Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Charm: Natassia is, objectively, quite beautiful in her own right. Her ethereal, alien charm is certainly useful in a plethora of situation, which she is learning to use fully.
+ Quickdraw: Quick to react and lightning-fast in making a new plan, she deals with unexpected events quite well, which is what mostly allowed her to become a Special Operations Commander. More recently, this has proved useful in assassinations and the likes.
- Slave of her impulse: Natassia may have achieved her long-sought dream with her transformation into a Seiarenei, but she is now forever haunted by the deep effects of the Hunger, a desire for flesh that can be numbed, but not sated. She is doomed to become feral one day, should she survive long enough for the degeneracy to root itself inside of her. And the worst thing is that she has embraced the Hunger and actively seeks out prey to devour.
- Not as tough: She used to be a super-soldier, a one-woman squad with the ability to break someone's neck with limited effort: but her transformation and the subsequent reduction in muscle mass, along with a newfound weakness to heat and fire and a slower healing rate have greatly reduced her ability to take enemies head-on.
Equipment
ASSAULT LOADOUT:
Natassia has reforged herself in the fires of war. She did attempt to stop herself from killing at a time, but her resolve soon cracked as the shadow of doubt slipped into her mind. She went back to being a killing machine, clad in the Hoplite Mk II power armor and wielding a M82 Assault Rifle and a XR-32 Light Machine Gun. She sometimes exchanges the XR-32 for a M15 Wolf. These weapons have a voracious appetite for ammunition and are considered too "overkill" to carry by standard troops; Natassia thinks her weapons only reflect who she truly is.
PRECISION STRIKE LOADOUT:
With her change into a Seiarenei, Natassia's weaker body now forces her to analyze situations more carefully. Some problems she could tackle head-on cannot be adressed this way anymore, and those are the moments when she stores away the HOPLITE armor and the heavy weaponry, going for something that requires more finesse. Less brute force does grant more precision, although a bit less of a devastation potential. In this mindset, she is clad in [-] armor, and armed with [-]
Biography
Natassia Traxen was a girl born on Coruscant during the Rise of the Empire era. She was quite a jovial, happy child, until her father was killed in a crossfire between rebels and imperials. Despite her mother's pleas, she enlisted in the imperial academy, bent on ridding the Empire of violent elements like the rebels. She successfully graduated, and sent her pay to her mother so that she could live an easier life. Fighting the rebels on several worlds, she was zealous in her duty, believing genuinely in Imperial propaganda; for her, the galaxy could be at peace under the rule of the Emperor, and so she fought on with the hopes of a possible peace. Natassia cared about her fellow troopers, which attracted the ire of her commanding officer, as her behavior went against the morality ingrained into stromtroopers during their training. Nevertheless, she became a squad leader exactly a month before the first Death Star was blown up.
This event dealt her a heavy blow. Many of her friends were aboard the space station, and so all pity she had left was crushed; she led her squad in relentless assaults, thinking less and less strategically and acting out of vendetta against the Rebellion, cold and ruthless in her war of extermination against them. When her NCO came to relieve her of duty, she killed him and passed it off as a Rebel attack, her popularity among her squad giving her enough backup for the charges to be dropped. But all changed when she was stuck with her team aboard a Star Destroyer, too damaged to make a slipspace jump. Knowing the Rebellion would board it for Intel, they helped a shadow trooper destroy all coordinates and killed the navigation personnel as to avoid them to give any info to the Rebellion if they were tortured. She then took the decision of freezing her squad so that they could avoid Rebel scanners - and they did, except that the Empire never found them. They drifted through an asteroid field before being stuck onto an especially large rock formation, staying there for centuries, until the systems finally awoke the crew, right before dying out, having ran out of power. Natassia was shocked to learn that her entire squad had died during the process, their "wakeup" far too quick for them to survive. Overcome with grief, she went aboard an Imperial transport and fled the ship, but not before setting up its core to explode once she was far enough.
Progressing through this new world was hard. She learned the hard way of the Empire's fall - and at first, she refused to accept it. Republic forces engaged her, and she responded in kind, thinking they were Rebels, before fleeing, calling on Imperial channels for reinforcements. It was only as she held a bartender at gunpoint that a member of the cantina told her the full story of the events that had transpired since her absence. Depressed and with no reason to live, she stole several bottles of alcohol and went on top of a neighboring house, planning on drinking enough to jump, when she heard a man threatening a woman and her children. Seeing he was the mobster of a crime lord, sent to collect their "protection pay", she shot him dead, her sense of duty acting out before she could think about it. Albeit shocked by her armor, the family thanked her and gave her a home for a time. It was during this time of deep thinking that she knew what her duty was. The Empire was no more, and she couldn't fight the Republic on herself - but she could do what she enlisted for. She could protect the people from danger, as she had always aimed to do. Flying to Thelos IV, she became a vigilante, ruthless in her fight against what she deemed wrong, becoming quickly a renowned figure.
She would eventually join the reformed Galactic Empire; fitting in easily, although she never got used to the new chain of command. Promoted to Lieutenant and then Captain after bravery and tactical brilliance during several battles, she felt a rising feeling of sickness in her stomach. The Empire was her life; she was but a woman stuck in time, and she tried to stay true to the ideals she lived by centuries ago. And yet, when the Empire moved to vanquish the Silver Jedi, she snapped. Betraying the only comrades she ever had, she took her ship and fled to the defense of the Jedi... and of one of her (many) lovers, pacifist Jedi Serenna.
Now a Wanderer, Natassia only waits to see what fate might throw her way next. A renegade, errand knight bent on redemption and justice, she is a force to be reckoned with, despite how self-destructive she has turned out to be.
But fate has a way of spinning things unexpectedly, and so, after the invasion of Mirial by the Silver Jedi Order, in which she fought against the Sith Empire's Valkyries, she has grown more and more curious to what the Sith can offer. The depravity that lies within her is growing stronger and stronger as her attempts to quell her hedonism seem to fail, leaving her with a desire that keeps building up. As she stands on the brink of sanity, she started to consider indulging her primal needs, damning her duty in the process...
Unable to deal with the rush of her own feelings, she abandoned the Jedi, making her a twice-betrayer as she joined with the Sith, allured by the promises of riches and satisfaction for her peculiar desires. Now a mercenary, she sells her services to the highest bidder, although she is trying to establish a healthy relationship with the Sith Empire, whom she has become a citizen of. Taking jobs going against the interests of her new faction is a no-go, as she knows fully well what the Sith do to betrayers... and what they grant to those who serve well.
This reward came in the form of the transformation she so longed after, Vanessa Vantai granting her a species change. Turning from a human entirely into a Seiarenei: pleased with the results, Natassia adopted the culture of her new kin and was renamed Chryseis. In thanks for this service, she has officially joined with the Sith Empire.

Ship
Jhiaga's ship is one of the (formerly) very advanced TIE Defenders, even enhanced in the fact that it has been equipped with a slipspace drive. Schematics here.
Weaponry
Natassia is a killing machine, raking up kills after kills with shotgun, assault rifle and automatic pistol. Her kill count is hard to keep up, and her violent tendencies make some bodies impossible to identify. Especially bitter after losing her last organic arm to a Jedi, she adopted a lightsaber she had looted off of said Jedi and took to murdering those who scarred her so deeply. It is only after she left the Galactic Empire that she decided to switch to non-lethal weaponry. Killing was much too easy for her, and for every person she sent to an early grave, she went further down into her own personal hell. Equipped with stunsticks and non-lethal weaponry, she used her peacekeeping armor in several conflicts and skirmishes before her restraint was broken by the intervention of the Valkyries. Switching to the Hoplite Mk II, an expensive, reliable armor, she went back to her use of automatic slugthrowers and heavy machineguns.
Finesse was required after her transformation into a Seiarenei, and so she adopted a more gracious style of combat, consisting of avoiding enemy fire and striking with more precise and close-range weapons. Although she is not as effective as she used to be, it is well worth her survival.
