Character Mia Mereel

[Mia Mereel]

Mia Mereel

NAME: Mia “Omega” Mereel

CLAN She was born into a small faction of Clan Fett, most of whom are dead. She was taken in and raised by her Aunt who married into Clan Awaud, but has never sworn into that Clan. There is often awkwardness between them, as Mia is convinced no Clan would take her, but at least Clan Fett is stuck with her.

HOMEWORLD

FACTION: Children of the Protectors. Mia wants to build something, to belong somewhere. Starship or planet, she’s all for both making her mark and changing the universe. Young enough to believe that ardently, passionately wanting something to be true will make it true, the Children at once won her love and loyalty.

RANK: Computer Specialist. StudentMetallurgy (working on her Doctorate), Mechanical Engineering - She keeps finding out she needs to know more of this. Desultory undergrad work in Nuclear Physics. She keeps failing it of her computer science courses, because she argue too much with the professors. Her intuition is often right, but she has not yet honed it a trained intuition that can be easily explained to others.

SPECIES: Mandalorian Human.

AGE: 18

SEX: Female

HEIGHT: 5’6

WEIGHT: 120, slender - especially for a Mandalorian. Mia does not exercise unless she has to, and has a picky appetite at best. She is easily distracted by puzzles, company or work, and often simply forgets to eat what was put out for her.

EYES: The same very, very dark brown as her Aunt’s.

HAIR: A dark mahogany wave. Usually up in a careless pony tail. It is less styled, than pulled out of her way.

SKIN: A beautiful rose-and-gold, occasionally marked by freckles … or soot, ash and grease from digging inside parts of Starships only droids are meant to go.

FORCE SENSITIVE: No.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Strengths:
Technical Genius - Mia loves all things mechanical in nature, but is particularly gifted with computers. Hacking, programing, spoofing sensors are very fun for her.
Natural Linguist - Mia speaks dozens of languages already, and can learn new ones at an astonishing rate.
Positive - Mia s convinced if you just keep working on a problem, an answer will appear.
Social - Mia likes people, despite her designated nerd status.
Educated - She already possesses an advanced degree from a recognized University. (remote learning.)

Weaknesses:
Poor fighter - Mia prefers to fight with her mind, not her body. While she knows basic self defense and can fire any number of weapons remotely, the violence and pain of true combat are something she despises.
Pacifist Tendencies - Mia is firm about not hurting anyone. She will freeze them, trap them, stun them, but she is strictly a non-lethal fighter.
Open - Mia is easy to read, and a terrible liar.

[Mia Mereel]

APPEARANCE: (I need to sub the armor, I fear; so no fighting with it until I figure it out <3)
Mia has striking eyes, a gentle demeanor, and truly astonishing vocabulary of swear words. She moves in sudden fits and starts, utterly still when concentrating, then darting to her next task before stillness overcomes her again. Her ready laugh tends to dissolve into giggles, and her smile can be a touch uncertain.
Very few scars mar her face, but careful observation will reveal that this is due to extensive surgeries and bacta treatments. Her right eye is entirely cybernetic, though she is at pains to conceal that fact. Likewise, the hand on that side, up to her elbow. She has a small stun capacity in her arm, and an energy shield up there, but mostly she has computer interface tools shoved into her false hand at the moment.
Mia wears traditional armor when she must, but is more usually found in a Fleuéline Weave kimono-style jerkin - complete with her Iron Heart - worn over a custom woven-Nanosilk flight suit. The woven skill is strong enough to count as light armor yet lovely enough not to look it, with an unparalleled flexibility and a strength most organic silks could only dream of. She has carefully installed micro-circuitry all along the garment, to allow her cybnertics t control the shape of it. At will, the silk-and-leather combination garment fold completely around her, creating a vacuumed sealed armor. An elegant fold at the neck holds her rebreather until it is needed, and a cloth-like
Flexicris mask and hood are hidden in the extra fold of cloth at her back which allows it to Vacuum seal. Though she only has about 15 minutes of air on board, she can hook into either tanks, air supplies from a ship or vehicle, or a more sophisticated rebreather for more time. She has dual-breathing lines, in case she needs to share air with another, and an encrypted COM. There is no HUD display or Tac assist system, and it is not powered armor in the traditional sense, only capable of wrapping around her in a sudden emergency.

BIOGRAPHY:
Most of this is for my benefit, so I have one easy place to look up events that happened. For events about MIA, you need only look for the Bold, Underlined posts. Everything else is from one of the sources down below, or faction posts.
Events from your timeline are paraphrased for the sake of brevity. I have in single quotes the name of the page I got the basic information from.
Very Mandalorian-centric events are from The Mandalorians: A Beginner’s Guide.
These events are all written with Mia’s point of view in mind, and so some are colored by her opinions in places.
Items in Bold only are simply events that are Mandalorian oriented or directly affected Mia.
Real world-dates reasoned out from information in the Campaign Medals of Strider Garon.

[Mia Mereel]

FAMILY

GRAND PARENTS
Grandfather: Jarel Mereel, Born Clan Mereel but married into Clan Fett. Clan Fett Warrior, b. 800 ABY. He was 32 when she was born, and died when she was 12, during the Netherworld incident.
Grandmother: Misha Fett, Clan Fett scientist, b. 805 ABY. She was 27 when Misha was born, and died when their homeworld was blown up during the Omega War.

AUNT and UNCLE
Aunt Jhira Mereel b. 832 - 35 in 867.
Husband: Mikael Mereel, b. 830, dead by 867. Born and raised in Clan Mereel, he became a Clan Awaud Warrior when his branch of the Mereel Clan was destroyed. When Mia was 10, he died in 858, at the age of 38, when the Ssi-Ruuk attacked the family’s new home.

• Cousin: Red’ Mikan Mereel, b. 856 ABY the year of the Red Coronation. He is 11 years old in 867 ABY.
• Cousin: Mhira-Ssi Mereel, b. 858 ABY the year the Ssi-Ruuk attacked and killed her father. She is 9 in 867 ABY.

PARENTS:
Father: Mindan Fett, b. 825, dead by 867. He died in 851 at the age of 26, during a Bounty Hunt after Sith when they were seeking vengeance for the Omega War, leaving behind one daughter.
Mother:

• Mia ‘Omega’ Mereel, b. 849 ABY, the year the Sith hit upon the Omega Weapon. She is 18 in 867 ABY. Mia is a scholar, like her nanny, and only reluctantly participates in weapons drills and self defense.

OTHER SURVIVORS:
Clan Solus Master Armorer, Retired; and his granddaughter. (Too old and injured to do Master level work)
Clan Solus Master Armorer: Kadin Solus, b. 800 ABY, the year the Plague was first noted to be subsiding. He is 67 in the year 867 ABY. He has had a long, bitterly hard life. Long since retired from Armor work, he cannot do the Craft, but only teach it. And even then, only upon a world with a proper geographic make up, and plenty of volcanoes. While he possesses the plans to create a forge, he does not have one, and so even what he can teach is limited. He has a cyber leg all the way to the thigh, and a cybernetic eye he likes to use to intimidate people. He hates arusetti and barely tolerates his current Clan. He rarely leaves the ship, for he is not a fighter, but a civilian. Yet he has both skills they need, and an iron hard determination to hang on until he can pass his knowledge on to his apprentices.

• Kadin’s granddaughter and apprentice, Kayla ‘Silver’ Solus, b. 856 ABY. Technically nothing happened the year she was born save the Concord Dawn folks allied with Jedi. She is enamored of the Silver Jedi Concord, and so adopted Silver as her use-name. She is 13 in the year 869 ABY.

Clan Fett Warrior and his two Foundlings:
Clan Fett Warrior: Jhetar Fett, b. 837 ABY, he was 5 years old when Jhira was born. He is everything in a warrior that she is not; fierce in hand-to-hand or melee combat. Friends since childhood, they are a good team, and Hunted together until they had so many civilians to look after. Now only one Hunts at a time; the the other stays aboard ship. To her knowledge. He has two Foundlings. Loyal and fierce, he has stayed with her small band despite the hardships his greater Clan is suffering. He is 30 years old in 867 ABY.

• Ssi-Ruuk Foundling: Zir (used to be Iridonia) Fett, b. 845 ABY. A dock worker at only 13, the young Zabrak had learned to be tough even before the Ssi-Ruuk attacked and killed his family. He is skilled at ship mechanics, despite his young age, and Jhira enjoys helping him learn more. So long as it isn’t about computers. He is 22 in 867 ABY. He is a skilled fighter, but his temper is a risk in the field. He can go on a mission at need.
• Sith foundling: Ayla (used to be Synd) Fett b. 855 ABY. This young Twi’lek was found in 861 ABY at 7 years of age, in the custody of a Sith. She fiercely fought back, distracting the Sith, when Jhetar was hunting him. She is determined to be a warrior and never let another Twi’lek be prey to the Sith. There is some concern that she maybe Force Sensitive, but both Jhetar and Jhira avoid mentioning it to any of the children. She is 12 in 867 ABY.

Clan Awaud Teacher/childcare expert and her three children. 858:
Clan Awaud Teacher/Child Care Expert: Lin Awaud, b. 807 ABY. Caught off planet on vacation when the Ssi-Ruuk attack occurred, she found Jhira, and demanded protection and shelter. Damaged in the madness of the fight, she has but one arm, and so far refuses a cybernetic replacement. Permanent lung damage earlier on stopped her career as a warrior, but she remains deadly in a short fight. She is 60 years old in 867 ABY.

• Clan Beroya Orphan: Shae Beroya, b. 857 ABY. They rescued her from the slavery imposed upon her by the Sith after the destruction of Mandalore. They had rescued her parents as well, but they died trying to reclaim their home. She is 10 years old in 867 ABY.
• Clan Fett Orphan: Kad Fett, b. 854 ABY. Orphaned at the Red Coronation in 856 ABY at only 2 years old, his adopted parents were slain in the Sith betrayal in 862 ABY, when he was 8, and he was soon sold into slavery to ‘pay their debts.’ He was discovered upon a transport, only 3 years ago, along with two friends, who were rescued with him. He is 13 in 867 ABY, and it fills Jhira with dread to try to plan his Verd’gotten in such a deadly and war-torn galaxy. They simply must find a home, before his patience wears thin.
• Foundling: Zhul Semrhas Awaud, b. 847 ABY. This young Falleen seems the least convinced that he will join a Clan; he asks often to be taken home. Jhira is searching, but the Falleen are a secretive people, and so far she has no leads upon who he is, or how he ended up on that Sith transport. Though he is chronologically 20 years old in 867 ABY, Falleen grow up slowly, so he only appears about 10. Still, he has nearly a decades’ worth of terrible memories, to the other children’s scant years. He often assists Jhira in shopping, negotiations, or evaluating the people offering contracts. His instincts for reading people are uncanny, bordering upon the Sorcerous, and Jhira prays that curse doesn't fall upon him.
• Foundling: Jason Anderson Awaud, b. 857 ABY. He does not speak of how or why he came to be upon the Sith transport, but throws himself fiercely and determinedly into his combat training. He must often be reminded to slow down and learn the rest of the culture as well. In particular, he struggles with the language. He is 10 in 867 ABY.

Droids of her Ship:

• Navigator: D6-S7O9481-03E D6-S7 class Astromech Droid. Or 03E, which is what they call him, is a really fine Astromech who has taken just a few too many bumps to his Microprocessor. He can’t be mindwiped or easily hacked, but he does fritz out on occasion (1 in 12 chance) and end up with them taking a crazy hyperspace jump. His long, odd designation suggests some sort of experimental model, or perhaps simply a repair tag that never got fixed.
• Medical Droid: RQ-HD8. HD as they call her, was orignally designed for human / Droid interfacing, and came from the factory as part of the ship, in order to manage the Flight Deck. She is very proud of her real job, and rather resents when she merely translates between organics. She has been programmed as a Nurse Droid, and resentfully doubles as the ship’s medic. As such, she becomes quite surly when doing so, leading to either rather inexact and colorful translations or rather rough and tumble medical care if you aren't a child.

Microthrust Computer Spike (3)
Vid-Vox Scrambler.


Armor:
Fleuéline and Sythleather, kimono-style long jerkin - complete with her Iron Heart. Appearance is of a fine black leather.
A custom woven-Nanosilk flight suit. The woven skill is strong enough to count as light armor yet lovely enough not to look it, with an unparalleled flexibility and a strength most organic silks could only dream of. She has carefully installed micro-circuitry all along the garment, to allow her cybnertics control the shape of it. Thus she never trips or snags upon everything, and it is tricky to grab hold of in melee combat.
At will, the silk-and-leather combination garment fold completely around her, creating a vacuumed sealed armor.
An elegant fold at the neck holds her rebreather until it is needed, and a cloth-like
Flexicris mask and hood are hidden in the extra fold of cloth at her back which allows for breathing. Though she only has about 15 minutes of air on board, she can hook into either tanks, air supplies from a ship or vehicle, or a more sophisticated rebreather for more time. She has dual-breathing lines, in case she needs to share air with another, and an encrypted COM. There is no HUD display or Tac assist system, and it is not powered armor in the traditional sense, only capable of wrapping around her in a sudden emergency.
