Inanna Harth
Jedi Knight
STRENGTHS
Skinshifter: A natural ability for her species, she is nonetheless a prodigy when it comes to changing form, especially humanoids. She can imitate any creature regardless of size or coloring, and for an indefinite amount of time. (Though adjusting her mass by a significant amount is incredibly taxing.) She can enact such a transformation at will so long as she is able to concentrate, and she will not revert into another form even if she is knocked unconscious.
Glamoring: This is directly tied to her shapeshifting abilities and allows her to cover up inconsistencies in her physical appearance which would tip more observant people off that she isn't what she seems, such as smell or pheromones. The ability is passive, meaning that she doesn't have to directly apply it. It's negated if she can't use the Force, and it should be noted that she can only control how others see her, not what they think of her.
Telekinetic: Inanna has been practicing telekinesis ever since she was a kid. She is quite skilled at moving objects with her mind. In fact, it's the only Force ability with which she has any skill.
Immunity to Poison: From deadly toxins to alcohol to pheromones, Inanna has become immune to the effects of poison and other chemicals.
Bestselling Novelist: Under her maiden name "Inanna Hoole" she has published roughly a dozen books. She isn't super well-known, but if you like murder mysteries, you may know her name.
NEUTRALS
Experienced: Inanna's been around a while and seen a whole lot.
"Your stories make me want to learn more about you..."
- Alicio Organa
Gallows Humor: It's a coping mechanism. She's just trying to lighten the mood.
WEAKNESSES
Scatterbrained: Possessing zero protection from mental attacks, it is extremely easy for other Force Users to read or influence her mind, with devastating consequences.
"The woman really needed to learn how to keep her thoughts to herself."
Extreme Temperatures: Inanna doesn't do well with either extreme heat or extreme cold, which can affect her ability to shapeshift.
I Sense... Nothing: Despite the best efforts of her master(s), Inanna's ability to sense other presences with the Force remains absolutely awful. You could be standing right in front of her, and she wouldn't be able to feel you.
"Even through their brief interaction, it was clear that Inanna was a woman with a lot on her plate. There was a heavy cloud over her, all the clearer now that he had some understanding of it. Still, she put on a face for everyone else." - Cato Harth
BIOGRAPHY
Inanna Hoole was born in Goshen, Lao-mon, to Tammuz Hoole, a Jedi Master, and his wife Lilith, a schoolteacher. She was the seventh of eight children and the couple's only daughter. Her great-grandfather was Mammon Hoole, a famous and well-respected anthropologist whose work The Essential Guide to Alien Species is still widely read and referenced by scholars today.
Inanna grew up at the family's mansion and had a relatively happy childhood. She befriended her father's young protégé Arimanes Bosch, and the two became close friends, then childhood sweethearts. Arimanes' failure to live up to Tammuz's expectations led to friction between them, and upon coming of age, a frustrated and disillusioned Arimanes left the planet in search of new purpose. He and Inanna lost contact and would not see each other again for over half a century.
Inanna, who had resisted her father's attempts to train her in the Force, was encouraged by her family to attend the Jedi Academy on Coruscant. She reluctantly enrolled, and was quickly overwhelmed. Severing contact with her family out of shame, she quietly dropped out and wandered the galaxy working odd jobs for the next five decades, using pseudonyms to hide her identity.
Then came the fateful day when a man named Errik Nimdok came to see her. At the time she was working at the Harem Club, a gambling den in Coruscant's Urscu Entertainment District, under the name "Maetel". She took Nimdok back to her apartment, where he revealed his true identity: he was Arimanes Bosch, and he needed her help. After a run-in with agents of the Sith who were after Nimdok and his daughter Miri, Inanna agreed to help them go into hiding. But the situation the two were in, being hunted by a Sith Lord named Messala who had at one point kidnapped and experimented on young Miri, haunted Inanna. After hiring a mercenary named Red to assist her, she launched her own investigation into Messala and his activities.
Her investigation would take her to Dromund Kaas, where she masqueraded as a propagandist working for the Sith Empire. It was there that she met Adrian Vandiir, a Sith alchemist with connections to Messala. In order to obtain valuable information from him, she was required to erase a mistake; sending a Sithspawn whom Adrian had created back to her family on Lao-mon to hide. Unbeknownst to her, the Sithspawn had stolen valuable data from Adrian, and he wanted it destroyed. Doing so resulted in Inanna being disowned by her father, and she fell into a downward spiral, becoming an alcoholic. This cost her her job as a propagandist, so she resorted to briefly working as a manager at Euphoria, a nightclub on Zeltros.
A Sith Lord named Vanessa Vantai picked Inanna out from among a lineup of potential apprentices. Inanna was brought to Vanessa's space station in orbit around Nathema, where she was tortured and "broken" by her new master in hopes of turning her into a powerful Sith. Inanna plotted to escape with the help of her trusty HRD companion Ayreon and her assistant Hal Yomin, who in turn made arrangements with Nimdok and a few of her other friends to rescue her. The result was a harebrained plan that involved Nimdok impersonating Adrian Vandiir, coming to the station, and offering to take Inanna on as an apprentice. This enraged Vanessa, who discovered the ruse. In the ensuing fight, the group actually was defeated - but they caused enough trouble when captured that Vanessa begged them to leave her in peace.
Inanna continued to search for Messala (even coming face to face with him during a coronation ball), but her time under the cruel Sith Master had left its scars. Suffering from recurring nightmares and a bad case of Sith poisoning, for which there appeared to be no cure, she found it difficult to function. Nimdok approached Alyosha Drutin, an acquaintance of his, for assistance. Alyosha suggested a purifying ritual which had been previously employed by his master, Darth Themis, using a gemstone known as the Star of Atrisia. Inanna traveled to Atrisia for the ritual, which cleansed the poison from her body, but also altered her body and Force essence. Her strengths in the Force were doubled, but so were her weaknesses.
After the ritual, Inanna married Hal and retired to Erakhis. The couple adopted two children, Ophelia and Galahad, and Inanna seemed content to focus on her family. She left the quest to hunt down Messala to others, only emerging from retirement when a disturbance in some nearby ruins led Inanna to discover her old master Vanessa, now calling herself "Onrai", was the culprit. The ensuing chase and battle saw Inanna briefly trapped in the Netherworld, while "Onrai" got away. She was saved by Ingrid L'lerim-Vandiir, the widow of Adrian, and returned to her own reality only to discover that Lao-mon had been invaded by the Brotherhood of the Maw. Her father Tammuz and several of her brothers would be killed in the ensuing battles before the planet was ultimately rendered inhospitable to Shi'ido, who were actively exterminated by the Maw.
Inanna immediately set to work providing aid and relief to refugees. She became a representative of the Shi'ido to the Erakhian government, arranging for the creation of a refugee camp for her people. Unfortunately, her actions made her a target of Mawite agents, who attacked her and her family. Her children were killed in a terrorist bombing, and her husband succumbed to a rare form of incurable cancer. Despite her personal losses, Inanna is determined not to give up on her mission of saving her people during one of the most difficult times in their history.
