Orse Olo (pronounced Or-see Olo) is an information broker and professional slicer operating out of an unknown location in the The Shroud. She is deliberately introverted, keeping her personage away from any outside influences and encounters, opting to instead interact through her many and varied droids.
Character History
Early Life (12 AYB - 31 ABY)
Orse Olo, 40 ABY
Orse was born Astrad Orsen Anasaye on Kiast in 12 ABY to a wealthy, conservative, aristocratic family in high regard on the Voraskel court. Orse's father Valaro Anasaye, a Sephi descendant of the Vatali Empire's founder by blood, fell in love with Orse's mother, an Umbaran Quorahi named Oryena Olo, a refugee from the many wars the Empire prosecuted across the galaxy. The two had secret affairs and meetings many times in their youth, but when it came time to solidify their union, Valaro ultimately sided with his family and tradition over love, marrying his appointed spouse mandated by the Anasaye bloodline. Even though he was merely 7th in line for the throne, blood was stronger in the Vatli Empire. His wife Leageni Etlina, 5th daughter of House Etlina, had two sons with Valaro, Orlian, and Urlan, Orse's older half-brothers.
The marriage was never meant to last. Despite what tradition and honor dictated, Leageni never had any love for her husband, and as years went on they grew more and more distant, pursuing their own affairs away from prying eyes. It was then that Valaro and Oryna reignited their passion and soon after Oreya was left pregnant with a son. Their union forced Valaro to either break the affair off and have the woman deported, out of sight and mind, or nullify his marriage and abstain from his position in the succession for the throne.
To everyone's surprise, having been forced time and again to kneel to tradition, honor, family, and blood, Valaro chose Oryena over the Empire. To his family he became an outcast, to his peers a laughing stock, but to himself he stayed true and, for the first time in his life, he felt he had truly done the right thing and would, when the time came, pass that knowledge to his sons.
Identity and Fracture
Though Valaro Anasaye publicly acknowledged Astrad as his (at the time) son, the Voraskel court did so only in the narrowest legal sense. Astrad was recorded, archived, and then quietly pushed aside as one more anomaly in a line of many. Her legal status as a bastard child helped in the matter and, though he was still considered Anasaye and part of the royal family through her father, he was considered less than. Raised in estates owned by Valaro’s remaining allies, Astrad was afforded tutors, guards, and comforts, but he was never afforded a sense of belonging. She was a political inconvenience given a silk leash, a leash that could strangle her father's career should he step out of line.
From an early age, Astrad understood two things with painful clarity: that the Vatali Empire valued pedigree, blood, and tradition above all else, and that he was already failing to reach the Empire's expectations.
Astrad was expected to embody Vatali masculinity and strength, to be disciplined, aristocratic, rigidly traditional. Every tutor corrected her posture, her voice, her interests. Every misstep was framed as weakness, deviation, or moral rot inherited from her Umbaran mother. The court physicians recorded her “nonconforming tendencies” in private reports. Astrad learned to mask before she learned to trust. But she knew who she was.
By the age of ten, Astrad confided only in her mother, Oryena, that she was not her father’s son at all. Oryena did not argue, she simply told her child that survival sometimes meant becoming invisible and that one day, Astrad would choose who she was, not the Empire.
Valaro, when told, reacted with love, but also fear. He believed Astrad’s identity would be used as a weapon against her, and against Oryena. He urged patience, secrecy and endurance. A decision that would bring them to the brink.
The Breaking Point
The truth came out anyway.
When Astrad was thirteen, a rival faction within House Anasaye leaked internal medical assessments to the Voraskel court—documents framing Astrad’s gender dysphoria as instability, corruption, and proof of Umbaran “delinquency.”
The Vatali response was swift and merciless: Oryena was labeled a subversive influence, Astrad was slated for “corrective custodianship”, a polite term for enforced isolation, indoctrination, and bodily regulation. The Vatali Empire of that time, mostly under the influence of radical Vauzemites, did not kill children like Astrad. It reshaped them until nothing recognizable remained of their true, natural identity.
That night, Valaro finally chose their fate. He liquidated what assets he could, falsified departure records, and smuggled Oryena and Astrad offworld under false identities. In doing so, he relinquished his remaining status, inheritance, and any hope of legitimacy within the Vatali bloodline. To the Vatali Empire, Astrad Orsen Anasaye officially ceased to exist.
On the transport out of Kiast, Astrad discarded her birth name and became Orse Olo, taking her mother’s name, freely chosen and never regreted.
Transition and Survival
For a number of years, until the Odanite refugees came to Kiast, life for Orse and her family was harsh and unforgiving. Life in the Outer Rim stripped Orse of luxury, certainty, and safety but it taught her autonomy. Her transition was slow, fragmented, and dangerous. Hormonal treatments were inconsistent, often black-market or experimental. Medical care came from back-alley surgeons who asked for payment in favors instead of credits.
Not a lot of Vatali law followed her everywhere. Sure, in some systems her existence was illegal, but in many others she was tolerated, even embraced. She learned to trust, at least for a while. She also learned to navigate checkpoints with forged biometrics, and how to hack a scanner to display info she wanted attached to her identity. She learned quickly, her brilliant mind sifting through data like a droid brain. She was hooked on that feeling and soon became a well known slicer in her own right.
With her status came threats, dangers and imminent peril. Her first cybernetic arm was not just the result of injury that shattered and mangled her organic beyond use, it was was a declaration. If her body could be weaponized against her, she would rebuild it herself. Her artificial eyes followed for similar reasons: Surveillance meant safety, and safety meant control.
Her parents’ relationship never once fractured under the strain. They remained in hiding for many years, until Orse was already an adult. Wracked with guilt and unable to reconcile the daughter he loved with the Empire he had once believed redeemable, Valaro simply withered away as the years grew older. Oryena though, hardened by injustice and loss, severed all remaining ties to Vatali space entirely. She would not return to Kiast until Orse was already in her thirties. Together they kept themselves and their daughter alive, through thick and thin.
Orse, for her part, never forgave the Empire. Her ire grew not because the Vatali Empire exiled her, but because it categorises people as either assets or errors. Because it turns bloodlines into prisons. Because it weaponizes tradition to justify cruelty. Because it taught her, with absolute certainty, that power does not protect the vulnerable, it consumes them. The Vatali did not merely try to erase Orse’s identity. They tried to overwrite her body, her mind, her future. That kind of violence does not fade. It calcifies.
The Shroud and the Odanite arrival (31 ABY - Now)

Physical Description
Orse Olo is an Umbaran-Sephi hybrid with predominantly Umbaran traits. She has pale purple skin with blue undertones, thanks to her mixed heritage, and blue freckles covering much of her upper body and face. Her freckles are difficult to notice at a distance but up close or in strong light, they are obvious and clear. Two artificial, tattooed, beauty marks decorate the left side of her chin and right cheek under the temple, while a set of electrum earrings and piercings cover her pointed ears.
Of average height and weight, and with a slightly androgynous physique, Orse is sturdily built without being extremely muscular. Hairless apart from her head, she maintains a groomed and tidy appearance at all times. Her left arm has no distinguishing markings apart from a set of meticulously manicured, short, and glossy metallic nails on her right hand, while the right arm under the elbow looks to be a well-maintained cybernetic. The upper, organic part of her left arm is covered in geometric electro-tattoos only visible under ultraviolet light.
Her hair is a waterfall of dreadlocks along the top, pulled back and shaped into a massive, wildly elegant bun, with a curtain of dreadlocks falling loose from the bundle; the sides of her head, though mostly covered by hair, are covered in similarly shaped indigo tattoos as her arm.
Her lips are a naturally darker tone than her skin and her eyeliner is darkened in smoky purple and black tones as is the norm with her species. Once natural eyes have long since been replaced with artificial ones with permanently dilated, jet black pupils and twin circles of intense white-blue neon light circling the iris.
Relationships
Ysera and Kasula Daegella
Ysera and Kasula Daegella are Orse's close allies and her chosen speed demons. She is their sponsor, at least in part, financing their many and wild races and escapades. She often pays the twins for their services in running goods and services for her, especially when her own presence might be problematic.
The twins take to her requests with gusto because they know all of Orse's jobs come with at least a modicum of adrenaline and fun. Their relationship, while mostly transactional, sometimes goes beyond, into the intimate. Officially they are friends, and Orse pursues no relationship with either of them.
Morgan Sorenn
Morgan B. Sorenn is Orse's part-time employer. The Pirate Queen often hires Orse for complex slicing or electronic warfare jobs, and pays her well enough to keep her on side. Their relationship is hardly more than that, keeping to the bare-bones transactional "you scratch my back, I scratch yours."
That said, Orse finds Sorenn fascinating in that "poking the viper" way. Sorenn is dangerous and brings with her an abundance of peril for anyone interacting with her. Orse is often intoxicated by that feeling of danger and tends to push for it when interacting with Sorenn who, for her part, does nothing to dissuade her from it. Morgan finds the younger woman a fascinating toy, albeit a powerful one which she can leverage against her opponents.
