Traits and Abilities
Strengths and weaknesses:
+Touched by the Force: This little furball has been blessed with a strong connection to the Force. It is how he became a shaman, how he gained his delusions that led him to believe he was too big for Endor, and the only tool through which he could become a threat to anyone
+Physical Strength: Okay, so compared to other physically strong beings he comes up short (literally, probably). However, despite their small size, Ewoks were physically strong enough to overpower combat-trained Humans.
+Cute and Unassuming: No one expects a tiny Ewok to be a harbinger of doom. He even has the puppy eyes working for him. This tiny fellow often finds himself underestimated and in situations where his victims to-be foolishly lower their guards.
-Mr. Tiny: Minnosh is literally a meter tall. He can’t do shit. Add to that the fact that he probably weighs 20 kilograms.
-Linguistically Challenged: Growing up within a primitive society on Endor he only came upon Basic in his late adolescence. When he did there were none to teach and few to converse it with. His understanding and competence in Basic is limited.
-Maniac: Minnosh has always been a bit of an eccentric. His time under the influence of a Dark Side Nexus has corrupted him, and thrown his mental state off balance. His mind has become dark and twisted, delving into things he should not. As he continued to develop his abilities, a presence seemed to establish itself deep within his mind. Minnosh can hear voices inside his head who are manifestations of his corruption. They tell him to do things. They teach him pain.

Personality
Minnosh is curious by nature. He is always seeking to know everything that’s going on (which made him a pain to the others in his tribe) and he hates leaving things uncertain. He is also generally distrusting when it comes to species other than Ewok. This one is quick to judge, so if he comes across a few bad eggs he would be quick to judge the rest of the basket by those standards.
The young Ewok’s personality has become tainted by his surroundings. That, combined with his own ambitions has corrupted his mind, twisting his personality towards the more sinister and macabre. He has become more emotionally detached, and willing to offer up other sentient beings as sacrifices and experiments to push his own personal growth forwards. He sees himself as a man favoured by the gods, and secretly believes that one day he too will be capable of stepping into the large pantheon of Ewok deities.
Minnosh is a product of the Ewok tribe within which he grew up, and is influenced by their values and traditions whether he likes it or not. Like many others of his kind, he is deeply religious. Minnosh is perhaps particularly so thanks to his Force Sensitivity, which has led him to believe he is able to commune with the gods. He favours especially Hexprak (the spirit who controlled the rising and setting of the sun and was the strongest of all spirits), as well as Denlett (a night spirit that often tricked Ewoks into walking off platforms in the dark) and Heesh (night spirit known for trying to make its victims fall asleep). Minnosh had the audacity to consider himself challenger of Ilbath, a rain spirit who sought to destroy all Ewok huts using heavy rains.
Biography
Minnosh was born on the forest moon of Endor, son of Rillish and Trok. His early life was spent similar to most woklings in the primitive Ewok hunter-gatherer society. It was only in his early adolescence that it was discovered that the wokling was a special one. As a direct result of the village shaman taking an interest, he became his apprentice. The shaman was astonished with how quickly Minnosh learned, and said he must be favoured by the gods. Thus began Minnosh’s delusions of grandeur. The shaman died under suspicious circumstances. All other candidates were eaten by Gorax. This left Minnosh in the position with responsibility he was much too young and inexperienced to carry.
After the tribe had come under one Gorax attack too many, Minnosh set out into the wilderness on his own. He was frustrated with hos easily they were harassed and forced to resettle, but mostly with his own inability to do anything about it. He was a shaman, possessing great magic and with the gods behind him, was he not? Minnosh did not feel like it. Eventually he came across an area that never seemed to receive the touch of the sun, nor free of a obtrusive mist. Unbeknownst to the young shaman he had stumbled upon a Dark Force Nexus, albeit a small and obscure one. While unaware of its nature, he could feel its power and decided to stay hoping he would be able to harness it.
During his stay Minnosh was plagued with visions and nightmares. Sleep eluded him for long. It wore down on his psyche. The very air of the place was slowly driving him mad. Ironically, the worse it got the further he came from realising it. In fact, he was starting to believe he was mastering the many secrets of the shamans, becoming closer with the gods, when instead he was being corrupted by the Nexus, his mind drawn towards the Dark Side.
When Minnosh finally did return he was a changed Ewok. No longer he cared for the safety of his tribe. Arguably he never had. His motivation had always been selfish. Now he simply did not attempt to justify it by hiding it as something else. He felt he was meant for bigger things. The gods themselves had become invested with his journey, and he starting seeing himself as something of a 'chosen one'. Endor became too small for him. He had too much of a purpose. His future lay with the stars. And so he left them to their own devices in order to become something more.
