[b]Roleplay[/b] Foundations [b]Name[/b] Valene Imelia “Imele” Primrose [b]Age[/b] 19 [b]Race[/b] Meran [b]Ethnicity[/b] Gerbil [b]Homeworld[/b] Mera [b]Birthplace[/b] Primrose Keep, City of Liliac [b]Appearance & Personality[/b] A few years ago Princess Valene would’ve been the typical independent princess with brawn to match brains. However, in the time since the experiences she has had in such a short while has tempered and hardened her and it shows on her appearance. Her soft blue eyes have become icy and her beautiful dark hair has gone rough to the touch. Despite such hardening Princess Valene still looks attractive enough to be noticeably cut above the standard smuggler and thief. Valene stands at 5’6”. Even back in her childhood, Princess Valene was fiercely independent with a taste for adventure and trouble. This was attempted to be reigned in by discipline and study, but it didn’t change her in the way her parents and mentors would’ve preferred. She’s headstrong, assertive, and stubborn-- leading a passionate aggression down the corridors of starships and space stations. However, she is not without feeling as can be seen how she looks back on her admittedly tragic memories. Losing her parents and siblings to war and treachery to only be forced to flee for her own survival has left an abhorrent disgust in her heart; towards herself and her enemies. In addition to that she is also decidedly cautious, rarely trusting people completely out front given that one of her closest friends now sits on a throne that lies now on top of Primrose blood. [b]Skills & Abilities[/b] [i]Swordsmanship[/i] - Valene was trained from an early age by the royal guard of her dynasty as was asked of them by her father. She took to it well and would as she got older call upon sword practice as her most favored pastime and by Meran conventions is quite skilled and talented. [i]Galactic Experience[/i] - Hardened by the galaxy and her experiences, Imele has learned how to survive in obscurity as she has become something of a fringer. She knows the ideal choice to conflict is to shoot first and ask questions later, take what you need to survive, and to be careful for who you trust. [i]Royal Guard Conditioning[/i] - In addition to her swordplay, Valene’s body and reflexes have been honed to be able to react and guard against a variety of scenarios. It is due to this that her speed and perception have become quite astute. Her time in the galaxy at large has only edged out these skills even more. [i]Royal Knowledge[/i] - Valene has been educated by the high nobility with some of the most acclaimed scholars on Mera to aid in her education. These scholars also gave her some degree of knowledge within galactic space as somewhat of a scare tactic; telling her stories of ignorant men and women who were taken by the dangers of the decidedly deceptive galaxy. [b]Biography[/b] Valene Primrose was born the third child to the monarch of The Black Lily on the planet Mera, a feudalistic world where the higher nobility looked to the stars with curiosity. The Primrose Dynasty was one of obedience and order, something that made Princess Valene’s childhood quite standout as she took the suffocating environment as oppressive and developed a passionate personality due to it. A passionate personality that also found itself wild and full of curiosity which could only be put into check by the respect she had for her eldest brother, Edric the III, the heir to the throne. Edric was stubborn and assertive, but never talked down to others no matter their ethnicity or gender. As her childhood expanded there became many ways her parents and mentors tried to reign her in so to maintain the presentation of a ‘proper’ princess; this would include introducing hobbies and interests that would most often fail to amuse her in the slightest. That is, of course, until she starting becoming fascinated with the royal guard themselves. Declaring herself “Queen Guard” at the age of eleven years she began lessons that would indeed reign in her outbursts and emotions that believed were being oppressed. It wouldn’t be until she was sixteen when all of the discipline, passion, and order in her life would collapse in what seemed like an instant. An army bearing the flags of the Kingdom of The Red Rose invaded and nobody could imagine why. But the messengers they sent were sent back to King Edric the II with arrows in their back or daggers in their gut-- a worrying sign. This “small” war would indeed seem perilous and when it cost Prince Tidus his own life it became evident that there was no turning back. Whatever the circumstances or the deck stacked against them, the Primrose Dynasty now had their hands tied. Sending Valene into space with two royal guardsman Eron Rinorea seemed to be their last ditch resort when Queen Imelia found herself with little options. And so it would be that Valene would be pushed away from everything she ever knew, just like she wanted when she was a child; a bitter irony. Traveling through Kreat Station, Valene found the next three years of her life to be hell; and the galaxy treated her as it always did to others, harshly and with no forgiveness. As time withered on she became more hardened as she found the barrel of a gun aimed right at her head. In the time since she has found her companion, Eron in critical medical condition as she fears that her past has caught up with her...
