Physical Description

Appearance

Personal Image

Arcia Cortel is extremely militaristic, and it definitely shows in her stern posture and general appearance. She wears her hair at regulation shoulder-length, and keeps it colored a neutral brown accented by her naturally blonde bangs. Cybernetic optics keep her eyes aglow with a soft olive hue that seems to brighten when angered, set amidst facial features that are sharp and relatively attractive, though most definitely nothing to swoon over. A faint application of dark eyeliner, warm shades painted across full lips, and naturally blonde brows - sporting a slight arch with no additional forced styling - penciled softly darker display the woman's little care for the overuse of makeup.

Absent any of the aforementioned cosmetics for presentation, Arcia's eyes are ringed in shadows and creases, tired and worn with hardship. Sharp cheekbones rest higher upon her face and her nose protrudes outward slightly less than an average Human female, starting from a low bridge and ending softly in a rounded point. Arcia’s skin is ivory in color.

Remember New Tython (General Aspect)

Everyone remembers New Tython, but few can truly say it affected them greatly. Arcia’s birth home and family were ripped from her when Pravus laid waste to the home of Clan Odan-Urr, inspiring her to believe in and uphold every aspect of the rebellious cause that is known as the Lotus. Everything Arcia does is to better those that fight for the cause and to protect them, but her ultimate goal is to bring Darth Pravus to justice by any means necessary. Acts such as intimidation through execution and torture, though severely breaching her own moral compass, would not be beyond her capabilities if it meant gaining ground against the Grandmaster. This has shown to others that Arcia is living for the cause, but has also brought about thoughts that she is an extremist and takes it just a little too far.

Remember Me For Centuries (General Aspect)

Cortel was born the unremarkable child of two powerful Force-users. Resented by her parents from birth, she grew up determined to prove her worth and surpass all expectations when everyone else expected her to fail. Arcia would grow up to be remarkable. Throughout her life, she always performed everything she did to the best that it could be done, showing no quarter in reaching that peak. Her drive and excellence, continuously rising when everyone expected her to fall, eventually won even the respect of the Force-users she was raised with. She's carried this attitude into adulthood, and still invests her all in any given task or goal. Carrying herself in such a way has unfortunately caused Cortel to judge others harshly, expecting those serving under her to also to perform above and beyond. At times, she can push too much, causing strained working relationships and become difficult to work with.

Won’t See Me Cry (Personality Aspect)

More or less abandoned by her parents and scorned by the other Force-users like them, Arcia Cortel has always had to be strong for herself, and strong to win any scrap of respect or affection. She is extremely dedicated to her goals and tasks, business-like and harsh, and has trouble with dropping the mask or interacting more casually, especially towards those with affinity to the Force. This can cause friction between herself and her subordinates of the Jedi archetype, but she will always stand her ground, never ever showing the vulnerability chiseled into her by a lack of proper parenting and the disdain she endured throughout her life.

You're As Cold As Ice (Personality Aspect)

Arcia's hardline, business-like attitude turns people off, especially how she runs a tight ship. Rules and regulations govern her everyday life due to her military upbringing, service as an Arconan Fleet Admiral and the Hoth JTF's Commander. This manner of thinking allows Arcia to run her crew, as well as teams she leads, as a single entity, rather than groups of disorganized individuals, though the frequent berating of her crew and ship’s guests to follow her orders to the letter led to the nickname “Ice Witch.” Her clan and subordinates see the shining spirit under her cold exterior, however; anyone familiar with Arcia as a leader will trust her implicitly, knowing she will do everything she can to ensure her clan powers through whatever challenge the galaxy throws at them. However, while she has the trust and loyalty, she has a hard time relating to her crew off the clock.

Well, If I Have To (Combat Aspect)

Arcia Cortel will always leave the fighting to those under her command and more suited for the task, but there will come times where she will be expected to hold her own. As a last resort, Arcia’s personal combat tactics come to play through primary use of her custom slugthrower pistol. When forced into a hand-to-hand situation, Arcia will do whatever she can to distract her opponent and give herself time to put distance between the two, including but not limited dirty fighting. This limited ability of self-sufficient combat will cause her to be easily overpowered against a skilled fighter, both Force-user and non.

I Have Something For That (Combat Aspect)

Cortel understands how to use her slugthrower and how to throw a punch, but that doesn't necessarily mean she should, according to her beliefs. It is an Admiral's job to lead and coordinate troops, not to be doing their jobs on the front lines. Instead, Arcia trusts her subordinates with their own responsibilities, knowing they'll get the job done. This belief, with her dedication to ship and crew, has garnered a sense of standing loyalty from them; for any action or order that she cannot accomplish herself, she has a crewman or component that will do it for her. This, however, causes a problem when she is alone or stranded, as she is extremely limited in her own ability. This mostly shows during combat scenarios, where her personal ability can be, and is often, overwhelmed by a more experienced opponent.
