I’m glad this is moving forward. I’m very excited to try this out.
Miko is a consular but more of an untrained sorcerer than a Jedi. She mostly tries to use the force to influence people but can also move things around, including her lightsabers.
My preference for the start would be that we trust Taim and he put us together. So he knows who can use the force and introduces us with that info.
I’m traveling this week so my posts might be a little short, but I’ll put more detail into them after the 31st. Until I get home and can work on a sheet, here is Miko.

Charmer
Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. If you are already proficient in it, you instead gain expertise in it.
If you spend 1 minute talking to someone who can understand what you say, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by the creature’s Wisdom (Insight) check. If you or your companions are fighting the creature, your check automatically fails.

Appearance: 5'6" 120lbs. Black Hair, Red eyes, Blue Skin. Miko is charming and beautiful. She dresses in fine silk clothes worn over a set of fitted weave armor. She carries no blasters, only a few engraved, collectors' lightblades and some hidden daggers. She fits in well in formal situations and most people seem to think she is wealthy and important. But it's an act. She has no money and is on the run. Moff Taim is her only hope
Spoiler: Background
Show
1. The "Elevator Pitch."
Daiemi’ko’karys (Miko) grew up an urchin and a criminal far from the Chiss' planet. As a teenager, she found she was good at reading people, influencing them, and even controlling them. She’s heard rumors of the force but didn’t know that’s what she uses. She never had any formal training or guidance. She’d never met anyone else that can use the force. She just knew that things work out for her and she can manipulate things with her mind. People do what she wants. Games work out in her favor. She’s used her abilities and luck to leave behind her criminal past and became a professional gambler, travelling the galaxy to play against other professionals. A subtle “you should probably fold” when the odds are in her favor or a quick tip of a die to get the result she needed Enough that she was able to parlay her winnings into a low level political position, working under Moff Taim. She made quite a good living. Until recently.
She was accused of cheating in a game of dice, which she had done but not in the way she was accused. She was about to be arrested when she had to use her powers in a less subtle way. It was only at this moment that she realized she had been using the force. Once it became clear to others the power she possessed, she had to flee. The professional gambling guild put a bounty on her head. The criminal gang that bet on her and lost is out to recoup their losses.
(Sort of a female Lando Calrissian who can use the force)
2. What brings you into Ephraim Taim's service?
Miko had met Ephraim Taim before he was Moff Taim and assigned to his position as governor of Osmur. They had helped each other get ahead when he was just an Imperial Commander. She had helped him with business negotiations and made him a significant amount of money, while he had kept her out of trouble and looked the other way at her gambling and swindling. They also became decent friends. When she upset the gambling guild, she ran to Taim to help her hide.
3. Tell me something about Taim.
Unlike most Moffs, Taim was not born into privilege. He worked his way up through the Empire, through guile and luck. It is said that he has always been ambitious and willing to work around the rules. There is a rumor (true but unverified) that he assassinated the previous Moff, a tyrant of a man who ruled with a iron fist. But then the new Moff Taim brought justice and mercy to his sector, so no one looked further into the assassination.
4 [Optional]. What's something you want to do in this game? What's a scene, arc, conflict, dramatic moment, dramatic element, or something else that you'd like to get to do?
I want to have an epic lightsaber fight.
5. What are your preferred pronouns? He/him but not overly concerned.
