[Annasari]

​

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To create a crime boss for an RP and to flesh out lore a little bit more.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Name: Kartr Arlox, the pretend prince of the Undercity
• Loyalties: Himself
• Wealth: Kartr possesses a good amount of wealth to live a very comfortable lifestyle. This comes from recently cornering the spice-running market in the Undercity, as well as forcing Undercity businesses to pay him a "protection" fee or have their business destroyed by his posse.
• Notable Possessions: A good amount of gems, and a golden bust of his head- both reside in his home.
• Skills: He is an extreme manipulator and a great public speaker. He's also worked his way from the bottom to the top, learning a notable amount of combat skills along the way.
• Personality: Kartr comes off cold and calculating. He has very few close friends, and those who are close to him barely seem to know him. He does have an angry streak though, and when provoked tends to become irrational.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Weapon of Choice: Charm, hand to hand combat, though he usually prefers to have his minions do the fighting.
• Combat Function: Exceptionally well. Growing up on the streets and working on as a lower level in a gang has taught him how to scrap.

Strengths:

• Cunning: Kartr is excellent at getting what he wants, even by means of deceit or manipulation.
• Charismatic: People tend to find themselves drawn to Kartr even though he is an objectively bad person.
• Force Dead: Cannot be sensed with precognition, immune to most force attacks.

Weaknesses:

• Tyrannical: Kartr rules his gang with an iron fist, which leads many of those beneath him to eventually betray him- if they can get away from the charm.
• Anger issues: When Kartr gets angry, he becomes impulsive and illogical.
• Force Dead: Cannot be healed via force healing or use battle meditation.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Kartr grew up on the streets of galactic city an orphan. To get by, he began information brokering, as people never questioned having a kid around when he would eavesdrop. After selling information to a local street gang (The Ruby Crew) for a while, Kartr got an in with them as a typical "goon". He quickly rose to the top, both his charm and the fear he seemed to instill in people assisting in that. He ended up killing his former boss, taking over the gang. He now terrorizes those of the Undercity and his main goal is to accumulate more wealth.

Since this character is Force Dead, I'd recommend adding the corresponding Strengths and Weaknesses pertaining to this.

Elpsis Kerrigan Added, hopefully I worded it right.

Think there's a bit of a misunderstanding. Being Force-Dead doesn't just mean you're not Force-Sensitive, it means you're a void in the Force, like the Yuuzhan Vong.

In short, a Force Dead being cannot be sensed in the Force, which also means one cannot use the Force to predict their actions and it is not possible to mind trick them etc. Moreover, they are immune to most direct Force attacks. For instance, a Force Push is no real use against them. This is the Strength.

However, they are still not immune to the Force. A direct telekinetic attack will be no real use, but you can obviously use TK to pick up a boulder and throw it at them. Moreover, for obscure reasons, Force Lightning still works against them. Finally, they cannot be aided with the Force (so Force Healing does not heal them, Battle Meditation does not boost them etc. does not work). This the Weakness.

So just add something like this to Strengths and Weaknesses respectively.

Wow, forgive me, I guess that was a bit of lore I was misunderstanding! Thank you for the clarification, and it has been edited.
