PERSONAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Genius: Like many of her father's race, Gwyn is a certified genius. She learns rapidly and enjoys both intellectual and artistic pursuits.
+ Engineer: Gwyneira spent seven, almost eight years in a prime Arkanian Academy learning to be an engineer. While she majored in ships, she also learned to engineer machines, droids, cybernetics, weapons and armor, and computers. She is a skilled slicer as well. She was only a quarter of a semester away from earning her degree before war came to her planet and dashed her schooling.
+ Clever: An unorthodox and artistic thinker, Gwyn can easily hatch a clever plot and think outside the box.
+ Disciplined in Skill, Dedicated: Gwyn studies hard and learns fast. She is dedicated to her studies and hobbies and rarely leaves a project hanging.
+ Artistic: Gwyn is an artist. She can makes pretty things. Even her engineering projects are a craft to her. She will not put out anything that is not aesthetically appealing.
+/- Unorthodox: Gwyn does not think like your average joe, which can cause problems with more down to earth people. On the other hand, her bizarre plots and shenanigans can allow her to outmaneuver someone she's opposing.
+/- Passionate: Gwyn is an easy candidate for Dark Side usage. She is emotional and feeling. She is passionate for her projects and art, as well as her causes and goals. She is stubborn in this regard, and can become illogical when her feelings are stung or loved ones hurt. On the other hand, she is also extremely loyal and unlikely to drop the ball on anything.
+/- Obsessive: Gwyn is obsessed with her work, knowledge, and learning.
- Insecure: Her parents are to thank for her desire for approval. Grade based learning is also responsible. She does not feel well about herself unless she is praised by others.
- Approval Starved: She will pour her heart into the objective she feels will make others proud. She is unable to live with herself if she goes unnoticed and unapproved of. She is crushed when shunned.
- Easily Manipulated Emotionally: She is intellectually capable of reading when she is being manipulated, but her emotions can screw this talent over. If her emotions are targeted, one can get her to do near anything to make her feel fulfilled.
COMBATIVE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Excellent Shot: Gwyneira is a skilled markswoman. Using sniper rifles, pistols, even the Force, Gwyn is very skilled at aiming and firing. While her eyes are indeed sharp and her hands are steady, a lot of her skill also comes down to Force Sense.
+ Strategist: Like many pure blooded Arkanians, Gwyneira has a remarkable intellect and a brilliant mind. She is very capable of hatching plans and forging strategies, coming up with clever ways to win or survive the battle.
+ Technomancer: Having went to college for engineering and mechanics, Gwyn is pretty much capable of figuring out a massive bulk of machinery and devices, and she is a skilled slicer.
+/- Communication: Gwyneira is getting better at communicating, but she is not always good at conveying what's in her mind to others. Ironically, she gets prissy when other people do not communicate with her.
+/- Unorthodox: An unorthodox thinker and strategist, Gwyn's plans might not always be smiled upon by more traditional or orthodox allies.
+/- Use the Force: Gwyneira has decent telekinesis, can augment herself, and shines in her Force Sense and Empathy, but she has hardly been trained as a Force User.
+/- Honor?: Gwyneira has a powerful morale compass where she is disgusted at the concept of killing civilians and unarmed combatants. She becomes appalled at the loss of unnecessary life. However, against "low life's" like the Sith and outlaws, it is open season. Gwyn does not care about "a fair fight" or "not using that forbidden unfair move" in combat. If someone is trying to kill her, she will do anything to win against them. Fight dirty.
- Maintain Combat Distancing: Gwyneira prefers to stay ranged in combat, stay at a distance. Up close, she is far weaker.
- Overwhelmed: Gwyneira struggles to think swiftly and on the spot at times. The kind of person to step back and think before jumping in, when thrown right into the action she will sometimes struggle to recoup and plan as thoughtfully as she usually does.
- Emotional: Gwyn's emotional, passionate, and insecure feelings can get in the way of her usually brilliant mind, clouding her judgement and leading to poor decision making.
- Lightsabers Have How Many Styles? Ten?: Despite owning three lightsabers and more crystals, Gwyneira still has no idea how to use one.
APPEARANCE:
A human and arkanian hybrid, Gwyneira shares traits of both species. She has the white-blond hair. She has the skin tone of the caucasian human, plus human stature. However, like the Arkanians, she has pale, pupilless eyes and four digit claws. She has some of her hair dyed hot pink and light blue.
She is lithe and skinny, not physically trained in the slightest. Definitely attractive though!
She enjoys wearing fashionable clothes and is a tad bit vein with her sense of Gothic style.
BIOGRAPHY:
From the earliest parts of her life, Gwyneira was a crafter and artist. Highly valuing art and science, she graduated school by the age of eleven and followed multiple pursuits, including engineering and drawing. She knew very well how to craft ships and work with droids, but also could draw incredible masterpieces and create moving art. Strangely, she enjoyed darker works portraying more negative emotions. Why? Because of her parents.
Her mother never mistreated her, but she never acknowledged her either. She was always looking out for herself. No matter how hard she tried to impress her mother, she was too depressed to listen. Her father, an Arkanian, regretted taking on a “lowly human” mother and left them both, calling his child an abomination. The child always had the darker emotions within her. Emotions of pain, hate, and a desire to be loved.
She was still in schooling to have her engineering degree when from the skies, soldiers of the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire ascended, raining terror onto the backwater planet she called home. Full scale war broke out, and she feared for her life. Even worse, her mother was killed. Her father refused to take her in. Alone in a war torn world, Gwyn thought her life was ruined…
Through this war, Gwyn learned to despise both the Jedi and the Sith. She learned to loathe their endless cycle of war and terror. With her life in ashes, she was desperate. She finally decided that she was going to flee the planet. Stealing a
random freighter in a hanger, she flew off the world but not without trouble. A Sith Acolyte crossed her path during her escape, and she killed him using her engineering skills and intelligence to trap him in an electrical current. She swiped his lightsaber and fled the system with her ship, droid, and odds and ends she had scavenged on her world. She also discovered in self defense that she was indeed Force Sensitive.
Now, she fled into the Galaxy with nothing to her but her skills, trauma, and desperation.
After wandering the Outer Rim as an odd job worker and having misadventures, Gwyneira joined the Wardens of the Shroud and the Eternal Empire. The anti Jedi and Sith philosophies and a sense of structure pulled her in. Yet, the authoritarianism and cold aura was unable to fill her heart. What did help her, however, was meeting Jac'Eli'Zirem.
It started as a random fling, but their relationship developed and evolved into so much more. Genuinely in love, the lost young adults entered an official, serious romantic relationship.
Meanwhile, Gwyneira still struggled to fit into the Eternal Empire's ranks. She was an outlier, an outsider, like she always had been.
Gwyneira defected from the Eternal Empire after the brutal battle over Lwekk, escaping into Mandalorian Enclave Space with Jac'Eli'Zirem.
