OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intent: To flesh out a First Order NPC that has appeared in various threads.
Image Credit: hielo777
Role: Yves is a mercenary in the employ of Madelyn Lowe, operating out of the Hydian Bastion station in Sith Space.
Permissions: N/A
Links: Madelyn Lowe | The First Order | The Hydian Bastion | The Sith Empire
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
Age: Mid-Twenties
Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
Species: Human
Appearance: 5’9”, Mesomorph, heavily muscled. Yves is lean and strong, with a severe face and blonde, close-cropped hair. On the right side of her head, below the ear, is a large scarred mass of tissue around a metal port, used to link the brain to armour and other systems. Around her right bicep she sports a tattoo of a stylised fox. She is often seen clad in black armour, such as FO-SF Mk1 armour, typical gear for a former member of the First Order Security Bureau.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
Name: Octavia Yves
Loyalties: Principally Madelyn Lowe and the First Order personnel on the Hydian Bastion, a station in the First-Imperial vassal state on Prefsbelt, and secondly The Sith Empire as a whole.
Wealth: Modest wealth, well below what would be expected for someone in her profession. This is because Yves gives up the profits from freelance jobs and bounties to the Hydian Bastion’s treasury, receiving instead access to any and all available equipment, and a smaller stipend for personal expenses.
Notable Possessions: One scavenged pure Cortosis blade.
Skills:
SKILL | PROFICIENCY |
| Explosive weaponry | [ ███------- ] [2] |
| Field Medicine | [ █████----- ] [5] |
| Hand-to-hand combat (basic) | [ ██████---- ] [6] |
| Light and heavy blasters/slugthrowers | [ ██████████ ] [10] |
| Maser weaponry | [ ██████---- ] [6] |
| Piloting | [ ███------- ] [2] |
| Slicing | [ █████----- ] [5] |
| Swordsmanship | [ ██-------- ] [1] |
Personality: Yves is stern and largely asocial. Often regarded as humourless by her colleagues, she is goal-oriented and follows orders to the letter. As a stickler for organisation, Yves displays an excellent standard of hygiene and presentation at all times. Though she was once thought of by many as a zealous Imperial, the years following the Collapse have changed Yves’ outlook, and her loyalties now lie with Madelyn Lowe and the crew of the Hydian Bastion Station, instead of to a larger Galactic faction.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapon of Choice: Yves is trained in hand-to-hand combat, light and heavy blasters, and explosive weapons handling through her training in the Imperial Academy on Dosuun and with the Security Bureau. Her specialty, however, is in rifles. Yves is an excellent and disciplined shot, for more accurate and deadly than most others, even trained soldiers.
Combat Function: Yves is strongest when operating at a distance, and when provided with clear instructions. In situations in which she is engaging from a distance and with support, she is at her strongest. Alone and in an unfamiliar environment, however, Yves’ viability in combat is degraded. As a former FOSB Agent, Yves is a competent slicer capable of overriding security keys for civilian vehicles and backdooring simple networks.
Strengths:
- Trained soldier, ex-agent, trained in a broad range of combat skills
- Strong and physically intimidating
- Excellent shot
- Cool under pressure
Weaknesses:
- Non-Force User, and unaccustomed to fighting Force Users
- Difficulty operating alone or without external support
- Visual purple (rhodopsin) deficiency - cannot see well in low-light conditions
- Over-reliance on technology and specialised weapons in combat situations
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Prior to the collapse of the First Order in 856, Yves was a recent graduate of the Imperial Academy, transferred to the Security Bureau approximately a year before the first major Ssi Ruuk attacks. Following the collapse, Yves and the others aboard the Hydian Bastion carved out a small sanctuary in a deserted sector near the Ison Corridor. Headed by Madelyn Lowe, the crew of the Hydian lived on whatever meagre scraps they could scavenge, slowing bringing in more crew and supplies from the remains of the Order into the abandoned military station. After a few months, Yves was recruited to serve as one of Madelyn Lowe’s lieutenants, and helped in leading scavenging runs, fighting off pirates, and keeping the station functional and its inhabitants secure. Once the tentative alliance with The Sith Empire was established in late 849, Yves began taking contracts for the Sith under the direction of Lowe once the station was moved to the client state on Prefsbelt.

I've added the following passage to make that more clear, and I'll be updating the actual submission later:
