Personality: Joan is a loyal and determined soldier who takes solace in performing her duty to the First Order to the very best of her ability. Joan does possess a hint of uncharacteristic compassion which she extends to fellow Stormtrooper and Military personnel. Joan' perceived compassion would draw the ire of her officer peers and superiors if it wasn't for her adherence to following orders with a ruthless efficiency that is expected of First Order Stormtroopers. Joan prefers to be given vague orders so as to decide the most efficient, ruthless and timely way to accomplish an objective though will usually not disobey a direct order thanks largely to her mental conditioning as a Stormtrooper. FN-888 despises unlawful behaviour which is epitomised by the likes of the Hutt clans, petty thieves, slavers and political corruption.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapon of Choice: G-11F Blaster Rifle
Combat Function: When Joan enters a firefight or battle its' often within one of the many vehicles within the Ironguard, typically a menacing black "Elite" AT-AT called "Malachor", when dismounted Joan wears an experimental suit of semi-powered deflector shielded Stormtrooper Armour that ended up influencing future First Order Powered Exoskeleton Designs.
Strengths:
- Lethal Ranged Combatant - In terms of traditional Infantry combat, the Stormtroopers of the First Order are without peer and Joan is no exception, trained from childhood on a variety of weapon systems issued to the First Order Military and even systems issued to rival forces. Joan's marksmanship techniques and skills have been drilled down to a fine art with a near 100% hit-rate on targets within and at one-hundred meters with a G-11F in her hands.
- Structural Inhibitor Chip - During the third trimester of her embryonic development, Joan was implanted with a Structural Inhibitor Chip which is a common feature of Clones as it is believed to prevent psycho-chemical disorders in the subject and monitor aggression. The function of Joan's inhibitor chip is regulation of aggression, predisposition towards obedience to suggestion from lawful authority and is programmed with a safeguard against psychotic behaviour through a safety protocol activated by a code-phrase known only to her creators and Erik Sterren that will temporarily place her into a hypnotic trance. In day to day life, the Inhibitor chip predisposes Joan towards nightmares which she experiences chronically, they manifest as her alone in Darkness with malevolent spectres taunting her while she can do nothing but listen. It also has the unintended effect of making her permanently more vulnerable to the likes of Jedi mind tricks regardless of her determination to fulfill her objectives when compared to other Stormtroopers.
EARLY LIFE
- FN-888 was 'born' "Erinys Sterren" and adopted by Erik Sterren who later volunteered her for Stormtrooper training when Erinys was only five, while this is older than most Stormtrooper conscripts it is still young enough that Erinys has almost no memory of Erik Sterren. FN-888 struggled initially with Stormtrooper training, she was too independent and did not fully appreciate or understand teamwork, her ruthlessness reminded her trainers somewhat of the Stormtroopers who served the Empire and how they were trained to disregard friendly casualties. However, this would not be the way of the new First Order and as such FN-888 was scolded appropriately and shunned by her squadmates.
- After a light beating at the hands of her three squadmates, FN-888 becomes more team-orientated and actually strikes up a friendship with FN-7777 "Sev" who she shares a competitive nature with. The four Stormtroopers working together might for an incredibly efficient team within their company, their instructor. An NCO and Stormtrooper Veteran of the Empire would constantly extoll "You don't team unless your team wins! Your team is your Squad, the FN Corps and the First Order!" This mantra worms its way into Eight's skull and she would remember it for life, laying the foundation for her empathy and compassion for her fellow Stormtroopers and First Order Military Personnel.
- At the age of thirteen, FN-888 now known affectionately as "Helden" for her bravery under fire and mysterious quiet presentation when off-duty is promoted to squad leader within her platoon and with Sev, Deadeye and Shrapnel board the Imperial Star Destroyer called the "Whisperer", this vessel had been retrofitted for service with the First Order and though and older vessel its armament was no less impressive. It is at this age they constantly run their vivid combat simulations on a deck of the Star Destroyer. Live-fire exercises aboard the Star Destroyer allowed the supersoldiers to intensify their trust in one another.
- For her fourteenth enlistment anniversary aboard the Whisperer, Helden's squadmates gifted her with an Imperial Stormtrooper helmet to remind the young woman what it was they were fighting for; The legacy of the Old Empire and Old Republic, which had been stolen from them by insurrectionists, terrorists and criminals. Though Stormtroopers are supposed to be nothing but extensions of the First Order and the Supreme Leaders' will, Helden cannot deny the intense personal attachment she forms with the helmet as an extension of her squadmates. FN-888 proved herself as "Helden" when in a training simulation she protected her squadmates from hostile projections to the point of executing those who attempted to surrender in the middle of the simulated battle.
EARLY EXPERIENCE
- FN-888s platoon is deployed from the Whisperer to an Outer Rim world with the aim of exterminating the local criminal gangs, Helden deduced it was likely because of their proximity to First Order territory they might observe the First Order and sell information to the Hutts or some other underworld organisation. It was a lightless evening when Helden's shoulder was pressed against the wavy metal wall and her eyes were fixed on the neon lights around the guarded doorframe of the Club house. When then the order came from a feminine voice within her helmet. "Breach! Go!" Two red flashes from the barrel of her rifle and the pair of guards dropped followed up by the screech of a shoulder-fired rocket launcher that blows the reinforced durasteel door off of its hinges. The Stormtroopers charge in behind Helden who shifts her fire selector into full-auto with left thumb, through the smoke she finds alien scum on their hands and knees, others lay on their back dying and a few challengers dare to raise their pathetic blaster pistols to her gleaming white armor. "Fire" Helden ordered and with her three Troopers they slaughtered the surviving gangsters.
- Shortly after assaulting their designated clubhouse, Helden ordered the place to be disintegrated and so the First Order Stormtroopers plant timed charges at the corners of the building before evacuating on an Upsilon-class command shuttle and remotely detonating the charges after take off, the rest of her platoon scored similar victories in the local area, Helden received a hefty amount of praise from her peers for taking lead after her Platoon Commander and Platoon Sergeant were incapacitated on the same lander after receiving a hit from a rocket-armed sentry when attempting to land. Three-eight's performance leads her to be officially promoted to Sergeant and provided with a Pauldron to signify her newfound rank.
- Triple-Eight is sponsored entry into the Stormtrooper Officer Corps by a mysterious benefactor whose name would be beyond memory for her now as a fully mature Human. The Sponsorship was influenced by pending disciplinary action after it was revealed by a rival NCO that Helden was privately critical of her Stormtrooper training; believing that for most it discourages creative thinking and innovation. The Sponsorship was accepted only after some Agent from First Order Security Bureau became interested in the combination of Loyalty, Skill, Independent thought and creative thinking. Helden arrived at the officer academy and felt somewhat out of place and quickly identified somewhat of a disgruntling double-standard, as an Officer Cadet she felt treated like royalty in comparison to how she was as an enlisted Stormtrooper. The Officer Cadets she thought had an undeserved air of superiority around them, many justifying it with their family associations. Helden felt alienated, while the other Officer Cadets introduced themselves with full names, she only had an operating number and nickname.
- Helden excels in her studies and often shows up the raw officer cadets, a few of them attempt to impress her after Helden reveals previous combat experience against the enemies of the First Order. On one occasion at the range, a tall cocky red-headed male jokingly points an F-11D towards a peer only to be physically accosted by Helden who witnessed the negligent handling of the blaster and furiously shouted expletives at the cadet after disarming him to the grinning approval of the Stormtrooper rangemaster. It is a brief and accurate statement to conclude from this that Helden excelled at practical exercises but was average in the realm of classroom theory, though interestingly enough the propaganda produced at the academy reinforced to Helden the assertion that the First Order is superior to the Old Empire, although inwardly she does often wonder how does one maintain control of a territory as large as the galaxy without Superweapons or a Bureaucracy.
- Helden graduated from the Officer Cadets as a full Lieutenant with the First Order Army, though the real reward came in the form of a name that she decided to choose for herself an identity she could choose rather than given to her by the FN Corps, Helden chooses the name "Joan Lunor" while this seems insignificant and petty for a normal human. For Joan, the assuming of her own identity as a person like the Officer Cadets she'd befriended gives her a stronger sense of individuality and independence. Joan returns to the Whisperer after her receiving her commission to assume the position of Platoon Commander for her former Platoon, which includes her former squad now lead by Sev.
