Physical Description

Alethia doesn’t much look the part of a ruthless enforcer of government authority. Perhaps a bit too tall to be called dainty, she is nevertheless slender and fine-boned. Her movements are graceful and deliberate, owing to a youth spent in dance classes and finishing schools. Out of uniform, she’s anything but intimidating - but at work her icy demeanor and carefully cultivated aura of omniscience and control are enough to chill the blood of her close friends, to say nothing of her enemies.

Alethia has a generally cool complexion, with fair, even-toned skin. She has been dyeing her hair a silver color since her teens, although she has been known to freely change the color while under cover. Alethia keeps her hair about shoulder-length and usually wears it pulled back.

Alethia has preferred to wear her uniform only in military settings. Instead, flowing gowns, billowing sleeves, and even cloaks serve both as decoration and distraction. Alethia spends a considerable portion of her pay having her outfits tailored to her exact specification. These modifications usually have more to do with form than function: tear away seams, concealed pockets, collar- or cuff-mounted comlinks, and in one case even a plastoid armor corset. At the very least, Archenksova will be concealing a vibroblade and a dart launcher somewhere on her person. She favors cool shades of blue, purple, and green; soft, light fabrics; and cuts that hint at or accentuate her figure rather than blatantly displaying it.

It's very rare to see Alethia without her hair and makeup in perfect order, and many wonder why a such a practical woman devotes such time and expense to cosmetics.

A standard weapon load-out:

Alethia

It's Treason, Then (General Aspect)

Alethia dedicated herself to the destruction of spies and traitors from an early age and has found a natural enemy in the Inquisitorius. Since joining Odan-Urr, however, Alethia has found herself woefully unprepared to face the Force-wielding Sith who seek to kill her and all she holds dear. Since the fall of New Tython, the former Imperial has been zealously working to understand and counter Sith capabilities. In addition to rethinking her approaches to personal combat and counter-intelligence, Alethia is obsessively hunting for any weapon to use against the Dark Jedi. She will purge Pravus’ chaotic and destructive taint from the galaxy or die trying.

A Safe and Secure Society (General Aspect)

Alethia spent her entire adult life, before joining Odan-Urr, fighting for the New Order and, although the Empire itself may have failed her, she still hold to its ideals. She appreciates order and devotion to duty, believes the government and military have a central role in civilized society, and suspects that ‘democracy’ is just a euphemism for anarchy. Her belief that this is the only path to a peaceful life for the average citizen is so overwhelming that she has difficulty even grasping the concept that others disagree. Alethia expects unwavering loyalty, to Odan-Urr if not to her personally. Those who disappoint her find the consequences most unpleasant. This puts her at odds with many of her Clanmates, who view her idea of ‘a safe and secure society’ as a totalitarian dystopia, and worry about the extreme lengths she’ll resort to in order to build it.

It Gives You Focus, Makes You Stronger (Personality Aspect)

For months after the Odanites pulled her from an abandoned ISB sleeper ship, Alethia floundered without the strong sense of purpose that had defined her life in service to the Empire. The exodus from New Tython changed that. She lost her mother’s homeworld to Tarkin’s hubris, and all of her remaining friends and family to the ravages of time while she wasted away in stasis. She willingly sacrificed everything she had, believing that she was doing her part to build a better tomorrow. She was wrong, and now Pravus and the Dark Council are trying to take what’s left to sate their own incomprehensible bloodlust. Alethia will not stand for it, and she has become an unapologetic, uncompromising fanatic. Her life is war now, and she sees everything and everyone only by how they fit into the struggle between the Brotherhood and Odan-Urr.

There Is No Civility, Only Politics (Personality Aspect)

A naturally gregarious woman who was raised for life as a socialite, Alethia has an almost instinctive understanding of etiquette and can be exceptionally charming if she’s in the fight frame of mind. However, years of deceit and paranoia prevent her from lowering her guard enough to truly connect to people. Alethia has many superficial friends, but hardly any that she really trusts. Moreover, this charm vanishes when she’s ‘at work,’ and for every barfly or dance partner who’ll tell you how sweet she is, there are two SeNet operatives who will grow pale at the mere mention of ‘Major Archenksova.’

Do Not Hesitate, Show No Mercy (Combat Aspect)

Many Jedi and their allies seek to preserve life even when their own is under threat. They use their abilities only for defense, never attack. Alethia is not one of them. Like Tarkin, she believes that winning this battle isn’t enough; the only way to protect yourself is to win every battle by taking away your enemy’s will to ever oppose you again. She doesn’t care about elegance, technique, or fairness in combat. Her only concern is finding a way to crush any resistance as efficiently as possible. Consequently, she fixates on destroying her enemy and is loath to withdraw and negotiate a peaceful settlement, even if it would be more beneficial to her or her allies.

Only Now, At The End, Do You Understand (Combat Aspect)

Of course, killing someone efficiently doesn’t always mean killing them quickly. Alethia’s not the galaxy’s strongest warrior, she can’t feel the Force or wield a lightsaber, and the nature of her work means she’s often out-numbered and out-gunned. To compensate for all this, Alethia relies on a number of unusual weapons, poison, the environment, and her formidable intellect and athleticism to maneuver her enemy into a situation where death is inescapable. This emphasis on unladylike warfare leaves her uncomfortable with a simple, face-to-face fight.
