NAME: Sel Tavis
KNOWN ALIASES: Fyorr Derillian, Teth P. Mesourn
FACTION: Independent
RANK: None
SPECIES: Umbaran
AGE: 29
GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 5’9’’
WEIGHT: 161
EYES: White irises with black pupils
HAIR: Whitish blond
SKIN: Ethereally pale
CREDITS: 1,000 credits
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Racially occurring blue eye-shadow-like marks
DOMINATE HAND: Right
FORCE SENSITIVE: Barely

STRENGTH: Sel is not one for physical engagements. (4/10)
DEXTERITY: Though not particularly athletic, Sel certainly has the coordination required when handling a blaster. (6/10)
CONSTITUTION: He’s a bit frail. (4/10)
INTELLIGENCE: Sel is a genius, pure and simple. (9/10)
WISDOM: Although manipulative, Sel is powered obsessively by cold anger, and he simply doesn’t care that his actions are hurting the galaxy. (5/10)
CHARISMA: Among all of the species yet discovered in the galaxy, the Umbarans are the most persuasive. And one of the most persuasive Umbarans in the galaxy is Sel Tavis. Be afraid. (10/10)

FORCE POWERS:
Force Cloak
Mind Trick
Precognition

SKILLS:
Persuasive – Sel’s biggest strength lies in getting people from all walks of life to see things his way.
Manipulative – Not only can Sel get people to see his way, he can get them to inadvertently do his bidding.

LIGHTSABER/SWORD FORMS:
Does running and hiding count?

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Sel is most at home speaking, be it to a person or in front of a crowd. All they need is a touch of clever monologue, and they’ll be eating out of his hand.
When confronted with a physical challenge, however, Sel is sadly under-qualified. Although he has been trained in how to use his blaster, he has a tough time competing with those who have devoted their life to the business.

GEAR:
Clothes
--Shadowcloak – a traditional Umbaran garment
--Utility belt – trusty ol’ thing
----Datapad – planner and journal
--Cavalry boots – they look nice on him!
Weapons
--Heavy blaster pistol – just in case
--Hold-out blaster – just in case his just in case doesn’t work out

SHIP:
Sel owns a shiny new personal transport, called the Expedite.

PETS:
The closest thing to a pet he owns is a hulking guard droid, designated G-310.

PERSONALITY:
Fyorr never forgets. Not only that, but he holds grudges. If you take a brilliant and cunning megalomaniac, give him a near-perfect memory, Force-assisted mind control powers, and give him a habit of putting those who get into his way into the streets – or worse, you get trouble. But that’s exactly what Sel is. In a conversation, he seems perfectly normal. But you’ll have to watch him – he is almost certainly trying to manipulate you.

HISTORY:
Sel Tavis was born as a rich, young nobleman of the Ghost Nebula. As a boy of culture, Sel was exposed to everything – fine arts and education, along with the finest luxuries the galaxy has to offer. And although he had seen the galaxy through the viewports of all the finest luxury yachts by the age of 16, Sel was bored. He was bored with what he’d seen in the galaxy, and he needed more; he adapted an alter ego – Fyorr Derillian. Under this pseudonym, he used his fantastic wealth to open up a small enterprise, without his parents knowing. This “enterprise” (which was, by the way, highly illegal), was Sel’s first step into the world of crime.

But his escapades couldn’t last forever. The inevitable transpired; Sel was exposed. Stripped of his nobility, his burgeoning crime syndicate’s members sent to prison, and himself hounded by the law, Sel did the only logical thing to do: He fled. He would never stay on the same planet for too long. One week he’d be hiding in the underbelly of Coruscant, the next, somewhere in Corellia. This continued for years.

But one day, a 25-year old Umbaran man named Teth P. Mesourn showed up with a less-than-genuine college degree to the Arc Corporation, and quickly worked his way up the ranks. But little did his superiors know, Teth P. Mesourn was a pseudonym. Not only that, but it was an anagram. Unscrambled, this name spelled “serpent mouth”. For this man was none other than Sel, changed by his years of hardship, ready to take the fight to the rest of the galaxy.

I dont think people have personal droids in this timeline. You may need to check that.

You would have nothing to fear from him, as you are not his enemy...

It's not that, upo's characters need fear none. It's the fact that Kupo personally oversees who is part of ARC. If he gives no approval, you don't join. You can't simply say you joined.

Alright, if my approval is denied, I'll un-join.

Well, to be brutally, honest, I think Arc would see through a fake college certificate... We are the galaxies number one corporation...

But I'm curious as to your exact intentions... If you don't mind having to unveil your story, you can PM me with your plans.. or failing that a slightly less vague idea.

I'm definitely not saying no, quite the opposite, but I do want to know if your going to internally butt**** one of my proudest achievements in the RP.

I'm inclined to disagree, but that's another story for another time.

All I can say is that Sel is still is fairly wealthy, and he can afford the creme de la creme of criminals and forgers. And he knows enough of the subjects in question that it would be no different knowledge-wise if his college degree would be genuine.

All he wants out of Arc corporation is a high-tier job with benefits... maybe a cybernetic arm, in the *ahem* completely unforseen event of his forceful seperation with his old one.

Cough And also to steal a prototype assassin droid cough.

But seriously, the biggest reason he wants to join is because he intends to make the war bigger (he is a rabble-rouser), and what company do you join when you want to make a war? A weapons company. Hopefully, not only will he become obscenely powerful, but also RICH.

I'm, seriously disinclined to trust you, but your in. Activity is a good thing, and don't think that your character has carte blanche to **** around with ARC. No-one there is even slightly stupid, and you will be being watched.

Just in case. Otherwise, welcome aboard.

Kupo does have a point...

In any case I thought this said 'Traviss' at first... And was worried.

:CHappy: I have no quarrel with Arc, no desire to sabotage the corporation, no plans to take it over. It's just that war is my stock-and-trade as a rabble rouser. And what's the most profitable business to be in when wars are to be fought?

Weapons!

Have no fear.
