Character
-
Nima Torr is a Lethian Twi'lek with bright red skin, standing at 5'8" and weighing 154lbs. She has a lean, athletic build with long, toned limbs and a curving waist. Her athleticism and strength come primarily from her lightsaber training, leaving defined biceps and triceps. At the same time, toned and flexible legs speak of an individual ready to launch herself at a moment's notice with the natural grace of Ataru.
Her facial tattoos are a series of intricate, symmetrical designs that adorn her lekku, forehead, cheeks and jawline. The patterns are bold lines and curving sweeps that follow the shape of her face. Centring in her forehead with a stylised Y mirrored on each side by curved wings. Expanding further out into further curving lines until reaching down towards her lekku where they continue to wrap around further and further in ringlets until ending shortly before the bottom of her head-tails.
Nima's facial features are only further emphasised by her tattoos, highlighting striking features, including high cheekbones and a sharp jawline. Her most vivid feature is her almond-shaped golden eyes, which are almost amber in the right light.
Those same tattoos similarly emphasise the length and shape of her lekku's, the black bands failing to fully wrap around the broader base before gradually meeting closer to the significantly shorter tip. The section at the top of her head is a drastic comparison to the almost dagger-like points that reach mid-back.

Nima Torr's Primary Lightsaber - The eight-inch hilt of Nima’s lightsaber is made of a Arcetron-Cerakote alloy with detailing and embossing made primarily of durite for a darker finish that blends in with the original base and has gradually grown more detailed over the years. Its almost elegant form, including the shaped leather handhold, is juxtaposed with the four-bladed edges of the handguard. On one side of the hilt, the ignition switch is located close to where her thumb would usually sit, while controls for the intensity, blade length and power wrap around the outer edge of the hilt, ending on the opposite side from the ignition switch. At the bottom of the hilt, the charging port is protected by a noticeable cap on the pommel.
As for the thirty-one-inch blade, Nima’s original illum crystal still remains with her as the years pass, emitting a soft green glow that stands resolute against the darkness.
Nima Torr's Secondary Lightsaber - The dark blue blade of Nima's secondary lightsaber is connected to an older and otherwise more simple design; the only noticeable addition to the hilt is a bladed handguard with six-pointed edges.
Jedi Travelling Cloak and robes - Traditionally, as a member of the Jedi Order, Nima Torr is used to wearing the traditional travelling cloak, which, combined with her lightsabers, serves as a recognisable but modest uniform. A lighter shade of white and tans are preferred underneath, though she also possesses a more combat-orientated alternative.
Jedi Synthweave bodysuit - Created with her skills in mind, Nima Torr’s armour is composed primarily of a synthweave bodysuit that favours manoeuvrability. Around her collar, metal clasps are designed to keep the general shape of her hood, which can be lifted, providing a more recognisable silhouette which harkens back to her time as a Jedi. A large belt provides support for holstering her sabres while her gloved hands are otherwise preoccupied.
Below her waist, small segments of synthetic leather form a short-kama to provide some shape to the lower half of her outfit, creating some formality to the bodysuit design, along with the front hanging cape, which harkens back to a monastic scapular. Underneath the kama, the synthweave is reinforced with additional padding, some of which is highlighted with a bright orange to provide some colour to the overall monochrome design. Her knees are protected with metal kneepads, held in place with magnetic seals within the bodysuit, which link up with connection points in her black leather boots.

From her earliest days, Nima Torr displayed an innate curiosity for the people around her, her peculiar force-sensitivity for the thoughts and feelings of others acting as a catalyst for a relentless pursuit of understanding their emotions and reactions. Nima saw deciphering the intricate mindsets of her peers as a challenge, adapting to glean insights from both physical cues and her Force readings. The presence of older Jedi mentors capable of shielding from her, while frustrating at times, only fueled her intrigue further. This curiosity blossomed into a profound interest in sociology, serving as a gateway to extensive explorations into the diverse cultures and histories of various races and planets.
The demands of her intensive education often clashed with Nima's personal pursuits, resulting in days teetering on the edge of exhaustion. The watchful eyes of her caretakers (most notably Master Parn) intervened, redirecting her attention momentarily. Over time, as she matured, her insatiable thirst for knowledge learned to coexist with the wisdom to prioritise self-care. Yet, when faced with particularly intriguing or troubling developments, her dedication to learning can make self-care the first casualty in her priorities unless friends are there to drag her back.
Regrettably, the numerous wars and disasters has left Nima with a sparse circle of individuals she could consider true friends, as many of her former support structures are either deceased or occupied with their own endeavours. This circumstance has compelled the Jedi to explore paths she might not have considered previously, even at the peril of compromising her moral standing. Though she has not yet took the most dangerous steps, guidance is needed before she makes critical mistakes.
Nima Torr considers droids inherently lesser, their disconnection from the force a sign of something lacking even for those that appear more intelligent. The loss of a droid is no great hardship, although she acknowledges the bonds that some organics may form with droids; to her, they are tools comparable to a favourite datapad. Their only impact to be felt in the lives they affected, often for the worse with the disasters of the past.

STRENGTHS
Knowledgeable - Nima Torr serves as a living repository of knowledge, accumulated through extensive studies and firsthand experiences across a myriad of worlds and cultures. Her vast and diverse education, combined with practical encounters, has made her exceptionally well-versed in a wide range of subjects. This intellectual wealth allows her to draw parallels between new scenarios and past experiences with ease.
Whenever she faces a situation, Nima often recalls relevant anecdotes, seamlessly connecting present challenges to past lessons. These stories might stem from her own adventures or from the extensive archives of the Jedi Temple’s renowned library. Her ability to link current events with historical or cultural references provides her with a unique perspective and a deeper understanding of the complexities she encounters. Whether advising allies, negotiating with adversaries, or strategizing in the heat of conflict, Nima’s extensive knowledge base is an invaluable asset that continually informs her actions and decisions.
Telepathic Strength - Nima's innate aptitude for the mind arts grants her profound insight into the thoughts and emotions of those around her, endowing her with a remarkable talent for navigating the intricate web of tense social interactions. This heightened perceptiveness allows her to deftly unravel conflicts and mediate disputes with a keen understanding of underlying motivations and hidden agendas.
In combat, this psychic acuity becomes a formidable asset. Nima can anticipate traps and foresee dangers by sensing the intentions of her opponents, especially those who lack mental shielding. Her ability to read and influence minds gives her a strategic edge, enabling her to predict enemy movements, counteract ambushes, and adapt her tactics on the fly. This foresight not only enhances her own survivability but also provides a tactical advantage to her allies, making her an invaluable leader and strategist in the heat of battle.
Aggressive - Nima's exceptional connection to the Force enhances her speed, agility, and overall combat effectiveness, making her a formidable opponent. Her deep attunement to the Living Force allows her to anticipate and react to threats with uncanny precision, often before they even materialize. This heightened sense of awareness, combined with her proficiency in telepathy and mind-reading, enables her to stay several steps ahead of her adversaries.
In combat, Nima's mastery of the Force allows her to seamlessly integrate her physical prowess with a variety of Force techniques. As she executes her swift and precise attacks, she uses Force Push, Pull, and other telekinetic abilities to manipulate the battlefield, keeping her opponents off balance. Her ability to sense and exploit the weaknesses of her enemies through the Force creates a dual assault that is both physically and psychologically devastating.
Nima's aggressive combat style is further enhanced by her adeptness at Force-enhanced acrobatics, which complements her use of the Ataru lightsaber form, and capability in Jar'Kai. This style emphasizes rapid, acrobatic movements and relentless attacks, allowing her to maintain constant pressure on her opponents. By combining her physical attacks with strategic Force maneuvers, Nima creates a multifaceted onslaught that overwhelms her adversaries. She uses her Force abilities to disrupt their focus, exploit their vulnerabilities, and ensure that they are constantly on the defensive, struggling to keep up with her relentless offense.
WEAKNESSES
Intensive Style - Due to her chosen fighting style and general approach, Nima struggles with relatively poor stamina. The fast and furious assaults characteristic of her Ataru form demand a high expenditure of energy, which can quickly deplete her reserves. Her relentless, high-speed attacks are designed to end conflicts swiftly, capitalizing on her agility and precision to overwhelm opponents before they can mount a prolonged defense.
However, if a battle drags on longer than anticipated, Nima's endurance can wane significantly. The intense physical and mental exertion required to maintain her aggressive style makes it challenging for her to sustain prolonged engagements. This vulnerability means that in protracted confrontations, she may find herself at a disadvantage as fatigue sets in, potentially compromising her effectiveness and leaving her susceptible to counterattacks. Consequently, Nima must carefully manage her energy and strategize to ensure her swift, decisive tactics achieve victory before her stamina is exhausted.
Droid Frustrations - Nima finds combat against droids particularly challenging due to their lack of a connection to the Force, which makes them harder to sense and predict. Unlike organic opponents whose thoughts and emotions she can often detect, droids present a blank slate, devoid of the mental signatures she usually relies on. This absence of a Force presence frustrates Nima, disrupting her usual combat strategies.
As a result, she often becomes more aggressive when facing droids, compensating for the lack of intuitive feedback by intensifying her physical attacks and more obvious force uses. This heightened aggression can sometimes lead her to expend more energy than necessary, potentially compromising her endurance in extended battles. Her frustration with droids’ insensitivity to the Force pushes her to adopt a more relentless and sometimes reckless approach, aiming to quickly neutralize these mechanical adversaries before they can exploit her lack of mental foresight.
Peacekeeper - In contrast, when facing organic foes, Nima Torr is predisposed to seek a peaceful resolution whenever possible. Her deep empathy and understanding of the thoughts and feelings of living beings drive her to avoid unnecessary violence, even if it means putting herself at risk. Nima believes in the potential for redemption and negotiation, often attempting to de-escalate conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy before resorting to combat.
However, her commitment to peace and her ideals has its limits. While she is willing to endanger herself in pursuit of a non-violent solution, she steadfastly refuses to allow others to suffer as a consequence of her principles. If the safety of her allies or innocents is threatened, Nima will not hesitate to take decisive action. She balances her desire for peaceful outcomes with a fierce protectiveness, ensuring that her compassion does not become a liability in the heat of battle. This duality reflects her complex nature as a Jedi, one who values life and peace but is also prepared to fight when necessary to defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Nima Torr was born on the remote world of Raxus Secundus, where her innate connection to the Force led to her early induction into the Jedi Order. From a young age, she displayed remarkable potential, earning her a promising start as a Padawan. Her closest bond was with her fellow trainee, Zen Narroh, whose companionship became a cornerstone of her emotional growth. Alongside her future Master, Vare Alloros, who took her across far reaches of the Galactic Alliance's influence, even garnering experience in distant Star Temples.
However, Nima's journey of discovery was not always so positive, shaped by both joy and tragedy. At the age of fifteen, during an emergency evacuation of a planet caught in one of the Omni disasters, her best friend Zen sacrificed his life to save her and others from a dire situation. This profound loss instilled in Nima a deep sense of justice and a lifelong determination to honour Zen’s sacrifice.
The years that followed were a blur of intense training and tireless service to the greater galaxy, all in memory of her friend's sacrifice. Nima Torr dedicated herself wholeheartedly to honing her skills and fulfilling her duty as a Jedi, ever mindful of the lessons learned from her past experiences. Advancing both her knowledge of the force and her lightsaber forms, her experience with numerous training partners not just from the temple but also the Star Temple provided her with an edge against most individuals, especially as she began refining and finding her own form with knowledge taken from the variations of Form V and Form VI.
Reaching the age of twenty, Nima Torr stood on the threshold of knighthood, chosen by her master to proceed with the Knight Trials. Each trial tested her abilities, resolve, and commitment to the Jedi Code, pushing her to her limits and beyond. Eventually completing the full length of her trials over the next two years, Nima Torr would go on to serve as a faithful Jedi Knight, exploring the Galaxy and serving justice where possible.
Now, at the age of twenty-four, her story continues.
