Orlan — Roleplayer Guild

"Boss, we have received a new bounty on the way to Correllia, from an Imperial Admiral, five people, three human, Twi'lek and a Sullustan, more details on the datapad."  Cobbler reports to his Bothan owner, sitting in the cockpit. "Thank you Cobbler, but let's deposit our ambassador first... How long till Correllia J7?" Kai requests, starting to drink some form of beer. An accompanying beep chirps from a recently polished R2 unit. "Around five minutes sir, you really need to allow me to teach you how to understand R2J7 one day..." Cobbler translates with reasonable disgust, waddling to some part of the ship. A disagreeable beep emits from J7, continuing to pilot the ship. Kai leaves his reliable little pilot to get his hunting equipment ready. A minute later Kai is cleaning and arranging his hunting clothes and equipment in a shooting range-like weapon storeroom, training his aim on three deactivated B1 battle droids dressed in certain forms of armour, the Bothan's aim being quite decent, deciding to activate one of the clankers, now testing Kai's aim on moving and panicked targets. 

Kai the Lucky. 
Name - Kai Kre'Sei

Alias - The Jedi Tracker, The Lucky

Species - Bothan

Gender - Male

Age - 30

Appearance -  

Kai normally wears a relatively plain outfit involving waist-high robes, dress trousers, thick boots and a plain shirt beneath the robes. The only thing missing from the hunting clothes is a wide hat and pair of goggles, he sometimes wears the same brown hat with his normal clothes. 

Height - 1.6 metres high. 

Weight - 60 kilograms without equipment, 100 with equipment.

Apparel/Armor - A reasonably weighted vest that can withstand at best averagely powerful bolts beneath everything he wears, chiefly the normal chest-high robes, trousers and so on which aren't very protective. Kai's hunting clothes have certain patches of armour woven together in areas he thinks need more protection, especially the legs since the vest only covers the torso. 

Weapons - A garrotte, a small mining laser, a single stun grenade, a blaster sniper rifle he keeps on the airspeeder, a stunner and a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol he reserves for special occasions, finally a decent enough stun gun he tends to use regularly.

Equipment - 
A modified RA-7 protocol droid Kai names Cobbler he uses as a translator and pilot, it normally stays aboard the ship.
R2J7, an astromech Kai kidnapped and had reprogrammed to both repair the ship and man two thirds of the weapons.
A datapad.
An old airspeeder he inherited, camping equipment on the airspeeder.
Finally a bag of climbing equipment. 

Personal starship - A heavily modified YV-929 armed freighter, The Sanctuary is something Kai decided to take from one of his now late targets, since there are only three occupants two of the gunner areas have been merged and altered for use by the astromech, Kai's room is two cabins merged together while J7 and Cobbler share another merged two cabins, two of the remaining cabins are set as guest cabins while the other four have been repurposed for storage. Kai normally collects the armour, weaponry or other valueable items of both his targets and their bodyguards aboard, selling off the illegal goods as soon as possible or keeping the most interesting as trinkets that decorate Kai's cabin.

Skills - 
Expert shot with sniper rifles.
Very good with stun weaponry.
Reasonable pilot.
Good strategist.
Very persuasive.
Decent enough mechanic.
Fluently speaks galactic standard, can write it quickly and accurately as well. 
Flaws -

Despises deviations to his plan.

He isn't very strong, strong enough to use most ranged weaponry and strangle someone to death but he can't tackle someone and keep them down without technology.

Hopeless with any form of melee weapon excluding cutlery, Kai can at most handle cutlery competently, his garrotte is the only exception.

He panics when someone's trying to kill him close up.

Kai is normally a bit cocky, something that people can take advantage of. 

Moderately lazy, he might give up hunting someone if they're annoyingly plucky and evasive.

Kai isn't the most agile Bothan to grace the Galaxy, he is only averagely agile, not very graceful in his climbing either. 

Respects his past: Backstory will explain Kai's connections with Bothan Spynet but he will never kill any Bothan Spynet operatives that he knows of, and send them any information he thinks they might want.

The Bothan Way means that Kai will mostly care for himself, his family, his clan and other Bothans above all else... if there was a fellow Bothan and a wookie dangling from a ledge above a bottom-less pit he would save the Bothan because of The Way, not just because wookies are hefty, jawa-level stinking carpets on legs, his actual opinion on wookies there too, so this flaw is his beliefs. 

Personality - Kai is normally laid back and relatively friendly on the surface, however he is a cunning strategist and a firm, almost zealotous believer in The (Bothan) Way if you watch his actions for a while or know him personally, taking every opportunity he can to practice The Way's teachings. Kai is a reasonable and understanding Bothan to a friend, a confident and relatable gentleman who seemingly knows all to a stranger and the cowardly sniper with the odd escape route for himself to his targets. 

Backstory - The son of a respectable family of Bothan spies and politicians, Kai had been taught to follow The Way at an early age by his parents who both cared for him but did put him in the deep end a lot to train him in the family trade of espionage. At the earliest age for acceptance into the Bothan Spynet Kai was sent to begin his more formal training. 
Kai did reasonably well in intelligence gathering however his specialization was in tracking and killing, thus Kai was given the job of becoming one of their assassins, using the Bounty Hunting profession as both another job and front. Kai has since distanced himself a bit from the Spynet when they wanted him to try and spur on dissent in the Empire, favouring his chances between the Empire and any opposition in accordance with The Way, an interesting part of Kai's past he might share is that he once killed a Jedi he was hunting by landing The Sanctuary on the poor Ithorian on a junk planet, Kai was considered as good as dead considering the fact that it was a Jedi Master the lucky Bothan was sent to hunt down. The Ithorian target was prepared in every way excluding the fact that the landing gear had a spike stuck in it, which replaced the Jedi's spine...  the client believed that a Jedi could not be killed so easily and thought Kai was being humble. Believing that there was a brilliant and heroic battle that ended with Kai using a severed bit of his ship to kill the Jedi. Kai had attracted the attention of the Empire with that target, being spurred on by the Spynet and the pay offered Kai an opportunity to keep to The Way as well as use his lucky spinal replacement for that unlucky Jedi.
