Skajin var Imret
For the Fallen
NAME: Skajin var Imret
FACTION: We Who Survive
RANK: Sava (tenured full professor), University of Kubindi (destroyed)
SPECIES: Kubaz
AGE: Middle age
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 6'
WEIGHT: 220lbs
EYES: Goggles
HAIR: Black bristles
SKIN: Slate gray
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, which is very rare among Kubaz.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
A Kubaz like any other Kubaz, Skajin blends right in.
BIOGRAPHY:
<We know death like few others. The Yevetha slaughtered my ancestors on Morning's Bell. The Yuuzhan Vong scoured our homeworld. For a hundred years we became lonesome wanderers, placeless and rootless, a bit of afterthought flavor in the corner of a Hutt's court or a backwater cantina. And now the Draelvasier have murdered the whole of Kubindi again. For the second time, we are nothing on our home.>
Over his academic career, Sava Skajin var Imret developed a unique reputation. He voyaged to the comfortable blue-star Qoribu system, deep in the Unknown Regions, and tasted the flesh of the Killiks in their own hives. He pioneered the safe dissection and preparation of orbalisks, and learned the Force by consuming them. It amazed his friends and family - until the day they died - that he achieved tenure, let alone the rank of Sava.
<The Kubaz are a true interstellar species. We had already colonized multiple worlds when we discovered the Republic. And despite the Republic's best efforts to confine us to our handful of planets, we voyaged beyond the horizons they set for us. Today the Kubaz diaspora is strong but diffused across sectors and colonies that we share with others. There's no question that we will survive the Draelvasier genocide, but whether we thrive is a matter of will. Endurance is more than simply failing to die.>
Skajin barely escaped the Bryn'adul murder of Kubindi's Kubaz population. In the ensuing weeks and months, his grief has turned to bitter, implacable fury.
<We Kubaz have been here before. Now we share your pain - you from Kesh and Glottal and Lowick and Targon. We mourn with you. And we intend to do something about it if we can.>
FACTION: We Who Survive
RANK: Sava (tenured full professor), University of Kubindi (destroyed)
SPECIES: Kubaz
AGE: Middle age
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: 6'
WEIGHT: 220lbs
EYES: Goggles
HAIR: Black bristles
SKIN: Slate gray
FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes, which is very rare among Kubaz.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
- Must wear goggles on any planet with a human-standard sun (yellow or orange). Vulnerable to bright light without goggles. Goggles are obvious targets.
- Trunk is an obvious target.
- Resilient in irradiated environments.
- Highly competent in blasted wastelands and cave systems.
- Disdained by insectoid species.
- Wild talent with inconsistent conventional Force training (e.g. from the rogue Jedi
Laertia Io
and from the legacy of Clat the Shamer). Notable talents include memory walking and teleportation. - Xenolinguist. Speaks fluent Huttese, Minnisiat, Sy Bisti, Rodian, Cheunh, and other trade languages.
- Can learn languages easily, like other Kubaz.
- Can't speak Basic with much clarity. Generally relies on a protocol droid.
- Galactic-tier expert on eating many kinds of insects.
- Kubaz are typically a little weaker than humans and a little more dexterous. Skajin is strong for a Kubaz, but won't be winning any human powerlifting contests.
- Tough, seasoned guerrilla.
