M'aiq is cagey about answering questions about his background. He tends to give wildly exaggerated and inconsistent accounts of his past exploits, and the stories change every time he tells them. M'aiq also relays more recent events in vague or misleading ways.

This has garnered M'aiq a reputation, where he is known at all, as unreliable at best or a straight-up liar at worst.

M'aiq is obsessed with learning about anything related to the science of medicine and any spiritual practice related to healing. He believes there is not and should not be a division between science and the Force as fields of study. M'aiq travels the galaxy seeking knowledge in both domains that blurs the line between life and death. He has come to believe that death is a problem that has a solution waiting to be discovered somewhere in the outer edges of collective knowledge.

He is open-minded almost to a fault regarding new cultures, refusing to apply any external moral code to them. Light and dark, good and evil, these are meaningless superstitions to M'aiq that should be cast aside if they become stumbling blocks to progress.

M'aiq has a tendency to assess everyone he meets, whether they want it or not. This often involves invading personal space and poking and prodding if his curiosity is piqued or he sees a patient with a problem he can fix.

When M'aiq relays his assessments, medical or otherwise, he does so bluntly and without regard for his subject's feelings.

M'aiq spends a great deal of time in his own head, often thinking out loud no matter what is happening around him. This leads to him outwardly muttering to himself and spontaneously interjecting seemingly irrelevant statements into ongoing conversations. While this can be frustrating to his companions, he has been known to say exceptionally insightful things if one can sift through everything else.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. M'aiq? M'aiq doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. M'aiq, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, M'aiq isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, M'aiq won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but M'aiq will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.

While M'aiq will do what he needs to defend himself, he greatly prefers to take a support role during combat situations. He frequently ensures that he travels with others when he believes he is going into dangerous situations. The mystic focuses on using his Force Healing and Ichor potions to keep allies fit and in the fight. While this makes him a combat multiplier to his companions, it also causes him to occasionally fail to see the big picture or miss opportunities because he is too busy helping a comrade.
