NAME: Z’Flerrigan “Flerr” Rancorian
ALIASES: Scion
FACTION: Galactic Shockball League
RANK: Player
SPECIES: Kalleran
AGE: 21
GENDER: Male
FORCE SENSITIVE: No
APPEARANCE:
Flerr could be described as attractive to other Kallerans, but to other humanoid species his fishlike features could be too odd. Most of his attractiveness however comes from his build. He is no bodybuilder, but it’s obvious he is an athlete and has worked on every muscle group and maintained himself in peak physical condition. His skin is green like most of his species and has blue eyes, a rare trait in Kallerans. His right arm has several tattoos of tally marks, one for each shockball victory. On his left arm is an intricate sleeve of artwork with imagery akin to shadows, blood and mass graves
ATTRIBUTES:
As a professional athlete Flerr is very healthy and fit, able to sprint, jump, climb and throw better than most as his career depends on those abilities. He can also swim at a faster rate than humans can as Kallerans are a fish like species. He is also his father’s son so while he may not use his charisma to be a womanizer like his old man he can turn on the charm if need be. He is also a decent artist, most notably with tattoos. However, Flerr is very self loathing by nature and has only gotten worse over time, now suffering from depression. He is extremely pessimistic when he’s alone and speaks with malice when interacting with the wealthy people he doesn’t need to kiss up to. This often gets him into trouble if he ends up needing those he offended previously. Finally, he is a horrible leader in every sense of the word and avoids any form of responsibility outside of his own self.
PERSONALITY:
Flerr is hard working, but perhaps for the wrong reasons. He loves his family and would do anything for them. However he doesn’t let anyone else into his “family” due to his own self depreciation. Instead he gravitated towards toxic friendships and relationships where he is constantly insulted and made out and less than what he is because he feels he deserves it. He is very observant and pays attention to the small details. As an artist at heart he can see beauty in many things, just not himself. Just as he studies the way an opponent moves on the field, he studies how the leaves fall and how the branches sway to think of how he could replicate that in his art. He is also very reckless as since he doesn’t care for his own life he will take unnecessary risks, while some would call it cool, others would call it suicidal.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born in 480 ABC to Alwis-Uin and Jamala Rancorian, Z’Flerrigan was practically born in the ocean. His father was a gluss’sa’nikto and his mother was a Kalleran, both semi-aquatic species. On top of that, he was born on the mostly aquatic planet of Manaan. In his youth the family would take regular swims around the town, strengthening their bond and making Flerr an athletic child. What he was too young to understand at the time was the role his parent shad played on the galactic stage: they were a part of the Galactic Shockball League.
His father was a famous shockball player who was famous for his speed across the field. He broke the record for the fastest knockout in a game, getting a direct hit on an enemy player in the first three seconds. He was also a player skilled enough to obtain the SuperShock, knocking out the entire enemy team within a minute. His mother was the offensive coordinator of his father’s team, and helped coach him to the level of skill he became famous for. The highlight of their careers was when they played a major part in taking their team to the GSL Championship and winning the title of Galactic Champions. Not long after, the 20 year old Alwis-Uin proposed to the 30 year old and they were married. After five years and another championship title along the way, Jamala became pregnant and they both retired to raise their son.
The team they worked for were the Manaan Arbiters, so they both already lived on the planet and thus it became Flerr’s homeworld. What to him were just fun games he played with his parents, to them were drills and exercises meant to develop his skills. Without his knowing, they were grooming him for professional shockball. As they taught him how to read and write they taught him the rules of the sport. As he learned mathematics and science he learned the basic tactics used in the sport. For many of his formative years he would eat, sleep and breath shockball. His parent thought he would be a shoo-in for the professional league and that he’d be a future hall of famer in due time. But all those dreams were put in jeopardy come his teen years.
At around age 15, Flerr began developing a crush on a classmate, a young Twi’Lek girl his age by the name of Loona. She was an aspiring muralist who showed him her room with walls filled with paintings all across them. They began dating and she started teaching him how to sketch and paint. This terrified his parents as he began missing practices and neglecting his exercises. A girl they could handle, they just had to teach him some discipline and it could’ve been a healthy relationship. But in art he had found a new passion, and a passion that was more his own than shockball was. He got a free ride to a higher education, but barely. His skill had diminished significantly by age 18 and it was around this time that the tabloids began popping up.
The ruthless journalists that often covered stories in and around the GSL showed no mercy in covering the family struggles. They mocked the family for producing what seemed to be a huge failure. They spread rumors of Loona being unfaithful, being a lady of the night, being a gold digger and more. They portrayed Flerr’s parents as extremists and implied that they were doing the same to the children of others in secret. This wreaked havoc on the family, most of all for Flerr. He felt like he really was a failure to his family and felt bad for his parents. Loona broke up with him following the drama, not wanting all the negative attention she had gotten. With Loona gone and pressure mounted by the public eye, Flerr rededicated himself to shockball.
Ever since then he’s felt that pressure consistently on his performance and become overly critical of himself. Separated from his family and friends and living with teammates that judge him endlessly and with no real loving connection he fell into depression. It was at this time that he learned how to tattoo from his tattoo artist roommate and collaborated on the sleeve on his left arm. By the end of his run in the JSF he had regained some form of consistency to his play and let his sketching fall by the wayside. Though he wasn’t anyone’s first choice, he did negotiate with the Arbiters and signed a five year contract with them at age 20 during the Draw. Over the course of the year he’s settled into the team’s headquarters. He was assigned a personal droid trainer he nicknames Scrimms. However, they have yet to play him in a game, and he has recently discovered a place he can practice and enjoy the sport away from prying eyes under the name Scion: the underground.
SKILLS:
Flerr is a skilled Shockball player, more specifically he specializes in being a finisher, essentially the player other pass the ball to at the last second to try and get a surprise hit. He’s also a competent artist who has experience in sketching, painting and and tattooing, the third of which he’s been most successful with. He is also skilled at mingling with higher ups and ensuring he doesn’t step in the wrong toes, though his ability to foresee someone’s importance is inconsistent in this regard.
GEAR:
While in the GSL he has team provided equipment, when en route to an underground match he has his own set of shockball equipment given to him by his father which is functionally and aesthetically the same as what he uses in professional play, only with no logo or serial number. He also owns a portable tattoo kit he sometimes uses during parties and other gatherings, and it makes a great consequence for dares and gambles. He also owns a plain place mask shaped to fit his Kalleran face and hide his identity while playing in the underground. He also has a pocket sized notebook that has some of Loona’s doodles inside as a keepsake.
ROLE-PLAYS:
(TBD)
DROIDS:
As part of becoming a player for the Manaan Arbiters Flerr was assigned a scrimmage droid who would help him practice even when technically alone. The droid, which he lazily dubbed “Scrimms” has the personality of a cheesy workout instructor and is constsntly trying to motivate his master to be better, albeit with corny and cliche lines. He has no combat or even negotiation purposes as he is meant to solely help keep Flerr in fighting form. When in the underground, Flerr let’s him express himself more, letting the droid wear a fake mustache, Afro, headband, armbands and leg warmers.
