Lifelong Nerd, Roleplayer, Writer and Philosopher
(Yeah, the colors are off and her build is a bit different, but there are precious few good Bothan pictures out there...)
Name: Zikri Vel'syk
Faction: Rebel Alliance/Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Rank: N/A
Species: Bothan
Age: 21
Sex: Female
Height: 5'5
Weight: 111 lbs.
Eyes: Turquoise
Hair: Black
Fur: Reddish-brown
Force Sensitivity: No
Strengths:
Natural agility: The lithe, thin Bothan, while delicate in her lanky appearance, can move both swiftly and dexterously when properly motivated.
Analytical: Keen, observant and naturally curious, Zikri picked up basic investigative skills due to her upbringing with her beloved Uncle, a retired security officer, who taught her of his job from a young age. The Bothan is versed in criminal psychology and security tactics as a result of this background.
Stealthy: The Bothan is naturally quiet, and, due to her Uncle's tutelage, she can infiltrate buildings, scout locations both hostile and neutral and easily and naturally utilize disguises due to a brief, if failed foray into comedy acting during her teen years.
Vibroblade combatant: Due to a small amount of training with a fellow officer and dear friend, Zikri has begun to learn the arts of fighting with a vibrosword and a vibrodagger, and shows much promise with the smaller blade, even despite her petite appearance.
Sniper rifle combatant: While Zikri is, of course, proficient with and possesses an average amount of skill with both blaster pistols and rifles, the young Bothan has shown exceptional promise as well as the natural patience required to become a well-versed long-range combatant.
Detective: Zikri's childhood was filled with stories of police life, both fictional and real, which have aided her in strategizing, intelligence analysis and in sometimes aiding the Alliance's military police.
Weaknesses:
Acrophobia: The Bothan is terrified of heights, and can hesitate or fall into a panic unless aided around such locales.
Aquaphobia: Large amounts of water, in any form, terrify Zikri immensely, especially when she must face such a hazard alone.
Paranoia: While more open-minded then most Bothans when dealing with aliens, if Zikri has a bad first impression of anyone for any reason, and partially due to her detective's upbringing, her natural stubbornness can lead to her being unable to open up easily around that person, for better or for worse.
Physically weak: Despite the above-mentioned skill with bladed weapons, the little Bothan is lanky and thin, and has little in the way of proper muscle.
Easily Angered: Zikri cannot handle interpersonal conflict well, due to an ingrained sense of sarcasm she picked up from her Uncle's more misanthropic associates. In addition to this, a deep hatred of protocol droids is apparent, due to a childhood incident in which a malfunctioning protocol droid assaulted her by attempting to pick her up, shake her and screech into one of her ears, all while she was naught but a toddler.
Appearance: Standing at 5'5, Zikri is a petite-framed, (usually) short-haired and lithe Bothan who could pass for a male with the right kind of outfit. Red-furred and dressed usually in an odd combination of Duros and Corellian-related civilian-wear when not in her uniform, while, the Bothan is a quiet, demure philosopher who largely prefers to be left alone in large groups, with only one close companion at her side. Her turquoise eyes set her apart from most other females, and her somewhat shy nature is offset by an unusual sense of humor and sarcasm, though she only shares this with her deepest and most trusted friends, oddly enough. Her uniform is covered in dark, albeit mismatched pieces of light armor to allow for flexible movement during combat, when needed. Thin, lanky and graceful, even by Bothan standards, Zikri Vel'syk's natural beauty (as considered by her own kind) is offset by a biting, sarcastic and rebellious outlook that easily serves to mask her shy, reserved and scholarly nature, which she only shares with those closest to her. Red-furred, black-haired and bearing a dark gray stripe over her right eye, the Bothan cuts her aforementioned hair short to avoid the appearance of girlishness (or "weakness", as she calls it) and has dyed a single forelock a bright shade of purple, merely because she thinks it to be stylish. The Bothan dresses in an odd manner, usually wearing torn, loose-fitting breeches, a tight-fitting shirt over her petite torso, an oversized leather vest bearing many deep pockets for holding various tools, ammo packs, spare credits and blaster components or, when not on-duty, and a datapad, with which she may study philosophy or review police and military strategy, among other things.
Biography: Zikri Vel'syk, is a young, introverted and tomboyish Bothan who is rebellious and headstrong in the face of traditional Bothan values. Feeling largely alienated from the laws and customs of her own kind, despite having once been a loyal information broker of the SpyNet, and in a streak of rebelliousness against her only living relative, an eccentric uncle, young Vel'syk did the impossible: joined the Rebellion against the Empire as a front-line soldier. It was after finishing her training and becoming a soldier, with a knack for working with strategy and analysis, as well as scouting, that the young Zikri sent a message to her uncle, informing her beloved relative of her plans to fight oppression, long after he could have done anything to stop her...
