[b]Name[/b] – Tir-Nem--Saral [b]Species[/b] – Tiss’shar [b]Gender[/b] - Female [b]Age[/b] - 30 [b]Occupation[/b] – Independent Bounty Hunter/Mercenary [b]Appearance[/b] – [hider=Image][img] http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/1d/Tissshar.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/140?cb=20080705062039[/img][/hider] Tir possesses light green scales with black bands across her back, and a muscular build. Her left forearm has been replaced with a mechanical substitute with similar anatomy to the original. Although, it does not possess synthflesh and is instead covered in simple black plating to protect its inner workings. [b]Apparel[/b] – Like most Tiss’shar, Tir typically wears only a simple tool belt with various pouches and a holster around her waist, along with a bandolier, depending on what is needed. [b]Weapons[/b] – Tir carries one standard DD6 blaster pistol, a vibroblade (which is kept sheathed on her bandolier), and a small knife, which can be stored inside a hidden pocket in one of her pouches. [b]Equipment[/b] – A credit chip, datapad, and small, assorted parts which can be used for simple repairs. Her prosthetic forearm is more durable than normal, but does not provide a strength advantage over her natural body. [b]Skills[/b] – [list] [*]Tir’s greatest combat skills are in melee and unarmed fighting. Her natural strength and agility lend themselves to close quarters encounters, and she has heightened reaction times which she attributes to her alacrity implant. [*]Tir is certainly not a bad shot with her blaster, but is not specialized in ranged combat. [*]She possesses limited repair skills pertaining to her equipment, such as her mechanical arm and her weapons. [*]Tir is capable of speaking Basic, Huttese, and the Tiss’shar language. [/list] [b]Flaws[/b] – Other than minor repair abilities, Tir does not possess many practical non-combat skills. Contrary to most bounty hunters, Tir not only dislikes seeing the suffering of others, but is willing to go out of her way to help them. While noble, this can cause her problems in the harsh criminal underworld of level 3030. She will do what she can to help the innocent, often at her own expense, but the sheer number of people in need around her is draining both physically and financially. [b]Personality[/b] – Tir is not a person without some vices. She drinks, gambles, and engages in other petty distractions, and of course, her career does involve killing from time to time. However, she does have strong altruistic tendencies. She is charitable to others, and more than willing to socialize. However, she is generally openly hostile to those with speciesist tendencies. [b]Goals[/b] - Tir seeks to lessen the suffering of those around her in whatever capacity she can, and since many of the organizations around her are corrupt, she often works independently. As well, she has taken a particular stance against the Pure Hand, and many of the bounties she accepts target their members. Overall, she seeks to be a force of justice in the unjust world around her. [b]Backstory[/b] – Tir-Nem-Saral was raised on Coruscant, though she never had a strong relationship with her parents. They had little to do with her as a hatchling, and through her teenage years, much of her learning was mostly independent. However, she did have friends, and a mentor named Aroya. She was a Twi’lek, also from Coruscant, who was a kind and generous, if idealistic soul. It was from her that taught Tir most of what she knows of fighting, and how to survive in the less civilized parts of the galaxy. While not a member of the Republic’s military in any form, both Aroya and Tir aided the Republic during the clone wars. Mostly, they worked running supplies to the places that desperately needed them. It was during one of these supply runs that she lost her hand, and part of her forearm. It happened as a result of an ambush by pirates, who had been allowed to grow in numbers and strength as a result of the war. It took her time to come to terms with the injury, but luckily, she was in a position to be able to get a mechanical replacement. The now-useless remainder of her forearm was amputated, then replaced with a mechanical limb that replicated the design and functionality of the original. Regardless, their supply runs during the war did eventually come to an end and, although they remained friends, Tir and Aroya went their separate ways. After the end of the war, Tir settled down in Coruscant’s underworld. Pro-human sentiment was on the steady rise in the fledgling Empire, so she was more comfortable being away from their influence. With her combat skills, she naturally settled into a career using that martial prowess. At first, she tried her hand at being a bodyguard to support herself, but found that many of the clients she was meant to be protecting were too unsavory for her liking. As a result, she began favoring work which allowed her to operate at least mostly independently. Since Tir was not a person who could accept the suffering around her, let alone actually aid it, it took time for her to get a feel for what kind of work she could be comfortable in accepting. Eventually, she found that bounty hunting could be an acceptable career. Although there was no real organized government in level 3030, the rivalries between the various gangs and larger criminal syndicates meant that they often placed bounties on troublesome members of opposing organizations. These were bounties that Tir usually had no moral objection to claiming, and in the process, could allow her to give some justice to the victims that her targets had wronged. In particular, she has a distaste for the Pure Hand for the suffering they have caused the area’s non-human population. Since they would consider her an enemy simply by virtue of her species, she is often among the first to accept bounties against their members. As a bounty hunter, Tir has been able to both earn the credits to support herself, and eliminate individuals who cause suffering to the more innocent locals. However, she has many times also been forced to do nothing about injustice because it was out of her capability to change. Since most criminal organizations view bounty hunters simply as tools, or guns for hire, she has not made herself a target of those syndicates, other than the Pure Hand. However, if she were to expand her work to become more of a vigilante, she would not be able to continue her work for long.
