FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, untrained.

APPEARANCE:
Nyri would be unremarkable by Echani standards if not for her abnormal height. Ducking through doors has been an issue for her in her hometown and, depending on what world she visits, it can become unbearable on some new planets. Her eyes and hair, standard for her race, are both silvery gray. Her fingers are marked by scars and cuts, and in some places she has cut deep enough to damage nerve connections. These cuts look as though they might be from combat, however they're not, they're from cooking mistakes.

She tends to wear leather almost exclusively. She enjoys the fashion of it and likes to mix up designs as much as possible when she can, but keeps the material leather.


ATTRIBUTES:
Nyri considers herself to be an excellent cook, and she is as long as you do not consider 'safety' to be a vital skill within the realm of cooking. Though her main skill is not her main profession. Her job, and wherein her trained skills lie, is in criminal investigation. She is an accurate long range shot due to her composure, but really isn't a great quickdraw. Her sword skills vastly outpace her blaster abilities, though that's mainly because she enjoys practicing with the blade. Like many, she only gives her time to things that actively interest her.

Nyri is an adequate driver and knows enough to perform basic repairs on her own speeder. However, her greatest weakness really lies in the fact that she cannot fly a spaceship. Having never felt an interest in learning, she is grounded to public transport and the whims of those she accompanies. In addition, another 'weakness' one might consider her having is the fact that she is, unfortunately, clumsy. She drops things for no reason, cuts herself while cooking, trips over her own feet, and constantly hits her head on low hanging doors.


PERSONALITY:
Mellow, chill, and unfazed are things that accurately describe Nyri in every aspect. She's not easily riled and relatively calm in every situation. This is not some innate ability she was born with however. She has worked tirelessly since she was a teenager to keep her emotions in check and stay relaxed. While she is not easily upset or angered, it is extremely difficult for her to calm down once she has gotten to the point of anger. Once angry, it's an easy step for her to fly into a blind fit of rage and lash out at everything and everyone in her immediate vicinity.

Because of this, she keeps a small Tatoo-rat with her at almost all times. It's considered a therapy animal to Nyri. Outside of the extremes, Nyri tends to be very thoughtful while she works and doesn't let death or crime really bother her. It's not her passion to stop crime or criminals, but rather to investigate them. It's because of this fact that she tends not to really get along with local law enforcement on a personal level.

She's not a fan of organized groups in any capacity, neither Jedi, Sith, Republic or crime syndicate, nor any other group really draws anything more than generalized annoyance from Nyri. Blindly following codes and ethics isn't her style, and she's not really interested in other people who do. She does whatever she feels is necessary in the current situation to get her job done. Keeping life interesting for herself is her prerogative and other's feelings and opinions aren't a concern.


BIOGRAPHY:
Nyri knows nothing of her birth mother and father, having been abandoned as a small child and raised by an extremely poor family on Nar Shaddaa. As a child she was bullied for her pale skin by the other refugee children, who mostly comprised of regular humans and twi'lek. That changed roughly around ten years old, however, when she suddenly got bigger and stronger than everyone else around her. The tables switched and, for a time, Nyri became the bully to everyone else.

Once she was fifteen, however, both her adoptive parents passed away in an unfortunately death stick accident where they purposefully overdosed to get away from their shitty reality. Left alone with nothing but anger, Nyri briefly joined up with the local Hutt gangs to earn money and reputation. She didn't last long with them, however, as she let her anger and rage dictate her actions and ended up getting a few of her fellow gang members killed in unnecessary shootouts. Leaving the gang, she travelled to the upper levels of Nar Shaddaa and met up with a local law enforcement agency.

With Nar Shaddaa being ruled by the Hutts, law enforcement wasn't really an official business. However, when crimes needed investigating and the victims families had the money to pay, the 'local law enforcement' stepped in to find and 'prosecute' the criminals responsible. Though this prosecution was often little more than putting a blaster bolt into the offender's head. The greatest asset of this group for Nyri, however, was a fellow Echani male who was absolutely shocked that she knew nothing of their culture or history.

Taking her under his wing, the much older Echani male, Eredor Istria, helped Nyri to learn not only a little bit of her culture and language. More important than both of those things, however, was her learning of the Echani hand to hand combat style. Not for practical reasons, mind you, but because it interested her. Eredor also introduced the act of using small animals as a method of calming herself and staying relaxed in stressful situations. A mentor if there ever was one, Eredor was a great positive influence on Nyri's life.

Sadly, Eredor was very old when Nyri met him. He passed away two years ago, and Nyri has been continuing in listening to his knowledge and staying calm ever since. Though she has recently fallen behind in her study of the Echani culture, she has kept up her combat training and is almost to the point where she can identify the true emotions of another through body language and combat alone. Wanting something more than her current life, Nyri is seeking transport off world from Nar Shaddaa and to explore the galaxy a bit more.

SKILLS:
Nyri is not a jack of all trades, but rather a specialist with a few things she's very good at and a much longer list of things she simply cannot do. She is an accurate shot with a blaster rifle, but can't hit much beyond point blank range with a blaster pistol. She is an excellent blade duelist, but has never held a lightsaber before and isn't sure if the skill translates well. She is an adept at Echani hand to hand combat. She can speak and read basic and huttese. Nyri is a fantastic chef, but not a safe one, and an excellent criminal investigator.


GEAR:
Nyri deviated from her leather fashion in only one aspect, she wear a Standard light Blast Vest with durasteel plating under her jacket while she works. Better to lose a bit in fashion to save your life in an emergency. On her hip she carries an S-40 stune pistol for her work. Hidden and in pieces in her duffle bag is a DLT-20a Longblaster. While not uncommon on her homeworld of Nar Shaddaa, Nyri is acutely aware of it's illegality on other planets and, therefore, keeps it hidden.

Her favorite weapon by far, however, is a meter long Vibrosword she keeps on her person at all times. Most people don't really stop her or question her over the blade, but if they do she simply lies and tells them it's a decorative item of her culture. The only other object she possesses of note is a datapad and a personav.
