- Name: Lt. Colonel Adorn "Addie" Telaskta
- Loyalties: the SJDF carrier "Ethereal"
- Wealth: She has her pension, she has her late father "General Adlin Telaskta"' s pension.
- Notable Possessions: She's been a jarhead all of her life. Nothing really out there other than her hoverbike.
- Skills: She loves to dance when not on duty, other than that, she is combat-oriented .
- Personality: She is the stereotypical "grizzled veteran" angry and blunt, she does not mince words. While she does not tend to fraternize with those under her command, they know full well that someone targeting them might as well be targeting her (i.e.- she has their back).
- Weapon of Choice: Anything in front of her.
- Combat Function: Adorn is a career jarhead, and a military legacy, she can pick up a weapon, or lead a charge on top of a tank. Whatever it takes to get as many of her people out alive as possible.
- STRONG LEADER: She does not sit behind a desk, she sits in the commander's seat of a tank, or a fighting vehicle, or stands in front of the charge. It's in Addie's blood to do this, she will share her command's dangers.
- AS MEAN AS A CONSTIPATED TERANTATEK: Not only will she lead the charge, the woman can fight. This may be from her daddy issues, this may be from her ex-husband, her ex-wife, it doesn't matter at this point.
- DADDY: She will always love her father, just like any daughter should. However, a part of what motivates her is the fact that no matter what she does, Addie will never feel like she will get out of his shadow.
- ONE OF THE GUYS: In her desire to be taken seriously as an officer, she is losing what makes her "her" she can either want a personal life or her career. It sucks, but it is what it is.
Adorn Telaskta joined the Marines the day she turned of age and was immediately accepted. After all, her father was commanding officer of one of the most infamous legions of Marines in the SJO. Working her way up the ranks, she decided that she was not going to let her name give her any advantages when she applied for officer school. The legacy took every post, every position with a high level of skill and determination. She was not going to simply be "the other Telaskta" and turned down nothing.
Even the most career-minded officers make mistakes as she married her secondary school sweetheart. Things were wonderful, but she wanted a career, and he wanted a wife. A tearful separation led her to an assignment after assignment simply to stay away from people. She didn't want to be around civilians and never took leave time, that was how she met the woman who would be her wife and soon-to-be ex-wife. There was no getting around it, Addie had a career, but not a life. So she dedicated her life to her command. Each one gave her more and more skills on not only how to lead but to keep up morale, and be an inspiration.
