Character History

Early Life

"Dark Days lead to Darker Nights" Born to Talitha & Tayrnon Winters, Oriana spent the first 3 years of her life living with her parents as an only child at the family estate in Nailah. Her father was a simple man that had made his fortune in the exportation of Minerals and Metals to other parts of the system. Her mother was the eldest daughter of a village chieftain, and much like her husband came from humble beginnings. Shortly after Oriana’s 3rd birthday, her father's business went into administration and difficult times came to rest upon the Winters’ household.

During these darkening days, Oriana's mother became increasingly depressed and often shunned her daughter, while her father took to heavy drinking and began abusing both mother and daughter. Talitha would suffer under the constant onslaught of domestic violence and verbal abuse, though it was Oriana that sustained more damage than her mother even realized. Night after night, following session after session of heavy drinking, Tayrnon would slip into his daughter’s room and subject her to hours of physical and sexual abuse, - though he’d never leave a mark on a part of her body that could be seen, such as her lower legs and arms – while his wife, his daughter’s mother, would sleep soundly in the room next door. Talitha was oblivious to her daughter’s abuse and soon fled the family home in search of a better life, leaving Oriana with her father.

Two months after her mother had left, Tayrnon was officially declared bankrupt and went into hiding after learning that several people he owed money to, had put out a contract for his life. Thinking of himself rather than his daughter, he left the house in the middle of the night, and was not seen again for several years.

"Reduced to Ashes" In the weeks and months that followed her father’s disappearance, Oriana had been adopted by Inari & Valentin Alexiou, and resided with them and their daughter, Deianira, just outside the city of Marika, approximately 35 km from her former home at Nailah. For many years, the family lived happily, though Oriana constantly struggled with nightmares and flash-backs of the nights spent with her father. Inari & Valentin were much like her biological mother, oblivious to what she had been though at such a young age and at the hands of her father.

Oriana's adolescence was troubled to say the least. She wasn’t one to talk about her deeper feelings, instead, she’d keep them bottled up inside until she was ready to blow. She’d lay awake at night and wonder where her parents were, wonder if they missed her and still loved her. Every so often she’d sneak out in the middle of the night and return to Nailah. For hours she’d sit in the overgrown gardens, watching as the house fell further and further into disrepair. When she was alone, she would swear she could hear her mother’s laughter sounding from the rotting timber structure, though the sounds would almost certainly fade to screams followed by sobs. Each night, when she arrived home, she'd lay awake in bed, as the silence became deafening to her.

Aged just 14, she lost her adoptive parents in an explosion caused by a rebel attack. There had been much unrest in and around Marika at the time, and the violence had spilled out of the city and into her home. She watched on in horror, though frozen in fear, as her younger sister was dragged from the house and beaten, slung into the back of a transporter and taken from her side. She watched as the bodies of Inari and Valentin, - the two people she had trusted enough to call “Mom & Dad” - turned to ash as the remains of the house burned well into the night. Once again, she was left alone, rejected, even by the raiders that had stormed the house, “Too old to be of any use to anyone”, they said before they disappeared into the darkness.

"The Violation of Revenge" During the previous two years, Oriana found herself consumed by hate, anger, self loathing and the overwhelming urge for revenge. Her desire to avenge her parent’s deaths, spurred her on to learn all sorts of martial arts styles, as well as weapons training, though she knew she’d have to be patient. The raiders were no fools and she realized that. As a result of the intelligence she had gathered, she set about putting her plan in motion, working with the Team rather than against them, though the notion sickened her to her stomach

Over the course of two, long years, Oriana had traced the raiding party that had killed her parents and taken her sister into slavery. Aged just 16, she left her home world and traveled to Kardeddion, in the Senex Sector of the Mid Rim, in order to bring them to justice. At the time, Kardeddion was known for its extensive breeding program of slaves and workers of all species, and was ruled by the decedents of the House Vandron, - Oriana was sure that her sister was being held there.

As time drew on, Oriana successfully worked her way into the team, providing intelligence for precisely targeted raids and assisting in the capture and subsequent interrogation of prisoners. Her apparent “devotion” to her job, caught the eye of the group’s leader, Ziven Vencel, and in the space of 18 months she found herself firmly within his favor.

Soon she was sent as part of a special envoy, to Bresnan, in the Wellte-ir system of the Trax Sector. It was here that she planned to take her revenge against Vencel and his Men. Shortly before 0400 hours, She crept into Vencel’s room, and held a blade to his neck, though he was not as asleep as she thought. He woke, and his men awoke with him, their blasters all pointed at Oriana as she sat on Vencel’s chest all of them poised, ready to attack. As punishment for her Crimes, Oriana was beaten almost half to death by Vencel, then left to the mercy of his men. For hours, all but one of them men violated her repeatedly while Vencel watched on, a look of satisfaction plastered across his twisted features.

Before sunrise, the group, minus Oriana, left Bresnan and returned to Kardeddion.
