PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Suhara Villow could almost be mistaken for a child in a fancy military costume, though she is anything but. Anyone approaching her would instantly gain the impression of a nipping shark, small but fierce.
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Unlike her more cynical revolutionary comrades, Suhara Villow retains hope that the uprising that she has sparked will succeed and that democracy will return to the hands of the people. Where rebellions against the Poutine Regime in the past were mostly internal party revolts seeking to replace one master with another she is determined for hers to be different and instead of merely seeking to install a vanguard party, to bring about a democratic system that brings equality, progress, and social change. How exactly such a complicated system would be established in a world that hasn't seen democracy in several generations remains but Villow is confident that such a system can be implemented. Whatever the case is, she knows one thing: every day that the Poutine Regime continues its rule of terror is an unacceptable day.
She hopes to erode the power of the super-corporations that dominate much of the everyday life of the average Chantemerian to eventually create a stateless classless society, though she is aware that such a nonsense utopia will likely never be possible. But she believes that it is a goal that everyone should strive to be as close to attaining as possible even if impossible in the end. For now, she is content with bringing back freedom to her people and stopping the atrocities of the Poutine Regime.
HISTORY
Suhara Villow was born in 874 on the world of Chantemer. From birth, she was already guaranteed a position in the ruling class, the Poutine Regime, that had existed long before her parents were even born. She was seen as a fairly unremarkable child who paid the proper reverence to the Supreme Leader and could recite the national anthem from the heart. The only thing that stood out about her was that instead of wanting to become a party lackey who would be guaranteed a prosperous life, she wished to become an officer in the Cebeuq Navy. In the naval academy, she proved herself to be a capable leader not just winning battles but commanding her fellow students. A large clique of naval students began to form around her that attracted the interest of Internal Security however they dismissed the case as inconsequential, just another club of blue-bloods forming.
If those investigating internal security agents had a time machine, they no doubt would have gone back and publicly executed the entire class of 899. Villow pulled enough strings to get her entire clique to crew the Frigate Soulèvement that she had been assigned the First Mate of that when she ordered a mutiny against the captain it was swift and bloodless.
It was then that she revealed that she had been radicalized from a young age, her position of privilege granting her access to the Holonet which had been denied to the common citizen where she learned of the atrocities of the Poutine Regime and the true extent of their authoritarianism. Most party members would have shrugged and gone on with their lives, comfortable in blocking out the cries of the oppressed so long as they got their star yacht. But Villow could not stand idly by and while in the academy she recruited like-minded individuals to partake in her plan to spark an uprising.
Leading her Frigate into planetary orbit she used her clearance to breach the Holonet firewall that had been placed around Chantemer and broadcasted a call to arms in rebellion against the tyrannical regime while revealing databanks full of evidence about the atrocities of the regime. She described her dream of a truly democratic and equal Chantemer, something that not even her parents could remember. Despite having expected failure and execution, she was shocked to see that the starships sent to shoot the Soulèvement down instead defected over to her side.
At the same time uprisings and strikes broke out all over Chantemer. The people had been afraid of stepping out of line in fear of severe reprisal but the speech of Villow and the sight of defecting ships inspired many to openly defy the ruling regime. Many of these insurrections were quickly put down by Loyalist forces but many of these rebels fled into the countryside to continue the fight.
Villow became the de-facto leader of the uprising which had mostly coalesced under her banner. Despite never wanting such a position, she decided to shoulder the burden. Realizing that despite the defections and disruption of the Regime's activities the forces at her disposal were not yet strong enough to confront the Loyalists on open ground, she ordered a retreat of the fleet elements under her command out of the system.
In exile, she hopes to gather enough strength and diplomatic recognition to return to her home and free it. One of the major powers that have caught her eye is none other than the final bastion of democracy in the Galaxy, the Galactic Alliance.
