Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Extreme Intelligence: Wan Min holds two Ph.D.'s in Old Republic History and Old Republic Archaeology and did so in under six years. She is also an amateur engineer and spends a great deal of time studying ship design. She has something approaching an eidetic memory for certain topics, namely history, archaeology, ship specifications,electronic specifications, and galactic cartography.
+ Galactic Encyclopedia: Due to Wan Min's education and eidetic memory she is a walking, talking encyclopedia of galactic history. Ask her about her field of study and she can go on for hours.
+ Engineering: Wan Min is an amateur hobbyist engineer and enjoys studying the inner workings of starships, speeders, and other vehicles. She puts this skill to use as a salvage operator.
+Force Sensitive: Wan Min is Force Sensitive, but her family chose not to have her trained in the force.
+/- Clumsy: She isn't the most graceful on her feet and has been known to drop tools, stumble over exposed conduits, run into walls, and short out electrical equipment on her own ship. But, she has been able to get out of some tough situations because people have either taken pity on her or considered it an endering quality.
+/- Absent-minded: Wan Min is the quintessential academic who is no longer in academia. She has a tendency to forget small things while dealing with other larger issues. Again, most of her friends and business associates consider it an endering quality and cut her slack.
+/- Dishevelled Appearance: She spent most of her twenties in academic circles. As such, no one really cared how she looked as long as she produced results. Her hair is usually a mess, clothes wrinkled with spots of engine grease or lubricant, and she does not usually spend a lot of time thinking about how she looks. This has helped her out in the past as she does not look like someone with two doctorates and has passed in some seedier bars and cantinas when she otherwise would not have been able to.
- Arrogant: Although she might be clumsy and absent-minded, she can be arrogant to a fault. If she thinks she's right and someone says otherwise, she'll ignore the other person's advice and go with what she believes. When proven wrong, she will usually not admit otherwise.
-Overly Trusting: Wan Min has been burned on multiple occasions because she is too trusting. She spent too many years in academia where the worst she had to deal with was the occasional competitor stealing a paper topic, and as such is too quick to trust people, even the wrong people.
-Naive: Again, too many years in academia and a sheltered upbringing means that Wan Min is naive to the way that the galaxy actually works. She has had a tough time trying to figure out how to get from place to place and negotiate without much experience.
-Book Smart: This goes along with her naivete. Wan Min spent too many years in academia and in a sheltered home life and not enough time around everyone else. This means that she has a tendency to walk into bad situations and not be able to figure a way out without outside assistance. It also means that she has trouble negotiating with shady people and less reputable individuals.
-Inaccurate: As Wan Min never had any real weapons training, she's incredibly inaccurate with her blasters. She needs real training and marksmanship experience to get anywhere near adequate with her weaponry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance:
Wan Min usually wears normal Outer Rim/Spacer attire of brown pants, a white blouse, and a brown cloth duster. Most of the time her clothes are stained with engine grease or burn marks from constant upkeep on her ship. She wears her hair down and does not bother to brush it most of the time.

Biography:
Wan Min Brightsky is part of the old Brightsky clan, a family of salvagers and shipwrights from the Outer Rim who managed to establish themselves on Coruscant before the Gulag Virus struck. In the centuries that followed, the Brightsky clan amassed a fortune building vessels and running licensed salvaging operations for the Alliance and the Coruscant planetary government. As such, Wan Min was brought up the relative lap of luxury on Coruscant. Her grandfather used to tell her stories about the family's origins in the Outer Rim and her ancestor, David Brightsky, and his adventures after the Yuuzhan Vong War so many centuries prior. She was discovered to be Force Sensitive at an early age, but her family chose not to send her to training. Instead, they enrolled her in the best schools on Coruscant where she excelled in history and archaeology in secondary school. When she began college at Coruscant University, Wan Min decided to double major in Old Republic History and Old Republic Archaeology. She passed all of her classes with top marks and was selected to attend doctoral courses. She received two Ph.D.s in Late Old Republic History and Late Old Republic Archaeology in record time. Wan Min was labeled as a wunderkind, someone destined to reshape the very foundations of the fields she worked in. She believed she was bound for greatness.
However, once she received a tenured position at Coruscant University after graduation, things began to fall apart for her. Her mother and father were killed in a tragic aerocar crash coming home from dinner one evening. Her grandfather passed away shortly thereafter, but not before asking her to see the galaxy before settling down to a comfortable life as an academic. Three months after the deaths of her parents and grandfather, the university informed her that her tenured position was cut and she no longer had a job teaching. After that, she decided to take her grandfather's advice and see the galaxy. Using her large family inheritance, Wan Min was able to upgrade her family's old Consular Class Corvette, the Star's End, that had been with them for hundreds of years in storage back to flight status. She took the old family utility droid, T3-D4, that had also been with them for as long as the Star's End, the blasters that her ancestor used and that had been considered family heirlooms, and decided to make her way to the Outer Rim where her family ancestor David Brightsky had once built the foundations of the Brightsky clan. Taking a page from the family history, she decided to go into salvage for herself.
"The best way to see the history of the galaxy," she told her friends when she was leaving, "Is to piece it together yourself with your bare hands!"
