STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

Gifted Technician - Naturally blessed with talents to understand mechanics and machines, seeing tricks that others may miss, Hex can repair most anything, at least temporarily.
Force 'gifts' - The Sith spawn blood she has been given gives her latent force abilities that make her fast and hard to track through normal means, it also accelerated her healing, allowing her to survive significant wounds.
Plucky fighter - Learning from an early age that she needed to look after herself, Hex is a smart and vicious fighter with a wiry strength.
This makes her capable of holding her own against a lot of opponents.

Complex mental health - Hex hears voices and sees faces, she fights to block them, but particularly during moments of stress they can be a real distraction and can compel her into reckless and uncontrollable actions. She also suffers from severe anxiety and mild psychosis, which can often trigger her voices to become more vivid.
It doesnt always work - Her technical skills are based on luck more than judgement and sometimes that runs out. At the worst possible times she might find a contraption fails, a bomb doesn't go off or a jury rigged piece of kit fails.
Uncontrolled force sensitivity - The way her body was modified gives her very little control over her force abilities, they are passive and always on, but she can do little else with them.

Adorable - She is young and comes across as very fragile, this leads people to underestimate her, but also not give her the respect she deserves.
Individual - Hex is very much her, she is desperate to be loved for who she is, not who people want her to be.
Emotional tell - The shifting colour of her eyes can give an indication to those that know her well how stable her mind is at that moment, this can potentially let her friends help her but her foes can play on it.
Stolen childhood - Having never been able to experience a proper childhood and development, in a lot of ways, Hex is still a child which can make here often appear emotionally immature.

BIOGRAPHY:

Hex was born as Elyssa Kala'myr to a Sith Lord into a very unpleasant environment. From her cot she watched her eldest sister be tortured daily, and it was clear from a very early age that something wasnt right with her. Her mood swings even as a baby were troubling, from a calm happy child to a frightened baby that looked like it heard voices. Maybe she was born unwell, or name the toxic home life had forced her inward in order to find solace.

She was committed to a psychiatric hospital before she could ride a bike and grew up there, screaming into the night and moments later laughing and joking with staff members. This went on for years until one night she went too far, in her delusions, she burnt down the hospital, killing almost everyone inside and destroying their records. Having come as a young child she had no recollection of her parents and there were no records. Broken and changed by what she had done, she fled to the streets of the Coruscant undercuts and made life as a street urchin, she was 9 at the time.

The combination of her mental state before and after the fire made her dangerous and unpredictable, she had a gift for tech, but was just as likely to detonate a new device amongst allies as the enemy. She went from crew to crew until as an early teen she encountered a Darkside crime lord that saw her potential, and continued to utilise her as an enforcer. He used his force powers to control her worst excesses. Eventually he offered her a way to improve herself, to make herself faster and more resilient. She impulsively took the offer and allowed him to change her. She never realised it would come at the cost of some of her humanity.

But it was successful and for nearly a year, she worked even more effectively, the Sith spawn blood that mixed with her own even had a mildly levelling effect, taking off the very worst of her dangerous instabilities. But there comes a time in for every crime lord when a bigger fish strikes. And once again, Hex was left leaderless, by this point though, she was stronger and more independent, no longer looking for a master, the 16 year old sought out the Darkwire to begin to make her own story.

She now spends time on Denon trying to find work, she wonders about her past, she knows that she has siblings from comments that the hospital workers made, but she has in her own way, come to terms with the fact that her parents had never come looking dor her and she would never know her family. If her family couldn't love her, then she didn't deserve to be loved. She was never to known that the real reason her family came looking for her is due to it falling apart in the most violent way and most of them being either dead, or scattered across the galaxy.

Biography - Act 2

Hex made a name for herself working with her friends and being a persistent thorn in the side of the Corporate Authorities of Denon. Her mental demons still plague her but she is now a competent and dangerous soldier of freedom, and also a good friend to those who can deal with her more unstable traits.

One fateful mission though, The Fate of Denon she was tasked with a bombing. A terrorist act and an attempt on the life of the chief enforcer of the Jedi Order, Valery Noble . The attack was succesful, to a point, millions of credits of property damage was caused and Hex's plan to limit civilian damage seems to have worked, although in the depths of Denon it is hard to tell what falling debris might rain down onto the otherwise abandoned industrial districts.

Daiya , Das Cartri Keswoll Brie Jaxx and many others were forced into hiding as jedi and bounty hunters alike scoured the city for them and a huge lock down was enforce by CorpSec. Darkwire, being street savvy were still able to move around, so at least Hex got to celebrate her 18th birthday with friends on tropical Wielu

Unbeknownst to Hex, one of her allies, a former friend was coerced into turning her over, fearing threats of who knows what might happen to a group of orphans that he felt responsible.

Corpsec struck and Hex was arrested. Shipped off to an Orbital prison with virtually no rights and hardly any visitors. With no concrete evidence to go ahead with formal charges, they hoped they could just hold Hex until she was forgotten about. And for eight months she remained there in orbit of denon, with only intermittent visits from her friend Hilal Vizsla and even a jedi Iris Arani .

Eventually something changed, genetic tests revealed Hex was from Serenno. The secure records on that world meant it was hard to gain more information, but communications eventually led for a request of deportation from alliance space into the hands of the notoriously strick Serenno authorities. This, Corpsec believed, would disappear her even further and without charge, she would be gone from Denon forever.

What Hex did not know, what noone knew, is that the prison was owned by the Kala'myr family. A powerful and wealthy group from which Hex originated. She had spent the last several months in relative luxury, still under lock and key and still medicated to prevent her mental health becoming a problem, but more comfortable.

The Sith of the Kala'myr are watching Hex, they haven't yet decided whether to leave her to rot, or whether they can make use of the individual who's artificially granted mild force attunement makes her barely worth their time.
