Sasha
Full Name: Sasha Elizabeth Miles
Call-sign: ODST Star
Nickname(s): Sash, Miles
Species: Human
Homeworld: Reach, New Alexandria
Age: 21
Sex: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: Average Human weight (140 pounds)
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Ginger
Hair Style: Often in a ponytail in the field, but when not in battle or at a base, she will let her hair down.
Skin Color: Pale white.
Build: An athletic, somewhat muscular build.
Distinguishing Features: Sasha has very noticeable scars over her body and a tattoo of a star on her back.
Allegiance: UNSC, 105th Shock Troops Division.
Rank: ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), Private First Class.
Assigned Squad: Echo 'Squad.'
MOS: ODST Close-Quarters Combat.
Assignment: N/A
Basic Training: Sasha scored extremely high in combat training, close quarter combat, including that of close-quarter weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. It's also important to note she scored less-than-average in long-range weaponry tests. She can also speak Hungarian as a second language, due to growing up on Reach.
Armour: ODST CQB armour (close quarters combat armour).
Weaponry: Tactical Shotgun (older model), two Magnum's.
Other Equipment: 3 Fragmentation Grenades and a small collection of spare ammunition.
Vehicle: Due to personal requests and it being a chosen vehicle in the field, Sasha was accepted the request of a personal Mongoose from UNSC command. The Mongoose is officially used by Sasha to get across long distances through small spaces at an alarmingly quick speed in a short space of time, possibly with a passenger. In her spare time, Sasha repairs, maintains and sometimes spray-paints the Mongoose.
Assigned A.I.: N/A
Religious Belief: Atheist.
Sexual Preference: Heterosexual, though was never interested in any relationship.
Relationship Status: Single.
Personality: Sasha is...serious. Being a highly skilled and extremely focused member of an ODST team, she has a persona of a true soldier. Saying what only needs to be said, she is often silent and focused on what she needs to do, be it killing the enemy, downloading information, destroying artillery or anything of the nature. She rarely takes off her armour, even when inside safe zones, taking little to no leisure time (unless working on her Mongoose).
There is also a hidden nature about Sasha which is.. more humane. She has developed a sense of anger towards the Covenant and UNSC enemies. Because of this, her true nature was put in a mental blockade. Sasha, in reality, behind her mask of hatred and companionship is a caring, daring and sarcastic woman who will put her friends and family (if there were any left) before herself. She's also extremely sentimental, which can be seen by her ownership of a Mongoose and an older model M45 Shotgun.
Sasha's dream is to become a Spartan and avenge her family by securing victory against the Covenant and any UNSC enemies.
History: Sasha was born in 2629 in New Alexandria, Reach. Born to a normal family in the large city with three older brothers and being the only sister, she grew up having a male attitude to life, always wishing to be better than her brothers and impress her parents. Due to this behavior, she learnt how to beat her brothers at a young age in physical activity. When she went to school, Sasha was a mischievous student who failed subjects such as English and Science, being better at both Maths and Physical Education. Because of this, she failed many passive subjects, but was better at sports. Sasha represented sport groups in New Alexandria in national competitions, often winning races and other sports such as basketball and rugby. Sasha failed school, however, despite home education bought in by her parents. She continued to destroy others in sports before being recruited by a local UNSC recruitment unit at the age of 17 (in the year 2646).
In 2646, Sasha joined the UNSC army as a recruit in training. Due to her age, she couldn't join any combat or active military, so she trained for a year longer than any other normal recruit on her own wishes. She did so with the determination to make her parents proud. In 2647, Sasha was sent to Earth for further training as her personality and valor matched that of an ODST persona. Sasha said goodbye to her family on Reach who were proud of her. She was further trained as an ODST on Earth.
After years of training, Sasha met many fellow comrades on Earth and was assigned to many different squads. Her specialty was not hacking, flying or stealth- it was plain, simple and very effective. She became an expert at close-quarters combat, being highly skilled in fast-pace combat and hand-to-hand combat. She spent several years training and saw few battles after the failed attempt for a treaty in 2648. While outliving many of her pre-squad team members, Sasha, over the last four years, has been a great asset to any ODST team, effectively following orders and putting others before herself. Scars and burns now litter her body, having seen combat with both the Covenant and Promethean forces on a number of high-risk missions. Despite this, she was only promoted twice in her life- from Recruit to Private in 2647 and in 2650 to Private First Class.
Sasha, in 2650 shortly after her promotion, was assigned to Echo Squad, an elite ODST squad of five members who were tasked with a mission on the planet Harvest, dropping on the planet to take out a mass Covenant ship which was armed and ready to heavily endanger the residents of Harvest. While the mission was a success and a fundamental part of Sasha's service record, only two members of Echo Squad survived- Sasha herself and Almon. They still serve together today, hardened by the experience of loss and victory at the same time.
Sasha is currently an ODST in the field of combat in the war spanning across the universe, always ready for combat.

She followed Rhit, silently, knowing it wasn't play. The helmet and armour didn't sit right with Swindon.. it made conversations quite difficult to have when you have no idea what the other person's face is like, where their eyes are or if they are secretly giving you the evils. It made her uncomfortable. And Swindon was wondering if she would get armour like this- but the thought didn't sit well with her either, forced out of her mind, knowing she'd hate it if she had to wear something so bulky.
As Rhithia explained the DH-17 to Swindon, what it did, where the triggers were, the reloading parts were, Swindon herself was moving the weapon around in her small hand, gently finding where it was Rhit was talking about so she could see (and feel) it firsthand. The reloading was easy enough for her to understand- the weapon was, after all, a machine, just like a vehicle. A vehicle would require power packs and little, small cylinders to function and only be accessible in certain locations. While the blaster did have completely different functions, the means of achieving these functions were almost the same. This is how everything made sense in Swindon's mind. "Imagine using the infinite power source on the blaster" she said with a small laugh as a joke. Realization quickly hit Swindon after she said it, knowing that if a gun wouldn't stop firing, that would be amazing for the person using it... not so much for the person it's shooting at.
Then Rhit began explaining the ways in which Swindon should hold the weapon itself. She attempted to follow Rhit in her patterns, holding it firstly in one hand, standing at an angle with her hand out, holding the blaster at the wall. At first, she did this wrongly, her arm and shoulder not matching up. After quickly realizing her mistake, she followed Rhit's example and held it more properly, though it was clear holding it with one hand wasn't going to work for Swindon to start with, due to how weak Swindon physically was. Being a mechanic of speeders didn't do her any favors to be stronger... The alternative holding style, holding it with both hands and her feet forward was easier for Swindon, in which she copied, pointing the blaster directly forward and looking down the sights. Holding it like this, she watched Rhit continue her explanation- when she fired, it made Swindon jump and go pale slightly, her eyes following the red beam of light until it hit the wall, leaving a nasty black burn on the innocent hanger.
"Just shooting the wall...alright..." Swindon breathed in, turning her attention from Rhit to the blaster in both her hands right infront of her. Breathing in, she made sure she was in the right position once again, clicking with her thumb at the switch, from off to stun to... 'kill'. Looking back from herself and the blaster to the wall, she started directly forward at the black mark on the wall, pointing the weapon and it and firing without a second thought. The blaster fired, the energy zoomed through the air, slightly missing the mark Rhit made by a few inches, hitting next to it, leaving another black mark identicalnext to it, small rays of steam coming off it. While it wasn't perfect, the shot made Swindon smile. "..Close enough?"
Meanwhile. back at Swindon's old job, the mechanic's, a Toydarian flew into the building and instantly began swearing at the lack of lighting, cat food and, of course, workers. He tried calling Swindon, but then realized she didn't have any sort of device he could've contacted her on. He then tried looking around for "clues" on where she went and didn't find anything but a half-broken Speeder on the floor. Then it hit Swindon's boss. What if she had been kidnapped? Swindon wasn't the sort of person who, at least in his view, would misbehave, quit work or anything of the like. After all, the Toydarian taught Swindon everything he knew about Speeders and she understood it all better than he ever could... He contacted the Coruscant Police Force... and reported Swindon as missing.

Swindon glanced at Rhit as she came over, convinced whatever Blink said was an insult on Swindon herself- and if not, simply a joke. As Rhit mentioned Blink thinking it was best, the thought of whatever she said being an insult disappeared from Swindon's mind. She briefly glanced at Blink working then back at Rhit, admiring her armour and enjoying the fact she is starting training. In response, she simply gave a small nod, leaving Cuddles alone in that moment, who just closed his eyes, going back to sleep.
Gently, Swindon took the blaster. "..No, I haven't.." She gave out a soft sigh. "I thought I could go my entire life without holding one of these for combat.. Well, I also thought I'd never get off Coruscant." Holding the blaster with both hands, she playfully tested holding strategies, one moment holding it in both hands by her head, pointed upwards as if some sort of spy... the next moment, she was holding it in one hand, pointed outwards as if some criminal making a holdup. The most comfortable position for her was holding it with both hands, pointed outwards. Blinking, Swindon turned to Rhit, realizing how much of an idiot she must have looked like just then. "Sorry" she said with a weak smile, secretly not sorry at all. Not everyday you get to hold a blaster, after all.
"I used to .. Back when I was in my late childhood... play laser fighting with my friends. No harmful lasers, of course, but fake weaponry that you shoot one another with to get points. Never did get high scores because the laser rifle was big and clunky.." The memory gave Swindon a small smile- it wasn't a good memory because he smile from before seemed to have weakened. Her smile quickly regained itself when Swindon glanced at Rhit, holding the blaster pointed downwards, awkwardly.

Swindon caught the credits, blinking before hesitating. She looked at Rhit with an unsure gaze, expecting a confused gaze in response, then turned back to Blink who she hoped still was looking at her. If Swindon was anything, she was spontaneous. "Blink, right?" She walked over to Blink and placed the Credits back gently next to her. "..Put it towards bribes" she said with a smile and a small laugh. The whole situation was overwhelming to her- and as she deals with fear behind a smile, she dealt with the situation as a game. Another thought she was tempted to ask them was if they wanted anything done with the ship, but as Blink's attitude suggested, Swindon just needed to wait- being told what to do when she is told. Just like her bar-maiden job all over again..
Having been told that she needs to wait, Swindon made her way back over to her bag, giving a cheerful sigh at the look of Cuddles just sleeping in her bag. The cat gave Swindon a glance, having sensed her presence coming towards him. Smiling, the overcheeful mechanic stroked the cat. "It's alright, boy... we're going away for a while, alright?" Ignoring the two's presence for the moment, Swindon focused all her attention on her cat as if it was a scared family member. "I won't leave you...I promise."
She fell quiet after that, sitting up on the table, stroking the cat silently, waiting for her next instruction or to simply leave. They hadn't asked her to pack- that not that Swindon had anything much to pack- the risk of getting caught also high- she simply sat waiting..

Noting everyone's sudden loyal gestures, upset faces, the voices seriousness and superiority (which reminded Swindon of her old boss at her old job) and Swindon even took into consideration Blink's sourness about getting beaten at.. sparring. That last word didn't mean a lot to Swindon. As they spoke, she stayed extremely silent, awaiting a moment to speak which never came. A little relief came to her when she heard Heirophant state she didn't care what Swindon was beforehand- most would have expert backstories, full of tragedy or adventure. Instead, her own was actually rather simple and unimpressive (in her own view), so she is glad she doesn't need to explain any of it.
"I've never been off planet before.." Swindon said, almost dreamily. "I don't know who any of these factions are nor where they are... but I look forward to finding out." And that was that. There was something about Swindon which screamed disciplined. While not from any military or anything of the like, she didn't speak a lot. Maybe it was out of fear of saying something wrong, her over cheerful nature getting the better of her... or perhaps it was simply Swindon's mind telling her not to speak out of politeness. Whatever it was, she was finding herself comfortable surrounded by bounty hunters, despite the fact she wasn't a criminal (until very recently) herself.
Looking at the screens and then back down at Blink, blinking, Swindon said softly, as if directing the question to Blink to get on better terms: "When do we leave?" It wasn't like she had much to leave behind on Coruscant. Cuddles was sleeping in her bag with lots of cat food tins, alongside that glowing box - inside a box - which creates it's own energy.
( Sorry that my posts are short and yours are long! I feel really bad that you spend a while posting long posts and I do short ones xD )

Swindon watched in amazement as Rhit began storing the box in... another box. What a brilliant idea! ...Then she explained why. This didn't seem to click to Swindon's mind, whose idea of 'danger' is almost the same as 'fun' and 'adventure'. Trying to explain to Swindon that something shouldn't be touched meant that she began touching it. She was curious like that- which is how Cuddles came into her life, after all. "...Energy output? Oh that'll be easy!" she said happily, not minding the panic between Rhit and Blink. "If I had time, I would do it right now! I've bought the tools with me, and a kitchen glove, so I can use it to stop the energy fro.... never mind, I'll just... I k-know how to do it, but I can't... really... explain it very well..." Was Swindon clever? To some degree. Was she mad? To some. Did she know what she was doing? Well she made the box, didn't she? Out of Speeder parts, too!
Cuddles got tired of watching people put boxes inside boxes, going back into the bag and curling up into a ginger, fluffy ball.
"No questions!" she said happily, blinking all of a sudden. "...Or rather, one- whose the boss?"

"We-Well neither a-am I!" Swindon said enthusiastically, happily. "The idea came to me when I was repairing Homicide's Speederbike, before he returned with a Power Pack for me to install, I began taking apart my own speeder to repair his, y-you see..." This led to her hesitating before continuing, wishing she didn't just admit she broke her own speeder for another. "..I..Made the cube with Diatium you see... a common metal usually used for normal power cells, right? Then I created, using an old power cell, the Core of the box which is entirely electromagnetic- you can't really.. move it. Those components you just moved- made from old speeder parts- merely contain the electricity... uhm... You might want to put that back before it does something we don't want it to.... and then I started making the electromagnetic waves protect plasma energy, only a small amount so it won't hurt us! A-And then I... made that red glow you see happen, the lines of electricity... as it moves around the cube... glow because it makes more electronic .. things... atoms, maybe? ..Going around the diatium cube which contains the energy. That's why the energy inside it isn't overheating or overcharging, unless connected to an energy source, like my garage!..."
After all that, Swindon gazed at Cuddles, the ginger and rather happy cat for a moment. The cat stared back, seemingly uninterested in what everyone was doing and just wanted to be worshiped in the new environment. The little hamster in Swindon's mind stopped and she looked back at Rhit. "...I don't know where it all came from- I just had the idea and made it!" Cuddles nodded in agreement- or at least Swindon thought he nodded, but in reality, it was just an itch.
The electromagnetic, plasma-cored and somewhat atomic quantum-like cube glowed with red energy, slightly brighter than before as new energy formed within it every moment it spun. Perhaps removing the diatium shielding wasn't such a good idea... otherwise the energy would just continue to rise without restriction- as Swindon explained, this could be very dangerous!

Swindon followed her, quietly, observing everything as Rhit explained and introduced everything. The holoscreens amazed Swindon on the basis that they were holoscreens- not because of what was on them. The holomap caught her bright teal eyes in particular. She's never seen a holomap before! And despite Blink's lack of interest in the introduction and his own interest, it didn't stop Swindon from giving a small wave in his direction anyway. The weapons and armour didn't really interest Swindon, however, due to the fact they are items she will not / cannot be able to use. Not that she actually knew what did what- that was left to her imagination, which despite being vast, normally wasn't destructive. She hadn't a clue what the energy shield was, but certainly knew the repair pieces... The explosives were easy to explain in Swindon's mind, though. If they ever got caught or compromised, the explosives could easily destroy any evidence of... well, that led to more imagination. Other assassin groups?
"There are only three in this group?" Swindon blinked, looking around once again at the holo equipment. "That's -" She turned back to Rhit. "-Really cool!" And there it was again- her smile in the face of danger. "I would really like the interview... I've... Not got much of a life to leave behind."
Slowly, the hamster in Swindon's mind began spinning again. "But the detective caught ... Homicide's speederbike and armour on one of those holo-things... Surely this means you can't go out and do your work if the police force know a Mandalorian killed the Senator?" As she said this, she put her bag down gently on a clear table space, pausing before looking at Rhit. "I hope you don't have an allergy to cats." And with that, she opened the bag. Inside, Cuddles awoke, gazing up at the new light, standing and streching, climbing out the bag and sitting down, as trained, gazing at the new surroundings. After getting out, Swindon reached in and took the cube, the insides glowing red as ever. "..This is the ... cube." Cuddles sniffed the cube, giving a cheerful purr. "It overcharged the mechanics... I haven't made a controlled energy output... so p-please don't plug it in to anything that you need, otherwise it might heat up and break... But the cube itself was made to produce it's own energy when left alone."
"Well." Swindon hesitated. "That's what I made it to do, anyway.."

Swindon... Loves Speeders. Staying still while the Mandalorian rode was easy enough for her as she had plenty of practice during her childhood. It was the easiest and cheapest way to get around Coruscant, after all. But this Speeder, in particular, was extremely different from Swindon's knowledge. It felt different. She knew what Speeders felt like and this one seemed like a tank compared to what Swindon was actually used to. Cuddles certainly hated it either way and curled up inside the bag.
"I don't have any questions" Swindon said softly, happily to the Mandalorian as he flew. And that was her only response- if she needed to know something, people would tell her. That's what she learnt from working in a bar, at least- not that this can compare in any shape or form...
As he entered the lower districts, Swindon became very wary, watching around them, glancing from side to side, keeping an eye out for danger. She had never been this low into the city before (not that she had been many places) and it certainly caused her some degree of distress to see how the stereotypes were true. Nothing can explain the embarrassing moment as she was forced to avert her eyes from the passing strip clubs- to counter this, she took a greater interest in the gun shops, just trying to find a home for her gaze.
When they arrived, Swindon got off almost instantly, blinking. Her eyes widened at the ship, but after a brief moment of fear, she seemed more eager to smile. Perhaps it was just natural for Swindon to smile instead of worrying? Hiding emotions behind a smile is a curse and a blessing, after all. Following the Mandalorian, she still seemed wary, looking side to side- then instantly giving the newcomer her full attention, saying nothing as they spoke until "homicide", which Swindon guessed was a codename, began walking away. "I don't mind. He seems kind enough to not hurt me."
"Mhm!" the inventor acknowledged with a warm smile. "It's.. Nice to meet you too, Rhit." As she spoke, Swindon's bag rustled slightly. She quickly realized that her facade of a smile might not make a good first impression, so she followed her interaction with: "I'm s-sorry if I seem.. hesitant. This is very overwhelming. I'm not used to this...I'm not used to anything apart from fixing ships and speeders." Swindon's own movements, despite her slim frame, were actually slow. This was because Swindon was trying not to shake or panic- thinking about her movements before she does them. Her bright teal eyes gazed around the hanger momentarily, seeing if there was anything unique about it- or if anything stood out, like parts, power packs, tools or objects that Swindon wouldn't understand.

Swindon was rather upset at first about the whole idea of all the lights being broken due to her failure of an experimental object- which, if asked, she would never say those words because it sounded too intelligent. Turning, she winced at the lights as the doors opened, gazing at the Mandalorian on the bike with an uncertain gaze, unsure what to think. When watching him, she looked briefly at her glowing box, then back at the Mandalorian as he offered her the chance to jump on. "O-One moment!" she said softly, rushing towards the tool area, grabbing a small bag, putting the box inside and a few tools. Cuddles purred at Swindon, forcing her to smile. She tapped the bag gently and the ginger cat slowly slid into the bag, appearing out of the top, looking around, rather comfortable and content with being inside the bag. For good measure, Swindon also packed a few cans of cat food before wrapping the bag around herself. Slowly, Swindon approached the Speederbike and the Mandalorian.
"Alright.." Swindon breathed out. "No ruse!" she guaranteed, putting her feet around the Speederbike and sitting on the back, Cuddles looking around from atop of the bag. Gently, and certainly only for the measure of safety, she placed her hands on the Mandalorian's metal hips, closing her eyes. "..I hope what you said is true... and, uhm... I wouldn't be able to afford a cab!" Her tone was quite joyful, despite the situation. Internally, she was lightheaded and really didn't know what she was about to get herself into- or rather, what she was going to get out of all this. Not like she had much to lose.
"So... you... were watching me?.." Swindon asked from behind, getting comfortable. "I told you it wouldn't be very entertaining..."

Extremely worried internally, Swindon attempted to keep a brave face, oddly comforted by the Mandalorian's calmness. Her bright teal eyes watched him as he spoke and walked over to the box- every inch of Swindon's senses told her this was beginning to become a bad idea...yet she kept her brave face on and walked over to the cube with him. This was, indeed, where her future was going to be decided- because after lying to that officer, this was the point of no return.
"I don't know why it became purple" she admitted, giving a soft shrug and she knelt down next to the box, Cuddles wobbling over with his paws to see what was going on. "All I did was repair the control panel and connect it to the rest of the bike so you'll be able to r-ride it properly.. the .. light just came on. I don't know how to go into bike settings to change it. Sorry..." Swindon frowned a bit. "I'm good at repairing and making, not... tapping at technology. I've never owned anything that expensive before." As she explained this, shamelessly, she picked up the cube, pulsing red in her hand.
Alright Swindon, the panicked mechanic thought. Lets see if this works. She walked over to a panel on the side of the wall, a rather large metal box that could be mistaken as a keybox or just another storage compartment. When Swindon opened the hatch and pulled the metallic door off, inside was a lot of wires connected to a power pack. As Swindon turned it off, the power pack cut off from the wires and the entire building went dark- the lights went out, the outside lights went off and something whirring over in the tool cabinets stopped and went silent. Unable to see, all they heard next was a rather startled "mrrrow" as Cuddles didn't like the dark at all. Lifting up the cube, the red lights illuminated in the darkness, showing nothing but itself and Swindon's face. "Here we go" she said outloud before putting the small box in the place of the power pack, connecting all the wires, little sparks forming as she did this. Suddenly the building lit up again, normally. Swindon turned to the Mandalorian with a proud, overhappy smile. "It works!" she said, having expected it not to, stating the obvious. Sadly, this victory was short lived. The lights began to get brighter, the outside lights began to spark and that whirring from the tool cabinets began to become louder and distorted in a matter of seconds- then everything went black again with a soft power-surge noise, bzzzzt. "oh.." Swindon said softly in the darkness. Red lights beamed and pulsed from the box... the device itself, the box, was perfectly fine- but the rest of the building had just overloaded with energy- the lights exploded, the whirring stopped and the lights outside just sparked and stopped working.
"I.." Swindon hesitated. "..Didn't put a restraint on how much energy it outputs.. I... I didn't expect it to have so much energy within it that it must have created overnight..." The silhouette took the cube from out of the box and looked around in the darkness, a bit upset that she just ruined everything electrical inside the building. She couldn't see the Mandalorian as she said this, gazing out into the abyss.

She laughed softly as he said his son loved the museum. "Small world, eh?" To Sweden, she couldn't believe she pulled it off. As he left, she waved happily, only to turn around, pale and startled by the sudden Mandalorian appearing out of nowhere. Internally, she was panicked that he was there- if she messed up, the Mandalorian could've killed her and the officer, leaving no witnesses and a repaired bike. Swindon was well aware of the danger- and her legs trembled at the feeling of realization.
"I- I don't know a thing about what the Galactic Empire did and didn't use!" she said in a mix emotion of panic, joy of victory and fear of what is to come. "I've lived on this planet all my life and I've been too poor to ever enter that Museum!" Well, that last part she really didn't need to say. Swindon looked ashamed at the masked villain that she even said such a thing. He then asked- the ultimate question. Why. Why did she do it. The thoughts from before rushed through her mind, but they were all outdated now- since the question was asked out loud, things seemed different from what she thought and what was reality. "B-Because..." Swindon hesitated. "Because ... you were there." It was a gamble. In fact, the whole situation was a gamble, but now Swindon was about to fold. This was the gamble of gambles. "You offered me a job opportunity. I'm taking it. And you know that, I didn'-didn't need to answer for you to know that!"
Swindon gazed at the bike and then back at the Mandalorian. "I've repaired it.. A-As promised. So..."
"...Now what?"
The question that will now decide the fate of Swindon's life. In the name of.... Opportunity.
