Meira Valli
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 31, Kiffar, Jedi Master. Meira is gifted in Psychometry, Force Meld, and Soresu style lightsaber combat. Formerly more introverted and optimistic, the recent war has hardened Meira into a more blunt and pragmatic individual. She is still very much a Jedi, however, and believes in her calling. She has a gift for finding tranquility, even in stressful situations. A recent near death experience has left Meira with her left leg severed just under the knee. It took some time for her to adapt to her cybernetic prosthetic, but Meira is comfortable with it now.
FRIENDS
Meira does well with other Jedi, finding it easy to relate to her peers due to their shared experiences through their training and trials. She appreciates practicality, but will warm even more quickly to those who can find happiness in the little things in life. She enjoys a good joke, especially if it can be tactfully applied to lighten a tense situation appropriately. She relates well to those who have a clear sense of purpose to their lives, particularly with those whose found purpose is in the service of others.
ENEMIES
As an altruist, Meira will instantly find herself at odds with anyone who exploits others for their own personal gain. Naturally, Meira vehemently opposes those of the Sith Order, finding the taint of the dark side revolting. She also cannot abide slavers, drug dealers, and other criminal sorts. While she has, in the past, stomached having to work alongside those she finds deplorable, Meira will not hide her thoughts regarding the paths that such people have chosen. However, Meira also believes in redemption. So, while she will not bend over backwards for those she would consider an enemy, Meira will let it be known that there is always a choice and that it is never too late to change one's future.
LOVERS
Very unlikely. She is not without attraction to a certain type, but Meira is a devout follower of the Jedi Code. Were she to ever develop a romantic relationship, it would be with a man who displays a strong sense of duty toward others, who is humble and kind, and has a good sense of humor. Such a man would have to be able to accept the fact that Meira will always put the needs of the galaxy and the Jedi Order above all things, including him.

Dark Empress Renata
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 34, Human, Dark Empress. Renata is gifted in Mind Shard, Force Drain, and Niman style lightsaber combat. Falling from the Jedi Order before knighthood, Renata had been on a path toward insanity until the found the Sith. She has since managed to rise to the pinnacle of power as the Dark Empress. Controlling both the Sith Order and the secular Sith Empire, no other being in the galaxy can match her reach and influence. Renata is particularly skilled in the manipulation of others, using her influence to secure the loyalty of beings who are physically much stronger than herself. The years as Empress and the many attempts on her life have begun to cause Renata's natural paranoia, usually well controlled, to begin to gain footholds in her mind.
FRIENDS
Few indeed. Renata's position makes it difficult for her to be close to others. The tendency for Sith to overthrow their masters makes it near impossible. Renata, therefore, has a circle of those she distrusts the least. These are powerful and useful beings, over whom she knows she can exert some type of control. This makes for a lonely life for the Empress, but it is the life she has chosen, and she will not relinquish it without a fight.
ENEMIES
Potentially everyone. The Republic, of course, but also those within her own Empire. The members of the Inner Sanctum in particular are as likely to attempt to assassinate her as anyone, but Renata guards herself well with layers of protection. The Jedi Order and their Council are specifically her enemies. She knows that their destruction is necessary, unlike most if not all Republic worlds, which could possibly be brought under the control of the Empire.
LOVERS
While she has had a few in her lifetime, Renata does not seek out lovers anymore. Before, they proved to be entertaining distractions, or exercises in her ability to control and manipulate, but age an maturity have brought her past such petty games. Her last love, and perhaps her truest, has abandoned her in his shortsighted selfishness. Perhaps, one day, he will see the error of his ways. Until then, Renata is not particularly interested in lovers.

Ylva Vuk
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 30, Zabrak, Cleaner. Ylva is skilled in the clearing of evidence from crime scenes and the use of vibroblades. The owner of Jolly Janitors, a Nar Shaddaa "cleaning" company, Ylva works exclusively for the Compeer of the Exchange, Lidah Faine. Ylva is a crass and voluptuous Zabrak, fond of good food and good looking men. Ylva is the type to say what she's thinking, especially if it's inappropriate. But she is loyal to a fault, and will not hesitate to jump into a brawl to help out a friend. Hell, she'll thank you for the fun afterwards.
FRIENDS
Ylva finds herself well entrenched with the Exchange and those who are employed by the lovely Compeer. So long as you can enjoy a raunchy joke and hold your liquor, you're likely good in her book. While she may work for Lidah, Ylva does so on a contract basis, meaning that she maintains her independence and sees herself as her own boss. She's not one for taking orders from just anyone, so careful how you talk to her. Ylva is the kind of friend you want at your back when things get hairy. She is strong and practically fearless. What's more, she can cover up any evidence afterwards. She will definitely help you get rid of a body... for a reasonable fee, of course.
ENEMIES
The Hutt cartel in particular, and anyone who makes life hard for herself or her friends. While she's not the "hunt you down to the edges of the galaxy" type, Ylva will not hesitate to erase you if you cross her. Ever practical, Ylva won't hold a grudge if it benefits her. She doesn't take much personal, so someone who was an enemy one day could find themselves allied with her the next, no hard feelings.
LOVERS
Many. If you have a problem with that... then you won't be one of them. Ylva has a healthy appreciation for the male form and makes no effort to hide that fact. She has a particular taste for the tall and muscular types, as evidenced by the Jolly Janitors staff. Though, contrary to popular belief, she is not physically involved with any of her employees. Not usually the relationship type, Ylva prefers purely physical relationships. But she might be persuaded toward something more if the right man were to display interest.

Eris Eldar
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 28, Human, Tal'galaar. Eris is a former slave child who was liberated by Mandalore the Regulator. She has damaged vocal cords, the result of a faulty shock collar. After her liberation, she was adopted into the Mandalorian culture and has taken to it with a fierce zealotry. She is loyal to a fault and believes in the Resol'nare with all her heart. She is not the tallest or the strongest, but woe to whoever finds themselves at the wrong end of her bes'kad.
FRIENDS
Eris holds herself somewhat aloof from others. She is not antisocial, it is just that communicating with others is often a slow and taxing process if they are not well versed in her sign language. Relying on her damaged and scratchy voice can be painful for prolonged conversation, and body language and gestures often don't cut it. She is therefore rather blunt by necessity. Other Mandalorians don't usually have a problem with this, and so she tends to get on well enough with her own people. Above all others, she is devoted to Mandalore the Regulator.
ENEMIES
The Republic and the Sith Empire, while not officially enemies of the Mandalorians, are seen with great distrust in her eyes. They are tolerated. Force users of any creed are her sworn enemy and prey wherever possible. But even worse than they are the dar'manda. She cannot encounter such a traitor and suffer them to live.
LOVERS
Eris is not one to commit by half measures. As such, she does not consciously have room for anything but her devotion to Mandalore and their people in her heart. This does not mean she loves Mandalore in a romantic sense, as he is more of a father figure to her, but she would likely see affection for any other as a sort of betrayal. Even with Mandalore the Regulator's death all but confirmed, Eris would be slow to develop such emotions for another being. If such a man existed that might cause such sentiment to bloom, he would be a Mandalorian to the bone and just as devoted to their people as she.

Viatrix Monserrat
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 32, Humani/Tapani, Arena Promoter, Information Broker, Mecrosa Spy. Viatrix is a woman of many layers. At her outermost, she is a Arena Match Promoter on Prazhi, rubbing elbows with the galactic elite and always prepared to offer the best entertainment on the crucial neutral world. She is charismatic and warm, a friend to all she meets. Go deeper and you find that this well connected socialite is also an excellent source of intelligence... at the right price. But below it all, at the core of her being, Viatrix is an agent of the Mecrosa Order and the Tapani crown. All her endeavors serve her true purpose.
FRIENDS
Everyone. Viatrix is skilled at the art of social engineering. She has built connections with individuals at all levels of society. Everyone has their use, even if they don't know it. ESPECIALLY if they don't know it. It doesn't take much for others to trust her and Viatrix works hard to ensure that trust continues.
ENEMIES
Technically, the enemies of the Mecrosa Order and the Tapani kingdom are her enemies. However, her position requires that she avoid any outward expression of such sentiment. This means that the label of "enemy" often means very little to her. However, she is not above holding personal grudges. Those who skimp on a contract, or betray their word are bound to find themselves the target of her wrath. And though she wields it sparingly, she is as deft with it as she is with her charms.
LOVERS
Viatrix has had lovers, and remains open to the concept. Such relationships, however, are shallow by necessity. More often than not, her beaus are arm candy and short lived. While it is often useful to be attached to one man or another, it is often more fruitful for her to remain desirably available.

Yanna Steren
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 32, Human. Yanna is incredibly gifted in all things mechanical. She is particularly skilled in crafting and repairing droids, as well as starcraft engine repair. She has an exacting eye that rarely misses a detail and can draw or paint detailed scenes from memory. Her brilliance in these areas come at the expense of her social skills. Yanna is embarrassingly deficient when it comes to engaging with other beings. Her overactive mind obsesses over every minute expression, sure that she has offended in some way. If she had things her way, she would never have to interact with other people at all.
FRIENDS
Zozo, her utility droid and Mr. Cuddlebutt, her pet fwit. These are her two constant companions and, in her opinion, the only friends she needs. It's not that Yanna doesn't like other people. It's more that she's convinced others do not like her. Trying to understand other people is constant work for her, and can be exhausting. Patience would be the key to winning her friendship. Take things slow, and allow her time to retreat to blessed solitude. Honesty would be the second most important step. Be truthful and upfront. She would appreciate it greatly.
ENEMIES
If Yanna fears casual social interaction, the idea of conflict could then be categorized as absolutely mortifying. The Archeri invasion has forced Yanna into situations where she's had to occasionally defend herself, so she is not entirely a helpless wretch. But she has certainly never done anything to earn any enemies.
LOVERS
Possibly even more terrifying that physical confrontation. Yanna is not without the instinctual ability to be attracted to others, but acting on such attraction would likely cause the poor woman to faint. It would take a long time before she could learn to distinguish the difference between butterflies in her stomach and fear induced nausea.

Seraphina Verdandi
[attr="class","bottom"]
about
Profile. 45, Human, Special Forces Captain. Seraphina, codename Cresh-34 leads the elite Imperial special forces Cresh Team. She is a formidable soldier, with expertise in close quarters combat, survival, and interrogation techniques. She has seen the worst of combat in the war between the Empire and the Republic. Don't let her age fool you, Seraphina is in her prime.
FRIENDS
Fellow soldiers and others who understand and respect the code of honor in military services. She is not known for her social graces, but very much enjoys the camaraderie of her "band of brothers". Shoot straight, both literally and metaphorically, and you're bound to get along with her. Even those who might technically be her enemy are worthy of respect in her mind, so long as they conduct themselves with honor. It wouldn't stop her from shooting them dead, but at least they'd know there were no hard feelings behind the act.
ENEMIES
The Republic, of course. Beyond anything official, however, Seraphina does not really believe in holding grudges. She isn't above returning insult for insult, but she's not out to make enemies of anyone. War is her life, in many ways, but only because it is her duty. She has no respect for those who let their emotions get the better of them, driving them to revenge and cruelty for the sake of it. Because of this, even her own supposed allies in the Sith Order are given the title out of technicality. She has no real love for them, and could easily find herself at odds with one if they took their power too far.
LOVERS
If she could find the time for such selfish pursuits, she would not be averse to it. Seraphina is only human, after all. He'd better be strong, hard working, and dedicated to a cause however, if he wants to even register on her radar. She does not abide fools, loafs, or cowards in any aspect of her life.
