The Doppelganger
APPEARANCE:
Arlo is a Methuselan, a Near-Human species which, despite having a lifespan comparable to baseline Humans, do not show the outward physical signs of aging once they reach maturity. Their bodies break down and wear out, becoming prone to various ailments and diseases, but at least they still look young. Thus, while Arlo appears to be a tall and fit man in his early twenties, he is in fact a crusty old bastard. His skin is so tanned it has become leathery and rough. He keeps his dark curly hair cropped short. The crisscrossing scars over the upper half of his face were inflicted while he was in Sith captivity during the Chaldean Civil War; he's got plenty more marks to spare on the rest of his body. He is rarely seen outside his armor made from dragonskin leather, with the mane of a leonardbird around his shoulders.
STRENGTHS
Chaldean Mystic: Trained as a Mystic, Arlo is Force sensitive, but has devoted his life to impeding the Force connections of others, or as he would call it "rebuking the powerful". He can suppress or sever a person's connection, rendering them unable to use their powers.
By Spear Or By Blade: Arlo's favored weapon is the spear, but he also has some skill with daggers and other blades.
Animal Friend: Arlo has a natural affinity for animals and has learned to ride numerous mounts, ranging from horses to griffins to dragons.
Hunter: Arlo is experienced in tracking, trapping, and other hunting skills.
Feth Off, Ghost: Arlo has been to the Netherworld more than once, and lived to tell the tale. He knows how to battle the incorporeal, be they ghosts, Shadows, or demons.
WEAKNESSES
Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks: While he doesn't look it, Arlo is pretty old. He is in excellent physical condition relative to his age, but suffers from rheumatism, tires easily, is forgetful and can't do nearly as much as he used to. It also takes him longer to recover from injuries, which are more likely to leave him debilitated.
Chaldean Mystic: Arlo is bound to the code of the Mystics; he can only suppress or sever the connections of others. All other Force abilities are off-limits.
Grumpy Old Man: Age and some heavy emotional baggage have turned Arlo into a cantankerous grouch. He's not easy to get along with.
BIOGRAPHY:
Chaldean Mystic Arlo Renard played Rattattaki Roulette and "won" the sum of twenty thousand credits at the cost of his head. He spent a little over a decade in the Netherworld, minding his own damned business, only to be blasted back into Realspace in the wake of the Chaldean Apocalypse. Searching for familiar faces among the survivors, he finds himself cast adrift in a galaxy which has little sympathy for his plight.
