Tori Valdez

## **Backstory**

Born into the lower levels of Coruscant, she grew up fast, becoming a cut throat enforcer for the Black Sun. When she was eventually caught and arrested at age 18 trying to kill an Imperial officer who had shot her friend, her talents were seen by Imperial advisers after she took out a majority of the patrol. She was given an ultimatum. Either she could join a top secret, experimental, and disposable Special Forces team code named "Unit 38." If she refused, she would be executed. Tori chose the former. Immediately, she and others were heavily augmented and sent on dangerous missions across the galaxy, many of which were wildly successful. She and her unit were given the most experimental weaponry and equipment for field testing by the Imperial Research Corps. When she was caught sleeping with a civilian in her off time, Tori was transferred to the *Evictus* as punishment, or so the records claim. The exact reason is classified. She was spared prison time or worse for her outstanding service and service record.

## **Personality**

Though looked down upon by others for her age, she is a hyper lethal asset. Her intelligence is in the genius levels on the Imperial Intelligence scale. When the situation calls for it, she is a brutal and fierce person who takes command of a situation. When she can be, she is a raging flirt.

Tori has been described as responsible, sweet, mysterious, cautious and observant. This is to be expected from somebody with such a highly classified past.

## **Physical Appearance**

Standing at 6'3", she is very muscular from constantly working out and mildly intimidating. She is described as stunningly beautiful with a great body, with curves. She has scars and other markings on her from augmentations she received as part of the deal she struck with the Empire.

## Weapons and Equipment

Though she can use plasma weapons very effectively (notably dual wielding her E-11s), she prefers her Electro staff and riot shield to subdue enemies.

She likes to modify her equipment, going so far as to nearly redesign the standard Stormtrooper armor with her own twists (including having a hoodie-like helmet that retracts into her armor). As a result, it is much more hardened to blaster fire and nearly immune to Slug thrower rounds.

Valdez has modified her weapons as well, notably her Phrik-Duranium alloy collapsible riot shield which is mounted on her right forearm. She also owns and uses a collapsible Electro staff.
