Appearance Face Claim • Rooney Mara Height & Weight • 5'3" | 121 lbs Overall Looks • Io is a rather diminutive example of her species, standing just a little over five feet tall with a wiry thin build. She bears a striking appearance, with several facial piercings and jet black hair cut short in a severe, asymmetric style that frames six cranial horns of a dull, brownish grey. Facial tattoos prominent on her forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks and in addition to those Io has several tattoos in a similar style patterned from her shoulders down to the small of her back. Her eyes are a cold gray-blue which, coupled with a pale complexion and the bold, contrasting makeup she occasionally likes to wear, lends an intensity to her look that some find jarring. Io's style of dress is fairly casual, androgynous, and in some cases very nondescript. Half button tops with long sleeves, greasy work shirts and plain tank tops along with skinny leg trousers that have seen plenty of wear make up a good portion of her wardrobe. Accessories like leather bracelets and slender chain necklaces are often tucked away under clothing. Io gets chilly easily; thus it's very common to see her dressing in layers, with one or occasionally even two jackets worn over her regular clothing, many of which are hooded. Personality Profile Two short (or one long) paragraphs (minimum) about personality. What traits make you unique? Background Father • Bex Kovir, 58, Swoop Racer, Gambler, Con Artist Mother • Anja Mai-Kovir, 55, Slicer Other Important Connections • Plono Bodge, 47, Forger & Information Broker, Former Employer/Adoptive Guardian Lyra Sato, 28, Smuggler, Friend, Confidant Etic Vaan-Dara, 36, Black Sun Underboss, Former Employer/Mark ES0 "Eezo", 109, Outdated Exploration-Scouting Droid, Companion Overall History • Lost Souls in Revelry The smell of fuel and engine grease dredges up bittersweet memories of two individuals who led a full, satisfying life. Bex Kovir hailed from Iridonia, but left at such a young age that he always considered the galaxy at large more of a home than the planet he hailed from. From his earliest days he was a risk-taker, a thrillseeker, always recklessly throwing his life on the line while he chased after that euphoric high. He found his niche in swoop bike racing as a young man, and his skill and daring behind the controls took him across the galaxy from circuits on Corellia, Coruscant, and Brentaal to far flung underground circuits on places like the Smuggler's Moon in Hutt Space. Win or lose, no challenge was passed up. In addition to the modest living that racing brought with it, Bex's fortunes rose and fell with a gambling habit that always saw him betting on himself. Bex and Anja were brought together when Anja was tasked by her employer with fixing the odds in a swoop race, which the zabrak racer was favored to win. Naturally, Bex bet on himself, so when he won at longshot odds he had no complaints about the outcome. Dumb luck brought them together after the race, and over the course of a few weeks, the pair fell hard for one another. Being in the company of the other was a thrill in its own right, and they became so inseparable that Bex eventually threw away a promising career on the galactic circuit, choosing instead to race in smaller, local circuits just to remain on Coruscant. Starting a family had never been part of the couple's plan, but all the same when it did happen they embraced it. Using credits from Bex's career as well as substantial winnings from gambling on his own races, they set themselves up running a swoop garage on lower Coruscant. Even with his career taking a backseat to his affections, Bex intended to stay as close as he could, supporting local talent while making a modest living as a mechanic. |
