Character name: Kaliyan Ette

One-paragraph (100 words) summary of your character.
Kaliyan was once a Kel lieutenant, who followed her superior officer into heresy. Unluckily, she survived both her beloved commander and their very short-burned rebellion against Kel Command.
Kaliyan is most comfortable being someone else's weapon, and she's happy to leave philosophical dilemmas to trusted authority figures. She may or may not just be waiting for a good opportunity to set herself ablaze.

===

How did your character first learn of the hexarchate?
She was born into the hexarchate and was serving as a Kel lieutenant at the time Command decided to use formation instinct.

Why did your character join this rebellion?
Kaliyan was once part of a small resistance swarm that opposed formation instinct. They were promptly reduced to ashes. It was terrible bad luck that Kaliyan did not burn with the rest, as she was busy escorting a “potential ally” on her commander's order. The stranger turned out to be a time traveling rebel with a brand new cause for Kaliyan to die for.

What would make your character consider giving up the cause?
Kaliyan needs people to fight for. If anything were to happen to her companions, or if they themselves were to abandon the cause, she might not have the strength to carry on. Though truthfully, she'll likely have launched herself in the middle of gunfire before that ever happens.

Name something your character does not want to lose.
For all her enthusiastic blind loyalty, she's quite attached to her free will. That her entire swarm chose to die rather than giving it up might have something to do with that. She wouldn't know.

Name something your character would die for.
Kaliyan already survived a perfectly timely death once, she won't miss next time.

Name something your character would kill for.
She sees her companions as fellow soldiers, and would kill to protect any one of them.

Who is your character's best friend?
Her late commander, Kel Thais, had most of Kaliyan's admiration and affection. Though Kaliyan never acted on her feelings for Thais, the two did share a deep friendship.

Describe your character's perfect partner (romantic or friend or coworker, your choice).
Kaliyan has a history of catching feelings for superior officers, which she's quite self conscious about. She tends to be attracted to decisive and authoritative older women.

What is your character's secret dream or desire, the one they've never told anyone?
She might need to form genuine connections to other people instead of the blind devotion she currently has going on. Though this would be a secret from herself as well. Clearly she's doing fine.

How will your character die?
Hopefully, sacrificing herself to fulfill a mission or to save someone she cares about.

Does your character have any powers that the hexarchate would consider "exotic" (magical)?
She doesn't.

What do you (the player) enjoy most in an RPG?
Making overly complicated plans and really bad jokes.

You have 500 words to tell me anything else you want me and the other players to know about your character. Do it here.

Kaliyan has kept herself in working conditions by sheer force of denial. She's pretty much blocked her past failed rebellion from her thoughts, and she's doing a great job at ignoring the deep void slowly devouring what's left of her heart. While she tries to keep her dramatic emotional outbursts to a minimum, she might still creep out anyone not completely comfortable with an overly enthusiastic hawk ready to die for them two minutes after their first meeting.

Kaliyan is a tall, broad woman, with copper-brown skin and dark hair she keeps very short. She's friendly, quick to smile and surprisingly cool-headed for someone waiting for the perfect opportunity to set themselves on fire.

NOTES : I'm sorry for making such a stereotypical Kel, but the longer I kept writing, the worst it got. Also, I'm finishing this kind of late so I really hope it makes sense.
