 Thanks to RaikohIllust <3 Maya Nornel Full Name • Maya Vasi Nornel Nickname • Vas Race • Togruta Birthplace • Shili Age • 19 Gender • Female Sexuality • Unexplored Faction • Republic Concept • Adventurous researcher Languages • Basic, Togruti, Binary, Huttese, Sith, Shyriiwook Assets • Robotic arm (left), Medical supplements, Personal AED (built into suit) Spaceship (two person) Appearance Height & Weight • 4'4 feet, 80lbs Overall Looks • At first glance any strangers might look at Maya and think she is a child however this is not the case. Due to Higbotchde's syndrome Maya’s growth has been stunted making her appear much younger than she is. Unlike the usual pristine blues and oranges which are familiar to Togrutan Maya’s skin is a light grey. This unusual pigment disorder can be seen in her purple eyes as well. Though usually covered by her clothes Maya left arm is completely robotic up to her shoulder were a dark scar can be seen. Most days Maya wears a black one piece suit with a red trim. Thin and flexible its nanoweave provides adequate protection from the elements. On the upper most section of the suit just over her breastbone rests a red diamond which acts as AED for her weakened heart. Personality Profile For the most part Maya is a happy go lucky person though she often doesn’t show it. Caught up in her own thoughts or research it can be difficult to reach the person underneath. Once the ice has been broken, you’ll find a person who loves nothing more than reading a good book and eating sweets. Though not prone to show it Maya is a sweetheart when it comes down to it but often finds that people reject her because of her appearance. Maya can be quick to anger when other dismiss her because of apparent age despite the fact she’s a lively, intelligent adult. Physically weak she chooses to use her words in conflicts rather than throwing fists. Unknown to Maya she possesses some talent for the force. Often these abilities come out without her knowledge. Usually during times of great stress, or absentmindedly when she is living day to day. Generally, these effects are beneficial to her well being but often enough they can cause her to mistakenly throw something or trip over her own feet. Background Father • Rankall Nornell, 50, Mechanic Mother • Nera Nornell, 45, Nurse Siblings • Half sister, ?, ?, ? Overall History • Born on her people's home world of Shili Maya's early life was a difficult one. Inheriting a debilitating disease known as Higbotchde's syndrome left Maya in a rather fragile state. This syndrome caused defects in the hosts heart and pituitary gland, while not immediately life threateningly it placed a constant burden on her life. Physically weak Maya spent much of her childhood in doors where she discovered a love for knowledge. Though she might not have been able to travel she could at least visit far off places through books. During this period of confinement, she spent her time reading, researching and eventually performing experiments of her own. At the age of twelve she far outpaced any children in her appropriate educational level and was given scholarships to many universities. Finding that this education would allow for greater freedoms Maya left home though not without limited parental supervision. Despite her vast mental capacity her syndrome had stunted her growth leaving her parents worried for her safety. It was natural of course for them to be concerned Maya knew, but after so many years she wished for nothing more to be on her own for once. Fighting for freedom Maya began to act up, rebelling against her parents and any figures of authority; much like any teenager might have. At some point during her college years an accident involving to much alcohol and currently banned experimental tech resulted in an explosion in the campus labs. At ground zero of the disaster it was a miracle that Maya's body survived... more or less in contact. Rushed to the hospital the doctors were baffled to see the limited extent of the damage to her body. The resulting explosion had blown her left arm clear off and stopped her heart yet the rest of her remained undamaged. Though many attempts were made to restart her heart the weakened muscle did not respond. Maya was legally dead for ten minutes before her heart restarted seemingly on its own. After the injury Maya's education was put on hold for some time as she recovered. With crippling medical bills, the idea of cloning a new arm was forgotten. Rather Maya’s father constructed one from scrap metals from his work. Though it lacked the shimmer and awe of a new mechanical limb functionally it was the same. Maya’s college years went by steadily after her accident. Having the ignorance of youth expelled from her body she buckled down and fell into her studies. Though arriving at deaths door had shaken her it didn’t dispel the fire to explore that burned within. Racing through her studies Maya wished for nothing more than to leave her home and see the vast universe. After six years Maya proudly held a masters in biophysics with a minor in mechanical engineering along with various other tidbits of knowledge she picked up along the way. Now nineteen and unburdened by her education Maya is fully functioning adult with a bright future ahead of her. Though where she would go… that was up in the air. She’d spent so long in one place confined with rules she isn't sure what to do with her new found freedom. Other Background • Higbotchde's syndrome- A syndrome which causes the reduction of growth hormone, as well another chemicals in the hosts body. This can result in reduced height, lack of pigment,or abnormal pigment in the eyes and skin as well as heart defects. Higbotchde's also lowers bone density and muscle mass. This syndrome only affects females and severely lowers the chances of conception. *Note, not all symptoms may be present in a person. |
