Name: Khirr 'Aruetii' Sylvax
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Cathar
Home Planet: Cathar
Appearance:
Most of the time, Khirr is kitted out in his full captain's outfit, which includes a full-face mask that he uses to conceal both his identity (for obvious reasons) and his species (to avoid bringing dishonor on his family line, despite how he apparently feels about his lifestyle choices).
Beneath the mask, however, Khirr's fur is a brilliant white, his well-kept face tainted only by his left eye - while his right is shining, ever-alert, and lightning blue, his left is scarred, milky-white, and ugly to look upon. He keeps his mane tightly shorn so as remain tidy and discreet, and his mouth brims with sharp talons but offers a charismatic smile - if one tempered by fangs. His body is slim but brims with natural Cathar muscle, his frame slender but athletic, and his gloves are often removed for use of his natural Cathar talons in tune with his surprising strength and swiftness to hold his own in hand-to-hand combat.
Personality: Khirr strikes out against the rest of his specie's lofty moral code by being ruthless and questionable to even the most loyal of his men. Gone rogue, he is an exceptionally dangerous smuggler and borders on being an outright outlaw, nearly any job and contract being taken if the pay is suitable - the only jobs Khirr has been known to refuse are those involving children and members of his own race. Beyond those two requirements, Khirr has undertaken jobs involving theft, espionage, smuggling, species trafficking, drug running, and even murder, demanding appropriate pay rates each and every time, and using every credit to keep his ship running and his name off the most wanted list.
Despite his efforts, Khirr has made a name for himself. His own home planet brand him unwanted, referring to him as 'Aruetii', or 'Traitor'. Though Khirr took grievance at first, he has since grown into the moniker, and now takes on most of his jobs under the alias. He's a ruthless bounty hunter, using his Cathar instincts to his advantage, but takes hunting jobs less often to aid a more subtle existance, and also a more reliable paycheck. However, a particular posting about Geonosis has recently taken his interest...
Ship:
An E-9 Explorer-class Scout Vessel that Khirr has dubbed the 'Cutlass'. With 2 Laser Cannons, a minimum crew of 4, a passenger capacity of 4, 2 escape pods, shielding, navigation, and a hyperdrive system, the Cutlass is everything Khirr could need for his operations.
Weapons:
Customised WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistol: Longer barrel and higher-intensity charger for more power and accuracy per shot at the cost of chargers per battery and shot frequency without overheating.
Natural Chathar talons, combined with strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
Short Vibro-Blade, held in his off-hand as a dagger.
Alignment: Neutral - Khirr serves himself and himself only.
Bio: Despite Khirr's good fur and natural predatory talents, his Cathar temper nearly always got the better of him; it lost him sibling semi-fights as a kit, it lost him his eye in his ritual hunting of a nest of Kiltik; and ultimately, after a series of disagreements about what needed to be done with a crashed pilot on their planet, it lost the respect of his family. Ultimately, Khirr was lead to put the ailing pilot out of the misery that was only prolonged by Cathar Elder medicinal practises (Cathar healing capabilities rarely need doctors), and to take his ship with him, fashioning an outfit and finding a crew, quickly finding any job that would keep him afloat.
From there, Khirr came to enjoy his line of work. It was often brutal and aggressive, naturally lending itself to the preferences of his race, and he found that by only taking the occasional bounty, he could remain under eye as a mere smuggler and thereby stay out of the spotlight of galactic law. He found himself proficient in a number of practises, and has become known for being ruthless, lacking a distinct moral code, and his sheer competence in many a line of questionable occupations.
Khirr is more of an outlaw than his proud blood will allow him to admit - but that does not mean he does not revel in the actions of his chosen lifestyle.
Why are you on Geonosis?: Khirr has been low on jobs recently since a clashing with a rival smuggler resulted in the untimely death of a bounty wanted alive after an uncontrollable bout of classic Cathar temper. The free-for-all posting about Darth Vandread on Geonosis piqued his interest for a good haul of galactic credits...if he can get there first.
Looks good! Accepted!
@Lord Wraith The Bio is looking good! I'll just add your character to the list now before I forget, can't wait to hear about Vrill's Co-Pilot!
