STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
+ Melee Weapon Specialist- Apos has an affinity for bladed weapons in general, especially Ulaks. Being a survivor and loner for the last 6 years, Apos knows how to construct daggers and shivs from his enviroment and can expertly wield them. His love for daggers started as a child, and Apos knowledge regarding these particular weapons grew as he did. Apos will never be spotted anywhere without at least 2 daggers on his person.
+ Advanced Firearm training- Learned from a crew of pirates he encountered in his teens, his prowess for firearms extends from pistols to grenade launchers.
+ Alchemically Altered Eyes- Per his mother's consent, Apos was originally born blind. A spell brought about by his mother changed that, though she died in the process. In what was supposed to exchange Apos' blindess with her healthy sight, she instead underestimated the spell and gave Apos' pupils an ability to see in the dark without flaw.
+ Profecient in the arts of Stealth- Per his lifestyle, Apos has spent many nights under the shadow of building corners, in the homes of those that weren't his, and has even infiltrated other ships without them knowing.
- Sympathy for Children- This can be used against Apos to lure him into traps or force him to do something against his will. He generally refuses to kill innocent bystanders and children.
Predictible Selfshness- After the events of Dagobah, Apos is as selfish as they come in regards to the safety of his life.
Apos can be very blunt- Conversing with him can sometimes be difficult as he freely expresses his oppinions around others, regardless of their social or millitaristic ranks.
- Has a general mistrust for everyone he encounters
Heirloom:
"The ulaks had first been forged by the ancient Kabalians, used in defense of honor."
Ulaks- Are curved single-edged knives with serrated edges typically used in tandem. These were given to Apos from his father. These "swingblades" are capable of slicing and stabbing positions, and are designed to compliment the natural motions of a person's arms and hands in close combat.
Ship:
N/A
Physical Description:
Apos is lean, muscular, intimidating and fit. Apos, as is the rest of his family, stands at or around max height for his people, putting Apos at exactly 6'0 without boots. Besides his height, Apos wears goggles, has a clean shaven head and dresses particularly light, consisting of either light armor, leather, or tank tops and black pants with boots. Apos has tribal tattoos that run up the length of his left and right arm representing his ties to the culture of Kabal in the Unkown Regions.
Character Concept:
For all the ruckus, and murders he's done in the name of his own honor, and in the name of his Goddess Sappia, however, he has never shown any remorse for the murders he commits nor does he show much empathy for those around him. Apos could be described as cold, ruthless, and a myriad of other names but he often refers to himself as an animal, as his murders originate moreso from his ruthless will to survive rather than for the sake of killing. Murders committed post-Dagobah are a testament of this, because those whom came after him sought to kill him, therefore in order to survive, Apos has had no choice but to respond in kind.
If someone gets close enough to him they become part of the "Kill All Who Threaten" mindset, cherishing those whom he can actually call a friend. Working under the radar of the law combined with the dark nature of his profession has created a mindset of trusting very few people and Apos has even gone so far as to not converse with people for weeks whilst he is on the job for fear of compromise.
Biography:
--Holorecording switches On--
Apos' beginnings start on a planet in the unknown regions known as Kabal. This particular planet was unique in that it had no inhabiting sun, which resulted in a frozen surface yet the underground ecosystem and map-out of the planet was absolutely amazing. Intricate temples, caverns, and even entire cities lay under Kabal's surface allowing life to exist because of the emanating heat from the planet's core which has a temperature that has seemingly never altered since it's existence, being the perfect combination of warm. This anomaly can only be attributed to the mercy of the Force.
Despite the existence of life under the surface, reality can only allow them to be so advanced. Kabal's inhabitants were idealistic, primitive, and attributed their existence to a Goddess whom they refer to as Sappia the War Goddess. Shamans, ritualistic warriors, and witches made the lot of the people and when Apos was born he was destined to become a warrior. However a birth defect would prove to halt this prophecy, as Apos was born blind. His mother, whom was a Shaman, refused that her only son exist as anything other than a warrior so she formulated a spell to exchange her vision for Apos'.
After a few months of preparation, Apos' mother began to perform the spell on her son. Whilst he lay on a bed in her temple, she chanted and sang her powers over her drum-beating husband in the background as Apos' eyes began to shift and transform. What were once simple white orbs in the baby's head began to generate features of a healthy eye until Apos' mother whom happened to be very sick during the spell began to sway from over-exertion. Her husband's drum song grew louder and louder, as she chanted and waved fingers of blue aura over the child's face until the last of her effort was given and her lifeless body smacked against the rock hard floor of the room. Apos, whom stopped crying, blinked, and stared at the ceiling through eyes that could see the inside of the dimly lit room perfectly.
Apos' mother whom thought the spell would be a simple organ-for-organ alteration, underestimated the energy and life drain the spell prompted and if she had been a few years younger would have survived the procedure. Apos' father sat his drums down, stepped over her corpse, picked up his son and fitted a small dagger-shaped ornament into the baby's hand deciding to raise the child himself, which was uncustomary for men of Kabal.
As Apos grew older so did his affinity for small weapons. When Apos turned 16, he decided to leave the planet however, and once he conciliated this with his father Apos was gifted with a pair of Ulaks and a transport to leave Kabal. He found a way to make a living on a neighboring planet as a bounty hunter alongside men that promised Apos a place to stay aboard their ship in return for his training in melee combat. Apos would eventually learn firearm training from them in return, and combined with becoming street savvy whilst traveling with them he became the leader of the band by the age of 22.
Once the team touched down, Apos was the first to step off the ship, whereas his crew followed him into the swampy dangers of the planet. After 4 days on the planet, Apos' crew decided to follow through with their plan whilst their fight with a huge, mutated worm. Apos got split from the group and once realized, they turned and ran back to the ship. Infuriated beyond words, Apos could do nothing as he was backed into a corner by the giant worm before him.
Allowing the betrayal of his team to fuel his movements, he worked his ulaks into a furious frenzy of slicing agony as he and the creature fought for several minutes until the Worm bled to death and gently stretched out before Apos whom was on his knees expecting his death to be delivered moments before. Shaking, with wounds covering the entirety of his body he pulled himself across the muddy terrain with his arms as he found shelter under the hull of a tree. Expecting to die in his sleep, he closed his eyes and replayed the betrayal of his team in his mind until he drifted into unconsciousness.
Awaking the next morning, he found himself on a bed of leaves with bandages covering him and a datapad left next to him with no one in sight. He picked it up and read the only note left in the memory slot. “You owe me.”(I don't have an explanation for this line. I'm willing to RP this out in a thread as to WHO left it. If you want it to be you, PM me).
--Holorecording Fades......Finding Current Chapter.......--
Since then, Apos has found himself wandering the lot of the galaxy and unknown regions alone. His survival skills sense then have developed and have allowed him to live in multiple different climates whilst searching for the next pay day. Apos whilst working under the radar of the law, has bounties on his own head to which he enjoys bouncing assassins and bounter hunters alike back to their contractors. Apos' former team succeeded in keeping him out of their lives by framing him with various muders around the galaxy during his disapearnce. Oddlly enough however, the majority of his murders hadn't started to generate until his framing occurred. Since then he's taken a liking to his lifestyle, though a change of pace into a faction would be next on his list of agendas.
