APPEARANCE:

A typical ashen skin and black haired Ubese, Kopecz bears the usual sickly and slight body of his race. As such, both males and females only reach sizes that are on average female in most humanoid races with females even then being a bit shorter. Kopecz is no different. He almost always is seen behind his breathing mask, as it is necessary for him to wear it on type 1 atmosphere worlds.


ATTRIBUTES:

Kopecz, like all in his race, is relatively small and sickly. Also, he is incapable of speaking Basic without his mask, as it provides a rough translation. His hatred toward the Jedi and the Republic will often cloud his better judgement and get him into trouble with the law. His curt language can and has caused numerous misunderstandings, with violent repercussions.


However, he is an intelligent man, and when alone he can often devise elegant solutions when bounty hunting rears its complicated head. Also, his race's reputation proceeds him and intimidation comes surprisingly easily for his small figure. Finally, while he is unaware of it, and would be horrified to realize, the Force does enhance his reflexes and dexterity.


PERSONALITY:

The Ubese people harbor a long simmering hatred toward the other races of the galaxy, and this is also the case for Kopecz. However, coming from a nomad group of mercenaries, this hatred has been significantly tampered by the need to interact and cooperate with others. As such Kopecz is more willing to work with fellow hunters if doing so allows him to take out his anger on other individuals.

Ubese is a very limited and curt language, lacking tense and much of the nuance of other tongues, and as such Kopecz’s Basic shows these traits as well. He fails to use any but the present tense and limits many sentences to the bare necessities to communicate, often relying on significant context clues. He will very slowly become friendly with those he works with, seeing them as “not like the rest of you.”


BIOGRAPHY:

Kopecz grew up among a nomadic group of mercenaries led by his father. From an early age he was taught to fight and of his people’s tragic history. He was raised to hate the Republic who destroyed his people’s home, and the cowardly Jedi who enforced their tyranny. His company was often hired by rival factions to make lightning strikes against settlements under the guise of simple bandits. His first such raid was on the Nosaurian homeworld of New Plympto. Here he achieved his first kill at age twelve, and took his rival’s pistol as a trophy. Further raids sent the crew rimward and included Corfai, Manaan, Shili, Ord Mantel, Mygeeto, Saleucami and finally Sernpidal. A Free Worlds fleet from the Corellian Sector that had pursued the company since Corfai finally cornered them at their at the edge of the Rim and a fierce battle occurred on the world. The Ubese emerged victorious but their power and numbers had been broken.

The survivors prepared to return to Uba IV to restore their numbers and tech, however many decided to split off from the group and make their own way. Kopecz, now just over the age of twenty was among them. Around this time a bounty had come out on Jedi, and he intended to be among those who brought them down. With his father’s blessing he departed to pursue a life away from the family. He then set out across the stars to go about his new vocation and hopeful honor his people by bringing those cruel and cowardly wizards to heel, and by doing so honor a famous ancestor who participated in the Great Purge.


SKILLS:

  • Multilingual: Ubese, Ubeninal, Basic (poorly)
  • Marksmanship: Kopecz is a talented shot, often taking the time to line up his shots from a distance, using his slugthrower’s extreme range to remain hidden while doing so.
  • Melee Combat: Kopecz, despite his relatively small stature has trained well in the melee arts. His size begins to put him at a greater disadvantage in a brawl, and hence he carries a small vibroblade for such encounters. Being Force sensitive helps too.
  • Pilot: Kopecz is a talented pilot, and his Force sensitivity is definitely part of the reason why.
  • Mechanic: Kopecz is a passable mechanic, likely able to repair his ship if necessary, but only enough to fly it to a more competent one.

GEAR:

  • Cycler Rifle: Still a common weapon on radiation blasted Uba IV, most of his father’s company still carry these seemingly barbaric rifles into combat. While it carries few shots, cyclers still have among the longest range of any gun.
  • SE-45 Blaster Pistol: A significantly more modern blaster for his sidearm, Kopecz prides himself on this weapon. Taken from his first kill, at only 12, during a raid on New Plympto his crew was hired for, he maintains it immaculately, and often keeps it on his person , concealed under his cape.
  • Vibroknife: A simple bolo knife, Kopecz keeps this concealed on him at all times. His small stature and slight frame put him at a severe brawling disadvantage, and as such he will gladly “fight dirty” and stick an opponent with it at close range. Not to mention the fact that a knife can come in handy in more situations than combat.
  • StarX “Yellow Box” Emergency Vehicle Repair Kit
  • Personav
  • DTX-1977 Informaster Datapad


SHIP:

Witch of Corfai: A Blackfin-class Blastboat gifted to him by his family upon his parting at Sernpidal. It was captured from the Corellians in the battle and is seemingly designed well for its planned role. A brief stop over on Uba IV changed its atmospheric systems to a breathable form, and the prisoner hold was equipped with breathing masks to keep them alive inside. This has the added bonus of preventing any easy method of escape as they must remain on their tubes to breathe. He also has a few portable ones in case he must suffer having a non Ubese ally aboard.

DROIDS:

R3-G9: An old R3 unit that served in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. It has seen its fair share of battles and has a uniquely reserved temperament. It came with the ship, and Kopecz initially planned on wiping it, especially due to its service under the hated Old Republic, but something stopped him. He rationalized this mercy as desiring to preserve the extensive experience in its memory banks, but in reality it is a connection of sorts to his ancestor who served in the Great Purge. He trusts the droid and the two now have a quiet but reliable bond.

Y-345: A ZDT-345 protocol droid owned by Kopecz. He often uses her to translate his Ubese speech, as he finds the complexity of Basic exhausting. He does however despise her "attractive feminine" programming as irritating and wipes her frequently in hopes of removing it from her to no avail. He sees her much more as a complex tool than a companion, and when not needed she is often kept in the hold within his his ship, deactivated.

Profile looks fine.

But I will have to ask for the lightsaber to be removed. I'm okay with indie starting out if they have good reasons. But 'inheritance' in case I'm not comfortable with approving. You can do a couple or so normal threads to get one though. (Finding the lost lightsaber or something)

likely able to repair his X-Wing if necessary

But there is a different ship listed down below /thinking
