STRENGTHS
Gurlanin have many unique characteristics that are strengths.
Polymorphic: Members of the species are able to change shape at will and hold that shape for indefinite periods.
Echo Location: Nymeria could easily locate her target by taking advantage of her species ability to locate through reflection of sound. In fact, Nymeria is particularly talented in this skill. As well as with her strong sense of smell. She makes an excellent tracker.
Same species telepathy: Around other members her species, such as her brothers [member="Ra Vizsla"] and Set Vizsla, she is able to telepathically communicate.
While Nymeria would most likely not be classified as a compassionate person upon first meeting or even after spending a lot of time with her. She is reserved, yes, with good reason. In her life she has lost much. And to some it would seem her spirit would weaken, however, she believes it has only made her stronger. Her love of the people she has lost, and the love she feels for the people she has not, is undoubtedly fueling her determination, her drive.
Primary Human Form
Nymeria is a skilled hunter and tracker, and possessed all the traits of one.
Speed: Even as pups her siblings could never manage to catch her in speed, and those were other gurlanin. She could easily hit 96 kmh, or 60mph.
Sense of Smell: She can catch the whiff of a familiar scent from 2 miles away, under favorable atmospheric conditions.
Hearing: While all gurlanin have great hearing through echo location, Nymeria has shown to take this to the next level. She could essentially paint a picture of whatever she was listening for in her mind just through her hearing, to the point where she could see through walls or otherwise.
Growing up, it was not unusual for Nymeria to be making the plans. This is most likely why she fell into the motherly position. Her mind is sharp, as both a warrior and as a historian. She enjoys learning about history and the gods of many cultures. Over her long life she has become very knowledgeable in many areas. She is clever to speak as well, having a truthful tongue yes, but also a sly one.
WEAKNESSES
While Nymeria is fast, that is making up for her lack of pure strength. She isn't towering below others of her race, however she is smaller and in turn weaker. This has in a way made her a stronger warrior mentally but still. This isn't a huge weakness as she is still, regardless of her size, a giant wolf who is taller than most others she will come in contact with.
She values this dearly, to her, honor is incredibly important. It is what decides how the old gods view her and it is what binds her. If she swears on her honor, she will follow through with it no matter what. While she views this as her greatest strength, she does know how it can weaken her. She will always try to do what's right and what she views as honorable. Trickery is not her ways. For example, if she could kill an oppressor in his sleep, she would not. She would let him wake and challenge him to a fight to the death as this is what she views as honorable.
She is well aware of the power of the force, and has fought sith, jedi, even the rare witch or otherwise during her time as a mercenary. That said, many of those times she would have lost horribly without the help of her clan and her racial abilities. She has learned from those battles however, and is now somewhat equipped to deal with the force. However she would not deny it is the most powerful force in the galaxy. A blessing from the gods.
When Nymeria was left alone with her 4 brothers and sisters, she took control as a mother figure. This taught her how to be compassionate, patient, mature, which are all good things. However it also taught her to be protective. When it comes to her family, she will fight until the end. This also translates to her drive as a whole, she is hard to break yes, but even with this knowledge she would fall in battle, she would still fight if it meant someone she loved had a chance to live.
APPERANCE
WOLF-FORM
Nymeria appears in this form around 15% of the time.
In her natural state, Nymeria is a average-small gurlanin. She is muscular in build, especially for her size. And her fur has grown long and is usually ornately decorated to fit that of her liking and status. Her teeth are sharp and straight, her snout being long and edged, rather than rounded. The fur around her body is important to her image, and name, with it being red in certain areas. In fact, her coat is mostly gray around the middle of her body and out, layered with darker grays. The darker strands being braided from her neck down and tied with feathers around them. Each braid is a representation of a battle she has won and each feather attached is picked to symbolize the moment for her. The red fur is around the neck, legs, and layers across the middle of her back. Many describe it like a fire engulfing her, but that is just talk. Nymeria has the most beautiful eyes in wolf form, they are a ember orange and appear as a raging, or calm fire. Her ears are topped with a tuft of hair and are pierced with thin silver hoops across the edges. Her paws are long and sharp with the knife-like claws reaching about two inches. Nymeria transforms much less than she used to, before she met him, she would almost consistently be in wolf form. However she was reminded once that she could be among them, and she has stayed like this. If she does go into her natural form, it would be in a life changing moment. As in truth, she is afraid of her true self; and runs from it.
PREFERRED-HUMAN FORM
Nymeria appears in this form around 55% of the time.
Looking to be in her mid 30s, she is average in height. The main characteristics being her long flowing auburn hair which, like in wolf form, is usually decorated with feathers and braids. It is said that Nymeria's hair appears like fire atop her head and is captivating of both beauty and passion. Her eyes stay similar to the color as her wolf form, a dark orange, and her body is curvaceous and toned with muscle. Down her arms and up her back are a collection of tattoos which she never mentions much about. They tell a story, however one she does not feel inclined to tell. This body is what she calls her preferred body, and she will go to battle in this body, as well as spend most of her time in this body. In this form, she keeps a vibro-axe at her side with a holo-shield on her wrist. No one is sure, but it is rumored that her left arm is bionic. It is not known where she took this body, as she has had it longer than anyone has known her. However Nymeria has continued to use this body as a main for hundreds of years- as it is common for her to switch out her secondary form from time to time but keep this form consistently.
SECONDARY-HUMAN FORM
Nymeria appears in this form around 20% of the time.
A young, mid 20's woman. This body has light dark skin and dark hair which is straight and reaches just above her shoulders. Her eyes are so blue that people often get lost just gazing in them. Like looking into an endless sea of blue. Physically, it is very built, noticeably more than her primary body. In this form she can usually be caught in a jacket, with jeans or pants rather than armor or some type of heavy clothing. She uses this body for when times are easy going, as a sign of peace, and just when she feels like it. She recently picked up the body while visiting a sand planet in the outer rim, it was just a brief stop for fuel but Nymeria recalls seeing a young woman who caught her eye, as she quite liked the look of her body in the first place. When she approached her, she was invited into the woman's home and learned she was caring for a family of six on her own. It reminded Nymeria of herself once so she started using the appearance every now and then.
REGAL-HUMAN FORM
Nymeria appears in this form around 5% of the time.
Perhaps this was once the most beautiful woman Nymeria had ever laid her eyes on. A tall, slender, well curved woman with very long light blonde hair which was as soft as the sand on the most beautiful of beaches. Her eyes in this from were green, like emeralds. And her body slim- her skin pale and soft. It is rare for Nymeria to take on this form, but when she does it is most always for some type of situation which could be completed most efficiently through seduction. She may use this body as well for a type of political event of some sorts where a regal appearance would suit.
OTHER FORMS
Nymeria appears in these forms around 5% of the time.
These are the appearances that she has taken on in the past, previous secondary forms. Like an old library she sometimes returns to to remember what was, however brief.
PERSONALITY
Nymeria is a noble, and honorable. She possesses much determination, and good senses. She was once full of hate and rage, a fire burning without control. She would kill, raid, whatever it took to stay alive. Once she settled into a marriage, she let this new identity take her, that she was not a Gurlanin and she was just a normal woman, and she may have just convinced herself this is who she is. She has yet to come to terms with her identity like she once had.
HISTORY
Nymeria was born among a litter of seven to a loving mother, and a not so loving father. Her early years are hard to remember, however she remembers them as nice- quaint. She played with her brothers and sister roughhousing like any young pup was expected. Things were quiet and it was nice. She recalled her eldest brother Ra, being often distant from the others. And she remembers Set was always picking the fights. She herself enjoyed bossing the others around as a pup. Life was simple then, life was good. It was when her brother Ra left that things started to spiral out of control. No one knows exactly why, or where he went, but it sent mother into half madness. She was devastated by the loss of her son, and not long after she was literally devastated. By the shot of a blaster into her back, over and over. The father took off soon as well, to leave the last six of the litter left alone.
Soon enough Set, the second eldest took off as well to chase after Ra, in a hopes to bring the remaining family back together. See back then, things weren't simple, things weren't that good. Nymeria remembers clearly now, her remaining family. Weeping and crying to the stars, inner fighting for the weeks after- nearly starving to death. Most of the litter were younger than her in attitude, and it was in these years she made the choice to fill the hole left by the loss of their mother. Just because it seemed everyone else abandoned her, that didn't mean she should abandon her family as well. A young pup, less than ten years in age and she was already the mother figure for them. She adjusted to this lifestyle and over the next few years she learned to share compassion and authority, a balance of these qualities. She protected her brothers as they grew even bigger than her. And eventually, they began to leave her as well. Until she was all alone. 16 years old, a young but still fearsome wolf. The last of her family presumably left on Qiilura.
[Bio is a WIP, I have it all planned out but have yet to write it. To summarize, she will be captured by a bad group of Mercs, used as a trophy and shipped around with the main 'clan' of these mercenaries, forced to do their dirty work. She will submit to this lifestyle as there is really no way she can fight back, until the merc group has an uprising by the leaders son. He, being fond of Nymeria will eventually let her free, and she will in turn pledge her allegiance to him. They will get married, and she will start taking on human forms consistently. She will have children with him, and live with him for many years. They pillaged, raided, and did mercenary work. She was very good at this, and perhaps even better then him as a warrior. She was happy, which was important. This was all until he died of old age, and her 4 children would then be murdered by the others in the clan, as with them around, they had the tie to the group leadership. Nymeria would try to fight back, but it's her against hundreds. She manages to escape however, and with one of her young. She will begin traveling the galaxy, for ten years. The lone wolf manages to get a job doing solo mercenary work, the only kind of work she is really good at. She joins a small troupe of smugglers and general law breakers, and she runs with them for awhile. Eventually she gets out of that kind of work and buys a small apartment and takes up a job as a officer, ironically. She did this until in one job, she hears of the great Mandalorian, Ra Vizsla, her brother. At first she didn't assume so, until she saw his picture. The man he despised, she knew this face even after all these years. Nymeria wasn't about to give up her life though for this man. She continued her work for a time, until she heard his name over and over, and eventually it was when she heard the name of another brother. Set Vizsla, that she decided it was time she figured out what was going on. She quits this job and this is most likely where I will begin her story. Just as a reminder, this is all roughed out and yes I know I never mentioned her child and where he or she is, but I will when the full story releases. Until then, here is the outline. Thank you!]
