Captain:Solei'i Kiris

"Do you know why I do this? Why I serve the Sacrosanctity? Why I became an admiral? It is not because I wanted to be someone, not to follow in my father's footsteps, and not to satisfy some desire for meaning. It is to serve and protect my people. To help them grow as people, so that one day they may be someone."

- Solei'i Kiris

Solei'i Kiris is an admiral in service to the  - set apart from her peers by being the youngest admiral ever to serve. Daughter to Feron Kiris, the Grand Admiral of the Sacrosanctity and the absolute leader of its military, Solei'i is a widely known figure within both political circles and the general populace. Nevertheless, Solei'i is wildly independent; seeking to stand as her own person and not have her life dictated by the comparisons made to her father.

History
Born on during her family's reign over the Sacrosanctity, Solei'i grew up surrounded by luxury and enjoyed from an easy life. Having never really known her biological mother, and with her father often acting quite negligently towards her due to his work, Solei'i found a mother figure in a Sildas woman who had previously been her father's lover. Many of her personal beliefs stemmed from this childhood and she was known to have spent large amounts of time with the children of her home estate's slaves - contributing to Solei'i gaining an open mindset in regards to other species, and viewing them for the most part as equals.

A short while after reaching adulthood, Solei'i went on to enlist in the military; finding her footing as a captain of her own vessel within the fleet of Sons of Hiroghain. Over the course of only measly four years, Solei'i made a name for herself within the fleet and was awarded rank after rank until finally reaching the rank of an admiral. Her unprecedented rise through the ranks was viewed negatively by many of the other officers, who criticized her for using her familial connections - as they saw it - to rise to her current status. Despite this, Solei'i continued to serve with dignity and without caring at all what her colleagues thought of her.

As an admiral she has come into more direct contact with her father forcing him to confront the reality of having a family, and has earned some understanding for Feron's negligence towards her - even if not having fully forgiven him for it. Solei'i has also developed a deep-rooted distaste for pirates - almost equal to that of her father's - making a name for herself in the criminal underworld as an effective pirate hunter; preying particularly on those belonging to the Orphan Fleet.

Appearance
A youthful person in both looks and attitude, Solei'i is an Ezesi'i of moderately small size, being in the lower end of the spectrum for average sizes among her people. While the colouration of her body is the common beige it has a slight hint of pure white in it - a rare trait among Ezesi'i. Additionally, Solei'i is of a stronger physique than most of her people, and while not actively seeking to show it is still something present in most of her mannerisms. As an admiral, Solei'i is expected to wear standard issue military uniform, which she does while also adding to it her own flair in the form of minor pieces of Sildas fashion - showing clear pride in her upbringing.

Personality
Distinct from other Ezesi'i in terms of her personal beliefs, Solei'i thinks that everyone should be allowed to make their own decisions in regards to who they are and not be forced into some role that inhibits them from achieving the things they would want to do. This sense of independence often takes form in Solei'i herself as a desire to prove that she is her own person, and not her father. However, the comparisons made to her rather distant father have caused Solei'i emotional distress throughout her life; with Solei'i being left feeling inferior and troubled over the fact that people won't judge her by her own merits. Nevertheless, Solei'i is often quite cheerful and empathic when dealing with others, and doesn't want to cause others more concern by adding her inner struggles to their troubles. In addition, Solei'i cares deeply for her people - which to her, isn't only the Ezesi'i - and is ready to do anything for their safety.

Abilities
As an Ezesi'i, Solei'i possesses powerful telepathic abilities which she uses actively and to great lengths. However, she doesn't use these abilities with brute force, instead preferring to strategically control how a person reacts to other stimuli. Additionally, thanks to her upbringing by a Sildas woman, she is capable of quickly forming an understanding of another person's psyche - even without the need for telepathy. When commanding her fleet, Solei'i is incredibly cautious; preferring to use misdirection against her foes, leading them to act in a way that is beneficial to her rather than take the chance with confronting them head-on.
