I used to write fanfic long ago..
I'm aware that we are not an RPG group, but I thought I would share just ONE of the many variants I have played on my same character since 1999. This particular character version was for a specific storyline with a couple friends written some 7 years ago, and while it has some similarities to how I normally portray her, it also has some key differences. Maybe I'll try to find each of the other profiles sometime to show the different versions.. If I were to play the character again, though, there are a lot of things I would change. I'm pretty sure I would rehaul the backstory again and then tweak a few things about personality and whatnot. I always tried to play my character older than I was, but now that I'm passed that actual age I see things much different. *shrug*
This variant was where my character was in hiding under an alias, so the profile is split up with information about the alias and the character. Without further ado.. I give you Sionna Trekina circa 2005 in a Star Wars Alternate Universe-type storyline..

History Elektricia Shiekara-Karon was born in Bandor, the capital city of Bandomeer. At that time, the planet was still undergoing a change from an industrial wasteland to an inhabitable center which had a main export of mining materials and refineries. With the onset of the Empire, this didn't look like it would be so. Her father, Megsari Karon, was the elected govenor before her birth, and he had been the main contributor towards the "rehabilitation" of the planet.
Elektra grew up as Princess with her parents and her mother's close friends, Reshala and Lotir Trekina. The Trekina's daughter, Keira, got along well together with the young princess. As they grew up a bit together, Reshala and Katrina decided that when the time was right they would take the girls aside to explain to them their powers and its origins.
Both girls received Jedi training from Lotir who was a Jedi Knight. When Elektra turned four, the Empire sent in a regiment to take control of the planet's mining facilities. Megsari and Katrina sent Elektra with Reshala and Lotir when they left Bandomeer, asking to keep her safe from the Empire. The Trekinas promised, and took her as their own daughter, giving her the name Sionna.
Elektra spent the next 10 years with the family on Tatooine ((yay for the planetary haven from the Empire)) until what appeared to be a freak accident killed Lotir and Reshala. Keira disappeared, overcome with grief. Sionna, instead, made her way back to Bandomeer to try to find her real parents. She found her father in hiding (he had given up the governorship to avoid conflict) and received her mother's journals from him. (Her mother had died, she doesn't know why. Megsari refused to say.)
Sionna had decided on her own that she did not agree with the way of the Jedi Order and had left to become a Shadow Jedi- to no one else's knowledge but her own. After reading some in the journals, the young Jedi disappeared from public view, at the age of 16.
Two years later, a young bounty huntress/smuggler appeared in the underground workings of the galaxy. This young woman, who called herself Kitera Shiera, was rumored to have on a couple of occasions claimed to know the whereabouts of former princess; however, she also claimed to be sworn to secrecy and that she could not reveal the girl's location to anyone. Not much is known about her, except that sometimes she appeared to have strange abilities- some would say they were "Jedi-like", yet no one could say for sure. She usually keeps to herself, staying quiet yet always attentive to her surroundings. She has no known friends nor relatives, and no known place she calls "home". Yet someday, this young smuggler's dark secrets are going to be revealed, and she sees this day coming sooner than she wants it to.
Weapons and equipment: One well-hidden (gold/silver plated hilt) maroon-bladed lightsabre, one red-bladed lightdagger, two DL-44 blasters / the Force, Force-like magic, same lightsabres
Other: SPECIAL ABILITIES: Force-sensitive; uses bit of Force-like magic, origin of Vandkarr (w/ magic she can manipulate aspects of nature- fire, water, lightning, etc); has a latent ability of shapeshifting that she has never told anyone about; can speak Bandomeerian (a strange dialect of it at least), Huttese, Basic, Twi'lek, and Arconan (a species who inhabits Bandomeer) fluently, can recognize some various other languages; can sense the Force through her magic even if she steps within a ysalamiri void and can also combine both the Force and the magic when she feels like it
Personality/Mannerisms: While Kitera may be young and might appear her age or just slightly older, she does not act anywhere close to it. The mentality she possesses is far beyond her physical age; in fact, mentally she could very well be close to 27 or so. Personality-wise, she can be quite a smartass and her sense of sarcasm can be very biting. Most of the time she doesn't really care about much of anything, but the biggest thing to unnerve her is constantly hearing about Bandomeer...
Elektra/Sionna, on the other hand, is very centered and understanding. However, her sense of adventure leads her to bore easily. She has a sarcastic, quick wit, but knows when to hold her tongue. Her free spirit was what caused her leave of the Jedi Order, but her own naivety about life threw her towards the Dark Side. Because of joining the Shadows, she will use whichever side of the Force she requires for a situation. Elektricia is also well-aware of who she is and the whereabouts of her powers and such ((previous rp's she's known nothing)), meaning that she knows of her position at the Hidden Temple.
