Name: Siana Hess
Species: Kiffar
Age: 30
Affiliation: New Republic / business associate (Various).
Appearance: Typical Kiffar hairstyle, worn in neatly arranged dreadlocks of a deep brown in colour, synched at the back of her head. Her eyes are a very dark shade of brown/gold.
She bears a tattoo on her left cheek, which consists of several interlinking lines to create a pattern pertaining to a group of smugglers who operated in the system she was born in. As such, she once was one of them, but has since reformed in light of more lucrative arrangements.
She is young and fresh faced, not stereotypically beautiful, but unusual to look at if one were to take their time. Her rather utilitarian style of dress pertains to her passion of choice - everything and anything mechanical, and she can often be seen with a hydrospanner in hand.
Personality/ Brief History: Born and raised in the outer rim territories, Siana Hess often looked at those entrepreneur types, from the core, with rather an even amount of disdain. She was raised by her parents, who were both high-flyers in the world of smuggling, and had a great deal of respect for the unlawful trade in unusual items.
Just like her mother, she had inherited a no-nonsense attitude to life, one that would often lead to a confrontation if the company she kept was less than desirable. More often than not, her mouth would be able to get her out of situations such as these, as many believed the idle threats she knew fine well she could not entirely back up.
When she was old enough, her father began to teach her the finer points of tuning up, disassembling and reassembling ship parts of all kinds. Siana developed an insatiable appetite for fixing, modifying and reselling such items, and often took up positions in the crews set up by her father's associates for various runs around the outer rim.
Her quick thinking can be a valuable asset when the pressure is on, especially when the issue is mechanical. As too, can be her natural ability with psychometry - as with most of her species, she has the ability to sense an objects history through physical contact.
Despite a hard-nosed exterior, and a love of getting her hands dirty, Siana has a very loyal side to her. Betrayal is not an option, and the recent political issues surrounding the Yuuzhan Vong war so far, has left her torn in many ways.
Many of those she grew up with, have joined the peace brigade, it is something she herself was faced with, but as yet, has chosen to decline the offer of joining them, fearing that when the time comes, the Yuuzhan Vong will turn on them too.
Strengths: A natural ability to sense the history of almost any object she can physically touch. A comprehensive use of a small hlaster pistol which she carries with her at all times. Her ability to turn what most would call junk, into something useable and useful.
Weaknesses: Her friends, if saving them compremised a mission, she might well do just that. Melee combat, anything past a scuffle or small fist-fight, she is utterly hopeless at.
Psychometry, it can often distract her from the task at hand, and often does so at the worst of times.
