Hutt questions...

[Zahn]

I would like to RP a hutt, but am not sure how to go about that. I want to go with the name Zurg.
Heres my questions...
1. Can they move well?
2. Can they wield weapons?
3. Can some speak basic?
4. What combat occupations would be available to one? Pilot maybe?

I also asked two mods in PMs (sorry mods! :( )

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

uhhh...the only hutt known to actually move at all and wield a weapon was a jedi...Most hutts sit on their fat arses and have crime syndicates to do everything for them.

Hey, Gorrbag moves around and uses a gun! He even has Hutt battle armour!
:CStern:

rofl, and he's also a transvestite isn't he?

edit: Sorry not a transvestite, capable of having sex with other things not huttish.

 

[Phil]

Far as I know, he dosen't wear anything. And all Hutts are Hermaphrodites.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

And all Hutts are Hermaphrodites.

huh didn't know that.

I think I might look into making a hutt, then we can all three have hutts and have gang wars. Might make for an interesting sub plot.

 

[Phil]

Indeed. Just some have male personalities and some have female personalities.

A Gang war involving The Hutts would be very intresting.

But as for the questions, I already awnsered the first two in the PM.

3. Still not sure, When ever My Hutt speaks, I just make it seem he uses huttese, and anyone who talks to him understands it. If not, I always have my droid translate it.

 

[Zahn]

I'd like the hutt to be a footsoldier, but I'm not sure how possible that is. Oh, and yeah... I recall that Jabba did move in the movies. Are there things that would help a hutt move to be good as a footsoldier?
Are there any prerequisites for being a hutt jedi? He could like... Float with the force. Dunno. I'd prefer footsoldier myself.

 

[Phil]

There is Hutt Battle Armour.

There are also Hover pads that Hutts use to travel around. Kinda like what Yoda uses in Episode II when he is talking to Kenobi and Windu, just this would be for Hutts.

I think it is possible for Hutts to be Jedi, would have to ask the Grand Master(Brandon Rhea) on that for more info.

I'm kinda seeing that one as really effing hard to pull of. There was only one jedi hutt, and he fell to the dark side and became a ruler of a planet anyway.

Hutts usually don't do work. They gamble, rig races, basically are the mafia of the starwars universe. They're big fat slimey slugs that can't move very well and usually have something such as a repulsor lift type thing carry them places when they want to move, or have something pulled by their slaves.

 

[Ser Gregor]

Taken from Wookieepedia:

In fact, a Hutt's thick, fatty hide hid a powerful musculature, allowing them to move with surprising speed on the single muscular "foot" formed by the base of their tail and belly. Their thick, sweaty skin and the heavy layer of fat beneath it served an evolutionary role, maintaining their body temperature. In fact, a Hutt's hide was sufficiently thick to take several blaster shots before vital organs can be reached, permitting the Hutt ample time to pulverize would-be assassins who come unprepared to deal with such a fleshy obstacle. The slimy coating of sweat and mucus protected them from burns. [1] They were also immune to many otherwise lethal chemicals, and could strike lethal blows with their tails.

 

[Phil]

I actualy made a Jedi Hutt named Foobfab. He had a beard, a stupid name, attempted to master Ataru(Failed miserably), and a drinking problem. Prolly the most comical character I ever made, and one I didn't RP with once.

Taken from Wookieepedia:

:CShock: I would never have guessed any of that.

 

[Lavi]

Hutts can move, but are slow. Ep. I's podracing scene.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Also taken from wookieepedia: Full-grown adult Hutts were very large creatures, boasting a total body-weight of as much as a metric ton. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they were often semi-sedentary, spending their days lounging lazily, and traveling on repulsorlift sleds or palanquins borne by teams of slaves. Most of their bulk rested in their bulging belly and thick, slug-like tail, adding to their impression of bloated corruption. In Hutt society, weight was equated with power and status, so thin Hutts were derided as weak and unworthy.


for a minute I was thinking all my knowledge on the hutts was dead wrong...whew.

 

[Trakon]

Then we can all three have hutts and have gang wars. Might make for an interesting sub plot.

Add in The Prophet and we can have a fourway.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I thought he was a cult leader, not a gang leader...would be interesting though...I'm still not entirely convinced about having a hutt as a crime lord, mainly cause I don't like the idea of having to roll play something that fat...but maybe...

 

[Roman]

Or, if you really wanted to rp as a Hutt, you could create an independent faction. Then you wouldn't have to leave their stereotypical role.

If you start that, I might make a character to be a servant of one of your hutts. Maybe like a foot soldier or something.

I'm currently looking for recruits basically having Korsac show up in open RP's and asking about certain people within them.
