CLICK SPOILER LINK BELOW FOR BIOS See more Zelenia Name Zelenia Organization Sith fallen turned Dark Jedi Force-sensitive YES Lightsaber Lavender Purple Specialty Uses the dark side of the Force, cartilaginous skeleton heightened flexibility Species Vahla About the species The Vahla were a nomadic, near-Human species who roamed the galaxy in search of their homeworld. They were tall and slender, and possessed cartilaginous skeletons, which gave them exceptional flexibility. All were Force-sensitive, and they were regarded as having a natural shrewdness about them. Many Vahla belonged to a dark side-cult called the Ember of Vahl, and all Vahla were expected to heed the dictates of the cult's central coven. - Homeworld Lost Vahla homeworld - Language Vahla - Extra Details Believe in a goddess named Vahla BIO Zelenia was born and raised in the highly religious culture of Vahla, where the Dark Side of the Force is worshiped. Born with ashy-white hair and fairer skin than most, she was blessed for her resemblance to the Vahla deity the Goddess Vahl. Zelenia, like most Vahlas, was highly force sensitive, and was enrolled in the Sith Order at a very young age for training. She was taught to use the sheer rawness of her emotions in order to deepen the connection to the Force, and fuel her power. She trained under a Master who was cruel, often manipulating her emotional state in order to produce results. He was constantly unhappy with her performance, despite constantly proving her extraordinary abilities to him. He became unhealthily obsessed with her, and soon began to resort to violence to battle his desire for her. That is, until he couldn't resist her any longer, and forced himself on her. He raped and violated her, and when she tried to escape, he chained her in a dungeon. In his confinement, he tortured and abused Zelenia, trying to get her to agree to marry him. When she relentlessly refused, after months of failed attempts, he banished her from the Sith Order, and sold her to a slave dealer. She was stripped of her lightsaber, and enslaved as property. She was soon after sold to a slum crime lord, who used her beauty and good looks to make money. He used her as a slave dancer, and promised her freedom if she performed willingly and made triple her purchase fee. She ended up earning more money in week than three dancers combined, and was able to offer him her pay-back after just 10 days. When he refused to free her without having sex with her, something in Zelenia changed. She became enraged, and for the first time, was able to yield the energy of the force in her palm without the use of a lightsaber. Completely confused with uncontrollable anger, she slayed the crime lord, and freed the slaves. Zelenia, now free, returned to the Sith Order and surprised her Master by murdering him. She crucified his naked body, castrated him, replaced his eyeballs with his testicles, and stuffed his own phallus down his throat. All this to send a message a lot of people were about to die. Taking back the lightsaber he had taken from her, Zelenia went on a killing rampage which would later become known as the Sith Slaughter. Full chaos broke out in the facility, and by the time Zelenia was done, she had killed over 200 people, freed over three dozen, and had successfully escaped. Once the news spread across the nations, Zelenia had become a sort of antihero to many communities, including her own. She became widely known as Dark Jedi Vahla and not as an evil Sith, but now as a passionate freedom fighter. In proving to the universe that raw emotions and darkness could be used in a twisted tale of good faith, Zelenia not only redefined her religion, but triggered a public galactic anarchy against both the Sith and Jedi Order. Eris Full-Size Image Link Name Eris Organization NA Force-sensitive YES Lightsaber White Specialty Highest midichlorian count since the creation of Anakin Skywalker over 20,000 per cell, extreme destructive power when using the Force Species Echani About the species - The Echani were a Near-Human species from the Inner Rim world Eshan. The Echani had anatomy similar to humans, but a common feature was that they had light skin, white hair and silver eyes. They exhibited among themselves a remarkable sameness in body type and facial traits. It was believed that the Echani were a result of Arkanian experimentation with the Human genome, a theory which could explain the resemblance among these members of the species. - Homeworld Eshan - Extra Details Exceptional fighters, warriors, and tactical combatants BIO Eris is a young female character who's existence was first brought to the conscious of Yoda when one stormy night 21 years ago there was a massive disturbance in the Force that was so immense, it awoke nearly an entire community of force-sensitives across the universe. This was the birth of Eris, soon to be known as one of the most powerful Force users in the universe since Anakin Skywalker. It is estimated that her midichlorian count is in excess of over 20,000 per blood cell. This would make Eris not only the first female to possess such power, but it would also make her the first Force user in the history of the Echani race a race that is not force-sensitive. Eris is the product of genetic testing by the infamous intellects, the Arkanians. Arkanians, also not force-sensitive, have been known for their crazy experiments, and are rumored to have even created the Echani species. Through a series of years-long tests and genetic engineering, the Arkanians have secretly found a way to increase midichlorian counts in blood cells through an infusion process, which would enable species with low-counts, to then have the potential to use the Force. The experimentation, all illegal and conducted in secrecy, failed for the better half of a century, until there was a breakthrough with a Human surrogate who was impregnated with an Echani-bred fetus, specially test-tube engineered with high resilience to survive the experiments. When the surrogate a Human containing already high midichlorian counts was given a DNA-enhancement infusion, her midichlorians began to duplicate. Slowly at first, and then suddenly increasing in speed lodging the body into a critical antibody reaction, which then caused the blood cells to begin to multiply at an incredible rate. Within minutes of the infusion, the pregnant female began to convulse and objects began to launch across the room. The infusion caused an inexperienced force-user to quickly turn into an uncontrollable, unstoppable force. Before anyone could administer any sort of treatment, the facility was in chaos, and the patient surrogate was dying. With her vitals through the roof, she was flat-lining on the table. Her body and her baby were beginning to mutate. Within seconds of the sudden destructive telekinesis, the surrogate physically detonated, leaving an enormous Force-powered explosion that blew the facility to pieces. Leaving hundreds dead, millions of force-users awoke to a deep and troubling disturbance in the Force . Adara Name Adara Status Organization Royalty Princess, pureblood Force-sensitive NO Specialty Immune to most diseases and toxins Species Arkanian About the species - The Arkanians were a near-Human species which resided primarily on the frozen planet of Arkania. Arkanians considered themselves the pinnacle of evolution, and as such many were distinctly arrogant. Arkanian scientists had been experts in genetic manipulation for millennia, and by the time of the Mandalorian Wars the species had been split into many sub-species, making it hard to determine exactly what a baseline Arkanian was. Most could pass for Human, though the most pure of blood had pure white eyes and four clawed digits on each hand. Arkanians were capable of seeing into the infrared spectrum, and their eyes were sensitive to sources of extreme heat. This was helpful on their dark and frigid homeworld, but when traveling offworld, many were forced to wear blinders on planets with hotter, younger suns. It was also not unusual for an Arkanian to enhance themselves with internal andor external cybernetics. It was also standard practice for Arkanians to undergo genetic manipulation of their own bodies, enhancing themselves so as to be better than lesser species. - Homeworld Arkania - Language Arkanian - Extra Details Possess extreme intelligence, have four-clawed hands, and are able to see into the infrared spectrum BIO Adara is a noble woman formally known as Princess Adara of Arkania or as Adara of the House of Adasca. She is a leading member of the Adasca family, who are very wealthy noblemen made up of Arkanian purebloods. The Adasca family is responsible for a large majority of planetary profits. The House of Adasca founded and run the Adasca BioMechanical Corporation of Arkania or known simply as Adascorp, which is a vast medical corporation famous for its bioengineering and medical research. The family as well as their corporation have strong influence in the Arkanian Dominion government. The family is also responsible for the ancient capital, Adascopolis, which strictly segregates Arkanian Offshoots non-purebloods from the city. The House of Adasca was known for their involvement with many organizations on and off Arkania. Recently, Adascorp had entered a mutual agreement with several scientific and political powerhouses all searching for the same thing disease immunity. Since the Arkanians had garnered a reputation for genetic mutation, a cure for many common disease and poisons was on the horizon. It took several years and countless failed tests before the species engineered any sort of definitive vaccine, but they did. Before the vaccine could be finalized, approved, and mass-produced for the general public, a security breach left the facility crippled. Military-grade spies broke into the medical research facility and proceeded and outward attack on the building. Shooting dead anyone that got in their way, the team of intruders moved quickly and violently to capture their target the vaccine. With the facility surrounded, and nowhere left to run to or hide, the Head of Adasca, Adara's father, was left trapped with nothing but a single vial of the antidote, and his daughter. In a desperate attempt to save his company's breakthrough, the royal leader stabbed the vial into Adara's arm, and injected her with the vaccine. When the intruders broke into the room only to discover the vaccine was lost in the body and blood of the Arkanian noblewoman, the masked men kidnapped the royal Princess and escaped. Skyhawk Full-Size Image Link Name Kanara known as Skyhawk Status Organization Wanted Criminal Force-sensitive YES Untrained Lightsaber None Specialty For-Hire, psychometry ability to read the memories of objects, including dead corpses Species Kiffar-Human mix About the species - The Kiffar were a species of Near-Humans from the planet Kiffu. About one in a hundred Kiffar had the ability to read the memories of inanimate objectsincluding formerly animate objects like corpsesby touch, an ability known as psychometry. It was not, however, normal for a Kiffar to be able to read the living. Visually, they were comparable to any Human except for their distinct facial markings. These markings, called qukuuf, applied as tattoos when young, were passed down through families on the mother's side, except for on those rare occasions where an individual's mother was not a Kiffar, in which case the father's markings were taken on. - Homeworld Kiffu - Language Basic - Extra Details One in one hundred possessed psychometry, force-sensitive, facial tattoos BIO Kanara is a Kiffar-Human mix, who was abandoned by her mother as an infant. She spent most of her upbringing bouncing from orphanage to orphanage. The instability caused her to develop into a child troublemaker and later into a delinquent. By her late teens, Kanara was mostly homeless and poor, and lived off of the streets of the Coruscant underworld. She predominant grew into a lifestyle of general crime, adhering to the many criminal ways of Slum District G17 area of the underworld that contained bars, cabarets, gang hangouts, gun market, etc.. Despite her upbringing, Kanara was extremely intelligent, cunning, and charming, and used these characteristics to build a reputation for herself as a legitimate criminal. Known mostly for her skills in thievery, Kanara became a wealthy and prominent figure in the Coruscant underworld and became a popular choice For-Hire. By her 20s, Kanara had become known as Skyhawk and after stealing extreme valuables and for her involvement in organized crime, earned her name onto a Most Wanted list. Having little knowledge of her roots other than the facial tattoos her mother left her, Kanara discovered her Kiffar ancestry at a young age, since she was highly force-sensitive, and was able to see and feel memories and emotions from inanimate objects. Living mostly on her own, Kanara self-taught herself the unique ways of psychometry, without the use of formal training. This ability became a key aspect in her life as well as her criminal career giving her the upper hand in many facets of the underworld. Kanara is extremely difficult to catch, as she is mainly untraceable due to her disconnected upbringing. Because she has no family, little to few friends, and no legitimate legal identity, she is known mostly as a virtual ghost to society. She is a barely recognizable face among a city containing millions of individuals. Those who tracked her knew simply that she was female, near-human, and that she was referred to as Skyhawk. But, to Kanara's dismay, she was accidentally captured on a private security camera, one which she failed to disconnect on a job. Unfortunately, in the photograph, Skyhawk's face is covered from the eyes down, and she is hooded. The photo is also of poor quality, but did manage to identify part of her forehead tattoo. Although her head was mostly covered by a big hood, the two circles above her eyebrows were foggily captured on the image, along with her distinct ghostly white irises. Damaris Full Size Image Link Name Damaris Status Organization Independent Flight Corp. IFC Force-sensitive YES Lightsaber None Specialty Exceptionally and reputable pilot Species Half Nautolan, Half Mirialan About the species - The Nautolans, sometimes referred to as the Nautiloids, were an amphibious humanoid species from the planet Glee Anselm. Nautolans possessed physiology common to amphibious species, including low light vision and excellent swimming skills. They stood an average of 1.8 meters, had smooth green, blue, or brown skin, and large black or dark maroon eyes with lids that were seldom used. They were capable of breathing underwater however, unlike other water-based species, Nautolans did not experience difficulties out of water. Nautolans possessed exceptional olfactory and pheromone-sensing skills, enhanced by head-tresses. These tendrils were used to detect the emotional state of another being, but were most effective underwater. Within Nautolan culture, the ability to sense pheromone changes was an essential part of the communication process. All Nautolans had fourteen sensory tentacles and multiple hearts, which were capable of beating separately. - Mirialans were a species of near-Humans native to the planet Mirial. Their appearance varied from yellow-green skin to paler skin very similar to many Humans. Mirialans were very flexible and agile, making them fast and formidable foes. The Mirialan people were religious and practiced a primitive understanding of the Force. They believed each individual's actions contributed to their destiny. A Mirialan would place a unique, often geometrically repeated tattoo on their face and hands to signify that they had completed a certain test or task, or achieved sufficient aptitude for a certain skill. The number of tattoos would thus often act as a good indicator of how mature andor skilled a Mirialan was. BIO Damaris is a leading member of the Independent Flight Corp. IFC, an organization and dedicated to extensive pilot training and specializing mainly in flight-for-hires. Pilots who are licensed through IFC are reputable pilots, praised for their practice under the Corp., which provides substantial training both in combat, and out, as well as using a wide range of different aircrafts. Within IFC, there are different levels of ranked pilots that work in a ladder-system. The higher the rank, the more trained and better you are. Full licensing highest rank takes years, and completion is incredibly difficult. Of those who enter IFC, only about 5 of them will graduate with full licenses. Those certified under IFC are considered some of the best pilots in the industry. Zrora Full-Size Image Link Name Zroza'krudu'duotta Zroza Status Organization Dark Knight Ex-Sith Force-sensitive YES Lightsaber Red Specialty Uses the dark side of the Force, exceptional combat, night vision Species Chiss Mix About the species - The Chiss were a tall, blue-skinned Near-Human civilization from the planet Csilla in the Unknown Regions, best known to most Humans as the people to which Grand Admiral Thrawn belonged. Due to the remote position of their home territory in the Chiss Ascendancy they remained largely an enigma to the rest of the galaxy, and contact with outsiders was limited even in the days of the Galactic Alliance. Homeworld Csilla Language Cheunh, Sy Bisti, Minnisiat, Other languages Extra details Not normally force-sensitive, good night vision BIO Zroza'krudu'duotta is a Chiss mix and anarchist commonly known as Zrora for short pronounced Z-roar-a. She is the leading founder of the anarchist mercenary group called the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are made up of fallen Jedis, Dark Jedis, and fallenestranged Sith who have rejected the ideologies of both the Jedi and Sith Order. They are force-users who do not identify solely to one Order or the other. They are extremists who are at war with corruption, as well as evil. All members of the Dark Knight organization share a united belief that one does not have to adhere strictly to one side of the force, or the other. Dark Knights believe both light and dark can be used together to achieve optimal meaning and use. Most Dark Knights have fallen from the Sith Order in order to escape its evil. Those who have fallen from the Jedi Order do not embrace evil, but rather, believe that the aggression-free and emotion-free ways of the Jedi are too weak, and not abrasive enough to create change. Amaranth Full-Size Image Link Name Amaranth Organization Floriq Clan Tribe Force-sensitive YES Lightsaber NA Specialty Blubber, low-light vision, underwater vision, exceptional hearing, agility Species Faunian Original Species About the species Original Content Faunians are a primitive humanoid species native to the planet Faunica. Faunica is a densely swamped planet within the Unknown Regions. It is most known for its stunning fauna and floral, which at night illuminate with the glow from the three orbiting moons. Although a small globe, Faunica is very rich in minerals and rare crystals. Since the new discovery of this planet and its valuable resources, it has been recently colonized by non-native species, organizations, and companies looking to profit or benefit from access to these lands. Although welcoming at first, the native Faunians have recently become unsettled with recent efforts to exploit their lands. Faunians are a fairly tall species, with the male average height nearing 7 feet, and females around 6 feet. Faunians have thick, smoothly-glossed skin that comes in varying shades of green. They have a thin layer of blubber under the surface of their skin, which allows them to withstand colder temperatures than the baseline human and most near-human species. Additional to this, both males and females are muscular and very agile. Faunians possess 3-digit fingers and a thumb on each hand, rather than the usual four. They have long animal-like ears that allow them exceptional hearing. Their eyes range in color from brown, to purple, to black, and are also capable of seeing clearly in dark, low-lighting as well as allow them the ability to see underwater and even in murky, swamp conditions. Because Faunica is situated outside the Mid Rim and even further than the Outer Rim, the culture and traditions of the Faunian species vastly deviates from formal galactic standards. They are not educated in the ideologies of the Force, and do not associate with Coruscant. Because of their distance from mainstream and unexplored region, they are not technologically immersed and live a simple, primal lifestyle. They are a very religious species, however will not divulge their beliefs to outsiders. However, it is known that Faunians are strict vegetarians, and do not eat the flesh of any sort of animal. Instead, their diets are made up of a wide assortment of local fruits and vegetables, as well as some animal by-products excluding eggs. BIO Amaranth is a localnative on planet Faunica. She is the leader of the Floriq Clan one of the many tribes of people among the lands. Faunians are very anal with their religion, and there is a strict no-tell rule pertaining to outsiders and their religious traditions. However, their tight-lipped behaviour is as a result of their connection with the Force. Many Faunians are force-sensitive, and those who have this connection to the Force, which they call Am'ma, are consider blessed and chosen by Am'ma, so more of these individuals are birth-right leaders. Amaranth would be one of those people. She is a respected leader because she has a deep connection with Am'ma, the Force, and because of this, she is very persuasive capable of controlling people to certain extents, as well as her abilities to sense and feel emotions of others. Because her culture worships this connection, she has practiced with the Force since she was a child, and is capable of telekinesis and some degree of mind control. All this knowledge, however, is kept hidden from outsiders. IDEAS Her role in the roleplay will heavily depend on the role of your character and what brings him to the Unknown Regional planet Faunica. Xenia Full-Size Image Link Name Xenia Organization NA Force-sensitive No Specialty Assassin and mercenary, exceptional archer and combatant Species Ferroan Posing as a Pantoran About the species Ferroans were pale-blue skinned humanoids with gold eyes. Most females had white hair but some had traditional black hair. They were from Ferro and had colonized the inner Ferro systems. They were known for their independence, reclusive manner, and for not often leaving their homes. A Ferroan year was equal to 3 standard years. On Zonama Sekot, they celebrated Uniting Day. They were the colonists of Zonama Sekot and believed in the Potentium. BIO Xenia is a professional archer who never misses her target. She is a mercenary and rarely, an assassin, who's identity to the galaxy is widely unknown. Because it is so rare for Ferroans to leave their native planet, Xenia never identifies herself as someone from Ferro. Instead, she is constantly faking her identity by posing as a Pantoran, and sometimes even a Wroonian. Although she does bear striking resemblance to both the Pantoran and Wroonian species, there is one distinct difference, and it is the shade of her eyes. Rather than yellow irises, Xenia has gold pigment in her eyes which glow in their saturated color. Aeza Name Aeza'veka Organization Club LUSH Force-sensitive YES Lightsaber None Specialty Exceptional singer and dancer Species Twi'lek About the species Twi'leks, sometimes referred to disparagingly as Tail-heads, were an omnivorous humanoid species originating from the planet Ryloth. They tended to eat cultivated molds, fungi, and rycrit meat. Their distinctive features included colorful skin, which varied in pigment from individual to individual, and a pair of shapely prehensile tentacles that grew from the base of their skulls. The tentacles, called brain-tails, lekku, tchun-tchin, or head-tails were advanced organs used for communication and cognitive functions. Twi'leks possessed a fairly standard humanoid vocal structure and were capable of learning most alien languages however, they usually preferred their native language of Ryl, which incorporated subtle movement of the lekku. When they wished, they could even communicate in complete secrecy using their versatile brain-tails. Twi'lek females were often used as slaves or dancers because of their beauty. BIO Club LUSH is one of the most infamous underground super clubs buried in the ever-growing black market of Coruscant. Having now become a center haven for illegal activity and unlawful negotiations, it is a high-end night club and bar harboring customers from crooks, to criminals, to even corrupt politicians. Club LUSH had them all. Despite its flagrant reputation, it is deemed virtually untouchable protected by its bound criminal ties and cemented fortunes. Many called it illegally legal, but still, it grew from a hole in the wall to a glorious empire. Now, it employed dozens of artists of various talents, from your typical exotic pole dancers and club singers, to aerial artists and accomplished musical groups - there was entertainment to suit many tastes. Though, one particular entertainer, a young Twi'lek named Aeza Ay-zah, had gained recent popularity among Club LUSH frequenters. She was was standard club singer, with incredible vocals and spellbinding and voluptuous movemenst. She as skilled with her voice as she was with her hips and her eyes - capable of rendering even the strongest of men completely smitten. Although locally acclaimed, she was not a free woman. Imprisoned to the owner of Club LUSH, a notorious drug lord known only by his street name Grim after becoming indebted to him, she was not a star, but a slave. Tazaria Full-Size Image Link Name Tazaria Tazmaniac Organization NA Force-sensitive No Specialty Assassin and mercenary, exceptional shooter and combatant Species Zeltron About the species Zeltrons were a near-Human species, made physically distinctive by their skin which came in different shades of red ranging from light pink to deep red, and hair which could be red or blue. Most of them were considered highly attractive by Human, near-Human, and even some non-humanoid standards. They possessed two biological traits of note. The first was that they all produce potent pheromones, similar to the Falleen species, which enhanced their attractiveness and likeability. The second was a limited telepathic ability, used to project emotions onto others, as well as allowing them to read and even feel the emotions of others some Zeltrons were hired by the Exchange for this ability. Because of their telepathic ability, positive emotions such as happiness, love and pleasure became very important to them, while negative ones such as anger, fear, or depression were shunned. BIO Many have described Tazaria, known only by the pseudonym Tazmaniac, as a psychopath. Since gaining recognition in the past few years for her insurmountable amount of kills, Tazmaniac has become one of the Most Wanted criminals and assassins in the Galactic region. Known most commonly by her trademark, a Gasglow smile , which she leaves on every single one of her victims. Also dubbed the Gasglow Killer, her kills normally of people who are of political or criminal significance. Although some victims may appear to be innocent citizens, investigations are consistently leading to secrets of the individual, normally revolving around themes of corruption, drug and sex trafficking, paedophilia, rape and hidden violence. Tzipporah Full-Size Image Link Name Tzipporah Organization NA - Blackmarket Coruscant Underground slums Force-sensitive Potentially Lightsaber NA Specialty Thievery, racing, BE, arms dealing Species Human BIO Tzipporah is a young Human female who's grown up in the slums of Coruscant. Orphaned as a baby, she has spent all of her life jumping from foster homes and orphanages. Constantly in and out of the system, Tzipporah lead a life juvenile delinquency which carried over to adulthood. At an early age she began down a path of petty crimes particularly with breaking and entering, trespassing, arms weapons dealing and trafficking, hover-racing and theft. However, recently, she has lost her license in driving or flying any sort of mechanical aircraft or automobile due to her extensive history in racing, speeding, and general criminal deviance. Tzipporah is always armed with a gun or blaster of some kind, as well as a pack of cigarettes. If not found in the blackmarket underground, she can be found zipping through the busy streets of Coruscant on a modified illegal hover-board . She is extraordinary stubborn, head-strong, and cunning. Her quick wit and daring personality have made her hard to catch and difficult to deal with. She is quite alternative in appearance, with bright red hair shaved on one side of her head, a nose ring, as well as her belly button, tongue and nipples pierced optional. Her fashion sense is normally a mix between punk-rock and grunge, which matches her taste in music. Despite her typical city scoundrel profile, she does possess two particularly unique characteristics 1 A large scar running over her eye and side of her face, and 2 her bionic arm. Pairings Because Tzipporah is such a versatile character, she can be paired with someone in virtually any role. Aside from the stereotypical Jedi or Sith pairing, she can also cross paths with other criminals, smugglers, pilotsdrivers, the Coruscant Security Force Coruscant Police law enforcement, bounty hunter, wealthy businessmen or property owner, etc. Someone could either be after her due to something she stole which she wouldn't realize was so valuable, or she could even cross paths with a random for example, get caught in a crossfire a fight of some sort. Although a criminal, she would never leave someone in need behind on the side of the road. I could also follow a sort of damsel in distress style plotline though she would be reluctant for help in which she is being targeted and your character intervenes. She could also be hunted down by someone due to her parents origins unknown to her. I'm open to ideas!
