Songdragon, if it's not a secret, I was just wondering how you see Mir's link to house Organa, rebellious activities, anti-empire sentiments, all of the above? That could help you establish links with the other characters.
I have been considering Mir's background over the last few days. Been meaning to sit down and firm it up a little more, but the joys of family life has intruded a wee bit. So, no it is not a secret, well at least part of her life.
Without writing it all out right now, the basics of what I had in mind...
- Mir grew up with her father a "guide" for travelers into the outer rim worlds, who in turn helped out in the clone wars as a scout of sorts. Her mother, whom Mir spent a good deal of her time with, was an archeologist traveling about to where the "finds" were. Both died at the end of the clone wars as their convoy ship was attacked and destroyed. Mir has not been able to get much detail as to what actually happened, save that a fugitive jedi was also aboard the ship that was attacked. Mir wants answers an no one is forthcoming!
- While on one of her Mother's digs, she ran into an Ror Roogak, an ithorian in the employ of Universal Geographic (and force adept). He did a piece on the planet and interviewed Mir's Mother, or wanted too. Mir was able to fill in. Ror, was impressed (and sensing Mir was a force sensitive) took her under his tutelage. She was able to get a job as his assistant and off the two went. When the war hit the two continued their part as UG correspondents, covering what the company wanted covering. When Order 66 went down, Ror and Mir went underground, or rather, proceeded into the Outer Rim where they would have less exposure. Mir left when she heard of her parents death and has tried to gain some insight as to why they died.
- Mir has an older bother on Coruscant who is the head of of some manufacturing firm, who profited well during the war. Has little interest in Mir or reasoning behind the parent's death. And a younger sister, who took after her mother as an archeologist. She too would like to know, but accepts the "offical" version of events. They speak as often as they are able considering their careers.
A bit of a ramble at the moment.
But I will work on it to flesh it out a bit more and work with anyone who might want to weave their character's into the background.
Hope that helps, some.
