Lampshade
Character
NAME: Unknown
PSEUDONYM: Lampshade
FACTION: None
RANK: Black Market Arms and Ships Dealer
SPECIES: Human
AGE: Mid-40s/50s, depending on which story he tells you
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 5’10”
WEIGHT: 210lbs
EYES: Blue Green
HAIR: Black
SKIN: White
FORCE SENSITIVE: No
STRENGTHS:
- Black Market: Lampshade has a large number of connections throughout the galaxy’s criminal underworld due to his career in black market deals, and as such can find just about any info anyone else may need…for a price
- Prosthetic Arm: After his arm got lopped off during a weapons deal gone wrong, Lampshade got his arm replaced with a much stronger and more durable prosthetic arm made out of beskar-reinforced Durasteel. This gives him enhanced strength and durability for his entire right arm.
- Hidden Compartment: Inside Lampshade’s prosthetic arm is a compartment big enough to hide a small pistol. Due to the components of the arm itself, this compartment will bypass all but the most intensive search procedures.
- Illegal Technology: Lampshade has access to highly illegal weaponry not accessible to the public, enabling him to make a pretty penny off of just about anything he gets his hands on.
WEAKNESSES:
- Enemies in Low Places: Lampshade has made many enemies throughout the galaxy due to the shady nature of his job (and his tendency to screw over buyers and sellers that he doesn't like) ranging from unimportant lowlifes all the way up to high-ranking imperial officers. This makes getting a returning customer difficult, as he has to move his “Black Market Bazar”, as he calls it, extremely frequently to avoid hits and arrests.
- Lousy Shot: In spite of always carrying a piece on him, Lampshade has almost never had to actually use a gun, nor has he ever bothered to train with one. As such, he is a very poor shot, and will often accidentally discharge his weapon while drawing it.
- Slow: Due to not being in very good shape, Lampshade is very slow when walking and running, making him an easier target for any pursuing enemies.
APPEARANCE:
Lampshade is a heavy-set man standing at about 5’10” and weighing 210lbs, with a black prosthetic right arm that is covered underneath a leather jacket and glove at all times. He has shoulder-length black hair and is clean-shaven at all times. He usually wears a leather coat, a pair of leather gloves, a black long-sleeved shirt, running shoes, and a pair of blue pants. Although he never wears a holster, he has his main pistol hanging out of the back of his pants, and a secondary pistol hidden within his arm’s hidden compartment.
BIOGRAPHY:
Lampshade grew up in the lower levels of Coruscant, right next to a very popular battlefield for the various gangs of Coruscant to fight over. This constant induction into the life of criminals quickly led him to attempt to beg, borrow, and steal his way straight to the top of the underworld on Coruscant. This plan, however, fell apart pretty soon after he (both metaphorically and physically) stepped on the toes of a local crime boss, causing him to be run straight off-world. A frantic ticket purchase would leave him essentially stranded on Tatooine whereuppon his arrival he would immediately stumble his way into a black-market deal gone wrong, finding himself caught in the crossfire of two separate gangs. After smooth-talking his way out of a quick execution by the winner of the fight, Lampshade took over as their personal arms dealer, a position he was heavily underqualified for.
Thanks to a quick learning ability, as well as finding himself with enough credits to constantly skip town, Lampshade has since become a minor player in the arms dealing circle, garnering minor fame among bounty hunters and freelance mercenaries as both a cheap and reliable way to get just about any rifle in the galaxy, so long as you know what youre looking for.
