Strengths And Weaknesses
- Strengths:
Man Of The People: Nikjaime is known for his more charitable acts toward the less fortunate. He prides himself on making opportunities for those who otherwise would have few, and has used his own good fortune to fund various community projects
- Experienced: Before he settled on Nar Shaddaa he ran with a group of Corellian mercenaries; capable of handling a blaster, piloting smaller vessels, and dealing just the right amount of pain without causing irreparable damage, Nik is more dangerous than he lets on
[*]Both:
- Morality: While he may be a criminal, Nik likes to think himself honorable at heart. He will not target the poor and desolate, instead focusing his attentions on those with far too much money and not enough conscience. This means that there are times where he will walk away from the deal of a lifetime, simply because the recipient isn't his type
- Crime Lord: Though not as well known as many of Nar Shaddaa's criminal scum, he has made a bit of a name for himself in groups such as the Hawk's Circle and has a decent sum of money squirreled away which he invests into the outlying community. His life is filled with danger and treachery, but he wouldn't have it any other way
[*]Weaknesses:
- Cruel Streak: Despite the fact that he'd love to claim a moral high ground, he is known for having quite the temper if you catch him at the wrong moment. While he is not really one to raise his voice, the fact that he remains calm in his rage can prove all the more unnerving
- PTSD: Facing week long bouts of insomnia, unpredictable bursts of rage, and an occasional case of paranoia, Jaime's experienced on the battlefield have left him more than a little broken. He's never without a weapon close to hand, though there have been times when he has choked and been unable to pull the trigger even when he probably ought to
- Bacta Allergy: Nik is a Kolto kind of guy. Contact with Bacta will leave him with an itchy rash, and ingestion will cause him to become violently sick. While most medical facilities carry the alternative, due to the fact that it is sourced in so few places it's a more expensive treatment, and if he's not conscious to inform someone of his allergy then problems can, and have, arise
- Without A Home: Though biologically a Morellian, Nik is a Corellian at heart and was devastated by the loss of his homeworld. Many of his loved ones and closest friends were lost during the breaking of the planet, and any mention of the planet leaves him bitter and somber
Relationships
- Family:
Most of Nikjaime's family died during the Netherworld Event; he is unsure if any remain to this day

Pre-Roleplay History
Just like everyone else, Nik was born to a Galaxy torn apart by war. There proved to be little in the way of consistency, and his beloved homeworld was frequently the target of hostile takeovers by governments that barely looked its way once it happened to be within their influence. This was the world he was raised into, one of conflict and instability, and as soon as he was able he like so many others joined those fighting for peace and order, for a life of prosperity and hope.
But nothing seemed to change.
As the years passed he found himself becoming frustrated, bitter, and when he realized that doing things the right way would not work he turned to less agreeable means. Joining with a mercenary group, Nikjaime would spend the next decade of his life wrapped up in immoral acts in an attempt to subvert the work of those Galactic powers which rose and fell as swiftly as the tide. Interrogative techniques turned torturous, information was extract through brute force, and yet it seemed as though their work was done for them most of the time, governments collapsed as quickly as they were formed, and thus the cycle of chaos continued.
The people of Corellia knew little in the way of self-governance. Not that he was ever around to see such for himself, from the moment he left his visits became less frequent until the most devastating news of all finally reached him. It had been five years since he had last stepped upon her ground when Corellia was broken in two, the climax of a particularly strange and Galaxy-shaking series of events which left everything, everywhere, in shambles.
During this time those great powers who held worlds within their iron grip were weakened, many worlds knew freedom and yet Jaime himself had never lived to see it for his own. Not in any real capacity. Though attempts were made with moderate success to ensure the two halves of the broken were livable, in his eyes the land he had known since birth was gone, his family lost during the splintering.
With nothing left to fight for he hopped around the Galaxy in search of a cause, before sinking what little savings he had into drink and stims in the toxic landscape of Nar Shaddaa. It was there, while down on his luck and headed to an early grave, that he was pulled from his misery by one [member='Arekk'] Daesharacor, drafted into the Hawk's Circle.
It was there that his life began anew.
