BIOGRAPHY
Karlo was born on Tatooine to a poor mother and father of 7 boys (now 8). The parents were completely incapable of feeding the new boy, so they sold him to a local slaver known as Reeno for a few credits. Karlo grew up following the old slaver around as an assistant, being beaten mercilessly for even the slightest mistakes. Though, his slave life wasn't all bad. He was taught to read, write, and speak numerous languages from across the galaxy as he was being taught to be the Reeno's permanent financial advisor. Karlo's mentor was a vengeful old man named Ben, who was the slaver's current financial consultant.
Ben was 80 years old and had been a slave to Reeno's family for two generations. Ben had always wanted revenge against his captors, but he had never been able to craft a probable plan, that is, until Karlo showed up. Ben saw the new boy as his final chance at long-awaited revenge, and so began Karlo's training.
Ben tutored the young Karlo in the necessary academic fields relevant to accounting while Reeno was around, but when the master was away, he would teach Karlo to run businesses and handle negotiations himself. He also taught the boy to fight with small guns as they would be necessary when doing business in the future. These lessons would serve the boy well. On Karlo's 15th birthday, Karlo and Ben made their move. After running hidden background businesses, they'd gotten enough guns to arm themselves and the other slaves and rise against their master.
The revolution was swift and successful. Within minutes, Reeno's mercs were dead and the master was captured. Karlo, now being the business minded man he was, then took the opportunity to trick the other slaves into disarmament and then recaptured them all, Ben included. From then on, he was the boss...and he loved it. He made tons of money, gave the orders, and best of all, he'd overcome those who'd tried to manipulate him.
From this, Karlo learned that life is all about manipulation. Those who wish to be the masters of society must control those below him, physically, mentally, or financially, and thats what Karlo did. He bought, sold, and recaptured his slaves for years, making himself a tiny fortune, but it wasn't enough. He was still just a petty crook in the eyes of galactic society, and so, he expanded his business. With Ben's guidance, he got into the intergalactic drug trafficing market, further boosting his modest wealth and control over others. He was still unsatisfied.
Longing for even more wealth and notoriety, he began doing contracts himself, rather than organizing and collecting from jobs his "employees" completed. He became a skilled merc and bounty hunter, and an even greater pirate. This new lifestyle excited him and further boosted his savings, but it soon came crashing down. A Hutt caught wind of his operations within her territory and she sent mercenaries to his villa on Alderaan to put him down, permanently. Karlo fought his way out of the attack, but Ben, his mercenaries, and his remaining slaves were all slaughtered. He'd also lost his left arm to a well-placed blaster bolt during the shoot out.
Karlo, now 25, was once again at the bottom of the underworld's food-chain, but he was still driven to get to the top. He began operating again in a new area, and this time with friends. He joined up with the Dead Drop Pact and restarted his slaver and drug-dealing businesses. Once he'd made enough money to get his arm replaced, he joined them in their pirate raids too. Along the way, he ran into a beautiful slave girl named Sharaad; a zabrak who'd serve him as a body guard and close friend after he'd purchased her. He was on his way up again, and this time, NO ONE WAS GOING STOP HIM.
PERSONALITY AND TRAITS
Karlo Daal is a level headed, cold hearted businessman whom cares for money and personal freedom above all else. His primary business ventures are drug dealing and slaving and yet, he sleeps like a baby every night. He isn't aggravated easily as the only things he cares about are money and his favorite slave: Sharaad. He is very well organized, connected, and trained for his dangerous life style, and as such, he doesn't get scared...ever. He enjoys toying with people and making easy paydays and goes out of his way to do both. He also hates arrogant fools that believe themselves to be above him.
Karlo also doubles as a pirate/assassin/merc when he needs to make extra money.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Sniper
Hunting down slaves and bounty targets made him a good shot at a distance.
Gunslinger
His private training with Ben made him a crack shot with blaster pistols.
Close quarters combat
He learned to fight with his hands after becoming boss as physical beatings were often the best method of keeping subordinates in line.
Stealth
Learned how to sneak around during his own slave days.
Business Organization
He is a great business man with many connections and has great organizational skills like logistics, fundraising, and operational management.
ROLEPLAYS
Will be posted here.
GEAR
Desert Smuggler's clothes.
This is the MSR-001 (by @Tsunami) As Karlo's rifle of choice, Its got 55 confirmed kills whose victims range from politicians to slaves. With four shots per mag, superb range, and armor piercing capability, this weapon is every assassin's dream.
x2 MHBP-001 blaster pistols (by @Tsunami). Karlo's favorite. These widely illegal heavy blaster pistols have a decent range of 55 meters and a 12 bolt magazine, making them the perfect side arm for ner-do-wells.
He also carries a utility belt with extra ammo and an assortment of grenades ranging from thermal detonators to simple flash bombs.
He carries around this vibroblade mostly for intimidation purposes but sometimes for fist fights.
