Sash Lilac

"Let's show this green maniac how to save a planet!"

—Lilac

Believed to be the last water-type dragon alive, Sash Lilac is known for her unique fighting style of cutting through foes with her twin ponytails, and by defeating an entire dreadnought, saving her homeplanet, and the entire galaxy. She was trained at a young age by the Red Scarves, but left their ranks in order to find her place in life. Although she has grown more reserved throughout her battles, she still has a big heart and will jump at the chance to help her friends. She also loves playing her Dizi, that help anyone and helself calm down in the most tense moments besides sounding great.

A curiosity lies on her name. Sash would be the surname, while Lilac is the given name, because this is the chinese name format, where the Family name comes first. However this is not the case for her Japanese Alias, Ryū Ketsueki. This one was given by Ciel after hearing her title given by the Royal Magister, DragonBlood. Ryū Ketsueki means literally "Dragon Blood" in Japanese.

Appearance

Lilac is a young Water Dragon, tall like a normal human. She has lilac skin, Purple to Scarlet Red eyes, Violet Hair with twin ponytails and a small and furry tail. She wears a Chinese vest consisting of a Blue suit, a white yukata, a red sash with a golden string and a flower knot tied to it, Blue gloves, white bracers with red details and Blue boots with pegasus like details. She has gills, but they're covered up by blue hearing aids. The right hearing aid can also project one small Ocular Holoscreen. See Equipment section for more info.

She also has a non-standard uniform from Solas Tempus, that only modify her white yukata and white bracers to black ones, and with the insignia of Blue Team on it, and a Blue Sash instead of a red one.

Her eyes have a curious behavior depending of the illumination. While her eyes are naturally purple, almost red, they can look full scarlet red depending of the situation. If she's in a dark room, and a lantern illuminate her face, the eyes start to shine red, and can stay like that for a few seconds, even minutes after the lantern being turned away.

Personality

Lilac is a good-spirited dragon and is more then willing to help those in trouble or in need. She is very motivated and refuses to give up under any circumstances, even when the rest of the team doubts the success of their mission. She's also very confident about herself ,never underestimating the others. She cares deeply about the safety of everyone and the mission, putting herself "in the front lines" and her friends above herself. Lilac can get very angry, but only when pushed to the extreme. When very angry (though very rare), she cannot be stopped, giving a reason for why sometimes she refers herself as Dragon in the third person.

"Your machines won't save you from the dragon you've unleashed. I will destroy everything you throw at me! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

—Lilac

If angry, she have two ways to calm down. One of them is practice the Meditation she learned while was training Martial Arts. The another one is play her Dizi in a calm and silent place. She also can enjoy lovely moments with Carol and Milla to calm herself down, but this last option isn't so effective than the first two ones.

Besides all of that, she's kind and try to be always in a good mood to influence the others to smile as well, even being silly sometimes if necessary.

Skills

Primary Skills

• Indomitable Will: Sash Lilac has a very strong force of will, completely free of evil or temptation. She can withstand extreme physical torture, and not have her will wavered. Even while being electrocuted with near-fatal voltage, she told Torque not to reveal anything to Brevon. Even Brevon himself said that he believe he could "Hack at her limbs all day" and she would "still find a way to bite back".

• Epoch Piloting:

  

  The Epoch Mark 3

  Created and constructed by Ciel, the Epoch Mark 3 is an Archaic Spacecraft with Time Travel and Warp Speed features. This model was based on the Mark 1, created by Belthasar in another dimension. When finished the construction, Lilac was the one who made the Test Flight around the Schatten Star System, and discovered Flint Stone in Soteria. After that, the Epoch was given for Lilac to be her own ship. The phrase written on the side was also changed from "The Wings of Time" to "Dragon of the Seas" by Ciel

Secondary Skills

• Leadership: Lilac is a naturally born leader, able to inspire others with her charisma, adore, and idealism. She is even capable of turning total strangers, even enemies, into comrades with just her words alone. This was also responsible to grant her a rank on Solas Tempus and the trust of the Admiral Lance Thomas.

• Intelligence: Lilac seems to possess above average intelligence. She was capable of understanding Ciel's techno-babble and explaining it.

• Mental Discipline: Lilac also have an incredible mental discipline due to her Martial Arts training, though not perfect, being easily motivated to revenge if very angry. Something that happened after Milla being transformed into a monster by Brevon and defeated by Lilac herself, thinking she died because of the fight.

• Swimming: As a Water Dragon, Lilac is a skilled swimmer. However, a genetic defect prevents her from breathing underwater. However she can hold her breath underwater for a longer period of time than the others without faint, probably by the same way the whales hold their breath.

History

Backstory

Lilac comes from a Planet, a few millions lightyears far from Earth or the Blazing Umbra Station / Schatten Star System, protected by the Coalition of Planets, named Avalice. Known as war hero, she destroyed, with help of her friends, a dreadnought filled with an army capable of destroying countless galaxies with their war power. She received the Royal Gratitude by the three kingdoms of Avalice and from the Coalition of Planets from Andromeda, and since then, the title DragonBlood got a meaning for the inhabitants of Avalice, if not for the entire galaxy.

RIFTALE

She found a rift that links Avalice to the Earth in one of her missions around Avalice, but couldn't explore this new world until return after the accomplished mission. Now with time to explore, she found Ciel preparing her stuff before depart to Blazing Umbra Station. Amazed by Lilac's superspeed, she asked if she could study her. Lilac accepted in exchange of information about this new world and the rifts.

While studying Lilac, Ciel was involved in research operations about the PXR, and only when she realized the danger this robot meant for the people, it was Lilac who destroyed the PXR and saved countless lives, while Ciel only was giving support. After this mission, she was called as A New Zero by Ciel, even not making much sense for Lilac, Ciel also asked if she could help her more in another missions, even in the current one, at Blazing Umbra Station

Solas Tempus

Lilac didn't came through a splice by accident, but as recommendation from Ciel, one of the leading scientists from the station. Lilac started as assistant for Ciel and her research team, although never stepping in the Labs, given chance by Ciel to learn about this place and explore before anything. But after a few events, she asked to be part of Solas Tempus Security Team for Blazing Umbra Orbital Station.

A few time after, she was named trainee crewman and started to observe and learn about the station, and its current mission, as well what are the splices and the derelict. In the meantime, Lilac and Lance were involved in an argument because of her idealism and how she reacted in front of "Unnecessary Violence" as described by Lilac. Because of that, she was bad because of what happened, thinking that place wouldn't accept her. With chance to talk with Captain Alouette Prairie, she didn't think twice when the good captain offered her a place in the Academy and a rank of Ensign inside the Enterprise, if she accepted to do some tests aboard the ship. However she was accepted as trainee crewman, something that would make her a double agent.

Due to this misunderstanding and suspect between the Starship Enterprise's Captain, Lilac and the Station, she was arrested as suspect of espionage and work for StarFleet Intelligence a few days after be named as ensign of Starfleet, however she was released due to lack of evidence that would connect her to the Section 31 and its operations. She felt betrayed because of what happened, and left the ranks of Starfleet. She stayed as an Acting Ensign for Blue Team, answering directly to the Admiral Lance Thomas as member of Security until get a real comission.

Equipment Notes

Lilac never used any weapons or firearms besides her long twin ponytails and her boots in martial arts maneuvers, however as ensign of Solas Tempus, it's necessary for her to carry at least one firearm.

Said that, she is always carrying a 24th Century Type-1 Phaser that is hidden on her sash, as well a TR-590 Tricorder XI. This phaser besides being the Solas Tempus model, have a 1/8th inch of wood finsh to prevent from being jammed by a Sonic Screwdriver. Her reasons for choosing to do such change on a standard weapon is because "in case of lack of options, this needs to have a very small chance to fail". Although she prefers to solve battles without using any firearm, something she always could do perfectly.

Lilac also wears two blue hearing aids because of a very simple reason. Behind her ears, she have gills that also would help her to breath underwater, because she's a water type dragon. However a genetic defect that prevents her to do so, and the inability of controlling the air and water intake of the gills because of this genetic defect, she uses the hearing aids to prevent them to do so, and intake air like the another lifeforms do, through her nose. However she can hold her breath underwater for a longer period of time than the others without faint, probably by the same way the whales hold their breath.

One of her hearings aids also was modified by Ciel to be always linked to her PADD and HAL Systems, receiving notifications and projecting a small holographic screen, covering partially one of her eyes like a HUD, that can also be used as targeting in case of using Type-3 Phasers or Long Range Phaser Rifles.

Lilac also has metal wings, that allows her to fly if the Dragon Boost maneuver is performed. Those wings are bonded to her, and even naked, they cannot be spotted (Where she hides it, huh?). She controls the wings by psychic commands, but she's not able to flap them due to the wings movement limit, being necessary a very high speed to fly around, something that can be solved by the Dragon Boost maneuver. If done so, the maneuver gets more strength and power, now called as Dragon Wings Maneuver.

Rare are the cases when she uses another equipment other than the Type-1 Phaser and the tricorder. But in assault mission cases, she picks a Late 24th Century Assault Rifle only when it's an order to use one. If not, she always uses her martial arts skills and the Type-1 phaser, but only when cornered.

Attributes

Lilac has a strong set of close-range attacks that involve hitting enemies with either her boots, her twin ponytails or with martial arts maneuvers. Her signature move, the Dragon Boost, gives her an instant burst of speed, capable to reach Mach speed in a few seconds, and she has a number of extra abilities that help carry her momentum across a variety of different terrain types. Her main weakness is the lack of a ranged attack, being limited to melee attacks, although this is mitigated somewhat by the Dragon Boost granting her temporary invulnerability. Would give Lance Thomas a serious headache if she were in the opposite side.
