BIOGRAPHY:
Born in the rooftops of a towering wroshyr tree, Lofkazza began his life as all wookiees do. He grew up amongst the elders and children of his village, watching and learning as he grew.
Upon turning 12, Lofkazza ventured into the Shadowlands with his father, Frokazza, and his friend and mentor, Kiturra for the Test of Accension. In the Shadowlands Lofkazza was taught to survive, adapt, hunt and to fight. His first kill was a katarn, as was tridition in the Hrrtayyk Ceremony. Victourious in his endeavours Lofkazza returned to his village to begin his duties as an adult of the community.
For several years he spent day and night shadowing Kiturra and his father. They served as hunters and guardians of the village and Lofkazza was eager to follow in their footsteps. Shortly after his 18th year he took his place as an adult and was no longer a pupil. He began hunting and ventruing out from the village to strike at slavers and keep them from his home.
Frokazza often would venture with his son down into the shadowlands to train him in Wrruushi and on the proper handling of his ryyk blades. Lofkazza grew more and more proficient as years passed and before long he was considered one of the best in the vilage at hand to hand combat,and a decent shot with the bowcaster.
At the age of 38, Lofkazza's whole world changed. Lofkazza and Kiturra were on their way back to the village after a day of patrolling to the south of their village. They were almost back when they began to hear odd noises from village. Anxiously they began to sprint through the trees, their claws sinking into the bark as they flew through the wroshyrs of the forrest in a blurr of fur and claw.
A guttural yell ripped through the tree tops as an explosion rocked the far end of the village. Lofkazza arrived just in time to see his father cut down before him. Slavers. Hundreds of them. They were pouring over the village slaughtering every wookiee that resisted and capturing all those that fled. Without hesitation Lofkazza and Kiturra dove into the nearest group of slavers, their ryyk blades becoming a blurr of red death as they cut down slaver after slaver.
It was only moments before the rest of the slavers noticed what was happening and turned their attention to the two wookiees that were carving a path through them. They fought on as slavers continued to come at them until finally, they were beaten down and stunned. As his vision faded, he knew not why they hadn't been killed, nor what happened to his family, but the vision of his fathers death and their home burning would forever be etched into his mind.
For the next 40 years Lofkazza was a slave. Mining, digging, transporting. He was whipped and beaten and forced to work endless hours upon hours. But he did not resist. He recovered his strength. He watched. Listened. Until the slavers were put down.
Lofkazza was being transported across the galaxy along with a dozen other slaves. Their cells were small, especially for the wookiees. Suddenly the ship shook. Alarms began going off as the slavers started shouting. They were under attack.
The sounds of blasters and screams filled the ship. Suddenly all the cell doors opened as a figure came running down the hallway. Lofkazza and the rest of the slaves stumbled out of their cells and began following their would-be rescuer that had freed them moments before. As they followed him through the slave poodoo they were able to grab a few weapons and help fight their way off the ship.
As they turned a corner nearing the cargo bay blaster fire exploded in front of them. A groupd of the slavers had taken the door from their attackers. As the slaves and their rescuer pulled back to defend themselves and find a way through the door, Lofkazza saw a grenade come around the corner. He immediately dove on the grenade and threw it back toward the slavers, but no sooner than the grenade had left his hand, it exploded. It shredded through his arm, his vision was blurred, his body thudded against the floor as he was thrown backwards, and then he fadded into darkness.
It's hard to say how long he was out for, how they got him off that ship, or what even happened after the explosion, but when he awoke, he was on a ship. He couldn't see out of left eye and his where his left arm used to be was a bandaged stub. Across the room he thought he could see the man that had freed him from his cell. He looked to be in worse shape than the wookiee. Someone appeared at Lofkazza's side but before anything could be done, he faded from consciousness again.
Upon waking again, they began trying to communicate with the wookiee to see what he wanted done. After much deliberation they began to fit him with a custom arm, though they were puzzled as to why he refused any occular implants. They proceeded with the surgery and helped him learn how to use his new arm.
Over the next several months Lofkazza was confined to only a few rooms on the ship. The man that had rescued him, the one he dove on the grenade for, was finally getting better. As the wookiee made more progress his rescuers prepared him for departure.
The man that had rescued him refused Lofkazza's offer of a life debt, saying Lofkazza saved his life as well. Instead, he gave Lofkazza his ship, The Phoenix. His only request was that the wookiee use his new found freedom and ship to help cleanse the galaxy of slavers and to protect those that could not protect themselves, just as that man had done for the wookiee.
Upon departing the company of his rescuers and saviors, Lofkazza returned to Kashyyyk. Carefully, he made his way to the village he had grown up in. There was nothing left. Most of it had been torn down or burned. As he climbed through the trees around his village a fire deep inside of him burned. Images of that fateful day flashed through his mind.
Carefully making his way into down into the shadowlands, he worked his way to his old camp from the days his father and Kiturra would train in the darkness. His fathers bowcaster sat in the corner and metals for him to forge new ryyk blades and armor as well.
Lofkazza stayed in the shadowlands for a few weeks, honing his skills and adapting to his new arm and the loss of his eye. When he was ready he ventured back to the tree tops of Kashyyyk and took one last look at his broken home. He vowed he would come back one day and rid Kashyyyk of slavers for good.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths: Wookiee Athletics - As a wookiee, he is naturally strong and rather quick from his days climbing the towering trees that cover Kashyyyk.
Wrruushi - Wookiee Martial Arts
Cybernetics - After badly injuring his left arm and ultimately losing it while fighting slavers, he had a custom cybernetic arm built for him.
Craftsman - He's very good with tools of all sorts and can make or fix just about anything.
Weaknesses: Communication - Being a wookiee, more often than not it is difficult to communicate with others as most species do not understand wookiee language and he is unable to speak basic.
Eye - At the same time he lost his arm to slavers, he lost his left eye as well. He chose not to receive an implant for his vision and therefore he has a blind spot on his left side.
Slaver Rage - After family, friends and his arm and eye to slavers, the sight of or even mention of slavers will send him into a rage. He has sworn to kill any slaver he sees for as long as he shall live. His rage gives him tunnel vision and blocks all other thoughts from his mind.
APPEARANCE:
Lofkazza is large, even by wookiee standards. His height is average, but after of years of slave labor he has become a walking pillar of muscle and his strength is unparalleled. The fur on his face is light brown, darkening around his eyes and as it wraps around his head. The rest of his fur is dark brown with shades of black streaking thoroughout his body. He wears an armored sash across his chest which holds extra magazines for his bowcaster. His back and chest are coverd by custom made durasteel armor. His bowcaster is slung across his back, his ryyk blades are just above his waist, the hilts just above each of his hips for easy access. His shoulders and head are bare, and only a small patch covers his missing eye.
