- What makes you, you? Inara is best described as a wild child. She's bold, rash, and quick to act on either her emotions or the emotions of those around her. The two years without her mentor are slowly teaching her the values of patience, but that is a work in progress. As it is, she considers herself patient, if only in that she held a dancing gig at a cantina for a full week before catching her quarry.
By Jedi standards she'd probably be the equivalent of an impudent child... with significantly more weapons.
[glow=red,2,300]Family[/glow]
- None that she would find worthy of noting
[glow=red,2,300]Likes[/glow]

- Drinking until other humanoids would pass out. And then some.
- ’Dancing’ with other humanoids
- Being surrounded with beings conveying positive emotions or particularly intense emotions for that matter.
- Utilizing telepathy as a form of speech instead of vocally. There’s just something more intimate about it.
[glow=red,2,300]Dislikes[/glow]
- Sudden changes in plans without warning.
- When the Bartender decides to cut the drinks with water to save credits.
- Her own personal freedom being threatened.
- Being spurned in her affections.
[glow=red,2,300]Tech[/glow]
- Ship- The Sanguine Venture, often just referred to as Venture. It’s a firefly-class mid-bulk transport, modified with both weapons systems and so that it only needs one person to operate it (although more would certainly make things easier).
- Weapons- Inara has a preference for the more up close and personal version of fighting. Drugs and poisons fall within her specialty. Her mentor trained her under the belief that if you could defend yourself with just your hands, you could defend yourself with anything. With that in mind, most of her fighting style surrounds hand to hand combat… but when things get hairy, she is proficient with various blaster styles and even fighting with a vibrablade.
They’re just not as elegant as she would prefer. - other- For her flirtatious manner, she really has little intentions of ‘settling down’. Zeltros has a well-supported system of polygamy, to which Inara was raised. She’s been known to grow easily bored if stuck in any situation for too long, which could easily be defined as her largest weakness.
[glow=red,2,300]Bio (long)[/glow] Inara was born on Zeltros, like the majority of her species. This planet is a bit of a luxury world, with its’ denizens obsessed with positive emotions: Happiness, Love, Joy. Inara, as a Zeltron, was particularly sensitive to these emotions due to her empathic abilities. However, she also picked up at a young age on how to affect those around her, place emotions upon them that were not their own. As she grew, she became bolder and bolder with these little experiments of hers, until she was found out at age 16, placing feelings of intense grief on a pair of off-world ‘tourists’.
Inara’s behavior was unheard of, to say the least, on the love-dominate planet. To say that her actions were highly publicized would be a gross understatement. For Zeltrons, it went down in infamy. Most of the gullible race couldn’t fathom how this sort of thing was possible, or at least keep the concept in their minds long enough to debate it. Within a short time, the majority of the population was back to coming up with reasons to continue their planet-wide partying. The elected counsel on the planet, however, had a larger decision to come to. What to do with the young Inara Milakovich? Their only response, at least the only course they felt was appropriate, was a trial banishment from Zeltros for a ten year period.
Ten years without their culture, their laws, or any contact from another Zeltron.
At twenty-six, the wayward child would be allowed to return to the planet, and the case would be revisited. With this verdict, the dark haired Zeltron was escorted off-world and dumped at the nearest space-port to fend for herself. What they didn’t take into consideration was that this was precisely what Inara had been preparing for: being on her own and escaping the constant reveling of her planet.
Inara herself wasn’t aware of her preparations until after they had abandoned her, slowly realizing how easy it was to con other humanoids with her gifts. Again, she started small, dancing in a Cantina and pushing feelings of lust into the patrons in order to gain larger tips. Then despair while gambling to get others to drop out early… It was working out beautifully for the young con-woman until she picked the wrong mark.
Apparently he was familiar with Zeltron gifts, and had a few tricks of his own. Also it helps that he was pointed in her direction due to a bounty. Apparently someone she convinced to fold in a game had a clearer recollection of the event after the fact. In any case, the bounty hunter made her a rare offer.
Join him, or be turned over to the alien hunting her. The choice was clear to Inara, at any rate. For five years they worked side by side, he training her in what he knew, and Inara lending her gifts to his enterprise. Then, entering the sixth year of their engagement, they underestimated their opponent. Apparently he kept an eye out for contracts on his life… and took her mentor’s in return.
Leaving Inara to run the business all by herself for two years, leading to the present day… and two more years on her sentence…
