though their natural sheen adds an unintentional elegance. Her pupil-less silver eyes, luminous and reflective, convey an intense, almost piercing focus, giving her a mature, commanding presence. Standing at 6 foot 11 inches, her muscled yet robust build is accentuated by her perfect posture, exuding discipline and readiness. She wears an immaculate, form-fitting standard flight suit in matte black, tailored to accommodate her flexible frame, with reinforced padding around her shoulders and knees to protect her brittle bones. A subtle, metallic utility belt holds her tools and datapad, and her boots are polished to a mirror shine, reflecting her disciplined nature. Her expression is typically stern, with a tight jaw and furrowed ridges, though a rare, fleeting smile reveals a youthful softness beneath her serious demeanor.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Brady Fylan was born into a respected Inosuke family within one of Atrisia's most advanced scientific enclaves, a direct descendant of the Liran altered by the enigmatic Czar Project. Her path was seemingly pre-ordained: a life of academic rigor and scientific innovation, upholding her family's legacy. Yet, Brady found the theoretical and often politically charged world of academia stifling. She yearned for the clear, unforgiving structure of military life, where cause and effect were immediate and a system's success or failure was a matter of tangible survival, not peer review. Her enlistment in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force was a quiet but firm rebellion, creating a rift with her family that she carries as a silent burden. As one of the youngest Inosuke in the service, she feels the immense weight of proving her choice was not a mistake, especially given her species' dark history of genetic exploitation.

Her callsign, "Serious," was assigned without irony and worn by Brady as a badge of honor. It perfectly encapsulated her disciplined, hyper-logical approach to her duties. This discipline was put to the ultimate test during the cataclysmic attack on Coruscant. Stationed on a defense platform, Brady's squadron was thrown into a meat grinder of overwhelming enemy forces. She witnessed the rigid chain of command shatter, her tactical displays devolving into a chaos of lost signals and dying callsigns. Her logical mind calculated the odds in real-time, and they were catastrophically bad. For the first time, structure and protocol offered no salvation, only a predetermined path to annihilation.

In the midst of this rout, her damaged fighter was caught in a tractor beam. Expecting capture or execution, she was instead brought aboard a ragged-looking freighter—her first introduction to the Hidden Path. The rescuers were not a formal military unit, but a desperate alliance of survivors, exiles, and defectors. Their lack of uniformed discipline initially grated on her, feeling like another form of chaos. It was here, in the bowels of the rescue ship, that she was formally assigned as wingman to the most chaotic element she had ever encountered: Tarno "Whyso" Touro.

Their initial partnership was a study in opposites. Brady's Inosuke logic clashed violently with Tarno's raw, Zeltron-empathetic, and instinctual flying style. Tarno operated on feeling and seemingly reckless bravado; Brady operated on calculated probabilities and precise maneuvers. She found Tarno's endless questions and emotional openness to be a profound distraction, a liability she could not afford. However, during a desperate running battle through an asteroid field, Brady's sensors were scrambled. Flying blind, she was forced to rely entirely on Tarno's calm, guiding voice over the comms. Tarno's empathy, which Brady had dismissed as a weakness, became her literal salvation, navigating her through the debris with an intuitive grace no computer could match.

That moment forced a fundamental recalculation in Brady's mind. She began to see that Tarno's emotional approach was not a lack of discipline, but a different kind of intelligence—an ability to read the emotional landscape of a battle, to predict enemy pilots through their aggression or fear. Slowly, Tarno's unwavering empathy began to forge a crack in Brady's stoic exterior. Tarno didn't see Brady as an "Inosuke" first, but simply as her wingmate. In this messy, familial structure of the Hidden Path and Second Flight, Brady found a different kind of order—one built not on regulations, but on unshakeable trust.

She remains "Serious," her logical mind her greatest weapon. But now, that logic is tempered with a hard-won trust in her partner. Tarno has become the emotional anchor Brady never knew she needed, helping her navigate not just dogfights, but her own complex identity as an Inosuke in a galaxy that still views her people with suspicion. In return, Brady provides the steadfast reliability and tactical clarity that grounds Tarno's fiery spirit, making them an indomitable pair.
