You could have met the Trickster once, and you would die having never known it. It might have been in passing, on the street or in the turbolift- no worries there. Or it might have been at a party, on on a business trip. Ooooor you might have married him.You might have looked him in the eye, confided in him, loved him (or hated him and his smug punchable face), shared a drink or a laugh... And then poof. You never see him again. That's the way he likes it, most of the time. He probably just wanted to get your opinion on something meaningless- every being in the Galaxy has a unique insight on something. Or maybe he wanted to plant a seed of rebellion that destabilizes an entire sector, plunging it into war and despair just to see what happens. He does that sometimes.
The Trickster is an oddity among oddities. Contradictory and self serving to some, stalwart and selfless to others, he is man-thing that few know, fewer know well, and fewer still could ever possibly understand. Charismatic and charming to a fault, he is a literal grey man who can be anyone he needs to be at any given time and place. He's the hero this galaxy needs, and the villain it deserves. While most of his kind are isolationist, The Trickster is an avid interventionist in matters great and small, meddling in everything he can get his hands/claws/pincers/assorted-indescribable-extremities on. While he/she often markets his/her services to the highest bidder under a variety of aliases and personas he/she cultivates (even self styled eldricht horrors need a day job), it is just as likely to offer such services for free. The ignorant might think it's all on a whim and flights of fancy, but there's always a plan- probably- it's just that nobody knows what the plan is.
The Trickster is a shapeshifter without known equal- I bet he's standing among one of you at the show, in every street cipher listening to little thugs flow, he could be standing right next to you and you wouldn't know. Humans and humanoids, flora and fauna, short and tall, fat and thin of every color and hue in the visible spectrum- few forms are off limits. Natural telepathy and formidable powers of illusion, influence, and persuasion shore up the physical defenses, covering the chinks in the imagery until you fear even your dearest loved ones in your most intimate moments. If that doesn't work, he could always stab or shoot you- a few hundred years of practice makes one pretty good at that, even if it's terribly without subtlety. You can only get so good with a laser sword or pew-pew though. The really dangerous people are the ones who know things, and so, knowing that, why not endeavor to know all of the things? That's what he does.
The Trickster in his natural form is reclusive to the point of being nearly unseen for decades or centuries at a time. Instead, he lives a variety of elaborate frauds posing as a number of different personas of varying degrees of fame and usefulness. Some days he's a brilliant and sought after painter or actor, others he's a ruthless mercenary-assassin-bounty-killer. Sometimes he's a politician from planet oh-you've-probably-never-heard-of-it. Other days he's just a guy in the park reading a data-pad and watching the pretty girls walk by in the Alderaanian summer time. But mostly, he's just a centuries old exceedingly rare creature with supernatural abilities, just trying to make it in this galaxy and stave off the boredom of ages, one day at a time.
NAME: Maximilius Gabinota
OCCUPATION: Agent / Manager / Publicist
SUMMARY: Maximilius "Max" Gabinota is a dry witted and serious, yet affable negotiator from an upper-middle class family from Bastion, who represents the interests of a several clients of varying fields of art and study- actors, artists, show fighters, etc. Extremely skilled at what he does, Max drives a hard bargain, is meticulous in the details, and is not afraid to use his imposing physical presence to his advantage at the negotiating table. Personally, he's a lover of fine arts, fine food, and fine women, who knows more than a bit about the Imperial Real Estate Market and dabbles in the Galactic Stock Exchange on the side (He made a killing shorting stocks ahead of the recent fall of the Republic). While he is known primarily as a legitimate businessman, occasionally Max is also the face negotiating deals with wealthy and respectable clients for some of the Tricksters less savory gigs.
PEOPLE WHO MET MAX: Talia Al'Saif

NAME: Dreste "Dre" Cometfire
OCCUPATION: Actor / Model / Playboy
SUMMARY: Dre is the guy you want to be when you want to have fun. You may recognize him from such roles as the dashing smuggler from the indie-holo "Galaxy Battles", or his dramatic debut in "The Zeltron Affair". While his dedication to "true art" has kept him off of Coruscants A-List, the master of the holo-screen has developed a bit of a cult following in hipster circles (especially, for some reason, on Rodia- home of his idol @Breezy Breezer) and commonly makes the Core World Illustrated's "Top 1000 Young Entertainers List"- a long way up from his humble Tatooine farm boy origins. Though he is typically highly reclusive, providing only occasional interviews (he attribbutes this to his intense and time consuming method acting process), Mr. Cometfire is sometimes spotted by the paparazzi on Chandrilla engaging in his apparently favorite pastimes of boozing, getting high, and womanizing.
The smash hit "KRASS", the epic bio-drama, in which Dre starred as the late Senator Aren Krass, proved a massive box office success, sweeping the years Galactic Entertainments Awards and bringing Mr Cometfire his first award for "Best Actor in a bio-drama", as well as "Best Vocalist" for the films post-credits musical number. The spot light proved to be a bit much for the reclusive artist however, and Cometfire gradually faded back the voids white noise, away from the public eye, to focus on producing and directing a series of obscure nature documentaries slash musicals. He has not starred in a big-budget production in over four years.
PEOPLE WHO MET DRE: Voren Makr (he's dead, Jim), @Breezy Breezer bby, Lars Warren

NAME: Squeebo
OCCUPATION: Thug / Gun-for-Hire / Bantha Poo-Doo
SUMMARY: Squeebo gets the dirty work done. He's the one that will go into the Hutt's Palace with the Wookie in one hand and a Thermal Detonator in the other. His big buggy eyes are black pits of remorselessness. He has no use for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial Cruiser. He is Squeebo, and there's a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the Galaxy will be looking for you. Too bad Squeebo got there first. Squeebo shoots first, and asks questions never. He's here to kick ass and suck ganja root- and he's all out of ganja root.
Squeebo has become a regular on the Intergalactic Pazaak Circuit, though he still has no major tournament wins under his belt. His persistence is considered admirable, and his luck abysmal.
PEOPLE WHO MET SQUEEBO: Jedan Ridan
[/fancybox2]
NAME: Mikha'el Atin'al
OCCUPATION: Mandalorian War Priest / Amateur Prophet / Death Watch Champion
SUMMARY: Mik is a walking-talking book of wise sayings and sagely advice that's only really good if you're completely out of your mind and have a plethora of guns and ammunition on hand. Long serving as the spiritual guide of the Lords of Har'rangirs Chosen (he's outlasted a number of warlords, mercenary captains, and Mandalore's at this point) and many in the Death Watch, Mikha'el has the distinction of setting into motion a series of events- beginning with the declaration of Prudii Kyramud has Haran'girs Chosen Mandalore- that ultimately led to a total revolution of the Mandalorian people, the fall of the Republic, and the rise of the mighty Mandalorian Dominion. Not a bad bit of work, all things considered.
Not one to rest on his laurels however, Mik has continued his mysterious work in the background of the ever shifting Mandalorian leadership circles. He can often be found skulking in the depths of Haran'gir's fortress, whispering in the ears of mighty leaders, and disappearing for weeks and months on end, only to return unexpectedly with cryptic pronouncements of success and piles of mysterious datapads, holocrons, and other scholarly paraphernalia. He remains a spiritual guide for many, whether they truly believe int he old gods or not.
Mik is a leader who still sometimes takes to field alongside his flock, as the oldest (even if he doesn't look it) and most gifted War Priest in the Dominion. Mik doesn't lead Dominion warriors for nothing. He is a highly regarded fighter specializing in ancient weapons, and is rumored to be more than a match for even the Jetii. And if shooty and stabby things don't work, and he can't crush you with the Force, he could always unleash that luxurious golden mane in your face, which at the very least will rob you of the will to fight him any further.
He's your Knight in shining armor. He's your light in the dark. He is- Mikha'el Atin'al.
PEOPLE WHO MET MIK: Most of Death Watch, Leaders of the Dominion, many former members of the Chosen, Jeyne Merrick, Warlord Kyuss, Darth Solum, + other assorted Sith Leaership
[/fancybox2]
Impersonated:
Senator Aren Krass: Well, sort of. The Trickster (who is played by a dude) played a dude who played Krass in a movie one time. @Prudence
Duke Kalan Ordo: This guy got impersonated so as to record damning evidence against himself, in case the Mandalorian Priest Mikha'el ever needs to blackmail the Director of the Deathwatch. Not sure why @Prudence keeps getting lucky here.
Killed:
Emtarra Garelli - Double teamed by Mikha'el and Pruddi Kyramud trying to rescue the latters former fiance Jedi from a Sith prison.

OOC Note: This character requires a bit of cooperation from the community at large.

None of the information contained in this profile should be considered known unless discovered ICly, and any inappropriate use of it will be reported as meta-gaming. If you have any questions or are unsure about something, please ask!
