Signature

Alani Myrtel is a 22 year old female from Coruscanti descent. Ever so curious, she left her safe abode on the planet Coruscant, where she lived with her parents, to explore the wider Galaxy beyond the Imperial sectors. Currently, she finds herself working for the military of One Nation Under Jou, after having been impressed by their sense of selflessness.

Description

Alani is a relatively short Coruscanti woman. She is usually found wearing either a comfortable tank top-and-jeans or brandishing a more professional dress or suit. Her natural hair color is brown, but she has taken a liking to dying her hair, usually in a dark color.

From young age, Alani never really did interact much with non-humans. Living on the upper layers of Coruscant and being influenced by her father and the general Imperial society of upper Coruscant, left her to develop a natural wariness against aliens. As time went on, after her departure from the city-planet, she slowly eased into the idea of working together with the other races and organizations, but a general preference to work with humans over aliens stayed. During her travels, she started believing the Imperial influence of her father was not necessarily the best course of action. She gradually formed her own, more neutral standpoint and opened up to the views of other organizational or political bodies. This noteworthy change in her views let her to view the galaxy, and most notably the Empire's enemies like the Jedi Order, in a more passive manner. She realized that the Imperial propaganda against the Jedi was mostly just that, propaganda. Her now more neutral standpoint made way for the possibility of future cooperation.

Generally, you can view Alani as someone who values order and justice. However, that does not take away her natural curiosity. She did try to maintain a clear separation between her work and private time. Her private, sometimes drinks-induced, escapades and frivolous interactions with both genders were to stay private as much as possible.

It was partly because of this that it took her a while to find a partner, as she was not actively searching for one, believing that "it would happen naturally". This mentality did get shaken as she met Nari Noble. Something about her fragile but playful and determining personality hit Alani, and as they started talking, something cliqued between the two. One spicy seafood pasta and cheesecake-infused date on Year 22 Day 149 later, Alani asked the daring question that led to them having a relationship. They had a wonderful relationship together, but unfortunately they turned out to not be on the same wavelength. After having talked it through thoroughly, they decided on Day 319 it would be best for them to continue on as close friends. The duo would still communicate on a regular basis, and have each other's back when needed, and their time together was certainly not wasted. They were glad to have closed their story on a high and warming note.

Biography

Upbringing

A New Soul

Only two weeks after the official Imperial declaration of war on the Rebel Alliance, on Year 0 Day 14, Alani was born in a Coruscanti hospital to Amy and James Myrtel. Despite the expertise of the Imperial medics that were, at the time, stationed at the hospital, a complication occurred because of Amy's medical history. The mother suffered from an early stage of brittle bones and during the birth of Alani, she fractured one side of her pelvis. A C-section was suggested but was ultimately denied. This left Amy with lingering stability issues. Alani herself was declared healthy after a thorough inspection.

The Years Ahead

Alani and her family had the luxury of being decently-off, living in a family apartment on one of Coruscant's upper layers. Free from most petty crime of the lowest layers, the Coruscanti was able to enjoy the comforts of a well-educated childhood. In the following years, she followed a minor management course, with her free time being spent taking care of her mother. Over the course of those years however, those duties slowly began to fall on droids, with Alani being more interested in going out enjoying the nightly life of the mega-capital when she reached adulthood. It was at this time that she learned she was attracted to both genders. Unable to stay attached to to a person for too long, she decided to not commit to a relationship until she had found the one. Her taste was specific, perhaps too specific.

The Father that Looked

James, Alani's father, was an honest believer of the Imperial morals. Being an ex-trooper, he had his fair share of combat experience. At the time of Alani's childhood, he was employed by a private security corps outside the system. Due to this, he was away from home more than he was not. When his job did allow him to take a few days off, James spent his time at home, enjoying the company of his family. It did not take long for Alani to get interested in James' job. Whenever he sat down and talked about his duties, she sat there next to him, glittering, listening carefully. Alani developed an interest in the security work and some of the Imperial stances started growing inside.

Sprouting Views

The girl formed her views from both her father and mother, her father's Imperial upbringing and her mother's kindness. Both traits made for a mix that was Alani's. While living on Coruscant, she did not interact with many 'aliens', most of the places she went to were populated mostly by humans. This noninteraction, along with the general segregation that many may think of when thinking about an Imperial society, made her naturally wary of those not like her. While not wholly denying to do business with non-humans, she would think twice when dealing with those who bore little resemblance to the people she grew up with.

New Experiences

Departure from Coruscant

(needs rewriting to conform to holocron standards)

The logical route after having been trained in blaster combat, would be to join the Imperial Army. Much to James' disappointment, Alani did not yet choose to do such a thing. She felt that it would be better to travel the galaxy, and get some real life experience first. The Empire would still be at the back of her mind though. It took quite some time to convince him, but James finally saw the pros in this decision. After all, as Alani liked to put it,

"The more experience I gain, the better chance I'll have at enlisting in the Army."

And so she left a few months into Year 22, after having said her goodbyes. Originally, she was meant to go to the Venaari system to rendezvous with a potential employer at Lone Star Industries, but after some internal struggles, she decided to set course for the Avindia system instead. While an employment at LSI could have been a gateway to a high ranking position within the company, the involvement of the company with the former crime lord duo, and with its former shell, Exelis Runners, would make for less-than-ideal circumstances for Alani to join.

Glacial Distress

(needs rewriting to conform to holocron standards)

~Year 22 Day 100

On her way to Polus, Alani caught wind of a distress signal coming from an unknown YV-variant freighter. With no known Imperial military presence in the system, all she could do was either ignore the cry for help, or try to help in a way. Either way, she needed to go to Polus as well, and she too could be a victim of the same bandits if nothing was done about them. After an indecisive minute, she altered her course and went for the designated coordinates. She did have a mercenary with her, but if things became too hot, she could always try and fly to the nearby capital.

Going down to the coordinates mentioned by the distress signal, it became increasingly clear that the YG-variant was indeed assaulted by another party, made apparent by the smoke coming from the vessel. Next to it stood a VCX light freighter, but there was no sign as of yet of any ground movement. With the landing gear down, Alani's 578-R Space Transport touched down on the snow-covered glacial ice. After having opened one of the boarding ramps, Alani carefully looked outside towards the VCX and YG. It did not take long for the bandits to open fire, forcing her to reenter the ship. It only went down south from there. She ordered Terek, the mercenary, to hold the ramp while she was about to overlook the situation from the dorsal latch on top of the ship.

Going up the ladder, she opened the latch and carefully looked out of the ship, she had a clear aim at one of the about five bandits and opened fire. Hitting one of them by surprise, Alani went back down the ladder, leaving the hatch open. Blaster fire ricocheted off the hull. She waited until the barrage of plasma concentrated on the lower entrance again before peeking out, only to be met with the view of a bandit aiming a rocket launcher at the side of the ship. Darting down, Alani clamped herself onto the ladder. All she could do was shout “IMPACT!” and hope Terek would have noticed as well. A second passes and the duo is met with the ear-deafening sound of a rocket hitting the ship.

As the loud ringing in her ears subsided, it was made apparent that the bandits were now focused on something else. The scene was disturbed by the sound of a large spaceship approaching and leaving. A fight emerged with the third party, and it was made clear that all ships were to stay put, as the large ship kept circling the area. The fight outside was over as quickly as it started, with the Space Transport being hailed by the circling ship. ”This is Commander Lindemann of Defender-class Crusader. Identify yourself.”

This event established Alani's thoughts on Morobe's governing body, and paved the way to her joining them shortly after. If it was not for the One Nation military, she would have been stranded on Polus for months, or worse, dead.
