About

Hailing from Limsa Lominsna coming from a long line Maelstrom Naval heroes Orianna Vossan is the first born daughter of Vice Storm Marshal Edgar Vossan and mother Damia. With siblings Kallista (younger sister) and Amnon (youngest brother). Growing up in a military household Orianna was always at the military office with her father. In her free time she was practicing her skills with firearms or tinkering with something be it clocks or old pistols and rifles she was always working on some kind of machine-like object. Life was always peaceful for her and her family growing up as a child in The Mist. Regular family days, vacations to other city-states, and always the family dinners almost on the nightly basis. She refers to those days as some of the simplest times that she wishes to return to.The Maelstrom
Once she was 35 she enlisted into the Maelstrom Grand Company falsifying her paperwork she managed to get through basic training without someone in brass catching on to her false papers. After her father found out she was sent to cutting her teeth on guard duty, the eventual excursion here and there, and the occasional joint training operations she found herself achieving the rank of Storm Sergeant Second Class in the Scouting Corps at the age of 40 for her willingness to adapt, learn, and overcome overwhelming odds. After leading her small squad on a flank during a training exercise she was awarded the Maelstrom Medal of Leadership for her quick witted and cunning ability to lead and rally troops on a two pronged flank.Life in the Maelstrom was everything she wanted. Exciting, always having something to do, and enjoying life to the fullest at her young age. At the age of 43 she resigned to a new post under the Eorzean Alliance to build relations between the Grand Companies with a primary directive on scout training naturally that came with a promotion to Chief Sergeant. Being the daughter of a well known high ranked Maelstrom officer Vossan gladly accepted the post.Blood, Honor, and War
All seemed well until the war truly broke out with the Garlen Empire and invaded Ala Mhigo in 1557 of the Sixth Astral Era when she was 60. Since then it was a mixture of non-stop field operations all while tinkering with anything she could get her hands on. Taking a few classes here and there in the field but nothing concrete to solidify a full time position in the Magitek Engineering Corps.Sometime later in the Seventh Umbral Era around year 2 she went full time in the Magitek Engineering Corps with another promotion to Second Lieutenant. However as the war effort raged on and dire situations required creative solutions she was reassigned back to the Scouting Corps under the condition anytime not spent in the field for various operations Operations of note that she was on include Spearhead where she was inserted deep in The Peaks of Gyr Abania to establish a forward operating base so the Eorzean Alliance can being other operations. And Operation Premature Detonation where she was sent into the Fields of Dust, on foot, undercover to destroy the large gun batteries as a precursor to the events of Ghimlyt Dark where she lost one of her longest and closest friends, Zara Hyloran, a duskwight woman who she was side by side with throughout her time in service.Settling Down? Perhaps Not
Finally as her years of Maelstrom service had ended as she reached the rank of Captain, the 68 year old Viera finally had her freedom to do as she wished with no ties to anything besides her honor and her guns. After moving to Shirogane to enjoy her retirement she found herself bored as she had nothing to do with retiring after 30 years of service. She started working on developing Magitek Engines under Maelstrom's Magitek Research and Development Team with the idea to use hybrid fuel sources from cerulean with crystal dust. Her tests have been mostly successful since she has started and is currently working on building an airship of her own to fly the skies.

ACTIVITY

1.0 and The Calamity
Being a product of the Maelstrom the at the time Sergeant Orianna Vossan was tasked in the scouting corps after cutting her teeth for a few years in Limsa Lominsa and neighboring areas helping the local population and protecting assets along the way. As the events of Cartenu neared day by day her Officers tasked her and those around her to take on hit and run missions to weaken the advancement of the Garlean Empire. Sadly as Buhamat was summoned there was nothing she could do. Being powerless to stop the Calamity, her and her entire battalion was at Cartenu watching as the world almost ended, first hand. Her drive to take down the Garlean Empire only grew after the events that ensued.A Realm Reborn and Seventh Astral Era
Being active duty in the Maelstrom she opted to double her work. Offering up her talents again to the scout corps with the war with the Garlean Empire still raging on all while furthering the Department of Magitek Engineering. During the events of Operation Archon Orianna was on stand-by for any Garlean deserters and tasked to eliminate anyone in a Garlean uniform. And eliminating them she did. Orianna ended up taking out a dozen Garleans as they tried fleeing back to their closest base of operations. And taking an accommodation for her marksmanship. Later in life during an interview she would hold some remorse as she did shoot non-combatants but her cold emotions in the time had no issue breaking the laws of conventional warfare in the moment. This guilt of hers holds her heavy after meeting several former Garlean soldiers in her later career.
After some R&R and receiving news about the Doman people revolting across the world she takes her squad in for some siege tactics training to prepare for the pending Alliance invasion with the Crystal Braves getting everyone up to speed on Alliance standard operating procedures. With her training shortly after the summoning of Leviathan she and her squad assisted the Scions of the Seventh Dawn on taking the beast down on the Whorleater. With her squad all returning safely she takes her squad back to do more training for the eventual invasion.Heavensward and Post-Heavensward
With the news of the Sicons making it safely to the Gates of Judgment in the Holy See of Ishgard coming from High Command of the Maelstrom she can finally take a moment for herself. She met a woman by the name of Lyssia Kreig earlier in her life. Slowly they made time for each other and got married. Weeks into their marriage Lyssia's true colors showed. Turns out she was an assassin sent by Garlamald just as Orianna thought the war was about to be over she was dragged back into it. After dispatching her now ex-wife and renouncing her vows she set her sights on the end of the war. Long days of training and nights of working in the shop with the engineers kept her busy until the eventual offensive. During a war-game training exercise with the other Grand Companies Orianna landed herself yet another award in valor as she led her squad holding a position holding off the Immortal Flames and Twin Adders with just her 8 person squad.
At the homecoming of the Scions, Orianna was still not sold on their innocence, yet the committed crime was more suspicious than anything and the ones who were caught and apprehended were more problematic in her view. Now with the tides of war shifting and sailing to the Far East Orianna starts to gear up with her squad as she is tasked leading expeditionary forces for the Alliance.Stormblood
With the Doman and Ala Mhigan uprising beginning, so did the travel to the Far East for Orianna. As the events in the region kick off quickly Orianna quickly gets to her mission objective in destabilizing the Imperial Warmachine. Her first matter of business took her to The Peaks and The Fringes, in which Maelstrom High Command tasked her to eliminate a handful of Garlean officers to knock out their chain of command. After about what she calls ‘a dozen or so’ officers sent to an early afterlife with the impeccable marksmanship of Lieutenant Vossan. After the many HVT targets were eliminated she became a thing of fear around the Castrums in the region.She was given the name ‘The White Heart of Ala Mhigo’ after placing a white rose in the entrance wound on each target. As the fear of assassination a very real thing in the chain of command of the Garlean Warmachine part one of her mission objective was complete.
As her initial mission objective was complete she moved on to secondary and tertiary objectives. First up on that docket, moving into the Field of Dust and establishing a position for overwatch to monitor the activity to prepare for the upcoming operation. After the preparations were complete Orianna and her squad was tasked to infiltrate the Field of Dust and destroy the gun batteries at the site. With the field free of the major weapons out of the way the Alliance was able to continue the events of Operation: Gimlyet Dark in which Orianna was tasked to provide fire support at a vantage point and eliminate any fleeing Garlean soldiers, again. As the night comes to a close she packs her bags and heads back to Alliance headquarters in Doma for further orders.
Several uninspiring missions later the war in the Far East came to a close.
The newly promoted Captain Orianna Vossan was about to hit terminal leave and decided Kugane was where she wanted to retire. She purchased her home in the Far East with her then wife and prepared herself to enjoy her first moment of freedom after her retirement. Sadly not everything was aces as her now late wife, Nuri tragically passed away. Now sitting in her new home, alone she spends the next while alone in her shop designing, building, and testing new devices to help save lives on the frontlines in the eventual conflicts to eventually come.Shadowbringers
With the quiet years to come she would finally relax after the completion of her own personal airship the Revalation she took it upon herself to look for the next adventure. That adventure would be known as the 'Dawn Aegis Days' it was here where she met her next tragic love, Minna. A blonde hired Rava who showed the retired veena there is so much to love and do in the world.
While things were nice for a time there was a day where Minna left their home. With just a note. reading 'I have gone off to find the sound of my soul. I love you.' The note was a dagger in the heart. She spent months trying to find her trail to no avail. She slowly accepted this as punishment for the slew of war crimes she committed over the war. She slowly grew bitter of the Dawn Aegis to where she had several outbursts at leadership and left the organization, burning most the bridges there in the process.
All was not for loss. In that time she did meet a certain 'meddling security guard' who would ulitmately introduce her to her future wife, Altansarani Odtsetseg. Though Altansarani she would learn the traits of loving many deeply. Later she adds Thoja'nnom Serai (and her partner Bree Serai). Over the next passage of time she would come to know and love her new found partners as she learns the way of the many. Over that time she would find her logistics and manufacturing company, Vossan and Company Arms Logistics Incorporated. In where she spends more time dealing and trafficking's weapons and information to and from the highest bidder.
