The war has taken something from us all. Many of us who live in the Alliance try to ignore the war, we try to live our lives as though it did not exist. We attend school, play with our friends, drink at bars, and watch holovids as we fall asleep. But we can not escape this war, a conflict that is as inevitable as it is unnecessary. It seems as though the Empire and the Republic, or whatever else they choose to call themselves through time, are destined to go to war. Time and again this conflict has come, and time and again the cycle has repeated itself. The Alliance will lose, the Jedi will die, and the Galaxy will become oppressed, all in a bid to bring the Jedi back to who they once were. The Sith and the Jedi, each in turn, have tried to annihilate each other, and to no avail - for we are the same and yet we are different.
I have struggled to avoid this my whole life, to be normal, to go about my life in the vain hope that, somehow, this war might be different. My father and my brother fought to make sure that it would be different. But they were taken from me - Saleucami was the point where everything turned. The battle that had raged in space had stolen them from my life, and I could no longer avoid the fact that we would all be changed, for better or worse, by this war.
I can no longer avoid who I am - bound to the Force, struggling to understand the differences between the Light and the Dark Side - is there really such a thing? The chosen one was once one of the greatest Jedi, then too one of the greatest Sith, and finally, released from these conceptions, he became one with the Force. Maybe I, too, can find the Force - hopefully I will not have to walk such a treacherous path. I choose to be a Jedi, even knowing that I will lose this war, and that I, too, will die. I will do this, because maybe through this journey I will become greater than the self-interested person I was, watching holovids as my father and brother floated through space.
Composition and Appearance
Maya Sunfighter is a 24 year old 5'2" human woman, 116 lbs. with a fair complexion, long hazelnut hair and shimmering azure eyes. Though healthy and fit, Maya Sunfighter is nonetheless significantly weaker and less agile than more athletic people of her age and size. As a woman who has spent much of her recent life avoiding conflict, Maya's only real capability is her charismatic attitude and keen social awareness, and to a lesser point her ability to quickly learn new subjects, a trait gained through the years attending schools that many people, drafted into the war, have avoided. Maya Sunfighters is probably best identified by her remarkable dimples and the unique crinkle of her nose as she smiles, and secondarily by the clothing she likes to wear that shows off her body.
Personality
Maya is a sassy, independently minded woman who prefers to figure things out on her own rather than be lectured to, but is remarkably patient and attentive nevertheless. A natural socialite, Maya has a knack for convincing other people on the best course of action, though her lack of training means that she's not often able to reliably determine that course herself. Nevertheless, her charm and wit allow her to make unlikely friends and prevent hostile situations from escalating out of control.
Likes & Dislikes
Ever the urban plebian, Maya is a woman who loves to interface with technology, watch holovids and play games, and even go drinking from time to time. Maya has had several lovers in her life, but none ever so serious as to make her settle down, wed, and raise a family - a goal she would like to accomplish before she dies, if nothing less than as a tribute to the sacrifice of her father and brother. Maya's chief dislikes are idiots, ingrates, and the selfish, but she's also not extremely fond of bugs, slimy creatures, alien food, or even many aliens for that matter.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Maya's personal charm and good nature put her in many people's good graces and can often help her avoid what is perhaps her greatest weakness, fighting. Trained only in how to utilize blaster pistols by her father as a child, and without much athletic skill, Maya is best suitable for non-combat situations, though her fiery determination and stalwart bravery means that, despite her weakness, she is not averse to using violence to solve situations that cannot be solved by other means.
Abilities
Being raised in a military family has certain advantages, and though Maya has not utilized the skills her father has taught her in some years, Maya has a natural affinity for learning how to fire weapons, namely blaster pistols, as well as interface with technology and perform tasks like hacking or controlling remotes.
As well, Maya has a natural connection to the Force. Part of her charm and charisma entails manipulating her Force signature to mask her true feeling, an action which Maya has no conscious awareness of. She also has the ability to quickly heal other people's wounds in hours when they would naturally take days, though likewise the change does not occur rapidly enough for her to notice. As well, Maya is aware of her ability to see, though with limited understanding, what will happen in the very near future, something which has heightened her reflexes and helped her anticipate conversations. The only Force ability which Maya is currently aware is a Jedi ability is her limited telekinetic powers, which as a regular person she would use to entertain herself when she was bored but would never let her friends see, for fear they would revere her and pressure her to become a Jedi.
Biography
Maya Sunfighter was the last child born to an Alliance military family, her mother passing away during childbirth. Her father made time for her as necessary, often bringing his family aboard the small vessel he captained during times of peace. Aboard the vessel, Maya was taught well my her fathers communications droid in matters of history, math, and science, although Maya would often deviously hide from the robot and play games with him aboard the vessel. Becoming good friends with many of her fathers fellow crew men, the crew would laugh as the protocol droid would struggle to navigate the ship half as well as young Maya.
Maya's brother, Antoni, enlisted in the Alliance military when he reached adulthood and became a skilled fighter pilot, and Maya enrolled in a public university on Corellia. The conflict between the Sith and Jedi claimed the lives of her brother and father shortly after Maya had graduated from university with a degree in political science, a nearly useless degree which presented few job opportunities but helped to shape Maya's thoughts on the galactic conflict.
With the death of her father and brother, and a complete mobilization of the Corellian economy, leaving few job openings available for someone of her skillset, she was left adrift for a year before finally settling upon pursuing the one course of action she knew would best honor the memory of her family - joining the New Jedi Order.
Despite being accustomed to the coldness of space and the jarring lurch of a hyperdrive, Maya Sunfighter had never felt more exposed and vulnerable on her journey to Coruscant - a world under siege - than she did now, unsure of her future but eager to become the best person a Sunfighter could be.
