Merc/Bounty Hunter with a.. Varied past.

Well. Where can I start? I've got myself a character that I've had for a while, but was unable to find a whole lot that would really satisfy me. And then I finally come across here! But let's get down to the nitty-gritty.

The character which I'm wanting to get drawn has had many-a-job. (I'd like to give a bit of history here, hope you don't mind.) He was born on Felucia, the wonderful fungus planet, despising the planet from an early age due to being in the poor sections and having to deal with predators on and off. (Bull Rancors and Acklay aren't cuddly creatures.) He got himself into the criminal underworld to get a way to escape. He scraped, stole and fought until he finally got onto a pirate vessel and was able to start up mercenary work from ship to ship. It wasn't long before he also got into bounty hunting as well, as he saw this as a means to a lucrative end. After -this-, he became second in command of a mercenary unit, doing bad things like killing many Bothans. After -that-, he delved in to his merc work once more, finding himself with more pirates and the like as he started getting word in with his older contacts in the criminal underworld. He built himself up and put himself in a large seat of power by becoming the Prince of the Black Sun. A coup sent him back down to the bottom of the metaphorical criminal ladder. He went into hiding, though discovered by an old acquaintance, a Sith Lord who is going on an Empire building project. He's currently working as a commando for said Sith, meeting wonderful sentients and kindly killing them.

.. Really. I -know- that this sounds like he's an evil guy. I mean. Why would anyone good go out and start working for a Sith if he weren't evil as well? Well, I prefer to think of his attitude as.. Amoral. Learning to accept things as a fact of life, walking a path and not having a regret of past deeds. He's learned to live in the here and now. In his past, one could also call him a thrill seeker easily, as he went for just about anything that seemed dangerous without a care in the world in the earlier days of mercenary and bounty hunter work. But when he climbed up the food chain, he started to become more in control of his actions, slowing himself down and planning things out. Calm, calculated and jaded to a point, attaining that 'Thousand Yard Stare' which happens to those whose life are surrounded by violence.

He has traveled the galaxy and taken up residence on different planets. He's most at home when surrounded by the scum and villainous of the sector he's in. From the years of looking for whatever paying job there was, he has found himself going to the seedy cantinas and other criminal hang outs, adding to the already heavy fog of cigarette smoke with his near chain smoking ways. It is also likely to see him near a landing strut of his ship, settled in a lawn-chair with a blaster rifle settled across his lap.

While he's gone through the whole fact of being a 'professional soldier' and bounty hunter, he is not a muscle-bound man. The best word to describe him is athletic like a wrestler. (High School Wrestling, obviously.) Whenever I've read his description, I kept thinking of Norman Reedus.. But really, I'm open to whatever. He's got several distinguishing features. His skin is ash gray while his eyes are a more pale gray across all of them. (Think cataracts covering the entire eye.) He's got long black hair, around shoulder length. The other thing to note is his tattoo work that's usually visible. Running underneath his left eye are several black stripes, ending in an arrow point. Just between his eyes are three black diamonds. Just above his right eyebrow a black stripe goes up to his hairline while beneath his eye the stripe comes to a point at his cheek. There is a single line of color, red diamonds which starts below his left ear and runs at an expanding angle across his neck down to his collarbone. He usually feels naked without keeping at least a blaster pistol held in a gunslinger holster at his thigh. His armor's often dark colors, black with burgundy accents. He's gotten himself a fair amount of weapons, blaster rifles, carbines and pistols as well as several different style of grenades. (With a pair of thermal detonators that he gives a religious treatment too.) The clothing he usually wears out of the armor mimics that of his armor, blacks and burgundies, though I'm open to whatever colors you'd like.
