Possessing a classical Hapan physiognomy, Dollshade’s facial features can be described as uniformly elegant, soft, innocent, and alluring, lending her visage a doll-like quality. Her eyes are large and wide-set, producing a strikingly bright blue hue that creates an almost luminescent effect. They are framed by long, voluminous lashes and soft, arched eyebrows. Her skin is porcelain-smooth and fair, possessing a soft, flawless texture that almost seems to glow under light. Her lips are full and glossy, with a natural heart shape and a delicate pink-red color. Her nose is small, narrow, and delicately shaped, with a subtle, refined bridge and barely defined nostrils. Her hair is pale platinum blonde, which she typically styles in a braid swept to one side.
In terms of her facial structure, Dollshade has a wide forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a gently tapered jawline leading to a narrow, delicate chin. These features lend her face a notable heart shape, albeit with some ovular aspects. In particular, her cheekbones are high and prominent, extending slightly outward. These add volume to the upper face and catch light, imparting a soft, feminine aspect. There is a gentle contour beneath the cheekbones, without any harsh shadows. The transition from her cheeks to jaw is smooth, indicating low subcutaneous fat and a refined facial bone structure. Accordingly, her jawline possesses subtle definition, curving inward from the ear to the chin. It is notably tapered and soft, rather than angular. It culminates in a small and rounded chin that features a refined, slightly pointed tip. Finally, her midface is vertically short, and her features exhibit an exceptional degree of symmetry.
BIOGRAPHY
Project Veil was born from a theoretical posed by Regional Overseer Vey Ixar:What came out of this question was Project Veil, an ISS blacksite initiative focused on growing expendable adult operatives through Engineered Variance Cloning. Cognitive imprinting techniques adapted from Imperial cyberwarfare brainwash programs and neuro-mirroring technologies derived from Arkanian research cells were used to train and condition the operatives, turning them into disposable, hyper-lethal assets.
Subject 11, later christened “Dollshade,” was one of the few stable outcomes.
Matured in stasis with nutrients, oxygen, and neural imprint cycling in just twelve hours, her body was made to manifest softness and grace—with Hapan features designed to appear disarming feminine. Her voice—when she speaks at all—is breathy, melodic, and uncanny in its tone. She is a weapon built to look harmless. A lullaby with teeth.
After successfully completing several calibration trials, Dollshade was commissioned as an ISS Asset and given her first assignment under her assigned handler.
TRAITS
Imprinted Training:- Tactical Cognition Modules
- Urban Infiltration and Movement: Parkour-style navigation, silent movement, timing surveillance patterns, exploitation of shadows and dead zones.
- Close-Quarters Assassination: Precision strikes, artery mapping, joint disruption, bladed and blunt trauma efficiency.
- Disguise and Social Blending: Mimicry of body language, emotional suppression, pattern compliance in civilian zones.
- Firearm and Energy Weapon Proficiency: Competency in blasters, dart guns, and slugthrowers.
- Fast Draw Efficiency: Averages ~0.2 seconds from draw to accurate firing.
- Trained in stripping, cleaning, jamming recovery, and heat venting under battlefield conditions.
- Trained in dual-wielding handguns (and SMGs), suppressive shots, and “choke-point discipline” (clearing tight doorways, hallways).
- Explosives Proficiency: Encompasses the construction, deactivation, and tactical deployment of field explosives.
- Mines: She is trained to deploy mines in ambush patterns: tight corners, high-traffic arcs, and door frame edges. She also knows countermine tactics, notably encompassing mine deactivation, trap disarmament, and redirecting pressure triggers.
- Grenades: Capable of calculating bounce angles, blast radius, and shrapnel paths mid-combat.
- Satchel Charges and Shaped Det-Packs: Trained in door-breach, hull-breach, and collapse-demolition tactics. She can effectively attach, arm, and prime shaped charges to disable ships, speeders, ground vehicles, walkers, structures, and bunkers.
- Chakram and Shuriken Proficiency: Trained to utilize chakrams and shurikens as execution tools.
- Chakrams: Trained to angle bounce chakram strikes off walls, ceilings, structures, and other objects to hit multiple targets in sequence. She is capable of imparting chakrams with a spin via throw, akin to a curveball. She can also utilize chakrams as noise decoys, shattering lights or sensors before a silent breach. In addition, she can wield the chakram as a slashing melee weapon in close-quarters.
- Shurikens: Capable of high-speed flick-throw sequences—she can throw up to 4 shurikens per second with trained wrist-flick microbursts, achieving shotgun-pattern dispersal at close range or tight grouping at distance. Pre-imprinted kill patterns train her to prioritize throat, jugular notch, and ocular cavity at varying ranges and angles. Programming also includes simultaneous two-hand throws with opposing spiral trajectories, designed to strike a primary and backup target across split vectors.
- Compact Knife and Vibroblade Proficiency: Vibroblade and compact knife skills are imprinted rather than learned through sparring. Notably (but non-inclusively), imprints include training in fighting in ankle-deep water, in tight environments (reverse grip, compressed stance), and in zero-gravity. Conditioning is also focused on energy conservation and kill chain scripts.
- Garrote and Fiber-Wire Execution: Trained in multiple kill variants: silent takedown, cervical snap, carotid bleed. Also trained in choking for interrogation—preferred for when silence is needed but time is available.
- Linguistic Compression: Pre-loaded comprehension of several galactic languages (Galactic Basic Standard, Huttese, Binary, Hapan, Bothese, Bocce, Sy Bisti, and Imperial Basic).
- Martial Arts Forms and Conditioning Package
- Zama-shwo Variant: A brutal, militarized version of the Zama-shiwo martial art, developed specifically for non-lethal suppression and lethal force transition. Able to alter heart rate and oxygen intake at will, enabling bursts of preternatural capability.
- Teräs Käsi – Fragment Pattern A6: Imprinted as a partial subset, stripped of purely meditative elements. Notably focused on acrobatics, bone strikes, and anti-Force user reflex training.
- Psychosomatic Control Conditioning: Imprinted training taught her how to override natural brain-imposed safety mechanisms that limit physical performance to protect the body. Using induced psychosomatic unlocking techniques, she can trick her body into bypassing or suppressing those limiters at will and in an instant: pain threshold, muscle restraint, and recovery lag.
- Neurokinetic Muscle Control Imprinting: Neural training includes embedded neurokinetic overrides—a mix of bioengineering and imprint conditioning that lets her exert microsecond-level control over individual muscle groups, including fast-twitch fibers. Brain recognizes threat proximity and executes rehearsed, neurologically optimized response chains—akin to a machine running compiled subroutines. As a result, she can execute piston-speed strikes, rapid parries, explosive directional changes, and similar maneuvers in a manner akin to a master Teräs Käsi practitioner.
- Instinct-Locked Combat Sequences: Imprinted with pre-loaded combat chains known informally as Reflex Libraries. These are motion patterns linked to sensory cues (stance, breathing, angle). When she sees a certain body language or incoming threat, her body responds automatically with pre-compiled counter sequences—so fast they feel “inhuman.” Reflex Libraries encompass hardwired feints, grabs, flips, strikes, and more—not trained, but installed.
- Imprinting also includes combat behavior archetypes: thousands of categorized movement patterns, drawn from stormtroopers, Force-sensitives (Jedi and Sith), Mandalorians, bounty hunters, martial artists, and other common combatant profiles.
- Her brain automatically tags threats based on posture, eye focus, shoulder tension, and foot placement. This allows her to pre-act instead of react, giving the illusion of precognition.
- Certain threat thresholds are tied to instinctive movement scripts. A sudden limb entering her threat radius can activate a programmed kill-response. These scripts are trained to activate at the spinal level, bypassing cognitive hesitation.
- Dynamic Combat Routines: Governing her combat decision-making, her imprinting contains entire behavioral trees. These are pre-written “decision branches” for different combat scenarios: single opponent, multi-angle attacks, narrow corridors, grounded positioning, vertical combat, and more. Every motion feeds into a coded response loop that requires no conscious decision—just sensor input → branch selection → execution.
- Soft Imprint Modules
- Loyalty Conditioning: Hardwired reverence for ISS command voices. Certain vocal tones trigger subconscious deference.
- Crisis Suppression: Fear responses chemically and behaviorally muted. Pain is acknowledged and categorized purely as data, rather than emotional expression.
- Sound Blindness: Combat-adapted sensory conditioning allows her to treat vision as non-essential. Her behavior in total darkness, sensor-jammed environments, or smoke-saturated interiors is functionally identical to an unaugmented, yet fully blind combatant who has trained for years to compensate—but achieved in weeks through imprinting and simulation.
- Echolocation: Typically utilizes micro-taps, toe-pivots, or finger snaps to emit non-verbal sound cues. These sounds are reflected off nearby surfaces, picked up by her hyper-trained auditory cortex, and mentally translated into spatial maps in under ~0.1 seconds.
- These are not sonar pings. They act as subtle environmental "pulses", only betraying her position to individuals with hearing beyond human standard.
- Under desperate conditions, she may emit soft hums, breath bursts, or subharmonic vocalizations, tuned to ricochet off tight corridors or irregular terrain. She can calculate the volume decay of her own breath to measure room size, object proximity, and hollow vs. solid structures.
- Auditory Conditioning: She can separate multiple overlapping sounds into layered identities—footsteps, blood pumping, fabric shifting, even tension in someone’s fingers on a trigger. Given enough auditory data, her brain can project a 3D “shadow map” of her surroundings in complete darkness.
- Tactile and Proprioceptive Conditioning: Trained to feel air pressure shifts near walls, corners, or open doors—subtle cues that inform her of transitions or hidden spaces. Her proprioception—an internal map of her body in space—is fine-tuned to adjust posture, spacing, and micro-angles without visual reference.
- Echolocation: Typically utilizes micro-taps, toe-pivots, or finger snaps to emit non-verbal sound cues. These sounds are reflected off nearby surfaces, picked up by her hyper-trained auditory cortex, and mentally translated into spatial maps in under ~0.1 seconds.
- V-STILT Balance and Proprioception Conditioning
- Proprioceptive Index Mapping: Her proprioception—her internal map of her body’s position in space—is razor-sharp due to relentless input-loop reconditioning. Her brain constantly tracks limb position, spine angle, hip torque, and fingertip tension without conscious processing. Even blindfolded, inverted, or underwater, she can recreate her own skeleton in her mind at all times.
- Echo Mirror Conditioning: Conditioned in “echo mirror routines”—training patterns based on classical ballet footwork, Teräs Käsi stance flows, and monastic martial art balancing forms. As a result, she can internalize the rhythm of minute muscle pressure and balance shifts.
- Environmental Tuning Reflex: Her balance responds to the environment with pre-trained microcalibration logic. She can “feel” a floor's incline from the contact pressure in her pinky toe, detect the width of a hallway by the echo of her own breath, and register the subtle difference in humidity or barometric pressure to elucidate whether she's on steel grating, duracrete, or plastiform composite. As a result, she adjusts posture, stride, and strike power before she ever sees the terrain.

Cybernetics and Augmentations:
- FAE/I-02 Hypernervous Reaction System
- FAE/I-08 MultiFocus Implant
- FAE/I-07 Anti-Gravity Acceleration Implant
- Hyper-Lethal Vector: Hyper-conditioned and hyper-lethal, Dollshade is for all intents and purposes a weapon disguised as a Hapan woman. Conditioned for undercover operations, she is rated to perform high-risk infiltration operations into secure areas. She is also a fully capable direct-combat operator—the kind of assassin that can be dropped into a warzone or sent to clean up high-risk targets with overwhelming force, if needed.
- Sonic Conditioning: Although her Hapan eyes are night-blind, Dollshade can perceive her surroundings without sight. She can navigate in darkness through echolocation and other means. Her ability to do so is so acute that she can register minute air pressure differences, discriminate among multiple overlapping sounds, and utilize sound cues to map out her environment. So refined is hearing that sight is almost completely non-essential to her operational efficiency.
- Ballerina Protocol: Dollshade’s senses of balance is anchored in rigorous conditioning, sensorimotor imprinting, and isolation-based training regimens. The result is a hyper-refined kinesthetic awareness that allows her to move with eerie precision—even in zero visibility, zero gravity, or unpredictable terrain.
- Night Blind: While her ultra-refined auditory processing capabilities allow her to compensate, Dollshade is night-blind. If her hearing is by some means compromised, she will be left blind in the dark.
- Disposable Asset: A built-in shutdown switch, traceable isotope tag in her bones, and immune system flaws leaves Dollshade totally dependent on her handlers for survival. Her handlers periodically provide her with fixed-term immune-boosting serums to make up for her immune deficiencies. However, if she is separated from them for prolonged periods, she will fall violently ill.
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW
Dollshade is restrained, but not cold. During training and work, she is hyper-focused, slipping into what her handlers refer to as “lace mode”—a detached trance where movement becomes fluid and speech becomes absent. In more general contexts, her emotions remain muted, internal, and filtered through symbolic responses. She rarely laughs, but often smiles at visual symmetry. She will pause for breath if she sees something that she deems “lovely”. Beauty moves her more than pain.Her quirks are precise and at times, ritualistic.
She adores perfume, favoring a custom blend of mint and vanilla—sharp freshness softened by warmth. She associates scent with memory and controls her emotional state by layering perfume. She also takes religious care of her hair, brushing it in private before and after events—exactly 100 strokes.
