Well. I believe the title says enough about this post, so I'm not going to ramble about the details, there, I'll only say that I'm sorry I didn't get this done sooner on, but I was out of commission for some time. I will be including a character biography with this post.



Keedrax'aex


Homeworld
-Ryloth
Age
-Seventeen
Species
-Twi'lek
Native Language
-Ryl
Gender
-Female
Skin Colour
-"Mint" green
Height
-1.75m
Weight
-61.23kg
Hair Colour
-Blonde
Facial Hair
-None
Eye Colour
-"Aqua" blue
Scars
-None
Tattoos
-Left shoulderblade, blood-red Rebellion symbol. Intended as a joke, or extension of respect to those that opposed the Empire and were killed in the process. Either is equally likely, and she never definitively says which is true. Lekku are lightly shaded violet; Looking as if they had been airbrushed rather than patterned.


Physical Description


-Keedra is built slim, with well-toned core, leg, and arm muscles, and long, slender hands. She stands at a fairly average height, and carries herself in a proud, upright manner, which serves to give her person a confident, commanding appearance. In typical movement, she is slow and graceful, only hurrying if the situation absolutely calls for it.


Mental Profile


-In combat, she's a cool, level head, capable easily of rallying squadmates otherwise rendered combat ineffective. She is also capable of making quick tactical decisions at the drop of a pin, though these decisions, to experienced officers, may seem irrational and insane, though her brand of thought does seem to have an odd way of removing her from sticky situations. Out of combat, she is quiet, only really speaking if directly addressed. As a pilot specifically, she cares nothing for flight manuals, preferring to operate on instinct rather than book-learning, though she finds the latter useful in trying to figure out the control surfaces of TIE-model fighters. To the Empire, those she deems friends, and squadmates, she is fiercely loyal, and has not once in her life breathed a word of dissent. Missions, she takes with grave seriousness, be they simulated or real, and she views any starfighter into which she climbs as an extension of herself rather than piece of equipment, and dogfighting as a long, deadly dance.


Biography


-Keedra was born on Ryloth in city Kala'uun, in year 10 BBY, into a family of four; Being her mother, father, and 6-year-old brother. In year 4 BBY, they moved as a family to Mos Eisley, Tatooine, where her father found a job as a mechanic, and her mother stayed from work to raise the two; Though for the majority of the time, it was just herself and Keedra, as her now twelve-year-old brother would often aid their father in repairing and building of starships and vehicles. Keedra never saw work as a mechanic, though she did regularly visit her father's shop, and from an early age was taught the basics of flight panels from anything ranging from light, privateer starfighters to YT-series freighters. As much as she could, she studied starfighter maneuvering and the Twin Ion Engine design; As she had made up her mind, even at this early age to enlist with the Imperial Navy. 0 ABY, her brother at 16 had decided that he would be setting off to join the Rebellion, as things looked very well for Imperial defeat and end of its tyrannical rule over the Galaxy. She was not swayed from her decision to fly TIE-fighters for the Empire, and as a result of this, her very close friendship with her brother ended. Over a political view. Thus, she watched him leave, absent loving goodbye. For a great deal of time, she reclused herself, continuing study in private, gathering any material she could on the theoretical workings of Imperial combat ships. As such materials were secreted by the Empire, for good reason; Largely, her method of obtaining study came from the support of her parents, and her father's friends in the "Underworld". It would still be seven years that she could join the Navy, with her parent's consent. Seven years, spent preparing herself for her self-assigned task. At long last, the time came. Her father was even so gracious as to accompany her to the nearest recruiting office and provide there his written consent for her to enlist.



Bleh. I apologize if it's not up-to-par, but I kind of...Jotted the thoughts as they came, and pasted them in a post. I dunno. If necessary, tell me what needs to be altered, and I will alter.

Welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Crewman Keedra.

My name is Warrant Officer 2nd Class Wyl Trykon, and I'll be your Training Officer (TO) while you go through the Academy's Orientation program.  I'll be around to help get you acclimated to life in the Vast Empire (a process we call, "Basic Training"), the most important part of which is learning how to role-play as an Imperial character (a starfighter pilot or junior officer aboard a capital ship) in an ongoing, collaboratively-written story.  If you choose to serve as a pilot in the Starfighter Corps, these skills will be taught in a program we call, "Flight School," and if you choose to serve in Fleet Command as a junior bridge officer aboard a capital ship, you'll learn these skills in a program called, "Command School."

But with all that said, Training is fairly straightforward, and very quick.  Heck, with your first post here on the Naval Academy board, you've already completed Imperial Initiation, (well done) and are hereby clear to choose a training School, which will prepare you for daily life as a pilot in a VE squadron or on a ship.  Looking at your post, it seems you've chosen the Starfighter Corps and Flight School; just want to make sure you know your available options. 

Your next step should be to visit the VE Wiki page for Basic Training, found here, and read through the information provided.  Choose a School (Flight School if you want to pilot a starfighter, or Command School if you want to serve on the bridge of a capital ship), and begin working on Chapter 1: Character Development by clicking the appropriate link.  When you finish the assignment, post your work here (bio and ID line), so I can review it, and we'll proceed from there.  Please note: here in the VE, we write stories in the third person, past tense; you should too.

Your bio as written is actually fine.  Just need to see an ID Line and wiki page for your character, and you can move to the next step.  Great initiative in posting a bio without being prompted!

If you need further guidance, please send a Private Message with your questions to "Trykon" here on the ComNet, or go to the Naval Academy channel on IRC, which is #VENA, and make an inquiry of any staff member.  Good luck with your training, Crewman, and again, welcome to the Vast Empire.

Sincerely,

WO2 Wyl Trykon, your TO

Great post, Keedra; you're clear to move on to the final Chapter of Flight School.  Send a report to me and to Atrasin, and then go ahead and post a copy of it here in your training thread as well.
