Blood and Fire
"I was made in a lab by a mad scientist. But my creator is long dead, and I've been running loose for decades now. I was designed to kill and destroy, but I just want to live. To carve out an enjoyable, meaningful existence in the galaxy."
NAME: Jaina Grayson
FACTION: The Foundation (formerly), currently Independent
RANK: Citizen
SPECIES: Sub needs a rework but here
AGE: somewhere between 35-40
GENDER PROGRAMMING: Female
HEIGHT: Varies
BUILD: Varies
EYES: Varies
HAIR: Varies
SKIN: Varies
FORCE SENSITIVE: Force Dead
STRENGTHS:
- Regeneration: The biot can regenerate its flesh, regrowing lost limbs and tissue. Its rate of regeneration is dependent on its form.
- Mage Killer: The biot was designed to have a fighting chance against any opponent, including Force Users. Specialized glands on its body based off of research into ysalimiri Force-canceling bubbles render it highly resistant to telekinesis and mental attacks, though not immune.
- Superhuman: The biot possesses great strength, speed, and reflexes far beyond that of a normal human... albeit only when it is in its Combat Form.
- Changeling: The biot has shapeshifting capabilities but is limited to humanoid forms.
- Learning and Adapting: The biot is capable of learning new skills and acquiring knowledge, whether through experience or the use of knowledge cartridges. However, both combat programming and "higher knowledge" pertaining to specialized fields is restricted depending on which form the biot is using.
- Even the Smallest Body Functions: The biot's internal structures are designed to imitate that of a human. It mimics them so well that most medical scanners will be fooled. It can also pass some medical testing, such as blood tests, by mimicking the blood of a human.
WEAKNESSES:
- Terminated: Despite its advantages, the biot is vulnerable to virtually all forms of damage. Attacking it with blasters, lightsabers, vibroblades, ion, sonic, acid, disruptors, etc., will cause it harm, and if it sustains enough damage it will shut down and/or be destroyed.
- Water: While a puddle will not harm it, dropping the biot into a large body of water will cause its cells to swell, eventually reducing it to an amoeba-like state.
- Salt: Causes the biot's cells to shrivel upon exposure, resulting in a phobia of even common table salt.
- Vong Origins: The biot's tech is based on Vong biots, and it therefore possesses their weaknesses, including:
- Bafforr Pollen: Will force the biot's body into a semi-liquid state with slowed down movement.
- Unmaskers: Cause the biot's body to harden like stone, rendering it immobile.
- Mode Locked: The biot can shift into three different forms to suit the needs of any given situation, but these each harbor drawbacks as well as benefits. It takes roughly seven minutes to transition between these forms, and during that period the biot is rendered immobile and vulnerable. See the Appearance section for more info on each form.
- Must Feed: It must feed on "psychic energies" (basically a form of Force essence in the form of memories) at least once every five days in order to continue functioning. Its ability to feed is not restricted by its form, nor is it required to kill its prey in order to be sufficiently nourished. Depending on how much activity it engages in, such as transforming from one form to another or sustaining significant damage, they may need to feed sooner than that. Should it fail to procure fresh energies before it runs out, it will become immobile and eventually shut down.
- Creepy: Those who are inclined to be suspicious will notice that the biot still seems slightly off, exhibiting behaviors that are not quite human. This makes relationships difficult to forge and maintain, and it will quickly become attached to anyone who shows it kindness.
APPEARANCE:
Jaina's appearance is subject to change depending on which Form she is in. The exact specifications of each Form are outlined below:
Civilian Form
The Civilian is intended to be the biot's primary interface with galactic society. It is the most intelligent of the forms, possessing access to all of the biot's higher knowledge. Its base appearance is that of a young human woman with dark hair and green eyes. Strength, reflexes, and speed of this form are at the level of a normal human. All repairs take a minimum of fifteen minutes to complete, with more serious damage requiring hours of recovery time. Combat is to be avoided while in this form due to its physical limitations.
Warrior Form
Infiltrator Form
The Infiltrator is designed for stealth. It is capable of taking on a malleable, shapeless near-liquid form, enabling it to move through small spaces with ease. Its appearance is that of a purple-skinned female Twi'lek. Much like the Civilian Form, its strength and speed in this mode are not ideal for combat; its regeneration rate is similarly stunted, but it has access to utilitarian skills and knowledge such as piloting, slicing, and how to repair (or sabotage) various technologies.
BIOGRAPHY:
Jaina's origins are convoluted and complex. She is the "daughter" of another biot named Bithia, who was herself a copy of a biot who was stolen and modified by a Sith Alchemist. Her "mother" didn't stick around for long after her creation, leaving Jaina with a man named Errik Nimdok, who was to be her master.
Nimdok was a professor of history. He also dabbled in archaeology. Later, he would become a Jedi and serve on the Silver Council. Eventually he would die on Tython. But before all that, he brought Jaina with him to defend his homeworld, Lao-mon, from the Mawites. Jaina will never forget that day, the battle, the viciousness of their foes. One of them was going to kill her master. She had to stop them. In her hand was a disruptor she had scavenged from a corpse. She raised the barrel, squeezed the trigger...
... and killed her master's father.
It was a mistake. The gun misfired, or her programming malfunctioned. She didn't know which. Never figured out what went wrong. But as the ashes fell and the Maw won, unleashing a genocide upon his species, Nimdok wouldn't look at her. She tried to apologize, to make it up to him, but it was useless. He couldn't stand her presence anymore. Finally, he told her to leave and never come back.
For the first few years of her exile, Jaina wandered from place to place, learning about the galaxy. She soon learned that people were afraid of her, finding her strange and uncanny. Her eating habits didn't help matters. When she discovered a community of vampires on the planet Necropolis, she decided to settle there. They didn't fully accept her, but they didn't bother her either. She got involved in the tourism business, using it as a cover to disguise her feeding. But after so many years of building this life for herself, she has grown restless, wanting more than to just exist...
