☾ info & permissions.



☾ BASICS ☾


name. Merrin
canon. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
canon point. post-game (14 BBY, 5 years post-Revenge of the Sith)
age. no official age but ~18
tl;dr. The last of the Nightsisters, a matriarchal coven of scifi witches with lots of spooky powers. First introduced as an antagonist, but a little sprinkle of the Power of Friendship turned her into an ally. Her heart is in the right place, even if her bedside manner and sense of humor could use a little work.


☾ FIRST IMPRESSIONS ☾


hair. Silver
eyes. Brown
height. 5'4"
build. Slim
notable. Her skin is white—as in stark, deathly pale white—along with her hair. She also has tattoos on her face and all over her body, including her hands.
fashion. Think goth space witch chic. Only wears black and/or red. Big fan of gold statement jewelry.
demeanor. Comes off as guarded and intimidating (she's working on the former but not the latter), but she's kind and earnest if you peel back enough of her layers. She will say she's going to cut off your arm as a sacrifice for her magick with a completely straight face, and you won't know if she's joking or not.
voice. Has a pronounced Russian Dathomiri accent. Her voice is deep and usually fairly monotone/deadpan. Here's a sample!
olfactory. Jasmine, rosemary, and petrichor.
abilities. As a Nightsiser, she's able to use magick, which is drawn from the dark side of the Force. Some of her magicks include:

▶ Teleportation
▶ Telekinesis
▶ Cloaking things until they're invisible
▶ Creating magical ichor, which manifests as a green mist and can be used to attack or immobilize
▶ Enhancing someone's physical strength
▶ Raising the dead as zombies
▶ Manipulating the earth
▶ Projecting her voice to someone over long distances
▶ Sensing the energy of a planet or place
▶ Probably healing, voodoo, creating objects, using hammerspace, potions, barriers/shields, lightning, putting people to sleep, illusions, jumping higher/faster/farther, hypnosis, coercion, implanting false memories, etc...

medical. She's Dathomirian Zabrak, so she's not actually human despite looking a lot like it. Perfectly healthy.


☾ IC PERMISSIONS ☾


flirting. Please do, she'll either flirt back or be awkward af. Just be warned that her idea of flirting is basically just roasting
physical affection. Again, do it, if only because this will make her genuinely so awkward. She needs hugs!!
physical violence. Give it a try, but she won't take kindly to it and will fight back, probably with her magick
mental information. Nightsisters do have some shields against telepathy so feel free to ping me to work something out!! Either way you can try to get into her head, but you are incredibly not welcome
mimicry. Again, go for it, but she'll hate it and probably find some magickal means to stop it
magic. Yes, but she'll fight back with magick of her own
debate. Sure? She probably wouldn't last long in a debate before she gets tired of arguing and just exits the conversation, though
relationships. I live for friendships, found families, romantic relationships... basically yes to everything. Shipping might be a little slow burn because she's so guarded and awkward with Feelings, but please don't let that stop you, she's a softie inside.
triggers. Call her a witch (derogatory), I dare you
warnings. Her backstory involves war, genocide, and the deaths of many, many loved ones, so that may come up. Please feel free to opt out below if you'd like for me to avoid those topics!


☾ OOC ☾


player. britt (she/her)
contact. [plurk.com profile] matriarchy, britt#6172 on discord, or pm!
timezone. PST
tagging pace. I usually try to tag every 1-2 days. I love to boomerang with people if we're both online!
backtagging. Fine with me! I try to wrap up smalltalk-y threads quickly, but if it's a meaty thread I'll keep it going for a while
threadhopping. Okay for text spam, check with me for action
fourthwalling. No thanks
action vs. prose. My preference is action brackets, but I'll match whoever I'm threading with! I'm like incapable of not writing in present tense, though, I'm sorry
triggers. None!
spoilers. Star Wars is... huge, and I'm up to date with the movies, The Mandalorian, Clone Wars, Rebels, and some of the novels, but I don't mind if you spoil me for anything I'm not familiar with


☾ OPT-OUT ☾


If you would like for me to avoid spoilers for Fallen Order, not mention any aspects of her backstory, or if you want to just opt out of CR with Merrin for any reason whatsoever, let me know here! Comments are screened.
