Background

Zara does not speak of her past, but it is rumored that she received her flight training at the CorSec Academy. Her bearing, and the discipline with which she maintains her gear, lend some credence to the scuttlebutt. Her quick temper and attraction to dangerous risks may explain her severance, however, if she did in fact serve...

The truth is, she did attend the Academy. While excelling in the cockpit, she found the more academic requirements exceedingly tedious, and did not adjust well to a classroom environment. When she did get the chance to fly, her somewhat erratic piloting style also got her into trouble, despite her obvious talent. Ultimately, she was discharged for unsuitability.

While not exactly loquacious, Zara can be persuaded to speak of her family. Her mother is a climbing guide, and her father hand crafts custom harnesses and other webbing supplies, in the foothills of Kor Vella. It is a niche market, but the quality of their service and work has established and maintained enough of a clientele to keep food on the table.

Motivation

Adrenaline Junkie

Zara grew up climbing the mountains of her home in Kor Vella. When she'd summited all the peaks, the only way up was to fly! After somehow surviving countless harrowing descents in a homemade wingsuit, she was determined to learn how to fly, and become a true pilot.

Obligations

Dutybound 5
While officially discharged from the Corellian Security Force for unsuitability, her natural abilities (also deniability and expendability) and training have marked her as a potentially valuable asset. Zara knows she might be pressed into service at any time, should a particular mission require her talents..

Thrill Seeker 10
(+5 XP, +1000€)

Chooses jobs and races based upon the potential for.. excitement. When inactive, Zara is edgy, moody, easily distracted.

Illegal Racer/ Criminal 4

(Illegal racing/ high speed chase; scrapyard debacle).

Team Sylop: Racing Victory/Superiority
Zara’s duty time the team is top performance, winning, pure and simple.

Description

Dark hair, dark eyes, dark sense of humor.

5' 8", leanly athletic, climber's build.

Other Notes

No military or police force enjoys discharging promising individuals who have already undergone extensive and intensive training; but nor do they wish to throw good credits after bad.

Zara's temperament and spontaneity simply pushed her instructors and advisors too far, too often.

She has been contacted recently, and essentially recruited- made to understand that she still has a duty, and may be called upon. It seems someone at CorSec might still wish to make use of her.. TRT, INT, SID, SOD.. or perhaps it was a clandestine imperial agent who had contacted her under a false flag?

Of course she told the agent to frag-off, but she suspects it will not deter a future encounter.

Detective Ari Lavage is a CorSec officer who has attempted to recruit Zara for special operations, following her discharge from the Academy. Zara's response to being publicly chatted up by an operative resulted in a brawl, of course; but during a subsequent private encounter.. the two found they got along considerably better. Zara has not yet committed to assisting the security force in any capacity, but the detective has proven to be both persistent and persuasive.

Zara fell in with Sheeni soon after her arrival in the city, and the two immediately hit it off. It was a rush, but ultimately Zara decided she wanted more for herself than a life of petty crime (and probably a brutal end, or eventual incarceration). She quit while she was ahead, when she received her acceptance message from the academy. When Zara ran into her recently, she was frankly surprised her friend had not been killed or locked up. Turns out Sheeni had retired from armed robbery and joined The Pheromones... Sheeni is a punk rocker!
