Chitsah
The Scarlet Viper
The Scarlet Viper
FACTION: None
RANK: None
SPECIES: Togruta
AGE: 27
GENDER: Female
HEIGHT: 5'8", excluding montrals
WEIGHT: 156 lbs
EYES: Bright green
SKIN: Scarlet
CREDITS: 1000
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Various white markings from her natural colouration.
FORCE SENSITIVE: She's never bothered to find out
STRENGTH: She's incredibly strong for a woman of her size. She's got a slender, supple form, but it's all muscle.
DEXTERITY: Chitsah forgoes armour and other protection almost entirely, relying solely on not getting hit. It's enough for her.
CONSTITUTION: While maybe not necessarily able to take many more blows than an average person, she's got great stamina, and she's conditioned herself extensively to resist various toxins.
INTELLIGENCE: She's sharp and cunning, and has more than a few tricks she's picked up during her career, but has never had much in the way of formal education.
WISDOM: She thinks she's experienced everything the galaxy has to offer, but that's far from the case. However, she's aware of her own strengths and weaknesses, and has never been afraid to withdraw from a scuffle when it appeared she was at a disadvantage.
CHARISMA: Chitsah is not above using sex appeal to get what she wants. However, she doesn't particularly care about winning friends or inspiring others to courage.
SKILLS:
Few people know quite as much about poisons as Chitsah. Drugs, venoms, sedatives... she makes use of all of them in her work. She's a highly skilled hand-to-hand fighter, but prefers to avoid direct conflict by ambushing her enemies. She knows enough about hacking and slicing to get the job done, and has enough survival skills to allow her to forage in urban or wilderness environments for a few days here and there. She's well-versed in the art of pickpocketing, something she picked up at an early age, but it became a whole lot easier once she hit puberty.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
In combat, Chitsah is best either up close or at long range. In a firefight, she just tends to duck and weave until she can either close to melee or retreat. She also rarely plays fair. Just about every weapon she has is modified to be able to carry a dose of whatever poison she desires. Her favorite weapons are a pair of vibroknives that have a small channel drilled into the blade, with a small chamber in the hilt where
GEAR:
Chitsah carries at least half a dozen different toxins on her person at all times, usually of mixed function. She has her two favorite knives belted one on either hip, a slugthrower handgun, and often a compound bow. When she's prepared to take down a target, she'll sometimes even break out her sniper rifle, although she doesn't particularly care for the thing. It's too conspicuous, and while a bow certainly is not a common sight, the Togruta simply passes it off as a hunting tool, which is not far from the truth.
As for utilities, Chitsah often tends to have a lighter, seven meters of rope, and a large canteen of water. Of course, she also nearly always has a pair of binders with her. The restraints are instrumental in her line of work.
SHIP:
Chitsah does have a personal vessel, the Diamondback, although it's quite small. The small cargo hold has been modified so that it acts more as a miniature brig, with two simple holding cells occupying half of it. Her personal quarters have just enough room for a bunk and a workbench, where she modifies and upgrades her gear. The cockpit has one co-pilot's chair to assist with gunnery and shields. The ship is only lightly armed with a single laser cannon, but it's quick and maneuverable.
PERSONALITY:
Life is very much a game for Chitsah. She plays by the rules of the hunt, and few can beat her at her sport, especially when she's so willing to cheat in order to win. She's an ambush predator, skilled in luring prey into her trap, and then striking lightning quick. She's a manipulative woman and a persuasive liar. She also loves to play up the reputation Togruta have for being venomous, and anyone who has walked away from an encounter with her is inclined to believe it. She's also entirely comfortable with the fact that, at times, she can be exceptionally petty and spiteful. If things aren't going her way, she either makes them, or leaves until circumstances are more to her liking.
BIOGRAPHY:
Chitsah grew up an orphan on the streets of Nar Shaddaa, and so a life of crime was really inevitable for her. However, few people take to the criminal life as readily as she did. She survived through her wit, cunning, and adaptability. She was adopted into a prolific gang when she was quite young. In particular, an Echani assassin known to her only as Reaper took her under his wing as a sort of protegé. She was good at getting close to targets without being seen, fitting into small spaces, and she was good at running interference. She would bump into his target, and either deliberately get caught with her hand in the victim's pocket, or incite them to give chase once she had snatched up something of value. It was always a game. With the target distracted, it was easy for Reaper to close to melee and take them out quickly. At her eager insistence, the Echani began teaching the young Togruta how to fight. She took to it like a snake to water. In time, her body became a lethal weapon, and she learned to use knives as an extension of herself. She killed her first man when she was fourteen years old, shoving her blade through the underside of his jaw and into his brain.
Chitsah sometimes brags about the kill, but never discusses it in any great detail. The reality of the matter is that she didn't have much of a taste for it. There was blood everywhere. It wasn't a clean death. When she was seventeen, old enough to start doing things her own way, she challenged her master on a low-value mission, betting him that she could find and neutralize the target before he could. He warned her against pride and arrogance, but was secretly interested in testing his acolyte. They struck out at the same time, each taking separate paths. He was surprised to find the target some hours later, cuffed and groggy and looking a little worse for ware, but taken alive. Meanwhile, Chitsah was nearby pilfering the man's finest possessions. She had incapacitated the target by coating her knives in a potent sedative she'd lifted from a clinic several days earlier.
She began taking her own bounty hunting contracts for her gang after that. When she scored her first off-world contract, she was given her ship as a gift. It was a beat up and well used old thing, but it has served her well over the years. It ruffled some feathers when she struck out on her own, accepting contracts from other sources, but Chitsah has not forgotten her family on Nar Shaddaa. She always turns down contracts that would be harmful to the gang, and if there's enough money involved, she'll even drag down the sorry sod who posted the bounty in the first place.
