"Ember" was an ace pilot serving with the paramilitary forces aboard the Halcyon during the early stages of the Sith Empire. Though extremely agile and capable with a weapon, his weapon of choice was the multi-missile rocket systems when mounted on smaller vessels. (...)

## **Biography**

### **Sith Empire**

Working alongside the Sith Empire from the start as a Sith Commando, Ember quickly found himself as a Captain, leading a small taskforce until they were wiped in an incident involving numerous Sith Juggernauts going rogue, leading to Ember leaving the Commandos and joining the First Medical Evacuation in the Empire's Fury under Darth Cassabitira, who he never really got to know, though he served with one of his apprentices, one General "Catalyst".

Of course, Ember somewhat hated his general purely because she was an officer, though was willing to work with her as she was capable when fighting alongside her troops.

### **Grand Army of the Republic**

Having found his way off the Halcyon in his Ghostrider Infantry Transport Vehicle with nothing but an FX-11 Thunderbird Interceptor in the back and his custom shotgun, Ember found himself face to face with the Republic. This of course went well until he met with someone equally paranoid, Grand Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin; their encounter leading to Ember taking out the defenses in the hangar and then killing thirty clones.

Of course, Tarkin not taking kindly to manslaughter, put Ember in a maximum security cell after Ignis handled Ember with tractor beams in the hangar bay.

#### **Maximum Security Detention Cells**

##### **Breakout 01: Explosives**

> "Wanna see me do it?"
>
>

> "I'd like to see you try"
>
>

> "You said I had a thing for things shoved up rectums, hold on - I suggest standing back"
>
>

> "what are you doing?"
>
>

> "I'm escaping dummy"
>
>

> - Ember to ARC Lt. Torrent before the former broke out
>

First escape attempt, notably having spoken a lot about how officers have a stick up their rectums, Ember pulls out a brick of C4 from his rectum, combining it with thermite he also acquired from said rectum, burning the hinges asunder before blowing the door off. Although this ended poorly, with Ember simply being thrown back in the cell

Now, the security team attached a 'new, stronger door', four ray shields to serve as barriers so he can't reach the door and made sure to search him thoroughly for weapons then keep extra personnel around the cell in case he tried again. Little did they know what they were up against.

##### **Breakout 02: Ray Shields**

> "Gotta say; you picked a really bad time to reveal that C4"
>
>

> "Nah, I'm complying or whatever, could probably break out without it, though handing you the actual explosives might be good for safety"
>
>

> - ARC Lt. Torrent to Ember after the latter broke out, Ember later breaking out without explosives
>

Now within a Maximum security cell, that has somehow been made more secure, Ember laughed in the faces of the security team when he abused that they did not bolt the ray shields to a surface, leading to him tipping the projects over; using the four republic ray shields to burn through the cell wall. Walking through the squared hole in his cell wall, now facing 'George', a massive crab droid.

> "No hard feelings ok?"
>
>

> "Yeah that's quite alright"
>
>

> - 'George' to Ember before the former stunned the other

The Security team now, properly mounting the ray shields around the cell, even making sure the shields overlap so the projectors cannot be reached from the inside of the cell. During this time he would speak further with 'George', who he now came to see as a friend.

##### **Breakout 03: Reflecting Ray Shields**

> "That's like what, your 50th pair of aviators?"
>
>

> "Keep counting"
>
>

> - 'George' to Ember, Ember putting on aviators
>
>

Utilizing his obscene amount of aviators, Ember used the glasses from multiple pairs, melting them together with the heat from the ray shields. After a short while, Ember had made a mirror, one he used to reflect the ray shields, passing by the first four layers. Further, he attempted to negotiate, attempting to make them put him in a shock-collar or such instead of keeping him in a cell.

> "Anyways, uhh if you un break out, want some coffee?"
>
>

> "Doesn't sound all that bad, though I'd rather just have some handcuffs or such on"
>
>

> "... You realize how that sounds, correct?"
>

Ember, now wearing a shock-collar and stun cuffs, drinking coffee outside his cell, having acquired his shotgun, enjoying his day. At least he was until the guards came around. The guards motioning for Ember to drop his shotgun, which he didn't do before grabbing another cup of coffee. This came in rather handy when the guards started firing at Ember, him retaliating by burning the closer clones with his coffee, the screaming filling the halls as they burned in agony, Ember throwing his coffee mug at another guard with enough force to rattle his helmet.

Though still, not even Ember is enough of a one man army to take down the security team whilst unarmed, he was taken out by the shock-collar they put on him earlier, taking everything on his person bar his aviators. The cell now being reinforced with another new, even heavier cell door, spare doors for later use; further, they set the stun-cuffs to stun Ember if he went outside of the cell.

##### **Breakout 04: Plumbing**

> "Need me to break out a fourth time?"
>
>

> ”The intent is for you to, well, not.”
>
>

> "Yeah how'd that work the last three times?"
>
>

> ”Not so well.”
>
>

> - Ember to the Security Team Lieutenant as the team reinforced the cell further
>

Ripping off his shirt, Ember clogged the toilet in his cell, then flushed. This led to the cell slowly flooding, the water damaging the stun cuffs and shock-collar to where they didn't activate when the security team activated them. Ember then broke off a part of his bed, using it as a makeshift crowbar, the absolute madman jamming it up against the door. The security team opened the door, Ember being thrown out with all the water, then quickly stunned by the outside guards.

> "Ok seriously this guy is more trouble than he's worth at this point - why is he still here"
>
>

> ”No clue.”
>
>

> - ARC Lt. Torrent to the security team after the breakout
>
>

The Security team fixed the stun-cuffs and shock-collar, trapping Ember within four layers of ray shields, then holding Ember in place directly with another, making sure he cannot move at all.

##### **Breakout 05: Aviators**

> "Do you have any explanation for this *commander*"
>
>

> "Somehow, he used AVIATORS to REFLECT the RAY SHIELDS in his cell and get out, then A CERTAIN SECURITY GUARD just LET HIM escape.. Grand Admiral, what should I do with the gunship pilot?"
>
>

> - Grand Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin to Commander Ignis CC-0601
>
>

Ignis himself now taking care of Ember, putting a straitjacket on him then trapping him in a completely new cell, holding him with ray shields, a full security team and then stun cuffs, preparing a containment field for later use.

##### **Breakout 08: Superheated Coffee**

Commander Ignis having been kind enough to leave Ember a coffee machine, not fully knowing the extent of Embers genius.

Using the coffee machine, Ember made coffee, using that scolding hot coffee to burn through the shock collar, breaking them. After he would remove the bottom part of the coffee machine, adjust how hard the coffee was expelled from the machine, making a functioning long distance coffee machine. Using this ingenious invention, Ember would burn through the switch to the ray shields, destroying it.

When he thought he had just messed up and rendered himself stuck, he poured coffee onto the ray shield, shorting out the energy matrix before walking up to the cell door, grinding the coffee beans, making stronger coffee than he had ever done in his life, trying to burn through the hinges of the door; and it did an obscene amount of nothing.

This is where Ember combined the coffee-machine with the power supply of the ray shields, overclocking the machine, superheating coffee, grinding the last of his coffee beans down before melting the hinges of the door, making his way out.

Outside his cell, incapacitating the first guard by hitting him over the head with the machine, taking out the second one with an impressive dropkick. But this is where the true genius struck; Ember, stealing the coffee beans from the coffee machines outside, using the blasters of the clones he just took out along with their armour, providing himself with protection and a modified coffee machine, functioning much like that of a rifle.

##### **Breakout 09: Super-Superheated Coffee**

Not knowing how to get out, Ember tried using the force to open the door, struggling severely due to his extremely poor force sensitivity; yet opening the door, sneaking out, taking down the guards before making his way to the armory. Using his training with the special forces, hacking the armory door and acquiring his Superheated coffee rifle, then making another so he can dual-wield them; Ember found himself headed towards the hangar.

Of course, Commander Ignis was dying on the inside, watching the lunatic escape once more, and sent clones to capture Ember. Using long range, sniper rifles and such, pinning Ember down in a hallway; he quickly realized that two rifles wouldn't cut it - so he combined the two.

Coupling the power packs together, making sure to have adequate wiring so the weapon didn't short out, Ember made a more powerful variation of his former weapon, quickly peeking up, taking out an entire squad of clones with the first shot. Surely nothing could go wrong now. Though by having such extreme power behind the weapon, he evaporated all the remaining water in the tank, leaving him with no way of firing another shot.

#### **Free on the Sims-I**

After enough escapes, Ember was sent off to the 332nd on the Sims-1, where he was kept in check by constantly engineering alongside Obsidian, eventually going to the length of them making cybernetic eyes for the miraluka, where Ember found some solace in seeing. Though now struggled with having seen female clones, one of which he had met earlier; "Rylee", had dragged him off and forced herself on him, which made him uncomfortable around female clones.

He would calm down a lot and such after his memory loss started occurring, not having reasons to cope.

### **Fracture**

#### **Jakku**

Going with the 332nd to Jakku, Ember found himself asked to take off the 'ring' in his pocket. The ring telling him to keep it, Ember fighting back once they tried taking it from him. This fight led to Ember taking out the optical receptors of Theta; an HK-51, him gutting his lover with a glass slug and due to his superior training and sheer skill; Ember nigh-executed numerous 332nd clones even though they were wearing Beskar armour.

#### **Kuat**

Waking up on Kuat after forgetting the earlier events, Ember found himself in a cave alongside Jesse, Ahsoka, Theta, Obsidian and a few other 332nd clones, though with his knees injured so he couldn't move. Though he managed to patch up what he could, then waited for rescue in some deep dark corner, blending in with the rocks due to his matte-nearly black armour.

##### **TIE Pilot?**

Being discovered by the Empire, Ember managed to lure a single stormtrooper in, the stormtrooper of course looking at Ember and thinking he was some sort of TIE Pilot. After telling him that he was Special Operations and such, Ember was handcuffed and was ready to sacrifice himself to lure the stormtroopers out of the cave and away from the others. Though this was halted when the 332nd wasn't willing to let him go and engaged the stormtroopers, Ember breaking the neck of the one who cuffed him then playing dead for a solid hour as the firefight continued.

**A new home**

## **Personality and Traits**

A pilot and rescue operative, Ember is extremely calm under pressure, often not even flinching at being shot at or threats. Whilst serving with the Sith Empire, Ember had to deal with the Sith power struggle amidst the ranks, and surviving that tempered the man significantly and forced him to adopt a certain mindset, one where he doesn't provoke or attack first as to avoid trouble.

After the fall of the Halcyon and his encounter with the 'spiders', Ember suffered from extreme PTSD and had a strong desire to keep himself busy to avoid having time to think, which led to him engineering and fiddling with just about anything he got his hands on.

### **Relationships**

#### **Octavio**

During his time on the Sims-1, Ember would get involved in a romantic relationship with a female clone named Octavio, though this proved troublesome with his memories of 'Rylee' and such. Then in a spar with Obsidian, George, Octavio and Snek, Ember was 3rd partied by Theta. This engagement alongside the after effects of the attack on the Halcyon left him with memory loss.

Waking up from said memory loss, Ember was informed by Octavio that they were dating, then when it was confirmed by others, Ember; not knowing the extent of their relationship and not remembering his encounter with 'Rylee' previously, took their relationship behind closed doors.

This cycle would continue repeating due to his memory loss, until the 332nd eventually went to Jakku. here Octavio tried taking 'a ring' from him, the ring telling him to kill her as she did so.. and so he shot her in the stomach with a glass slug, leaving her to bleed out.

Of course, Ember would forget this encounter mere hours later, then when he looked at his tattoo's and heard his voice recorder telling him about his relationship with her he would ask where she was. Which led to Ember being reluctant to use firearms again.

## **Powers and Abilities**

### **Combat Abilities**

> "Uhhh, hey mister sniper-man, I would bother firing back but this shotgun of mine has an effective range of fourteen meters"
>
>

> “Shame.”
>
>

> "Could you all just come fight me up close or something?"
>
>

> - "Ember" yelling at "Ignis" whilst taking cover

As a Special operations operative and expert pilot, "Ember" is both well trained and experienced with combat. Having been working largely with rescue operations, he found a heavy shotgun for self defense to be the best fit for his needs; and adopted a fighting style extremely well suited for close quarters engagements.

Even though he has the training, Ember is hesitant to attack, much rather keeping firearms for self-defense and will thus only carry his shotgun with the required ammo types. Slugs being one of his favored ones as they give him an increased effective range; and he has yet to miss a shot with his shotgun.

### **Other Abilities**

> "You said I had a thing for things shoved up rectums, hold on"
>
>

> - Ember in his maximum security cell before blowing the door off its hinges with explosives he *somehow* brought with him
>
>

Due to his time with the Sith Empire, Ember despises those who attempt to lead if they can't do anything themselves; only following someone who can both command and fight, preferring the latter over the former - he would rather follow a dumb soldier than an all-knowing officer.

Further due to his experience with rescue operations, he has blown open multiple doors and busted through numerous walls to save his comrades, thus he always keeps explosives on hand; just in case.

At last, due to being Miraluka, Ember is force-sensitive, though has on numerous occasions stated how he 'didn't pay attention' during his training, and thus is nigh useless with anything bar Farsight, which is his main method of seeing, and offers Ember omnidirectional sight, further helping his skill with shotguns and hand-to-hand as he's extremely hard to sneak up on.

#### **Piloting Skills**

> "Why the actual fuck would you guys attack the guy in a fucking gunship?"

Gunships, despite having terrible eyesight, "Ember" is an excellent pilot, though relies heavily on ship systems for navigation as his lack of sight cripples his ability to fly independently.
