Faction: Neutral/Sith inclined
Rank: Apprentice
Age: 512
Gender: Female
--------------------
Personality: Surreal is generally a very fiery person. She has opinions and is willing to back them up with a stiletto if needed. She is friendly, referring to people with familiar nicknames or other manners of speech that are less formal. She is at the core, a deeply wary person who has experienced a lot of trauma and suffering, but has risen from that with an iron resilience. Street wise, she tends to be compassionate to others in worse situations and sometimes that can be used against her. Deep down, she is a carnal and visceral being, and at times when that part of her rises up, she can be rather macabre.
Likes: Reading, sneaking around, writing in her little black book, killing, gardening, cooking.
Dislikes: Being pushed around, weak people, being discriminated against for either her race or her gender, stereotypical males, males who abuse their power, males in general.
Crushes: Strength, power, commanding presences.
--------------------
Force Abilities:
Art of the Small - A radical Force technique. By narrowing their focus, a Force user could essentially shrink their presence in the Force to a microscopic size. While in this state, the user could operate molecules in any way they wanted, turning them into something completely different.
Force Weapon - A Force ability that allowed the user to imbue an unpowered weapon with the Force for a brief period of time. By channeling energy into the weapon, it allowed the wielder to strike and do more damage than the weapon's simple appearance would suggest. As a useful side effect, a Force-imbued weapon could be used to block lightsabers without damaging the weapon.
Specialties: Surreal is extremely skilled in stealth, along with acting. She has been taught how to utilize the abilities of both her races. Most of her combative skills resolve around knifes and poisons. She knows a handful of languages and easily picks up new ones.
History: Surreal was born into slavery. Her mother, Titaian was one of the concubines to a wealthy man on the planet Hefi. Her mother had managed to enter into a tryst with a Shi'ido, although she had been tricked by the man as he had taken the form of her master. When she found out she was pregnant, Titian refused to terminate her child and instead acted as if it really was her master's spawn that she bore. From an early age, Surreal learned to use the shapeshifting powers passed down to her by her father in order to change her appearance to one more aligned with the man who owned her and her mother, and because of that her "father" never suspected a thing.
Still Surreal was a bastard child, nothing more than another illegitimate kid running around. When she grew older, it became apparent that she had also inherited the beauty of her mother. Because of that she was trained in the art of pleasure, and soon followed in her mother's footsteps. While this was going on, her mother fiercely began to train Surreal to fight, imparting her knowledge of knifes and offensive skills to her daughter. Surreal took to that training much quicker, although they worked hard to keep it a secret.
Her "father" was fond enough of her that he had Surreal educated in the conventional manner, and she grew to learn languages with something akin to a natural talent. When she was twelve, Surreal returned to the chambers she shared with her mother to find the woman lying on the floor, with her throat sliced open. Taking the light saber that was her mothers secret treasure, Surreal ran from the room. She and her mother had formulated a plan on what they would do if the chance ever arose for them to escape, and now Surreal made use of it.
Life on the streets of Hefi was hardly any easier for such a young child. She used her skills, and took advantage of her rather exotic beauty. Whoring herself out, Surreal soon began to make a reputation for herself as those who didn't pay began to show up stabbed. She grew skilled enough that most payed, and those that didn't were easy enough to handle. After several dark gruesome years, she was found by a mysterious man. He took her in, giving her the locations of several safe houses around the planet. Taking the role of a mentor of sorts, he told her that there were many ways a man could die, and splattering his blood on the walls was only one of them.
He never stayed for long, always disappearing only to show up randomly, but the man took care of Surreal. When she asked later, his only answer was that he had known her mother. Daemon would show up for a few hours, or a whole night if she was lucky, and impart knowledge. Tell her the title of a book she should read, or instruct her on a better way to hold her knives when she was throwing them. He paid for private tutors so that her education could be furthered, both her book education and her real life education.
Still working as a whore, Surreal also employed herself as an assassin. She chose her jobs carefully, and considered them her lucrative side hobby more so than an actual job. Her name as a whore slowly became more and more famous, and her skills as an assassin were whispered about.
After a century, Daemon stopped showing up. He was still out there she knew, but the mistress who held his strings had plucked him away. Surreal changed planets, moving on and making a name for herself. She spent some time on the planet of Malkii, seducing one of the assassins there and convincing him to teach her his art. Then she moved again, to another planet. And again, and again. Surreal kept moving, always staying just long enough to feel the monotony settle in.
