Mir'aziel'thraw/Raziel Thrawn

The communicator chirped as Raziel typed out her current report. She only spared a glance to see what it said before making sure to switch it back to watch mode.

"What's that, Razzy?" Her boss leaned over, peering over her shoulder while his breath rustled her hair. "Is there some important meeting I forgot? Or has the time really flown with our dictations?"

"It's not for something on your calendar, Mr. Hopkins." She pulled herself closer to the desk and started packing everything away. "If you will recall, I reported that I had found a lead on a new start-up that could potentially aid in speeding up production of military drones." She then stood up and turned around, standing perfectly straight with her computer satchel over her shoulder. "It was only last night though that we finally arranged a time to meet, and that time happens to be now. My apologies for not telling you sooner. It simply, slipped my mind."

Hopkins leaned back with a smirk. "I suppose even you can only be human once in a while. Though of course, I do believe some compensation would be appreciated. Do I have any Friday dinner meetings scheduled?"

She mentally went through it, but what she feared revealed itself. "None currently, sir."

"Then schedule us for such a meeting. 6 pm. Wear your best dress and I'll take you out somewhere nice."

"Very well, Mr. Hopkins. I'll return later with a report on if the start-up is worth your time or not."

"Do that." He dismissed her with a wave of his hand before turning back to his computer.

Raziel then started out the door, white-knuckling her satchel the whole way from the office until she was finally outside. Only then could she start to relax. If she was to continue working under Mr. Hopkins, she could certainly use a better cover story for any Power Ranger activities such as their meetings. Perhaps the Blue Ranger had had something in mind before...She shook her head. Best not dwell on that. The only person she could rely on for help was herself, and so she would need to come up with a better plan.

She soon separated from the crowds of the street and stepped into the wilderness, allowing the unbusy simpleness of nature to clear her mind while she walked along the hidden trails to the Outlook and made sure to gently teleketically cover up any potential footprints. All the while, she mentally debated the facts of the matter to herself.

Fact 1: It was important to keep an eye on the Department of Defense. If the Empire attempted to infiltrate the nation's military again, it would be best if there was someone who could stall such snowfalls before they became avalanches. Also, if the nation or other nations were to attempt to backstab the Power Rangers or were to find out anything about where the previous Rangers were, it would be best to have someone in a position to see the warning signs ahead of time. Both were things that of the current Rangers, she was best in a position to do. And so, to abandon her position would potentially lead to a failure to protect Earth, leading to its conquest. Counterpoint: She was in a position that her former superiors knew about, meaning that she was also vulnerable to being taken down through that or to just be worked around. However, there was little that she could do to mitigate that factor unless she wanted to create a whole new human persona and too many benefits to let the risks outweigh them. Meaning she needed to stay where she was if possible.

Fact 2: There was nowhere else she could be in the Defense Department and still have access to the data she had. A secretary of a contractor had access to info that most wouldn't have unless they were a full time high ranking military personal or a military contractor themselves. She couldn't lose her job then and expect to be able to somehow recuperate her data in other ways. However, since she was hired by Mr. Hopkins and it was no real secret that she was hired mostly for the look of her disguise, no decent more suitable contractor would be willing to hire her and those contractors that would were likely to be no better or even worse. Therefore, staying Hopkins's secretary was her best option. No matter what that entailed.

Fact 3: If she did not come up with a more solid explanation she could somehow schedule in yet also make reasonable to create unexpected emergencies, he would make that an excuse for more date 'invites'. But what would serve that purpose that would be reasonable for her to engage in without making Mr. Hopkins a part of it?

It was at this point that she came to a ridge overlooking the valley, the sun gleaming down upon the bustling grey city and the gleaming green pine trees alike. She took another breath in the fresh air, enjoying the moment. It was for this that she worked to protect and save. In this, she couldn't fail. Squaring herself up then, she turned away then headed on up to the Outlook.

Somewhat what she looks like

(Sourced from Hanonaut on DeviantArt.)

Personality
On the outside, she seems fully cold, calculating, and ruthless, appearing the pinnacle of what a Sci'Etsio is
supposed to be. On the inside though, she finds herself caring too much for her own good. She cares about the
Earth, the natural beauty of it's nature. She's curious about the fantasy and fiction that the people create.
She finds herself wondering about the random people she sees across the street; what their lives are like,
their hopes, their dreams. She doesn't know how to express any of that though, besides fighting to protect them
as best she can and to sometimes do minor acts to help. When not in a professional setting though,
she feels way out of depth so she keeps up the cold, calculating exterior to make things simpler.

Skills
Martial Arts:
She was trained to fight if the need should arise. She's best with one-handed pistol-type guns, but she also knows her way around a sword. She was also trained in her race's form of bare-handed martial arts, a krav-magna/karate-esque one that uses minimal telekinesis to try to get the opponent off-balance and take them down quickly. She's not very physically strong though so she prefers to stay out of direct combat whenever possible.

Hacking/Tech Support:
She knows how to get into networks and extract what she needs while getting around firewalls and other systems meant to keep her out. She also knows how to run and repair most tech.

Powers
Species Typical Powers:
Sci'Etsions are a psychic race. Near all have telepathy and telekinesis though to varying strengths and some
have rarer powers (of which Raziel has none). Their powers require strict control and tend to become erratic
if they become too emotional. They also cost energy to use over time.

Telepathy: Able to sense minds, mentally communicate with them, and even dive into them if she chooses
to. However, she also ends up feeling the person's emotional state at that point as well and can be
kicked out if resisted.

Telekinesis: Able to move things with her mind. Isn't the most powerful of her species, but she's well
trained. Can only move up to a car-sized object and if doing so, she has to focus fully on it. However,
she can pick up smaller things at once, able to pick up more things the smaller they individually are.
For instance, she could cause a rain of near endless pebbles but would only be able to cause a building
to slow down it's fall. She also is best with moving solids like rocks. Liquids can be somewhat
manipulated but it takes her full concentration. Then gas and plasmas like fire have their atoms too
scattered for her to be able to control.

Background
The Sci'Etsoions have always been a proud people, certain of their superiority over other races due to their powers, their technology, and the fact they managed all this while surviving the harsh cold of their home ice world of Etsio. It truly vexes them to now be subjugated to Emperor Qyi Nos. But the Velcron army had the numbers to overwhelm any Sci'Etsoion advantage, and then their children would kidnapped and made hostage until their parents submitted with a child killed per day that they retained their defiance. It did not take long at all then for the surrender to be finalized.

Afterwards, Sci'Etsoions were chosen for many specialist roles within the Empire, whether as spies and assassins or bureaucrats and tech operators or torturers and executioners or any place else the Emperor saw fit to use their skills and powers. And to keep them in line, 25 % of children are randomly taken as hostages and stored in places that no one but him and the ones he entrusts with their charge knows. Only as teens are they ever seen again with their memories wiped of where they were, then a new child was taken in their place. Only as long as the race stays true to the Empire are the children allowed to live. Not many outside of the race and the Emperor know about the state of things though, for the race is still too proud, too scarred by it to tell outsiders about it willingly. So to everyone else, the Sci'Etsoions are a cold race, rigidly loyal in their service to the Empire.

Many of the people have resigned themselves to the state of things, but in others, a cold fire has been kindled to take down the Emperor and regain their former glory, but unless they find out where the children are taken, they are at a standstill. For nothing is more sacred to a Sci'Etsoion as the life of a child.

Raziel was one of those hostages, taken while so young that she doesn't even recall who her family was except in glimpses. She's tried to go back into her mind to find any trace of the memories, but cannot recall them. After she was returned, she tried to find them, but didn't have any true lead to go off on. She enrolled in the program set up to help hostages re-integrate into society, but had little success. It was then that she was recruited to train as a secret agent, someone that would serve the Empire in that role while also looking into where the children were being kept. And she agreed.

She trained, then was recruited into Imperial Service as a secret agent and was trained there. The infiltration of Earth was her first field assignment. She was meant to infiltrate the US government then work her way there into finding out information about global defenses and the Power Rangers in particular. She became a Defense Department secretary, stationed near Gray Vale with a defense contractor that she knew hired her purely for how he thought she looked. She was prepared to do what she must.

Then one day, a stranger came by and asked if she was alright. A random stranger, who had no reason to ask, had no true benefit for asking, was concerned for her well-being. She didn't respond and just walked on, but the conversation kept in her mind. She walked around to clear her head, and noticed for the first time just how beautiful Earth really was, the green of the fir trees and the snowy mountains overhead. How full of life the people were, both good and bad. She ended up curious about life around and began to research, stating in reports that she was learning how to blend better within Earth. But the more she learned, the more she fell in love with the place, and the more she didn't want to see the Empire tarnish it.

She found a means of communicating with a Ranger and discretely sent a packet through it warning of the incoming invasion and giving what info she could. At least, she thought she was discrete. But then the Blue Ranger came to talk with her and heard her story. The Ranger then gave her the communicator and offered a place among the Rangers, which Raziel accepted.

She'd looked forward with curiosity and trepidation to how it all would turn out, but then the Rangers disappeared. She now finds herself the new Blue Ranger, among others that have taken up the Ranger's colors, while the invasion is still imminent. She can only hope that she will prove herself worthy for the mantle and that she can help find where the other rangers have gone.

A new guild

"Not it."
- Flickerwing

@Forsythe

XD. Somehow, I doubt Flickerwing is big enough for any of us to ride. We don't exactly have any halflings in the party.

Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

Hm, can't seem to think of anything good or that I like in terms of a character idea.

Bleh.

Woulda relaly liked to join, but can't do that if I can't come up with a character to play as. :V

Oh well, I wish the rest of you good luck though, and hope you enjoy yourselves. :)

@Xaltwind

Hope you good luck too.

Though if you would still like to join, I could offer some ideas then you could see if they appeal to you?

A new guild

Though if we can't find horses, probably any mountable animal would do.

A Pegasus anyone?

What do you two think about this and you two okay with this?

@Theyra

I would certainly be okay with that.

Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

My mistake. With the profile change, I'm still getting use to that being you.

A new guild

Does indeed. Unless they want to take turns on Whimsey.

Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

@Xaltwind

Doesn't look like it. Mistress Dizzy is planning to create a restaurateur/baker and Carlyle is planning a second guy but we don't know who or what they will be. But any other position should be fair game. Only real stipulation is that Carlyle wants future entries to only be island-natives instead of outsiders, though you might have some wiggle room if they grew up in Starlight Cove, had to move away with their parents, then ended up coming back, but you'd have to ask the DM about that.

And yeah, that is an apt description of Jane. XD. I don't plan on having her be annoying about it though, so if I go too far, I'm open to pushback and being told to back up.

Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

No problem. Glad I was of assistance.
