STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
- I'm a Sssnake: Koltray has all the benefits of being a Fillithar, including sharp eyesight, silent locomotion, and the ability to squeeze into small spaces.
- All it Takes is One Bullet: This snake has spent his life refining the arts of the scum and villainy he's constantly surrounded by. His aim with a blaster is good, as is his knowledge of the streets, and how to track and acquire targets.
- Swiss Army Tail: Due to abuse as a younger man, Koltray lost his prehensile tail. Through a series of trials and tribulations, however, he's managed to acquire a cybernetic replacement. His tail has the space to contain a few hidden tricks to give him the edge, least-hidden among these is a rotary blaster cannon.
- Bandit Charisma: Despite his low-to-the-ground stature, Doc radiates danger. He takes up a lot of space in whatever room he occupies, and in talking with him, there is always a confident edge to his tone. He often comes across as fearless and in-control of any situation he finds himself in, which helps him intimidate targets, but also dissuades cooperation and can make him dislikable.
- Only the Strong Shall Rule: Doc has a simple philosophy that he employs, both in social situations, and in his jobs. Power deserves respect. Weakness deserves death. If who he is talking to, or who he is hunting, is particularly skilled, he will be more inclined to show them courtesy. If his opponent is weak, he will show no mercy.
-Spaghetti Noodle Western: Koltray has all the downsides of being a Fillithar, including a distinct lack of appendages, slower movement, and often being seen as nothing more than a snake in a funny hat.
- Look Ma, No Hands!: The fine motor skills required to do many things, such as wielding a blaster not attached to him, and lifting and dragging anything of exceptional weight, are difficult, if not impossible. He has only recently learned how to pilot a ship with any form of proficiency.
APPEARANCE:
To the average citizen of the galaxy, Doc looks like any other snake.
His body, just shy of fifteen feet long, is plated in scales of brown and tan, vaguely arranged in a square-like formation down his back. Crossing his body are a series of bandoliers, carrying spare power packs, and other tricks of the bounty hunter trade. His scales end abruptly at his tail, where dusty iron-colored cybernetics take over, ending in a cobalt-colored snake tale. When the gatler is activated, barrels shoot out from hidden compartments in the tail, creating a formidable blaster at his base.
His eyes, hidden under the wide brim of a hat, almost seem to glow with their own malicious power, reds and yellows bringing to mind the fires of Hell with the intensity of his stare.
BIOGRAPHY:
A Hutt's pet is a valued position for a slave in their court. At least, that's what they told Sallix.
His life began under the ownership of Zalada the Hutt, a prominent trader that traversed the galaxy selling arms and ammunition to the less-desirable people of the Outer Rim, from an enormous staryacht. Having never encountered a Fillithar, or any serpentine sentient, she purchased him young, thinking him to be an animal. As he grew for a few years, he was constantly at the side of Zalada, clinging around pipes, draped around her neck, and all the while observing her make deals and intimidate competitors. He learned from a young age the value of might makes right.
It was with his first words that Zalada's court realized he wasn't just a serpent. Delighted by the fact that her precious little pet could now speak to her, Sallix was added to her slave retinue, simultaneously pampered and subjugated. He spent his days this way for years, until adolescence, where he attempted and succeeded in escaping Zalada's grimy clutches, at the cost of his tail. Deposited on a space station with little-to-no experience, he made a living the only way he knew how; he sold information on Zalada. Through informing the Hutt's opponents of her secrets, he made quite a bit of money for himself, and simultaneously destroyed his pursuer's business. In that moment, she was weak. He was strong.
Sallix used the credits acquired to replace his lost tail, and learned more permanent ways to make money on the streets. He learned he had a good eye, and after grafting a blaster to his tail, a steady aim. There was plenty of need for a good shot, and despite looking more like a pest than a mercenary, he found enough to get by. Years go by, and under the new mantle of Doc Koltray, he currently works as a sharp, jaded bounty hunter, that will do anything to stay alive and stay on top.
