Power Rangers: Scarab Squad

As a fan of both Blue Beetle and Power Rangers, I'm interested in this.

Savage Beast Wars

@BenG85
So I've decided that I want to play both a Maximal and Predacon. An idea for a Maximal is some kind of small animal, like a rabbit, who is security chief and a badass with a sniper rifle. No Predacon idea right now. Anyways I'm sending you a PM with my ideas.

Worlds Collide: Earth Taking All Comers (A Hasbroverse RP)

@mattmanganon
So I decided on some characters. For my human character I went with re-imagining an obscure canon character. In fact I reread the comic he’s from in preparation of writing his character sheet. As for the giant partner, I’m using the neutral Transformer who wants to atone for not fighting in the war. Let me know if anything needs changing.

JJ Oliver & Sparkblitz

Name: JJ Oliver
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Origin: Power Rangers
Appearance: Standing at 5’10’’ JJ is of average height for his point in the future. With a trimmed, athletic build, JJ is in great shape. JJ has a conventionally handsome face with tanned skin, blue eyes, and dirty blond hair which he keeps short. Clothing wise JJ is usually in uniform, but in his off times wears a lot of green. In Ranger form, JJ is coated in green, black and silver. The left side of his suit has the number three on it, but this is mostly obscured by the large golden Dragon Shield that adorns his chest. On one hip is a holster with a Deltamax Striker gun in it, while the other side holds the Dragon Dagger, his father’s legendary weapon.
Brief History: Born the son of Tommy Oliver, the greatest Power Ranger of our time, JJ had mighty big shoes to fill. From a young age, JJ was aware that his father and mother were Power Rangers, guardians of the Earth. As a child he wanted to be just like them, dreaming of becoming a Ranger. However, no new Ranger teams would take on the young man, so instead JJ put his focus on Space Patrol Delta, or SPD. A newer organization, SPD protected all planets in the galactic alliance, and did have its own Ranger team.

Upon graduating from high school, JJ decided to enlist in SPD rather than go to college. JJ was quickly accepted as a cadet, excelling during his training. In a few years he became a field agent, but not a Power Ranger. That all changed when the head of Earth’s SPD branch decided to put him undercover. Seemingly going rogue, JJ would become close to a villain known as the Witch. However his cover would be blown by his meddling father who tried to rescue JJ. In the end, the Witch would be defeated and revealed as Scorpina.

Following this mission, JJ would be placed on the SPD Earth branch B-Squad of Power Rangers. Made the Green Ranger, latent energy from his father’s damaged Master Morpher would create a new form, the SPD Green Dragon Ranger. JJ would serve as the Dragon Ranger for about a year before being given the mission of capturing an alien who was developing time travel technology. In the ensuing scuffle, a portal would activate, sending JJ to the Angel Grove of the past. This trip left JJ with partial amnesia.

The energy signature of the time travel would be detected by G.H.O.S.T. who dispatched a team to retrieve JJ. Taken into G.H.O.S.T. custody, JJ would remain aboard the U.S.S. Flagg while they studied him. Eventually they determined that JJ was not a threat. With not much else to do in the past until a way home became available, JJ decided to take a spot as an agent of G.H.O.S.T.
Employment History: Prior before coming to the past, JJ served as an agent of Space Patrol Delta for several years.
Special Abilities/Training: From a young age, JJ was trained in martial arts by his parents. This continued when he pursued a career in law enforcement. Under that training, JJ learned marksmanship and vehicle piloting.
Standard Equipment: Delta Morpher, Dragon Shield, Deltamax Striker, Dragon Dagger

Name: Sparkblitz
Race/Model: Cybertronian
Origin: Transformers
Appearance: Sparkblitz stands at just under 15 feet, with a long and slender build. Color wise, Sparkblitz is black, red, tan, and white. He has a wheel on each shoulder as well as in his legs. He stores his energy staff on his back. Sparkblitz can transformer into a long and slender four wheel vehicle. This vehicle is a mix of a motorcycle and an ATV.
Brief History Eons ago, before the Great Cybertronian War broke out, Sparkblitz was an aspiring racer, trying to make his name in the Iacon Racing Circuit. The young Cybertronian would ignore the rumors of conflict that spread across Cybertron. As fate would have it, it was just as Sparkblitz was getting popular among racing fans that the war truly began. It would not be long until the Decepticon forces invaded Iacon. Like many celebrities, Sparkblitz would abandon Cybertron for the outer colonies. Ending up on Velocitron, Sparkblitz would become a regular of their racing scene for many years.

However the war wouldn’t stay contained to Cybertron, as the fighting spread across the galaxy. Those who had fled Cybertron and not participated in the war were forced to flee once more, this time farther. Sparkblitz would end up beyond the known regions of Cybertronian space, interacting with various unknown alien races. Sometimes he would be part of their racing scene, other times a pariah or beggar. Life was rough for Sparkblitz over the massive amount of time the war lasted. At certain points he thought of returning to his home space, picking a side in the war. But fear always led him to remain in the outer reaches.

After many, many years, the news would reach Sparkblitz’s region of space that the war was over, an armistice signed by both sides. Curious of what happened to his people, Sparkblitz would travel the massive distance to Earth, the planet where most Cybertronians had ended up. Wishing to help his people, Sparkblitz would follow in the steps of Optimus and Megatron and join G.H.O.S.T. However, the once neutral Cybertronian would face prejudice for his lack of commitment during the war and his apparent cowardice.
Standard Equipment: Sparkblitz has a staff that emits electricity at both ends. This electricity can also be fired as a stun shot.

Harry Kimura sat in the lounge chair for several hours, his attention focused on one of his mother’s magnum opuses. The plot and characters of Even Angels Cry was keeping the young man hooked. He felt bad that he had never given it a read before as it was truly something special. Just like his mother was. Emotion flared up in Harry’s heart but he quickly stuffed it down. Now was not the time to get all riled up. Instead his gaze stay affixed to the pages in front of him.

Harry barely noticed as his brother went from the kitchen to his bedroom. Right now all that mattered was finishing reading the book. It took about another hour for Harry to reach the conclusion, but when he did it was very satisfying. Again he couldn’t believe that he had never read it before. He was ashamed to know that he used to actively avoid anything to do with his parents.

Closing the hardcover, Harry took it back upstairs to the room that used to be his parents’ study. It was in this half-library, half-office that Eric Kimura and Jacqueline Nord had wrote many of their novels and short stories. It was a room that Harry had tried to stay out of as a child, as it seemed foreboding to the youth. But now just nostalgia flowed through Harry as he placed Even Angels Cry back on the bookshelf. A great feeling of loss washed over Harry as he remembered his parents.

Once more, Harry pushed away his feelings. He never liked talking about them, and sometimes wished they would just go away. Wanting his brain to focus on something else, Harry decided to grab some old paper maps his father had in his desk drawer. Harry’s father Eric had always had a thing for outdated formats, collecting things like 8 track or in this case, actual maps.

While they were OK for right now, Harry knew that the supplies here on Mulberry Street would run thin soon. So it would be a necessity to go out and scavenge, probably heading to the various communities that surrounded Huddeen, hence the maps. Harry could admit that he wasn’t well versed on the nearby towns, so he had been using the maps to try and plot out supply runs. Of course the people who seemed in charge here on Mulberry had yet to approve such a task.

Since the barricade was put up, Harry had been butting heads with the older folk, the true residents of Huddeen as they liked to style themselves. Perhaps this gathering of the younger residents that was coming up could swing the balance of who was in charge. With that thought, Harry set a timer on his phone for quarter to two.

Harry would then spend a lot more time going over the maps, making notes in a journal, as he hated typing long messages on his phone. Before he knew it, Harry’s phone chimed. He then quickly put away his maps before heading downstairs. He wondered if Kit had already left, but that was quickly answered when Kit emerged from his bedroom.

“I was wondering if I had to get you,” said Harry as he put on his shoes, “We’re cutting it kind of close.”

“Yeah, well I needed some me time,” responded Kit as he grabbed a bag from the kitchen, “But yeah, we should get going.”

Harry then left the Kimura house, Kit right behind him. The brothers then headed down Mulberry Street, taking the few minute walk it took to the gazebo in question. Harry noticed that they weren’t the first to arrive, so he tried to slink into the background. Truthfully, Harry had always felt out of place with the youths of his neighborhood, never really fitting in. It didn’t help that he had a reputation for thinking himself better than the town of Huddeen.

Kit Kimura quickly devoured his bowl of instant oatmeal, not caring that it was the cheaper brand. He then washed his bowl in the sink, still glad that the water was running, before returning to his cupboard. While he had promised Holly some food, Kit did note that they had little in the ways of extra food. The Kimura kitchen was slowly running low on a lot of staples, something Kit saw Harry acknowledge with his limiting of meals. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Kit could see that in maybe a week and a half he too could be asking for donations from the other people of Mulberry Street.

Still, Kit felt that he had to help, as it felt like the right thing to do. So he pulled out a reusable grocery bag and began filling it with the canned goods he had mentioned to Holly. A few cans of beans, some soup mix, and a can of evaporated milk made up Kit’s selection of goods. He considered heading over to the Holloway residence now, but decided he didn’t want to leave the house. Something about this particular day was really triggering Kit, his anxiety running rampant. He needed time to chill out.

After brushing his teeth, Kit headed back to his bedroom, collapsing down onto his bed. His body was still cold from the freezing shower, so he pulled his sheets over his body. He remained there for several minutes, unmoving, staring at the ceiling. Eventually his brain told Kit to get up, as it didn’t like his inactivity. Rising off the bed and heading over to his mirror and dresser, Kit’s eyes made contact with the photos attached to the mirror. They were Polaroid photos of his friends from high school, as Polaroid was retro which made it cool.

The photos were of a wide variety of students from Huddeen High School, representing many different cliques. That spoke to Kit’s ability to get along with anyone, as he had a huge friend base in town. But those positive memories of the past were overtaken by thoughts of today. Most of the people in the photos were probably dead. As they didn’t live on Mulberry Street, Kit had no way of knowing if they got to safety. They had shored up his street very early into the zombie crisis, unsure if anywhere else in town had managed to survive.

Needing to focus on something else, Kit grabbed the Nintendo Switch that was sitting on top of his dresser. While Kit was usually an avid gamer, he hadn’t felt like playing much since the whole end of the world thing. As a joke he considered playing a zombie killer game, but decided against it as he wanted an escape from real life, which now included zombies.

Going back to his bed, Kit decided to play through Zelda for the umpteenth time. Many hours were quickly sunk into the fantastic adventure, before Kit checked the time on his phone. It was ten minutes to two. Quickly saving, Kit turned off and then put away his Switch. Exiting his room, Kit saw his brother standing by the front door, putting on his shoes.

“I was wondering if I had to get you,” said Harry, “We’re cutting it kind of close.”

“Yeah, well I needed some me time,” responded Kit, “But yeah, we should get going.”

Kit then grabbed the bag of food for Holly, before throwing on some running shoes, Kit and his brother then departing their family home. Walking down the street, they reached the Merriweather gazebo in only a few minutes. A few of the other youths of Mulberry Street had already arrived, gathered around the gazebo. Kit walked over to the gathering but didn’t say anything. He wasn’t in the mood to talk as he was having an off day.

Into the Hasbroverse (Crossover Universe that works a little differently)

Like I said in the other thread, I'm interested in participating. How many characters are we allowed? Mostly asking because I have many character ideas. There's a Transformer who was neutral in the war and is now looked down upon for not picking a side. Also a Dungeons & Dragons adventurer who mistakenly arrives on Earth, as D&D is a Hasbro property. Lastly, a Power Ranger of some sort, I don't know right now. But I'm really into this concept.

Beast Wars?

I'd be down for this as reruns of Beast Wars is how I got into Transformers. Would we just playing as Maximals? Or would we get the option to also play as a Predacon. As for the wildlife of the planet, I would say we should have Earth animals and maybe some aliens mixed in. Maybe that could be a plot point trying to figure out what brought all these different species to the planet? Anyways, I'm really interested in this.

Zelt Vudo

Zelt Vudo

Species

Nagai/Sephi Hybrid

Gender

Male | He/Him

Age

21

Appearance

Standing a 5’6’’, Zelt is a little bit smaller than the average Sephi or Nagai. While slender, his build is quite athletic as he was a pro athlete. This athletics also led to Zelt having many scars across his body from sport. Feature wise, Zelt is a mix of both parents’ species. His silky skin is somewhere between the pale white of a Nagai and the pink of a Sephi. Both species possess pointed ears, the length of Zelt’s being somewhere in between the two species. Zelt’s hair is the length and texture of a Nagai, but its stark white color comes from his Sephi lineage. What is unusual about Zelt is his eye color, a light violet, much different than what is usually seen in his two species.

Attire wise, Zelt plays into the androgyny of how his physical features are. He tends to wear bright colors and close fitting clothing. This allowed him to have an unique image when he was an athlete. Now as a Jedi, Zelt bucks against the dress code. He still tries to be creative, hiding bright colored clothing beneath his plain brown Jedi robe.

Rank

Apprentice

Personality

Zelt has always been very active, both physically and mentally. This overabundance of energy makes Zelt an outspoken and impulsive individual. Sometimes this means he’s fun to be around, while other times he is insensitive and doesn’t anticipate the results of his actions. As such many people find Zelt a mixed bag, a very unpredictable being.

What is consistent about Zelt is his competitive nature. Since a young age, Zelt has always tried to outdo his peers. Whether this meant being the strongest, fastest, or wisest, Zelt felt that he always needed to come up on top. This led directly into Zelt’s athletic career. He always pushed himself to improve, to become better than all the competition. As such he is quite a poor sport and has trouble accepting defeat. This is when the worst of Zelt’s personality can come out.

Zelt is also a lot more amoral than his Jedi peers, having grown up on a moon filled with criminals. Even now Zelt still skirts a few laws and has a history of dabbling mind altering drugs mind altering drugs. He also has several other bad habits including an eating disorder, one caused by being in the spotlight.

But underneath all that self focus and disregard, Zelt can truly feel for others. He was known to send some of his credits made by playing Sarlaac Ball to those impoverished in his old neighborhood. Zelt also will rarely turn down a request, being one of the first people those in need would turn to. To Zelt this can also feel like a game, wanting to see how many people he could help.

Lightsaber

Zelt wields a single-bladed lightsaber of standard hilt size. It is comprised of a silver, metal cylinder, with two prongs sticking out past the blade emitter. Zelt has customized the hilt by attaching a key chain to the hilt, one with a little figure of a small Rancor, a piece that used to be on his Sarlaac Ball bat. The crystal contained within the hilt emits a very faint blue blade, almost bordering on white in color.

Skills

Form VI - Niman: Not really sure what to specialize in, Zelt has begun training in Form VI, the balanced form. Teaching a wide range of skills, Zelt has become more comfortable with his lightsaber and has begun working in Force techniques.

Athlete: Zelt is in great shape and can move very fast and for great periods. He also has training in several sports, most notably Sarlaac Ball. The Force subtly aids Zelt when he is active, improving his speed and reflexes, as well as guiding him to stay out of danger.

Mechanics: Growing up with a mechanic for a mother, Zelt was of course going to learn some of the basics. Zelt has a pretty decent understanding of how starship engines work and can diagnose a few simple problems. Unfortunately he didn’t pay a lot of attention as a child and as such only has basic knowledge.

Equipment

Besides his lightsaber, Zelt keeps a wrist mounted comm link on his left wrist, as well as a small bag with some credits and rations. Attached to Zelt’s right hip is a holster with a Nagai knife in it. This is more for connecting with his heritage than actually using it to fight.

Weakness

Anger: Perhaps it is the Nagai blood in him, but Zelt has a short fuse. He can get riled up easily and gets into a lot of fights. While this anger can empower the Force, it is routed in fear so that its hard to control. Even with Jedi training, Zelt still has a fiery temper which has earned him a bad reputation at the Academy.

Eating Disorder: As more of a spotlight was put on the young Zelt, he felt that he had to maintain a certain image. Known for his small and lithe body, Zelt thought that he needed to maintain that physique by limiting what he ate. This quickly spiraled into periods of not eating and gorging himself before purging. Even at the Academy Zelt still struggles with this and he hopes that knights and master of the Academy never discover his secret.

Injured Leg: While he won’t admit it to anyone, Zelt sustained a bad injury to his right leg during a Sarlaac Ball game. It never healed properly and it has given him a slight limp. However he unknowingly masked it with the Force, willing the pain away and allowing him to remain active. But with every passing year, the damage to his leg seems to get worse as his mobility is incrementally reduced.

Background

Born on Nar Shaddaa, also known as the Smuggler’s Moon, Zelt would be the love child of two different groups of criminals. Zelt’s mother was a Sephi, a long lived race of artists. In her case she was a starship customizer, making alterations for some big name clients. But Zelt’s father was a Nagai, a mysterious race of warriors from beyond this galaxy. The two had met at a gladiator event on the moon, both guests of a Hutt. From there they would leave and go bar hopping, eventually spending the night together. The next day, Zelt’s father would leave Nar Shaddaa, off on some mission for his Hutt employer. Zelt’s mother would never see him again, left to raise Zelt alone.

As a child, Zelt would be raised in the back of his mother’s mechanical garage which was located in a slightly nicer part of the Smuggler’s Moon. Zelt’s mother would attempt to teach him about mechanics but Zelt had little interest. Instead he would explore his neighborhood, quickly learning what parts were best to avoid if you wanted to remain alive. In doing this, Zelt would meet the other children who lived nearby. Most were bastards or otherwise unwanted, yet Zelt felt a kinship with them.

The youths would play simple sports in the street, Zelt quickly becoming the best out of the locals. With the aggressiveness that came with having Nagai blood, Zelt was fierce on the field. His speed and fiery attitude caught the attention of a local Twi’lek “businessman”, who recruited Zelt as a package deliverer. As there were no child labor laws on Nar Shaddaa, Zelt accepted the job and began to ferry items all around his local part of the moon.

About a year into this job, Zelt’s family would be shaken up when his mother had an accident at work. Left disabled, her garage would eventually sold off. To help his ailing mother, Zelt looked for more employment opportunities. Recalling the sports of his youth, Zelt would sign up for a Sarlaac Ball league. The sport was fairly new, having been created during the reign of the Galactic Empire, and was notably very deadly. While allowed to play, no team wanted to recruit the small Zelt. However, one team would lose a player to a broken neck, and needing a quick replacement would take Zelt on.

During his first match, Zelt would excel at the brutal sport, dodging others easily and being proficient with the duel bat. It was almost as if he could sense what the other players were going to do before they did it. This intuition in the back of his mind helped Zelt to quickly ramp up in the rankings. After less than a year of playing, Zelt would jump teams into a bigger league, one that took him off the Smuggler’s Moon.

Now planet hopping as he played other pro teams, Zelt would begin to make serious money. While tempted to spend it frivolously, instead he used it to send his mother to a proper home for the disabled on the Sephi home world of Thustra. Now no longer needing to worry about his mother, Zelt threw himself fully into Sarlaac Ball. Hailed as a young prodigy, Zelt would begin to be offered sponsorships.

However, this increased attention would lead to Zelt’s downfall. While playing a championship match on Nal Hutta, Zelt would be watched by an old Force mystic, one who advised many Hutts, using his connection to the Force to detect gamblers manipulating the odds through the Force. The mystic just happened to be at Zelt’s game when he could quickly detect the player’s use of the Force. Seeing this as cheating, he informed his Hutt employer. Within a day of that game, the information of Zelt’s apparent cheating was posted all over the Holo Net, his fans quickly jumping ship.

In less than a week, all off the sponsorships went away and Zelt was kicked off his team. Things only got worse when the Hutt who owned said team had to refund all bets involving Zelt’s playing. Angry at the young man, the Hutt would put out a hit on Zelt, to make an example for all potential cheaters. After an initial attempt on Zelt’s life, he would flee Hutt space.

Zelt would bounce around from planet to planet, trying to plot his next move. His name had been blacklisted on the Holo Net, so no sports team would hire him. Feeling dejected, Zelt would go to Thustra to visit his mother. However he would be ambushed by bounty hunters who figured he would eventually show up there. The hunters would track Zelt through the capital city, Zelt using the Force to speed up his step. But this would lead to Zelt being cornered in a dead end alley.

Faced with the possibly of being killed, Zelt gave into his fear and unleashed a massive Force push, sending the bounty hunters skidding away hundreds of feet. Zelt attempted to escape in the confusion only to run into a Jedi Knight. The man was able to scare off the bounty hunters with his lightsaber. He then revealed that he too had been looking for Zelt after his public outing as a Force user, and figured he would come to Thustra eventually. The Jedi Knight then offered Zelt an option besides being on the run for the rest of his life, joining the Jedi Academy.

It only took a few minutes for Zelt to consider his options, but would ultimately decided to go with the Jedi Knight. As Zelt sat on the starship traveling through hyperspace to the far off planet of D’Qar, he tried to view this as a second chance, one which he wouldn’t screw up.

Star Wars: Jedi Academy

@Theyra
Alright here’s a revised character sheet. In response to the issues you had I made the following changes: The Jedi were actively searching for Zelt after his public outing as a Force user, which they tracked him to Thustra, much like the bounty hunters did. I elaborated on the Force mystic who works for the Hutts in that his primary job is to catch cheaters using the Force to win at Hutt casinos, but he just happened to be in the arena to see Zelt play when he sensed the use of the Force. As for the drug addiction, it’s been scrapped. Instead Zelt now struggles with an eating disorder, something a little bit easier to mask. Let me know if anything else needs changing.

The mystic just happened to be at Zelt’s game when he could quickly detect the player’s use of the Force. Seeing this as cheating, he informed his Hutt employer. Within a day of that game, the information of Zelt’s apparent cheating was posted all over the Holo Net, his fans quickly jumping ship.

In less than a week, all off the sponsorships went away and Zelt was kicked off his team. Things only got worse when the Hutt who owned said team had to refund all bets involving Zelt’s playing. Angry at the young man, the Hutt would put out a hit on Zelt, to make an example for all potential cheaters. After an initial attempt on Zelt’s life, he would flee Hutt space.

Zelt would bounce around from planet to planet, trying to plot his next move. His name had been blacklisted on the Holo Net, so no sports team would hire him. Feeling dejected, Zelt would go to Thustra to visit his mother. However he would be ambushed by bounty hunters who figured he would eventually show up there. The hunters would track Zelt through the capital city, Zelt using the Force to speed up his step. But this would lead to Zelt being cornered in a dead end alley.

Faced with the possibly of being killed, Zelt gave into his fear and unleashed a massive Force push, sending the bounty hunters skidding away hundreds of feet. Zelt attempted to escape in the confusion only to run into a Jedi Knight. The man was able to scare off the bounty hunters with his lightsaber. He then revealed that he too had been looking for Zelt after his public outing as a Force user, and figured he would come to Thustra eventually. The Jedi Knight then offered Zelt an option besides being on the run for the rest of his life, joining the Jedi Academy.

It only took a few minutes for Zelt to consider his options, but would ultimately decided to go with the Jedi Knight. As Zelt sat on the starship traveling through hyperspace to the far off planet of D’Qar, he tried to view this as a second chance, one which he wouldn’t screw up.

Sorry about the delay in the character sheet. I kept flip flopping over some creative decisions. Let me know if anything needs changing.

Zelt Vudo

Zelt Vudo

Species

Nagai/Sephi Hybrid

Gender

Male | He/Him

Age

21

Appearance

Standing a 5’6’’, Zelt is a little bit smaller than the average Sephi or Nagai. While slender, his build is quite athletic as he was a pro athlete. This athletics also led to Zelt having many scars across his body from sport. Feature wise, Zelt is a mix of both parents’ species. His silky skin is somewhere between the pale white of a Nagai and the pink of a Sephi. Both species possess pointed ears, the length of Zelt’s being somewhere in between the two species. Zelt’s hair is the length and texture of a Nagai, but its stark white color comes from his Sephi lineage. What is unusual about Zelt is his eye color, a light violet, much different than what is usually seen in his two species.

Attire wise, Zelt plays into the androgyny of how his physical features are. He tends to wear bright colors and close fitting clothing. This allowed him to have an unique image when he was an athlete. Now as a Jedi, Zelt bucks against the dress code. He still tries to be creative, hiding bright colored clothing beneath his plain brown Jedi robe.

Rank

Apprentice

Personality

Zelt has always been very active, both physically and mentally. This overabundance of energy makes Zelt an outspoken and impulsive individual. Sometimes this means he’s fun to be around, while other times he is insensitive and doesn’t anticipate the results of his actions. As such many people find Zelt a mixed bag, a very unpredictable being.

What is consistent about Zelt is his competitive nature. Since a young age, Zelt has always tried to outdo his peers. Whether this meant being the strongest, fastest, or wisest, Zelt felt that he always needed to come up on top. This led directly into Zelt’s athletic career. He always pushed himself to improve, to become better than all the competition. As such he is quite a poor sport and has trouble accepting defeat. This is when the worst of Zelt’s personality can come out.

Zelt is also a lot more amoral than his Jedi peers, having grown up on a moon filled with criminals. Even now Zelt still skirts a few laws and has a bad habit of taking mind altering drugs. While he thinks he can hide it well, Zelt is terrified of the Order finding out. And yet he still takes the substances.

But underneath all that self focus and disregard, Zelt can truly feel for others. He was known to send some of his credits made by playing Sarlaac Ball to those impoverished in his old neighborhood. Zelt also will rarely turn down a request, being one of the first people those in need would turn to. To Zelt this can also feel like a game, wanting to see how many people he could help.

Lightsaber

Zelt wields a single-bladed lightsaber of standard hilt size. It is comprised of a silver, metal cylinder, with two prongs sticking out past the blade emitter. Zelt has customized the hilt by attaching a key chain to the hilt, one with a little figure of a small Rancor, a piece that used to be on his Sarlaac Ball bat. The crystal contained within the hilt emits a very faint blue blade, almost bordering on white in color.

Skills

Form VI - Niman: Not really sure what to specialize in, Zelt has begun training in Form VI, the balanced form. Teaching a wide range of skills, Zelt has become more comfortable with his lightsaber and has begun working in Force techniques.

Athlete: Zelt is in great shape and can move very fast and for great periods. He also has training in several sports, most notably Sarlaac Ball. The Force subtly aids Zelt when he is active, improving his speed and reflexes, as well as guiding him to stay out of danger.

Mechanics: Growing up with a mechanic for a mother, Zelt was of course going to learn some of the basics. Zelt has a pretty decent understanding of how starship engines work and can diagnose a few simple problems. Unfortunately he didn’t pay a lot of attention as a child and as such only has basic knowledge.

Equipment

Besides his lightsaber, Zelt keeps a wrist mounted comm link on his left wrist, as well as a small bag with some credits and rations. Attached to Zelt’s right hip is a holster with a Nagai knife in it. This is more for connecting with his heritage than actually using it to fight.

Weakness

Anger: Perhaps it is the Nagai blood in him, but Zelt has a short fuse. He can get riled up easily and gets into a lot of fights. While this anger can empower the Force, it is routed in fear so that its hard to control. Even with Jedi training, Zelt still has a fiery temper which has earned him a bad reputation at the Academy.

Drug Addict: As part of the high rolling life of a professional athlete, Zelt began to dabble in drugs. While used mostly at parties, in recent years Zelt has begun to crave certain substances. He prefers to take mind altering drugs, which can have a strange interaction with the Force. Zelt has had nightmares of terrible things reaching out through the Force to him, or at least he thought they were nightmares.

Injured Leg: While he won’t admit it to anyone, Zelt sustained a bad injury to his right leg during a Sarlaac Ball game. It never healed properly and it has given him a slight limp. However he unknowingly masked it with the Force, willing the pain away and allowing him to remain active. But with every passing year, the damage to his leg seems to get worse as his mobility is incrementally reduced.

Background

Born on Nar Shaddaa, also known as the Smuggler’s Moon, Zelt would be the love child of two different groups of criminals. Zelt’s mother was a Sephi, a long lived race of artists. In her case she was a starship customizer, making alterations for some big name clients. But Zelt’s father was a Nagai, a mysterious race of warriors from beyond this galaxy. The two had met at a gladiator event on the moon, both guests of a Hutt. From there they would leave and go bar hopping, eventually spending the night together. The next day, Zelt’s father would leave Nar Shaddaa, off on some mission for his Hutt employer. Zelt’s mother would never see him again, left to raise Zelt alone.

As a child, Zelt would be raised in the back of his mother’s mechanical garage which was located in a slightly nicer part of the Smuggler’s Moon. Zelt’s mother would attempt to teach him about mechanics but Zelt had little interest. Instead he would explore his neighborhood, quickly learning what parts were best to avoid if you wanted to remain alive. In doing this, Zelt would meet the other children who lived nearby. Most were bastards or otherwise unwanted, yet Zelt felt a kinship with them.

The youths would play simple sports in the street, Zelt quickly becoming the best out of the locals. With the aggressiveness that came with having Nagai blood, Zelt was fierce on the field. His speed and fiery attitude caught the attention of a local Twi’lek “businessman”, who recruited Zelt as a package deliverer. As there were no child labor laws on Nar Shaddaa, Zelt accepted the job and began to ferry items all around his local part of the moon.

About a year into this job, Zelt’s family would be shaken up when his mother had an accident at work. Left disabled, her garage would eventually sold off. To help his ailing mother, Zelt looked for more employment opportunities. Recalling the sports of his youth, Zelt would sign up for a Sarlaac Ball league. The sport was fairly new, having been created during the reign of the Galactic Empire, and was notably very deadly. While allowed to play, no team wanted to recruit the small Zelt. However, one team would lose a player to a broken neck, and needing a quick replacement would take Zelt on.

During his first match, Zelt would excel at the brutal sport, dodging others easily and being proficient with the duel bat. It was almost as if he could sense what the other players were going to do before they did it. This intuition in the back of his mind helped Zelt to quickly ramp up in the rankings. After less than a year of playing, Zelt would jump teams into a bigger league, one that took him off the Smuggler’s Moon.

Now planet hopping as he played other pro teams, Zelt would begin to make serious money. While tempted to spend it frivously, instead he used it to send his mother to a proper home for the disabled on the Sephi home world of Thustra. Now no longer needing to worry about his mother, Zelt threw himself fully into Sarlaac Ball. Hailed as a young prodigy, Zelt would begin to be offered sponsorships.

However, this increased attention would lead to Zelt’s downfall. While playing a championship match on Nal Hutta, Zelt would be watched by an old Force mystic, one who advised many Hutts. The mystic would conclude that Zelt had been using the Force to have an unfair advantage. This information was then posted all over the Holo Net, as all of Zelt’s fans began to view him as a cheater.

Within a week, all off the sponsorships went away and Zelt was kicked off his team. Things only got worse when the Hutt who owned said team had to refund all bets involving Zelt’s playing. Angry at the young man, the Hutt would put out a hit on Zelt, to make an example for all potential cheaters. After an initial attempt on Zelt’s life, he would flee Hutt space.

Zelt would bounce around from planet to planet, trying to plot his next move. His name had been blacklisted on the Holo Net, so no sports team would hire him. Feeling dejected, Zelt would go to Thustra to visit his mother. However he would be ambushed by bounty hunters who figured he would eventually show up there. The hunters would track Zelt through the capital city, Zelt using the Force to speed up his step. But this would lead to Zelt being cornered in a dead end alley.

Faced with the possibily of being killed, Zelt gave into his fear and unleashed a massive Force push, sending the bounty hunters skidding away hundreds of feet. Using this confusion to escape, Zelt ended up at the docking pad. He was looking for passage to anywhere that was far away. The only person who take him was a man headed to D’Qar, which Zelt went with.

While traveling through hyperspace, the man would reveal himself to be a Jedi and that he had sensed Zelt’s power in the Force. The Jedi offered Zelt a new life on D’Qar, where he could be his best self. Not seeing many other options, Zelt would agree to become a Jedi Apprentice.

Franc and Stein's Polytechnic Institute (a school for mad scientists)

@Gisk
So you said early 19th century, which I guess precludes the year 1867. I’m asking because I want to make a Canadian, or at least someone from where would become Canada, so it would affect if they were a nation yet. The idea I have is he comes from a long line of veterinarians, helping with farm livestock mostly. Of course my character gets the mad scientist bug and begins experimenting with creating hybrid-creatures. He would also have an interest in uplifting animals, so that they could do more tasks. Is end goal is a race of Beast-Men who serve humanity.
