FORCE SENSITIVE: No
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+Technology-based psychometry - By focusing her natural Kiffar ability for psychometry on picking up echoes from technology, she is rarely affected by normal objects and does not need to wear gloves to keep it in check.
+Intelligent - Of course, she can't base everything off of the luck she receives with her ability. She has to know what to do with the information she steals from the datapads and terminals she slices, after all.
+Stealthy - She knows how to blend into the shadows or the background, how to not draw attention to herself and how to escape when she's succeeded in her goals.
-Not physically-inclined - Oh, sure, she is no weakling who falls over with a breeze. Nira prefers to use brains over brawn, however. Since her strategies rely on not being caught in the first place, she won't be able to physically overpower many opponents.
-Prideful - A rather successful businesswoman make for a proud individual. Losing the element of surprise, getting caught in the act, or even sincere insults can easily enrage her and cause her to make sloppy mistakes. After all, she's one of the best at what she does, how many can show her up?
+/-Nonchalant - She tends to not care what others think of her personally as long as they respect her professionally. As such, she tends to have a careless "friendly" attitude with most she meets and tends to ignore when someone is getting annoyed with her unless they lash out. If she truly respects an individual she tends to call them increasingly ridiculous nicknames but there are few she would seriously consider friends.
APPEARANCE:
Nira is an average near-human, though on the shorter side at 5'5", with dark brown eyes and curly black hair that falls below her shoulders. The Kiffar clan marking she has is cyan in color, and goes under her right eye corner to corner in a crescent moon-type shape, and dips down to follow the shape of her nose. Her muscles are lean and built more for sneaking and speed than pure power. Her hair is normally loose and her every day clothes tend to be dresses with loose sleeves with a lot of color. If she is working, she will take the time to pull her hair away from her face into a low ponytail and wear clothes dark in color and closer to her body.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born on Kiffex, Nira was a normal child growing up in her clan. She had two older siblings and both of her parents had large families that would take turns caring for the clan's children. Nira's psychometric ability began to manifest when she was around 6 years old. At first, it was overwhelming and she spent several months struggling to get a handle on both it and herself. Her hard work paid off when she realized focusing it towards datapads and other electronics dulled the edges of the echoes she received.
It took her a few years, but by the time she was 13 years old she hadn't had an echo from a mundane object in a year. By 14 years old, she no longer had an echo from anything she didn't specifically look for. It was easy for her interests to turn to learning how to slice, starting small with hacking grades for her and her siblings and escalating to siphoning credits into an account for herself. Her parents eventually caught wind of her activities and forced an ultimatum: Give it up, or leave.
She left.
Kicked out by her family soon after her 18th birthday and unacknowledged as one of the clan, she spent a few more years stealing and honing her abilities for an even stronger criminal intent. She started to make a name for herself in the criminal underworld as a slicer-for-hire and info-broker, taking on whatever jobs entertained her or offered the most credit. This eventually led to her being contacted by the Black Sun Syndicate to infiltrate the Spire, a max security prison, and help break out their new recruits. Eventually, the price she was offered far outweighed the blow to her pride at her part in the plan requiring her to get caught.
