Biography
The Inception
Christine's less than scrupulous lifestyle and occupation. |
Alea iacta est
The dice have been cast.
Cael was the alias of a serial rapist who resided in the Coruscant Underworld. By obtaining political favors through his work as an assassin, Cael was at liberty to engross in his savage lust freely. The number of rapes committed by Cael is uncountable, but experts have estimated it to be in the hundreds. Phoebe's mother, Christine, was one of the many victims of Cael.
Disowned by her impoverished family and left to rot among the dregs of society, Christine was left to fend for herself. Resorting to prostitution and theft, Christine endured the cruel lashes of poverty, shame, and crime for several months in order to protect her child. A little less than two months earlier than expected, Phoebe was born prematurely in the back alley of the bar Christine had worked. With only a few expired death sticks, a dull knife, and dirty rags that she stole from the bar, Christine was on the verge of death when she gave birth to Phoebe. Before she could gain the strength to secretly abandon Christine at a nearby hospital, they were abducted by Trandoshan slavers.
Begging for the slavers to spare her child, Christine vainly cried for a shred of mercy. However, her cries were received as an annoyance and the Trandoshan slavers tortured Christine for entertainment in response. Already weak from childbirth, Christine succumbed to her injuries and presumably died in a matter of a few hours. Only hired to bring Phoebe alive, the Trandoshan slavers threw the corpse of Christine into the streets and sedated Phoebe so that she could be sold to the one and only Cael...
The Experiment
Cael's Collection of Skulls. |
- "As I slowly sink into the abysmal depths of psychosis,
- my mind crumbles and transforms into a vestige of primal savagery. "
- — Phoebe Doxa, Year -2
Phoebe was of Cael's utmost interest: not because Phoebe was his child, but a means of pursuing his own interests of achieving immortality. Despite the brutally logical and calculative nature behind Cael main occupation as an assassin, Cael dogmatically believed in the legends of the Anzati. This fanaticism was why he became a serial rapist: he believed that he obtained "Soup" when he raped women and ceremonially drank the fluid of their brains. This of course, included Christine, who joined Cael's collection of thousands skulls.
Soon after, Cael realized that the extraction of Phoebe's brain fluid would be extremely risky: as Phoebe was only an infant, her premature brain would be destroyed through the process and Cael would be unable to harvest additional samples. Therefore, Cael decided to raise Phoebe Doxa until maturity at age 12. Phoebe's life was relatively uncorrupted in her infancy, as Cael had placed Phoebe in a dilapidated foster care home in the Coruscanti Underworld. The caretakers there were kind and caring, allowing Phoebe to live relatively peacefully and happily until she turned seven. At the age of seven, the horrors of Cael's experimentation began.
For the next five years, Cael would experiment on how to increase the density of brain matter in Phoebe's skull in order to be able to harvest more brain fluid when Phoebe reached adolescence. Injecting Phoebe with strong neurological stimulants and mind-altering spices, Phoebe was driven to a deep psychosis. Phoebe sealed away her emotions in order to cope with the stress of experimentation, and soon became unresponsive to her humanity and morality. She had lost the ability to read the emotions on the faces of other sentient beings,
The Charred Psyche
Serva me, servabo te
Save me and, I will save you.
Before being able to harvest Phoebe's mind, Cael was captured at a local brothel by a sting operation conducted by the Coruscant Security Force. Insolvent and unable to bribe his political associates, Cael was found dead in his prison cell; an autopsy revealed that his all his extremities were slowly ripped off when he was alive before being left to painfully bleed out from a small incision inflicted to the stomach. Further investigations were dismissed by the Head of the Coruscant Security Force and the case disappeared from the Imperial Criminal Archives.
Phoebe, however, was left forsaken in Cael's isolated laboratory and barbarically chained to the floor. Without a constant supply of a concentrated concoction of pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs, sedatives, and Bacta, Phoebe gained greater neurological control of her mind and her body; the world was no longer a dark haze of unrecognizable shapes and sounds. However, this newly gained consciousnesses of the world had a heavy price: her brain throbbed relentlessly from scars from Cael's experiments. The pain from each incision on her cerebral surface surged and overtook her consciousness. In the small universe around her, there was only agony. Each day, she cried and screamed for a shred of mercy. But the world around her coldly refused to respond and the first thing she had felt in this newly opened world was abandonment.
Desperately hanging onto her life in hopes of finding a new world, Phoebe struggled to survive. She managed to survive for a few days, feeding off the excess human biomatter used in Cael's experiments. However, after everything consumable had been expended, Phoebe's body atrophied as the tissues of her muscles and organs slowly metabolized. All she could feel was the metallic coldness reverberate through her body as heat escaped from the durasteel floors. Phoebe would not have survived without the fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate, arrival of Cael's main human trafficker, Selene. Seeing profit to be made, Selene quickly released Phoebe, torched the building, and dragged her to the slave market...

Character Information
Equipment
Phoebe Doxa in her traditional black hitatare. She casually wields her seven-layered Quadanium Alloy Tachi Vibroblade on her shoulder. |
Clothing
Phoebe'e traditional hitatare is composed of a simple light white garment and a thicker and heavier black robe on the top. The white garment is specially made to regulate the body's temperature to comfortable levels, and help disperse kinetic energy from melee attacks to Phoebe's body. The black robe is non-flammable and special threads of quadanium alloy embedded in the fabric which prevent it from being torn or cut. Various lengths of rope and fabric are used to secure the kimono on tightly to prevent it from being grabbed or snagged. In the loose sleeves of kimono, there are several secret compartments for usually for her Fake Identification, her Tanto, her "prohibited" Havao Tabacc Cigarras, her Golden Flask of Cognac and various Anti-Security Blades.
The central belt serves as the main device of wearing and removing the hitatare . Constructed out of thread wrapped around quadanium alloy cords, the belt is used to hold various items and sheath to her Tachi. In addition, the central belt also has a thin flexible powercell strip embedded within the fabric which is connected via a few thin black wires to the sheath. Recharging the powercell pack of the Tachi Vibroblade when not in usage, the central belt's powercell ensures that Phoebe will be ready to fight at any moment.
Battle Armour
Forged out of black Quadanium Alloy, the battle armor consists of two arm guards (Kote), two greaves (Suneate), and an armorweave cuirass (Do). It is usually covered by Phoebe's loose hitatare, diverting the suspicion of others at first glance.
Favoring flexibility and mobility, the armorweave cuirass provides limited protection for the user and is only capable of absorbing kinetic energy from projectile weapons and non-projectile weapons. The thin Quandanium Alloy top-layer will partially reflect blaster shots, preventing the blaster shots from hitting vital organs. This gives Phoebe an optimal survival chance if medical treatment is applied. This makes Phoebe extremely prone to long-ranged attacks, however, Phoebe utilizes her speed and agility to either close in on the enemy or avoid the fight altogether.
Unlike the cuirass, he arm guards and greaves of the battle armor are heavily reinforced, allowing Phoebe to parry or deflect nearly all kinetic and energy attacks. Phoebe utilizes this her advantage, diversifying her already unique fighting style by incorporating both defensive martial arts moves with her superb swordsmanship.
Seven-Layered Quadanium Alloy Tachi Vibroblade
The blade was constructed by forging together seven different layers of quadanium alloy into a uniform single blade. The combination of seven different alloys makes the vibroblade significantly sharper, more durable, and surprisingly lighter than other blades. The blade has a slight curvature to the blade, making it ideal for quick, albeit shallower slashes. Although the blade itself can only penetrate primitive armors, the vibrational aspect enables the weapon to cut through most matter with ease.
Trinkets
Classic Lighter
A classic, rectangular lighter from the Dark Ages, a time where modern technology was scarce. The lighter seems well polished and clean, but the faded gold color gives away its age. Although the lighter seems well kept, the word "Doxa" is scratched crudely on the face of the lighter. Modified by Phoebe to be fueled by a minuscule tibanna gas cartridge, it emits an unusually bright red flame.
Pack of Havao Tabacc Cigarras
One of Phoebe's "bad habits," this light narcotic serves as a mild depressant to ease her the pain of her grim past. The havao tabacc was grown and harvested from the surface of Korriban and emit a bright red glow, due to high carbon content. You can often see her lighting up a cigarra during her frequent episodes of pain and anxiety or before a Naval Operation. She tells her Recruits that they are supposedly the secret to Phoebe's subpar piloting skills.
Golden Flask
Another classic item from the Dark Ages. The Golden Flask has almost the same appearance as the Classic Lighter: it is well polished and clean, but the faded gold color gives away its age. In addition, the word "Doxa" is carved crudely on the face of the flask, just like the lighter. Filled to the brim with pitch black cognac, which has an alcohol content of 75% Alcohol by Volume, the flask is another one of Phoebe's "Bad habits." The Golden Flask was also once filled with Rancor Blood at some point.
