Jairus Starvald
Eidoloclast
Name: Vnut of Garnib
Loyalties: Tai Fa | Fa Holdings
Role: Vnut is the personal bodyguard of Tai Fa.
Development Threads: If requested.
Age: 27
Species: Balinaka
Appearance: Vnut of Garnib is similar to most Balinaka, yet, the time spend within the dirt and mud of Nar Shaddaa have left its mark on him in more than one way. He defies the more slender forms of the Balinaka, possessing a more bulky and brawny frame than most -- connoisseurs of the Nar Shadddian black market might recognize the illegal biochemical mods toughening him up.
He has multiple scars; claw marks running through his right eye and down his cheek, burn marks across his shoulders and up his neck, followed by badly healed pock marks around his abdominal regions. Badly healed stabbing wounds, the implication is.
Black eyes, but intelligence running its course there. White fur that still retains his shine- Vnut might not be able to do much about the scars, but he will make sure his fur is in a respectable state.
Personality: Vnut is not a talker, in fact if he goes through the day not saying a single thing, he considers it a win. This usually makes people assume he is stupid or at least not very bright. The truth is far from this, he simply realizes that his employer prefers it when the light is shone upon him and therefore ensures that the spotlight stays on his Lord.
He has a sense of humor, a strange one, but only displays it with a silly grin tugging at his teethy mouth.
This disturbs people sometimes, but the Balinaka usually doesn't notice.
No talker, his sense of humor surviving the depths of Nar Shaddaa and not prone to take the stage himself, Vnut is the right kind of material for a body guard. He doesn't make a fuss, follows his orders completely and without worrying too much about them. He has an understanding with Lord Fa and that's all that matters to him.
Force Sensitivity: Knight
Weapon of Choice: His muscles, sometimes the Force.
Skills: His skills in the Force are surrounded around managing his internal processes, in contrary to the more outward philosophies of the Jedi and the Sith. In essence, he is capable of strength, speed and endurance enhancement, but is completely incapable of anything more flashy like telekinetic skills or subtle as mentalism or illusions. As Vnut focuses on close-quarters combat he's mostly trained in various martial arts like Bakuuni Hand and Wrruushi.
Wealth: Has a steady job as Tai Fa's personal bodyguard.
Combat Function: At the end of the day Vnut is the right-hand bear and enforcer of Tai Fa. This usually means standing in the corner and looking menacing, but when it's necessary the ursine sentient is capable of dishing out quite the pain. He hits hard and is able to endure punishment in return. It stands to reason that because of this Vnut's fighting style is pronounced by heavy swipes, punches and kicks - there is little graceful about it and mostly focuses around dishing out as much as damage as possible in the shortest and most efficient way possible - he doesn't flow as a river, instead he opts to crash as a waterfall does on the rocks beneath.
There's a certain level of dirtiness to his fighting, as well. There's no honor during combat, according to him, and all that matters is that you come out alive, whichever way possible. This means he will go for the weak points, the knees, the groin, neck and shoulders or eyes.
Whatever gets the job done.
He fumbles with blasters and other ranged weaponry, though, so if you manage to catch him from a distance... he's in a lot of trouble without back-up. Plus, the end-all solution for his issues is 'Punch it and see what happens'.
It doesn't really get more complicated than that for him.
Notable Possessions: Nothing notable; just the clothing on his back. Whenever he needs something for a job, it's usually supplied to him by Fa Holdings.
History: Vnut of Garnib is... presumably from Garnib. He doesn't talk about his youth, but if you get him friendly enough he might let it slip that his departure had not been completely willingly. In truth Vnut accidentally killed one of their own, in anger, and as a result was exiled from their planet in return.
He roamed around, traveling alone mostly, while searching for something to occupy his time with. After a sabbac game and an anecdote by a random spacer, Vnut decided to visit Kashyyyk - they had compared him to the Wookiees and this made him curious.
For a while the Balinaka worked as a lumberjack for a local wookiee-run lumberjack company. There he was introduced to a low-key fighting ring, where young, hot-blooded wookiees fought and at the same time trained their skill in Wrruushi. Vnut learned much in his time with them and found he quite liked the Wookiees.
It was this likening that beckoned him to leave Kashyyyk. One day a raid occurred on the world, bold pirates swooping in and taking some of his friends with them.
He tracked them to Nar Shaddaa. He tracked them to the Lower Industrial Sector. There he found the bodies, there he made more bodies and there, eventually, was where one Lord Fa found the young Balinaka cradling the bloody bodies of his former friends.
Intent: To further establish Fa Holdings and the lore around it.
