OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
  • Age: Young Adult
  • Force Sensitivity: Knight
  • Species: Near-Human (Half Human, Half Sephi and/or Nagai, she isn't sure)
  • Appearance: Miri is a young woman with dark curly hair and expressive brown eyes. Her slightly pointed ears are the only outward sign that she is anything other than human, indicating perhaps some Sephi ancestry, although according to family lore she may actually be Nagai.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
  • Name: Miriam Leia Nimdok
  • Nickname: "Miri"
  • Loyalties: Errik Nimdok
  • Wealth: Average; she receives what she needs from the Jedi Order, working various odd jobs, and/or her family.
  • Notable Possessions:
  • Skills: In addition to her Jedi training, Miri attended college and studied foreign languages. She is fluent in Galactic Basic, Galactic Sign Language, and Mando'a, and is semi-fluent in Sith and Huttese. She also understands Binary and Shi-idese.
  • Personality: Having grown into a determined young woman, Miri is focused and intelligent, but can be reckless and naïve. Her intensely introverted nature means she has trouble socializing and making friends with people outside her family, though this doesn't bother her much as she prefers solitude. When in the company of the familiar and trusted, she is far more relaxed and animated and will express her needs, wants, and ideas freely. Described affectionately as a "young lady", she doesn't use profanity, is polite and courteous, and refers to people as Mr, Mrs, or Miss regardless of familiarity, allegiance, or circumstances - during a duel with a Dark Jedi, she kept calling him "Mister" even after he tried to kill her. The care with which she handles her appearance goes hand in hand with this; she is always well-groomed and elegantly dressed, even (to a certain extent, at least) if she is heading into battle. She can also be a little bit prissy and unwilling to get her hands dirty, mostly because she prefers the comforts of civilization and having control over her environment.
    Miri has a very close relationship with her father and is unlikely to ever betray him. On the other hand, her relationship with her mother is somewhat strained and distant. Miri also has a stepmother, Elise Ike, with whom she is on good terms, and a younger half-brother, Jacen. She briefly dated Vaslav Florescu, but the relationship didn't work out.
  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Tropes: Silk Hiding Steel | Skilled, but Naïve | Well, Excuse Me, Princess! | Aloof Dark-Haired Girl
COMBAT INFORMATION
  • Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber/The Force
  • Combat Function: Heavily reliant on her lightsaber in a combat situation, Miri will typically only use the Force as a supplement. She will boost her jumps, cushion her falls, and summon shields to block the attacks of others, but that's about the extent of her Force powers. Her primary lightsaber form is Niman, a style which borrows a little of everything, but she is also fluent in Shii-Cho. She is also not adverse to using other types of weaponry, such as blasters and slugthrowers.
Strengths:
  • Smart: Miri is intelligent and resourceful. Her love of reading has made her knowledgeable on a variety of subjects, particularly language and galactic history.
  • Telepath/Empath: Miri is hypersensitive to the thoughts and emotions of her father in particular, though this ability may extend to other people with whom she shares a close relationship. She can communicate with Nimdok telepathically if necessary.
  • Jedi Training: Miri started training with the Jedi at around age eight, having previously been taught a few basic Force powers by her father. She is a skilled fighter, but is still gaining experience in the field.
  • Shadow Dancing: Following an incident in which she was nearly killed by a fugitive Dark Jedi, Miri decided to become a Jedi Shadow, specializing in investigation and subterfuge.
Weaknesses:
  • Unexceptional: Compared to other Jedi, Miri's abilities are nothing special. She started training late and her connection to the Force is known to be weak and somewhat fickle.
  • Shy: Miri uses the rules of social etiquette to hide her social anxiety. She is an intensely private person and reluctant to share her feelings with others.
  • Trauma: At the age of six, Miri was abducted by the Sith, who conducted strange experiments on her. While her memories of these events are mercifully foggy, she carries a growing hatred and distrust of all Sith and Dark Siders. She is unlikely to be willing to reason with anyone who holds allegiance with such people.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
tumblr_mdeyb1O4s01r31mkdo1_500.jpg


"I wanna stay with you."
"And what if it's too dangerous to stay with me? What if I go somewhere you can't follow?"
"You'll come back. Like all the other times. You always came back and took me with you."
- Miri and Nimdok​

Miri was born on Alderaan as the daughter of Professor Errik Nimdok and his wife Bithia. When she was around four years old, Nimdok was killed in a transporter accident. Miri was very fond of her father, and his death affected her deeply.

Two years later, in the middle of a summer night, Miri and her mother were abducted from their home by mysterious masked men—Sith agents, as she would later find out. Miri was separated from her mother and taken to a laboratory. Her memories of her experience there are vague, but she recalls waking up inside a tank, her body covered in wires and tubes. The Sith conducted strange experiments on her, apparently giving her Force sensitivity. She remembers the leader of the Sith scientists, a woman named Thetis Suzerain, would yell and hit her in order to provoke a reaction out of her, causing Miri to lash out with the Force.

At some point they took her to a starport—and that was where she saw her father, miraculously alive. Nimdok rescued her from the Sith, but the two were hunted by more agents, forcing them to keep moving constantly. Too young to understand much of what was happening, Miri struggled to adapt to a difficult new life filled with secrets and ever-present danger.

Hoping to give them both a fresh start, Nimdok enrolled Miri at the Silver Jedi academy on Kashyyyk. With her father never far away, she was able to grow up in relative safety and stability, eventually rising to the level of Jedi Knight.

THE STORY SO FAR
Do You Know Where Your Children Are? - First appearance. After being abducted by the Sith, Miri encounters a man who looks just like her deceased father. She calls to him for help. The man, a Shi'ido named Arimanes Bosch who was impersonating her father, must chase her and her captors across a crowded spaceport. One of the abductors, a Sith woman named Thetis Suzerain, manages to escape after poisoning her co-conspirator. COMPLETED

Licking Our Wounds Pt. 1.5 (Chaos Rising) - Miri accompanies Arimanes on a mission, messes around with a droid, and wreaks havoc with her newly discovered Force powers. COMPLETED

Part 2 - Mistwalker (Chaos Rising) - "Nimdok" literally goes to hell. He tries to take Miri with him, but the Alliance won't let him, because seriously, what the hell man? Anyway, he separates from the main group as soon as things start to get hairy, venturing off on his own in search of the Dagger of Mortis... and winds up meeting the ghost of the real Nimdok. A bargain is struck that leaves him forever changed. COMPLETED

Once Upon Another Time - Solo thread. Nimdok seeks out Inanna Hoole, an old friend and former flame of Arimanes', on Coruscant. When they attempt to reconnect, the Sith poke their nose in. Things go from bad to worse as Nimdok, Inanna, and Miri are forced to flee the planet, leaving behind a trail of bodies in their wake. COMPLETED

Wondering About Wonders - Appears as NPC. Nimdok is awoken in the middle of the night by a strange presence. He panics until the presence reveals itself to be a pair of psychic twins, Willow and Ivy, who have been asked by Inanna to find Thetis Suzerain. They want to use Nimdok's memories to trace her. Nimdok refuses, instead having them look at Miri's memories. COMPLETED

A Meeting On Jerrilek - Accompanied by Miri, Nimdok answers the call of a mysterious stranger who recently inherited an ancient - and powerful - lightsaber crystal. Turns out the stranger is a thirteen year old boy named Starlin Rand, and the crystal was bonded to the ancient Jedi Exile Meetra Surik. With the Exile long dead, the crystal is useless to all but the most skilled Sith alchemists... and they are rather eager to get their hands on it. COMPLETED

A Fine Addition to My Collection - Nimdok visits Dr. Elise Dixon at her home on Saleucami again, this time in hopes of establishing a mutually beneficial partnership. Elise agrees to safeguard his growing collection of relics at her private museum. Much to Nimdok's amusement, it quickly becomes apparent that Arimanes has fallen under her spell. In other words, Miri acquires a new stepmother. COMPLETED

A Good Start - Nimdok and Miri accompany Elise to Monastery, where Elise's daughter Kurenai lives with her family. Vampire shenanigans ensue. COMPLETED

Spirit of Adoption - Solo thread. Despite the protests of Nimdok's ghost, Arimanes visits old friends on Lao-mon, intending to leave Miri in their care for her own safety. But he soon finds himself embroiled in a far more sinister plot involving a Sith Lord who experiments on prisoners of war, mutating them into monsters. Miri is attacked by a Doppelganger, who nearly eats her brain. COMPLETED - REWRITTEN EDITION. OLD VERSION HERE

Sometimes I Feel Like Jekyll and Hyde - Nimdok is confronted by Red while recovering in the hospital. He reveals what he knows about the Lord of Doubt. Miri is a sweetheart. COMPLETED

For Sentimental Reasons - Solo thread. On Coruscant, Nimdok, Miri, Starlin, and Moondog attempt to learn the histories behind a bunch of antique lightsabers in the possession of the professional dancer/yacht pilot/rogue knight Val Drutin. COMPLETED

Come Rain Or Snow (Midvinter/SJO) - Nimdok, Starlin, and Miri travel to Midvinter on invitation, visiting the College of Enlightenment. COMPLETED

Call Me Ishmael - Nimdok travels to Ahch-To with Miri to join an expedition team hoping to protect the planet's artifacts from hostile factions. A diver returns from the open sea with tales of underwater ruins, including a marker she left behind for them to follow. Unfortunately, these waters are rumored to be full of giant sea monsters. This thread contains some cute father/daughter stuff, it's nice. ABANDONED

Heart of the Universe - Nimdok is convinced the mysterious magic rock at the Museum of Natural History on Thustra is actually the legendary Heart of the Universe. But the museum won't let him examine it and he can't steal from the Jedi, so he just keeps going there to hang out and stare at it until something happens. "Something" comes in two forms - a mysterious woman who wants to work for him, and a green-haired boy named Slip who was sent by Red to check on him. The group leave the museum, and Nimdok makes a startling discovery - the woman is a biot created by Messala and harboring the enslaved soul of his wife Bithia. Determined to free her from the slave programming, Nimdok enlists Slip's help in hacking into her brain, though she violently resists their efforts. COMPLETED

My Heart is a Hollow Plain - Contacted by a concerned Ayreon, Nimdok gets involved in a plot to rescue Inanna from her apprenticeship to the Sith Lord Vanessa Vantai. The mission involves Nimdok impersonating Adrian Vandiir and offering to become Inanna's new master. However, Vanessa discovers their treachery and imprisons the would-be rescuers, threatening to experiment on Miri. After Inanna snaps and tries to kill Vanessa, the Sith decides they are more trouble than they're worth and banishes them all from the station under threat of death should they ever return. Nimdok is just relieved that they made it out alive and insists that his impersonation of Vandiir wasn't that bad. COMPLETED

The King is Dead - Nimdok and Miri assist a fugitive princess suffering from Sith poison. COMPLETED

TRAA: Ballad of Bardotta - In this spoof thread, Nimdok's character and fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants lifestyle is parodied. Depicted as a dangerously reckless buffoon failing to find a balance between his family and his work, the professor is thoroughly humiliated, but finds acceptance from the one person who matters most to him. Breaking the fourth wall, he also hints at a shocking twist to come... and is told to go to Chaldea, where he will have an adventure involving a mermaid. COMPLETED

The Mermaid of Nezamiyeh - On Chaldea, Nimdok and Miri get sucked into a mystery involving a missing mermaid named Gerda. When Gerda is found, however, the mystery only deepens, as she now appears mute and doesn't seem to know her friends. What exactly is going on? COMPLETED

The Girl Who Has Everything - Nimdok brings Laraine, a Melodie, back to his ship to meet Miri, who has always wanted to meet a Melodie. COMPLETED

The Rhythm Divine - Bithia, Nimdok, and Miri's vacation on Naboo happens to coincide with the coronation of a new queen. Things go awry as they encounter a Shadow possessing an antique shop owner, a holocron covered in mysterious markings, and growing tensions. Later that evening, Bithia decides to leave Nimdok and Miri, seeking a new life on her own on Denon. She makes a copy of herself before she goes, Jaina, to continue to serve as Nimdok's helper. All that happens in the first post; the rest of the thread will be flashbacks to when Nimdok and Bithia first met. SOLO THREAD - IN PROGRESS

Collecting Stars - Nimdok, Miri, and Elise meet Elise's mother Aoi and grandmother Sawa Ike on Atrisia. Hopefully no one will get eaten. IN PROGRESS

The Beginning of the End - Nimdok and Miri react to the destruction of Csilla. SINGLE POST - COMPLETED

And Make a Holy Sound With Our Dirty Mouths - Short story. Starlin visits Nimdok at his new office on Kashyyyk, where Nimdok, now Grandmaster, convinces the boy to help take down Laertia Io. Miri only shows up very briefly at the beginning. COMPLETED

Uncharted Waters - Miri volunteers to help refugees on Balamak... and winds up stuck there when a quarantine is initiated. Is there really biological warfare running rampant? Is Miri infected? ABANDONED LOL

A Step Into the Light - Nimdok and Miri attend the Echani Solstice Festival. Miri learns that her father will be going away as he tries to evade the forces of the terrorist Darth Xiphos. COMPLETED

The Dedication of the Jadelight Beacon - Miri attends the dedication of the Jadelight Beacon in Nimdok's stead and embarrasses herself in front of Romi Jade, Thurion Heavenshield, and a lot of other famous Jedi. COMPLETED

Worth A Shot - Miri crash lands on a swamp planet and encounters Zaavik Perl, a fallen Jedi with a bounty on his head. After a short duel, Miri is nearly killed. Zaavik saves her from drowning in mud and lets her go. COMPLETED

Yashuvhu Known - Miri accompanies Nimdok and Starlin (as an NPC) to Korriban to discuss war crimes. COMPLETED

Revenge of the Club III - Miri goes clubbing. SINGLE POST - COMPLETED

Srina Talon Srina Talon Ready for judging.

Changes Made: Oh Lord, I basically revamped the whole thing. Replaced Notable Possessions to include only subbed items, changed the cover image, increased her age by two years, updated her species, appearance, name, skills, personality, and history, added one or two strengths/weaknesses... I think that's just about everything. The only thing I didn't alter was her combat function, as she is still just a kid.
