Physical Description: Emelie stands at a modest one-hundred and seventy-eight centimetres tall or five feet and ten inches. Not so modest about Emelie beneath the uniform, pilot's fatigues and armour is her contoured athleticism and olympian level physique. Emelie's strength and endurance typically dwarfs that of her peers, capable of carrying an average male Stormtrooper, his armour and equipment over the shoulder with relative ease. Thin and slightly arched eyebrows sit above Emelie's almond shaped eyes, iris are a pale blue with a hazel-gold wreath crowned around pupils which can occlude her iris colour from a distance. Observers tend to find the combination attractive or interesting and is a result of a naturally occurring mutation. Emelie cuts her hair to roughly Jaw-length so as to not get in the way of her helmet but leaves it untied if not unbrushed, a characteristic of some Special Forces pilots. Emelie's nose is a sharp shape that tapers into a subtle 'button' with narrow nostrils, with a full pair of lips sitting pursed beneath the nose.
Gender: Female
Build: Athletic
Skin Colour: Light
Eye Colour: Blue (Central Heterochromia Iridium)

Uncommon or Specific Features?:
- Emelie despite her athleticism and olypian physique cannot hide the fact her hands are quite small and feminine beneath inspection, which contrasts generally with her powerful physique.
Character Personality: Emelie is best characterised by her courage, skill and enthusiasm for flying and helping her fellow pilots. Emelie is a tried and true war hero who often puts the lives of civilians and particularly comrades above her own. An advocate for Order over Chaos, Emelie has always been an ardent supporter of First Imperial philosophy although sometimes she is quietly disturbed by the zealotry in which the First Order's goals are pursued. It should come to no surprise given her ability to critically examine the First Order, despite a lifetime of pro-imperial propaganda that Emelie is quite intelligent if somewhat arrogant and proud at times. This characteristic leads her into situations where she takes on problems larger than she can deal with alone. This characteristic once cost Emelie her life and she is now aware of it, even so, it remains an omnipresent part of her character. Emelie's enthusiasm for flying is second only to her skill. Emelie is competitive and challenges pilots in her wings and squadrons to perform bold and ambitious deeds from the cockpit so they will improve their own skill. This competition finds itself being Emelie's source of thrill and laughter when flying, she takes joy in playful banter and grandiose often ridiculous boasts.
Character Habits/Quirks:
- Has a noted unconscious habit of marching easy, it's rare to see Emelie walking "Normally".
- Emelie exhibits impeccable posture throughout her everyday activities giving her a deceptively "Uptight" and unfriendly appearance.
- Emelie is a classical music enthusiast and has a habit of whistling or hymning the Galactic Empire's Anthem.
- Taps feet against the floor rhythmically when seated.
- Enjoys playing Dejarik in her spare time.

((Emelie character theme))
"Deserts sound absolutely horrible, as do Tundras. It stumps me that any sentient would want to live in such a place, why? why!?"
-A young Emelie
- Emelie was born on Dosuun some forty-five years ago as one of two children; unidentical twins with different appearances. Emelie's brother was named "Erik" by their parents; Alyssa and Harald Sterren. The two twins were considered inseparable from one another. The relationship that Emelie and Erik shared as children was one of deep adoration and closeness, both shared an education and entertainment activities leading the two to develop similar characteristics and interests. Although, sometimes the interests were expressed differently.
- Both of her parents are humble working people who teach their children the virtues of honest hard work and initiative. That sometimes it is the path less travelled with the greatest resistance that is worth walking the most, as it allegedly built good moral character. Emelie's world-view becomes very grounded by these assertions and learns to take nothing in life for granted. Especially her family which is small and closely-knot, everybody knew everything. In such a personal environment it was difficult to keep secrets and Emelie never desired to.
- The close personal relationship between Emelie and Erik starts when they are children, the two would share the same extra-curricular activities including swimming, athletics and playing a flight simulator competitively and cooperatively with each other. Their parents accepted one fact about the twins are children; where one twin was caught engaging in some mischevious act or another, the other was at least condoned the action. Fortunately, they were both poor liars and when asked if they were up to no good, they'd usually tell the truth or be forced to laugh at their own deception skills or lack thereof.
"I'll join the Starfighter Corps, how bad could it be? At the worst, I'll get a nice uniform and at best show up everyone."
-Adolescent Emelie to Parents
- The First Order remnant military on Dosuun identifies Emelie as a potential pilot after health reports forwarded from her school come into her local military medical officer's possession. Emelie's visual acuity, reflexes and coordination measurements were impressive, and so the medical officer arranged to have Emelie recruited into the First Order's Starfighter Corps if it had not been for the young woman's growing interest in flying her parents would have refused the offer. It wasn't about credits or tax breaks but rather principle; Emelie was their ten-year-old daughter and the two fiercely protective parents weren't about to give her up for any amount of tax breaks. Alas, it was Emelie's lust for flying that pushed her to pressure Alyssa and Harald into relinquishing her unto the Starfighter Corps. It nearly tore apart Alyssa and Harald's marriage for the former rejected the idea, while the latter begrudgingly accepted his young daughter's will.
- Flight training comes to Emelie with surprising ease, the young woman was a prodigy and the jealous envy of peers. Such was her balance, coordination and snake-like eyesight that a sample of her blood was examined again for significant midi-chlorian count though returned negative. Emelie was good and she knew it occasionally alienating her teammates with boasts of skill. Emelie was disappointed to be shunned by her peers and so turned her energy towards encouraging them without pointing out her obvious superiority. At the age of twelve and a half, Emelie receives her first posting aboard a Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer for practical implementation of her training at the Dosuun aviation training centre. It is here that Emelie's antics earns her the attention of Special Forces Command after she successfully shoots down two pirate craft before landing and capturing the second downed pilot. They continue to observe the potential ace's career with great interest.
- Inevitably the First Order's Special Forces came hunting for Emelie and she was practically forced to volunteer for Special Forces training by her Squadron Commander. In the blink of her blue eyes, Emelie finds herself go from being the best pilot in her wing to average amongst the candidates pulled from across the First Order for Special Force's selection. It was a long-needed humbling experience and helped the eighteen year old mature exponentially, what proved to be beneficial for Emelie was the level of trust the Special Forces operators were required to put into one another. Emelie was forced into the gunner seat of an special forces variant of the TIE fighter and forced to put complete confidence into the skills of her peers. Emelie manages to graduate albeit barely and only after retesting on virtually all of her assessments; she never did do much by the book and managed to maintain critical thinking skills despite a lifetime of pro-imperial propaganda. Prying eyes believed the young pilot to have immense potential if not necessarily for leadership than skill. Few special forces pilots were so young or relatively inexperienced, a rare exception to the rule of dropouts with those traits.
"Tell my family I'm sorry."
-Last transmission of HX-752
- Emelie leaves a small corvette's worth of fighter wreckage in her path across the unknown reaches with Rancor Squadron led by Dietrich Bexley. The Squadron were often tasked with anything from unconventional warfare dismounted from their fighter craft to interdiction of unlawful in Dosuun's sector hex. War Hero status came to the young pilot after she risked her own life to rescue a pair of squadron members who has crashed, Emelie performed the rescue with cover from the rest of squadron but despite this was put under heavy blaster fire by pirates and being subsequently shot through the thigh and just above right hip. Emelie managed to get her craft out of the atmosphere before falling unconscious due to blood loss and would have died with the two injured Pilots if not for the FIV Defiler, a nearby Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer which managed to rescue the Special Forces personnel. Emelie would spend a significant time submerged in a bacta tank aboard the defiler. Despite being scolded by Dietrich later as reckless, Emelie stumped the squadron leader by demanding to know what he would have done in the same situation.
- During an engagement within the Unknown Regions of Space Emelie managed to score another three kills from the seat of her special forces TIE fighter, officially making the twenty-something-year-old a certified ace. Dietrich henceforth nicknamed her "Ace" to compliment her enthusiasm and skill in flying. Emelie in the company of her Squadron pilfers a number of vintages from the Defiler's cargo hold, destined for junior officers aboard the Star Destroyer. The Pilots take these bottles down into a makeshift bar they'd built beneath the mess hall deck and become highly intoxicated. At her comrades' insistence, Emelie performed a victory dance atop the table the squadron was sat at, to the thud of boots against floor and elbows against the black polymer table. This memory despite the inebriation stays with Emelie and is the moment she truly falls in love with the First Order and her Squadron. Emelie would happily follow the many aces who had come before her into an early grave for Dietrich or any other member of their squadron. And go to the grave prematurely she will.
- A First Imperial Light Cruiser was in distress, under attack by a well-armed mercenary force who were intent on capturing the ship and seizing the data of its navicomputer. The FIV Defiler being the only First Order vessel in range was having issues with its recently replaced hyperdrive and so its' commanding officer authorised Dietrich Bexley to take his squadron out into hyperspace to Rendezvous with the stricken light cruiser. Emelie was amongst those who went. the jump was short a mere system away and she arrived to find the Light Cruiser being boarded and drifting through space. Dietrich decided to take three fighters and dock with the Light Cruiser while the other Special Forces pilots engaged the Mercenary craft. Emelie scored no more than three kills before one of their pilots found himself and his co-pilot in distress, with five different uglies in pursuit. Emelie attacked the pursuing fighters and managed to destroy one before three bogies decided to pursue Emelie. With the rest of the Squadron busy, she was forced to take evasive manuevers around the Light Cruiser and two mercenary pilots collided with each other. That's when Emelie's luck ran out through and her TIE fighter disintegrated around her. Emelie miraculously survives initially only to quickly discover her life support system had been sliced open of a piece of solar panel and rapidly began leaking oxygen. Emelie struggled in vain against the damage, floating away from the Light Cruiser, steadily she loses sensation across body and freezes in the cold dark vacuum of space. The FIV Defiler arrived not long later, the mercenaries defeated Emelie's body was recovered and placed into stasis. Emelie's body stays in a perfectly preserved state of suspended animation in Erik Sterren's custody. For two decades he tries without success to get his beloved sister back from the cold jaws of fate with the help of a Kaminoan Geneticist and Biologist named "Kama Re".
"Geneology and background report complete. Sources verified Subject: Sterren, Emelie. Starfighter Corps Pilot, after graduating she entered the special forces and was placed under the direct command of Lieutenant Dietrich Bexley aboard the FIV Defiler. Sterren's parents reside in the rural hubs of North-West Avalonia. Sterren's Father is a captain in the merchant navy. Sterren's mother is a cook in the starboard mess hall aboard the FIV Wrath. Her desire for social interaction, physical contact, affection and support predisposes the subject to make poor judgements and decisions. Assistance may be labelled as obsession if you indulge in, persist or objectify the subject. Also be mindful of psychological projection. Voice analysis of the audio logs detects various indicators of positive communication and physical behaviour." -Dr. Kama Re's notes on Emelie Sterren
- Emelie Sterren became Dr. Kama Re's test subject for treatments he had been devising to revive cryogenically frozen individuals, particularly those close to death or even early post-mortem. Initially, he failed and Erik Sterren requested that two clones be produced from Emelie's genome so that some semblance of his sister would persist in the world. The first clone was a near perfect replication of Emelie and the second was an expression of recessive phenotypes in Emelie's DNA. Both were adopted by Erik and both eventually adopted for unknown reasons. Dr Re over the course of fifteen years devised a combination treatment combining Gene Therapy, Organ Cloning and Flash Imprinting provided to damaged parts of the brain. The funding for Dr Re's experiments was provided at first by Erik Sterren himself would have become an important public servant and later the First Order Science Division when Dr Re required greater funding for the research endeavour.
- In the early hours of a sleepless morning within the reunified First Order, Erik received a page at his luxurious Dosuun residence. Kama Re had received approval from the science division to move ahead with the plans to begin reconstruction of Emelie Sterren, given her status as a war hero and commando. Dr. Re had decided to use cybernetic implants across Emelie's skeleton to stimulate cell growth and this also started the production of red blood cells. Emelie's skin which had been cryogenically frozen returned to life along with her internal organs. Brain damage was minimal and what damage there was Dr. Re corrected with flash imprinting, similar to what was used on clones. Dr. Re also applied gene therapy to repair and strengthen her genome which had been damaged slightly by a lengthy stasis. Emelie has been kept in a medically induced coma through she exhibits encouraging levels of brain activity.

Character Future: Emelie will probably be doing Pilot and Commando stuff in the near future with the First Order. As a Special Forces Pilot sometimes she'll get down and dirty with the grunts slogging it on the ground. She might eventually move into government service like her Brother or become a commissioned Officer in the Navy depending on where Emelie's career takes her, the universe has changed since her two-decade odd long rest. Those decisions will come in time.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Weaknesses:
- Light Armour: When Emelie goes into battle on the ground, she wears her special forces pilot armour which while protective offers little protection to the lower body from full-powered blasters and ballistic weapons. This makes Emelie more vulnerable to injury when on the field of battle. The Distinctive black armour and red flashes on helmet also make it easy to identify her as something of uncommon quality or important.
- Fear of Vacuum: After being killed by asphyxiation in a vacuum it shouldn't be unsurprising that Emelie will have developed a bothering fear of space itself. It's cold dark emptiness frightens her greatly and for this reason, Emelie finds flying in a vacuum unnerving and requires greater concentration on her part. Emelie is greatly frightened of having to fly in a vacuum without support given it will mimic the circumstances in which she died.
- Pride: Emelie's pride sometimes makes it difficult for her to ask for help even when she inwardly wants it. This forces those around her to be able to pick up subtly when it's obvious Emelie needs help with something. Often, Emelie will only ask for help when she is being overwhelmed and at that point it's likely she'll verbally abuse and potentially alienate others. The exception to this flaw is her close family and friends who she is more at ease with being 'weak' around.
- Cybernetic Skeletal Implants: Emelie's skeleton has been reinforced with a synthetic weave which in addition to stimulating cell production also makes her bones significantly more difficult to break albeit not unbreakable. This gives Emelie an advantage when fighting hand-to-hand or other situations where the skeleton might be stressed significantly. In the event Emelie's bones do break full recovery time is also reduced by about an estimated 33% to 50% depending on the type of fracture/break. Additionally, Emelie can produce and replace red blood cells quickly which is useful for healing and peak muscular performance.
- Gene Therapy: Gene therapy was provided to Emelie as part of her treatment. Genes damaged by her lengthy suspension in stasis and death itself were repaired or replaced. Kama Re also saw to it that his patient's genome itself was purged of 'undesirable' qualities. Removing the possibility Emelie will develop disorders or disabilities directly or indirectly caused by mutated or damaged genes. Emelie has become one of the most genetically fit and robust humans alive at the hands of the skilled and amoral Kaminoan Scientist.
- Ace Pilot: Emelie is by combat standard an Ace pilot with five or more confirmed hostile kills, this is reflective of her skill behind the cockpit of a TIE fighter. Though she has only ever flown ties and this skill won't necessarily translate to other spacecraft she is unfamiliar with. Although with that said Emelie is fairly proud of being able to fly nearly anything from TIE Fighters, To A-wings. That said she isn't familiar with how to operate complex armoured vehicles such as tanks or walkers.
- Commando: Special forces trained and proficient. Emelie has been provided with advanced military training and is a match for almost any combatant on the field, she is proficient with most small infantry small arms and especially at disarmed fighting where she has been giving years to build up an olympian physique and it shows when Emelie will pick up a stormtrooper taller and heavier than herself over shoulder.
NPCs Commanded: None.
