Dr. Gwen Semper

Contact: clickachicka @ cs.com 

Template: Imperial Scientist and Bounty Hunter

Species: Human

Age: 30

Gender: Female 

Description: Gwen Semper could easily be called a perfect model of the human form, even with her sinister ice blue eyes and grim smile.The good doctor stands at about 5'3" weighing about 115 pounds. Her smooth dark skin has taken an unatural luster after a chemical accident ten years ago which gives her naturaly thin, seductive figure an even greater  attraction. This highly contrasts with the effect it had on her hair, which now is shock white, much to her discontent.Her left arm has also been severed off in a fight with a wily felinoid spacer weilding a set of dagger-like claws. Using technology she developed herself, she fashioned an eery new robotic durasteel appendage,adding to each finger a six inch razor sharp talon to match those of her previous attacker. She also bears a light colored lazer scar across the back of her neck, the reminder of a close call with a 'patient' along with an Imperial brand burned into the inside of her wrist that she keeps cleverly hidden by a watch. 

History: Gwen Semper was born aboard the Imperial ship "Bloodlust" to the wife of Grand Admiral Oratega Semper, who held her upon the bridge, showing her in her first moments, the great expance of Space. From the very start, she was an Imperial. her childhood was marked by the strict required obedience of Imperial schooling and the constant strife  to please her father,who happened to be mildly Force sensative. Finally finishing her schooling,she took work as an apprentice in the medical field, learning of the new viruses that could wipe out entire planets and the antidotes that they would pay trillions to aquire. 
Leaving to see the galaxy for herself at age 25, she ended up in the ghost town mining world of Simpla 12. There she found an old laboratory buried under years of debris, but still very well intact. The generators still worked, in fact. Blowing the dust from an old computer  terminal, she found the lab reports of a scientist long since dead, a woman by the name of Jenna Zan Arbor. It seemed Zan Arbor had a great interest in the working of how Force sensatives harbored the Force in their bodies, the workings of Medichlorians, and even how Jedi aquired their powers. Much to her surprise, she even found a small recording of a man being held suspended in a tank. An actual Jedi. What if there was a way to synthetically harness the Force? Oh,the possiblilities!
Gwen felt inspiration like never before. This could be possible. She read and reread the data entries. Yes, she could do this. At once, she left the dank little planet and brought her propostion to the Imperials. The thought of highly trained warriors in possession of the powers  of the Jedi was too good a thought to pass up. Gwen was ecstatic.
Within a week, Dr. Semper had a massive lab set up aboard her ship, the "Ice Demon", stocked with personel and most importantly, specimans. A diverse aray of species was aquired, from humans to felinoids, rodians to wookies, all at her disposal. Her immediate testing went askew, however, as a brash young Jedi escaped and freed most of her specimans. 
Besides taking all of her research with her onto that blasted green ship, the woman known only as "night ghost" also took off her left arm with a swift swipe of her claws.
Vowing silently to put an end to that blasted furball and to study and disect any Force sensative that crosses her path, she went to work again in secret, appearing at opportune times to snatch up a Force adept bounty head and then leave him dead or near so at the doorstep of  the nearest crime boss after a usually painful and tormenting set of  experiments. Over time, it has become more of a game,scanning for sensatives with her advanced technology, studying them,seducing them, capturing them, draining them of their precious mediechlorean infested blood and then setting them free to see how long they'll
 live.All quite amusing.   
Now, she acts as a Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent, cruising the star lanes is search of prey, the subjects of her next experiment.
Besides all this, however, Gwen is a hopeless romantic, but sadly she seems to draw to her all the wrong men.

Possessions: The mot valued possession Gwen Semper owns must be the silver bracelet that her father gave to her on her twentieth birthday, which had been his mother's, and her's before her. She also prizes her extensive lab aboard her Imperial Corvette, the "Ice Demon" which she  captains. Her favorite weapons would have to be her twin long barreled  blaster or the electronic pulse amplifier, a weapon that can cause a person's ear drums to explode from mere sound.

Abilities: Gwen can speak several languages fluently, including Hutteese, Rodian, and Mandalorian among others. She trained for 17 years at  the Imperial Academy, learning all forms of attack tactics and battle  strategies as well as how to properly set a table, serve tea, and handle  hostage sitations. As a hobby, Gwen enjoys old books and classical  music, often subjecting her 'patients' to it as she extracts their blood  from them as they suspend in mid air inside force monitoring tubes. She also owns large stables on Coruscant and Dantooine where she keeps a vast aray of hooved riding animals. As far as hidden talents go, Gwen can roll her tongue and has a knack for being able to seduce just about any  man she meets. She also worked as a gormet chef for sometime.

Personality: Gwen has the melodious voice of a bell with a sarcasm that could match any cocky spacer. She's rather languid for a psychotic scientist, often found lounging in her ship's parlor over a book when she's not at her experiments. When not at work, Gwen is rather congenial and  funny, flipping back her thick, shiny white hair and smiling. Dr.  Semper has always admired two things in people, honesty and calmness, which  makes Jedi some of her favorite subjects, for they possess both of  these traits. Unlike many others of her profession, Gwen doesn't bother to dwell on her education to make herself seem greater than other people, and comes off rather courtious and smooth at first glance. Even to her  patients, her face is of a cool, collected kind with curious eyes and a  distinct knowledgable smirk that never goes away.Even to those that may scan her through the Force, they'll sense little elsebesides these.

Objectives: Semper hopes to one day be able to synthetically harness the Force and one day take over the Galaxy under the pretence of the Empire. But among smaller things, she hopes to one day come across the guy of her dreams, kill 'night ghost', and somehow make enough money from bounties to open up a five star resort on Dantooine, crazy as it may sound.

Quote: "Life is just a highway full of flat womprats that could make up their minds"
                  or...
             "Ah yes, the question of the Century, how DID Vader blow his nose?"

Miscellaneous: Phobias: Gwen is highly clostraphobic and hates reptiles, any  kind, which makes it difficult to work with Ysalimari at times. 
Mental Complexes: Semper has tended to be rather paranoid after losing  her arm, taking more precautions than neccessary now than ever.
Weaknesses: Good looking men with a sense of humor. She also loves take out food, which she can rarely get now.
Quirks: Jedi and Sith, she just hates them both. The whole 'order' thing means absolutely nothing to her when such power could be used without such limitations. She also hates white noise, which can nearly drive her insane.
Flaws: She's a helpless romantic,as was stated before, always on the  look out for 'him'. She has a temper like a rabid wampa, though, often letting her wrath fall on unsuspecting crew members and 'patients' when she's in a bad mood. She also has an infectious laugh, which sounds somethings so understanding and other times nearly mad, which makes Semper one of the most odd women this side of Dagobah.
