V'yr Vorsa is a Neti Consular and Scholar from House Odan-Urr. After her long hibernation on Kashyyyk she has finally resumed her search for a reorganized Jedi order, finding a suitable spiritual successor in House Odan-Urr. Her true puropse in the troubles to come is yet to be revealed.
Character History
Early life
Sprouted from a seed sometime around 300 BBY on the forest planet of Myrkr, Vorsa spent most of her life on her homeworld in her natural tree form, enjoying the sun and natural tranquility of the planet. Not much is known about this part of her life for there is not much to tell. Occasionally she would revert to a humanoid state to travel her homeworld and enjoy the comforts nature gave her and her people. Unbeknownst to her, a greater destiny awaited her in the larger galaxy.
Introductions
Sometime around 200 BBY a group of Jedi arrived on Myrkr in search of the elusive Ysalamir lizards. What they wanted with the creatures was not known at the time, but when they managed to capture one it was from Vorsa's own bark. Annoyed at the intrusion she shapeshifted into a humanoid form startling the Jedi. Showing no hostile intentions other than an intimidating visage of a huge tree-like woman ready to stomp the intruders into the ground, Vorsa started asking questions and demanding why she was disturbed. Since the Jedi did not understand her language they were confused and unsure how to proceed, until Vorsa spoke in Galactic Basic, to the astonishment of the Jedi.
She talked to their leader, who was taken aback by the talking tree-woman, as he named her initially. Amused by his apparent ignorance of her species, Vorsa laughed and her mood improved as soon as she deemed them to not be hostile. The Jedi leader had never seen a Neti and was unsure how to proceed so he did what any Jedi would do - he conversed. He explained how Ysalamir have an innate ability to "drown" the Force around them and that they need them to train their Young Jedi on how to react when, however unlikely, their connection to the Force is cut for whatever reason. Vorsa, curious in her younger days, had many question about the Force and the Jedi Order and the galaxy in general for she knew little else except her own woods and her own planet. She of course knew of the galaxy at large and the Jedi Order but to her they were just stories from a far away place told by elder Neti in their twilight years.
They spoke for almost a whole day, but it was only when Vorsa had agreed to help the Jedi navigate her forest, and as soon as she was away from the influence of the ever-present Yasalamir, that they discovered her Force sensitivity. Promising her a life of knowledge and wonder in the Jedi Order if she would become one of them, they took her with them and traveled to Coruscant. Her life changed for the better after that.
The Jedi Order
Vorsa was never an excellent student, nor was she particularly gifted in any particular area of study. She was an average student just like most of her comrades. She did however excel at teaching her fellow Jedi about nature and how to properly care for living things in the forest. She was also a slow learner, an effect of her age. Though she was young in Neti years, she was all but venerable in Human and many other species' eyes, having already lived for over a hundred years. She would still be considered "underage" among her people, if there was such a thing on Myrkr. Her studying was slow as was her aging, but then again she had many, many more years of her life ahead of her and Neti were never ones to rush, particularly Neti Jedi.
Though her Initiate and Padawan days came and went with several different teachers, once she became a Jedi Knight she searched for way to be useful. Not particularly adept at combat, she chose the more natural course and became and archivist and librarian in the order, teaching students in many, many fields of study just as she had learned from her masters before. She always had her head "dug" into books, holocrons and archive data, vastly expanding her knowledge.
Some 180 years later, during the Clone Wars necessity required her to leave the safety of her libraries and archives and move her abundant knowledge and skill into the field to fight alongside the Clone troops of the Galactic Republic. This is when it all went wrong.
The Aftermath of the Clone Wars
File:Vyr-awoke.jpgVorsa on Kashyyyk
She fought on several mayor battlefields such as the battles of Jabiim, Duro, Coruscant and most notably, Kashyyyk. When Order 66 was issued she was on the Wookiee homeworld, alongside her friends and masters, fighting against the innumerable droid armies of the Separatists. She was flying with her squad on a transport just over a large lake at the moment her troops turned their guns at her. She managed to kill two of them but a laser blast shot her in the arm and she fell from the transport, twenty meters into the frigid water. The transport circled twice and when they found no sight of her, flew to base.
In truth, Vorsa had survived the shot and the fall thanks only to her advanced physique. She had instinctively "cocooned" herself in a tough bark-like shell that absorbed the fall. Blooded, wounded and aching she dragged herself from the lake and dug roots in a nearby glen of tall trees. There she hibernated for many years, until the events of Yavin and the Death Star's destruction, slowly recovering form near-death injuries.
A New era
From time to time, Vorsa would revert to humanoid form and spy on Imperial troops stationed on Kashyyyk. In this way she found out about the Rebellion and their exploits, she wept when she heard Alderaan was destroyed and cheered when Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star. Every so often she would hear rumors about the Jedi emerging - and vanishing, mostly due to Darth Vader's vigil.
In 4 ABY, after the Battle of Endor she finally managed to leave Kashyyyk and travel the galaxy, though she occasionally settled down for several months at a time to regain her energy. Ship life was not good for her because of her need for sunlight. This time of her life was a time of discovery and searching for purpose. Only years later would she discover her new home, in House Odan-Urr

Trivia
- Will rarely use a lightsaber. Relies predominantly on Force abilities
- Tends to shapeshift into tree form when threatened, to hide from her enemies.
- IC Vorsa has an Iranian accent similar to actress Shohreh Aghdashloo (Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay from Mass Effect)
- The character of V'yr Vorsa will never refer to herself as V'yr but will always use her surname, Vorsa, instead
- In the same manner, the player roleplaying Vorsa (me, that is) will use the name V'yr(or variation) on IRC to refer to himself so it can be easier to distinguish OOC and IC
- It's all a bit confusing but you'll get used to it :)
