- Age: 16
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
- Species: Trandoshan
- Appearance: Lonnie is a fully grown female Trandoshan with an impressive physique even by her species standards from a lifetime of exercise and balanced nutrition. However, there is some scarring on her arms from when a thermal detonation incinerated them. The scars don't show up too badly, and she has since gotten a tattoo on one of them to mask any remaining superficial damage after they grew back. Luckily, the damage she received to her unusually elongated snout seems to have healed well enough to avoid depreciable scaring damage.
- Name: Lonnishkelo Rro, but goes by "Lonnie"
- Loyalties: DireX Diviak Manfloon, of the Corporate Authorities of Denon
- Wealth: Comfortable
- Notable Possessions: CorpSec Captain's Badge, Riot Gear, Baton, etc.
- Skills: Marksmanship, Pugilistics, Close-Quarters Combat, Obeying Authority, Observation, Caring for Subordinates, Serving her Superiors, Lack-of-any-concern-about-her-own-easy-replaceability
- Languages: Understands basic but cannot speak it due to a mouth deformity. Understands Trandoshan and speaks with a lisp-equivalent affectation with some words. She can communicate with some Lorrdian kinetic communication after studying a few independent courses on it, along with a handful of other common useful sign languages.
- Personality: Lonnie, despite being an exemplary definition of peak physical Trandoshan (aside from internal deformities), unequivocally she carries a soft and endearing attitude to those in her social sphere. She is attentive, enthusiastic, and warm-hearted despite the cold-blooded stereotype of her species. Hug are her favorite things, even while her arms were still growing back. However, she has a definite mean streak with a hard delineation between friend and foe. Anyone in CorpSec is hers, and thus good, anyone outside of it better keep in line or she'll show them just how good they had it before they messed up. The only person to complicate that near black-and-white mentality is her former Captain, Kadora'Tra, who now stands in a position completely unique gray.
- Weapon of Choice: Riot Gear
- Combat Function: A substantial step up from your usual run-of-the-mill Denon CorpSec patrol, pursuit and physical confrontation are her specialities
- Force Abilities (Force Users Only): N/a
- Strong and Imposing: A Trandoshan is a naturally hardy specimen. She has grown into an exemplary example of her species with a competitive training regimen and controlled diet for the first decades of her life. Might, power, and grace all in one. Her regenerative abilities are also remarkable for her age. She was able to rebuild full muscle mass in her arms and partially reconstruct her face (with medical assistance) after suffering the edge of a thermal detonator's blast radius.
- Surprisingly Personable: As an alien in a world primarily populated and run by humans, Lonnie has struggled to connect with others since the moment she was found abandoned on Denon. So it comes as a surprise to most that she goes out of her way to listen and learn about her peers, subordinates, and superiors, acting on the information in a way that communicates for her. Even when she is separated from her aid, Kyle, to translate on her behalf, most CorpSec personnel that have worked with Lonnie have formed lasting bonds with the lizard woman due to her attentive and pro-active nature. Her charisma often transcends her language barrier.
- Speech Impediment: Possibly abandoned sometime after hatching for a mouth deformity that enables only hisses, growls, and chirps, Lonnie has long struggled to be heard. Not for lack of understanding, but she physically has never been able to form spoken language coherently. Even her Trandoshan, a language she should be well adapted to, has been remarked as unusual and challenging to understand to even fluent speakers. She is often followed by an interpreter, such as her Lieutenant Kyle, to speak on her behalf for those unfamiliar with her condition.
- Forgetful: While she can listen and remember obscure details about the people she has met or heard about when it comes to herself, Lonnie can be forgetful. Whether it be something to do with hygiene or a piece of equipment she was supposed to bring with her, she must be reminded of small things, usually by her Lieutenant Kyle.
Like many aliens on Denon, Lonnishkelo "Lonnie" Rro has found herself highly isolated in a primarily human society. What is worse, is she entered the world abandoned by her own kind. Her parents had traveled to Denon for opportunity. They either found it and left everything behind out of convenience, or they discovered little Lonnie's genetic defect and determined she was worthless to carry with them whether or not they had found what they were looking for. What happened to the Rro family afterward is unknown, as the only records that populated for CorpSec were their immigration intake, detailing the name of the tiny Trandoshan they had discovered. Presumed dead or off-world, CorpSec took Lonnie into custody and submitted her to an experimental CorpSec Program.
"The Disaffected Youth Liberation" Program professed itself as an opportunity organization for young orphans or troubled children with nowhere to go, to be rehabilitated into functioning members of society. Functionally, however, it was a clever means of recruiting peculiar alien children no one would miss if they died to craft them into killer CorpSec Officers with the means and ability above the normal officer pool. Among those members included
Kadora'Tra
, Lonnie,
Shot Sutaz
, and a meek seeming boy called Kyle. Kadora'Tra managed to ascend through Cadet Academy with incredible marks and land herself in the immediate employ of Diviak Manfloon's personal CorpSec detachment as his Captain, with Lonnie and Kyle serving as her Lieutenants. Shot Sutaz, however, suffered a debilitating accident during training and was discharged from the program despite her own promising marks. That incident was covered up from the other candidates as a flunked exam, however, and served to impress upon them to work harder and achieve more.For some time, Lonnie served Captain Kadora'Tra faithfully as her subordinate and developed an unusually close relationship with her. As childhood peers and as successful young women, they developed a strong bond that went beyond the usual CorpSec hierarchy. Though Lonnie was more open with her emotional expression, it seemed somewhat unrequited by Kadora'Tra, until the Sakedo Tower Hostage Crisis. After losing her arms and half her face to a thermal detonator, a whole new side to Kadora'Tra opened up to Lonnie. The Farghul Captain cared for her, visiting her in the burn ward, accepting hugs, even mourning the loss of her arms. Later on, Lonnie insisted on going to a party on Sakedo Tower with Kadora'Tra, who begrudgingly bent to her demands despite not being fully healed. They wore nice clothes and spent time together in ways that hadn't before the accident.
But then, a few months after Lonnie fully recovered from her injuries, Kadora'Tra went missing. While CAD was in a state of flux due to Darkwire's successful assassination of Qanatain Xopsaloff, Diviak Manfloon appointed Lonnie as his Acting Captain until Kadora'Tra's whereabouts could be determined, suspecting foul play from the increasingly bothersome criminal organization. Lonnie issued out an information Bounty and scoured the cityscapes for the one person she cared the most deeply about.
Unfortunately, what she discovered broke her heart.
A report on a barefooted protest in front of Sakedo Tower turned riot, where the former CorpSec Captain fought on the side of the rioters and was imprisoned in a high-security sensory deprivation chamber. Delivering the news shakily to Diviak Manfloon through her interpreter, the Trandoshan woman was instantly promoted to Captain and told to forget about her former superior. A task, that she would not find easy. Visiting one last time, Lonnie says goodbye to who she thought would be by her side for life, only to have to leave her behind like an animal about to be put down...
