STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Set to Change as Character Develops) :
Strengths;
Weaknesses;
APPEARANCE:
Vess has the disposition of a high born woman. Straight posture, direct eye contact, with shoulders high and proud. She appears a moderate height, with slightly wavy brown hair normally left loose and hitting her just past the tops of her shoulders, though sometimes found piled atop her head when hovering over a text as she concentrates. She has dark bluish-grey eyes, full lips, pierced ears adorned with hoop earrings and an oval-shaped face, one that she attempts to preen if the chance arises as the expectations of women in high society still stick to her in and out of the lower class status she has now found herself in.
Often seen in sage green trousers ladled with pockets, a loose cream colored blouse, and a fitted pocketed vest, Vess travels with optimization for space. She carries a beaded but worn knapsack as well, keeping her few personal items there when she is not renting a space of her own, as once she moves on most of her items (clothes, furniture, books, ect) she collected while renting are sold to fund her next excursion. It took a fair amount of credits to earn them, but she travels with a sturdy pair of leather and steel work boots, so well loved that they have shaped to her footfalls and are comfortable enough to sleep in should the need arise. A simple, small, and relatively older blaster model (BlasTech DL-22) sits idly on her hip, hopefully never in need of use.
ITEMS: Vess has a beaded knapsack that she carries with her everywhere, a BlasTech DL-22 blaster, and most notably, a small digital journal in her knapsack where she keeps notes on her translations and copies her linguistic work down
BIOGRAPHY:
Vess was born on Haidoral Prime into the Alltumore family, an affluent lineage with roots from Naboo, with trades in crystal mining, developing technology, mapping mechanical structures, and architecture as a whole. Raised alongside two elder brothers, Vess was considered relatively dismissable in rank, with a pointed future in matchmaking with another family rather than taking over the family business as her brothers eventually would. Vess was tutored from a young age and found great interest in languages and archeology, thrilled when her family collected new artifacts from mining expeditions across the galaxy, though, eventually finding she could connect with said artifacts if touching them or coming too close once she hit a certain age. This was most notably seen when a worn and broken artifact was uncovered and brought to her family home, a lightsaber broken beyond repair placed in a glass case to view in the grand hallways of her family home. Touching the glass elated a response, a blurry vision of battle with a cerulean saber sword on a desolate planet where its owner perished, long forgotten. This vision sparked Vess’ interest in the origins of the saber, and through the library available to her and through the lessons of her tutor, she was able to piece together some sense of the existence of The Force, the Jedi, and the Sith.
In the privacy of her studies, she attempted to learn more and more about the Force but found the texts available lacking, hiding her abilities and making excuses if she overexerted herself when attempting to use them - thus creating a narrative that she was a frail and sickly child, all through her life into her years as a young adult. This left her coddled by her family, and stressed to have her matched and married into a good family that would take care of her, should she ‘debilitate’ further, as far as her family were concerned.
Eventually, she was indeed married at the age of 23 to a wealthy mine owner of a family once opposing the business of her own, thus stitching the families together and leading to a merge that benefitted both greatly. Over the course of two years in a loveless marriage, she traveled extensively with her husband, planet to planet, thankfully producing no children, and upon rationalizing no requirement to stay; leading to a grand escape in the hustle and bustle of Coruscant.
Vess disappeared into the vastness of the Core Worlds with a fair amount of credits under a new name, bouncing to and fro and taking the odd job when they fit her talents.
Now, Vess continues her new life, searching for more answers to what the Force is, what it holds, and how to use her abilities to best fit her situation in life, all while hiding from the guise of any bounty still searching for Vessandra Alltumore.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Set to Change as Character Develops) :
Strengths;
- Diplomacy comes with the territory for a child born into wealth, and Vess befitted greatly from her lessons in such. Properly charismatic and having a dashing smile aids her as she makes connections through the galaxy, often (though unfortunately not always) giving ease to those she interacts with. She has a way with her words, choosing them carefully and thoughtfully, and this thoughtfulness translates into her actions. She can forgive and forget faster than she should, her grudges saved for those who have truly wronged her.
- Vess has a steadfast knowledge of many planets and their key spoken and written languages, as her interests and drives lead her to first and foremost seek knowledge. She can mull through a sentence in Ryl to get her point across, understand Binary babble, and translate older texts to Basic if she has the time. Her passion is in linguistics, eagerly taking the odd jobs available to her specialty when they arise. Not every language is her forte by any means, but there are a fair amount she can understand and translate, or will push herself to learn if the need arises.
- Psychometry is the one and only true Force ability that Vess has registered. The ability to pick up impressions and traces of information about objects she touches led her deeper down her linguistics path, finding remnants of force clinging to artifacts framed rather avariciously in her family's home. Touching objects directly gives the strongest sensation and vivid reflection of the Force, but Vess is still able to feel some sensation if she is close enough and pick up trace trickles of the Force to see, hear, or smell the impacts left.
Weaknesses;
- An inability to process the raw, sheer, power of the Force, and becoming overwhelmed to the point of physically reacting when interacting with those projecting the Force to this extent. This ranges from feeling lightheadedness to making herself sick if the Force hits her too suddenly. This is, fortunately, easing as she maps her own abilities in the Force, but has found that using her own abilities can have the same exhausting effects should she push herself.
- Credits, as common a vice as they may seem, can sway Vess further than she would care to admit. Having previously lived a more lavish life, where she did not want for much, had a full stomach, and comfortable accommodations have made her crave the amenities that only credits can give her. Materialistic to a T, she seeks out a trail of credits and can be found doing mundane specialty tasks because of this, devoting much of her free time to working instead of training her mind or abilities further. [ A deeper sect to this is that Vess craves Comfort. The chance to live without hardships, to live free, to live well. This can be easily manipulated too by those skilled with their own type of charismatic natures and ability to keep… Promises. ]
- Having lived previously somewhere between Nobility and the general Upper Class thanks to her family's infrastructure of mining, mechanics, and technology, Vess is still getting used to the world beyond rose tinted glasses. The reality of the realm has slapped her dead in the face many times, but her inability to understand the livelihoods of others, customs, and the very real scars of war in the galaxy have left her stumped time and again. She needs a reality check to stick, and quick.
- Technologically inefficient. Vess is no splicer by any means, and tends to get frustrated with technology that requires her attention.
- Vess is still learning self defense, and though she is quick on her feet and ready to flee at a moment's notice, that still leaves much to be desired for her abilities with the Force, and hand to hand combat or melee attacks. Her best bet currently are ranged attacks with a blaster. She needs ample training but doesn't give enough time to such, leaving her defenses lacking aside from a disappearing act.
