STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Ten is true to his heritage as a great shipwright, skilled in building, maintaining, and repairing starships. In order to not be just another cog, he is also equally adept in droid, armor, computer, and weaponry construction and repair. He is a decent pilot, a decent shot, and a decent slicer. Where he really excels though, is in repairs. His reputation is that he can fix anything, well, anything with a blueprint. He fixes things far more often then he creates.
What he isn't, is a fighter. Sure, he can hold a blaster and aim with some reliability, but he isn't a marksman, a quick draw, a heavy hitter, or trained in any fighting styles. His other flaw was his from birth, his eyes are photosensitive. It isn't hindering while he is wearing his shades over his eyes that lessen incoming light. They are designed not to compromise clarity or color, but if they are removed, he can barely see, and not without pain.
APPEARANCE:
If you were to find him among a group of other Sluissi shipwrights, he wouldn't stick out in the least. Scaled, a little above average height, wearing criss-crossing bandoliers of tools over his chest, with a belt of larger tools on right under his mesh vest. The vest is just for protection from heat, mild crushing force, and sharp objects. The heat protection is a necessity around ship engines and when welding hull. The crushing protection comes from durasteel 'ribs' built into the vest connecting to a plate of durasteel against his back. The puncture resistant mesh of the vest comes from a lightweight and flexible dallorian alloy.
Other than that, he is wearing shades over his eyes that are specially fitted to him. They intercept and filter incoming light so his photosensitivity isn't agitated. He needs them, so he won't be taking them off by choice. They can be tuned to function as welding goggles.
BIOGRAPHY:
If you ask around the Loop family, you'll find they speak highly of Ten. He wasn't a problem child, studied diligently, and devoted his time and patience to craft. You'll also hear how he has trouble staying still, he's a sight-seer, a dreamer, and inventor, but above all a wanderer. He is patient, friendly, but he is constantly searching for something new. So it was a surprise to find he stowed away on a merchants vessel at a young age to see other planets.....but that didn't mean it wasn't still worrying. His parent's main problem with it is that he didn't tell them first. So of course he set off into the stars as soon as he had the means to do so.
SHIP:
Being a shipwright first and foremost, Ten had serviced hundreds of ships in his family's shop. After all, Sluissi were well known for their ability to make and maintain starships. When the fateful day came that he laid eyes upon the smoking chassis of what he knew would one day be his ship, he set his plan in motion. In the shape it was in, Ten wasn't surprised it was able to land, he was surprised the pilot was able to get it to move in a straight line. The ship had obviously come under attack and taken heavy damage. There were multiple punctures to the hull from what seemed to be debris, as well as blaster markings along the back where it had taken blaster fire. Seeing as how it was a freighter, it had probably tried to cut through dangerous terrain to smuggle something. The pilot obviously had come into some money recently, as he sold the heavily damaged ship for scrap prices. Ten immediately made it known to his father that he would do the repairs himself, funding it as best he could, and working off any pay he couldn't so he could own the ship. The deal was struck, and after two years of work when he had time, Ten had himself a functioning Okyaab. He currently pilots it with his father's R9 droid, "Taps".
