▵Biography


Oatu was born in the harsh plains of Iridonia. He was born into a warring clan that was constantly involved in conflicts with adjacent clans. His father was a fearless warrior who was employed by the empire, while his mother worked as a merchant for the clan. During the war, Oatu's father was killed by Jedi in battle. This event caused Oatu to grow a strong hatred against members of the Jedi Order.

All members of the Oatu's clan were required to complete military training so they could be able to protect the village. Oatu had a strong affinity towards combat and was one of the most feared warriors in his clan at a young age.

As Oatu neared maturity, he was forced to complete a rite of passage, which involved him having to kill a warlord of an opposing clan. During the battle, Oatu tapped into the dark side; using his hatred for the Jedi, he murdered the clan leader and brought his severed head back to his village as a trophy. He received his customary facial tattoos, signifying the end of his adolescence.

After reaching maturity, Oatu left the village and began his life as a galactic bounty hunter.

▵Personality

As a child, Oatu was always training to become a warrior and spent little time with the other kids in his village. He was taught only to speak if necessary and to follow orders. His militarian childhood caused him to lack social skills and become a quiet, blunt person.

Once you broke Oatu's hard shell, he was noted to be a friendly person. He often enjoyed discussing futile matters and was quite talkative once you got to know him.

Oatu found it hard to make connections with people and generally had trust-issues with others. He had little interest in ethics and politics and believed them to be useless. One redeeming quality of Oatu was that he was very trustworthy, and he would always stick to his word - an essential trait for a bounty hunter.

Oatu's upbringing in an impoverished village as a result of war had made him a very humble person, and he hated being given compliments.

Oatu was also very gung-ho about things and often gave little thought into the outcomes of his actions. Oatu was very much capable of planning, but he usually got caught in the moment and made rash decisions.

▵Skills and abilities

Combat Expert - Oatu's upbringing as a Zabrak warrior has made him an expert in hand-to-hand combat. He is trained in many forms of martial arts and is an expert in staff and blade combat. Though preferring close-quarters combat, Oatu is an elite marksman who is able to take down his targets from long range.

Inhuman Agility - Oatu's basic understanding of the force and his martial arts training allow him to be an agile fighter.

Force Affinity - Oatu's hate-filled upbringing had given him power in the dark-side and he uses it to complete his bounties.

Death Stare - Oatu's towering stature and muscular build give him a very intimidating look, allowing him to persuade others easily, despite his lack of charisma.

Language - Oatu's experience as a galactic bounty hunter meant that he had visited many parts of the galaxy and had a rudimentary understanding of many languages within the galaxy. He is particularly fluent in Huttese.

At the time when he would be a child, and his father is supposed to have died, the Jedi were in complete hiding and not actively recruiting. Similarly, they wouldn’t just know of his force sensitivity and if faced with hostility they would just leave instead of forcing the issue. If there was potential for conflict then they would have just avoided him altogether, they were in complete hiding and not taking any risks with regards to revealing their presence.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Yeah the Jedi were in hiding until the last 15 years so that needs to be cleared up. And they would not simply 'murder' anyone and would know not to press the issue. That sounds more akin to the Sith play book. There are other reasons you could use however to justify hating the Jedi.

So some other things that need to be addressed.

• If this character is a force sensitive, functions on the armor can not be used.
• You do not simply 'tap' into 'both sides' of the Force. They are pretty mutually exclusive with each other. If you use the dark side you take corruption and thus hampering your ability to use the light.
• Next, there is no way that a character without formal training would be able to be so potent with the force as described as per the note here. He'd be capable of the basics at most, but he wouldn't be on par with a Jedi Padawan or Sith Acolyte in terms of force capabilities however.
• " Oatu's affinity with the force combined with his warrior training has made him impossibly agile and extremely quick."
  • He can be quick, he can be pretty agile. But 'impossibly' and 'extremely' is something you'd have to earn at higher levels.

When you are ready for me to take another look let me know and I'll take another look.

@Faster Than Light I fixed the problems with force abilities, his relationship with the Jedi, and his armor.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Alrighty.

I missed something while reviewing this on mobile initially (x.x)

"Oatu's upbringing in the harsh deserts of Iridonia has shapen his battle-hardened appearance. His force abilities and fearless attitude have made him a formidable and highly respected bounty hunter, completing some of the most daunting bounties. "


So starting characters do have no reputation starting out.

If the reputation is sorted out then this profile is good to be approved ^.^

 

[dumbldaz]

@Faster Than Light Ok, It should be fixed now :)
