Sherizara has smooth, rich, dark brown skin and a soft oval-shaped face with gently rounded contours. Her jawline is smooth and subtly defined, tapering into a small, rounded chin that features a faint dimple at its center. Her nose is small and refined, with a short, slightly upturned bridge and delicately flared, narrow nostrils. Her lips are full and plump, dominated by a strongly curved lower lip, which typically paints a deep, glossy violet-purple that lends them a wet-look shine.

Among her most striking features are her large, almond-shaped eyes, which tilt gently upwards at the outer corners. They possess warm, deep brown irises and are framed by long, thick black eyelashes. She accentuates her cheekbones with highlighter that imparts a subtle golden-yellow shimmer, extending from the inner corner of each eye along the lower lash line. Her eyebrows are thick, well-groomed, and naturally arched, following a smooth, high curve that enhances the expressiveness of her eyes. Her hair is typically done in long, thick black braids. These braids are tightly woven and pulled back from her forehead in neat geometric partings. A few fall forward over her shoulders, while the majority are gathered into a high, full bun. Finally, her ears are small and are most often adorned with large, ornate gold earrings that feature prominent oval green gemstones set in intricate frames.

Her neck is long, slender, and graceful, forming a smooth column that flows seamlessly into softly rounded shoulders. These are gently sloped and toned, with subtle muscle definition beneath her skin.

BIOGRAPHY​

Cast into existence from the cloning vats of New Alderaan, CN-2800 was created as part of a limited batch of clones marked for service in the Imperial Navy, rather than the Confederation Guard. Her genetic template, sourced from a Hapan lineage, was selected for its perceived psychological profile: aesthetic refinement, cognitive agility, and a cultural disposition to rigid social hierarchies. These traits, her creators believed, would one day facilitate her forging into a perfect Imperial officer.

She formally enlisted in the Imperial Navy soon after her creation, before being deployed to an Imperial Naval Training Center only two days after decanting. CN-2800 found herself immediately at home in the Navy’s rigid structure, as she innately viewed the unyielding protocols and strict chain of command as a fortress against the presumed uncertainty and chaos of the non-Imperialized galaxy. She excelled in technical simulations, her highly plastic mind allowing her to latch quite readily onto the clean, binary logic of systems and power flow. It was this aptitude which saw her recommended for the gunner corps. Thus, after graduating from basic training, she began the Weapons Systems Technician Course.

It was here that the generalist training she had previously received was focused on the sacred specifics of destruction. In this, she learned the song of an Imperial warship: the deep hum of a turbolaser cannon as its emitter coils charged, the sharp crackle of an ion Cannon building to a discharge, and the relentless, staccato rhythm of point-defense laser cannon arrays.

Her innate abilities flourished. Her honed senses proved exceptional at tracking minute fluctuations on targeting scopes, and her mind, conditioned for structured problem-solving, excelled at calculating firing solutions and diagnosing power flow bottlenecks. She learned to feel the weapon systems as part of her own body—to know when a tremor in the deck plating was a normal recharge cycle or a precursor to a catastrophic overload.

After completing her training at the top of her class, CN-2800 took on the name Sherizara and was assigned to a prestigious posting on the INV Sularen’s Revenge. Her career would begin in the coveted role of Primary Gunner on one of the vessel's point-defense cannon batteries.

TRAITS​

Flash Training:

• Core Imperial Conditioning
  
  • Foundational Knowledge and Language Imprints
    
    • Linguistic Matrix
      
      • Basic (Galactic Standard), Imperial Basic and Hapan are her primary languages, hard-wired as if they were native tongues. A foundational vocabulary in High Galactic (a more formal language used for state functions, oaths, and official documents) is also implanted to instill a sense of tradition and gravitas.
    • Historical and Civic Data-Core
      
      • A comprehensive, yet curated historical knowledge set centering Imperialism and the civilizing influence of true Imperial states.
        
        • Basic Galactic Astrography
          
          • Core knowledge of major trade routes, hyperlanes, and the general political layout of the galaxy, identifying the Confederation as the central, stabilizing power.
    • Scientific Fundamentals
      
      • Understanding of basic physics (gravity, momentum, energy), chemistry (atmospheric composition, toxins), and biology (major alien species identification, basic human physiology, first aid). This is a theoretical framework, not applied engineering.
  • Cognitive and Psycho-Social Conditioning
    
    • The Unity Imperative
      
      • "The Individual Finds Purpose in the Whole". This is intended as philosophical grounding. It encourages clones to seek identity and achievement through service to the state, framing personal ambition as something that is fulfilled by contributing to the collective strength.
    • Structured Problem-Solving
      
      • Implanted with logical frameworks (e.g., OODA Loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and systematic troubleshooting trees. This creates a population of naturally analytical and process-oriented thinkers.
    • Adaptability & Stress Inoculation
      
      • Neural pathways are conditioned to remain highly plastic. Through simulated neural experiences, they are conditioned to remain functional and make rational decisions under extreme stress, loud noises, and sudden changes in the environment.
    • Aesthetic and Cultural Appreciation
      
      • Imprinted with an appreciation for Imperial art, architecture, and music. This notably includes styles that evoke order, power, grandeur, and discipline (e.g., symphonic marches, neoclassical structures). This fosters a sense of cultural identity surrounding what is "beautiful", tying it to the values of the state.
  • Physical and Neural Motor Programs
    
    • Neural Motor Coordination
      
      • Advanced fine and gross motor skills are pre-programmed. This includes balance, coordination, and the neural pathways for complex physical tasks. Clones emerge with the physical grace and control of a highly trained athlete, but must still learn specific combat forms or weapon handling.
    • Physical Regimen Protocols
      
      • Subconscious familiarity with calisthenics, strength training, and endurance exercises. The clone’s body can anticipate and adapt quickly to a rigorous physical routine, making basic training more about strengthening and skill-building than starting from zero.
  • Loyalty and Behavioral Conditioning
    
    • The Pillars of Imperial Virtue
      
      • The concepts of Duty, Discipline, Order, and Loyalty are embedded as core moral virtues. Acts embodying these principles trigger a subconscious positive reinforcement response.
    • Identity Imprint
      
      • All clones know they are vat-grown. This is not hidden. The conditioning frames this as a privilege and a purpose: they were created with a clean slate, free of the baggage of a chaotic galaxy, to build a better future. Their "birth" is in the service of the Confederation.
    • The Chain of Command as Natural Order
      
      • Respect for rank and structure is ingrained as a fundamental, unchangeable law of reality, similar to how one understands gravity. Questioning a lawful order is a cognitive dissonance that feels inherently wrong.
    • Threat Recognition
      
      • Basic, subconscious pattern recognition for behaviors labeled as "seditious" or "chaotic". These include uncontrolled mobs, unregulated information, refusal to acknowledge authority, and various other scenarios. This creates an instinctual unease around such environments.
  • Practical and Administrative Fundamentals
    
    • Numeracy and Data Literacy
      
      • Instinctive comfort with mathematics, statistics, and the operation of standard data interfaces. Clones understand percentages, logistical scales, and basic data analysis.
    • Basic Cyber-Hygiene
      
      • Fundamental knowledge of information security: password protocols, recognizing phishing or malicious code attempts, and the importance of operational security (OPSEC).
    • Imperial Lexicon and Procedure
      
      • Knowledge of standard reporting formats, how to address superiors of different ranks, and the meaning of common alarms and ship-wide announcements.
  • NB: Listed skills are non-inclusive.

STRENGTHS

• Technical Perfectionism: Sherizara’s fastidious and diligent qualities makes her one of the most technically proficient gunners on virtually any ship. Her weapon system is always in peak condition, her logbooks are flawless, and her understanding of her assigned battery’s quirks is encyclopedic. She defines readiness standards in such a way that her commanders often seek to replicate her performance across an entire unit, forcing everyone to elevate their preparation in an attempt to reach her level.
• Loyal and Reliable: Her trust in the chain of command means that her loyalty is virtually incorruptible. She will execute any lawful order without question and will maintain her post until physically incapable. Her comrades can rely on her to do her duty, always.
• Unshakeable Composure: Sherizara’s poise and steadfast mindset makes her nearly impervious to panic. While others might be overwhelmed in the chaos of battle, she can maintain a state of cold, focused clarity. Screaming alarms and a shuddering hull are data points to be processed, not reasons for fear.

WEAKNESSES

• Severe Social Friction: Sherizara’s extreme standards and intolerance for mess risk making her difficult to work with. She could be perceived as a condescending, judgmental perfectionist. These traits might alienate potential allies, foster resentment within her crew, and make her a poor candidate for leadership roles that require interpersonal nuance.
• Fanatical Blindness: Her zealous nature makes her vulnerable to manipulation. A superior officer might need only frame an order with Imperial rhetoric to secure her compliance, even if the order is strategically unsound. She struggles with critically evaluating the morality or wisdom of a command, only its lawfulness within her rigid framework.
• Mud Person: In a galaxy where the majority of the population is Force-sensitive, Sherizara’s lack of connection or attunement to the Force is a deficiency that limits her capabilities compared to others. This is especially relevant for a gunner who might expect to regularly engage trained enemy Force-sensitive pilots, commanders, and fleeters.
