Rhand. Unused, but intended for 'After Knightfall'. Work in Progress.
_______________________________________________ Mriqo'rhan'dijik _______________________________________________ 25 | Male | Chiss _______________________________________________ Csilla | Force Sensitive | Grey Alignment _______________________________________________ Standing at around 6 feet, with a wiry, agile frame, Rhand would probably blend in with the masses if it wasn't for his blue skin and red eyes. With short, grey-blue hair and a suave smirk on his face, he could be considered handsome, among his species. Typically clad in spacer's leathers and dusters, Rhand doesn't look like he spends much on his clothing. He also has an odd smell about him; vaguely reminiscent of smoke and oil. _______________________________________________ Physical Abilities:An excellent starpilot, a good shot with a blaster, and an adequate engineer. _______________________________________________ Limitations:Despite being a good shot, Rhand would stand little chance against a full-time warrior, such as a Mandalorian, or a Jedi Knight. His arrogance, and his vices, often come back to haunt him. _______________________________________________ Equipment & Personal Belongings:A trusty blaster pistol, a pazaak deck, the clothes on his back, and enough credits to get by... for a little while. _______________________________________________ Personality:Although he may not have an abundance of self-confidence, the life that Rhand has been thrust into sort of requires ego, so he's got pretty good at acting like an obnoxious dick to avoid looking weak - so much so that he has began to believe it, to a degree. Like many conmen, he is charming - or at least, he thinks he is. With a personality that some may find charismatic and disarming, and others, obnoxious and irritating, Rhand would most often describe himself as 'likeable', 'smart' and 'devilishly good-looking.' Beneath the surface, Rhand has a cowardice and uncertainty that he is often eager to hide. As much as he likes to believe he is untouchable, he is an extremely insecure man. A thief and a backstabber, he may act quick to trust but is unlikely to trust anyone without a strong bond and some time between them. Despite his shortcomings, Rhand is good at heart. When he truly cares for someone, he is loyal and kind, and sheds his cocky visage. The only issue is the rarity of that circumstance. _______________________________________________ | History: The son of a deserter, Rhand grew up an orphan as one of the only Chiss in known space, accompanied only by his brother, Odran. Mriqo'vhen'karik, known commonly as Ovhenk, was a military man by trade. A gifted pilot, and a servant of the Chiss Ascendancy, Ovhenk reared two children; Odran, and Rhand. After a dispute unknown to Rhand, Ovhenk fled Csilla, stealing a ship and venturing into Corellian space. Thus, Rhand never knew his home planet, with his family settling on the Outer Rim planet of Scarif. Being a Chiss, an unknown race to most, Rhand and his family were generally mistrusted, and his father struggled to find work; though he eventually was employed as a starpilot for the planet's militia. Having never known his mother, and his father busy serving in the Clone Wars, Rhand relied primarily on Odran for care, with his elder brother somehow finding credits and food for the both of them. In the end, their father did not return from the Clone Wars, and the two boys were left to fend for themselves, with Odran aged 13, and Rhand 5. Odran quickly learned that crime was the only way to keep the two of them fed, stealing and swindling for credits. Rhand quickly followed in his footsteps, and the two would often pull cons together. Before long, they were unwelcome on Scarif. Over the years, Rhand and Odran would skip from planet to planet, often as stowaways, usually fleeing from individuals they had stolen from or cheated. In the process of planet-hopping, the brothers crossed paths with a Bith engineer named F'taza in a spaceport on Onderon. They impressed F'taza with their cunning, and he took pity on them, offering them work in exchange for food and shelter. With that, the duo settled on Onderon, living in the back of a workshop, with Odran becoming F'taza's apprentice. Rhand, still only a boy of 10, learned the basics of engineering - but took much more of a shine to piloting, as he would often test-drive pods and speeders for F'taza. At age 14, Rhand was visited by a Corellian agent, a friend of F'taza's, and was offered a place in the piloting academy on Corellia. Wishing to follow in his father's footsteps, he agreed, leaving behind Odran for the first time in years. Though an exceptionally talented pilot, Rhand struggled with discipline, often sneaking out to drink with other students, and arguing with his instructors. After graduating from the academy, Rhand was given a permenant starpilot role, and was given enough time to return to Onderon to visit his brother, who was now flourishing as an engineer under F'taza. One year, when Rhand made his visit to Onderon, now aged 20, he could not find his brother, nor F'taza. After doing some digging, he learned of F'taza's death, with his brother now embroiled in cartel business. Despite orders to return to duty, Rhand made his way into Hutt space, where he sought out his brother. Eventually, Rhand found Odran on the moon of Nar Shaddaa. Odran revealed his heavy debts to a Hutt named Ubban. Rationalizing that his brother had cared for him for so many years alone, Rhand demanded that half of Odran's debts be transferred to him, and so he too became involved in Hutt business. For a while, Rhand tried to pay off the debt via his work under the Corellians, but Ubban was impatient. Rhand began to run smuggling jobs on the side, working with mercenaries and bounty hunters behind closed doors. Slowly, the debt was being paid. Aged 22, he was discovered by Corellian agents who declared him under arrest. Panicking, Rhand shot them both and fled Corellia, returning to Nar Shaddaa. Having destroyed his career as a pilot, Rhand found himself without a job. Despite almost having paid Ubban off completely, Rhand resorted to taking a loan of his own, spending it on a busted-up old freighter that he bought from a Toydarian. With Odran, he patched the freighter up, and the two began to make smuggling runs. The next year or so of Rhand's life was one of debt, dogfights, smuggling and shooting - and yet, it was perhaps the happiest he had ever been. Although Odran had turned out to be somewhat of a sleazebag, he still cared deeply for Rhand, and the two would tour cantinas across the Outer Rim, playing pazaak, drinking and living like spacers, doing jobs for Ubban all-the-while. Whatever discipline was left in Rhand from flight academy was expunged, and he joined his brother in the sleazebaggery. By 24, Rhand was within reaching distance of being debt-free. Eager to get Ubban off of his back, and hungry to make a profit of his own, he took on an important smuggling job for the Hutt, taking a large ammount of counterfeits to Karvoss II, a planet well within Corellian space. After landing in the space port, and setting the deal in motion, Rhand was clocked by a Corellian soldier who recognised him, due to his kind's rarity. A gunfight transpired, and Rhand was forced to flee, leaving behind his brother and the ship, and paying a trader off for passage out of Corellian space. Wracked with guilt for leaving Odran, and wanted by both the Corellians and Ubban the Hutt, Rhand crumbled, landing himself in some backwater Cantina on some backwater planet. For several weeks he drowned his sorrows, before a lucky hand of pazaak put some credits back in his pocket. Lost, and unsure of where to head next, Rhand set out on his next journey. |
