STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES :
+Genius Warrior- Rogo is highly intelligent, highly adaptable, and naturally talented in most manners of warfare. While he lacks the strength of many of the larger races, lacks the age of some of the longer lived, and doesn't have the same skill-set as a Jedi or Sith; he applies himself in just the right methods to stay alive. His grasp of tactics is impressive, his knowledge of equipment and vehicles is staggering, and his ability to pick up a new talent and rapidly adapt to it, before properly implementing it, is the reason he's lasted over a decade as an unaligned Mercenary.
+Shocktrooper- His most common, default tactic while in combat, is that of a Rifleman. He locates, closes with, and destroys his enemy through fire and maneuver, repelling their assaults through fire and close combat. Years of experience, a keen eye for detail, and a natural, almost predatory instinct, allows him to rapidly prioritize and reevaluate threats on the battlefield. His preference of a rapid advance and a midrange engagement, using combined arms, when combined with his own skill, renders him an immensely dangerous single combatant.
-/+Wild Card- He is a Mercenary, first and foremost. He doesn't like to cleave to any single entity, even avoiding affiliation with the Bounty Hunters Guild. His word is without doubt, however. He never reveals secrets of past employers, preferring to keep them all as potential clients. While this doesn't win him many friends, he doesn't make too many enemies, either. It's a simple matter for him to level a CIS facility one week, then be hired to respond in kind to a Republic one the week after. He's a business man. He's in the business of violence. Business is always booming for him.
-Tempermental- Janus can be very, very prone to provocation, with the most common cause being his colleagues and cohorts. He tends to hold everyone to a higher standard, even himself, and can become highly agitated at the perceived failings of those he works with, particularly if it threatens him, or his success, in any way. This can end up being demonstrated through a particularly insulting, degrading, and wrathful barrage of insults and threats, if not outright violence. Its gotten to the point that he tends to take solo jobs, if not for his own safety, then for the lack of willing cooperators.
+/-Cyberneticized- His right arm is a cybernetic replacement, high quality, with a concealed weapon. It was removed, forcibly, during contact with a Jedi years ago. The arm is distinctly inorganic, though the flechette launcher inside is very well concealed. It's not particularly stronger than his other arm, in order to maintain an internal sort of equilibrium for its user. It is more durable, however, and composed of a non-conductive material. The neural linkings in the shoulder, however, handle ion pulses very poorly, and cause all manner of distress to Rogo when he's impacted by them.
-Criminal- There's not really two ways about it. Janus kills people, destroys property, harasses, threatens, intimidates, fights, and generally wreaks all manner of chaos for a living. It is his job. It is shockingly frowned upon by most societies. The same people that hire him are also responsible for attempting to detain, charge, and punish him for his crimes. This makes it slightly difficult to work with official organizations, at times, if not downright impossible. He has to keep a fairly low profile on any major, civilized world.
APPEARANCE:
Janus Rogo would've been perfectly at home in any of a dozen holodramas, playing a dashing rouge or a vain swashbuckler, or the like. He chose a different, more violent path, and it's starting to show. He's very well built, with a toned, muscular body, built up by years of a constant combat lifestyle. Scars criss-cross the body, with the most noticeable one being the joining point for his cybernetic arm and shoulder. His hair color changes regularly, to keep people on their toes and throw off people that search for him. He'll go time without shaving to grow a beard, then cut it all off when he leaves the planet he's on. His irises are fairly constant, however, remaining a cold, metallic gray. They're naturally unnatural, however, he just doesn't like putting any lenses on them to mask the color.
BIOGRAPHY:
Born on Lorrd, to a Mandalorian outcast and a native Bounty Hunter, Rogo was always destined for a violent lifestyle. His parents encouraged his growth, teaching and training him as early as they could. He didn't get a true Mandalorian upbringing, and as such, holds little loyalty to them. His life on Lorrd was really only remarkable in the amount of information he took in. In addition to his parents training regimen, they insisted he attend school, regularly, sending him to attend college at the Lorrd City University. He served for several years in the Galactic Alliance Military, commanding an Infantry Squad, before growing bored of the dreary planets he was posted on, and striking out on his own. In the years since, he's been earning a reputation as a destructive force to be reckoned with. Notable for unorthodox solutions to simple problems. Gets the jobs done.
SHIP:
Thunder Run
An ancient, heavily modified and upgraded Skipray Blastboat. Heavily patched, clearly seen years of use. Runs well, handles well, fights well. Rogo loves it. Keeps a pair of Astromechs on it. Knob and Odds. They run the ship and are responsible for much of the maintenance done on it.
EQUIPMENT:
Janus has a tendency to take "souvenirs" while on jobs. That is, he likes to loot or steal. Over the years, he has managed to acquire himself a fairly sizable arsenal of weaponry and body armor, keeping it stored on his ship. He'll adjust his loadout to suit the mission at hand. He'll consistently carry a pistol and a knife, regardless of the job, however. He favors an old prototype body armor he acquired during a raid on a Republic R&D facility.

KILLS:
Numerous kills during numerous missions and ops. Some more notable, some less notable.
BOUNTIES COLLECTED:
Shockingly few. Doesn't specifically hunt bounties, unless specifically paid to kill someone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In summation? He's an intelligent mercenary, trying to do his job, without lining up for a side. Good dude. Smart, friendly, happens to kill a lot.
