| Former Job: | Writer |
Before the Empire rose, Nila was a writer, with minor connections to the blackmarket for the purpose of writing. Her home planet stayed out of the war because as a species, the Kimet'iana cannot leave the planet without dying except sometimes in the case of serious psycic intervention due to the distance limited mental-bonds, or kori, that they all form. Sidious decided that these bonds were too close to Force usage for his tastes, and ordered contact with the planet to cease, going so far as to order that the Kimana system hyperspace beacon, which sends out location data for use in hyper space calculations, be taken out of commission. Nila was one of a group that wanted to maintain contact, but she was the only one willing to actually attempt to leave the planet to find the hyperspace beacon and fix it.
In doing so, she met Savit as he was doing maintainence on the beacon, and then Arkaitsz and Atrom when they were driven there be a force vision. Arkaitsz was able to patch up and rebuild Nila's mind and to provide her with more Jedi style bonds to anchor her to the world. As a result, Nila decided to travel with the group.
Job
As a part of the crew, Nila is the ID inventor, with connections to forgers from her writing research. She sometiems acts as a grifter. She also acts as Tinor’s nurse/surgical assistant when necessary, though her training comes entierly from modules rather than anything formal, and is mostly focused on trauma surgery.
Fighting Skills
Nila has some skill with a blaster, with better aim than Treis. She sometimes works the ship guns when they get into a fight in space.
Languages
Nila can speak Kimana and Basic.
Relationships
Savit Altan Aruna
Nila and Savit are quieter when it’s just the two of them without Arkaitsz, but they’re still louder than Savit and Arkaitsz tend to be. Unlike Arkaitsz, Nila does have silent work things to do with Savit, both fake IDs and personal writing, but usually Nila will put on music while they do so. When not working on their silent things, they’ll sometimes watch non-Kimana movies, usually aiming for ones in Nila’s field of expertise that Nila can explain as they go. They’ll also get into arguments about frivolous things as a part of Nila teasing Savit, but Nila tends to tease Savit far less when Arkaitsz isn’t there to be their straight man. The pair of them also tend to be the ones playing board games and dragging everyone else into playing them too. There was one year where they insisted on playing a new one every week, using the holo table setup.
Miron Ise
Nila, like Arkaitsz, got to know Miron first. Unlike Arkaitsz however, Nila is safe. She was and continues to be a civilian in a way none of the others really are, and Miron could easily defeat her. However, she does have Arkaitsz’s protection. Her personality doesn’t trigger any of of Miron’s instincts - too vulnerable to be an equal or superior, but none of the fear of an inferior. She’s the one who coaxes Miron into voicing an opinion in the Darkside debates, and she’s the one who notices how Miron’s always got an initial fallback position after the Sith morality, often two, and that Miron’s arguments are much more certain at that one’s final fallback, while also being not in line with, or even contradictory to that one’s early fallbacks, even if the specific point wasn’t refuted, or was praised. She’s also aware of Arkaitsz’s attraction - before Arkaitsz is even, and finds it interesting that it tends to be associated with when Miron has fallen back to that one’s second fallback, and the way that one defends it. Nila was interested in Miron-Moros, and willing to evaluate that one as a potential metamour should Arkaitsz find a way to satisfy their guilt as she had figured out how to satisfy their guilt over herself, and willing to allow that she might feel ready to change such in the future, but unwilling at that point to personally involve herself. The feelings from that lingered past the realization and through Arkaitsz realizing that the person they are attracted to is Moros rather than Miron, and easily settled into Miron as a more literal in law rather than loverly in law. And Miron was really happy for the stability that Nila had as fond of that one but not intimately close, and thus not super betrayed by the revelation, as well as her consistent feelings across the revelation.
Moros Ise
Nila’s feelings on Moros, on the other hand, are more complicated. Like Savit, Nila only got to know Moros after the reveal. She was more initially reserved about Moros as a metamour because to her, Moros was more the one in charge of that mess, and thus the one to be more wary of. It also took longer for Nila to get to know Moros, even through the medium of body sharing - than it took the others, simply because Miron was more comfortable with Nila, and thus Moros felt less inclined to take over. But once she did have a chance, they found they could talk for hours about religion and spirituality. Nila did a lot of research into them for her writing and also just because she wanted to, and thus comes at it from an academic point of view, while Moros comes at it from a religious specialist internal point of view with that one’s training, as well as a more cohesive (if not internal) view of the current Bane Sith line’s perspective that Moros wrote copious notes on when Miron let that one so as to be better able to distinguish Banite Sith philosophy from Leroti philosophy from that one’s own personal philosophy.
Atorm Itnal
Nila has practiced shooting blasters and the ship cannons with Atorm and Savit, and if they’re in a dogfight she can man the second canon turret, but she’s not good enough with blasters to get into a face to face firefight when she’s more valuable on the ship as Tinor’s nurse. Savit’s built up a good rapport, and they’re close that way, but they’re not so much emotionally close, so Nila and Atorm don’t feel a need to make an effort to get closer. Atorm does occasionally ask Nila, as the only person on the ship with a normal upbringing what that was like, more wistful than jealous at this point. On Atorm’s visions, Nila is interested, but due to the council’s anti-vision stance, there’s little Atorm can tell her beyond the oft repeated “Sith can induce misleading visions.”
Tinor Jason
Nila took up nurse/surgical assistant duties because someone needed to do so, and her with her normal life until the Empire decided to close off Kimana’kase just couldn’t compete with any of the others in fighting, shooting or flying. Separately, Nila has also found herself writing more violent stories on and off with much less violent stories, so the medical expertise Tinor has is very helpful when she’s writing those. On the other hand, Tinor 100% did not have training as a trauma surgeon, so he’s frantically accessing medical texts and doing vr dissections and operations and frantically trying to do the research to cover all of the many different species that he’s found himself in charge of.
Arkaitsz Kaya
Arkaitsz’s partner in teasing Savit. Nila’s mindset is kind of weird in the sort of way where in urban fantasy she would 100% date a vampire, and it would start out for her as 100% for all the cultural information, both vampiric and human, that she could get. Nila and Arkaitsz work really well improving off each other, and Nila draws Arkaitsz to be more expressive and happy in relaxed settings. Arkaitsz on the other hand, is good at getting Nila to be all smooth the way they’ve found works for them gathering information as stripper bars. Arkaitsz also tends to be more careful around Nila when alone due to the whole mind rebuilding thing. Nila had to actively push to get Arkaitsz to consider anything, and for a while there there Arkaitsz was really dipping bad Dark over guilt and despair before Terys, as kind of the expert in this crew in philosophical arguments about freedom (though 100% among his people he’s a jock who barely skims the surface), steps in, and gets Tinor to do an examination, but it don’t get truly resolved until Miron, Inquisitor Mind Fucked Over own self, who would know, checks for lines of influence.
Treis Kelech
Nila’s not very close with Treis, seeing him more as a friend in law through Savit. She will participate in Treis and Savit’s rpgs on occasion when offered the chance, but prefers the complete control over her own story to the rules-mediated improv first draft of a story. They’ve talked about maybe writing some of the campaigns with Savit into books, but it just Disney work out for Treis because he has work or other things he would rather do, and Nila’s narrative voice is distinct enough from Treis’s that she finds she doesn’t like the end product of her solo editing. However, Nila is one of Treis’s backup option when shooting, and they have things worked out perfectly there - neck touches to notify of presence, and the Treis doing cover fire as Nila takes the time to aim since she has better aim.
Isha Kiri'e
Like with Savit, Isha kind of sees anything to do with Nila as Arkaitsz’s business because of their relationships to them. Isha’s assessment of Nila is favorable for much the same reason as her assessment of Savit. On a more personal level, Isha quite likes Nila’s writing, and will read it and discuss it with her. In the context of Arkaitsz, coming from outside the Jedi system and decades after Arkaitsz’s graduation, Nila is a little more objective on how Arkaitsz and Isha treat each other as equals. Her assessment was along the same lines as Savit’s, putting them as siblings, and while exact relative station recontextualized some things, she still saw them more as siblings than parent child. But, she don’t know how far that extends into commanding she ship and falls back on the common assumption is Isha.
Terys Osseri
Not very close, but Nila will sometimes sit in on the theology debates. Like Savit, Terys finds her, as connected to Arkaitsz, vaguely terrifying
Torkal Rheiss
Nila’s asked him about infiltration and spy stuff for her writing on occasion, not close otherwise
