Personality
Likes: Please list at least five (5)
- Vipers - Every pilot likes their Viper
- Danger and taking risks - It helps her feel like she is still alive
- Drinking - A good stiff drink helps her take the edge off from time to time.
- Boxing or sparing - It is something she has developed as a like at an older age. She has a lot of pent up rage to deal with
- Scorpia - Its the party planet, a place you can get away and forget your troubles. When you are as troubled as Tatiana it is always a good thing.
- Venal Break - Again who doesn't love a good drunken party.
- Tight Space - there is something about being in a small confined space that is comforting to her.
Dislikes: Please list at least five (5)
- Cherries - family land made her hate them, because of her father.
- Canceron - again do to her father being there she has no desier to go back
- Open space - Being in an open and exposed place is really hard for Tatiana and she just hates it.
- Wilderness, Farms, outdoors - There is not a thing about outside that she likes. No for her the perfect place is
- Smoking - Tatiana can't remember a time that she didn't see her father with out a cigarette or cigar in between his lips.
- Waiting - Tatiana has never been a patient person and the thought of waiting is enough to make her blood boil.
Fears: Please list at least one (1)
- Her father - This is her number one fear, she can not stand the man and is afraid to ever see him again.
- being weak and worthless - Tatiana spent her youth being worthless and weak but when she found the Colonial Navy as her outlet she has not felt that way but fears every day she will end up failing.
- Being alone - Tatiana is so afraid of being alone that she freezes up when she is. It has at time left her nearly unable to breath she was so scared when she was alone. She has not spent a life in her life with out someone else with her be in her siblings, her parents, her bunk mates, or just some random man she found for the night. The thought has crossed her mind of being out there alone in her viper with no one around and it has brought her to tears before.
Strengths:
- Fearless - If one didn't know better they would think that Tatina was completely fearless and on the surface it is true. She will almost never show fear in the face of danger. Though it is less about fear and value of self then anything.
- Empathy - Tatiana has had a rough up bringing and through that rough upbringing she has learned to be empathetic even if others have trouble seeing it though her many barriers.
- Stamina - She might be small in stature at only 5' 10" and 138 Lbs but many people see her as being built like a tank. When she does boxes, spars, fights with other she refuses to go down with out being knocked out. One that has grown up like she has, has a tenancy to be more resilient to that kind of thing.
Weaknesses:
- Walled off - Tatiana is more then willing to help out others but her personal life is walled off from nearly everyone. She will deny she has any issues even when her issue is right there in her face. As far as others are concerned she is always fine.
- Faithfulness - Tatiana does not like the idea of not being unfaithful but some times other needs come first. If it is being faithful or being alone that she has to pick between then she just is unable to stop herself if that is what is needed to not be alone.
- Emotionally stunted - Tatiana's emotional growth stopped at a young age and never has been foster or given a chance to not be stunted since.
- Poor Choices - not every choice she has made in her life has been a bad one but the gods would have a hard time remembering the last time she made a good one.
Aspirations: For the most part Tatiana would seem like she has little to no aspirations in her life. If you were to ask her even she would most likely say something about 'not getting myself killed to young'. If she were to sit down in ernest and think it over. Than on top of that be honest enough to tell you it would be to learn to get over her past, find a happy life for herself and stop being so frakked up. Part of her would just aspire to be open enough to admit that is what she wanted.
General Personality: Tatiana personality, Gods that is a mess. She is all over the place. She is extremely nice to those she likes so much so that she will do anything for them rules or not almost to a fault. Then again if you end up on her bad side you are in for a world of devious demon like torture.
Those who are close with Tatiana, (which by the way is not to incredibly common) know she is a sweet young woman. She is passionate and caring toward those close friends with a fire deep in her soul. She will give her life for them with out a seconds hesitation.
Tatiana does not handle being along well at all. In fact she has never spent a night with out someone else in the same room as her her entire life. Those nights where she found herself in an empty room she will find any man willing to come back to her room with her despite her relationship with Row. She is wildly sexual in situations like this if it will keep her from having to spend a moment alone.
When she is on duty she come off as fearless and verging on the side of reckless. She will push herself to the limits and always come off as if she ha something to prove. That of course is true in her mind as well. She is always fighting to prove herself as the next best thing.
The Backstory
History: A older Captain walks over to the table with a full squad of pilots siting at it and sits down sliding shot glasses around to each and everyone then passing the bottle around for everyone to fill their glass. One of the men in the group stood up and raised his grass "This ones for you Cap or should I say sonn to be Major Lescius Row"
Another of the men laughed. "Wait are we drinking to the coming promotion or the frakken sweet little thing he was working over last night?" The whole crowd of pilots laughed. Everyone in the hotel probably heard what the captain was doing last night.
"Frak you stix." The captain replied to the joke. Not that he wasn't amused by it. No he wasn't shy at all about his sexual exploits.
"Come on Cap, tell us who she is we all saw her in the lobby with you and, hades were all on the same floor we could all hear what was going on. Who is she?" The whole table quieted down as he asked the question of the hour. The whole group had been talking about it this morning and had been waiting all day for the story.
"Alight hand me the bottle first." The bottle quickly went from hand to hand till it was in Row's hand. he poured himself another shot as they waited silently for the story. Row was known for having the dirt on everyone he messed around with. "Have you ever met one of those people who are just really messed up. I don't mean boohoo I need a therapist type.." He began to gesture with his hands spreading them out wide. "I mean frakked up beyond repair. Just a complete mess, well that would be Tatiana." He again poured himself a shot as they all listend to him for more detail.
"Aww, Cap you can't leave it at that. Like how mess up we talking about." The group began to whisper among themselves. "Hey nothing wrong with frakked up Cap. All the good lays are."
"Well then she is the best." Row said with a deep bellowing laugh. "Fine, you want a sad tale of woo well this girl has one. Frak I mean she has laid it all out to me, but hey I never said she was smart right. So she was born I think she said in 1977, so what like twenty-six I think." Row said it with a smile like it was some sort of badge of honor to have pulled the young lady in to his bed when she is thirteen years his junior. The whole thing had been off and on for almost ten years now.
"So get this her father, he was one hell of a bastard, hell even worse than I am. Hard to believe I know but they are out there."
-----------------------------------
As he spoke to them down in the lounge about it all Tatiana was just waking up in his room. She was on leave while the Hyperion was in port and had come to Tauron where the Battlestar Night Fight was currently waiting for its departure date to the war games as well. She got up out of the bed with nothing more then a a thong that was barely enough to be noticeable looked around the room for Row. "Lescius?... Lescius" She called out as she walked around the room. She looked out the window on to the balcony and then down at the streets below but there was no sign of him. Not that she expected him to wait for her. She had drank so much the night before she was surprised herself she even woke up.
Tatiana grabbed the sheet off the bed and wrapped it around herself and opened the front door to the room. "Lescius?" She called out again, still no reply. With that it was back in to the room and time to get dressed and head down to find him.
-----------------------------------
"She was like the fifth child and her father just snapped I guess with her. Hades if I had five kids, especially with someone like her I would frakken snap too. He was one of those wife and child beating type. She mentioned remembering him starting in on her when she was like five. One hades of a winner right." He passed to bottle around to the group so they could all get a second shot before he drank it all himself.
"No wonder she is frakked up Cap." One of the Ensigns in the group chimed in. Everyone in the group was completely enthralled in the story they were being told. That on top of the fact that the lounge was devoid of people left it quiet enough to hear a pen drop when Row was not speaking.
"You haven't heard nothing yet. They lived out on this cherry farm and her mother home schooled her right, all of the kids actually so this sick frak of a father was able to get away with it all." Row seemed almost as if he was taking pleasure in the whole thing as he spoke about the young pilot to his squad.
-----------------------------------
Tatiana had gotten herself dressed in the same outfit she had worn up to his room the night before. It was all she had brought in with her actually other then her uniform she came in wearing. She hadn't worried about fixing her hair or makeup that was a dead give away of how her night had gone. After that she rushed down the hall bare foot to the elevator, tapping her foot the whole time she waited to get down to the lobby. She walked around for awhile trying to find him. After only a moment she spotted him in the lounge, not to odd for either of them really. Instead of going in she looked over to him and smiled, His back was turned and to each side of him along the table was a column of pilots listing to him.
Taitana walked up to the entrance to the lounge and listened for a while as he spoke to them. "You haven't heard nothing yet. They lived out on this cherry farm and her mother home schooled her right, all of the kids actually so this sick frak of a father was able to get away with it all."
Those words rang out in her head as she drifted back to that time in her life, something she never wanted to remember. It was a time in her life she had tried to forget so many times. If it wasn't for Row she would likely still be there with her father. It all came back so clearly to her. She would upset her father and it started off simple. They were out in the cherry orchard one day, she was only five and she had grabbed the keys to the tractor and lost them somewhere out there. Her father had pilled a switch off the branch of one of the trees and swung it at her till she was laying there crying.
As the years went by it got worse and worse. He started yelling at her any time she had a mistake.. at anything. When he would get pissed off enough he would take her out to the cherry orchard and beat her black and blue, her more so then any of her siblings. When she hit thirteen it changed again. He would tell her she was becoming a fine young girl but she needed to learn how to be a woman. That is when he began to sexually assault her. She could remember trying to forget, trying to distract herself but all that was around was those Gods damned cherry trees that he beat her with.
It was odd really those very trees that he had abused her with for years had become the only thing she could focus on when it happened. With spring starting the trees were covered in cherry blossoms. In all that misery and unhappiness there was at least one thing of beauty to draw her off of what was happening.
Months passed and it became more and more frequent, finally the cherry blossoms feel from the trees and Tatiana was left with nothing but pain to focus on. Her father, what he was doing to her, the cherry branches, and that fraking cigarette he was always smoking. He had more then once put one out on her side or her back. She could remember wanting to kill him before but by the time her fourteenth birthday came around she had given up on that thought.
She had accepted what was happening as just part of her life. The way things were and it wasn't meant to be changed. There were things in life one just didn't understand she had thought back then. That was one of those things she was meant to understand when she was older like she is now. It wasn't till just after her sixteenth birthday that she finally started to change her thoughts, that of course was because of a man named Lescius Row.
Finally she slipped back in to reality as Row was talking to his men. "Yeah I met her back when she was sixteen i think even back then she had a thing for me. Hades I think she joined the service because of me. I remember her calling me when she was in her junior year in the academy asking me to come talk to her about who the frak knows what. Really she just wanted a chance to get her hands on me after all those year."
For a second Tatiana's Face showed how upset she was by his comment. It wasn't at all how she remembered it, things had started long before that with them. When they had first met she was fawning all over him. She wanted the attention of anyone that was willing to give it to her.
For the first few weeks of them knowing each other they spent their time talking, mainly about the Colonial Navy and what it was like to be a viper pilot. It was all she could talk about. The idea of being free and able to do whatever she wanted. She was sold on the idea. Finally a day came where she had a chance to get away her father was off the farm and way for a few days to buy new equipment for the farm and she was free to get away. She climbed out her window and met up with Row. The two of them went down to the near by airfield where his squad had landed he shower her his viper. Let her sit in it and feel what it was like to be behind so much power. Having been powerless all her life it was a wonderful feeling for someone like her. All the while Row had been feeding her shot after shot until she was barely able to stand anymore. Now only eight months from seventeen she found herself in love with someone and shared with him what had been taken from her so many times by her father.
The time Row was talking about was much later in her life. over the next two years before she was eighteen the two would see each other maybe four more times when Row was able to make it to Canceron. Every time with more and more passion at least from her perspective. She had met the man she was meant to be with. And the day she graduated high school only shortly after her eighteenth birthday she met up with him once more to leave for the Academy on Picon where Row was from.
If nothing else good had come from her father it was the fact that she was not allowed to fail and in the academy fail she did not. When Row was not there taking up her time she was focused in on the books, or getting a new tattoo. Every one of the tattoos being a cherry branch full of cherry blossoms to remind her of where she had come and where she wanted to go.
in her Junior year she had hear Row was being transferred to the Battlestar Night Fight and when he was in transit to there she had made arrangements for him to stop and see her. he was to be taking over his own squad and she wanted in on it. She wanted to be there so she could finally be with him for good.
-----------------------------------
While she was in her own world thinking of the past Row was still going on about his whole twisted version of their history. "Well after she frakked me she was going on about me putting in a request to have her transferred to the Night Fight with us." the look on his face said it all. There was no way he wanted that to happen.
"Good thing that didn't happen eh Cap? Again the group laughed at the comment. They were all having a great time at her expense. it was then that Tatiana popped back in to reality once more.
"I told her I would, but I don't think there is one of you even dumb enough to make that mistake. I put in a request to have her put on the Hyperion, and with her flight record at the Aerilon Flight School they had no problem putting her on there. I will give her that she is nearly as good piloting as she is at frakking." He told them all. It was then that Tatiana began to walk over toward him. She put on her best smile as she came up and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Les, there you are." She started as she looked down at him from her standing position. She rolled herself around him and on to his lap. "I think the beds getting lonely up there, what do you say we leave them to their drinking?" She wasn't going to call him on what he had said, she wasn't going to get upset with him. She loved him and he meant well after all.
All she could think about right then was her time on the Hyperion. it hadn't been long, about three years now and she had only gone to see a little bit of action so far but there was no doubt in her mind that she had the potential to be one of the best.
Anything Else?: Part of what Row had told her about before was his time serving aboard the Triton (though in a different squad) with a legend of a man named Sidney Bainbridge. The stories of this man are a large part of what made her join. Row had taken credit for many of Sidney's actions. Though eventually she did find out that it was Sidney and not Row It did not Change her perspective on Row and how much she cared for him.
After coming aboard the Hyperion she leaned a lot about her CAG and how amazing of a pilot and leader he was an still is. She to some extent idealizes him and might even have a slight child like crush on him.
