It's hard to pin someone down as a Tethelakan, as Tethelak is a galaxy melting pot. Due to the common and wide-spread acceptance of body modification and augmentation, Tethelakans certainly come in all shapes and sizes. While Tethelak's concept of gender is largely muddled, and only really defined during birth, most Tethelakans have little concept of \"male\" and \"female.\" Stella is no exception to this. Born \"female,\" to whatever extent it means in Tethelakan society, Stella stands at 6 feet, 2 inches, tall even for Tethelakan standards. Long, burnt orange hair cascades down to a modest bust, when it's not being held up in a ponytail. With a slender, athletic, and noticeably toned body, largely thanks to the rigorous training from Tethelak's military training and LANCER's training. Piercing, yet soft amber eyes rest on a sun-touched face. Tethelakans, despite being a varied populace, are all fairly tan due to the ruthless sun and blistering heat. In this regard, Stella is fairly light, despite having dark, almost auburn in color. Largely normal for a standard human. if not a tad taller and a tad darker...if not for extensive body modification and augments. Tethelak is known for being accepting and accommodating to body modification and augmentation, many of which are designed for aiding in living in a harsh desert environment. The most noticeable augmentation are reptilian-like scales lining Stella's skin. The scales, coming from the planets local fauna know as \"Kemodias,\" are small, but visible. They have been professionally attached via extensive surgeries and serve primarily as a natural defense mechanism against the frequent dust and sandstorms. While visible to the naked eye, they can be \"flexed\" to smooth across the skin during times where stealth is a necessity. They were colored to compliment Stella's natural skin tone, but when \"flexed\" out, are a noticeably lighter shade. Another major and visible modification is a thin, sleek tail reaching down just past the knees. It is distinctly darker than the rest of the skin and scales. appearing to be a deep blue or perhaps black in certain lighting, and being barbed at the end. While the barb isn't particularly sharp, the tail has deceptive strength and can wrap itself around objects to hold oneself in place, albeit temporarily. It also serves as a biological sensor of sorts. It can sense minor things such as intense tremors or heavy footsteps, and helps to improve balance. One more major augmentation are small horn-like protrusions on the sides of Stella's head. They're the same color as the tail, and only serve as more sensitive ears. The measure approximately 2.5 inches long, and can be pressed down to be concealed. The final, but much less apparent modification is a pale, distinctly forked tongue. While it serves no practical purposes, nor comes with enhanced senses or receptors, Stella insisted on \"completing the look.\" The thought process being \"If I'm going to put all this shit inside me, a may as well not pull any punches and go all out.\" Asked about this by the doctor performing such modifications, Stella simply replied \"cause it's fuckin' cool, and I already look like a humanoid Kemodia, so why not?\"  While Tethelak is, again, largely accepting and accommodating to modification and augmentation, Tethelakans are very aware such practices are frowned upon, scorned, and sometimes outright outlawed. Due to this, Stella has learned how to hide such modifications, and the Sylph Suit given by LANCER aids in concealing them when needed.</p>","notes":"Stella has no concept of pronouns, so has no preference as to which are used. Biologically speaking, Stella was born female, but due to Tethelakan society, gender is only a medical concept, and serves no purpose otherwise.","history":"<p>Born from a marriage between a water purification engineer and a silk tailor, young Stella Beltoro would live a lavish childhood. Hailing from Tanis Madra on the planet Tethelak, Stella would spend her time on the city's borders near the Blood Oasis working with her mother on the reverse-osmosis machines, the same devices that would make her township inhabitable. Stella was on track to assume Mother's role...until a sabotaged machine ended Mother's life. The direct attack on the township by the planet's notorious known as the Sand Sails was unfairly blamed on Stella, who would be sentenced to a lengthy jail sentence, if not for the intervening hand of Tethelak's 22nd Royal Lady. Seeing past the haze of confusion and rage, the Royal Lady would see the fury and determination in Stella, and would enlist Stella into Tethelak's military force, the Duneriders. Quickly exceeding expectations, Stella would be recruited into the Duststorm Ops, planning to be an ambassador for her planet. Unforeseen circumstances would lead Stella down a different path. Another attack was unleashed on Tanis Madra's water purifiers. and without hesitation Stella seized one of the Duststorm GMS mechs and launch into combat. Regardless of no prior mech training, Stella would easily eliminate the threats to Tethelak. Stella's superiors were furious, but the newly instated 23rd Royal Lady, Eliza Beltoro would spare Stella from any punishment yet again. Against much advise, the Royal Lady had Stella trained as an assassin and mech pilot, sending Stella to undertake missions alone under the cover of the ever-present sandstorms native to Tethelak. Earning her the callsign \"Sandstorm\" the Royal Lady took special interest in Stella, and was appointed, in secret, to the Queen's Court, the elite undercover agents who serve the Royal Lady and her alone. Stella would serve this position handily for years to come. Unbeknownst to Stella, Lady Beltoro, and the Royal Lady before her did indeed have special interest in Stella, as they were of the same blood. Knowing this, Lady Beltoro would give Stella the ultimate task; to leave Tethelak as a mech pilot and pursue further work with a new crew. Reluctant, Stella would set off with Khepri, the GMS mech named after an ancient folklore on Tethelak. Departing home, Stella sets off to a find a new crew, and to serve the Royal Lady until death.</p><p>\"Perhaps someday we shall tell the truth, of our family, of \"Mother's\" death, of the vested interest from a young age, but not today. I shall send Stella off, so that we have more time to prepare. Eliza Beltoro, 23rd Royal Lady of Tethelak's Dunes</p>","portrait":"","cloud_portrait":"https://i.imgur.com/g9Xu9bc.png","quirks":[],"current_hp":9,"reserves":[],"orgs":[],"background":"SPEC OPS","mechSkills":[2,5,0,0],"licenses":[{"id":"mf_nelson","rank":2},{"id":"mf_mourning_cloak","rank":1},{"id":"mf_blackbeard","rank":2}],"skills":[{"id":"sk_get_a_hold_of_something","rank":2},{"id":"sk_stay_cool","rank":1},{"id":"sk_take_someone_out","rank":2},{"id":"sk_act_unseen_or_unheard","rank":2},{"id":"sk_get_somewhere_quickly","rank":1},{"id":"sk_investigate","rank":1}],"talents":[{"id":"t_hunter","rank":2},{"id":"t_skirmisher","rank":2},{"id":"t_duelist","rank":1},{"id":"t_vanguard","rank":1},{"id":"t_executioner","rank":1},{"id":"t_brutal","rank":1}],"core_bonuses":["cb_auto_stabilizing_hardpoints"],"loadout":{"id":"b4b18091-3981-448c-824b-d2c6387a60d7","name":"Primary","armor":[{"id":"pg_stealth_hardsuit","destroyed":false,"uses":0,"cascading":false,"flavorName":"Queen's Court Hardsuit","flavorDescription":"Customized Stealth Hardsuit given exclusively to members of the Queen's Court.
