"Cobalt"
Road Warrior
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Cobalt is, at first glance, a mostly nondescript humanoid of a dusty, ragged appearance, indistinguishable from the millions of other lowlives and scrappers who infest the galaxy. While by now he could surely afford better, his dress is threadbare, utilitarian, and full of holes. Cobalt's white, featureless eyes stare suspiciously out at the universe from between a hooded jacket and a worn respirator. He carries himself with a nervous, hair-trigger energy typical of his species.
INVENTORY
Cobalt's Handmade Shotgun
Cobalt's Customized WSS "Wastelander"
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Cobalt is quiet, serious, and deeply spiritual. He regards the hunt for salvage as far more than just a job, but a way of life. A subscriber to Scab animism, he holds that the hunt for treasure often reveals something about the seeker as well. It matters very little to him whether his buyer is good or evil, only that he have opportunities to hunt; as such, he has fallen in with the Hutt Cartel as a primary employer.
STRENGTHS
Mutant: Being of mutant stock, Cobalt has been warped and altered considerably by exposure to numerous toxic environments. As a result, he enjoys moderately enhanced speed, reflexes, strength, and durability when compared to baseline humans, as well as increased resistance to poisons and radiation.
An Eye for Value: A skilled scavenger, Cobalt is able to quickly appraise the value of salvage with reasonable accuracy, and has a knack for digging valuables out of even the most hostile environments.
Tunnel Fighter: Skilled at guerilla tactics in the toxin-choked ruins and junk planets he frequents, Cobalt is a highly competent fighter, particularly in dark and enclosed spaces.
WEAKNESSES
Criminal History: Cobalt's work is dubiously-legal at best, and he has been known to engage in "preemptive salvage" when times are lean. As such, his relations with the law are less than positive.
Metabolic Furnace: The downside of Cobalt's resilience comes in the form of a need to eat often, requiring more calories than most other near-humans to stay healthy.
HISTORY
A young Scab mutant, Cobalt has spent his entire life in the trade common to his people. Scavenging from the day he could walk, he soon enjoyed a reputation for thoroughness and success in his work. Drifting from employer to employer, Cobalt rarely stayed anywhere long, both due to nomad tendencies and due to occasionally "scavenging" something that still had an owner. Unusually spiritual for one of his people, he soon came to view the act of scavenging itself as sacred, a philosophy not unlike that of the Ugor species. As such, he began to be more selective in his work, seeking more unusual or exciting salvage. It didn't take long for him to wind up where all the dregs of society do: into the welcoming arms of the Hutt Cartel.
