Mal Durrish | Star Wars Legends Canon OC | OU Character

Player Name: C

Contact: c_for_characters on Plurk

Invited by: Pedro

Other Characters: N/A

Character Name: Mal Durrish

Canon: Original Character, Star Wars: Legends

Canon Point: Roughly close to the end of the "Star Wars: Jedi Academy" game in Legends-era canon.

History: Basic biography is Here

Personality: While there is some personality in her history link, I'd like to give a general sort of summary overall:

There are two major facets to Mal's personality. Herself as a Jedi, and herself as a person living beyond her past.

In the former case, she has complete faith in her abilities and the mission of the Jedi - to protect the innocent and those who need help. To do good, whenever and wherever you can. In terms of using her abilities to do so, she has absolute confidence that she can do the right thing.

On the other hand, there is her past sitting beneath that like a yawning gulf. Since she was artificially given her abilities, she views herself with a bit of imposter syndrome. That she's doing what she does as a sort of knock-off, artificial Jedi. Her past haunts her, from a shame about the scars she accumulated while a dark side acolyte to a desire to 'make up' for her Imperial service.

This leads to a sort of reticent personality at first, an aloofness; but people she understands (fellow orphans, for instance) she is instantly drawn to, in understanding.
The hardship of her early life has, however, engendered a confident, sarcastic humourous style - and a fierce affection for the people she grows close to.

Time of Arrival to Kaisou: Immediately

Items: Her lightsaber, with built-in stun baton; bryar pistol, personal energy shield, repeater rifle, her old dog tags, and a stuffed Tauntaun. (Pretty sure the clothing she's wearing doesn't count?)

Retained Ability: Mal would come with her Force abilities, which do have an overall-range of effects, but they are definitely levelled in terms of effect. In the game that inspired her, there are three levels to force abilities - a weaker first level, a medium second, and a full-on third. She'd be limited at the first - essentially slight/brief enhancements to her movements, limited telekinesis, and a very limited healing ability.

(Note: Perfectly happy to fiddle with the powers part at mod request!)
