Verity “Vez” Hirundo is a Mirialan who dabbles in bounty hunting, slicing, “freelance archaeology,” and private investigations.
Character History
Youth (13–36 ABY)
Although Vez actively discourages questions about her past, she will admit to being born to a conservative family on Mirial in 13 ABY. For reasons unknown, she left her homeworld at the age of 14 and quickly learned to fend for herself by stealing and, eventually, slicing. As she grew older, she settled into a life as a skip tracer and occasional bounty hunter, picking up a prodigious spice habit in the process.
For her entire life, Vez has suffered from ominous premonitions and vivid dreams that reoccur until she follows the course of action that they urge. Although she tried to block them out with spice and alcohol, the dreams always won. It was not until she come in contact with the Jedi of Odan-Urr that Vez began to suspect this was a sign of latent Force-sensitivity.
Odan-Urr (36 ABY - Present)
Vez first encountered Odan-Urr on a job during the Miridian conflict, when she assisted a strike team led by the Jedi Turel Sorenn and Xirini Kurai in a mission to sabotage the Collective and steal an artifact of unknown power from Daggo Mouk. Although she didn’t realize it at the time, Vez’s actions help two other members of the team, Declan Roark and Val Cole, draw together Clan Vizsla.[1]
It took another two years before Vez began working more steadily in the Kiast system. After one of her visions allowed her to save her colleague Jon Silvon during a job to rescue slaves from Felcuia, Vez finally started to look into the Jedi at Jon’s urging.[2] She ventured into the abandoned Velastari Temple on Kiast, where she was challenged by visions of Odan-Urr’s spiritual founders. When she emerged with a holocron, Vez finally stopped fighting her nature and sought out V'yr Vorsa as a teacher.
Description
Appearance and Attire
Vez is a woman of fairly average build, with a fern green skin tone. Her hair is generally thick, straight, and black, with some portions dyed an unnaturally vibrant shade of pink. The left side of her head is shaved close to the skin, while the rest of her hair falls to about jaw length. Her blue eyes are set between high cheekbones and a high forehead; her nose is small and her lips full.
Vez is rarely, if ever, seen without copious eyeliner and lipstick in a bold shade of black, red, or pink. The tattoos on her face are surprisingly modest and orthodox. Five diamonds and a pair of smaller triangles form a downward wedge shape under each eye, while a mixture of diamonds and triangles form a flying V across her brow. However, a myriad of ornate and obscure tattoos work their way up Vez’s arms from the backs of her hands.
Speech and Mannerisms
Vez cusses a lot.
Personality
Vez Hirundo would much rather be behind a hand of good sabacc cards or a rare vintage of aged liquor than with her blasters or ship. More often than not, she will spend nights at high-end establishments gambling, drinking and "socializing". Vez Hirundo can survive without the finer things, but she sure would rather not. This preference follows her onto the job, so it is not uncommon for Vez Hirundo to insult a client or potential partner by commenting on their choice of beverage or recreation.
Whether due to some past trauma or just an assumption that the rest of the galaxy is as fickle and heartless as she appears to be, Hirundo is deeply cynical about institutions, philosophies, and other people. She has few to no steadfast principles and is suspicious of anyone who does, which has left her with a dearth of lasting non-professional relationships. More conspicuously, this attitude has given her an obnoxious tendency to buck group consensus just for the sake of being independent.
