[SIZE=12pt]STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Strengths: Syler is a skilled healer, focusing most of her force powers on the healing arts. She was a battle medic for some time and knows weapons better than many people. Wounds and weapons are how she finds balance. She is a melee combat expert who has practiced with staves, swords, daggers, and other close quarters weapons. She doesn’t enjoy using blasters or projectiles but she will if pressed. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]When she is working as a medic she is driven, focused, intensely obsessive about her job and making sure things are done correctly. [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]In her work with either weapons or anatomy[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] she is an expert and has a very take-charge attitude. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Weaknesses: Syler is extremely hot-headed and quick to snap decisions. As much as she has tried to keep her cool, it is easy for her to lose her temper over small things. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]She is also fiercely untrusting. People are terrifying and she does not let people in. If she does, it takes convincing and a lot of gentle work to break down barriers. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]She is extremely sarcastic and rude in most of her speech. She does this to keep people away but it often leads to keeping people even further away.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]When she isn’t working she allows herself to be sloppy, uncoordinated, lazy, and full of anxiety. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]She has a severe attention disorder, making her either [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]hyper-focused[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] or unable to concentrate at all. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]She might[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] have a drinking problem… [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]APPEARANCE:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Syler is a fit, lithe woman with an athletic build. [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]She sports the typical snow-white[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] hair of the Echani people and she definitely exhibits signs of training under the Sunguard. Her figure is almost that of a dancer or a martial artist. Her body is almost entirely muscle. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Her skin is relatively pale, mostly unblemished, and with a fair few soft freckles across her nose and cheeks because of sun exposure. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Her hair is stark white and usually kept long, but braided or pulled back in a bun. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Her eyes are [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]gray[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] but often reflect back as a pale blue. However, there is no real color present in them, they merely reflect hints of the colors of her environment/clothing. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]She wears minimalist clothing. Bandeau tops and arm wraps with flowing pants and knee-high boots. Sometimes jackets or longer tops if the weather requires it. She refuses to wear anything that restricts her movement, however. The arm wraps cover extensive scarring on her forearms and wrists from her former life and she rarely shows those portions of her skin. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]BIOGRAPHY:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Syler was born to Echani parents on Eshan and raised in a traditional manner. Her primary form of communication and expression being combat. Both her parents were proud traditionalists and were concerned when she began expressing exceedingly violent tendencies. Her focus was unmatched when she wanted it to be and when that focus was on combat[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] she was difficult to stop. They longed for her to become a Firedancer, but her natural disposition proved to be too much. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]By the time she was sixteen, she’d developed a bipolar disorder. She varied wildly in [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]temperament[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] from driven, focused, and dangerous to apathetic, flighty, and emotional. This caused her to be unpredictable at any given moment and led to a halt in her training. She retained the beliefs her parents instilled in her (control over the body, communication through movement/combat, and a value for art and motion) but she never finished her training in the Echani martial arts. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Instead[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt], she was sent to a Jedi temple for training in meditation so that she could learn to focus and control her mental state. Initially[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt], it wasn’t believed that she had any Force sensitivity, but over time and with much patient practice her abilities were discovered and fostered into adept control. In order to achieve balance, her master chose to train her in Healing and all related skills because of their opposition to her upbringing devoted to combat. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]After six years of training, she developed quickly and her bipolar disorder lessened in its intensity for a time. Her focus on control and balance helped her and at the age of twenty she was traveling the galaxy as a battle medic and defending small field hospitals. Her master felt comfortable knighting her and sending her out into the world to do good, but she quickly devolved when faced with real-world scenarios. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]From the ages of twenty-two to twenty-six, she traveled with an older medic named Hale who escorted her across the universe and trained her in battlefield-specific tactics. He was relatively charming and her superior officer in the field. He developed an attraction to her that was unhealthy and predatory. He threatened her and blackmailed her, all the while attempting to flirt and charm her as well. It eventually became physically abusive, hiding the abuse as self-harm injuries that, with her mental health background, were taken as a slip back into instability for her. She was dismissed from the field and sent back to the temple to be re-trained. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]No one believed her side of the story because of the rank difference between her and Hale. Him being a decorated veteran battle medic and her a mere trainee. In a burst of uncontrolled emotion, Syler lashed out at the council when they ruled that she was to stay at the temple indefinitely for “Observation” and she showed a display of anger/frustration/anxiety that led to her being forcibly removed from the Jedi order for her direct insubordination and unwillingness to cooperate with their ruling over her case. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]At the age of twenty-seven, she traveled away to Nar Shaddaa and worked as an unaligned healer in a run-down clinic. In her attempts to avoid force sensitives of any kind, she gravitated to working with smugglers, con-artists, mercenaries, and crime syndicates as a “healer-for-hire” who didn’t ask questions about where injuries came from. Her “don’t ask don’t tell” policy made her marginally popular. And her knowledge of melee weapons assisted her in knowing how[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] to heal just about any injury. She never stayed with one group for long, refusing to trust anyone and form attachments. She preferred to work during mental upswings and then hide when she was in a down-spiral. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]For five years this method has worked for her and she’s bounced between overpopulated planets helping different groups with her unique skill sets. She’s hidden her mental illness fairly well and avoided recruitment into any one order. Most crime syndicates are willing to overlook her lack of loyalty because they know they can trust her to keep their secrets. [/SIZE]
