NAME: Kraan

SPECIES: Wookiee

AGE: 123

GENDER: Male

HEIGHT: 2.1 meters

WEIGHT: 220lbs

HAIR/SKIN: Black

CREDITS: 1000

DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Streak of red fur going down Kraans back

DOMINANT HAND: Right

FORCE SENSITIVE: No
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
HISTORY: A fighter, Kraan has had to experience battle at its full. At the age of about 50 Kraan fell into a part of the Kashyyk known as the Shadowlands, when he was racing his friends on the treetops above. There he wandered for many weeks, fending off many dangerous creatures, man-eating plants and other various terrors. He eventually escaped the clutches of the Shadowlands and his actions had been noticed by the Wookie Council. He was to be trained into a Wookiee Berserker, a warrior who defends themselves and their planet through sheer rage and brutality, he went through rigourous training and practised with many weapons (his favourite of which being the bladed tonfas) and once again went through the Shadowlands as a final step into his path into becoming a true warrior. Once his training had been completed Kraan was now an official berserker and one of the youngest at that. It wasn't until later that Kraan came to the atention of what had been called 'The Alsakan Crisis', although his family, friends and even the Wookiee Council pleaded with him to stay and guard his homeworld, but he refused and immigrated to the world of Alsakan to have his first taste of war.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
STRENGTH: Kraan has been trained in the ways of the Wookiee Berserker making him a worthy combatant and since his fall into the Shadowlands he has learnt how to use hand-to-hand combat, his wits and primal instinct to navigate through danger. 8/10

DEXTERITY: Kraan although strong and bulky is reasonably fast for a Wookie of his size and stature, his reactions are well trained and his speed flexibilty has been tested through treetop races. 7/10

CONSTITUTION: A healthy Wookiee, Kraan has had his fare share of poisons on Kashyyk both plant and animal giving him certain immunities. 6/10

INTELLIGENCE: When it comes to general knowledge about the galaxy Kraan can only give standard information about the subject. But when it comes to military subjects Kraan can show some insight and tips. 7/10

WISDOM: As a Wookie, Kraan uses his gut instinct in most situations, this however can lead him into dangerous situations. 5/10

CHARISMA: Although a menacing opponent in battle, Kraan has shown a more friendly side in more social environments such as cantinas. He shows interest in others stories and opinions which has allowed him to make many friends. 8/10
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
FORCE POWERS: None

SKILLS: Kraan has skill in both melee and ranged weaponry. He knows only minor demolitions skills such as how to deploy mines and such. His ability to open doors is unusual as he will no doubt try and knock them down.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES: Kraan’s strength lies within his ambition to survive and to make sure the jobs done. When trained as a berserker Kraan learnt how to let go of other feelings and focus on anger, this makes him strong in battle but unaware of what is foe and what is friendly. His instinct can get him into trouble easily.

GEAR: Combat Belt, Boltcaster, Bladed Tonfas (x2), Frag Grenade and a Blaster Pistol

SHIP: None

PETS: None

PERSONALITY: Whilst in social situations and places, Kraan can show a large amount of empathy for friends and has been known to get them out of rough situations. In combat arenas (a favourite 'sport' of Kraan) he has been known to roar for hours on end for his side. In combat Kraan turns into a ruthless beast of immense strength and determination, using all his knowledge to slaughter and survive. Overrall Kraan is a friendly character, unless angered.

KILLS: None
DUELING RANK MATCHES: None
GRAND TOURNAMENT MATCHES: None
ROLE-PLAYS: None

when you write 'crossbow', do you mean bolt caster? The crossbow-laser combo of awsomeness that Chewbacca used?

I would die from laughing.

Me-Put your hands where I can see them! We got blasters that can shoot a bolt of compacted, burning heat through your body and cook your f-ing flesh!

Them-I have a wooden weapon that can shoot a stick with a metal point at you, but God help me if I miss. Just give me a minute or two to reload, k'?

See at least Lavi is smart to think about it, so are Boltcasters allowed?

Fact: The Kraan joke was one of the first things I thought about after finishing him

Why are there swords in KotOR?

Those were Vibro weapons, and they are the next best hand weapons when facing a lightsaber wielding foe. They can stand up to lightsabers for a considerable amount of time.

No, there are both swords and vibroswords in KotOR. I played both KotOR 1 and 2.

The original purpose of the vibro blades and all metallic blades in the Kotor series is to combat the wide spread use of personal energy shields which in effect rendered blasters useless. Which still strikes me as silly seeing how a quick burst of ion energy does just as well.

And, correct me if I am wrong but a Wookie Bowcaster is just a crossbow that shoots metallic arrows charged with energy.

Essentially, but we're talking about the more primitive crossbow.

Indeed, or did he just forget the name of the Bowcaster? Because as mentioned previously it makes little sense. And I'd just like to connect briefly your rhetorical question about swords to my previous post placing reason on the blades and leaving doubt for the crossbow.


My line of thinking says he means bowcaster and just had a mind-lapse in the actual name of the weapon but then here you are placing confusion in the midst of ....

Dude what are you on about? :CDumb:

If swords were still existent during KotOR, and this timeline takes place before KotOR, that would mean that swords were in greater use in this time, due to technology. From there, it would be safe to assume that crossbows are at least in the decline, as blaster technology is relatively new, according to the thread describing tech.

Why use a crossbow when you can use a gun? If you are to be believed, the tech now is on par with modern era, minus space travel.
