Professional History: Ruby and Dalida spent their first three years aboard smuggling ships. After her parents were killed, Ruby was put into a separate Orphanage on Corellia then her sister until she escaped at the age of 5. She became a street urchin till the age of 8, when she became a pick-pocket, runner and courier for the Senak Hutt Conglomerate. She helped CorSec break the Senak Hutts down, and for two years after she became 16, she worked as a field agent in the CorSec Covert Ops division. She spent the next year as a trader & smuggler with her sister Dalida, until they crash-landed on the forest planet of Dar'Or in the Dar'Or system. From then until she was 22, she became a Jedi guardian, finally rising to Jedi Knight. On a trip to Yavin IV, she was corrupted to the Dark-Side and helped her sister kill their Jedi master with help of evil Sith presence and its Sith holocron. The twins became Dark Side Marauders with training from the Holocron, and went out into the galaxy. 

Background: Ruby was born as a twin in the Smuggler's Sector of Corellia's capital. Her parents ran a successful smuggling operation, and Ruby & Dalida travelled with them. Ruby has a treasured teddy bear that her father gave her named Mokket.

They had no other known relatives, and has no idea who sanctioned their parent's death. Neither of the twins were told about their family's Jedi history and were broken up quickly.

Ruby spent the next two years in an orphanage where her sole companion was a small teddy bear that she named Mokket. Eventually, she broke out. With nowhere to go, she managed to survive on the streets for three tough years, scrounging food and clothing where needed, until the Senak Hutts found her. 

Realising a young female human would be useful in eluding CorSec, they trained her to be a courier & runner for their Corellian operations. This lasted until she managed to help CorSec crush the Senak operations when she was 14. In return, they sent her to a private shelter until the 'heat' died down.

CorSec helped reunite Ruby and Dalida and when they turned 16, Ruby enlisted for a two year tour of duty in the CorSec's Special Ops shadow-division, where she learnt a lot about killing others without weapons and security procedures, while Dalida started a trading company with some semi-legit smuggling which CorSec ignored.

As part of her work, Ruby volunteered for a sensor-resistant bio-engineering makeover to enhance her natural reflexes and body. Because of this, she has to always show a BioEng permit if discovered or face possible imprisonment plus the surgical removal of parts of the bio-engineering without anaesetic. ruby4.jpg (51 Kb)One of the interesting side-affects is that no hair grows on her body below her neck. During her time in CorSec, Ruby commited some acts that could be considered evil and started moving towards the dark side, even though her force ability was untrained and largely unusable. 

After her time in CorSec, Ruby and Dalida spent a year working together as smugglers. Working in life-threatening situations aboard a cramped transport, they became attracted together and started a very intense sexual relationship that continues to this day.

It was at this time that the twins were forced to crash-land on the low-gravity forest world of Dar'Or in the Dar'Or system, known as in Imperial charts as OM973. While exploring, they came across a a female Caamasi named Sanari who turned out to be a Jedi master in hiding after the Emperor's extermination of Jedi. Dar'Or is home to the intelligent flying mammals called Ri'Dar, the predatory sloth-like sabertoothed indola and the avian elix. The Imperials declared Dar'Or to be an Imperial Species Preservation Zone, so Sanari bargained with the Ri'Dar to help hide them.

Since their ship was damaged badly & would need a lot of repairs, they were stuck there for awhile. However, one of the few things they salvaged was Ruby's teddy bear, Mokket.

Smugglers broke the travel restrictions, and unbeknownst to Dalida or Sanari, Ruby reguarly attacked them to get spare parts.

Even though Sanarai detected a hidden selfish mean streak in Ruby yet a soft vulnerability as well, she accepted Ruby as a padawan on request from Dalida, who showed far more promise. Ruby became attached to Sanarai's R2 astromech, which she nicknamed Tika. Practising her repair skills, she upgraded some of Tika's systems and removed some annoying ethical programming blocks.

During the next couple of years, Ruby and Dalida trained under Sanarai's tutelage, learning how to control their inner Force, sense and interpret the universal binding Force and finally, to manipulate both the inner and universal Force. Ruby was especially susceptible to the dark side, and Sanarai became quite worried. Numerous arguments ensued between the three of them about Ruby's lack of morals.

Sanari recieved word from the Rebels that Yavin IV had an evil presence residing and felt she needed to investigate. While she knew that Dalida should come with her, she was not very happy about taking now-tainted Ruby as well. However, Dalida managed to convince her master that it would be okay & she would help stop Ruby straying further. Using the now-repaired transport, they left Dar'Or. Travelling through the Mid and Inner Rims, they stopped off at numerous places. Ruby picked up the skills of a deep space pilot, becoming a natural astrogater and very familiar with both sectors, while Dalida specialised as a gunner. Eventually, they made it to Yavin.

During the first year, exposure to the dark evil Sith presences on the planet begain slowly corrupting the twins, who had less willpower then Sanari against this bombardment. While Dalida was able to hold off the effects better as she was wiser, her sister started falling quickly towards the dark side. 

Early in the second year, the twins came across a hidden Sith temple, which Dalida was nervous about entering due to the evil presence they both felt. However, Ruby bullied her into following. Inside, they met the spirit of an old Sith lord. Dalida was able to convince her sister to flee, and their master forbade them from going anywhere near the temple. 

Over the next couple of months, Ruby secretly disobeyed & visited the temple. The Sith lord was delighted and started indoctrinating the vulnerable girl with the help of a Sith holocron, as well as teaching her how to subconsciously direct her twin towards the dark side as well. Ruby slipped closer until she facing the brink of the abyss, while the Sith lord followed her efforts at tainting Dalida.

When Ruby arrived one afternoon after she had succeeded in tainting her twin, the Sith lord had a surprise ready for her. She was brutally attacked and raped by some of the Sith Lord's twisted abominations. Her anger at this action caused her to totally succumb and arise from her assault as a darksider.

When she arrived back at the camp, Ruby convinced Dal that Sanari was plotting against both of them. During a training session,  the pair turned on Sanari and executed her. Heading back to the temple, Ruby watched as Dalida embraced the Dark Side and gave herself over.

The Sith lord's ghost trained them with the holocron as Dark Side Marauders, teaching them the new skills of sith sorcery and alchemy, along with improving other skills that the Sith lord believed would be necessary. Using items stored in the Yavin temples and remains from the old Rebel bases, Ruby fashioned herself a sith lanvarok, which is a weapon that fires a flurry of sharp steel blades in a spray.

After he was happy with them, he unleashing into the universe with Sanari's transport and some hidden treasures. Arriving at the nearest world with the secret hoard of money from their master, Ruby and Dalida bought a better transport and used thier skills to upgrade Tika, to the droid's happiness. 

During this time, Ruby practised using their alchemy skills on various creatures, and ended up keeping a mutated Kowakian Monkey-Lizard that she nicknamed Kruk. 

It wasn't long before the pair had saved up enough money to have a custom starfighter built by a Mon Calamari dealer. Ruby was quite pleased when her sister suggested they assassinate the dealer afterwards. Later on during a mission, Dalida was able to steal a Corellian Gunship run by internal droid-automation from a pirate base as an Imperial taskforce swooped in. Luckily, the Interdictor was late and the twins were able to escape.

Both Ruby and Dalida have extensively modified their vessels, and bought a Lambda-class shuttle as well for when Ruby's fighter wouldn't be advised. Once this was done, they moved to Tel'Thranan.

Personality: Underneath, Ruby is selfish, mean and sadistic. She has been noted to be violent, psychotic, untrustworthy, rebellious and disloyal as well. Ruby has completely given herself over to the Dark Side and delights in inflicting (or recieving) pain. She is not diplomatic, and has a very quick temper to boot. She also knows swear words in lots of languages, and readily uses them when needed. Ruby has no qualms about using her body or any other skill to get what she wants since she absolutely has no honour code, and will do whatever is necessary to get by. Ruby dislikes not being in control, but her sister noted that she makes a very fine submissive during their romantic encounters.


During a passionate interlude

Vehicle of Choice Ruby flys a custom-built space superiority starfighter, known as an Iridiniya-class starfighter, thats she nicknamed 'Privateer'. This starfighter has extraordinary maneuverability and speed equal to an A-Wing, despite being much larger, with fast atmospheric capabilities. A single gunner, normally her sister Dalida, sits behind Ruby in a slightly raised section, like an modern-day Apache Gunship. However, droid automation can be used to handle gunnery if neccessary, but only at a Normal (+2) quality level. When landing, legs come out of the main section and the middle strut folds up. The front section, containing the two pilots and astromech, can jettison and act as an escape pod should no other option exist.

Privateer has a Fabritech ANx-v Array Security System installed, which provides a 7 metre early warning system that will activate the droid automation & blast away at anyone in range with the two sets of two turretted fire-linked laser cannons plus any other laser cannons that are in the correct arc. 

The main armaments are four frontal fire-linked laser cannons and two sets of turreted pair-fire-linked laser-cannons. For extra punch, a stolen Selonian Armaments Mag Pulse Cannon, firing from the rear between the twin ion-engines, and a proton torpedo launcher, firing to the front out of a top assembly , deck out this fighter. In the case that extra weight needs to be jettisoned, small explosive bolts can seperate the proton torpedo launcher and storage assembly from the rest of the fighter, remotely-detonated if neccessary with the potential of masking the fighter as it jumps to hyperspace or activates its amazing-quality (+8) sensor mask before powering down to run silent. Ruby and Dalida would then go into force trances on intravenous drips until Tika acknowledges safety & wakes them.

A hyper-transciever and slave circuits deck out this fighter.  While Ruby normally uses Tika in an astromech capacity, she can astrogate by herself. A tinkered x 0.5 hyperdrive is used in the fighter, along with a slower x2 backup hyperdrive.  The cargo bay of 300 kilograms has enough room for Ruby and Dalida's flight-suits, their weapons, Ruby's poison & toxin supplies, various other supplies and two hovering Dark-Eye class Sith Probe Droids. Ruby's is called XiCha, and Dalida's is called Nebor. Both are armed with a low-profile laser cannon, a stun blaster and a needler gun that fires injecting darts. Ruby fills XiCha's with the same neuro-toxin contained in her lightsaber traps, while Dalida uses a powerful tranquilizer that knocks out people for upto 4 hours.

When travelling long distances or when she does not need it, Ruby stores her fighter in Dalida's gunship.

Base Of Operations: The modified Corellian Gunship, 'Crimson Fury', forms the mobile base of operations for Ruby and Dalida. 

Form Of Dress: When alone (or with her twin sister) and during exercises or meditation, Ruby wears no clothing.

While flying her starfighter, she wears a standard flight suit.

Normally when out of her fighter or the gunship , she is known to wear tight revealing clothing. She has a number of all-weather robes & cloaks, along with numerous other outfits.

Contained in her starfighter's small cargo bay is also stored a stolen suit of standard fleet issue Stormtrooper armour that was internally modified to hide the obvious signs of her being female, an Imperial Cadet's uniform and rough clothes similar to a Corellian beggar. Also stored are some jeans and a couple of seductive dresses with slinky lace underwear.

Weapons of Choice: As part of her Jedi training, Ruby designed and built her own personal lightsaber. Her master showed her how to adjust the crystal layout to shift the light frequency to modify her blade's color to ruby.  Since it rained frequently on Dar'Or, Ruby made her lightsaber water-proof, and only totally submersion will stop it working. Since Ruby is very dexterous, she trained on how to use the lightsaber with much greater finesse then strength, which allows her to cause more damage as she flicks it slightly inside her target.

The switch is set to need a single click for on and a double-click to turn it off. Turning the switch 90 degrees switches from a blade length of 1.3 metres to 1.5 metres.

During her time in CorSec

 

Once she became a Dark Side Marauder, she added a cell recogniser. When incorrect recognition occurs, small sharp barbed spikes fire out  of the handle, injecting the person holding it with a powerful quick-acting nerve & blood toxin that she developed & makes with her alchemy skills. This toxin causes painful spasms and frothing at the mouth while the target's CNS degrades & their artery walls become totally porous.

In addition to her lightsaber, Ruby carries an S-2 Ascension heavy blaster pistol at her side, since its built-in grappling spike launcher is useful at times.

Stuffed into her boots (or in feet holsters of her customized body armor) are twin Merr-Sonn 'Happy Surprise' hold-out blasters.

On her right arm, she sometimes wears her sith lanvarok. This weapon fires a flurry of deadly thin but solid sharpened disks in an unpredictable 'spray' pattern.

Superhuman Powers or Augmentations to Body: Ruby was trained as a Jedi Knight then a Dark Side Marauder. Overall, her Force skills are stronger then her sisters. 

In addition, she has numerous bio-engineering improvements that were paid for by CorSec to improve her effectiveness as a field agent to infiltrate enemy organisations. These improvements include hidden gills, which allow Ruby to breathe above or under water normally. She is less prone to wear and the physical affects of aging as her skeletal structure and joints are reinforced with sensor resistant materials.

 

Ruby's Lightsaber

One of the major modifications to her body is an extensive array of bio-circuitry in her brain and a couple of other places in her body which allow her the ability to access computer archives using a sensor-resistant standard computer data-port that can be disconnected from its access cable with no side-affects by an instant signal from the bio-circuit in her brain or the detection of electricity feedback. A special protected buffer provides protection from any computer viruses or deliberate attempts by the computer to damage her brain. An encryptable commlink is also part of this circuitry.

Another major modification involved replacing her nerve fibres with faster artificial versions. This is why she has faster reflexes and agility. These nerve fibres make her vulnerable to ion guns, which render her unconscious and causes her to twitch for a few hours.

Her eyes have been replaced with sensor-resistant cybernetic versions that provide increased telescopic-distance vision upto 1000 metres of clear sight. Her left eye also provides IR sight while the right eye also provides UV sight, thus giving her incredible vision like Sullustans in no light. Due to the different frequencies, her sight does not extend as far under no-light conditions. Her hearing was increased 10-fold by the replacement of part of her inner ear with cybernetic versions as well. Both sight and sound are linked to her bio-circuitry, allowing her to record like a holo-recorder. 

Her left hand has a sensor-resistant electromagnetic sensor built-in, which gives her the ability to detect magnetic and electromagnetic fields. It is also able to produce a limited but highly tuneable variable EM field to range of 1', but this takes a lot out of her physically.

Abilities: She is an expert with the lightsaber, and has the ability to deflect blaster shots with her lightsaber. For a limited amount of time, she can move with lightning speed upto 20 times normal. In addition, Ruby is a trained martial artist.

When she wants to, Ruby can channel her rage into a berserker fury, increasing her strength, vitaliy, fortitude and willpower at the temporary loss of some of her defense skills.

Her Force skills are, in order of strength - Force Grip, Alchemy, Illusion, Transfer Essence, Fear, Drain Knowledge, Farseeing, Move Object, Battlemind, Heal Self, Drain Energy, Force Defense, Force Stealth, Force Push, Affect Mind, Empathy, Enhance Senses, Friendship, Enhance Ability, See Force, Telepathy, Heal Another.

Ruby is an expert code-slicer and crack mechanic. She is a phenomenal pilot & natural astrogater with the ability to just sense when a hyperspace trip is likely to fail. She is very good at knocking out machines, lock-picking and acrobatic. Also, she is well-versed with many thief skills, such as escape artistry, pick-pocketing, disguise, forgery, listening, spotting, appraising, information gathering, bluffing, climbing and  jumping. When Ruby doesn't want to be found, she is incredibly stealthy using her impressive Force and non-Force based skills.  

After living on the streets as a young girl, she has become very street-wise. During her time in CorSec Covert Ops, she was intimately trained in the art of seduction, espionage and infiltration as well as how to kill quickly & effectively. Ruby also has an intimate knowledge of toxins & poisons.

Special Notes: During her time in CorSec and as a smuggler, Ruby has built up a list of contacts in the black market and a long chain of people who owe her favours.

When she is aboard the Gunship, Mokket takes pride-of-place in her quarters, or sometimes can be seen in a special armored crash-seat on the bridge that will automatically seal & fill with carbon-dioxide in case of atmospheric disruption.

When Ruby has to leave the Gunship or her starfighter, Mokket stays in Privateer's cargo bay, but Mokket gets to ride up front otherwise with Ruby when she flies her starfighter. Mokket has his own fully-functional teddy-sized flightsuit in case there is a need to eject or the cockpit is opened to space.
