GENERAL INFORMATION
Nivan Darros, a son of a Naboolian military family, stayed true to family legacy and began his military career in capacity as a member of the RNSF - his role being that of Security Forces in his home of Kaadara. His military legacy traces itself all the way back to the Blockade by the Trade Federation in 32BBY. They were just ordinary civilians who rose up in defiance of the threat that came from the Trade Federation and their droid armies and became key members in the resistance that followed after the Fall of Theed. They distinguished themselves in combat during the invasion and saw their refinement over the centuries that have passed since.
His family name may not be well-known now, but soon, the Galaxy - or at least the High Republic - will know the name Nivan Darros.
A proud Son of Naboo.

Nivan Abraxis Darros was born into a lineage defined not by power, but by principle. His family, residents of Kaadara on Naboo, had long served as peacekeepers and officers, tracing their roots back to the civilian resistance that formed during the infamous Trade Federation Blockade of 32 BBY. Though history often forgets the names of those who stood without lightsabers or crowns, the Darros name lived on in military ledgers, civic records, and whispered family stories of courage without glory.HISTORY
Raised in a home of structure and quiet discipline, Nivan grew up steeped in ideals of service and honor. His father served in the Royal Naboo Security Forces, while his mother, a historian, ensured he understood the legacy he was expected to uphold. From a young age, Nivan showed a sharp intellect, excelling in strategy, negotiation, and history but it was his calm under pressure that earned early recognition from military mentors.
By age 17, Nivan had already begun his career in the RNSF, assigned to security operations within Kaadara and the surrounding settlements. There, he cut his teeth not in grand battles, but in the tense moments that precede them—dealing with smugglers, defusing diplomatic tension between local nobility, and ensuring civilians remained safe during times of rising galactic uncertainty.
Despite his clear aptitude, Nivan was never offered a place in the Jedi Order, though faint signs of Force sensitivity - his uncanny intuition, the way he read intent, and moments of near-prescient awareness - never went unnoticed. His family considered these traits "gifts of insight," never power to be pursued. Nivan, meanwhile, viewed the Force as something sacred, but not his to claim - yet.
When the High Republic's expansion reached deeper into the Mid and Outer Rims, Naboo reaffirmed its commitment to peace - not only through diplomacy, but through service on the front lines. Amid growing conflicts and humanitarian crises, Nivan Darros took on a new and humbling role: field medic, deployed with Republic peacekeeping forces to the outer sectors.
For Nivan, it wasn't just a reassignment—it was a purpose. A chance to serve not from a command post, but side by side with those who bore the brunt of war's cost. Each injury treated, each life stabilized beneath fire, became a quiet rebellion against the chaos that sought to consume the galaxy.
He now serves not merely as a soldier, but as a healer amid ruin - a bridge between Naboo's long tradition of compassion and the Republic's evolving need for resilience. He believes that peace must be fought for—but more importantly, it must be preserved in the lives that can still be saved. He has learned that not all battles are won with blasters - some are won with gauze, grit, and the will to keep others standing.
This balance between compassion and conflict, between the oath to heal and the duty to protect - is the one he walks with quiet, unshakable resolve.
Still young, still growing, Nivan remains a figure of integrity in a galaxy fraying at the edges. He has no desire for fame—only to be remembered as someone who stood when others faltered.

APPEARANCE
Young and striking in his presence, he bears the unmistakable poise of nobility with a face still untouched by the harsher trials of the galaxy. Tousled golden-blond hair crowns a fine-boned face, with high cheekbones and a chiseled jawline that speak of both refinement and quiet strength. His eyes are a piercing, contemplative blue—unflinching and watchful, betraying a depth of thought uncommon in someone so young.
He holds himself with a quiet, statuesque stillness, measured, almost ceremonial, yet never stiff. There's a natural control to the way he stands and moves, as though every gesture is weighed and tempered before release. He speaks with calm precision, his voice low, deliberate, and unwavering, echoing a mentality far older than his years suggest.
Though youthful in body, there's something about him that feels timeless—an echo of something ancient behind a face not yet fully grown.

PERSONALITY
-
Just and Principled:
Nivan's sense of justice is unwavering. Raised in the cultural heart of Naboo, where diplomacy and fairness are held sacred, he views every life, no matter how small, as worthy of dignity. This drives his commitment to protect the innocent and uphold the laws of the Republic, even when it's inconvenient or dangerous. -
Kind but Disciplined:
He carries a calm kindness in his interactions, especially with civilians and the vulnerable. However, beneath that soft demeanor lies a formidable warrior shaped by years of intense training. He believes compassion is not weakness, but a soldier's duty. When diplomacy fails, he acts with efficiency and resolve. -
Militaristic Ethos:
Nivan has internalized the values of honor, order, and tactical precision. He believes in strong leadership, accountability, and the necessity of a well-disciplined force to protect peace. While he respects the Jedi and their ideals, he prefers action rooted in structured command and battlefield clarity. -
Loyal to the Republic, Not Blinded by It:
While loyal to the High Republic and its vision of peace, he is not naïve. He questions orders that contradict his moral compass and is unafraid to challenge bureaucracy when it risks lives or justice. This has made him respected among some leaders, and a thorn in the side of others. -
Stoic Under Fire, Reflective in Peace:
On the battlefield, Nivan is calm and focused, capable of making hard decisions without hesitation. But in quiet moments, he reflects deeply, journaling, or meditating by Naboo's lakes when on leave. He carries the emotional weight of war, though rarely shows it.
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
+Unshakable Morality
His strong sense of justice makes him a beacon of integrity. He's the kind of soldier who earns trust quickly among NPCs, allies, and civilians. He's often seen as a stabilizing influence in a morally grey galaxy.
+Skilled Combatant
Years of military service have made him highly proficient in ranged and melee combat. He excels at disciplined, efficient fighting, especially in defensive positions or protecting others.
+Compassionate Leader
He genuinely cares for those under his command. This makes him an excellent morale booster in group settings, and ideal for missions where protecting innocents matters.
- Rigid Moral Code
Nivan's black-and-white sense of justice can cause friction with more morally flexible characters or in morally grey situations. He struggles with compromise when lives or principles are at stake.
- Unyielding Loyalty
Nivan's sense of duty sometimes leads him to follow orders or protect comrades even when doing so isn't the best moral or strategic choice. He may cover for a fellow soldier's mistake, or stay loyal to a failing mission out of principle.
- Authority Clash
While loyal to the Republic, he's not blind to corruption. This sometimes puts him at odds with superiors, especially those more concerned with politics than people, potentially jeopardizing missions or promotions.
