∗ the life in which i'm forever a child , looking out my window at the night sky . thinking, one day , i'll touch the world with bare hands , EVEN IF IT BURNS . ( hal's pienna al trel , an original character for the star wars franchise . )
by the pricking of my thumbs
something wicked this way comes.
these are all pretty low-activity sideblogs + usually only used on request.
in lieu of a mains or exclusives page, i've decided to instead highlight the dynamics i've developed with my friends.
THREADS WITH these individuals TAKE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
orson krennic ♥#debelltio
* long time friend, significant other / husband, it's a little complicated sometimes. one of the few people she truly trusts + cares for. the significance of their relationship is substantial. (main verse ship, generally speaking)
obi-wan kenobi#jedite
* friend, partner, confidant. one of the very fist humans she ever met. the man who saved her life. her protector on a great deal of IRF missions. congruent lines, destined to never fully meet.
armitage hux#acharnemcnt
* has known him since he was a child, her protégé, adoptive son. had a large hand in raising him in the imperial remnant. her closest confidante in the first order. without him, she would have been executed in 11aby. very protective of him.
darth vader#vaderari
* “boss”, but it's messy. has nothing but the utmost respect for him. extremely toxic + complicated dynamic.
vencikye kryze#alligais
* enemy, the witness, put her in a headlock once. long standing antagonistic relationship.
this is a roleplay blog for my original star wars character, pienna al trel. she has been heavily developed over the course of several years, alongside my extensive worldbuilding of the canon planet ralltiir. she is apart of a species of near-humans known as the ralltiiri. she has considerable history in the galaxy as both a senator of the republic, and a member of the galactic empire. please at least read the quick points page to get a better understanding before interacting!
﹟ honestly if you’re not writing a star wars character, i’m just not really all that interested. it’s nothing personal, but i’m only here to write about my special interest.
﹟ specifically, if you’re in the marvel, dc, or any sort of cartoon/anime rpcs, please don’t follow me lol
﹟ don't follow me if you use emilia clarke as a fc. especially her in GOT. i have nothing against emilia or GOT (genuinely), it's just an extremely overused and lazy fc that irritates me. thanks.
﹟ general modern roleplay conduct applies.
﹟ manipulative behavior (guilt tripping, shade, ect) will be met with a block. same applies to public political discourse, any -phobic or shitty nonsense, bad shipping practices (reylo, obikin), ect.
﹟ if you intend to unfollow me, please soft/hard block to avoid awkwardness. whichever you prefer.
﹟ if i do not follow you back within a few days, you are welcome to leave.
﹟ just don't act like a psycho, that's all i ask :')
﹟ i don’t generally do “we just met” threads. i prefer to have pre-established relationships that we have discussed in ooc. i really love plotting, so feel free to shoot me a dm!
﹟ friendships and rivalries are very welcome, as well as romantic or “friends with benefits” dynamics. please bear in mind that pienna is a very complex person, and in most situations, is a very toxic individual to be involved with in any sense. she is extremely manipulative, and will not treat her friends or partners well.
﹟ pienna is very promiscuous and flirty. i am not attempting to force ship when she flirts or makes a pass at your muse. assume absolutely nothing.
﹟ i default to piennic in most verses (w/@debelltio). all other romantic relationships take place in alternative universes unless stated otherwise.
﹟ i love to write very toxic, terrible relationships. if you’re comfortable with it, this is absolutely a possibility for either platonic or romantic dynamics.
this blog will contain graphic descriptions of violence, gore, torture, psychological/emotional abuse, and extreme immorality to the effect of war crimes and the treatment of others. it will also contain themes of child abuse, neglect and harm, alcoholism, and sexual deviance. star wars as a franchise is an incredibly dark place, and the history for pienna is no exception. i will often speak casually of these subjects, but egregious descriptions will be tagged.
pienna is heavily involved with the empire, and is fundamentally a bad person— her views do not reflect my own, and fiction does not equal reality. i will not be hearing your “hot takes” on this topic. follow at your own discretion.
﹟ this blog is mutuals only. i will only interact with, answer asks + dms from folks that i follow, + follow me.
﹟ i expect all of my writing partners to be 21 years of age or older. minors that follow me will be soft blocked.
﹟ i use small, colored and mildly formatted text with typical “fancy” icons at default. i will usually match my partner’s preferred style of formatting. i range from one-liners to full para writing.
﹟ i post ooc somewhat regularly, however, it is all blog or rpc relevant. i will never post ooc that is not related to my oc or sw.
﹟ i have been roleplaying online for well over a decade, and i have seen unnecessary, bullshit drama in every single community i have ever been in. i am sick of it. drama is, in my opinion: vague posting, callout posts in any form, “warning” posts, political discourse that has nothing to do with your blog, namedropping, ect.
﹟ there are rare cases in the rpc where genuine predators have been found and need to be addressed. this is the only time i will allow a callout.
﹟ if you have a problem with me, or something that i posted, talk to me. we are adults, + can resolve the situation without needing to drag it onto the dash. i am a reasonable person, + more than willing to talk.
﹟ triggers will be tagged as [ trigger / ].
﹟ the content posted on this blog is all original, and has been created expressly for this blog by me.
﹟ similarly, all the writing and worldbuilding found on this blog and the associated pages were written by me. please do not reproduce, steal or copy anything i have created. i will not be happy.
﹟ i will never publicly write smut. i'm just not comfortable with it. there will be occasional discussions of sex or nsfw content, or writing of a suggestive nature, and such things will be tagged accordingly.
﹟ please remember there is a human being behind the screen. be kind, courteous, and polite. not just to me, but to everyone you interact with. if i simply do not like your vibes, or see you treating people poorly, i will hard block.
sequels au
THE YEAR IS 4ABY, AND THE REBELS HAVE PROVEN VICTORIOUS. IN THE WAKE OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE IMPERIAL EMPIRE, moff pienna al trel finds herself adrift— a lone star destroyer amidst a galaxy of enemies. with nowhere to turn, and fearing her end is near, she disappears with her crew into the farthest depths of the outer rim. there, in the forgotten fringes of the galaxy, lies the imperial remnant, recuperating after the devastating loss of the emperor. it is there that pienna al trel crosses paths with the lauded admiral sloane, and her young friend. unwitting of the role she would play in the life of armitage hux, she befriends the child, and would come to be one of the few stabilizing figures in his childhood.
over the years, pienna quickly becomes an invaluable member of the remnant. she returns to her role as minister, and takes up the weighty responsibility of rallying what remains of the imperial troops. working closely alongside sloane, they slowly begin to rebuild what was lost— and a kinship is formed. her bond with the young, troubled hux grows, and within the several years of knowing, and taking care of him, she grows deeply attached to the boy. even considering him the son she never had. 11ABY— THE YEAR OF CHAOS. on a routine trip back into republic space, minister al trel is captured by new republic forces. her luck having finally run out, she is returned promptly to the inner rim, coruscant. put on trial for her length list of crimes during the reign of the empire, her sentence is read after months of deliberation: EXECUTION. the news reaches the remnant quickly, and the young hux— loathe to lose her— begins to plan a way to save al trel. and within a few short weeks, launches his scheme. in one fell swoop, the eleven year old boy rescues pienna from certain death. RETURNED TO THE REMNANT SAFELY, pienna resumes her role as minister, and takes armitage under her wing. with the future of the remnant cemented, and time ticking on, it wouldn't be long before the group of imperials undertake a new mantle: THE FIRST ORDER.
rebel au
OVER THE DURATION OF THE CLONE WARS, pienna al trel became closely associated with the jedi knight obi-wan kenobi. during this incredibly trying time, pienna made an effort to help those in need (while lining her own pockets), and at the behest of the supreme chancellor, was accompanied by kenobi on a great deal of her relief missions. the two became close friends.
as 19bby drew closer, pienna began to have dreams again. prior to the siege of yan-kel, she had prophetic dreams of its destruction, and had an overwhelming sense of impending dread. as it would turn out, her "prophetic" dreams came true— and she feared that the same would become of these new dreams. and where she would think to confide in her good friend palpatine, she instead chooses to speak to kenobi on the matter. he informs her that she should be wary of palpatine, and she heeds his advice. as order 66 sweeps the galaxy, pienna al trel ignores the calls from the newly anointed emperor palpatine. for the next ten to twenty years, she remains a member of the senate, waiting for obi-wan kenobi's return, unaware of his fate on tatooine. ( she may either simply remain a senator, or actually join the rebellion in hopes of finding obi-wan. more, she may or may not go after him herself during the events of the kenobi show. regardless, she is pretty strictly opposed to the empire, but still heeds to the emperor's demands in fear for her career / life. generally speaking, she is sympathetic to the rebellion. )
AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE RALLTIIR BOMBING, and practically being left for dead, she comes to the realization that the empire could care less what happened to her. deeply disturbed by this, she convinces a surviving stormtrooper to take her anywhere but back to her cruiser, and ends up on a moon of ralltiir. after regaining her strength, she disappears into the outer rim.
she ends up traveling to llanic– a smugglers hideout in the deep outer rim. run by the hutts, llanic made for the perfect place for her to disappear. initially, she simply disappears into the hot, muggy forests left unpopulated on the far side of the planet. however, she begins to work for the hutts, and eventually, acquires territory from them. eventually, she drives them off the planet completely. she runs a nameless syndicate all her own, setting up a “high class” system that attracts white-collar types.
her home and subsequent den of debauchery, sakad palace, is situated in the deep forests, far from the spaceports and cantinas the planet is known for. she surrounds herself with elite, professional criminals, and takes her work very seriously. out there, she is strictly known as the lady in green.
force sensitive au
MARKED BY THE HORRORS OF NEAR-DEATH, pienna returns from the attempt on her life wrong.
lying in a pool of her own blood, broken beyond saving, upon a planet known for its strength in the force, she perseveres through a will she did not know she had. a wound in the force is ripped in her, and through that wound, she now wields the power of satakal.
returning to high ontis, the ralltiiri recognize her as an asata, and send her to its highest peak to commune with satakal. from there, it's a visceral, cataclysmic dive into the dark side of the force, from which she never recovers. (this au requires some plotting, as she never leaves ralltiir after these events, and becomes an extremely powerful and dangerous force user.)

raised in the great house trel atop ralltiir's high ontis, pienna's early years are better left forgotten. with extremely controlling and emotionally abusive parents, she prefers to forget the first fifteen years of her life. she escaped their grip, but not without scars.from the age of sixteen and onward, pienna lived a military lifestyle. trained by the ralltiiri military, she is intimately familiar with combat, and shows a disturbing penchant for warfare. her methods of operation earned a reputation of being extreme, and most of the records from her service were sealed upon entering the senate. she entered her senatorship as a decorated officer.as a senator, she was known for her “benevolence” and grounded thinking. though she was not without her trademark ruthlessness, she was markedly more relaxed in this non-military station. she frequently insisted on aid to neutral systems that were ravaged by the separatists, and eventually set up a fund from her own pockets to aid said systems.her kind behavior did not hold up under intense scrutiny, however, as most of acts of kindness she performed were simply to further her own goals. she found company with the chancellor palpatine and his entourage, and became deeply embedded in his pocket.
after the jedi “uprising”, pienna briefly continued her office as senator before the now emperor palpatine found a more suitable position for her: minister of truth. appointed by him directly, she crafted a massive propaganda machine to further shape a powerful, “benevolent” image for the galactic empire. her duties also extended to liaison and emissary of “resistant” systems, which were subjected to sociopolitical subversion under her strict guidance. she made good use of both her political prowess and military experience to convince those opposed to the empire that it would be in their best interest to comply. those that did not were often subjugated by force.in early 8 bby, she was appointed moff of the darpa sector due to rising concerns of rebel activity. with her elevation to this rank came a great upheaval of the entire sector, and widespread subterfuge of their reigning governments. she posted herself on her home planet of ralltiir, and cracked down on security. it wasn’t until 0 aby that the previously suspected rebel activity came to light.not long after her posting, an attempt on her life was made, one that ultimately failed, but left her severely scarred. a massive skirmish broke out immediately afterwards. lord tion was dispatched to deal with the situation in the place of the injured al trel, but it quickly escalated into an all out siege that she was forced to address personally. in the end, the empire emerged victorious, and order was restored. moff al trel was commended for her swift and clean handling of the situation. she was awarded a destroyer that she christened the apollyon.after the death of the emperor, al trel attempted to maintain her post, but was quickly driven out of the darpa sector by rebel forces. al trel made a stand, but was ultimately forced to flee. for a short time, she maintained a minor presence in the outer rim with the imperial remenant, but was eventually caught while attempting to cross over a small portion of new republic space. returned to the inner rim, she was tried for considerable war crimes, and summarily executed for them.
﹟ the ralltiiri civil war. raging long since before her birth, pienna joined the ranks of the fellow ralltiiri in the fight against the human colonists.﹟ near-fatally wounded on the battlefield. in the midst of a conflict, pienna was shot center mass several times, and was considered deceased for 4 minutes. she was honorably discharged afterwards. only a few months after her near-death experience, the ralltiiri government signed their planet over to the republic.﹟ becoming senator. chosen for her tact and charisma, she was offered up to the republic as the representative of her home. she became closely associated with the then senator palpatine. in the midst of the clone wars, she established the separatist relief fund, which sends monetary aid to planets affected heavily by the droid army.﹟ second near-death experience. while on a humanitarian mission, the senator was intentionally targeted by separatist forces. she was shot, but managed to survive.
﹟ the fall of the republic. as soon as it was clear that the republic was lost, she joined the newly established galactic empire at the behest of her old friend and mentor, palpatine. given a position geared to her strengths, she manned the imperial propaganda machine with vigor. later, she was appointed moff of the darpa sector. she became renowned for her cruelty and calculated methods.﹟ loss of her eye. during her occupation of ralltiir, rebel forces attempted to assassinate her. while this effort proved futile, it unintentionally caused a massive explosion that al trel was caught in. it resulted ultimately in the loss of her left eye.﹟ escaping punishment. upon hearing word of the destruction of the second death star, and the death of the emperor, the moff quickly went into hiding, knowing that the rebels were out for blood. for several years, she was a ghost.﹟ execution. 11 years after the fall of the empire, pienna al trel was caught by new republic officers, and was subsequently put on trial for her litany of war crimes. she was executed in late 11 aby.
PIENNA OFFICIALLY JOINS THE GALACTIC SENATE AS A SENATOR AFTER PHANTOM MENACE. during the events of AOTC + TCW (25BBY - 17BBY), she would be a senator, and referred to as such. she is also regarded somewhat as a celebrity in this golden age of the republic, and is rather well known in the inner-rim, and outright a household name on coruscant.her reputation was established quite intentionally over the course of several years with holo interviews, guest appearances on talk shows, and the mingling with real celebrities. she's also rather well known for her involvement in fashion.her close association with chancellor palpatine also had a hand in thrusting her into the public spotlight.
FOR TWO YEARS AFTER THE EVENTS OF ORDER 66, pienna still retained her status as a senator. however, she was also working in conjunction with the emperor and his new empire as the minister of truth. during this time, her position is somewhat covert, but in 17BBY, she was broadcast for the very first time over holonews as minister, retiring as senator. during this time, she also held the naval rank of moff.in the years leading up to ANH (0BBY), her once stellar and beloved reputation takes a nosedive as she continues to publicly espouse imperial propaganda. her name and face are soon associated with lies and treachery. she travels considerably, and is often found "observing" imperial outposts or ships for her work. among imperials, her reputation is a bit of a mixed bag. some find her easy to work with, while others don't trust her.
SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR TO THE EVENTS OF ROGUE ONE, she was reassigned to the darpa sector by the emperor himself to personally monitor reports of a possible uprising. within a few years, the people of the darpa sector, and anyone within comms range, regarded her as a tyrant. she enacted strict regulations over the sector, and terrorized its citizens without remorse in the name of "order".in 0BBY, the ralltiir bombing occurred, and in swift vengeance, she annihilated an entire city center populated solely by thousands upon thousands of civilians. news of this atrocity reached far and wide, and would eventually be the reason for her later execution in 11ABY.through the rest of the timeline (ESB, ROTJ, MANDALORIAN, ECT), she maintains her rank of moff.
+ military prowess & tactical knowledge
while the ralltiiri are known mainly for banking and resource export, the “true” ralltiiri have always been regarded as warrior-like. pienna was known in name by a great many in the darpa sector for her ability to wage and win a war.
+ political affluence & fluidity
naturally charismatic and well spoken due to her upbringing, pienna can easily sway most average people into taking her side. while not necessarily the best at what she does, her skill is undeniable.
+ excellent swordsmanship
the ralltiiri covet the ancient art of combat by blade, and it is required by all ralltiiri soldiers to learn how to skillfully weild a blade. pienna has practically perfected the art over the years.
+ / - natural manipulator
in some lights, her ability to wrap people around her little finger can be seen positively. but more often than not, she uses her power for her own, usually terrible, gain.
FASHION + CLOTHING DESIGN during her very first few months on the senate, pienna became enraptured by high coruscanti fashion. enamored by the gaudy apparel of the elite, she became very deeply embedded into the culture, and even designed a considerable amount of her own clothing. while not the most talented artist, she sketches possible clothing designs very frequently.
BOTANY + THE KEEPING OF PLANTS while she hasn't always had time for this particular interest, it is easily her favorite. being born in what one might call a "de-industrialized" place has left her with an innate connection to nature. she feels safest amidst flora, and surrounds herself with it in all her living spaces. she has a penchant for hybridization, and enjoys creating new plants.

BROKEN FOREARM + ANKLE left side, non-severe. minor breaks caused by a long fall during the war. + no trauma.

this is an incredibly brief overview of the species for brevity's sake. check out my other carrd or the links above for more indepth information.
ralltiir is dominated primarily by human immigrants, however, above the cityscapes, in the great mountain of high ontis live individuals known as the true ralltiiri. descended from the reptilian natives to their planet, they are natural predators, despite being watered down by generations of breeding with humans.few of these ralltiiri still exist, and are regarded as extremely rare. very few people would be able to recognize a ralltiiri, as they are reclusive, and nearly extinct. members of their species have not left their homeworld or their territory in thousands of years.
COLD BLOODED. slightly below the human average. cool to the touch.CARNIVOROUS. sustained solely on meat.SHARP, POINTED TEETH. meant for tearing flesh.VERTICALLY DILATED PUPILS. capable of seeing in low light, and views an expanded color spectrum.HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SMELL. can distinguish a great deal of things from scent alone.INTRICATE REPTILIAN SKIN PATTERNS. decorates the back, and top of extremities.NON-HUMAN LIFESPAN. capable of living upwards of 120 years.MARGINALLY STRONG THAN HUMANS. can easily out-preform most fully grown human men.

PIENNA OFFICIALLY JOINS THE GALACTIC SENATE AS A SENATOR AFTER PHANTOM MENACE. during the events of AOTC + TCW (25BBY - 17BBY), she would be a senator, and referred to as such. she is also regarded somewhat as a celebrity in this golden age of the republic, and is rather well known in the inner-rim, and outright a household name on coruscant.her reputation was established quite intentionally over the course of several years with holo interviews, guest appearances on talk shows, and the mingling with real celebrities. she's also rather well known for her involvement in fashion.her close association with chancellor palpatine also had a hand in thrusting her into the public spotlight.
FOR TWO YEARS AFTER THE EVENTS OF ORDER 66, pienna still retained her status as a senator. however, she was also working in conjunction with the emperor and his new empire as the minister of truth. during this time, her position is somewhat covert, but in 17BBY, she was broadcast for the very first time over holonews as minister, retiring as senator. during this time, she also held the naval rank of moff.in the years leading up to ANH (0BBY), her once stellar and beloved reputation takes a nosedive as she continues to publicly espouse imperial propaganda. her name and face are soon associated with lies and treachery. she travels considerably, and is often found "observing" imperial outposts or ships for her work. among imperials, her reputation is a bit of a mixed bag. some find her easy to work with, while others don't trust her.
SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR TO THE EVENTS OF ROGUE ONE, she was reassigned to the darpa sector by the emperor himself to personally monitor reports of a possible uprising. within a few years, the people of the darpa sector, and anyone within comms range, regarded her as a tyrant. she enacted strict regulations over the sector, and terrorized its citizens without remorse in the name of "order".in 0BBY, the ralltiir bombing occurred, and in swift vengeance, she annihilated an entire city center populated solely by thousands upon thousands of civilians. news of this atrocity reached far and wide, and would eventually be the reason for her later execution in 11ABY.through the rest of the timeline (ESB, ROTJ, MANDALORIAN, ECT), she maintains her rank of moff.
﹟ the ralltiiri civil war. raging long since before her birth, pienna joined the ranks of the fellow ralltiiri in the fight against the human colonists.﹟ near-fatally wounded on the battlefield. in the midst of a conflict, pienna was shot center mass several times, and was considered deceased for 4 minutes. she was honorably discharged afterwards. only a few months after her near-death experience, the ralltiiri government signed their planet over to the republic.﹟ becoming senator. chosen for her tact and charisma, she was offered up to the republic as the representative of her home. she became closely associated with the then senator palpatine. in the midst of the clone wars, she established the separatist relief fund, which sends monetary aid to planets affected heavily by the droid army.﹟ second near-death experience. while on a humanitarian mission, the senator was intentionally targeted by separatist forces. she was shot, but managed to survive.
﹟ the fall of the republic. as soon as it was clear that the republic was lost, she joined the newly established galactic empire at the behest of her old friend and mentor, palpatine. given a position geared to her strengths, she manned the imperial propaganda machine with vigor. later, she was appointed moff of the darpa sector. she became renowned for her cruelty and calculated methods.﹟ loss of her eye. during her occupation of ralltiir, rebel forces attempted to assassinate her. while this effort proved futile, it unintentionally caused a massive explosion that al trel was caught in. it resulted ultimately in the loss of her left eye.﹟ escaping punishment. upon hearing word of the destruction of the second death star, and the death of the emperor, the moff quickly went into hiding, knowing that the rebels were out for blood. for several years, she was a ghost.﹟ execution. 11 years after the fall of the empire, pienna al trel was caught by new republic officers, and was subsequently put on trial for her litany of war crimes. she was executed in late 11 aby.
