Occupation: Combat medic; Mercenary.
Strengths:
Unshackled: Having very few ties leaves one free to live wherever they want, practically; in her short span of life, Korben has lived in a rage of locales, from a forgotten alleyway behind a droid foundry to a prefabricated shelter on mansion grounds, to say nothing of her comfortable abode on her newly-acquired starship, as well as the promise of the Ithorian Herd Ship she grew up on that would always welcome her home. She has thus learned to be comfortable with only a starship, her droid, her medical supplies and the clothes on her back and is accustomed to a life of nigh-constant travel.
(Partial Training) Medical Knowledge: While far from being an expert despite her training, as she never officially completed her Academy courses, young Korben is nonetheless calm under duress, skilled and swift, rendering her capable of attending to injuries steadfastly with even the most simple of tools at her disposal. The aid of either a diagnostic computer and/or her personal droid, a modified PI-Series medical droid, can compensate for any shortcomings she may have.
Accomplished Pilot: Having been raised on an Ithorian Herd Ship, constant travel taught her everything a youngling might be able to learn about the Galaxy's spaceways, and she was an eager study in flying a personal craft during a brief stint with her Herd Ship's delivery crew. Naturally, those few years of daily practice have easily transferred over piloting a proper personal starfighter.
Anti-Nihilistic Quipper: Unless hyperaroused by traumatic reminders (see below), many allies and fellow mercenaries find this eccentric Chikarri to be a capable, swift combatant and both a competent shot and pilot alike; however, they may be their amused or annoyed by her tendency to occasionally mock her opponents, even in the middle of a firefight.
Chemical and Anatomical Combat: Knowledge of both chemical compounds, basic alien physiology and biology, coupled with combat skills, can enable one to efficiently target any number of weaknesses that manifest among humanoid life forms. Salves, both beneficial and adverse, my be deployed for both friend and foe, so long as they are prepared in advance beforehand!
Weaknesses:
The Mouth: Some people just don't know when to NOT voice their opinion, and Korben often mouths off at the wrong people for a laugh, especially if they're evil...
Lesser-known Infamy: Korben was a former singer very briefly for a combination band/comedy troupe, and a recorded (and edited) fight with audience hecklers propelled her into Holonet infamy for a very short time period, naught but a few years ago. Though the recording (edited to make her look bad) was eventually scrubbed, the poor Chikarri is occasionally recognized and either mocked or attacked outright due to this incident, even to this day.
PTSD: The brutal attempted murder of her "Uncle", a sarcastic, if good hearted Tarro named Vosseq Aej (pronounced "Edge"), has left his adopted "niece" with recurring nightmares and an intense hatred towards both Zeltrons and the rarely-seen Conjeni.
Hatred: A VIOLENT tendency to either lose control, hyperventilate (sometimes both) at the mere sight of either a Zeltron or a Conjeni can have this young woman attempting to assault any member of the aforementioned species, as a Zeltron and a Conjeni assassin were responsible for the crippling of her adopted Uncle.
Appearance:
Biography: Many younglings across the known Galaxy are told they can be whatever they want.
This was decidedly NOT the case for one abandoned Chikarri infant, nearly twenty years ago.
Several Ithorian travelers - the Hammerheads known for their strange, ever-roaming Herd Ships, in addition to their fame as accomplished healers - noticed the strange squalling of what turned out to have been an abandoned baby of a strange, rodent-like species at the very edge of one of their Herd Ship's landing platforms. She had been deliberately abandoned while the Herd Ship in question was delivering much needed medical aid to a moon of Nar Shadda that was recovering from a violent uprising. Being a compassionate people, the Ithorians were all-too-willing to take in the infant, moreso when they eventually learned that no parents were willing to step forward in the subsequent months, despite news reports being placed all over the local Holonet for the remainder of the Herd Ship's appointed stay and their treatment of the displaced population. The strange alien girl, from a species known as Chikari, it turns out, was taken in by the Herd Ship's legal advisor, of all things, an out-of-place Tarro man by the name of Vosseq Aej. "Uncle" Vosseq did his best to teach his strange youngling the intricacies of law and matters of the courtroom to his adopted child, with little success, even as his love for his most unexpected child never did wane over the years. A sarcastic, gruff and deep-voiced man of all muscle - a former mercenary - Aej was more then willing to do all that he could to give his charge everything she could have wanted, to the best of his ability and, occasionally, with the aid of his adopted people.
Naturally, being raised among Ithorians brought with it required learning in botany, xenobotany and medical training over the years, with practice in technique and applied knowledge beginning when the young alien reached the age of ten, just as it did for her peers, Ithorian or otherwise. (WIP)
