Background
Kira Veynn was born in the Unknown Regions, far from the Core Worlds, in a secluded Chiss family with strong ties to the Ascendancy’s intelligence networks. From an early age, she displayed an unusual intuition and reflexive abilities—gifts that could not be explained by science. Her family considered these powers dangerous, something that could draw unwanted attention. Kira was quietly sent away under the guise of a “diplomatic assignment” to a small outpost on the edge of Wild Space.
It was there she first encountered whispers of the Force. She never received formal Jedi training—only fragments of old texts and holorecordings scavenged from derelicts. Her connection to the Force was raw, untempered, and deeply tied to survival rather than ideals. When the Clone Wars erupted, Kira stayed out of the galaxy’s spotlight, working as a smuggler’s shadow—running freight, slicing intel, and occasionally using her uncanny senses to keep her crew alive.
But when the Empire rose, everything changed. The crew she trusted betrayed her to an Imperial agent after learning of her powers. Forced to slaughter them in a moment of desperation, Kira fled—haunted by guilt, with the blood of her closest allies on her hands. She’s sworn never to trust blindly again.
Now she wanders the lower levels of Coruscant, a world that reflects her own fractured soul. The glittering towers above are a distant dream; down here, life is brutal and short. Kira works with a band of scoundrels and renegades, more out of necessity than loyalty. They run spice, weapons, and information through the undercity—always one step ahead of the Empire and the gangs that rule the shadows.
Kira doesn’t see herself as a hero. She doesn’t fight for ideals or rebellions—just survival. The Jedi Code means nothing to her; the Sith’s lust for power disgusts her. She walks the gray path, wielding a rare ashen-gray lightsaber, a weapon salvaged and rebuilt from broken pieces. Its color mirrors her fractured allegiance: neither light nor dark, but forged from necessity.
Motivation
Morality
Cynical & Guarded: Trust is earned slowly. She hides her true feelings behind dry humor and sharp sarcasm.
Protective: Despite her cold exterior, she’ll risk herself for her crew—though she’ll never admit it.
Haunted: Flashes of her past (the betrayal, the slaughter) bleed into nightmares and influence her decisions.
