Special Abilities:
Electromagnetic Perception: Brennai are blind and deaf. All their information about their surroundings comes from their cheekbone antennae, which give them a keen perception of the electromagnetic fields and pulses of their surroundings. The long tentacles that descend from the bottom of their faces emit electromagnetic pulses, which is their only form of communication. This method of perception enables them to sense trouble spots in electronic systems, giving them bonuses to diagnostic rolls.
Force Sensitive: No
Force Points: 1
Dark Side Points: 5
Character Points: 10
Move: 8

Equipment:

Personal Equipment: Mishyath tends to carry several handheld diagnostic tools with her at all times. She is generally accompanied by a half dozen assistants and a pair of armed guards.

Other Equipment: Mishyath is angling for a position on the Council of Elders, specifically on the subcommittee on scientific planning, and as such she is seldom far from her lab, both for fear of what her rivals would do to her work if she left it unattended, and for fear of what they might do to her, were she to leave the safety of the council defended laboratory. For that reason, her personal fortune of 115,000 cu (Brennai currency units) has been growing steadily, as she has not had occasion to spend it on anything.

Capsule:

Race: Brennai
Sex: Female
Age: 270

Appearance:

Height: 9'9"
Weight: 410 lbs
Eyes: None
Skin: Very pale, blue white
Hair: None
Appearance notes: Mishyath has some scarring on her face and neck, a result of an experimental creature escaping it's bonds and trying to kill her.

Clothing:

As with most Brennai, Mishyath only wears functional clothing, and only when necessary, most usually the traditional sterile black lab coat of Brennai scientist, though occasionally she will be seen in radiation or exposure suits, when her experimentation requires it.

Retainers, henchmen, and associates:

Mishyath is Brennai to the core. She therefor tries to use and manipulate her co-workers, assistants and superiors into fighting each other and ignoring her. As that is the goal of most of the Brennai around her, she seldom can be said to succeed completely in her goals, though she has built up a quite respectable reputation and power base within her own field.

Common haunts and habitues:

Mishyath tends not to leave her Council protected laboratory for any reason.

History:

One of the many young Brennai who pushed their way up through the educational system, Mishyath was one of the few whose brilliance, tenacity, and manipulative skills allowed her to gain a foothold in post graduate research. Over the years these skills have become honed to the extreme, producing a brilliant scientist who has no concern whatsoever with the moral issues inherent in her work, and no concern except climbing further up the ladder of power.

The Council of Elders has taken considerable interest in Mishyath's current work, as they feel that it may have the potential of insuring the isolation of the Brennai, at least for another few millennia. As a bioengineer, Mishyath has been working on the creation of a number of symbiotic races, designed for life outside the nebula. Capable of rapid reproduction, possessed of higher than average intelligence, these races are being made into hostile killing machines. If unchecked, they will destroy all life on the planet they are introduced to, and then dying off when their resources are depleted. As soon as the council can confirm successful results on her part, and develop a method of releasing these creatures onto the worlds outside Brennai, they will probably attempt to scour the sector clean of life. What Mishyath hopes to achieve from this genocide at an almost unimaginable scale is a promotion to a higher pay scale, and a larger amount of power over her co-workers, an admirable pragmatism in the eyes of the Council.

Personality:

Mishyath is utterly driven and ruthless, not hesitating to destroy those in her way. However, she doesn't enjoy doing that much, seeing it as nothing more than a chore like any other, which, given her great intelligence, is usually taken care of quite quickly.

"No, I'm afraid that the pressure gauge appears stuck. You really shouldn't have turned down that grant proposal..."
