Valok's Extras

[The Captain]

Just a place to put extra items for Valok to remind myself later.​

 

[The Captain]

Valok's Naval Tattoos
Because every spacer needs to be covered in ink
​

• Starbird, upper chest: Less of a symbol and more of a declaration of freedom and independence.

• Shriek Hawk, abdominals: A jai'galaar tattoo shows that the wearer has fought a Mandalorian and lived to tell the tale.

• Jolly Roger, center of upper back: The infamous mark of someone who has captained a pirate ship.

• Turbine, center of lower back: A bit of old spacer superstition, supposedly the turbine will blast you back to the ship if you go overboard.

• Conovers, both shoulder blades: Valok earned his first convor after flying 10,000 km outside of hyperspace, and his second after flying another 10,000. This adds up to over 20,000 km traveled, excluding hyperspace.

• Twi'lek Dancer, right ribs: A sign that Valok has been to the Smuggler's Moon and back without being mugged, maimed, or murdered. An impressive feat.

• Giant Neebray, left ribs: This stylized depiction of a neebray manta is proof that Valok has flown Balmorra Run and lived.

• Rancor Skull, right shoulder: An old pirate tattoo that symbolizes killing someone in melee or unarmed combat without armor or assistance.

• Blazing Claw, left shoulder: The Blazing Claw and its many variations are all signs of a proud pirate.

• Crossed Laser Cannons, right bicep: An indicator of Valok's time serving on a military vessel in a sovereign navy.

• Mynock, left bicep: The mark of a recognized privateer, a sort of letter of marque and reprisal.

• Fireball, top of right forearm: A mark earned for walking away from a starship crash alive and intact.

• Dagger and Rose, top of left forearm: A common naval tattoo meant to symbolize conviction and courage.

• Compass Star, underside of right forearm: A good luck charm that ensure a spacer always finds their way home.

• Compass Rose, underside of left forearm: Another good luck charm to help ensure Valok is never lost on land or in space.

• Dragonsnake, right wrist: Used to show that Valok has set foot on Nal Hutta without being skinned alive.

• Chain, left wrist: This mark is often worn by more criminal spacers to indicate that they have escaped capture, imprisonment, or being held hostage before.
