Ielasdiko

Ielasdiko

---

Introduction

Full Name: Ielasdiko

Age: 29

Species: Twi'Lek

Gender: Female

Force Sensitive: Yes.

Appearance

Description:
Ielasdiko or Iela to her friends stands 1.8 meters, her skin blue her eyes as well. She is considered quite beautiful, this is something she knows and often uses to her advantage. She has tattoos on parts of her body, they are located on her left lekku, chest and hips. Her figure is in shape from consistent exercise.

Like many other female Twi'leks she wears form fitting clothing which accentuates her feminity. Her most common choice from her wardrobe is a tough leather jacket over a croptop with tight leather pants and hard leather boots. Though her clothing choices vary with her jobs, that's what she prefers to wear.

Characteristics

Personality
A very confident woman, Iela isn't exactly the most friendly Twi'lek and not the easiest person to get along with. She'll often shoot off remarks or threats to those that displease her. Her profession as an assassin does not allow her to trust very many people, she can't afford to do it or else she may risk her own safety. She doesn't have many real friends, and doesn't really try to make any unless they give her some advantage. She is not socially inept, and can act quite charming when she needs to. She'll spin her words in a way to make someone believe she is being genuine.

She's not above torture or getting her hands dirty, whatever gets her paid and the job done is something she'll consider. Cold blooded murder is something she does as an occupation, she has no qualms with killing, though she dislikes doing it needlessly. Just randomly butchering people for no reason is something that bores her. She knows that she is a wanted criminal, and has no issue with making a full retreat if the situation goes bad. Saving her own skin is a top priority to her, just above making credits. She's worked with all kinds of criminal filth and is used to dealing with them.

Fears & Flaws
Iela has a fear of intimacy, actually giving people her honest emotions and thoughts as well as letting them get too close to her. Her few romantic relationships have ended in disaster, her partners dead because she let it become known that they were close to her. Physical and emotional abuse by her slave owner in her younger years also accentuate this fear. She also is scared of suffocation, having seen it happen to others, it's not the way she wants to go out, not being able to breath for extended periods will often cause her to panic.

Her personality is one of her largest flaws, mean to many she does not make friends easily. This has gotten her into bad situations before. She also tends to show sadism, drawing pleasure from those that hurt her in intense pain. Her status as an assassin is a source of infamy to those that know what she is. The fact that she kills people, almost anyone for money is enough to automatically cause mistrust and disgust.

She's not the strongest person physically, while capable of fights at close quarters combat she uses her agility and flexibility, not her strength. She'll lose just about every wrestling match. The two brain tails she possesses are extremely sensitive, pain inflicted to them will harm Iela greatly. Yanking them hard enough could knock her right out.

Talents
Markswoman: Iela is accurate with blasters and best with the semi automatic variety. Whether that be a long range rifle or a trusty sidearm she can hit targets with great accuracy. She's not superhuman, but she is damn good with a blaster.

Assassin: She knows how to kill someone in more ways than just shooting them. Extremely capable at brewing poisons, she knows where to stick them in someone to turn them into a lifeless corpse the quickest. Her skills as an assassin also extend to the field of torture, give her a knife and she'll be able to make someone tell her their life story, with every little detail.

Twi'lek charm: Her race is well know for their beauty and seductiveness, Iela is no different. She prefers her assassination targets to be men as they are much easy to twist and seduce. Those that are interested in her fall the quickest before her.

History

Backstory
Ielasdiko was born on the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth, an only child of two poor parents. She didn't have much growing up, it annoyed her and is part of the reason she follows the credit flow so greatly, she never wants to be that poor again. Her father was an alcoholic who often beat his wife, Iela's mother. Her mother taught her how to dance, Iela became quite good at it. She hated her father, he never struck Iela but said cruel things to her on an almost daily basis as she got older. She wondered why until she was put up for slave trade right after hitting maturity at fifteen.

It was not a new thing on Ryloth, the slave trade, Iela had seen her friends and neighbors get sold off for a variety of reasons. There was a normality to it, and some Twi'leks like her parents engaged in it willingly. It was a way for them to get their children off their homeworld, the galaxy could be a wonderful place for a talented Twi'lek. She eventually got over being sold as a slave, understanding that it helped both her and her parents.

Iela was sold to a wealthy human merchant, Alej Graell, he was more than three times her age and she never liked him. Though she was lucky in the sense that he had bought her over one of the Hutts or crime lords, their dealings with Twi'lek girls well known amongst her people. Alej was smitten with Iela as soon as he saw her, he bought her as a consort, a beautiful piece of eye candy he could strut around and show off to everyone. He peppered her with gifts, trying to make her love him too. She never did, he was a dishonest merchant, ripped off almost everyone he dealt with.

He got angry at this and hit her like her father did to her mother. Never hard enough to leave a mark, but enough to make the young girl cry out in pain. This stopped over time as Iela realized she would have to act like she returned his feelings. She slept with him, despite how disgusting it made her feel, it was better than the beatings or verbal insults he would hurl at her. He would dance for him too, make him feel like she cared.

For almost five years she was Alej's property, this changed after a trip to Coruscant in which she encountered an assassin who was on his trail. The mmerchant had burnt the wrong man, and now his life was up for grabs. While on Coruscant Alej made sure he was safe, he surrounded himself with an entourage of bodyguards. Iela's first encounter with the bounty hunter was in the marketplace when she noticed someone in plain clothes drawing a blaster as Alej did his dealings. She pushed it down with her hand, out of sight of Alej or his guards.

She gave the hunter advice, told him about Alej's security, how she was his forced consort, how she wanted him dead too. Before she was forced to follow along with her master the assassin made her an offer, if she killed the man he would cut her 25% of the payment. Iela had nothing to lose and agreed, the man slipping her a vial of poison before her master pulled her along.

That night before Alej came into bed with his consort she slipped the poison into his wine. It was slow acting, the assassin said it would take a few hours then cause symptoms similar to a heart attack. The merchant drank what would be his final glass of wine, then fell asleep next to Iela. When she awoke the next morning he was dead, she let out a genuine sounding scream of terror. A guard burst into the room to find Alej dead, Iela was released from his service after death, she was never considered for poisoning her husband, speaking of how much she loved the man and how he pampered her with gifts.

The next day a credit chip arrived in Iela's possession as it was promised. She would seek out the assassin, catching him before he left world. Iela would follow him to his next world, having no idea where to go next. She would spent several weeks with him as he taught her how some of his tricks, mainly how to fire a blaster and use poisons. At first she disliked the idea of becoming like the man, but there was money in it, something she craved.

She left his company and went her own way. Iela would enter the criminal underworld, taking up jobs to kill for payment. She got better at it with each kill, mistakes were made along the way. The largest being her capture at the hands of one of the men who she was paid to kill. He beat her badly, abused her, like Alej did. She managed to escape after putting a knife in his neck, though the encounter taught her a lesson to be more careful.

Iela made a name for herself, credits followed and she had made a nice life for herself. Enough money to buy herself a ship, weapons and the ability to pick and chose jobs as they came. She took a particularly high paying job, the killing of an Imperial office on Tatooine. It was an incredibly risky one, the Empire was not something to take lightly, but she was confident as always.

She seeked the man out, finding him in the wastes then took him out at long range. One blaster bolt to the skull. Unfortunately the man's Stormtroopers were in the area, as Iela bolted away on her speeder the Imperials were on her. They caught her, and she was imprisoned, the charges against her severe as her identity was revealed in her detainment. She was in a bleak situation.

Tell me if anything needs to be changed.

[Lord Wyron]

Alrighty quick update! All that's left is the Backstory, Affiliates, Other Details (my insertion), and the Theme Song! :)

[Lord Wyron]

Well, here's my CS! It's not Harrison, I'm afraid, but as much as I loved him I couldn't translate him well to a labor camp on Tatooine synopsis, so I took his assumed disguise and made it its own character! It's around 12:30am where I'm at, so if there are any mistakes, redundancies, or anything like that I'll most likely notice and edit them in the next day or two :) Please let me know if you need anything changed @LetMeDoStuff

Kabal

Kabal

Introduction

Full Name:
Kabal

Nickname(s):
Khan, Shalashaska

Age:
28

Species:
Ubese

Gender:
Male

---

Appearance

Description: Like all members of his species, Kabal's appearance is regarded as being a total mystery; with no official record in any database describing the Ubese's physical characteristics underneath their trademark masks and layered clothing.

Like all Ubese, Kabal's physique can be seen as lithe and graceful, to the point of assumed frailty. Though well-built in his own right, the practical nonexistence of body fat coupled with his rather short stature of 5'5" gives Kabal the impression of weakness and feebleness, though opponents find out usually too late that this is not the case.

Outfitted for protection, concealment, and maneuverability, Kabal's armor is very traditional to that of the baseline Ubese. An Ogygian Cloak of light brown forms the foundation of his outfit, emboldened by protective impact armor for his neck and chest, multiple bandoleers wrapped around his shoulder securing ammo and storage pouches, spikes embedded into rough protective gloves, a chest-mounded comlink, and a Ubese clan belt-clasp to identify his heritage. Beneath this loose-fitting outfit are lightly armored leather pants and traditional Ubese boots, designed to last an ample amount of time in harsh conditions.

Perhaps the most notable part of Kabal's gear, however, is his distinctive helmet. Designed to function both as a breath filter and armored equipment, Kabal's helmet allows him to comfortably breathe in Type I atmospheres while amplifying his voice to an audible degree. His helmet also comes equipped with a targeting laser, vision-plus scanner, audio pickup, broadband antenna, speech scrambler, and protective shielding to nullify the effects of stun grenades.

Characteristics

Personality: Stoic, unyielding, aggressive, and a man of few words; Kabal is regarded as being a complete enigma, with no apparent goal or desire motivating his violent actions. Quiet and secretive to a front, Kabal rarely speaks, and even then is brusque and to-the-point in his diction. He prefers to let his actions speak for him, with a simple head-nod or shoulder-shrug communicating more than words ever could for him. His guarded nature is only heightened by his race's xenophobic nature, which, coupled with his obscurity, make him seem all the more untrustworthy.

The Ubese have a dark and violent history, which is well-seen within Kabal. Raised as a survivor and warrior, he possesses strong warrior instincts, an inhuman level of determination and resilience, and a frightening capability for brutality that belies his quiet demeanor. He seems to come alive in the midst of combat, becoming passionate, vital, and fervent, feeding off adrenaline like a drug. He is viciously savage in combat, never offering mercy or forgiveness; not unopposed to utilizing torture and intimidation to reach his goals. To many, Kabal is little more than an animal wearing a tranquil mask, hiding his brutality until the next fight.

However, Kabal is not without his own set of positive traits as well. Firstly, he has a deep fascination for all manners of technology, ranging from the rudimentary to the theoretical. He constantly is on the search for new, interesting pieces of technology to hoard, and frequents such trinkets on his person. Kabal also has a soft spot for droids, finding them far easier to communicate with than other organics.

Secondly, Kabal possesses a certain sense of honor about him as well, stemming from his warrior heritage. Though generally brutal and merciless, Kabal is never guided by sadism or cruelty, but instead by determination. He believes in offering his opponents a fighting chance, despises stealth and manipulation, and never draws out an opponent's death unless it is necessary to accomplish his goals. Likewise, his one most serious rule is to never harm children. Kabal controls his aggressiveness within the presence of children, and will not commit atrocities while they are around. In fact, he will even demonstrate a somewhat friendlier side in dealing with them, becoming more verbally approachable than if he were dealing with other creatures.

Lastly, though all evidence may point to the contrary, Kabal is neither traitorous nor unfaithful. He honors all agreements and bargains, disdains of backstabbing, and has the capacity to be an incredibly loyal and devoted ally, should one earn his trust and respect (typically through combat.)

Fears & Flaws

Flaw - Xenophobia: Like many Ubese, Kabal is inherently distrustful of other races, stemming from a broad history of mistreatment and isolation. He typically views other races as inferior, often using stereotypes or preconceived biases to paint the galaxy's inhabitants. Though he is more than capable of dealing (relatively) civilly with other aliens, he nonetheless demonstrates thinly-veiled disgust in his body language and manner of speaking. As a result of his xenophobia, Kabal has an intensely difficult time adapting to different social situations or cultures, often sticking out like a sore thumb as he holds on tightly to his traditionalist beliefs.

Flaw - Aggressiveness & Brutality: Though stoic and calm in demeanor and conduct, Kabal is nevertheless a brutal warrior, capable of inhumane acts of violence. Not one for diplomacy, Kabal is incredibly quick to incite violence, often using intimidation or even torture as methods when dealing with those who are uncooperative. In combat, he utilizes his savagery as a psychological tactic, often dealing with foes gruesomely as a way to deter other opponents from attacking. Even outside of combat, Kabal is quick to take offense and fearless in the face of danger, willing and able to take on enemies larger than him directly.

Flaw - Paranoia: A long history of self-sufficiency and violence has made Kabal incredibly paranoid and mistrusting. He is hypersensitive, easily slighted, and prone towards scanning his environment in search of clues to confirm preconceived biases or conspiracies. He rarely opens up to others and believes that any one of his "allies" could try and backstab him, distancing himself as a defense mechanism. This can make him incredibly difficult to deal with both on a professional and personal level.

Flaw - Reliance on Helmet: Though not as personally inflicted as the "True" Ubese, Kabal's heritage on Ubertica has nonetheless conditioned his lungs and vocal cords to thrive on low-oxygen environments. As a result, any other type of atmosphere is taxing on his sensitive lungs and hushes his voice to a harsh whisper. As such, he must almost always keep his helmet on to filter the air and amplify his voice. Should he be without his helmet for an extended period of time, Kabal appears to suffer effects similar to the Human affliction of asthma, which can extend to far more severe symptoms should he continue without a breath filter.

Talents & Strengths

Physical Fitness: Though short and lithe in physique like many of his species, Kabal is a terror in battle. Blatantly ruthless and overwhelmingly fast, Kabal possesses great strength and reflexes that negate his stature, allowing him to overpower beings much larger than he is. Incredibly durable and resilient, Kabal is unmoved by pain or physical discomfort and has a very strong will that allows him to shake off or ignore exhaustion or wounds. He is also a skilled gymnast, and can perform surprising acrobatic feats should the need call for it.

Combative Skill: An experienced warrior and survivor, Kabal is a pragmatic and efficient hand-to-hand combat, capable of taking on multiple opponents single-handedly using his skill and speed. He is highly-trained in the use of melee weapons, showing a preference for the Force Pike or quarterstaff in battle, allowing him to control the battlefield. He is capable of quickly improvising weaponry, and his technological aptitude lets him modify or recondition most weapons to suit his need. Kabal is also adept in the use of blasters and slugthrowers, though seems to prefer lighter, more accurate blasters as opposed to larger, clunkier ones. Lastly, Kabal seems to have a personal fondness for flamethrowers and explosives, rather infamous for his use of thermal detonators either when fulfilling contacts or for intimidating others into submission.

Intelligence & Mechanical Aptitude: Aside from his great physical skill, Kabal also possesses a tactical, resourceful mind that aides him both in and out of combat. He is highly observant and a quick-learner, capable of grasping onto most concepts with relative ease and efficiency. He can think clearly in the most heated of scenarios and has a vast array of knowledge when it comes to most manners of combat and warfare, ranging from battle tactics to weapon specifications. Likewise, he is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with almost all manners of technology, especially droids. He is surprisingly intelligent in most mechanical matters and is often willing to help -- if help means pushing the other person aside to finish the job himself.

History

Backstory
Kabal speaks almost nothing of his past, finding such memories to be unnecessary retellings not worth his time or effort. He was born on the planet of Ubertica, one of the last hospitable worlds of the Ubese. He was born into the Forged Clan, which specialized in the finding and hoarding of technologies, revering advanced tech to the point of idolatry. As he grew older, Kabal was taught the various skills he would need to survive in the Forged by his father, then clan-leader of the Forged. Kabal would prove himself the longer he served, soon becoming a skilled warrior and mechanist within the clan. Given the clan-name of Shalashaska for his continued service, Kabal joined the higher-castes of the clan, considered as almost a second-in-command to his father. It was around this time where Kabal would marry a woman from within his clan named Lavez, who attracted Kabal with her own skill and intelligence. But this success was not to last.

A vengeful "True" Ubese known as Savax began an attempted invasion upon the planet in an attempt to genocide the inferior "yrak pootczk" from the galaxy. Much of the planet's surface was ravaged, and many of the Ubese were killed, including Kabal's wife and father. He himself just barely clung to life, severely wounded but kept from the brink of death by a recently-repaired medical droid near the encampment.

The Empire had interfered with Savax's invasion before he could complete his dream of destruction, and many of the surviving Ubese were taken off-planet. Kabal ended up landing in Coruscant, left a bitter shell of his former self. Full of rage and anger even at his own people, Kabal turned to mercenary work as a way to express this anger.

As time passed, Kabal's skill and reputation grew, eventually landing the attention of the Hutt Cartel, who used him as a personal bounty hunter on their payroll. Kabal soon became infamous both on Tatooine and even beyond for his ability and brutality, serving as a useful asset for the Hutts. But the Empire had other plans.

Wishing to quell the growing power of the Hutt Cartel in order to avoid another war the Empire devised a plan to "remove" Kabal, framing the death of an Imperial officer on him and ordering his arrest. Though Kabal proved an elusive and dangerous foe he was eventually captured, sent to a labor camp where he could no longer serve as a weapon for the Hutts...

Other Details

• Fluent in Ubeninal, Ubese, Huttese, Binary, and Basic, Kabal seems to prefer speaking his native language, while his Basic is very brusque and to-the-point, often lacking in metaphors or other devices.
• Though still capable of feeling lust and attraction, Kabal's past experiences have left him mostly unresponsive to sexual advances, bordering on asexuality.
• Kabal, like many Ubese, disdains of the Jedi Order and the Force, though did not act on such disdain during the Great Jedi Purge. It is believed this disdain stems from the Jedi's relative inaction during the many struggles of the Ubese.
• Kabal has never removed his helmet in the presence of non-Ubese, making his appearance almost a complete mystery.
• Despite his apathy, Kabal appears to be a fan of music and even certain literature.

Kabal's Theme

[Jeep Wrangler]

Over the course of the next few days, I'll be attempting to write it the starter post to set the scene. It'll give everyone preperation and a starting point for posts. I'll aim for everyone to at least have one or two posts before I begin the escape.

[SgtEasy]

Does anyone binge read on Legends stuff to pass the time sometimes?

[Lord Wyron]

I usually end up doing it to get a better feel of the characters I'm playing! It's definitely a fun way to build up a repertoire, especially if it's a heavily-involved roleplay such as this one :)

[Ookawa]

Does anyone binge read on Legends stuff to pass the time sometimes?

@SgtEasy

I recently binged the "Hand of Thrawn" duology and the sequel about the Outbound Flight :P
Now I am about to binge the Yuuzhan Vong series. Before that I binged the Legacy comics. So good.

[SgtEasy]

@PyroDash888

I read up on all the Legacy stuff, from the New Republic, the Yuuzhan Vong and then that new Sith Empire.

[Jeep Wrangler]

Alright...I'll get to updating everything sooooon, I really hope. Once that's done, I'll yet again attempt to get the first post up. Sorry for the disappointment
