---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
A blade and a soul: Due to years of criminal piracy, acting in Rodian Opera, and general interest, Olidiv has developed a somewhat maddening fascination with swords, and is a capable fencer with any vibrosword he's ever held. He would love to acquire a lightsaber at some point, if only to see how well they fare. His practice of swordmanship has developed him a knack for close combat, a love for sword play, and a frightening agile style.
Two pair is a decent hand: Like all Morseerians, he possesses four spearate arms, which he can use quite well with weaponry, tools, or any other tasks one normally uses arms for. Unlike Besalisks, he doesn't have a "dominant hand" in regards to dexterity. However, the lower arms are slightly less strong and shorter.
I have my secrets: Morseerians keep many secrets, including their own name for their people--and the real location of their home planet. Like most Morseerians, his willpower for keepign a secret is strong--the homeworld has never been revealed, even under pain of death from other species.
Slicers, and puns to match: Oliduv is a fairly gifted slicer, his knack for finding ways to siphon data is impresssive, but his best skill is vehicle theft. He can hot wire a military grade vehicle to respond without proper code entry in a matter of minutes. Spaceships take longer, mind you.
Of course I'd tell the truth, I'd do anything to win: Like any good actor, Oliduv can bluff his way through most things. Lying, manipulating crowds, and falsifying innocence and guilt are all parts of the act to him, and cowing his opponents through exhibition of swordplay is nearly as fun to him as actually fighting. Nearly.
You should not besmirch the honor of a master swordsman: Oliduv's pride is his great weakness. Tell him he cannot do something, and he will do something foolish to prove you wrong. He has a difficult time walking away from any challenge, be it a duel or a simple drinking game.
A Heroic Foppish Foil: Oliduv has a distinct taste for two of the finer things in life. Swords, and Clothing. While his obsession with swords has served to improve his skill. His love of expensive clothing rarely does more than cost him money.
A lady's knight: Oliduv will go out of his way to uphold his own ideas of chivalry. This includes repsecting a ladies requests, even when it is disadvantageous to do so. He would throw his life away for the right person, and his hopeless romanticism gets him into large swaths of trouble.
My honor: Oliduv can, and will, fight dirty and ferocious. However, he will never attack the unarmed or the innocent, considering such tactics "low" and "abominable." Many other mercenaries find his code somewhat insane and silly, but it is his way.
The climate offends me: Oliduv breathes methane, and oxygen is toxic to him, like other morseerians. His environemntal suit allows him to walk among others, but destroying the hose connected to his gas mask is as lethal to him as strangulation would be to you. The advantage of this, of course, is that as long as his system is intact, he doens't need to worry about thigns like poisonous fumes or tear gas in the air.
A volatile mixture: Due to the self contained methane in his environmental suit, he is literally prime to explode. A controlled blat of flame, either form a weapon or a force power of sufficient heat, will detonate one of the methane tanks in his suit, causing him to catch fire and explode. This is about as bad for him as it is for most other living things.
SHIP: Any man who has a ship, he'll gladly crew with. He does not yet have his own ship. He does have a friendship with Desmond Moralis, however.
EQUIPMENT:
Like all members of his species, Oliduv uses an environmental suit and gas mask to maintain his methane supply when not in atmospheres like his own. The vocalizer on the gs mask creates a slightly "mechanical" tone akin to some droids. The mask is a standard gas mask with a single hose connecting it to his suit, which has multiple packs of methane and pressure systems. The fiberweave of his environmental suit is durable and back with multipl redundant systems to avoid fatal toxicity from say a stray blaster shot or a flying rock to the face.
When it comes to weapons. Olidiv is somethign of a collector. His loadout will chagne based on the mission but his current weapons are as follows:
4 Vibrorapiers
3 Vibrodaggers (he often uses a pair of these as "offhand" weapons in his two larger upper arms)
2 Vibroswords
1 Power Cane (he brings it to formal events when he feels asword is too risky, but still expects people to misbehave)
4 Vibroknuckles
2 DL-18 Blaster Pistols
1 Electroblade training sword
1 Fusion cutter for cracking machinery open
1 Datapad programmed with multiple security system overrides
BIOGRAPHY:
Born to a pair of Spacers and Smugglers on Nar Shadaa, Oliduv developed an early talent for Slicing, and a love for holodramas. At an early age, he worked with a Hutt named Zulla for stage-productions (His gregarious largeness was known for having life performances at his parties), and began developing a popular following among slaves and stage men alike for a charmign demeanor, exquisite combat choreography, and clever applications of technology on a budget.
He continued bumming around the galaxy, including getting various roles here and there. Eventually, he made his way to Rodia, where the violent, stunning visuals of Rodian drama thrive on his violent portrayals and physical acting style. He also studied better slicing and hotwiring techniques, finding the Rodian underground more than happy to overlook his being booked on the weekends for shows.
Eventually, he got the largest break possible--a Role as General Grievous in the protection "The Clones Cometh!" a two-hour opera where he played the wild and brash Grievous opposite a calm, clever Dooku portrayed by the acclaimed Echani actor, Nolus Viin. The play sold so well, Olidiv was swimming in credits.
When the the show decided to take a multi-system tour, he gladly joined along, under the condition that he have a private methane room on board the ship. He took a small pay cut for the accommodation, but enjoyed it cheerily. While on Coruscant, he met Desmond Voralis, a gifted merc and opera buff who he quickly became drinking buddies with.
After the tour wrapped up, Olidiv began working as an actor, but also became interested in the technical production aspects of holodrama. AHFUL, an special effects and holotech firm, was going under, and after touring the facilities, he quickly arrange to trade stock rights and equity in exchange for his work as a "celebrity spokesman" for the company. Having now become the newest face of Aganathau Holography and Faux Utilitarian Lightworks, he began pushign the production of the Holosabers, artificial props that looked and sounded like real lightsabers for films crews. AS he expected, Rodian opera producers eagerly paidd for the opportunity to have mroe realistic weapons in their productions of plays feautring Jedi and Sith, and he sent a free set of six to the Producer of "The Clones Cometh," with the caveat that he be allowed to use them should he ever work with him on a project again.
Now, recently at the head of his own company, Olidiv hits the skies seeking for adventure, new ideas, and great scripts to play with. Oh, and the occassional merc job to pad his income.
