Never Easy Getting Started
Starting Off
Emilio Varga was born to a Hapan mother and an Imperial father in the Chuculyk Flats on the planet of Selab in the Hapes Cluster. While many children were born into a life of luck and enjoyment, Emilio was quickly diagnosed with a strain of the Toli-X virus, a virus that attacked his blood cells, causing immeasurable pain and suffering, threatening his life. Spending his formative years in and out of hospital on a regiment of stimulants and medications, Emilio was regularly in the company of his mother Elaan, while his father was rarely around, serving with the eighth group of the third Imperial fleet around Corellia. While his father was a steadfast Imperial, striving to rid the galaxy of the rebellious militias within the galaxy, his mother followed a more sophisticated lifestyle, forming a strong allegiance to the Tini'duranist ideology. Due to his illness, Emilio was educated from the various hospital bed he frequented, before retiring to the family estate in the mountains of Selab where his education continued by hired professionals and friends of his mother. While being tutored in Hapan history and culture, his father would regularly return to impart his own knowledge of the Imperial cause, ensuring Emilio was regularly conflicted on which lifestyle he would eventually lead. On his tenth birthday he was still undecided despite years of knowledge being thrust upon him. As the family gathered to celebrate his birthday, Emilio was still linked intravenously to his medication, unable to enjoy the regular lifestyle of a child.
Seeking more opinions from medical professionals, Elaan eventually caved to the requests of her son and allowed Emilio to participate in a medical treatment that had been arranged through his father Drallo. A modified stimulant injected into the neck provided a temporary release from the pain and suffering for several days, allowing the growing eleven year-old to finally begin a lifestyle of his own. Transferring to the Hapan home world, Emilio was enrolled in the prestigious Robin Hood School of Culture and Social Education.
With a lack of knowledge in social behaviour and anything other than learning, Emilio invested his time into his classes, disregarding the others around him as many failed to show and interest in him. Involving himself in more political and historical classes, he strived to enrich his personality as one of knowledge, someone who could amaze anyone with his perfect vocabulary and knowledge of history, even if he failed to have the social component in his life. While studying privately, he witnessed another who showed a similar passion. While he remained distant and private, she eventually made contact, and introduced herself as Persephone Krelano. Her more vibrant nature was something not familiar to Emilio, however he still found himself sharing his own stories with her, developing a friendship with another. Through their conversations and encounters within the school, Emilio quickly grasped the art of being social, using knowledge to appear suave and sophisticated, while embracing conversation and understanding with other people. Emilio remained close with Persephone during the classes they had together, creating a very close, inseparable friendship that saw them both achieve strong academic achievements.
As the school year concluded and they went their separate ways, Emilio persuaded his mother that allow him the use of a personal communicator to remain in contact with his friend during their time apart. Given her previous fears of solitude and exclusion, Elaan did not hesitate in bowing to her son's request, purchasing the highest quality communicator for him to use. Despite their distance apart and the continuing revolution of the galaxy, Emilio spoke with Persephone several times each time, sharing every detail however slight with her. Several days after his twelfth birthday, Emilio welcomed home with father from deployment with the Imperial fleet. While the talked about everything that had transpired since their separation, Drallo was evidently concerned and displeased. Leaving Emilio to his own activities, Drallo met with his wife and quickly the conversation erupted into an argument. As violence ensued and Elaan began crying, Drallo returned, taking Emilio to his Imperial assigned Sentinel-class Landing Craft and departing the planet of Selab. Frightened and incapable of expressing his opinions of what had transpired in fear of punishment, Emilio hid the personal communicator within his clothes as he sat quietly in the ship, weeping softly from the anxiety. As he injected himself with his Toli-X sedative, he gently fell asleep in the passenger hold, slumping in his chair as she began to dream. Awakening in a facility, his father welcomed him, explaining the he would no longer be educated at the Robin Hood School of Culture and Social Education, and yet he would now undertaking the gruelling teachings of the Imperial Academy outpost on Thebeon II in Achillea City.
Different Ideologies
Away from the cultures of the Hapan lifestyle and unintentionally thrust into the more gruelling Imperial mantra, Emilio was forced to cast aside the book smarts and knowledge he had grown accustomed to and instead grow to love the constant beatings and physical exhaustion that came with the teachings of his father. While suave and full of knowledge, Emilio had not hurt a soul or fired a blaster in his thirteen years of existence. Yet only mere days into the program he was being engaged by countless T-Series Tactical Droids and other more eager students. His only advantage was that his father was stationed on the facility to allow him to ask for wisdom and knowledge. As Drallo had transferred from the third Imperial fleet in order to be closer to his son, he was in a position to mould his son into the Imperial he hoped he would become. The vision was not one of a naval officer, but a member of the Imperial Royal Guard, a protector of the Emperor with unquestionable devotion to the cause, willing to die for another. After several weeks of basic training, Emilio was placed under the tutelage of his father who began to teach him about the art of stealth and assassination. For months Emilio was undertaking exercises on how to remain silent and invisible, placed into the hardest exercises with intense punishment if he failed. The undertaking was gruelling, and was slowly changing his personality for one of innocence into one of a calculating killer.
The sole ray of light that stopped him from loosing all grip on reality was the simple personal communication device he had manage to smuggle all through the academy's screenings, allowing him to remain in contact with both his mother and Persephone who was still studying at the Robin Hood School of Culture and Social Education. While conversations with his mother were often brief and not undertaken consistently, conversations with Persephone were regular, often after an exhaustive or painful day. Through their conversations, she was able to keep Emilio sane and somewhat regular. Passing on news from the rest of the galaxy along with her words of friendship and encouragement, Emilio realised the despite everything he was going through, there was still some enjoyment in his life. Graduating from childhood to adulthood, Emilio was granted access to the second stage of his tutelage. Having mastered the art of stealth and physical combat, he was now to be taught the skills of weaponry. While he enjoyed the elegance of vibroblades and swords and the personal nature of a blaster, Emilio quickly developed a preference for ranged weaponry, particularly the Imperial sniper rifle codenamed Nightstinger. As his training developed, Emilio was soon taken on assignment with his father to complete his accreditations. The most brutal was called The Transition, a covert Imperial exercise that released a small selection of prisoners into the forests of the nearby planet of Cortina IV. While the prisoners assumed their release had been granted, their escape was merely an exercise for training snipers to practice on living, moving targets. While barbaric and against his conscience, Emilio was given little choice by his father who explained that failure to complete his accreditations would result in death by the Imperial Security Bureau. As the escapees fled through the forests, Emilio calmly gathered each of them in his sights, squeezing the trigger of his Nightstinger and dispatching a blaster bolt into the skull of each. As he took a breath and began to disassemble his rifle, Emilo turned and looked at an evidently proud father. Receiving a pat on the back, Emilio smiled before commencing his return to the academy facilities back on Thebeon II.
Upon their return to the facility, Emilio and Drallo were greeting by Imperial Security Bureau agents who arrested his father. Under the charges of conspiracy and desertion, Drallo faced execution if proven guilty. While only at the mere age of twenty, Emilio was forced to investigate the crimes without the aide of an instructor. Out of his depth and worried for his father's well-being, Emilio quickly contacted Persephone for advice on how he could clear his father's name. While her advice was brief, it was able to point him in the right direction. The charges were stemming from reports passed through a number of anonymous sources within the Imperial outpost. Using the few connections and skills he had managed to grow within his time at the facility, Emilio soon reverse engineered the messages and discovered the terminal of origin, one belonging to a Planetary Superintendent stationed on Thebeon II known as Arthur Weerum. Following Weerum's path for several days revealed a number of dealing with spies within the Rebel Alliance movement, looking to remove a promising officer from the ranks of the Galactic Empire.
Passing on his findings to the Academy Provost, Emilio had successfully proven his father's innocence, allowing him to be released and reinstated within the Academy. Proud of his son, Drallo walked with his son out of the court proceedings with a wide smile on his face. As they reached the outside of the hearing room, a blaster shot emanated throughout the room, striking Drallo in the chest, just below his various ribbons and awards. As his father fell to the ground, Emilio grasped his hand and witnessed his father's last breaths as he began to weep for his coming loss.
Practical Experience
As his father whispered several incomprehensible words before he gave into the calling and bowed to the whim of his fatal wound, Emilio released the grip on his father's hand and with a tear streaming down his cheek he reached over and closed his Drallo's eyes for the last time. While Imperial agents swarmed to gather evidence and track the fleeing government officer, Emilio calmly stood and walked to the armoury, collecting a vibroblade and his Nightstinger, before walking out of the building and heading for the planet's glaciers, the most logical place to hide while arranging transport off world. Despite the cold, Emilio was relaxed, tracking the footprints of his father's killer. As he reached the precipice of a glacier, he spotted the fleeing agent taking cover in a small alcove. Perching his rifle, he took a deep breath and squeezed his trigger once more, casting off two blaster shots in quick succession that perforated Weerum's kneecaps, shattering them with immediacy, forcing the helpless official to scream in immeasurable pain as he feel to the ground. Collecting his rifle, Emilio surveyed the surroundings for other agents, to whom none were present. Slowing walking toward his helpless victim, he placed the rifle on the ground and unsheathed the vibroblade from its holster on his back. As he exchanged anger and frustration with the bleeding Weerum, Emilio held the blade to his throat, asking why he should spare he should be spared. As Weerum failed to express any valid reasoning, Emilio mercilessly forced the blade into the officials throat. As Weerum began to expel blood from his throat and mouth, Emilio twisted the blade, before moving the blade through his neck. With each motion Emilio managed to extract immeasurable pain while keeping Weerum alive, a byproduct of his training, before swiftly expelling the bloodied blade, forcing Weerum's skull to separate from his body and fall to the ground.
Thrusting the bloodied vibroblade into the glacier, Emilio took a deep breath before kicking some ice over the bloodied corpse of his victim. Leaving the blade in the ice, he walked back and collected his rifle before retuning to the Academy. As he returned, he immediately contact his mother and relayed the news. While she explained that their separation was due to a divorce, not Drallo's deployment, Elaan was still evidently distraught by the news. While she was inconsolable, Emilio was calm and quiet. As one communication concluded, another with commenced with Persephone, where Emilio shared everything about what had occurred, to which Persephone became distant and worried. She had only known Emilio as a quiet, enjoyable bookworm, not as a merciless executioner and became frightened at what he had become. Withdrawn, Persephone told Emilio to keep her distance while she thought about their friendship. Frustrated by what it had done to their friendship, Emilio returned his Nightstinger to the armoury before retiring to his private quarters, where he began beating his footlocker senseless from his anger. As he caught his breath and calmed down, he visited the medical facility for a routine analysis. While various FX-7 medical droid analysed his extremities, a number of doctors began explaining what would happen with his father's burial. As the discussions ended, the doctors also managed to draw a conclusion about Emilio's condition. Increased blood flow and adrenaline to his brain actively slowed the progression of Toli-X. While stimulants would do the same, natural creation of the endorphins would prolong the effects, resulting in less injections. While somewhat alarmed that such brutality would actually help him feel better, Emilio checked himself out of the facility to sleep and try to forget about the death of his father on his birthday the following day.
Return to the Familiar
One to Another
As twenty-second birthday passed and his father laid to rest, Emilio sold his father's Sentinel-class Landing Craft and purchased an HCT-2001 Dragonboat-Class Freighter from an Imperial merchant. Leaving Thebeon II and returning to the family estate on Selab, Emilio was happy to see his mother. Much had changed around the home since he had been taken away to the Academy, however Elaan had kept Emilio's belongings as they were when he left. Begrudgingly keeping his distance from Persephone, Emilio spent some time with his mother, hiding his abilities and returning to a life of sophistication, watching his mother act to gather the art of diplomacy. No more bruises or blood, his armour replaced with a fine suit, he began to develop a more suave exterior while maintaining his skills his defence and assassination. As month after month passed without contact with Persephone, Emilio continued to struggle, wondering if perhaps enough time had passed for him to finally go and see his best friend once more. Accessing the alumni database of the Robin Hood School of Culture and Social Education, Emilio was able to discover Persephone's location, to where he quickly travelled. Dressed in his finest Hapan suit, he quietly knocked on the door, eager to see his friend. As the door slid open, Emilio witnessed the once young friend he had known had matured into a gorgeous woman.
At a loss for words he stood silent for a moment before offering salutations to the surprised Persephone. While he feared that she would simply ask him to leave, she extended a warm hug and invited him inside her home. For hours they spoke, hours more the following day as they shared their stories, Emilio in particular. Given their last conversation he wanted to make clear that he meant no harm to their friendship and would do anything necessary to keep her close. While he saw his lifelong friend, he couldn't shake the attraction he now also felt toward her. Her hair was perfect and she had matured into a woman of sophistication and knowledge, while her personality remained as vibrant as ever. Spending several days together could feel a mutual attraction, but was nervous to broach the subject in fear it would compromise their friendship. Despite the cost, his suave exterior could not contain his feelings and he asked Persephone if their friendship should become more. As a smile graced her face, she simply leant over and kissed Emilio softly, acknowledging his question and wondering what took him so long to do so.
Happy at the place his relationship was with Persephone, he felt that perhaps they should consider moving on with their lives together, away from the Hapes Cluster. Eager to undertake the next stage in her life, Persephone boarded the HCT-2001 Dragonboat-Class Freighter now christened Krelano and travelled with Emilio to the more dangerous planet of Ansion, under the control of the local mercenary guilds. As they were both now in their mid twenties, they we happy to have each other. Grown from the tender ages to a more mature state, their lives were intertwined in a home of their own. Emilio tried to inject himself into the local community by putting his ear to the ground, immersing himself in trade deals and conglomerates while Persephone invested in local business while establishing their home. After a number of weeks activity was slow, and Emilio gently began to explain the idea of contract executions to Persephone. While she was frightened by what Emilio had become after the loss of his father, he explained that the targets would only be though of the criminal underbelly and he would dispatch of them quickly, showing them respect to the end. While she didn't complete agree with the methods, she came to the understanding that credits were growing thin, and that Emilio's specialist skills could give them a comfortable lifestyle while making the planet safer.
Purchasing some small weaponry along with an X-45 Sniper Rifle, Emilio covertly made contact with several law enforcement and criminal organisations alike to put his knowledge to use. Undertaking a number of contracts, he silently and swiftly executed them one after another, his signature blaster bolt to the back of the skull ensured no pain to the recipient upon death, while limited collateral damage which in turn increased his income. Due to his very high security measures, no organisation or individual knew of his identity when undertaking the assignments, allowing him to remain clear of all threats while on Ansion.
