Nina on shore leave

# Captain Nina Fox

Nina studied biology from the time she was old enough to read, then xenobiology once she entered school. After graduating early, she joined The First Order and quickly moved to the rank of captain, then Chief Medical Officer soon after.

## Early Life

Nina was born the elder in a set of twins whilst her parents were escaping from Imperial remnants looking to snuff out Rebels.

As she and her brother aged, they were educated in various subjects from mathematics and other core fields as well as gunnery, hand to hand and knife skills. Her brother didn't like learning the skills for battle but became a skilled marksman while Nina herself exceled at hand to hand and learned to wield various blades with precision.

They moved several times, always to avoid those who wanted them gone. This never stopped her from learning, however. She was curious by nature so read everything she could lay hands on and was soon very interested in biology and engineering but felt pulled more to helping people than building things that could possibly hurt them. Her parents were delighted when she explained she wanted to be a doctor.

When threats of the Empire turned into threats of The First Order, Nina became curious about them. They said they wanted to help people and planets flourish and that peaked her interest very much. It seemed to be exactly what she needed. Her parents disagreed with her, telling her the Order was no better than the Empire; they just had a fresh coat of paint on them. This caused a falling out between she and her parents and Nina left home as a teenager and joined The First Order of her own free will.

## Life Starting in the First Order

Initially, Nina forged her medical documents to get in and hide her status as a half Theelin with some cosmetic surgery, explanations of vitiligo and telling people she dyed her hair.

While going through the training program and being a resident to the head physician, Nina found a mouse droid hidden in a broom closet. It was badly damaged but not irreparable so she spent several days and hours of her free time repairing the little droid. Once it was finished, she painted a caduceus on it's top, making the knob at the top of the staff into a little First Order symbol and named the droid Patient Zero, (Zero for short) as it was the first thing she 'healed' on her own.

## Transfer and Life Aboard the Finalizer

Shortly after gaining her Captain's stripes, she was transferred onto the Finalizer and made the ship's Chief Medical Officer.

No idea how anyone even found out about her hidden heritage, she discovered she'd been brought on not only due to her skills but also due to something called the Xeno Inclusion Program. Or at least that's what she thought it was called. It didn't matter to her. It just meant she didn't have to hide anymore. She was free to bare her fangs at people who displeased her and not be questioned on her sharp canines.

She settled in quickly, Patient Zero at her heels, and quickly discovered most of her fellow officers were idiots. Reckless, thoughtless and generally chaotic, she wasn't sure how many of them had survived this long. Still, she took proper care of their injuries and illnesses all while calling them out on their idiocy.

## Appearance

Nina and her twin were born with white hair and eyes, gaining their proper hair colour at a week old: Nina a soft blue and her brother a vibrant red, both with acid green eyes.

Her skin is pale and splotched with darker spots from her Theelin heritage. Along her hair line near her pointed ears are three small scars on each side from having her small horns taken off before she joined The First Order. Her lips are plush and hide sharp teeth behind an innocent expression.

## Personality

Nina has always been headstrong and independent. This has occasionally gotten her in trouble with teachers and superiors but that never slowed her down.

Always fearless, even in the face of someone twice her height, several of her friends and crew members sometimes referred to her as a Nexu. It gained her the nickname *Captain Nexu,* but no one had yet dare call her that to her face.

She could be rather macabre, one of her hobbies being collecting organs from various species, another being taxidermy and a third being cleaning bones and putting the skeleton back together. In her office she had a 'model' skeleton that no one knew, but some suspected, was an actual human skeleton held together with wire.

She carried a scalpel on her at all times and was known to brandish it at people as well as use it to point in general. Only once did she have to use it in defense of herself and that fool would forever carry a scar from eye to just by his jugular for his misstep.
