[Players Chosen] Do You Have What It Takes To Join The Nameless Legion?

The man with the probe
Ok Harvey, Hope you like her. Here's Shadow. I haven't finished with the minute equipment details (tools, misc gear, potions, ect), but that's not a bid deal. Backstory and crush was more important. ColdTac still needs 4 psionic powers, but I'll probably get those in there shortly.
I'm torn between Shadow and Coldtac (Post 41), so I'll let you pick which one you like as my primary. Honestly, I'd love to play them both. Shadow is my first real psion, and should be a lot of fun to RP as well as tease opponents. ColdTac will let me embrace my tactical side, and can dish out some serious damage (Without a cleave, he can inflict over 150 damage a round to multiple opponents, possibly over 200 if he's lucky).
Appearance: Shadow is a mysteriously beautiful woman. Lithe and well proportioned, her dirty blonde hair flows straight just past her shoulders. Emerald green eyes peer out from an elegantly cared face. She has obvious line drawing tattoos on her hands, which continue along her the outsides of her arms and legs, as well as a design in the small of her back. Her clothing is often tight fitting and somewhat revealing, but always well cared for and often having themes of black.
Background: Shadow is a bit of a legion oddity. Skilled in stealth and infiltration, but not well suited for deep cover work. She’s a psion, but not a fairly strong or focused one. Her skills would fit her as an assassin, but her general demeanor doesn’t suit them well. Not skilled in the ways of nature, she still is a good scout. So, for better or worse, she ended up in the Storm Howlers despite lacking the ability to permanently fly.
Despite being out of place, Shadow is well named. Known for her ability to disappear in an instant even in the open, and torment her adversaries from the shadows, whether real or thrust upon them with her mind. She has a varied repertoire of physical and mental attacks that makes her dangerous, as you can’t predict what she’ll do next, and she’s capable of handling most situations.
Her personality however, doesn’t quite fit with the legion. When not working, Shadow is perhaps best described as bubbly. She’s a very happy go lucky kind of gal, who can and will talk with just about anyone. Fiercely loyal, she makes friends and has connections in just about every cadre.
Unfortunately, being quite visible off duty made her an easy target for rumors. Recently she was transferred to the Thoughts of War cadre in a very irregular move. Well know that she bounced around in her initial training, some thought it was a simple realignment as she had begun to train her mind further. A more popular rumor is that she was involved with one of the higher ranking officers (Commander or captains) of the Storm Howlers, and was transferred when the relationship soured. Now other rumors have surfaced about her, such as her being transferred out of the Unspoken Ones because she took too well to whoring and missed her objective. Another of how she was abused while begging to be a recruit. Yet another where she hidden and abandoned her lance to die on a mission. There were others, nasty rumors which have alienated her from most of her friend and much of the rest of the legion.*
Determined and much more resilient than she is given credit for, he has withstood the rumor mill that has become her life in the legion, and hopes to dispel the myths about her.
*[sblock]The truth of the rumors:
- She does not know anything before she was recruited, but rumors of abusing new recruits before they are wiped is nothing new, and deep down she feels this is just that, a rumor. But she has no way to be sure.
- She was never in the Unspoken Ones beyond a few weeks training where they evaluated her as a potential candidate. Her brief infiltration work in the underworld was as a beggar and a cutpurse, and had nothing to do with prostitution.
- On a mission gone wrong, she was scouting out a location when the rest of her lance was ambushed. She returned just in time to found out what happened, and was able to save some of her lance mates. She was investigated and eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, and eventually information she gathered from that ambush and earlier scouting was used to take down a den of hags. However, she was reassigned to another lace after this incident.
- She was involved with Flip, an elven favored soul, and Captain in the Storm Howlers. She saw it as nothing serious, but Flip became obsessed and controlling. When she called it off, Flip was infuriated. Shortly afterwards, the nastier rumors started popping up more frequently (Flip had a few connections with other cadres, particularly the Sons of Shadow.)
- While Flip was anxious to get rid of her, one of her psionic mentors and friends, Talon, a Psionic Fist and Egoist, as well as warchief of some renown, felt bad for her and pulled some strings to get her into the Thoughts of War.[/sblock]
Edit: Updated her gear and alignment. She's all set

Actually it was Elocin and then me copying and pasting his format for my character.

First Post
Character is done. I was in a hurry so some of the details might be off, but the general idea is definitely there. I can flesh out more of the background and such also.
As a preference thing, I'd rather not be in the same Lance as the psion/constructor if that scenario comes up. I played with a constructor in tabletop and that character totally dominated everything and it wasn't much fun to play alongside.
