Lyn Farel is a capsuleer working for the Society of Conscious Thought as a member of Kitzless, a SoCT affiliated capsuleer corporation, and formerly Holder on an Ammatar world.

Early life

YC 89 to 95 : Childhood

Born in late YC 89 on the home planet of the Ammatar Mandate, Jarizza VI 'Halturzhan' Lynara Marya Farel was the illegitimate heir of the Farel House. Her mother was a local slave owner on Janus V (on the Milvus steppe archipelago), an arid planet in a remote solar system of the Mandate, where the Farel House had enjoyed fame and wealth in the whole constellation for decades, and followed very traditionalist and conservative views since the foundation of the Mandate. However, the last generations of owners saw the family wealth declining, and the glorious past of the House was gone forever when Marya Altarea Farel accessed to the regency of the whole domain.

Still enjoying the persistent fame surrounding the family, her mother managed to maintain an illusion in which Lynara Farel grew up and was educated properly, following amarrian standards to the letter. Destined to become the next holder in line despite her illegitimacy – due to her birth of an unknown father – she learned theology, religion, and the usual amarrian protocols, and was said to be very enthusiastic when it came to reading and learning.

Only child of her family, she was raised alone and never left the Farel estate. Apparently desperate enough to run away in her late sixth year, she took advantage of the first newcomers to come visiting the estate and managed to sneak aboard their planetary private shuttle. She then lied on her identity, probably to be sure not to be brought back to her mother. In fact, it is speculated that she seemed intelligent enough to understand the situation she was in regarding the decaying status of the House, and that her being the heir to the succession was in fact a kind of poisoned gift. The little known facts about her childhood show that she was raised in an insane entourage of courtiers she saw like scavengers around a mother that more and more people whispered to have lost her last piece of sanity.

The newcomers who picked her up, Alaxen Drej and Mei Lia Kypri, were actually both working as scholars and teachers in a local kitz of The Society, where they surprisingly took her in to be presented in SoCT schools.

YC 95 to 106 : Studies

Little is known about her long stay in the SoCT schools, where she spent her days studying and reading, her teachers apparently very pleased by her consuming curiosity.

After several years, they left her under the care of a tutor, with whom she left the school and started to move from place to place. That way, she experienced tours in the whole Amarr Empire for a while, before leaving for the Federation to learn in a partnership with the Caille University. She also briefly visited the State from time to time, accompanying her master.

Capsuleer history

YC 106 to 108 : Academy

In YC 106, Lynara Farel could have entered one of the Imperial capsuleer academies when her pod compatibility was discovered at the age of seventeen. But she favored the Republic Military School, a possible reason for doing so being to avoid any word of her to leak back to her mother in the Mandate, but more probably because she was still tied to the affairs of her master that were tooking place at this time in Republic space, on Pator. IAt her arrival in the Republic Military School, she chose to shorten her first name 'Lynara' to 'Lyn' in her public records.

It is speculated that the school accepted her in spite of her Ammatar origins due to the prestige and need of capsuleers the Republic was in.

YC 109 to 110 : Fight for Providence

Several months after having been licensed as a capsuleer, Lyn Farel started to run a small intelligence agency, the Ubiqtorat, along with two other Amarr affiliated loyalists. They were noticed for their restless implication in the establishment of the NRDS - policy she is known to believe in - in the region of Providence, and the colonization of said region at the side of the Aegis Militia alliance and their allies. They saw the end of the war against the forces of the Ushra'Khan and their ensuing withdrawal out of the region.

The agency grew more influential in the local politics by being granted the executorship of the Aegis Militia and acted toward its establishment as a new Holder member of the CVA in the Q-6LG1 constellation. As the time passed, it appeared the agency left the alliance and went dormant for obscure reasons, even if some speculated their goal was accomplished and thus they had no more reasons to exist as an entity in itself.

YC 110 : NRDS enforcement in Solitude

Apparently not ashamed to leave the service of the Amarr Empire loyalists to a Gallente Federation affiliated corporation operating in Solitude, Lyn Farel joined the Takagi Corp where she fought against the piracy that was crippling the whole region. She quickly got promoted for her actions as a fleet commander.

It seems she left several months after a severe argument with the corporation the 10.16.

A few days after her mother died of an unknown genetic blood disease at her estate on Janus V. Lyn Farel eventually decided to take the succession and became the new head of the Farel House, using her own capsuleer resources to rehabilitate the property.

YC 111 to 113 : The 24th Imperial Crusade

After her delusions in Solitude and her return in the imperial space, she joined the 24th Imperial Crusade, and founded with the help of an old unionist Khanid veteran a corporation dedicated to the defense of the amarrian systems falling into the Militia Emergency Power Act, and promoting a new breed of cyberknight martial arts doctrine to the capsuleer milieu.

The remote headquarters were raided one year later by a group of terrorists from The Bloody Hands of Matar, and the CEO was blamed by a few influent Khanid politicians to have done nothing to prevent the attack. The corporation was closed and its spared assets seized.

Lyn Farel then joined the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown, a liberal amarrian corporation, where she pushed further her involvement in what she refered to as 'defending the statu quo'. She also got promoted to a Divine Commodore rank for the years dedicated to her duty.

She eventually left the corporation a few months before its closing, and also abdicated from her noble status under a growing pressure coming from neighboring holdings. She entrusted her own holdings to a fellow capsuleer and Amarrian Holder, Nicoletta Mithra.

YC 114 and today

Taking some detachement and thinking on her involvement in a war she always considered as pointless, Lyn Farel eventually got back to her SoCT affiliated roots, and created her own research corporation, Extropian Technologies. The corporation is not aimed at making profit or growing in numbers but rather at developping innovative and cutting-edge technologies, in the lines of the colossal work they achieved by creating the New Eden Infosphere VR in Yulai, trying to gather every piece of knowledge possible collected by humanity to this day. A few other indisclosed projects are still worked on to this day.

Lyn Farel recently joined a Society of Conscious Thought affiliated project under the name of Kitzless, adapting the concept of Kitz to capsuleer and acting as a think-tank entity as well as a cutting-edge research institute and science organisation. It was only then that she revealed publicly her affiliation to the SoCT, that she never stopped working for.

Political views

Lyn Farel has always been quite distant of the intergalactic spotlight, especially in her first years as a capsuleer, maybe acting in her own way to defend the ideals she believes in. She has never stated clearly what are her precise political beliefs but she is undoubtedly very liberal, progressive and open-minded, and strive for science and progress through galactic stability and synergy, explained by her deep respect for CONCORD and the Yulai convention.

When still working for the Amarr Empire, she had to face several minor accusations of heresy for her unorthodox theological theories about 'the Truth' and the essence of God, though she has always been protected by her noble and capsuleer status. It is also noticeable as a new full fledged noble, she decided in the early days of YC 113 to release the major part of the slaves that were still under the control of her House, and then to buy all the ones that had been sold to refund the old debts gathered in the last decades, to finally set the slaves free. She entrusted the fate of some of them to another capsuleer and republic loyalist, Sakura Imoru. Her very loose and liberal managing methods as the house head were frowned upon by many ammatar neighbors, but it seems that the few remaining personnel of the old Farel House still hold her in high esteem.

A few of her commentaries might also suggest she strongly believes in an 'Ascensionist theory'.

Physical appearance

Lyn Farel appears to be very frail and subject to cycling temporary physical weakness that might be caused by the same disease that afflicted her mother.

Due to her education, her manners are usually very delicate, polite and aristocratic.
