FACTION: Independent
RANK: N/A
SPECIES: Human
AGE: 38
GENDER: Male
FORCE SENSITIVE: No
APPEARANCE:
Standing at 6'3", James has a distinguished figure complimented by 215 lbs of honed muscle. He has blue eyes and has unkempt brown hair. Various scars stretch along his tanned body, with one particularly long - albeit faded - one crossing his nose onto his left cheek. Additionally, his left arm to the elbow has been replaced by a mechanical counterpart.
ATTRIBUTES:
While incredibly skilled with the prodigious amounts of weaponry and gadgets that can be found strewn throughout his kit, James' true skills lay in his ability to simply talk his way into and out of dangerous situations. He is a sharp negotiator and always makes sure that any of his potential enemies would have a reason not to kill him should things take a wrong turn. However, if things do get dirty, James is more than capable of defending himself with his notable stamina and agility, despite his otherwise average physical traits. Due to this, James is often headstrong and is prone to getting himself into situations that he cannot physically handle, upon which he is forced to negotiate or retreat.
PERSONALITY:
James is easily described as a rogue, scoundrel, and cheat. However, he is just as easily described as dashing, determined, and loyal. In reality, he is just out for himself and the few people he considers friends. Towards strangers and acquaintances, he has almost no moral boundaries - and will lie, cheat, and steal his way to get what he wants from them. However, towards the incredibly few who have managed to earn his trust, James is one of the most reliable allies they can ask for. Those close to him would often joke that he would fight through both the Jedi and the Sith to help his friends, such was the extent of his loyalty (its too bad he trusts next to nobody).
A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY:
As far as James' is concerned, he had no parents. For as long as he could remember, he had been raised by a ruthless bounty hunter who, for some inexplicable reason, had taken him under his wing. The bounty hunter was cold, and was tough - both physically and emotionally - on the young James. There was no love lost between the two - beatings occurred on a semi-daily basis, and on numerous occasions the two swore to one day kill the other. Still, it wasn't as if James' caretaker hated the young boy. After all, the bounty hunter kept him safe (when not on the hunt), fed, and taught him the vast intricacies of living life on the line between law and anarchy. It was at this time that James' honed his skill with various weapons and gadgets, as well as his silver tongue. All in all, it was as good a life as an orphan born to nobody could hope for. They had a ship, a well paying albeit dangerous lifestyle, and the freedom to do whatever they wished.
Inevitably, a bounty went bad and the two were surrounded by their mark and a gang of hired guns. James made a snap decision and unhesitatingly shot down his mentor and father-figure without any warning. Taking advantage of his mark's shock, he quickly talked his way out of the situation and into relative safety.
Ever since, James has continued his life on the fringe. While he still takes bounties once in a while, he has expanded his enterprise to include most sorts of well paying job, be it criminal or legal. He has also made certain to keep an eye out for his mentor's old ship, which had also been lost when he had killed the bounty hunter.
SKILLS:
Due to his life as an independent hunter, James has developed a plethora of skills that contribute to his being able to operate alone in dangerous space. Of course, he is no master, but he is a competent tech/mechanic, tracker, and medic.
Additionally, he is an above-average pilot and knife-wielder, and is exceptional in the arts of pistols and sweet talking.
Language-wise, James is fluent in both Basic and Huttese.
GEAR:
Deadeye Bounty Hunter Armor (sans helmet)
2x SKR Sporting Revolver in Blaster Configuration
Prosthetic Arm
2x Smoke Grenade
2x Concussion Grenade
2x VibroKnife
- One concealed in his left boot, one located on his upper left arm, concealed by the red poncho he typically wears
A Cowboy Hat
Additionally, James also has several small safe houses owned under a variety of false aliases scattered across the galaxy. They're nothing much, just hotel rooms or hidden compartments with a small amount of supplies and easy access to an escape route. He uses these to lie low for short periods of time should he be in trouble with the local authorities or in other kinds of danger. Most of the time, he either makes certain to either operate within reasonable reach of a safe area or takes the time to establish one before doing anything crazy.
SHIP:
None, for now :)
ROLE-PLAYS:
None.
