1. The color of their eyes.Dark whiskey/amber-y orange

2. How old they are.Des took her trials at about the minimum possible age that a person can (and was helped by a technicality in the way that Iridonian natives versus Core-World, majority-human governments determine age) She was born in 9 BTC/3662 BBY, which puts her at around 20-21ish as of the end of the class story.

3. One strange thing/quirk/defining characteristic of their body or physical appearance.(5’1”, so tiny) dancer’s build, hair that always looks like it’s been hacked off around her ears with preschool safety scissors, and a near-permanent fine coating of machine-shop effluvium

4. One strange thing/quirk/defining characteristic of their personalityThere’s a serious military-strategic mind in there under the air-guitar, dinosaurs, and fart jokes. Whether she’s dealing with a single opponent or a million-sentient engagement, she’s got an unusually finely-tuned sense of what buttons to push and where to deploy strength to the best advantage. In addition, Des has odd, sideways Force-talent that turns her into portable morale for any faction with whom she’s emplaced, and poison for an opposing force’s ability to coordinate and cohere.

5. How their parents met.Aler and Ishla Tenau grew up together in an Iridonian clan whose homebase is about thirty miles from the Massani enclave  and fought shoulder-to-shoulder in the first Great Galactic War.

6. Who their first love was, and why they loved themDes loves lots of people. Romantically? She’s had a couple of crushes, but nothing super serious. She’s currently making moogly eyes at Aur Ferrous, but is also very aware of a lot of reasons why now is not a good time to push her luck on that.

7. How/why I came up with the concept for themAt the time of her creation, I had a healer (Ellekai) and a DPS (Nauri), and wanted to roll a character who could conceivably tank to fill the Massani class role trifecta. Des’s rough-and-tumble nature and instigating-little-shit qualities are an in-universe rationalization for defensive cooldowns and taunt mechanics.

8. Who they eventually end up withAaaaaaall the friends.

that was K who is brilliant and this sounds fantastic

i'm not a kid I'M A SHARK: argh

"This is why the contemporary Mando literature, what there is of it, refers to Republic infantry batallions as 'Sur'kyramude'- 'eye-killers'. It usually follows that up with the assertion that tragic wardrobe choices are the only kind of violence at which the Republic excels."

A murmur issued from the back of the group "'s not the only thing they called 'em,"

"Been doing some independent research, Ferrous? Enlighten us."  When he hedged, suddenly shy, Ellekai offered some encouragement. "Man, this may be the one moment in your career when you get extra credit for foul language."

"Het- Heti'oshokita?"

"Like you mean it, vod!"

"Heti'oshokita."

"Jate, jate, and what's that for the benefit of the Basic-speakers in the house?"

He grinned. "A shithouse fire, Master."
