Personality & Traits

General Overview		Torilla is easygoing and has a gentle manner, as she is more or less splitting the time she has with her children who are assigned with her and with her husband who is a long distance away. She can be easily distracted from time to time, if she's smiling then she's thinking of her husband and if not then she is thinking on the mission. Torilla is a very tactile woman, she tends to get along with many people easily and quite well until she has cause not to do so and this mentality as well as being prepared for anything and everything has served her well repeatedly as she has fought in several of the Federations most bloody battles, she has a dark side to her personality which she uses to her advantage in battle many times.

Personal History		Torilla Unal as she is listed on her birth certificate was born on the Hallian world of New Hallanna on November 9th, 2349 on the Terran calendar, in the capital city to Nebris and Selonis Unal, the pair had been trying to have children for years and Torilla was their last attempt. What Torilla did not know was that she had an older sister who had been taken away due to a government program for augmenting their already formidable psionic capabilities. Torilla's Mother and Father both decided not to burden Torilla with the knowledge of their older sister and the fact that he was gone and never coming back home. Torilla grew up as the cherished child and while she wanted for nothing, she also learned tolerance, respect, and humility as grew up watching as her colony world was terraformed around her from a polluted hellhole into a paradise, this made her appreciate Starfleet and as result, she would choose her profession, Strategic Operations with a side of Tactical. After joining Starfleet and going to the academy, her worlds elders had permitted it in the hope she would grow out of her dalliance and then return home to help save her people from extinction but when this proved not to be the case and after she mated with an outlander, they banished her from ever returning home. From the USS Halfgan to the USS Undauntable, from the USS Justice to the USS Stalwart Dawn to her husband's command, the USS Courageous, she has served as Strategic Operations as well as Tactical. She has greatly enjoyed the work she does as she sometimes likes the mayhem in battle a little too much. She has been told several times by various CO's that she is a little too dedicated to the destruction of the enemy once the first shot is fired as she tends to stop wanting to talk when she gets shot at, its not a serious concern but if pressed she will not wish to discuss terms while ordinance flies, also she has two none-punitive letters of caution in her file from combat during the Dominion War. this did not deter her from the destruction of the enemy when needed. Torilla has a highly defined sense of right and wrong as she had no problems about defending those weaker then she is and standing in at an even six-foot tall and weighing in at about two hundred pounds, facing off against this woman would be a daunting prospect as she is lethal with any of her known implements of war, the katana or the Bo, the Tulwar or the Mek'leth, the Dak'tag or the Scottish dirk. This is a woman who is no stranger to close-quarters battle and she regards it as highly as she does time spent with her husband with is just as skilled as she is. Also, she has trained her children in the arts of war, and now they are just as well-honed as she is because she raised them with a highly defined sense of right and wrong. She however has two skills most lack, her psionic abilities and her temper for when provoked, she can become almost a force of nature especially when lethal force is authorized and she is armed appropriately. Torilla Unal proved to be a reliable officer and a capable officer which most people liked and respected, however, there were the odd few who didn't like her because when she was younger, she used to be a lot harder to deal with, which caused her two reprimands. One of them was at the academy where she would meet her future husband during a bar brawl. The second was she disobeyed orders to save her Captain's life as he was stranded on a Volcanic moon, The Exec of the USS Endeavour decided to file a reprimand but little else was done. She entered Starfleet Academy when she was sixteen and proved herself a capable and diligent student, she excelled in classwork and theory and frequently scored extremely highly but often did poorly with Engineering so as it turned out she was not good with her hands, she has taken extra engineering courses to cure her of these issues but she still relies on the computer for the bulk of her engineering work. She was just entering her second year when Wolf Three Five Nine occurred and the effects of that one battle were far-reaching and devastating in many ways as the bulk of Starfleet's cadet corps was activated and placed on standby status, prepare to fight the Borg. Torilla was called up along with her classmates and her now-boyfriend, Jake Yamaguchi who gave her some training with bladed weapons to prepare her for the challenges that lay ahead, it was then when she realized she had feelings for the young cadet next to her on the line. Fortunately, the USS Enterprise-D was able to pull a rabbit out of their hat and stop the Borg as they entered Earth orbit and Torilla as well as her comrades were all able to breathe a sigh of relief. She graduated with honors and when she did so, she got married to her longtime boyfriend Jake Yamaguchi and she took his name as her own as the name had grown on her, also his entire family had all accepted her into their sizable family which by this point had over a dozen members. Unfortunately, this would end her ability to come back to New Halanna as the elders, upon learning what she had done, they proceeded to banish her for failing to uphold the teachings of her people in that she needed to think of them first before all others because her species was slowly dying off due to genetic damage sustained from centuries of stupidity and overpopulation of their homeworld. In a rage she turned to her husband and her new family and rather then fight with her about it as she had expected, they united behind her as they accepted her into their number as they think of relatives and in-laws as blood relations without exception. Late in 2367, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter she and Jake named 'Elizabeth' and a year later, along came a son which was named Gabriel, named for the legendary archangel in Christendom, it would give Torilla a compass to follow whereas before, she had none thanks to the elders of her home, casting her out for following her heart. She was assigned as an Operations Officer on the USS Undauntable, an older Excelsior on her last tour before she was to be decommissioned and scrapped. For a time, her and Jake's family was a happy and stable one as she went from the Undauntable to the USS Ursa Major and then one year later to the USS Dauntless, where she was promoted to the head of Strategic Operations before the officer before she had transferred to another assignment before moving across to the USS Endeavour, it was here where she would earn her second reprimand for disobeying orders to save her Captain's Life on a Volcanic moon. Around this time the Dominion War had begun and she served on the Front lines through some of the major battles, Tyra with the Seventh, Operation: Blue Room with the Second, Operation: Return and the following assignment to secure the Cardassian border, she also fought with the Sixth at Andoria and again at Coridan. She was also present for the battles at Chin'toka and Rigel VII, she was also present for the Battles of Betazed where she and her husband were reunited since the start of the war and the two of them helped free the planet at long last from Dominion occupation, she was also present for the battles of Earth, Getha and the end of the War at Cardassia itself. Torilla had become a combat veteran in every sense of the word as she now no longer cared to help others, she was more interested in security rather than peace, vengeance rather than mercy and while Jake and her children who now returned to her could see the changes in her as she tried to cope with peacetime, she was very quick to reach for her sword, phaser rifle or whatever weapon she had at her disposal as opposed to talking the situation out. She was jaded and thus she decided to take a couple of years away from Starfleet to sort her life out, she returned to New Halanna despite her exile to find both parents were now very old and fighting to hold onto the last of their sanity. Both were dealing with late-stage ALS and mid-stage Huntington's Disease, she remained home as she watched them both succumb to ALS within weeks of each other, she then sold the home and everything in it and returned to her husband, swearing "I'll never set foot upon this miserable ball of rock ever again, my home is where I go, not here and not along any of you pathetic beings who refuse to question anything." and with that, she left. angry and broken with her parent's last few remaining possessions which were now hers alone. To make matters worse, she was branded an 'Apostate'. Someone who abandoned their faith. Her words of course did not affect a populace who were desperate to stave off the inevitable, their destruction. Meanwhile, Torilla had returned to her husband's side as he was now commanding the USS Courageous with the rank of Captain and she remained under his command for the better part of two years. The Shinzon incident saw her transfer to Starbase 45 which was under the command of Jerome Hunt, husband to her sister in law, a woman named Talon Yamaguchi who taught her a great deal about guile and the various weapons of war as well as polishing off and refining what her husband had already taught her, Torilla also enrolled in several martial arts classes at the same time. Talon who was at the time an eighth level black belt, an Eighth Dan saw that Torilla was being consumed by her rage so she decided to take the other woman under her wing, thanks to these teachings, Torilla now had the discipline to hold her rage in check and she found something that would greatly help her in the years to come. Her time on Starbase 45 was very productive to her body and her soul as it freed her from the constant needs of war so she could devote her time to her husband and family while Jake was off on the USS Courageous Torilla was instrumental in preventing a reactor core meltdown due to an accident and for her actions, she was promoted to Commander for her actions of assuming command and dealing with the situation quickly and without long-lasting after-effects. Torilla Yamaguchi was recommended for Command school by Admiral Hunt in late April of 2380 and she was accepted into that class intake, she did well and graduated fifteenth in her class of some fifty-four students. She was reassigned back to Starbase 45, she was promoted to command her first command, the USS Marquand, one of four ships assigned to the starbase for sector-related duties such as patrol and assistance. She grew to like and then love the Marquand as she could set things up the way she wanted. While this old girl was an older Excelsior. Torilla regarded the ship as hers. Meanwhile, Torilla had found something new to hate and her husband's family realized that Torilla was turning herself into a weapon so Talon contacted her brother and recommended that he and his wife spend some serious time together away from the fleet. Both of them took six months from their combined leave time as Jake handed over command to his Exec, one Commander Charmaine Harris and they both went on a sabbatical, something she sorely needed and she found herself finding some much-needed peace and calm was restored to her raging spirit. She then returned to Starbase 45 rather than return to the USS Courageous, a changed woman, one who was calmer and more centered, she would remain here for another three years and she greatly enjoyed being assigned here. In later years she would think back as this was the best assignment she's ever had, serving with her husband would come a very close second. She then was transferred to the USS America as Chief Tactical Officer which in actuality was a demotion of sorts considering she had so much to do on Starbase 45 and now she went from a lot to almost nothing. when in 2387. The Hobus star suddenly collapsed and exploded as a supernova that Torilla suspected that someone had detonated a meta weapon near the star but she had no proof of this so she kept her theory to herself. It was here that she formed a rather unusual relationship with the ship's CAG, a man named Naota who was a Miran. He looked and acted like he was sixteen years old but Torilla could tell that there was a lot behind the scenes so rather than be an ass about it. She decided to give him the time of day. He reciprocated and the two formed a rather potent friendship. The two shared a lot of time before she asked if she could adopt him. Naota was somewhat surprised but he accepted. Captain Davidson who was commanding the America stuck in the paperwork, cementing their unusual relationship but he didn't object. Torilla was sad to see Naota leave a year later but the two remained in touch as any good mother and son would. At the same time. Torilla and their crew ran many relief missions to the Romulans and finally after two years, she requested a transfer to another assignment, that assignment was granted as she was quickly posted to Starbase 400. She was demoted back to Lt Commander because she and three dozen others were involved in a bar brawl on Starbase 48, and her promotion to Captain was canceled because the Admiral accused her of using disproportionate force when in fact she only used enough force to defend herself. When witnesses came forward to support her, they and Torilla herself were silenced by the Admiral who refused to look into the matter. The real story came out as the Admiral was protecting several of his Klingon buddies who were out for a good time and landed over twenty people in the infirmary. Torilla however took the blame for it since she was new and didn't know how the Admiral did things. She protested but Admiral Nechayev agreed and so that was that. This would produce a burning resentment that would never truly clear. Torilla's first mission allowed her to bring to justice a former Starfleet Admiral who had helped to give bad intelligence to Admiral Bremer, and helped cost him two of his children, she turned Riggs over to Starfleet Security for arrest rather than kill him herself as she almost did. Ever since coming to Starbase 400, she has since served on several of the base's ships on several missions and her first mission at the Starbase brought her face to face with her greatest fears given form, the losses of her children which she found difficult to focus on her work, even though the losses were the Admirals, she found it hard to distance herself from the dark specter of her deepest fears of someday losing her children. Needless to say, she was able to overcome it but it was a near thing, she eagerly sought the destruction of Admiral Riggs, and only her training as a Starfleet officer stopped her from making a fatal mistake in firing upon another Federation ship and almost certainly ending her career. Since that time, she has watched her last remaining child under her care grow into a young woman, confident and strong in her own right as she carried on with her various forms of mixed martial arts training and discipline which she felt it was important for Rachael to know. She also watched the developing relationship between Rachael and her friend Paul Harrison slowly move forward and she has become concerned as any parent normally would about their child seeing someone, despite her relative youth. While she watched her youngest develop from a child into a young woman, she also received news that her eldest was expecting his first child with his wife, needless this was an event that caused great joy for her, the news that she would become a grandmother. Her patience was rewarded with earning her second command, the USS Venator, the newest member to hold the name and her time was just starting in service. It was one thing to earn a command, it was quite another to earn a command of a brand new ship and Torilla hungered for chances to prove her worth. Her second mission there was interesting as she was able to save close to twenty Starfleet officers from the USS Buraq after she was ambushed and captured by a Gorn strike group, while on assignment to the USS Kearsarge which was deployed to Starbase Four hundred for extra support. Since being assigned to Starbase 400, Torilla has found herself being stretched with her various assignments, as a strategic operations officer of the base and Commanding Officer of her ship, the USS Venator. Recently she has served as commanding officer of her ship as part of the largest Federation operation ever conceived and attempted, she was able to resolve an attempt to sabotage her ship by a super-weapon, also she was able to repair her ship and save a convoy from an attack by a Krazzle warship. She spent a week on the blockade line with several hundred Federation and allied ships, ending a long and brutal conflict that claimed many tends of thousands of lives on both sides and helped to prevent a galactic war with the Typhon Pact. She also had to balance aggression with wisdom but it's not been easy. Since returning to Starbase 400. She was invited to a dual wedding as she was reunited with her close family, while at the bachelorette party, Celeste Yamaguchi went into labor and while it was dramatic, it went without issue and a short time later, Torilla's grandson came into the world, her son Gabriel named his son Gideon. She was asked to help shake down the newly commissioned USS Yorktown and while she has little love for the small Defiant-class ships which she considers to be overpowered Frigates, she kept her opinion to herself and now is relearning in a real hurry how to drive ships all over again, this has awakened in her a newfound appreciation for flying. During the shakedown mission of the USS Yorktown, she learned she was pregnant for the fourth time and she is making plans to have this child alongside her three others and she also heard that her daughter-in-law has also again become pregnant as well, to her that was wonderful news. Recently she was asked to attend not one but two weddings, the second was for Colonel Hurd and his new wife, Jewel Hurd and the first was for her friends, Alex Harrison and Leon Pike who finally tied the knot. The most recent assignment was the shakedown cruise of the new USS Yorktown and while she was expecting a simple and boring assignment, what she got was anything but dull as strange and funny things have started happening aboard ship. It was here aboard USS Yorktown where she learned she was pregnant. Upon her return to the Starbase, she quickly learned she was pregnant with not one but with two children, no Halanan had had twins in over two and a half centuries so this was a major shock for her, also no Halanan has had more than two in close to six centuries so Torilla has made history. Two weeks afterward, she came face to face with a man who demanded something from her that she was not prepared to part with, citing security concerns and the lack of serious protection for officers on Starbase 400, Torilla requested reassignment to any ship looking for a Lt Commander. Her request was granted, she was reassigned to a more mobile target, the USS Roanoke which needed an Executive Officer but also to make matters more complicated, she has recently learned that her homeworlds government has become interested in her and her sizable family. Her meeting with Captain Zara Tane on the USS Roanoke upon arrival was not a good one as Zara was still mourning the death of her previous Executive officer and dear friend. Admiral Brooks made a few offhanded jokes, one of them was about Torilla being tossed out an airlock. Needless to say, Torilla did not take that lightly. At first Captain Tane and Commander Yamaguchi seemed destined to end up in a state of war, the crew were having more bar fights than ever before as the new crew mixed with the old crew and the senior staff was all having issues. Another incident saw her and a dozen of the other ladies aboard the ship all being replicated as sex dolls for the amusement of one person who ended up being relieved of duty pending an investigation, the same individual also sole the command codes for Lt Commander Jacen Saint and as a result, he made a highly incriminating report, full of rumors and innuendo. As a result Siaxx almost committed suicide but as prevented almost at the last moment by Phoenix. She was dealing with a lot of drama when suddenly she and the Captain started getting along, almost quite by accident Zara and Torilla ended up in bed together. Both women found the experience quite liberating but they were interrupted with the R&D team came aboard. courtesy of Fleet Admiral April Yamaguchi. Torilla watched as her daughter flew the Roanoke out of spacedock, what was even better was that her daughter made flying look effortless and easy. She watched as her daughter's greatest triumph was turned to ashes because a pilot tried to kill her and Wing Commander Wukari 'Desert Fox' Kalina. While Wukari's wounds were worse than Rachael's. Gonad hit Rachael in the abdomen causing her to nearly lose her baby. except nobody had the heart to tell either Rachael or Torilla this little detail. Torilla felt what her daughter went through, one moment she was fine and the next she felt a searing wave of pain wash over her. She started screaming on the bridge for no reason, she had not been expecting it as she jumped out of her chair and went over to a turbolift to go and assist her child. She went down to sickbay and she terminated the life of the offending pilot, this action led her into a whole world of new hassle as she was arrested, Zara Tane broke her out of her cell and sent her home, back to her quarters to help her cope with what happened. Then a few days later came the incident with the Klingon Hooch being left on a vent where it caught fire and managed to leave half the crew in a state of intoxication. For Torilla, the mental sounds of so many people having sex were relaxing and allowed her to get a few night's sleep. However, the good times while being off duty were not to last as a few days past before she demanded to be restored to active duty. A day or so later, a virus struck the ship, it would sweep through the entire ship as Torilla herself quickly ended up at Death's door itself, the medical personnel were forced to remove Torilla's babies and implant them into someone else, this act was done to save the lives of the twins and of herself, however, she was violated in the process and since no consent was given from the other woman in question, Phoenix too was violated. For Torilla, this was a shock of the highest sort as she felt she had lost her babies, while it would help her and Phoenix to bond. It would also cause a rift to open between her and Siaxx Dvald over the matter. What was worse was the rift that opened between her and her eldest daughter, the one who committed the surgery. The next six weeks would test Torilla in several ways, with Rachael being arrested, also Elizabeth kept her company for it. Needless to say, the aftermath was downright destructive as Torilla went on the rampage over what was going on, the news of Phoenix being arrested with Torilla's twins only added rocket fuel to the bonfire. Needless to say, she went after information with far more force then she needed to, causing a rift between her and her best friend but needless to say it caused more problems then she was prepared to deal with. The one ray of sunshine in all of this was her eldest daughter's wedding which Elizabeth deliberately kept low key and as such, she only had a couple of people there. The first week after her return to active duty. Torilla found herself facing new issues with Rachael and Siaxx's medical mission to Deneva going awry, Phoenix seemed to slowly continue to deteriorate and with Siaxx missing. it fell to Torilla, Elizabeth, and her husband Kameron to tend to Phoenix's issues. Also around the same time, Torilla learned she was pregnant for the fifth time after she miscarried that one, she became much more careful about the matter, also she offered to help Nalla learn to control her telepathic skills with much more precision. Since the return of the away team from the temporal anomaly. Torilla has been assisting her daughter and her new granddaughter adjust to life on a Federation starship. Two weeks into the first colony relief assignment, a sentient hologram appeared on the ship, this caused a mishap to occur between her and Lieutenant Nalla Furban whom Torilla was teaching to use her abilities without needing to numb herself or fear her skills. Torilla had her psionic shields down when the two collided, this caused Torilla's hormones to become overcharged in that she became instantly aroused, unfortunately, her mind could not process the effect and she ended up broadcasting it to the entire ship, needless to say, that this event was much more severe then the drugs getting loose. Torilla also ended up enduring four hours of hot steamy sex in the shower with Lieutenant Furban. It was interrupted with Commodore Lil'yanna Olmos interrupted the two, by sedating Nalla and helping to entire that both women were unharmed. Physically Torilla was fine but mentally, she was almost brain damaged from the experience, the effects would affect her for months to follow. Unfortunately, her situation took a turn for the worse in regards to her newest child which in many ways was an accident but fortunately, her eldest daughter was willing to carry this baby to term, Torilla felt that her daughter's sacrifice was not necessary, that she could handle it, Elizabeth was cool, calm and collected throughout the entire ordeal in that she reminded her mother that she wasn't young anymore and she wasn't able to keep doing to herself what she was doing. In the end, Torilla realized that Elizabeth was right in that she was unable to simply carry on like normal considering her risk issues with her pregnancies that she had been having, her high blood pressure, and stress-related issues so she gave the still-developing baby to Elizabeth to carry to term. Torilla also decided to have her ovaries removed so she could not have children any longer, yet she decided to keep everything else, she gave them to Nalla in the hopes that it could help her with her project into seeing why the Halanan's are having a fertility issue when Torilla was becoming pregnant regularly. Torilla meanwhile watched as Fives would bond with her daughter as Elizabeth had made it very clear to Fives exactly what she was expecting of him in regards to the unborn child she was carrying, Torilla fully supported Elizabeth in her cause. Meanwhile, Rachael had left Lieutenant Bernice Gyce to look after Saki rather than her mother as a result of all the issues that Torilla was dealing with, needless to say, Rachael did explain why to Torilla and while the older woman did not like it, she did accept it. On the 28th of June, 2391, she was present for Phoenix and Siaxx's long overdue wedding as Phoenix's Maid of Honor while Elizabeth held what was traditionally the best man's position, also Torilla was present for Siaxx's reunion with her own family who had rejoined Starfleet. Also around the same time, she and her husband were present for the arrival of the twins from her son and his wife, her long and rough pregnancy now at an end, the four of them welcomed Arlene and Nicolle Yamaguchi into the world and their lives. More recently on the 3rd of July, Torilla had to deal with the severe beating of her eldest daughter, she has since tried not to get involved and let her emotions run riot, so to show that she can prove that she can handle stupidity and conflict of interest issues, she has appointed herself to prosecute for the Captain's Mast that Tienn Iteela will be trying to save her career. She also has had to watch her son in law almost end his relationship with her daughter, also something she has to avoid getting entangled up in as she felt it was important for Elizabeth and Kameron to resolve it themselves. Thankfully she did not need to worry as she watched Elizabeth and Kameron sort out their issues after Elizabeth was badly beaten by Ensign Tienn Iteela. It later turned out that Tienn Iteela was drugged without her knowledge but the situation was further exacerbated by the fact that the new counselor, Cressa Stevens hypnotized the Captain into remaining clean and sober rather than drink and drug herself into a stupor every night. Unfortunately, Lt Commander Lasky found out about it and this caused him to lose respect for Torilla as he started with questioning Elizabeth Yamaguchi on the matter. Elizabeth of course, denied any knowledge of the matter which was true as Torilla kept her out of it, knowing that she could be blamed. Lasky then questioned the Counselor which only added rocket fuel to a burning space scrapper. He hit her once around the side of the head and then he placed her in a hangman's position, all he needed to do was add leverage and he could have killed her by breaking her neck. This only served to cause further strain between her and Zara Tane so she was reassigned to become the Exec for the Dreamcrusher while Commander Telios Wintersnow was reassigned to become Roanoke's exec for the remainder of the mission. When the hanger fire broke out. Torilla was still the Executive officer assigned to the USS Dreamcrusher so she knew where most of her family was located. She would later learn that Elizabeth and Rachael were both involved in the disaster but she would also learn that Ennis had proposed to her middle child before Torilla herself had a chance to meet him. Nevertheless, she simply took it in stride that her baby had become a woman and was making her own choices. Her life would go sideways when she found out that Zara Tane was accused of trying to kill "Phoenix Sullivan and her daughter, Rachael who was flying as her pilot. A week later Torilla would finally get her lifelong dream of having her command and the rank of Captain as Admiral Bento Smathsoouli promoted her to that rank and gave her command of the USS Courageous. However, Smathsoouli was arrested not even two weeks later and now Torilla faced facing losing her command for the second time. For now, however, she is resolved to make the most of her time commanding the Courageous for as long as Command left her in command of that much-storied ship. All good things must end and thus it was when her ship, the USS Courageous was destroyed while escorting a convoy, Torilla herself was badly wounded and needed some serious medical assistance to survive.

Simming History		Considerable, I have simmed off an on in PbeM sims for years, I have over two decades of writing experience. I've been in several fleets but all of them are now defunct and closed down, I've spend much of the last ten years in independent sims because I saw many of the earlier fleets had too much politics going on in them between the various members which I felt was detracting from the sim's health. Torilla is a character I've thought about on and off for the better part of a year and a half, I decided on someone older with a good deal of experience because of my real life experience. I decided the idea of the younger officer was something I had done too much so I wanted something different. Also I wanted to break a few misconceptions of some races... I settled on the Halania because they were unusual and exotic. The idea was developed with the idea that Torilla had a family, that someone shaped and sculpted by war's ugly demands could raise children and help with her grandchildren. With a little help from a friend, Torilla was given form as was her family.
How did you hear about Starbase 400		I've always known about Starbase 400, from friends and from the web. I've watched this sim since she was the USS Pegasus and I've always found her missions and information to be detailed and well worth the read. Now I get to write them instead of the just reading them.
