Psychonaut
The Underworld Philosopher
There a quite a few oddities bustling about within the underhives of Coruscant's lowest levels, but few are as outlandish as the Psychonaut.
The Psychonaut is a mysterious figure amidst a sea of equally mysterious characters. Few, however, share his talents. Little is known of Psychonaut before he showed up in the undercity a year ago, but he's since made waves through the neon realm. Those that have met the Psychonaut cannot recall his face, as he carries a light bending device that shifts the colors of the world around him. He often uses it to cast the area in his near vicinity in shadowy colors that make discerning detail particularly difficult. Psychonaut comes and goes as he pleases, seemingly disappearing and reappearing out of thin air whenever it suits his purposes.
Psychonaut offers three services to those that contact him. The first and most sought after is his fortune telling. Whilst not connected to the force, Psychonaut is capable of reading possible futures for those that ask it of him whilst under the influence of intense psychedelic drugs. These futures are given to him in visions brought on by a deep meditative state, and all tend to be possible scenarios that may occur. These scenarios, however, are not always assured to come to pass. Psychonaut can only access the possibilities that may come, not the certainty that will follow.
His second service is expensive and employed only by those in particular need. Psychonaut is a mercenary of an interesting sort; he has honed his mind to function on certain psychedelic substances whilst in combat. This allows him to enter something a battle trance that mimics that of force sensitives, greatly enhancing his reflexes, allowing him to conquer his fears, and to keep moving after sustaining hits that would land other sentients in a coma.
The third is the creation and distributions of recreational psychedelics to those with the credits to buy them. The personal brand of drugs the Psychonaut partakes in are of a far different nature, and he has supposedly never shared them with a client.
What the constant use of these psychedlics has done to Psychonaut's mind are a mystery, but the results of his work seem to be enough for him to bear whatever risks might come. One could only hope that his sanity remains as composed as he does.

Psychonaut is about as average as any man in appearance. He is of average height and weight, his features rough and scarred due to a life of violence. His hair is kept cut to the scalp, his face clean shaven. His nose is slightly bent from a break that never healed properly, but he otherwise looks akin to many of the thugs wandering Coruscant's lowest levels.
Clothing wise the Psychonaut varies. He usually wears a blaster retardant leather jacket with a bulletproof vest worn underneath along with jeans or other casual wear., Most who meet Psychonaut cannot make out his facial features due to some piece of light bending technology kept within his jacket. The effects of this can range from simply obscuring Psychonaut in a sea of color, to completely entrancing a room in a flurry of psychedelic art and shadowy hues.
│ Personality |
Psychonaut is a difficult individual to pin down. He is seemingly amiable and rather charismatic when he wishes to be, often cracking jokes at the expense of himself and his comrades. His sense of humor is rather dark, and he tends not to play entirely well with the overly sensitive. Whilst kindly to those he meets, Psychonaut is not a pushover when it comes to getting what he wants. /He is not above intimidation and threats to meet his ends, and judges those he deals with by his own moral code. If they do not fit his criteria and are working at odds with him then it isn't unlikely for them to turn up in a dark alley with a bullet to the back of the skull.
Psychonaut is a calculating strategist that hides his intellect well behind banter and smiles. He works every angle and parleys with all sides to get the best deal for himself, and those around him if he can manage that much. He has few qualms with working the the less morally scrupulous crowd, though he has lines that if crossed will likely result in violence.
In his heart, Psychonaut views himself as the protagonist just trying to make his way through a galaxy that would rather see him dead. He sees existence as a battle against the encroaching darkness that is death, and can be rather intense when the veneer of mirth is dropped should he feel safe to do so. Privately, Psychonaut is a deeply introspective and spiritual individual as well as an idealist. He wishes to see great change in a world that he's decided he does not belong within, and the only way to bring about that change is to climb to the very top of the food chain.
