NAME: Tann Poy'rha

FACTION: Independent

OCCUPATION: Mechanic

SPECIES: Twi'lek

HOMEWORLD: Ryloth

AGE: 19

GENDER:Female

HEIGHT: 5'8"

WEIGHT: 120 lbs

FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, but unaware

APPEARANCE:

ATTRIBUTES: As a Twi'lek, Tann is agile and swift on her feet. Her lithe form allows her to squeeze in and out of places easier than most, which is useful when repairing speeders and other vehicle. Like her mother, she has a unique gift that allows her to sense what it wrong with a machine that others might have missed. This is due to her Force sensitive nature she is unaware she has. As she's spent her entire life of Ryloth, Tann has spent many of her days learning to pilot ships through training simulators in preparation of the day she can finally get off this rock.


PERSONALITY: Tann is a wonderfully pleasant Twi'lek and always has a smile on her face. Some would say this is because she is naive to the troubles of the universe. She was kept sheltered all her life from the despair in other systems and has only known how to look on the bright side of things. As her job required her to fix broken things, and in a way helps other people with their problems, she always feels a great sense of purpose when she can deliver on that promise.


BIOGRAPHY: For all nineteen years of Tann Poy'rha's life she was always looking to the stars. She was kept sheltered from the many disasters out there in the outer rim planets as well as the growing disputes in the Core systems. Her mother also made sure any tales of Jedi Knights were kept out of earshot from the tiny child. She didn't want her daughter growing up thinking she'd be some white knight hoping to save the galaxy. Her mother thought keeping the girl's connection to the Force a secret from her for that very same reason.

In the sheltered life on Ryloth she spent most of her time in a garage. Like her mother, she repaired ships of all kinds, as well as any other appliances that required repair. She was a natural. The machines all just sort of spoke to her in a way she couldn't explain to other people. She asked her mother about it every now and then, but she always got the same response: you're just smart, is all. Somehow Tann didn't believe it.

Her family's garage allowed many travelers to cross their paths and she built up a fairly good reputation with many of them. A few even asked her to fly away with them. Her mother always refused to allow it. Tann reveled in their stories of their travels and it filled her head with dreams and aspirations of being a pilot herself one day. She saved up her credits to buy simulators and flight programs where she could and self taught everything to know about flying, save for the actual experience of being behind the wheel. On her nineteenth birthday, Tann used the last bit of her savings to buy a ship (with some minor repairs she would have to tune up on her own) and made plans to leave Ryloth. As always, her mother was strict about letting her go, but she knew she couldn't hold her here forever. One way or another, Tann would learn about the universe and all the things in it. She just prayed reality wouldn't find her first....

You'll need to remove the Sith part from her history. The fact that darksiders have returned has only recently been discovered by both the Jedi and galaxy at large. Very, very recently. The galaxy at large only knows them as "Red sabers" or "Dark Jedi" in the case of the Jedi, and that they use the Dark Side.

If your character was caught then rescued, that'd cause a huge impact on the story because of the wealth of information she could've collected from the experience. We (the staff) also don't want people to use Sith in their backstory like this. Anything like this would need to happen organically in the role play so the site can react accordingly.

I removed the interactions with the Sith and instead chose a basic Syndicate to replace it in her backstory. Hopefully this is still ok in story with her being "rescued" so I can start her off more as a mother than a Jedi. I needed a reason to not have her be with the Jedi until I'm ready to join a second faction (my Sith character being the first).

While they are still poorly received in many places around the galaxy, the Jedi have never stopped trying to atone for and heal the horrors inflicted on the galaxy by the dark. As the Jedi have focused on healing the galaxy and ensuring that they were living up to the legacy of Rey Skywalker, not a single Jedi has fallen to the dark side since Ben Solo's redemption.

Ok! Edits are made with major changes to story. If this doesn't work I may have to scrap this idea and try something else

Hey there, just popping in.

She was paired with a group of enforcers who tested her and whipped her into shape so that she could use her gifts against their enemies.

This reads like the Five Syndicates enforcers are teaching your character how to use the Force? Five Syndicates really don't have any ability to nurture someone's force ability, just an FYI

Force Sensitive: Light based

If she's been an assassin/hit-woman she wouldn't really be a lightsider either.


Anyways a suggestion, what might be easier is having discover her force-sensitivity until the last paragraph of the biography. It really doesn't impact the character really and avoids the problem above.

I did a complete overhaul to this character. Can you check it now please?
