NAME: Bod Terrow
FACTION: None
RANK: None
SPECIES: Ithorian
AGE: Currently unsure of how Ithorians age; for the time being, let's just say he's the same as a 56-year old human.

GENDER: Male
HEIGHT: 1.7m
WEIGHT: 200
EYES: Black
HAIR: None
SKIN: Beige
CREDITS: 1000
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Bod earned three large scars on his right shoulder after an unfortunate meeting with a kath hound on Dantooine.
DOMINATE HAND: Right
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes

STRENGTH: He isn't the strongest in the galaxy, nor is he the weakest. In the middle, more or less – the most he uses his strength for is heavy lifting; and even there, he isn't always successful.
DEXTERITY: Bod is a slow-mover. He likes to take his time.
CONSTITUTION: Perfectly healthy.
INTELLIGENCE: He's... quite smart. I guess.
WISDOM: Well, uh, his stories are quite.. spectacular... in a way. You'd need his wisdom to really understand them. To most people, they sound bonkers.
CHARISMA: He talks a lot, so yes, his charisma's quite high.

SKILLS:
He has his way with words. Well, mostly to confuse people. Also, along with his native language Ithorese, he can also speak Basic. He's artistic too.

STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES: Unfortunately for Bod, he has more weaknesses than strengths. However, at times, this can bring him good fortune.

Bod has the habit of getting lost in the most peculiar of places (one example: a cave in Dantooine, where he received the kath hound scar). Nevertheless, for one whom was overcome by wanderlust, getting lost could turn a planet into a place of beauty.

He's also clumsy, but that doesn't stop him for exploring every nook and cranny in the known galaxy.

He can be far too trusting of individuals too. Whether this is a strength or weakness depends on the scenario.

GEAR: Despite (like many other Ithorians) being a pacifist, Bod carries a vibrodagger only for self-defense purposes. He tends to wear his favourite dark brown robes, and he usually wears a hefty backpack.

SHIP:[/B] A light-medium transport named “Manollium”, after the species of bird on Ithor.

PETS: None

PERSONALITY:
Bod can be seen as a fairly cheerful and optimistic Ithorian, who – if the day is unpleasant – will be certain that the next day will be fine. Like many Ithorians, he worships the Mother Jungle; therefore, he holds nature as a whole in high regard. This means he isn't a huge fan of places such as Coruscant, since they make him feel nervous and irritable – possibly because of the lack of nature.

Bod is also a pacifist, as mentioned before. On occasion, people see him as a coward because of this, and use this to their advantage; Bod simply shrugs it off and walks away. Despite his clumsiness and proneness to get lost, this Ithorian ventures into the galaxy exuding confidence.

HISTORY:

“Exploration of the galaxy - it reminds me of hide-and-seek, in a way. With exogorths. Big ones.”​

Bod Terrow was born on Ithor on the floating herdship city of Tafanda Bay. Through most of his young life, he could be found “exploring” the herdship, spreading stories that boggled many. His mother was always unsure on where he earned such a lively imagination, sometimes hinting towards his father who, at that time, lived on the jungles below. Bod Terrow would never know his father – you go to the jungle, you live there. You can't come back. This didn't seem to bother Bod too much – he was far too cheerful.

When Bod reached a suitable age, he became fed up with only being able to stare wistfully up at the night sky. This was when his wanderlust really kicked into place; a yearning to explore the known and unknown. Without any second thoughts, Bod left on the next moving herdship; he wouldn't expect to return for a long, long time. His mother did not mind much; in fact, she was rather proud of his decision to explore the galaxy. At least she wouldn't have to put up with his mindboggling storytelling for a time.

He traveled for quite awhile amongst others of his kind, and even helped the restoration effort on Telos momentarily before leaving again. After Telos, he traveled alone. He picked up a few companions, one being a Twi'lek male named Pearson. He was one suspicious fellow while he still lived, and this is what Bod had to say about him:

“I don't think he knew the concept of common sense.”​

Pearson was later accidentally killed by a drunken mercenary on Tatooine. Poor guy. Bod did try to save him, but he was rather late. That drunken mercenary was Bod's first kill. That unfortunate scenario hurt Bod's confidence somewhat, but he shook the shamefulness off. He knew that Pearson – oh, he was a happy-go-lucky guy, one-of-a-kind – wouldn't want that. Bod regained his composure, and returned to his travels. He hasn't had another companion since, but he's always ready to welcome one. Don't worry, he won't ask too many questions. He's far too trusting.

KILLS: A drunken mercenary – oh, PC characters? Nevermind then... eheheh...

DUELING RING MATCHES:
None

GRAND TOURNAMENT MATCHES:
None

ROLE-PLAYS:
None yet. Hopefully soon.

Hopefully it's up to standard. :)

Certainly a candidate for Grey Jedi if he's Force sensitive...

Yes - believe it or not - there are names only three letters long. :)
