Almec Farstar​

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Almec Farstar is a towering figure with a heavy muscular build, evidence of a life devoted to Strongman, Boxing, and a few violent close calls. His face is rugged and weathered, with a square jawline covered in a short, scruffy beard. His piercing blue eyes have a fierce but mischievous glint, and a faint scar runs diagonally across his right eyebrow, hinting at a past skirmish. Almec's skin has a sun-worn, slightly tanned complexion, adding to his seasoned appearance.

His outfit consists of a cream-colored, snug-fitting shirt under a black leather vest adorned with pockets and compartments, hinting at a life of constant readiness. The shirt's sleeves are slightly rolled up, revealing forearms marked with subtle scars and faint tattoos, likely remnants of a rough past. His Nerf leather gunbelt is equipped with pouches and a holster carrying a hefty blaster, but Almec's belt shows extra modifications—additional loops and tools he's picked up along the way. Almec also holds a small vibroblade strapped to his thigh—backup for when things get close.

The pants are navy blue with a distinctive Corellian yellow bloodstripe running down each leg, symbolizing bravery, but Almec's version has faint scorch marks and stitching, showing signs of repair from countless scrapes. His boots are tall, sturdy, and heavily worn, a practical choice for all terrains, bearing the scratches and scrapes of a true spacer. Almec's expression often shifts between a steely focus and a roguish smirk, giving him a charismatic edge that masks a potentially dangerous nature.

PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Almec Farstar is a complex mix of charm, cunning, and grit, shaped by a life of hardship and high-stakes dealings in the galaxy's gray areas. Beneath his rugged exterior, Almec has a surprisingly sharp wit and dry humor, often disarming those around him with a quick, sarcastic remark. His charm is natural but guarded, and he rarely allows others to see beyond his calm, calculating facade.

A man of few words, Almec prefers action over talk, and his loyalty is hard-earned. Like most Corellians, Almec is fiercely independent and mistrustful of authority, holding a grudge against those who use power to exploit others. Deep down, he has a rough code of honor, which shows in small, quiet ways—like ensuring no innocent bystanders get hurt or choosing to risk his life for a friend in a pinch. He may not admit it, but he has a soft spot for the underdogs and, in rare moments, helps out others who remind him of his younger self.

While Almec may come off as cold or ruthless, he's not heartless; he's just learned that caring too much is a liability. He doesn't back down from a fight, often tackling danger head-on, relying on his physical strength and quick reflexes. Above all, Almec values his freedom and despises being tied down or told what to do. To him, every relationship and job is temporary—a survival mechanism in a galaxy where betrayal is always around the corner.

At his core, Almec is a survivor and a realist, but one who carries a glimmer of hope, even if he'd never admit it out loud.

STRENGTHS
Almec Farstar's character strengths lie in his resilience, loyalty, adaptability, cunning, and a hidden sense of honor. These strengths make Almec both a formidable ally and a principled individual, creating a unique balance of rough edges and integrity that makes him well-suited to survive—and thrive—in this chaotic universe:

1. Resilience: Almec has endured a hard life of constant danger and loss, which has given him incredible mental and physical resilience. Whether it's surviving battles, enduring betrayals, or navigating the darkest corners of the galaxy, he pushes through, no matter the odds.
2. Loyalty (to the Few He Trusts): Though he's mistrustful by nature, Almec's loyalty runs deep for the few who've proven themselves to him. He would risk everything for those he considers close—an unbreakable commitment to protect and defend them.
3. Adaptability: Living on the fringes of legality requires quick thinking and flexibility. Almec is a master at reading situations and adapting on the fly. This trait makes him a resourceful ally who can make the best of any situation and turn setbacks into opportunities.
4. Cunning and Strategic Thinking: Almec's intellect shines in his tactical approach to problems. He can read people well, anticipate moves, and come up with clever solutions—qualities essential to his survival as a smuggler. He often uses his cunning to outmaneuver opponents rather than relying on brute force alone.
5. A Code of Honor: Despite his rough exterior, Almec has a moral compass that he quietly follows. He refrains from harming the innocent and despises cruelty, and when pushed to make a hard choice, he'll lean toward the option that aligns with his underlying sense of justice.
6. Bravery: Almec is unafraid to face danger, whether to defend a friend or secure his freedom. His courage borders on fearlessness, and he'll often put himself in harm's way if it means protecting someone he cares about or fighting for his beliefs.
7. Physical Strength: Almec Farstar's physical strength is formidable, setting him apart from the average human and giving him an intimidating presence. With his tall, muscular build, he's capable of overpowering most opponents in hand-to-hand combat, his strength evident in the sheer size of his shoulders and arms. Years of Strongman competitions, boxing, loading cargo, scrapping in rough brawls, and lifting heavy equipment have given him not just raw power but also the stamina to sustain it. He can lift and carry hefty crates, weapons, or even injured companions with ease. In a fight, Almec's strength is his greatest advantage; he can deliver bone-crushing punches, lift opponents off their feet, or withstand hits that would knock others out cold. His grip strength alone is powerful, able to restrain an opponent with just one hand or hold on to the ledge of a starship hull in a high-speed chase.

WEAKNESSES
Almec Farstar's weaknesses are rooted in his past and his survival-first mindset, which make him an intriguing but flawed man. These weaknesses create a person who, while strong and capable, is held back by his own inner walls, past wounds, and a fear of being hurt again:

1. Trust Issues: Almec's mistrust of others runs deep, causing him to question even the most loyal allies. He's been betrayed too many times, so he tends to keep people at arm's length. This often isolates him, preventing him from forming meaningful connections that could bring stability and loyalty into his life.
2. Stubbornness: Almec is fiercely independent and doesn't take orders well, which can lead to unnecessary conflicts and missed opportunities. He's reluctant to compromise or take advice, often believing he knows best. This can be a liability when teamwork or flexibility is crucial, sometimes putting himself and others at risk.
3. Hidden Soft Spot: Despite his rugged exterior, Almec has a soft spot for underdogs or those in tough situations that remind him of his own struggles. This weakness makes him vulnerable to manipulation by those who play on his empathy, as he occasionally helps others even when it's unwise or puts him in danger.
4. Recklessness: Almec has a tendency to dive headfirst into risky situations, especially when his pride is on the line or when he's trying to protect someone. His willingness to face danger is admirable but often borders on foolhardy, leading him into situations where his physical strength can't necessarily save him.
5. Difficulty Letting Go of Grudges: Almec doesn't easily forgive and is prone to holding onto grudges. Betrayals or perceived slights are something he doesn't let go of quickly, and he'll go out of his way to settle scores. This vengeful streak can cloud his judgment, leading him to make choices that serve revenge over reason.
6. Struggles with Vulnerability: Almec views vulnerability as a weakness and rarely lets anyone see his true self, which leaves him emotionally closed off. This inability to open up makes it difficult for others to get close to him, which perpetuates his isolation and deepens his distrust of others.

HISTORY
Almec Farstar's life has been one of resilience, ambition, and reinvention. It started with his tough beginnings on Corellia and led him through military service before the lure of freedom and profit brought him to smuggling.

Early Life on Corellia: Almec was born into a working-class family in the gritty outskirts of Coronet City, Corellia. Growing up, he was immersed in the rough-and-tumble culture of Corellia's streets, learning from a young age to fend for himself and protect those he cared about. His imposing size and strength became apparent in his teenage years, and he quickly earned a reputation for being the kind of person you didn't want to mess with. As a young adult, Almec's natural strength led him to compete in Corellia's strongman circuit, where he earned fame as a two-time champion of the Corellia Strongman Competition. His reputation as one of the strongest beings in the sector grew, and he eventually took on a broader challenge, winning the prestigious Galaxy Strongman Competition—a title that still precedes him in the galaxy's underworld.

Service in the Galactic Alliance Navy: Despite his success, Almec yearned for something beyond Corellia and enlisted in the Galactic Alliance Navy. The Navy offered him structure, a higher purpose, and a steady income. Almec excelled in combat training and earned a place in the Alliance's Special Forces, specializing in heavy weaponry and ground assault. His strength made him invaluable in high-intensity missions, and he soon gained a reputation for his bravery, quick thinking, and physical prowess on the battlefield.

Yet, the military's strict chain of command began to wear on Almec. His independent nature and disdain for authority made him question orders, especially when missions put innocents in harm's way or felt politically motivated. His frustration reached a breaking point after a disastrous mission where he believed the Alliance leadership prioritized politics over the lives of his fellow soldiers. Disillusioned, Almec left the Navy and returned to the civilian world with a hardened heart and a desire to forge his own path.

Transition to Smuggling: Life outside the Navy was different. Struggling to find purpose, Almec turned to smuggling, drawn by the freedom and high-stakes nature of the trade. He quickly became known as one of the best, using his combat experience and physical strength to gain respect and power in the galaxy's underworld. He was unafraid to take on dangerous missions, often working alone or with a small, trusted crew. Almec's military experience made him not just a strongman but a highly skilled and tactically savvy operative, capable of handling both violent conflicts and high-stakes negotiations.

Current Day: Now, Almec Farstar is a seasoned smuggler, respected and feared across the galaxy. He's a man who walks the line between lawful and unlawful, carefully balancing his personal code with the ruthlessness required to survive in his world. His reputation as both a former strongman champion and a military veteran has followed him, making him a sought-after but mysterious figure among clients and a dangerous foe for anyone who tries to double-cross him. Almec still carries a quiet, underlying pride in his Corellian roots and often reflects on the days when his life was simpler, though he keeps such thoughts to himself.
