( THE BASICS ) Name: Sinjir Rath Velus Canon: Star Wars: Aftermath series Character's (approximate) age: 34 Character's powers: Spider Manipulation, Sarcasm (including Vicious Mockery and Cutting Words) Is your character registered/will they be?: Nope, nope. Where does your character live?: Heropa #002 Are you looking for roommates?: It's government housing. What is your character's job?: He was assigned the job of Bughandler at Heropa's Museum of Enterprising Entymologists, which he's never shown up at needless to say. He's in the process of arranging to work for Lando Calrissian's moving company.
( THE DETAILS ) RUNDOWN -- what are your character's skills, likes/dislikes, urgent needs?: Skills:Interrogation and emotional manipulation: As part of his ISB training, he learned how to read body language, how to detect lies, how to use people against one another, how to easily provoke people, make them uncomfortable and put them off-balance. He's an expert at causing pain. Hand-to-hand combat: He's able to disarm opponents easily (even when drunk), inflicting an incapacitating amount of physical pain in the process. Basic knowledge of starship operation and navigation: although he's by no means a crack pilot. Likes: Maintaining a low level of fuzziness with alcohol. Dislikes: Sobriety Urgent needs: Removing any need for urgency from his life. What are your character's plans?: Existing, at the moment. Does your character have a secret identity?: No Is your character open for pairings?: As far as I'm concerned, yes. From his perspective however, he's just coming off of breaking up with his boyfriend, feeling that Conder deserves a better man than he and that he himself doesn't deserve any genuine happiness, forever destined to wallow in an alcoholic puddle of self-pity, unable to escape his past. So, on the rebound pretty much. He'd be more interested in one night stands than a relationship. Fyi, he's canonically very gay. Are you open to having your character get hurt? Or, for villains, hurt others?: Hurting him is fine, just warn me. While Sinjir is no longer technically a villain, in his mind he still is, because his skill and capacity to hurt people continues, filling him with self-loathing (It's Complicated, as can be seen in the quotes below. Side note: this is why he drinks so much.) "When I served at the pleasure of the Empire, I served as a loyalty officer, and sometimes extracting loyalty from my fellows took a bit of doing. I learned that the human body has four hundred thirty-four trigger points of pain. I know it lacks humility to say, but I actually discovered another three all by myself, although amending an Imperial training manual is like trying to move a boulder with a spoon, you know? All this is a very long road to a very simple destination: I am excellent at causing pain."
"I threaten people and make them do things. I tell them I will break their hands, kill their mothers, ruin all that they hold dear. I know how to find weakness. I know how to exploit it. And..." His voice drifts and he almost fails to summon the next part. "I think I enjoy it."
"Because history demands distasteful things be done to preserve it. Because being good sometimes means still being bad. Because it's who I am and if I didn't do it, we'd probably still be sitting here scratching ourselves wondering whatever could we do? I am here for a reason. I am a tool that fulfills a very exclusive function. What good am I if I don't fill it?"
Is your character interested in teams?: Possibly! In his canon, he was part of a ragtag group of (mostly) bounty-hunter/mercenaries, hunting down notorious Imperials for the New Republic. What kind of plots are you after?: Right now, mostly building CR, but anything, especially any prospect of using his morally questionable skills for a good cause. Anything else?: feel free to plurk add! deadscorpy
