Physical Description

Arcia Cortel is extremely militaristic, and it definitely shows. She wears her hair shoulder-length, and keeps it colored a dark brown accented by her naturally blonde bangs. Cybernetic optics keep her eyes aglow with a soft olive hue that seems to brighten when angered. Her facial features are sharp and attractive, but nothing more than what you would see from a professional business woman, and surely nothing to swoon over. Arcia typically cares little for the overuse of makeup that seems to be the fad these days, only using a faint application of dark eyeliner and warm shades painted across her full lips. Naturally blonde brows are penciled darker, soft and natural, sporting a slight arch with no additional forced styling.

When not wearing any of the aforementioned makeup for presentation, her eyes look tired and worn, showing the years of hardship in her life. Sharp cheekbones rest higher upon her face and her nose protrudes outward slightly less than an average Human female, starting from a low bridge and ending softly in a rounded point. Arcia’s skin is ivory in color, though sunlight doesn’t bother her in the slightest.

Attire:

Arcia’s attire seldom changes. She is typically seen wearing a slightly modified version of the “Dutiful” uniform customarily issued to the Loyalists of the Brotherhood. The only major difference is that her standard shoulder armor has been removed and replaced with padded leather shoulder guards colored to fit the overall scheme of the uniform itself. The kneepads were also removed, but replaced with nothing, allowing the dress slacks to be free of any constraint. Arcia also wears black leather gloves that cover her entire hand, up to just above her wrists under her sleeves. Upon her left hip, her custom slugthrower is holstered, while her assortment of combat knives are strewn about her uniform in tactical sheaths, both visible and not. Recently she has removed her Imperial ranking plaque, not wishing to be reminded of that portion of her past.

Remember Me For Centuries (General Aspect)

Arcia Cortel was born the completely unremarkable child of two powerful Force-users. Resented by her parents from her birth, she grew up determined to prove her worth and surpass all expectations when they and everyone else expected her to fail. Arcia Cortel would grow up to be remarkable. Throughout her life, Arcia always performed everything she did to the best that it could be done, and would show no quarter in reaching that peak. Her drive and excellence, continuously finding ways to rise when everyone expected her to fall, eventually won even the respect of the Dark Jedi she was raised with. She's carried this attitude into adulthood, and still invests her all in any given task or goal.

Wait...Just Wait (General Aspect)

Arcia Cortel is a very methodical woman, always planning her actions before carrying them out. The speed and complexity of her strategies, once formulated, frequently bewilder her crew and counterparts, causing them to praise her for the sheer intelligence she displays in the midst of most combat situations. Counter to this, Arcia has been known to wait too long, allowing opportunity to pass her by.

Won’t See Me Cry (Personality Aspect)

More or less abandoned by her parents and scorned by the other Force-users like them, Arcia Cortel has always had to be strong for herself, and strong to win any scrap of respect or affection. She is extremely dedicated to her goals and tasks, business-like and harsh, and has trouble with dropping the mask or interacting more casually, especially towards those with affinity to the Force. This can cause friction between herself and her subordinates of the Jedi archetype, but she will always stand her ground, never ever showing the vulnerability chiseled into her by a lack of proper parenting and the disdain she endured throughout her life.

You're As Cold As Ice (Personality Aspect)

Arcia's hardline, business-like attitude turns people off, especially how she runs a tight ship. Rules and regulations govern her everyday life due to her military upbringing, service as an Arconan Fleet Admiral and now as the Hoth JTF's commander. The frequent berating of her crew and ship’s guests to follow her orders to the letter led to the nickname “Ice Witch.” This manner of thinking allows Arcia to run her crew, as well as teams she leads, as a single entity, rather than groups of disorganized individuals. Her clan and subordinates see the shining spirit under her cold exterior, however. Anyone familiar with Arcia as a leader trust her implicitly, knowing that she will do everything she can to ensure her clan powers through whatever challenge the galaxy throws at them, however, while she has the trust and loyalty, she has a hard time relating to her crews off the clock.

I Have Something For That (Combat Aspect)

While Arcia Cortel can fight, and will defend her people if need be, she also trains her troops to be reliable and thus uses them to their fullest. According to her belief, any Commander ought to be able to fight and defend their ship - but they should not necessarily do so. It is a General's job to lead and coordinate troops, not to be doing their men's responsibilities on the front lines. Instead, Arcia trusts her people with their own responsibilities, knowing they'll get the job done. This belief, with her dedication to ship and crew, has garnered a sense of utter loyalty from them: for any action or order that she cannot accomplish herself, she has a crewman or component that will get the job done for her.

Well, If I Have To (Combat Aspect)

Arcia Cortel will always leave the fighting to those under her command and more suited for the task, but there will come times where she will be expected to hold her own. As a last resort, Arcia’s personal combat tactics come to play through primary use of her custom slugthrower pistol. When forced into a hand-to-hand situation, Arcia will do whatever she can to distract her opponent and give herself time to put distance between the two, including but not limited dirty fighting.
