<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/9YiYe4z.jpg)</div><strong>Player Name:</strong>mai<br/><br/><strong>Character Name:</strong>Ina'ris'aklaio (just call her Arisa)<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><br/><strong>Race:</strong>Chiss<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>170 cm (about 5'6")<br/><br/><strong>Weight:</strong>59 kg (about 130 lbs)<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Arisa is a young woman with the distinctive blue skin and glowing red eyes of the Chiss. She is of fairly average height and build, and can easily be overlooked were it not for her alien features. Her hair is a very dark blue (black, at first glance), and she wears it pulled back in a bun or ponytail. Typically she dresses in the brown or beige robes of the jedi, but when it is necessary to be more formal she tends to prefer earth tones and dull greens.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Arisa is utilitarian and goal-minded. She is very direct, often blunt, and believes strongly that if the correct position is properly articulated, there will be no disagreement from any life-form capable of logic with whom she might interact. Her strengths are therefore more tactical than diplomatic, and whatever reputation she has will be as a straightforward but resourceful problem-solver.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong>Arisa has been with the Jedi since she was very young, so her schooling and training is all but entirely with the Order. She has vague memories of her youth on Csilla, and can still speak Cheunh (although not especially well, other more cultured speakers will quickly spot her as unusual). As a Jedi, her strengths are more in her skills in sharp-eyed analysis and observation of a situation, which compensates for her relatively weak force-sensitivity. She is very good at spotting the point at which a little bit of pressure can topple a mountain, metaphorically speaking.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong>Arisa is not very strong with the Force. While she is force-sensitive, she's not likely to win any direct contests of strength. Additionally, her blunt nature and disregard for others' feelings can win her enemies more often than strictly necessary.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment | Attire:</strong>Arisa typically wears the brown and beige robes of the Jedi order, dressing comfortably and in clothes that will allow her to move freely. When she needs to dress in civilian attire, she tends to simple unadorned clothing, aiming to go as unremarked as possible. She fights with a fairly unusual lightsaber (green in color), but will carry a holdout pistol (an antique slug-thrower) hidden on her person when she knows she'll be up against other lightsaber users.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Pansexual, with a preference for humanoid women and a curiosity about non-humanoid aliens<br/><br/><strong>Sexual On's:</strong>Arisa regards sex, in the Jedi fashion, as a simple physiological need to be fulfilled. Accordingly, her sexual likes tend to be fairly workmanlike and vanilla by most beings' taste. That said, she is a kind and attentive partner, who always aims to please.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Off's:</strong>Arisa is turned off by emotional attachment, sexual play involving violence, pain, or any variety of waste excretion. She also looks suspiciously on any sexual act that incorporates using the force for sexual purposes.<br/><br/><strong>Personal History:</strong>As a child, Arisa was brought to Coruscant (and the Jedi Temple) from distant Csilla, the Chiss homeworld. The purpose at the time was a sort of cultural exchange, and she was one of a few force-sensitive youth sent to receive Jedi training (as the Chiss did not have a force-using tradition of their own). The other members of that particular mission are long gone, having moved on to other planets or returned to the Ascendency, but Arisa remained as a trainee and Padawan of the Jedi Order.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Arisa doesn't remember much of anything of her family back on Csilla. She's not exiled or banished, and so still has obligations to a clan and family according to the norms of Chiss society, but since she's been away so long she doesn't consider these obligations anything other than a general mandate to look out for the well-being of Chiss society as a whole (to the extent of her abilities, naturally being halfway across the galaxy from them she doesn't think about it much).<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/o0udXTd.png)</div><strong>Player Name:</strong>mai<br/><br/><strong>Character Name:</strong>Kaiya Besk<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><br/><strong>Race:</strong>Miraluka<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>173 cm (about 5'8")<br/><br/><strong>Weight:</strong>63 kg (about 140 lbs)<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Kaiya is a dark-skinned humanoid woman. Her most distinctive feature is the white hood she wears over her head (her hair is shaved or close-cropped, but is black when it grows in). As with all her species, she lacks eyes, having only vestigal eye-sockets where you might expect them. The hood, like the masks most Miraluka wear, is there to prevent the discomfort most other humanoid species experience when looking at an uncovered Miraluka face. Kaiya is slender but strong, and generally looks capable, albeit of average build.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Kaiya is a Jedi's Jedi. She lives and breathes the code, and accordingly has an obnoxiously meditative and even-tempered personality. Nevertheless, she remains willing to improvise (and even, surprising to most who know her, to bend rules when necessary). Kaiya is likely to talk of the living Force, and her attitude towards the Jedi is similar to that of a monk or priest towards a religion.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong>Kaiya is thoughtful and physically capable, and would be a proficient warrior and diplomat even without the assistance of the Force. She is strong in her beliefs, but is also a very good listener, perceptive both with and without the aid of the Force. Her greatest asset is her strength in the Force, she is unusually strong in it, for a student of her age. While the masters don't speak of her potential in the same terms that they use for Anakin Skywalker, she is considered likely to go far in the Order.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong>Kaiya is blind to anything that is not linked to the Force (since she uses the Force to see), and similarly is blind to the weaknesses and foibles of others. She is very trusting, and loyal even when the object of her loyalty does not deserve it. She is also somewhat naive about the galaxy outside the reach of the Republic (both physically and in the lower classes and underworld on Republic systems). She's not completely ignorant, but she doesn't really understand how bad things have gotten even under the nose of the Jedi Order on Coruscant.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment | Attire:</strong>Although she can often be found in the loose and flowing robes of the Jedi Order (Kaiya prefers white or light beige colors), she prefers to dress in simple shirts and pants that allow her maximum freedom of movement (think Luke in RotJ, but with more white rather than black color schemes). Her hood/mask, white with gold-thread trim, is her most distinctive garment, and she is rarely seen without it (although she will use a wrapping of white cloth, similar to a bandage, for situations where the hood seems too fancy or fine). Kaiya has recently constructed a saberstaff (both blades blue), which she is learning to fight with.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Pansexual, with a slight preference for humanoid women<br/><br/><strong>Sexual On's:</strong>Perhaps Kaiya's biggest personal diversion from Jedi dogma is that she does not regard love as a weakness as long as it is given without attachment. She is a generous and free lover, although not an especially adventurous one when it comes to the detail of the act. She does enjoy using the Force to link her sensation with her partners', a sort of mind-meld almost, which she feels heightens the experience for both partners.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Off's:</strong>Kaiya is turned off by any sexual act involving violence, pain, or any variety of waste excretion.<br/><br/><strong>Personal History:</strong>Kaiya was born on Alpherides, the adopted homeworld of the Miraluka. As most Miraluka are force-sensitive, her talent was recognized early, and she was trained as a Jedi almost from birth. She was only fairly recently sent to the temple on Coruscant to finish her training (the Jedi have a facility on Alpherides that can handle basic introductory training), and she has little experience with the galaxy outside of her experience as a Jedi Padawan.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Kaiya's parents and siblings (she has two little brothers) still live, although she knows little more about them than their names, since she's been training as a Jedi for almost all of her life.
