STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Jack Sandrow is a Vinithi hybrid, an experiment from years back turned rogue, turned exile, turned hermit, turned avant-garde biotechnician. As with all Vinithi, he has strengths and weaknesses inherent to both his physiology and his Force sensitivity, in addition to character flaws & abilities.
Strengths:
- Increased physical strength & durability
- Due to being a plant-like humanoid, Jack retains the Vinithi capabilities of increased physical strength and durability.
- Force sensitivity
- Thanks to becoming Vinithi, Jack's latent Force connection spiked. His slow self-discovery and careful experimentation allowed him to further this sensitivity, though he by no means is an exceptionally powerful Force user.
- Determination & survivor mentality
- Jack seeks to survive and prolong his existence as best and as long as he can. In early years he sought security with the squeeze of a trigger, or survivability with the whisper of a cloaking device. Now, he seeks to enhance his own natural abilities to be more self-reliant than ever.
- Inherent physiological weaknesses
- Like all Vinithi, Jack is sensitive to extreme temperature fluctuations. While heat & humidity can be adapted to with little effort, actual fire can be lethal without preparation. Similarly, cold, chill, and aridness can also be adapted to, again with effort, but extremely low temperatures can cause water to freeze throughout his body, shattering him if preparation has not been taken to avoid this.
- In addition, Vinithi physical needs mandate that he regularly 'recharges' with sunlight, nutrient intake, etc. While it is possible to survive without 'plant food', this also requires time to adapt, as he must switch from nourishment via photosynthesis to a more carnivorous diet.
- Force presence
- Due to his innate connection to the Force, he has very little ability to dampen this 'signal' to the world, much less hide it completely. In addition, to completely sever his link to the Force would be a death sentence.
- Nonconformist
- Being far more in tune with nature predicates that he must therefore be more distant from technology & civilization. While not unable to interact with civilization at large, being unable to live at length within society can be taxing, both in terms of awareness of current events and relating to involvement within society at large.
APPEARANCE:
Most days, Jack Sandrow is a tall, lanky male-presenting humanoid. Like most Vinithi, he appears to be physically similar to a 'green human' at first blush, though of course the details differ. When studied closely, one can see that his hair is more leafy, almost grass-like. His skin is a lighter green than his hair, and similar to humanoids is able to 'blush' with a darker, more blueish green flush. Green eyes and an almost ever-present smile complement his face, while stubble may or may not grace his chin, depending on the day.
As a Vinithi, he is able to change his shape, somewhat, and as he has gone on a journey of self-discovery, he has learned more about himself in the process. Depending on the day, he may be more androgynous, or more female-presenting. In such forms, they usually retain much of their original form (green hair, green skin, etc), though their physical shape may change somewhat.
BIOGRAPHY:
History (pre-900 ABY)
Jack's past is best left buried. He buried it, and he'd rather not dig it up. If it is dug up... well, he'll have to deal with that, won't he.
Contemporary (900 ABY)
Upon re-entering society as a whole, Jack set upon taking the skills he learned in his hermitage to begin crafting biotech in earnest. While brushing up against a few Jedi here and there, his actual foray into the galaxy at large did not truly begin until he found himself on the sidelines of the Dark Empire's push into Taris.
