Physical Description: At about 6 feet tall even, Jek has a lean, athletic build that he's careful to maintain, being aware that getting slow and fat in his chosen profession is a good way to end up face down in the alley behind a cantina. While not fond of a beard he doesn't go clean shaven either, and prefers to maintain a thin scruff that he thinks is 'debonair'. After losing an eye in a fight on Nar Shaddaa some years back he had several cybernetic implants installed.
Name: Jekran "Jek" Odan
Phonetic Name:Jek-run Oh-dan
Species: Human
Gender:Male
Age:27
Hair:Black
Eyes:Blue
Skin Tone/Complexion: Fair
Height: 6'0
Weight:185lbs
Scars: A long, slightly curved scar runs from his forehead down across where his right eye used to be to the middle of his cheek. He got the scar, and lost the eye, on Nar Shaddaa after a disputed hand of Sabacc. Several other scars in varying locations and shapes over his body, Jekran likes to call them a 'map' of where he's been.
Tattoos: None
Build: Athletic
Left/Right Handed: Right
Commonly Worn Clothing: Inconspicuous. Jekran generally prefers to wear clothes that wouldn't make him stand out in any cantina in the galaxy. Might occasionally dress 'fancy' if it's needed to..acquire goods or get by security. 'Sky', a custom modified Black Nebula Heavy Blaster he acquired from a former employer after a dispute over pay, is about the only thing he is guaranteed to be wearing regardless.
Background:Jekran was born on Abregado-rae to Eran and Maira Odan, both in the service of a local Houk crime lord. His parent brought him into the business early, using him as a courier/gopher in their dealings, and his quick wits and quicker reflexes when doing his job and avoiding rival gangs made him somewhat of an unofficial mascot in his youth, and brought him to the bosses attention when he got older.
At first used as simple muscle given his aptitutde with a blaster, as the Houk's amibition grew he began trusting Jekran with more delicate matters, including moving goods and making deals offworld, eventually giving him the use of the Wayward Star.
This arrangement continued for several years, with Jekran rising through the ranks, until the Houk finally overstepped his bounds and provoked a more powerful and well connected crime lord. Jekran's father was killed in the ensuing gang war, and his mother vanished. Seeing the inevitable coming, and having no desire to be put up against the wall with his former boss, Jekran took the Wayward Star and left Abregado-rae behind, and has in the years since made his was as a smuggler and gun for hire.
Birthplace: Abregado-rae
Named For/After: Named after his grandfather
Childhood: Both of Jekran's parents were employed by one of the criminal syndicates vying over Abregado-rae. Jekran was initiated into the 'family business' fairly early, though as a child it was mostly on courier/runner duties.
Parents: Jekran knows his father was killed some years ago, he's had no word of his mother for some time.
Sibling:Only child
Result of Childhood: Jekran's upbringing instilled a strong independent streak, combined with a good knowledge of the workings of the criminal world.
Spouse/Lover:No spouse, countless lovers picked up and abandoned across the galaxy. Some would like to have his head, others remain good business contacts
Children: None that he is aware of.
Spoken Languages: Basic, Huttese
Written Languages: Basic, Huttese
Favorite Uttered Saying: "I never killed a man who didn't have it coming."
Drinks: Y/N? Frequently
Smokes: Y/N? Frequently
Favorite Foods:Gumbah Pudding
Favorite Drinks: Bantha Blaster, Starshine Surprise
Favorite Smokes:Whatever is available.
Speech quirks: None notable, Jekran is skilled at picking up slang and dialects local to wherever he's conducting business.
Personality Qualities: Though he's very careful about giving it, once committed Jekran takes personal loyalty very seriously, and once he's given his word to see something through, whether it be delivering spice in the outer Rim, or giving aid to a friend, he doesn't quit.
Personality Flaws: Authority isn't one of Jekrans favorite words, and authority figures aren't among his favorite people.
Profession: All official records in the Republic and the Empire indicate that the Wayward Star is a perfectly ordinary freighter, and Jekran Odan is a perfectly ordinary Trader. Not infrequent payments to several highly skilled slicers make sure it stays that way.
Skill Sets: A lifetime spent in and around the criminal underworld of the galaxy has given Jekran a wide variety of skills. A natural pilot, excellent shot with a blaster and scattergun, he's also a skilled medic, slicer, and scavenger.
Hobbies: Skilled Sabacc player, collector of rare and unusual weapons
Religious Beliefs:None of note.
Motivations/Emotions:
Primary Drive (What makes your character go?): Became insanely wealthy, retire to a private moon somewhere, preferably with a harem of women of several species.
How Does Your Character Deal With Certain Emotions?
What drives them to certain emotions?
Love: Jekran loves every woman he meets, and it lasts roughly as long as it takes him to finish his business on whatever planet/moon/station he's on. Possibly the only things he genuinely loves are the Wayward Star and Whump, a mouse horranth he raised from a baby after being given it as a gift by a Hutta Gangster he did some work for in the Outer Rim.
Happiness: A full cargo hold or full pockets, depending on whether he's coming or going.
Lust: Yes
Anger/Hate: Jekran tends to view "laws" as "guidelines", and guidelines meant for other people at that, however he does have his own code and views on things. Slavery and abuse of children are guaranteed to get his back up, and while his career does have a considerble bodycount, he's takes a very dim view of what he views as unneccesary violence, particularly against innocents/people outside the business.
Fear: If Jekran does feel fear, a lifetime living and working in the darker underbelly of the galaxy has taught him it's not something you show, ever. He tends to use sarcasm and snarky comments as a means of dealing with it.
Sadness: Sentimentality isn't something Jekran finds terribly useful
Way of Things:
Fight/Flight/Panic: Fight
Sassy/Casual/Cold: Casual
Introvert/Extrovert: Extrovert
Calm/Eccentric: Eccentric
Alcoholic/Sober: Varies
Social/Reserved: Social
Lover/Fighter: Both
