Force Sensitive: Suspected / unregistered
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Lyra is a lean, athletic young woman built for high-G maneuvering and long hours in the cockpit. Her blonde hair is usually tied back or braided, and her sharp blue eyes track movement instinctively. Her posture reflects quiet confidence, though she is far more comfortable flying than standing on solid ground. Faint smudges of engine grease often remain on her hands from years of working with ships. She typically wears practical flight clothing, augmented by a personal neural-link flight suit when piloting.
INVENTORY
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Lyra is bold in the cockpit but quiet and reflective outside of it. She values independence, trusts actions over words, and has little patience for politics or bureaucracy. Protective and empathetic, she instinctively risks herself to save others. Despite her skill, she struggles with self-doubt about the source of her abilities and fears being exploited by powerful organizations. She believes in carving her own path, maintaining freedom, and mastering her craft on her own terms.
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
HISTORY / EXTENDED BACKGROUND
Lyra Ventor came into the galaxy in hangars and transit docks, the daughter of two pilots who had lived very different kinds of sky.
Her father, Rennic Ventor, flew small cargo haulers between Commenor and its neighboring systems. His ships were old but reliable, and Lyra spent much of her childhood wedged under consoles, naming fuel pumps and repulsors like pets. By six, she could identify a faulty coolant regulator by the pitch of the engine's whine. By ten, she was flying simulators to calm her nerves on nights when Rennic was running late.
Her mother, Novessa "Starhawk" Ventor, was something else entirely. A decorated ace with a legend that followed her like a contrail, Novessa had stepped out of the cockpit at the height of her career. Lyra grew up hearing just enough stories to idolize her mother — and just enough silence to suspect the truth was heavier than medals could balance.
Novessa tried to keep Lyra grounded — quite literally.
But some children aren't meant for the ground.
The Incident at Thresh-Colony
When Lyra was sixteen, everything changed.
Pirates struck a mining outpost where her father's ship was docked. Defense grids were offline for maintenance. Panic rolled through the station. Rennic was trapped inside the loading bay with civilians who had nowhere to run.
Lyra found a forgotten skiff in a hangar — ancient, patched, barely spaceworthy. She didn't think. She flew.
She took that underpowered relic into open combat, danced it through fire and vacuum, disrupting the raiders long enough for Union security reinforcements to arrive. Most pilots would have died trying. Lyra returned with a scorched hull and trembling hands — but breathing. So were the civilians.
The headlines called her a prodigy.
Military recruiters called her parents.
And they said the same thing:
"No untrained teenager should be able to fly like that."
Lyra brushed it off as adrenaline and luck.
Her mother did not.
Unwanted Attention
Novessa shut the door on every offer: military, intelligence, private investment firms with friendly smiles and too many waivers.
When Lyra argued for the chance to join flight academies, Novessa's calm cracked for the first time in her life:
Someone had once tried to turn Starhawk into a weapon.
She would die before letting them do the same to her daughter.
Grounded
So Lyra stayed on Commenor, earning a civilian flight license and taking maintenance work where she could. She ran local deliveries, ran rental ships when tourists needed a pilot, and tried not to resent every ship that left orbit without her.
But every night, she dreamed of stars rushing past her canopy and a quiet voice urging her to push farther — faster — beyond charts, beyond fear, beyond reason.
And sometimes… she wakes knowing exactly what will happen that day:
A warning, a flash of motion, a sense of danger blooming in her chest.
Just instinct, she tells herself.
But instinct doesn't see the future.
The Legacy She Can't Escape
People recognize her. Some as "Starhawk's girl." Some as "that kid who saved Thresh-Colony." Others — unnamed, quietly dressed — watch her too closely and ask questions that make the air go cold.
Her mother intercepts most of them.
But not all.
And Lyra has begun to realize something:
She isn't the only Ventor with secrets.
Her mother didn't retire because she was tired.
She retired because someone — or something — out there wanted her to keep flying.
Novessa refuses to talk about what she saw in the Outer Remnants before she quit.
But Lyra has seen the haunted look in her eyes when certain star charts appear.
And when Novessa thinks Lyra isn't listening, she whispers to her old flight suit:
Nineteen, independent, and burning with restlessness.
A prodigy with nowhere to point her talent.
Unaffiliated — but far from unnoticed.
She wants to believe she's free.
But she's already a piece on someone else's board.
The Quiet Twist
Lyra thinks she's chasing a future.
But in truth?
Her past — her mother's past — is racing toward her, engines hot, weapons primed.
And when it catches her…
it will change everything.
