​

|| STRENGTHS ||

• Force: The force is a very powerful tool at Nikana's disposal. She is very well versed in usage of her abilities, and expands upon them in various ways. She will more likely use her force abilities and pure skill, before using a weapon, unless the situation calls for the use of weapons.
• Melee Prowess: Having the ability of the force, and not using most forms of weaponry, means that when it comes down to hand to hand combat, Nikana excels at fighting with fisticuffs. Preferring to use Echani Martial arts, and knows a little of the Matukai Martial Art forms.
• Pain Tolerance: Cruticorn is a very good ability when using hand to hand combat. Considering that as someone who fights on an almost daily basis, its a good thing to have pain tolerance, and the use of pain limiting abilities within the force. .
• Force Bond: Having a force bond with your sister can be a good thing, and a little bit of a bad thing. The Force bond can allow the two sisters of Nikana and Intress (aka Tess) to communicate easily with telepathy, as well as know the location of one another. Doesn't work so well in hyperspace or across long distances *works on the same planet, but not different planets*
• Emotions: Nikana uses emotions to fuel the force within her. Using her body and mind as a conduit for the force, she uses her emotions to tap into her potential. This means she is walking on a thin line between the light and the dark side of the force, and her abilities, reflect this.

|| WEAKNESSES ||

• Lack of weapons: Nikana doesn't really like to use weapons. She sees why they are beneficial, however, she prefers not to use them as often as many others in her situation do. Lightsabers cut you in half, blasters run out of ammo, and swords are heavy. Fists are the natural weapon she carries.
• Flirtatious: Nikana is very much a flirt. She likes to lead people on, and can get herself into some very bad situation with this. Sure it can be rather fun at times, most of the time, it will come to bite her in the ass.
• Restless: As per with her bright pink hair and personality, Nikana is very restless and cant really stay in one place for long. She likes to be up and doing something, rather than nothing, hence why she is practicing in Martial arts. Yes, meditation is necessary, and she can deal with it, however staying stagnant and not doing anything is what kills her.
• ​Proud and Rebellious: Nikana is a rebel against her sister. She is the person who will fight against her elders and question the laws, hence why she is known as a criminal, and one of the two leaders to her gang. Because of this, she is rather proud in her abilities, capabilities, and just in herself over all. She thinks she can do anything she sets her mind to.
• ​Temperamental: Nikana is very emotional person. Her emotions can change and flex greatly from time to time to extremes. This can be bad for any kind of relationship. She lets her emotions take over from time to time, and jump to conclusions without thinking, and will even unleash herself upon people with a flip of a coin.
• Loyalty to Cause and Family: Nikana would never betray her sister. They have been together since they could remember. She would stay by her sister's side and never go against her. The same is with her Gang. She wouldn't turn tail on them and would stick with them.
• Not a Murderer: Nikana kills people. She is perfectly fine with ending someone's life, and believes that everyone she kills is guilty. She feels that the person is guilty until proven innocent, and as such, when she kills someone, or asks why she killed them out of cold blood, she says she didn't do it out of cold blood because they were guilty in her eyes.

|| Biography || ​

Pre-Roleplay​

Nikana was the youngest of two sisters. Her older sister being Intress, they lived in a mediocre family upon Morellia. Growing up together as a family, they lived in an average house, in modest living conditions. Neither the top nor the bottom. The sisters grew up very close to one another. Even with the five year distance in age, they had a lot of the same likes and dislikes. As well, they each took after one parent or the other. Nikana took after her Mother, Ianka. A beautiful Zeltron who had fallen for the Morelliean Enforcer Captain. Nikana takes much after her mother in aesthetic looks. Having a slight pink hue to her skin, as well as vibrant pink hair. They lived rather well considering the modest home. However, life decided to take a separate turn.

At the age of 22, Nikana's mother contracted cancer. A treatable cancer, however as the stage three took place, the battle was one that would take a lot of treatments, a lot of credits, and time that the family did not have. Ianka, deciding that it was better for the family to conserve what they had, and to remember all of the good times they had, instead of seeing their beloved mother in a state of constant pain, she refused treatments. Letting the cancer take over. The Mercer family had decided to make it easy for Ianka, letting her use as many pain medications she needed to ease from the living and into the afterlife.

Nikana took this very hard. Loving her mother with all of her heart, She fell into a state of rebellious attitude. Where she had once believe in a being of higher power, she now hated anything to do with Gods or a saviour. She resented forms of authority, including her own father. She went and got tattoos, and piercings against her father's judgement, She would party and take drugs to get rid of the pain she felt in her heart. She hated herself, she hated what had happened.

The sisters grew apart. While Nikana went with friends to parties, and partook of drugs, and other criminal like acts, Her older sister Tess had joined with the Morellian Enforcers. Becoming very much after their father. While this took place, Nikana and her friends formed a gang. Very small at first, Nikana took the lead of this gang known as, "The Liberators."

The Liberators were all about getting rid of authority, and the oppressive people on Morellia. Taking over street after street, And even owned a portion of the planet on Morellia. However, as a Gang leader with a force this large, she had to keep this a secret from her family. Doing so, and using many aliases, Her father would chase after a fake of her, and not his own daughter. It was only on Nikana's 47th birthday, that she got into a heated argument with her father, and her sister.

With the discovery of who Nikana was truly a Criminal Gang lord, The Mercer family did not want to separate, however their father wanted Nikana to be punished for her actions against her own father, against her own family and Morellia as a whole. Nikana didn't agree with this, and argued every step of the way. Her father was backing down as he made the comment, "Your mother would be ashamed."

It was in this, that Nikana let her emotions take over. She allowed for herself to lose control of her concentration, and released a force blast upon her father. From this, her father had been slammed through the wall of their home. Injuring her father, he was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced brain dead. Nikana's sister was also injured from the blast. Debris from their house had severely damaged her eye. Rendering it inoperable, and was replaced with a cybernetic eye. Due to this, the sisters were mad at each other, both of them were at each other's throats. But after talking it out, they had decided to work together for their families sake.

The plug was pulled on their father. They couldn't afford to keep him in his state due to the expenses and debts that were still owed on their mother's cancer treatments. Intress had joined forces with Nikana, taking their gang to move somewhere else, They fled Morellia with their gang, and joined up with the Black Tie Syndicate to try and rebuild their lives. As well, find a way to forgive one another.

|| Skills and Abilities ||​

Weapon Skills:
Lightsaber - Untrained - While the lightsaber is a very versatile tool for many force users, Nikana has hardly any training in its usage, and therefore doesn't hardly ever draw upon her weapon. She knows enough to swing and stab, but she knows no real form of lightsaber combat. Its all about keeping the pointy end away from her.
Pistols - Novice - Pistols are very easy to conceal, and are likely her choice of weapon if she had to use them. Since most of her skills lie in use of hand to hand combat, it would be good to learn how to use a blaster pistol and some rifles or other ranged weapons. As such, Pistols are easy to learn, and she has an affinity for them than most other ranged weapons. Preferring the use of her DE-10 over the slighthrower that was given to her by her father for self defense.
Rifles - Novice - Rifles are very much like pistols. However in her day to day travels, or adventures, she won't be carrying a rifle with her. About the only time she would carry a rifle, is when she has knowledge of getting into a long range fight, or going into battle. Thus, she rarely is seen carrying one.
Shotguns - Adept - With the use of hand to hand combat, a shotgun is very good to use at this sort of range. If her foe were to be too far to hit with her hands or physical skills, a shotgun would work perfectly at close to some medium ranged encounters. Thus, she can be sometimes seen carrying one with her unlike a rifle. If she needs more range than a shotgun, she already has her pistols.
Fighting Gloves/Knuckle Weaponry - Proficient - As like any hand to hand combat user, simply adding armor specifically for the use of increasing possible damage upon a target would greatly enhance power output from the user. Thus, Nikana is easily able to use gloved weaponry.
Hand to Hand combat - Proficient - Nikana never really understood why people would use weapons that could easily kill themselves as well as others. Lightsabers were tools, and could be used with great efficiency, however you were more likely able to cut a limb off rather than punch yourself out. Preferring to use hand to hand combat, Nikana is adept in usage of Echani Martial Arts from her trainer, as well as some of the Matukai fighting force usage. Thus increasing her efficiency in hand to hand combat.


Force Skills/Powers:
Force Bond - No Rating - A force bond is the ability to be able to contact one particicular person over a large distance, and even feel their connection as they are breathing and living. Its allows the melding of both Tess' and Nikana's minds to work when in battle, and work in sync with one another, and even allow for them to share images and feelings to one another. This ability is only as strong as the two people within the force bond.
Precognition/Danger Sense - Novice - Just like any other Force user, Nikana has the ability to feel when danger is near her, and have a sense of precognition to allow her to react to situations when in battle faster. This is very useful for her brawler type fighting style.
Force Reflex - Novice - As an ability to to essentially speeder he body and reaction time to rediclious levels that the human eye cannot follow, Nikana can have increased reaction times, and speeds through the usage of this force power. While its not on the top of her list of powerful abilities, its one of the more useful ones.
Force Jump - Novice - Being able to jump at much higher distance, and lengths is quite helpful. Either to get into a fight, or get out of one, A force jump can let Nikana pounce upon her foe, or even just avoid a conflict over all, or just the good ol traversing the area.
Inertia - Novice - Having the ability to alter her inerta, with great speeds, Nikana is known to literally run up walls to traverse the surrounding area if necessary, or use this offensively to allow her to move in just about any direction even if she were backed up against the wall.
Telekinesis - Novice - the over all usage of the force to manipulate items, or send Force Pushes, Force Burst, is an overall powerful took for any force user to use. As such, Nikana has some training in it's ideals and applications. However, she mostly does it for smaller stuff or uses pushes, or Bursts more notably to keep people at a distance if needed. She can sometimes even be seen using Force Shockwave when many people are around her, or she goes into a rage.
Telepathy - Novice - Having the Force Bond with her sister, Nikana can use Telepathy with her sister rather well. Including other people, however, Nikana can use telepathy no matter the distance on a planet to her sister, and sister alone.
Force Speed - Adept - Using Force speed allows Nikana to run, or act at much faster speeds than what normal humans can. becoming very fast, and able to run faster than even some of the slower speeders, Nikana is rather fast, and difficult to catch up to.
Force Punch/Kick - Adept - As an ability that goes hand in hand with close quarters combat, Nikana is adept at using force kick, and force punches. Allowing a fury of attacks at lightning fast speeds, or very powerful attacks through the force.
Force Rage - Adept - As an emotional person, this power comes quite handy in a pinch. Able to use the Dark side of the force to augment her speed, and strength to a greater degree, Nikana becomes very much a berserker. Using raw strength and power to overwhelm her foes. However, after using this, she will feel physically drained of energy and can sometimes pass out.
Phase/Meld - Adept - Ever since a child, being able to escape a situation was just as useful as getting into one. Or even using this power offensively to avoid attacks. Nikana can phase past physical barriers such as walls, doors, and even phase through people. However, doing this often, or through thicker objects drain her strength quite rapidly. She can only do this for a few moments.

Every Day Skills:
Piloting Ships - Novice - Having the ability to simply fly a few ships is good overall, but she is no ace of the skies or within the stars. Sure she can maybe avoid a few fights and win some, but she is not going to be the best at flying ships. She preferred her feet on the ground in a brawl, rather than in the air.
Piloting Speeders - Novice - Sometimes, running everywhere is not the best way to get from place to place. As such, using speeders is simplistic, and easy to learn, however she is no pod racer, and wont be going into any of these races any time soon. Though, it would be fun.
Meditation/Exercise - Novice - Meditating is something that Jedi, and Sith do every once in a while, as such, Nikana takes after the Matukai use of Meditation through exercise. This means she can meditate by lifting weights, running, or doing other such forms of exercise.
