Mothlua of Vubhe

Kiellar Command (formerly)

Kiellar-Engineering Academy (formerly)

## **Strengths and Weaknesses**

### Strengths

**Mothlua** is your average marine with an academic education. She can shoot straight and has the training of a military engineer, all while having a greater than casual knowledge of mathematics and the sciences.

Mothlua's cybernetic arm drastically increases her strength.

### Weaknesses

Mothlua's indifference and chronic daydreaming can get her into trouble, especially if the situation is slow enough to put her to sleep.

Mothlua's cybernetic arm is vulnerable to electromagnetic pulses.

## **Personality**

*"Don't ever call me lazy again."*

Experiencing such a disappointment in her education caused Mothlua to become inattentive to the world around her. Her childhood dreams were destroyed, so she finds it difficult to find a purpose. She continues to study science in her spare time, with the meager resources she owns.

Although seemingly indifferent and uncaring, she has risked her life as part of a team in order to rescue her leaders. She even risked her life to rescue creatures, even though they had been shooting at her, once they were defenseless.

## **Background**

Mothlua was born to a famous Kiel scientist on Relenar. As a child she was told how she reminded everyone of her father's genius, so she pursued a scientific career.

At the Kiellar-Engineering Academy, after 15 years of studying she was nearing the half-way mark. A cruel quantum flux caused her to earn the lowest grade out of her class on the year's final exam, which effectively eliminated all of her progress.

Immediately she was disowned by her scientific family, leaving her with a singular legal career option available: marine. She underwent the necessary training, got certified in marine military engineering, and was assigned to her first probationary mission aboard a prison transport. When the alarms went off and she left her bunk, unarmored, someone clubbed her from behind leaving her unconscious, waking up as a prisoner several hours later.

## **Voyages**

Mothlua joined the crew, primarily because her fellow Kiellar did. She helped rescue the Commander after the fight on Pleasure Station. She assisted her fellow crewmembers in securing the Defiance after its crashland, although her personal experience was very uncomfortable. Reluctantly joining Strike Team Tetra, she led the charge to rescue the Captain in Gollar territory and then risked her life trying to save wounded enemies.

During the crew's operation in the Gadawei IV system, Mothlua and half of the crew remained on-board the *Defiance*. The ship was shot down and eventually boarded by members of the Command. The ordeal ended in her left arm being amputated, which effectively prevented her from participating in the rescue mission on the *Undeniable*.

In the month following the final mission, Mothlua decided to travel with Vandul to deliver his sister's remaining crystals to the sibling's parents on Relenar. Because Mothlua and Vandul had both been declared "dead" following the Command's loss of the *Defiance*, it wasn't difficult for two Kiel to enter Kiel territory aboard a neutral transport.

Before the two left Relenar, Mothlua had received her cybernetic replacement for her left arm. Together the two Kiel returned to Gollar territory, as nothing was left for them on Relenar, where they assumed they would meet up with the original crew.
