[SIZE=8.5pt]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES :[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]- Brain Damage: Since sustaining an injury to her right Lekku, Shin’Kazé has been prone to bouts of forgetfulness and occasional muscle seizures, as well as painful flashbacks to unpleasant memories.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]- Idealist: Shin’Kazé has invested many days of meditation into devising her idealised model of the world. She always tries to understand the actions of others in terms of her world view, and when she finds a fact that doesn’t fit, she is likely to simply skate over it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]- Sensitive: Choosing to embrace her emotions has come with the obvious downside for Shin of… well… embracing her emotions. When’s she’s feeling sad or mad or… or… (quick, someone give me another emotion ending in “ad”… are you sure? Oh well, I guess that’ll have to do…) glad, don’t expect Shin to stay quiet about it. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]- Physically Weak: While she is swift and flexible, Shin is somewhat short on muscular strength, relying on thermal projectiles and blades to do her damage for her. If she finds herself in a situation in which she must lift or push some heavy object, then she’s in trouble.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]- Technophobe: Shin’ Kazé is far more at home with nature than with technology. While she has learned how to fly a starship after a fashion, she has a hatred of any technology and avoids it wherever possibly, partly due to her spiritual ideals, but mainly because whenever she tries to operate a computer terminal, she ends up breaking something valuable.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]- Rage Driven: Shin employs concentrated her repressed anger to fuel her combat, particularly when in melee. While this makes her a fearsome opponent, it can also lead to her entering a berserk state, in which she is likely to attack violently and indiscriminately, making rash judgements if she makes any at all. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]+ Rage Fuelled: Driven into battle by her anger, Shin’ Kazé’s strikes are aggressive and violent, coming in a rain of fury that can cause a weaker willed opponent to require an urgent change of underwear.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]+ Personable: Shin, when not brutally killing people, is a friendy and personable soul, who is perceptive to the moods of others and very difficult to dislike.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]+ Disciplined: While it is by no means a talent she has yet perfected, Kazé is training herself to be master of her mind and her emotions. Calming and strengthening; controlling and channelling, she can turn the internal workings of her own mind and heart to her advantage.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]APPEARANCE:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]Shin’ Kazé is missing half of her right Lekku, severed with a brutal, ragged scar. The other is undamaged, leaving her head with a lopsided look. Despite this, the manner in which she holds herself is one of balance, poise and grace, light on her feet, as though buoyed up by some internal light. She wears leather slacks over a cloth vest and often has a backpack hung from a leather harness. On her forehead, she wears an ornate metal headdress. Although Shin has no eyebrows, she normally paints on substitutes to make herself more relatable for the Humans around her. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]BIOGRAPHY:
From the age of eleven, Shin’Kazé was raised as the slave of a pirate faction who operated from a space station in no-man’s-space between the realms of the First Order and the Galactic Alliance. For nine long years she saw nothing but the bowels of that station, not a glimpse of star or sky nor of one friendly face. Then, one day, seemingly from nowhere, the bombs began to fall. She never knew whose bombs they were. Whether they came from the Alliance or the Order did not matter. For Kazé, they represented one thing: freedom.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]The pirates had clearly upset the navy of some major faction whose fiery retribution tore their station apart. A shard of flying shrapnel from the bombardment tore through her right hand Lekku, causing her to fall unconscious. Rescued from the wreck by a passing trade ship, Shin’Kazé was the only survivor. Despite her injury and the trauma of the bombing, she felt no resentment towards whatever nameless power had taken it upon themselves to destroy her captors. She was grateful for the apocalypse that, for her, had spelled freedom.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]Shin’Kazé returned, through a series of misadventures to her home world of Ryloth, where she found a secluded spot on the edge of a dense jungle to live alone and reconcile herself with the pain of her past. A Twi’Lek’s Lekku are responsible- among other things- for handling repressed memories. The severe damage hers had sustained rendered her incapable of putting her painful memories aside, bringing them back to her in vivid flashbacks. For hours at a time, she would simply sit in meditation, contemplating her lives, old and new. She lived a hermit’s life in the jungle for four years, venturing into civilisation only very rarely. It was during one of these visits- perhaps ten standard months into her hermitage- that she stumbled across the teachings of the Old Jedi Order which had fallen to the hands of the Galactic Empire almost nine hundred years ago. She began to use these teachings in her meditations, attempting to calm her emotions and discipline her mind. Two years- perhaps a little more- passed as she strove for the path of the Jedi; the path of oneness with the world and mastery of the self. To a degree, she succeeded. As time passed, she managed to calm herself and gain some modicum of control over the flashbacks. She even began to develop an affinity with the Force and found that she could use it to help the healing of small wounds. However, her progress was gruellingly slow and it seemed as if her mind itself fought against her progress. As the days passed, Shin’Kazé became less and less patient with the ancient Jedi teachings. By the age of twenty eight, she had begun to formulate her own philosophy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]The Jedi’s repression of emotion in favour of logic, she believed, had been a mistake. Our emotions and instincts are what define us and drive us. To lock them away and replace them with an artificial construct is like slicing off one’s limbs and replacing them with prosthetics. It is true that one must be master of one’s emotions, but true mastery is locking one’s feeling’s away and denying their existence; true mastery is to control, to accept and to channel. Each emotion has its time and its place. Control them, preserve them, unleash them when they are needed...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=8.5pt]I will not distance myself from the terrors of my past. I shall unite myself with them and they shall make me strong.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]With the words of her own personal code ringing clear in her mind, Kazé left the jungle aged twenty nine and returned to civilisation, where she took up the life of an adventurer and occasional mercenary. Although she was still plagued by flashbacks and seizures, Shin’Kazé felt new found power flowing through her. She was alive and freer than she had ever been.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]Along her path, she picked up some skill with a blaster and a talent for moving quickly and quietly.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]At the age of 32, with what credits she had accumulated from her adventures and a few materials obtained by less than legitimate means, Kazé constructed a pair of lightsabers and set out in search of a Master who could train her in the art of both the Blade and the Force.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8pt]Within a year, she met with the First Order pilot Starling 7B, [/SIZE]who enlisted her as co-pilot aboard the light cruiser[SIZE=8pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=8pt]CL-TC88 Ardent Redeemer[/SIZE][SIZE=8pt], [/SIZE]in return for the promise to find Shin a Master.
