Sneaky. Moments of brief cleverness shine through the stupidity.

Strong. Fast. Strangely so. When he is angry, he sometimes runs faster, jumps higher, and hits harder than he has any right to.
Tough. Stands barely bruised from impressive falls, takes multiple direct hits to stun.
Loud. Though he may derided or underestimated, he is impossible to ignore.

KILLS:
No one worth remembering.

BOUNTIES COLLECTED:
He prefers to skip straight to getting paid....

ROLE-PLAYS:
Here's hoping....

LOADOUT​

This jaded jackass brandishes a number of implements throughout the course of his violent exploits. Without going into too much detail, let's review a handful of them.

#1: The Checkmate

This pocket disruptor will disintegrate an organic target immediately upon an accurate hit. It also violates droids and makes a complete mess out of automated systems. Of course, this little punk of a gun burns through an entire ammo cell in a single shot, meaning it's expensive to fire, and even more pricey to miss with. That's part of the reason Rax rarely fires the Checkmate if he's not holding it inches from some bastard's face.

#2: The Ifrit

One of Rax's dear friends, this is a versatile sword variant of the ZW-001 Pattern Heated Vibroweapon. Forged of Zaradium, it's heavier than it has any right to be, and even with his abnormal strength, it's a pain for Rax to heft around. However, the combination of extreme heat output and standard vibroweapon ultrasonic vibration makes this huge cleaver an absolute beast. Who needs a lightsaber?

 

[Raxtos]

Raxtos owns a droid. Let's talk about Deet.

A DD-4 maintenance droid, Deet is always interested in fixing things. Stomping on people's heads with huge magnetized feet may seem a strange way of fixing something, but as Rax is fond of saying, Deet has "personality." Suffice to say, his programming has evolved over the course of his time with Raxtos.

Despite Raxtos getting him used with a discount, Deet's hardware and tools are largely operable, and he comes with all the bells and whistles. High-density crystal memory frame, nav data compiler and starchart uplink, along with a holo-projector and an internal commlink to round out his core systems. His toolkit is extensive, from hydrospanners and a universal ratchet set, to two different plasma torches, (and a fire extinguisher,) air compressor with airjet, slicer's tools, and several kinds of manipulator arms.

Then there are his huge frame feet, which contain magpads and jetpacks. Standing at 5ft tall, Deet is strong enough to drag around large starship parts, and in flight can comfortably lift a human adolescent.

The reason Deet's spaceport sold him off so cheap was because the DD-4 had a hoarding problem. The droid had a tendency to remove ship parts for repair.... and then never reinstall them. An untold number of terrible accidents probably resulted from his time working at the spaceport, but in the droid's defense, the parts he took were all repaired. He'd just been so proud of his own repair job, he decided he'd rather keep his work.

When this was discovered, Deet was wiped and reset. Then again, because the problem persisted. Whether there was a hardware issue or the droid was backing himself up somewhere and downloading back in later, his supervisors weren't sure. But they knew he was a menace, and they wanted to make back some of what he'd cost without causing anyone to sue them.

So they quietly marketed Deet as a "thief droid."

Raxtos bought it the same day he learned it existed.
