My brain is so addled by sleep deprivation that I'll have to get it finished Sunday, I'm going to have to make it through tomorrow without sleeping in order to fix my sleep schedule

@Specter189Good luck, my friend. I know what that is like.

@POOHEAD189 Looks good, accepted! Post it to the characters section please.

Alright, I've got Bodaan finished. Woo~



Name - Bodaan Kenu

Alias - The Speeding Hunter

Species - Rodian

Gender - Male

Age - 42

Appearance - Bodaan is of slightly lesser height than the average rodian, though the difference is about negligible. What immediately draws attention is his skin color, a dark blue which is an aberration among the rest of his green-skinned brethren. His eyes are also distinct from the rest of his species, being an amber-brown. He had no spines or frills upon his head, though his skin is quite bumpy, enough so that a blind man could read a book from Bodaan.Other than that, his snout is slightly more flat than that of an average rodian, but hardly anything out of the ordinary.

Height - 1.65 meters

Weight - 200 lbs

Apparel/Armor - Bodaan wears a modified racing track suit with plates of durasteel armor woven into the cushioning. It’s not the most optimal defense against blasters or melee attacks, but then Bodaan never intends to fight where he can be injured anyway.

Weapons -

• Custom X1LL3R Blaster Rifle - A special made blaster rifle awarded to Bodaan for a job he pulled for one of the companies in the independent Corporate Sector of the galaxy. High powered piercing shots, recoil stabilizers, an adjustable scope, and range more than twice that of the standard long range rifle make this beauty one of the best damn sniper weapons in the galaxy.
• Light blaster pistol - Your standard run of the mill light sidearm. If you're close enough that Bodaan has to use this weapon, chances are you've already won.

Equipment -

• Mechanic’s tool kit
• Personal datapad
• Custom speeder bike - Built for maximum speed and handling, used both in races and chasing down acquisitions.
• Custom swoop bike - Exclusively for racing. Some systems are old school and still race swoops rather than the modern day pods. Bodaan is prepared for any race.
• Custom pod racer - Used for racing.
• Binoc-u-com
• Credit chip

Personal starship - The Phantom Seeker is a heavily modified Nubian J-357 yacht, purchased from an old junkyard and put back together by Bodaan’s own two hands. Modified how? Well for starters the base model is a ship of peace, and as such has no guns. Not so with the Phantom Seeker. She's got two forward mounted laser cannons with ion setting, just in case he needs to short out a vessel rather than destroy it outright. Bodaan has taken advantage of the ship’s sleek, aerodynamic design by upping the atmospheric engines’ output, making it one of the quickest ship’s around in sub-light travel. That said, the hyperdrive isn't up to snuff, so if Bodaan can't make the catch before his target goes light speed, it'll take him a while to catch up. He plans to rectify this problem soon.

Skills -

• One shot, two kills - Bodaan lays claim to the title of best marksman in the galaxy, whether that's true or not. Regardless, his skills as a sniper are recognizable and unmistakably masterful.
• Need for speed - Every ace pilot has a specialty. Some are great dog fighters. Some are great surveyors. Bodaan is a natural born racer. When he's in the pilot seat, you best buckle up for a crazy ride, because he's taking off like a lizard running from a krayt dragon. Racing is in his blood, and it's won him multiple medals and trophies.
• Chewie, get me the hydrospanner! - Every customization, every addition, repair, and tinkering on his equipment? That's his handiwork. Bodaan believes that a hunter’s equipment is an extension of himself, so he makes sure to understand it as well as his own body. He's not the best mechanic is the galaxy, but he understands machines better than he understands people.
• Follow that trail! - Raised as a hunter, Bodaan is an expert tracker on land. He’ll pick up your trail and follow you to the ends of the planet, and with his penchant for speed chances are it won't take long.

Flaws -

• Nervous twitch - Bodaan’s close combat ability is as bad as his marksmanship is good. Even when it comes to short range blaster fire, he has a difficult time hitting his target. Get him in a melee fight? There's no point in even putting up a fight, because you've already won.
• Take her slow - Ok, so Bodaan’s an amazing pilot and superior racer, this we've already established. Well as it turns out, the need for speed isn't always a good thing. When it comes to flying like, oh say a normal same person, Bodaan has no patience. He only feels alive when on the hunt, or when performing death defying piloting, so he has this pathological need to act on this instinct. Obviously he's not the man you want when you need someone covert behind the wheel, and has led to unpaid traffic charges on more than two dozen systems.
• Search your feelings - Bodaan possesses many textbook traits of sociopathy. As such, he's completely incapable of relating to others and their emotions. In fact he has a difficult enough time relating to his own emotions. This makes his social skills bantha poodoo. He's not exactly prone to stuffing his foot in his mouth, but he's not convincing anyone of anything, or picking up on their cues. Where it becomes truly debilitating, however, is in his complete inability to understand why people dislike him killing their friends and family, or the collateral damage he might create.

Personality - Bodaan is a mid functioning sociopath with some acute symptoms of autism. He’s not one for expressing his emotions, if he’s even feeling anything, nor for recognizing the emotions of others. He doesn’t go out of his way to be a nerf-herder, and in fact most of the time he’s really very friendly and pleasant. That’s simply because he feels no need to get angry or deride anyone around him. People are basically objects, there’s no sense in caring one way or the other about something that isn’t “alive.”

This goes the other way too, though. Bodaan rarely “feels” anything, even for himself. That’s why he’s thrown himself entirely into his career as a galactic bounty hunter and racing champion. It’s only when his blood pumps with the adrenaline of the chase that he actually feels alive, that he has any value or worth. That’s why his dream is to be recognized as the greatest hunter in the galaxy. If he can do that, then he knows he’s “lived” as much as he can in this meager life.

Backstory - Born and raised in the forests and swamps of Rodia, Bodaan was a peculiar child, due to his strange skin coloration. He was never really picked on for it, but children his own age gave him a wide berth. They treated him like you might treat someone with cancer, or AIDS. He didn’t much care for that, so he rarely interacted with other rodians, or any spacers that came to his home. His parents were hunters, regularly going out into the wilds of Rodia to fell some beasty, then bring back its hide and meat for supplies and to sell. This being Rodia, hunting was a rather common career, so his parents had every intention of teaching him the ropes so he could join the family business. Young Bodaan was more than willing, and even excited, to learn to the point that he followed them one day when he was still too young.

This event led to the young rodian being attacked by one of the natural predators of his home world. The great behemoth of a beast got in real close and almost devoured little Bodaan whole. At that age, he couldn’t react in any way but to freeze, to completely lock up. Thankfully the creature was slain, from a distance, by his parents’ and their blaster rifles. The event was a trigger for several deeply rooted psychological traits he now possesses well into adulthood.

A few years later, when Bodaan was old enough to hold his own and learn in the wilds of Rodia, he went on his first hunt by himself. He tracked a karstag through some of the drier portions of the swamp, a hunting rifle slung over his shoulder and a binoc-u-com at the ready to see far distances. Tracking the creature gave him… He wasn’t sure how to describe it. A thrill? Sure, let’s go with that. In some way it felt as though he were making up for his past failure, knowing that this time he was the predator. Well he tracked the karstag to its nest and setup his perch, just waiting for the creature to emerge. The moment the creature poked out its great big head, Bodaan shot it in one of its eyes, killing the beast instantly. With that kill came some sort of sweet release, but the feeling quickly faded. Welp, time to harvest the karstag and haul it back home. Bodaan brought the speeder along and did exactly that.

Fast forward a couple years, and Bodaan had become a respected hunter of natural predators and menacing creatures on Rodia. Ond miday hunt when he went out looking for a ghest, also known as the swamp demon, his life turned a different direction. He brought with him two more respected hunters, and facing a Ghest alone was considered the equivalent of suicide, but even when a team went after the swamp demon it was more common for there to be casualties than none. In any case, Bodaan had tracked the terrifying creature (in and of itself an accomplishment, as ghests were known to do the tracking, not the other way around) and his team were setting up the ambush, when a most peculiar sight fell before them. A duro ran by. Well that just completely ruined the ambush, as the duro alerted the ghest to everyone’s presence, and thus it attacked in a surprise while the team was distracted. In an instant one of the hunters Bodaan had recruited was bitten clean in half by the predator, while at the same time three speeder bikes came zooming by. The ghest hurled half of the dead rodian’s body haphazardly, which collided with one of the riders, knocking him off the bike and into the water where he was immediately pulled under by the swamp demon. A second rider lost his nerve at the sight of the monstrous beast, then lost control of his speeder and fell off.

The running duro wasted no time in appropriating one of the speeders, then took off with the last remaining chaser on his tail. Seeing this, Bodaan hopped on the other available speeder and gave chase himself, leaving his one remaining hunter alone with a monster. Who could blame him? The ghest had already gotten in their faces, so the only choice would be to fall back. Plus this was far more interesting. That duro was being hunted by these men like a wild animal himself. Why? Bodaan had heard of such sport, but never witnessed it… Until now. Bodaan and the stranger gave chase on the duro, quickly catching up. It was the first time he was able to hunt something so… Fast. Everything before had been slow, methodical, but this was invigorating! Thanks to Bodaan’s knowledge of the area, he was able to cut off the duro, forcing the runner to come to a complete halt while the stranger pulled up behind. The stranger stood up and pulled off a helmet, revealing herself to be a female zabrak. She ordered the duro to put his hands behind his back so she could cuff him, and he did. Once this was done, she introduced herself to Bodaan as Meela, the bounty hunter. She thanked him for his assist and in turn gave him some credits for his troubles. In turn Bodaan offered to help escort the prisoner, which she accepted. Once the duro was safely locked up in the brig of her ship, Meela offered Bodaan a place on her ship as an apprentice bounty hunter. After all, two of her crew were dead, so she could use the extra hands. Bodaan instantly accepted.

Without even so much as a goodbye, Bodaan took off with the bounty hunter Meela, in her ship the Red Giant. He served as her apprentice for only one year before the Clone Wars broke out, but in that time he learned a great deal and honed his skills. They finally parted ways when they worked on a job on Corelia. The acquisition had a bounty placed on his head for borrowing speeder parts from some hutts without paying them back. He was something of a ghost, appearing for races on various systems, then vanishing without a trace. That meant that if the team was going to bag this hot shot, they had to do it during the race. For the plan to work, Bodaan was to participate in the race while Meela and the others were setup at strategic points to intercept the target’s racer. Bodaan was to do what he could to cause an “accident” and whichever member of the team was closest would snag the acquisition from the crash. Well the plan went off without a hitch. Once the target had been acquired, Meela ordered Bodaan to return to the ship… But he refused. The entry fee for the race was 1000 credits, and the target was worth 10000. That meant 9000 split five ways, with Meela taking the most. But winning the cup… That was 50000 credits. Bodaan put the pedal to the metal and he won that race, he won those credits, and he left Meela’s crew without so much as a goodbye where he went and purchased his own ship and equipment using the prize money, along with his savings.

Ever since Bodaan has piloted his own ship, the Phantom Seeker, across the galaxy. He seeks out high paying and high profile jobs wherever he can and participates in every race along the way. Once he is known as the greatest in the galaxy, he knows he’ll have lived as much as he can. Until then, criminals, debtors, and racers beware, for the Speeding Hunter is coming for you.

@ProPro It looks good, accepted, you can post it in the characters section.

The crew seems to be coming together, I'll wait a few more days for the WIPs to be finished then we'll get this show on the road. Loving the cast we got so far.

Six hours to go! I am loopy as fuck right now

@Heat Can you look over what I have so far and get any feedback.

@MonkeyBusiness It looks good so far, keep at it

The history will be rounded out hopefully tomorrow. I am posting this now to show that it is ready for review.

@MonkeyBusiness Ay! Another person who appreciates Slug Throwers!

I am now lucid and beginning work on finishing my CS

Slug throwers are pretty awesome, for sure. I'd use them myself, but it's not the direction I wanted to go. Now please excuse me, for I have some targets to snipe from orbit. ;D

You know, I've always wondered about whether a lightsaber can deflect solid projectiles. I guess a jedi can stop them with the force, Neo style, but what happens if they try to block them with their saber?

If it's smaller than the saber blade, it'd just kinda... Vaporize. Larger means it'd be cut and split apart, then the remains would continue moving forward with the same amount of momentum (just less mass) and strike the target. So the lesson here is that if you're shooting solid slugs at a jedi or sith, make sure your ammunition is larger than the width of their lightsaber. ;D

@MonkeyBusiness It looks good, I'd rather see a more written out backstory but that summary hits the key points. Raz Qui Sij'Tic is accepted! Post the sheet to the characters section please.

To everyone, my plan is to have the IC up tommorow or the next day. Anyone still working on sheets can still submit them when it goes up and for a short time after that.

After reading through Raarkoo's CS, I'm tempted to alter Bodaan into being a trandoshan. It wouldn't even require much alteration to his history, since both species are known for producing masses of hunters. :P I would have to change or justify how he's totally useless in a melee fight, though. Hahaha.

Hey, someone make a trandoshan! I must witness the great lulz that shall result from it.

Alright, I just finished my character. Sellgun has graduated from the Old Republic days into this New Era once again!

Propro, you could always make him a runt or midget Trandoshan, or something.
