---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
[+] Sensational Senses: Oedipus makes up for his lack of sight by having a superior use of his other senses. He can hear better than most especially, but all senses work together to paint a picture he could not otherwise see.
[+] Uncommonly Determined: Eddy has always been determined to figure out how to live as a blind man. This has not always been easy, but since he has figured it out the same determination has been applied to everything he does.
[+] Sharp Intellect: Due to going blind at a young age learning became a hobby. Reading was what kept him centered until the discovery came that the force could help him see. His brain is an encyclopedia of random facts that seem to prove useful when needed. Ask him… he likely knows.
[+] Witty Negotiator: Eddy has developed the art of negotiation. He's learned that certain words can create certain emotion. Though he cannot see color and hue, he can paint with words rather well. His determination means he isn't likely to back away from the table until he has at minimum what he wants.
[+] Exceptional Fighter: Combat has always been natural to his family, but learning to fight after going blind a challenge. Oedipus remembers every painful hit as he learned to use his senses to fight realizing he didn't need his eyes after all. Do not underestimate the blind man.
[-] Brilliantly Blind: Oedipus is blind. It is his most glaring weakness, though some would say it isn't a weakness at all. No matter what he has learned to cope there is still a part of life he is missing out on, with no hope of ever having it.
[-] Stupidly Stubborn: His determination comes from his stubborn attitude. On one side it is a great strength, but it can also be his downfall. Eddy doesn't know when to give up, and on occasion it shows.
[-] Self Inflicted Loneliness: Eddy keeps people at arm's length. He has had perhaps one good friend in his life, and may have been in love once, but both were lost because of tragedy. This has kept him closer to the world around him, and no one has yet to break down his defenses.
APPEARANCE:
Oedipus is tall and athletically built. He's always determined that just because he is blind that he should look like a slob. However, his blindness does make shaving his face a challenge so the man tends to keep his face stubbled. Lips are full and plump for his race, and his nose slightly crooked at the tip from a break he suffered as an early blind child.
Clothing is simple for him. Most of his outfits look the same, and there are people he pays to help him put ensembles together so he doesn’t look awkward. His battle armor is a deep crimson, near the color of blood. The helmet has small pointed horns at the top of the forehead designed for intimidation. It is rare he needs to wear it, but certain causes will pull the warrior out of him.
BIOGRAPHY:
Oedipus was born into an average family, a father and a mother, no siblings. His father’s side had all been fighters and did so for sport. It eventually put food on the table as the family ran their own fighting ring. The sport wasn't illegal, but it brought the attention of those who liked to cause problems. Soon they infiltrated the business and started calling the shots. Having wanting nothing to do with it, Oedipus’ family left. Without the people to actually make the business happen it eventually crumbled and a life on the run became normal for fear of retaliation.
Eddy was eleven when the hitmen caught up to them. He'd managed to hide as one by one each were taken out violently. This made the young boy mad, and lashing out the boy tried to stop one of the men. A flash bomb went off, his father’s final act to save his son, but in the process Eddy was blinded. There was a nice couple which felt sorry for him and took him in for a time, but when nothing seemed to help Eddy’s mood they found him a teacher… someone to reach through to him.
This teacher was a Jedi, and his goal had been to help Eddy understand his blindness didn't limit him. By thirteen it was clear through the training that Eddy was able to use the force. This led to a new direction and one who could teach Eddy about force sight was sought out. He still trained to fight with his teacher Master San, and every skill developed was earned. Eventually he would learn to use the force, his senses, and instinct to “see” better than he had seen before he was blind.
Again tragedy came. The family which had taken him grew ill due to a plague which Eddy had been fortunate enough to survive. The family did not, and being old enough to leave on his own, Eddy did just that. The disease could have been prevented if the toxins coming from the planet's largest company had not been dumped into the river. There were ways to fight this injustice and Eddy was going to find out how. This was the first time he used his skill to hurt people. It felt wrong, so he learned to use words.
Over time Eddy would learn words were not always enough in his quest to help people, to bring justice. The Jedi he had trained with couldn't help him to see the danger of using his fists and weapons to bring justice when his words failed. Eddy was alone again. It was a simple life, but one that took him across the galaxy seeking out injustice. Some call him a mercenary, a vigilante, and others have called him misguided. Whatever he is, justice is his driving force.
