Wim

Wim

Wim was amalehumanyoungling who lived on the isolatedplanet ofAt Attin in theNew Republic Era together with hisfather,Wendle. He attendedAt Attin Middle School Gamma alongside his best friend,Neel. Bored with the monotonous life on the planet, Wim was passionate about tales of old, particularly about theJedi.

Around9 ABY, Wim found an oldstarship buried in thewoods outsidehis home city. Unbeknownst to him, the ship was actually theOnyx Cinder, apiratevessel that once belonged toCaptainTak Rennod. While exploring the interior of theOnyx Cinder, Wim and Neel, along withFern andKB, accidentally started thevessel and traveled past thebarrier, becoming stranded inspace and separated from their families. With the help ofSM-33, adroid that once belonged to Rennod, the children arrived onBorgo Prime, where they were taken prisoner byBrutus'spirate crew. Locked in the same brig, they ultimately escaped by joining forces with former CaptainJod Na Nawood, who was intrigued about the story of the legendary planet of At Attin and resolved to verify the children's claims.

To this end, Jod and the younglings traveled to theObservatory Moon to seek guidance fromastronomerKh'ymm, who helped establish the possibile coordinates of At Attin. The coordinates, however, finally led theSkeleton Crew toAt Achrann, another of the hidden planets collectively known as theJewels of the Old Republic. Following a brief involvement in the conflict between theHattans and theTroik, the Skeleton Crew ultimately left At Acharann. On their way toLanupa, where they hoped to access Rennod's data log, Wim grew skeptical about the journey and realized thatthe galaxy was nothing like what he had imagined based on his adventure stories.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Wim, amalehumanyoungling,^[1] wasborn around1 BBY^[2] toWendle and a certainwoman, with whom^[1] he^[3] lived on the isolatedplanetAt Attin. In his childhood, he would curiously listen to bedtime stories hismother used to read to him^[1] before the two were separated.^[6] Around9 ABY,^[7] Wim attendedAt Attin Middle School Gamma and was best friends with his schoolmateNeel. At thattime, he lived with his father only.^[1]

An imaginative boy with a penchant for daydreaming,^[3] Wim grew fascinated about adventures, wishing that he could oneday leave his home planet. The boy would often play pretend with his friend Neel and role-play as aJedi, as well as play in the privacy ofhis home with a collection of action figures.^[1]

Career Assessment Test[]

One day around 9 ABY,^[7] Wim was playing in his room, acting out a Jedi—Sith duel with his action figures,^[8] when his father suddenly called him to the kitchen, reminding him that it was a school day. As Wim hadcereal withgray milk for his breakfast, his father was looking around for hispasscard, accusing Wim of having misplaced it. Shortly, however, he realized it was in his own pocket all along. Before departing, Wendle gave Wim a stack ofcredits for lunch, informing the boy that he would not be available for a week due to aSupervisor's review. Wim left shortly afterwards, and on his way to thetram stop, he accidentally startledIkk'sfrog-dog. Finally, he met his friend Neel, and the boys took the opportunity to act out a pretend duel, with Wim using a toy lightsaber hilt. As the play drew to a close, the boys were noticed by a group of other schoolchildren waiting for the tram across the street. Neel and Wim quickly joined them, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and the tram departed. During the trip, Wim was engrossed in his storypad tales when he suddenly noticedFern andKB pass the tram on theirhoverbikes. He was surprised to see the girls veer off the main road and ride over a dead-end barrier into a nearbyforest. However, Neel—whom Wim had been quietly ignoring all the way—denied having noticed the girls. After the tram reached its destination and dropped the children off by the school, Wim saw Fern and KB one more time, watching as they were lectured by a security droid.^[1]

During class, Wim appeared inattentive, choosing to use the built-in control dials on his desk to generate an image of a Jedi Knight on the tabletop screen instead of focusing on the lesson. His behavior did not go unnoticed byUndersecretaryFara, a representative from theOffice of the Supervisor. Upon hearing Fara clear her throat, Wim hastily switched off the screen and redirected his attention to the visitor, who had joined the class to discuss the upcomingCareer Assessment Test. Wim felt a wave of confusion when he realized the test was scheduled for the following day. Later in the session, the teacher droid prompted the students to tell the undersecretary how they envisioned contributing to theGreat Work. Several classmates shared their aspirations before Fara turned her attention to Wim, noticing his attempt to shrink into his seat to avoid being called on. Hesitantly, Wim mentioned his father's role as a Systems Coordinator but expressed that he himself would rather help people directly, a confession promptly dismissed by the teacher droid, who explained that aiding was a responsibility assigned to safety droids. As Wim finished speaking, he heard a loud chuckle from the student sitting behind him, further adding to his discomfort.^[1]

Personality and traits[]

Wim was a younghumanboy with dark skin, brown eyes, and thick, voluminous, curly brown hair. AnAt Attin Middle School Gamma student, he sported a school uniform comprising a beige jacket with the school's emblem with a blue T-shirt underneath, an outfit he happened to wear when accidentally leaving his homeplanet ofAt Attin.^[1]

Wim was a boy with a vivid imagination and a penchant for daydreaming. A lover of tales of old,^[3] he particularly admired theJedi, often reading about them on hisdatapad, playing with Jedi action figures modeled after them, and role-playing asJedi Knights with his friendNeel. He also had a longing for adventure and excitement, feeling bored with his homeplanet's monotonous lifestyle.^[1]

Raised on tales of old, Wim's personality was heavily shaped by the stories he read. He enviedFern's position as acaptain, a role he aspired to claim for himself.^[10] Impulsive by nature, Wim often acted without thinking, such as starting theOnyx Cinder out of pure curiosity^[1] or drawing alightsaber to confrontJod Na Nawood after his betrayal, only to accidentally ignite it upside down shortly thereafter. Furthermore, Wim's childish behavior did not always comply with the gravity of the situation. Instead of staying alert, he and his fellow Skeleton Crew younglings preferred to frolic, running the risk of exposure.^[6]

As a member of theSkeleton Crew, Wim's longing for excitement and adventure began to fade when confronted with the harsh realities of a wandering life.^[6] Alongside his fellow crew members, Wim had to face various adversities, such as fleeing from a hostilepirate crew^[10] or becoming entangled in a war.^[9] Once eager to set off on an interplanetary journey, the boy became somewhat homesick, missinghis father andmother alike, knowing full well it was no longer possible for him to see the latter. When feeling depressed, he would go aside to cry in solitude. In such moments, he could count on Jod, aForce-sensitive whom Wim, having been raised on adventure stories about Jedi, looked up to as an embodiment^[11][9] of the virtues he knew from those tales of old.^[1]
