PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Elijah Black cuts a striking figure with his tall, athletic build and sun-kissed blonde hair that frames a face adorned with a short, well-maintained stubbly beard. His features conveys a sort of rugged charm, accentuated by piercing, observant eyes that betray the wisdom earned through the highs and lows of his diverse journey.
His clothing is a blend of practicality and roguish flair. He often dons comfortable trousers, paired with a shirt and a vest or a leather jacket. On cooler days he just as likely opts for a long, weathered coat. He is almost never seen without his holstered blaster.
The scent that often lingers around Elijah is a distinct blend of dried leather, and the subtle aroma of whiskey that whispers tales of shared toasts and solitary reflections.
INVENTORY
Just a regular old blaster and a rundown light freighter.
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Elijah embodies a pragmatic approach to life. His confident and stubborn demeanor is balanced by a witty sense of humor. Though he has few friends, frienship holds paramount importance to him. Elijah is a mercenary with a conscience. He will do much for profit, but he won't sell out those he cares about. He tends to avoid involvement in morally reprehensible acitivies, and prefers victimless crimes, though he occasionally crosses his own line, reasoning that they'll get what they want anyway, so the money might as well go to him.
STRENGTHS
Self-belief: Displays an unshakeable confidence in his own abilities, facing challenges with audacity. He is decisive, and embodies the idea that doing something is better than doing nothing, even if you don't know what you're doing.
Pilot: A natural in the cockpit, with an affinity for flying. His extraordinary reflexes and daring maneuvers make him a highly skilled and audacious pilot.
Sharpshooter: Deadly accurate with blasters, making him a formidable opponent in both close-quarters skirmishes and long-range firefights. His precision and accuracy contribute to his reputation as a skilled and resourceful gunslinger, quick on the draw.
Force Sensitive: Innately gifted in the Force and a natural empath, he has previously undergone formal training, honing his abilities through structured instruction
WEAKNESSES
Self-belief: Occasionally veers into hubris. His overestimation of his abilities may lead to overlooking potential pitfalls and underestimating challenges. Jumping head first into situations without a clear plan can result in impulsive choices with unintended consequences
Loyalty: Doubling as a strength, his unwavering loyalty to a select few means he can be drawn out and made vulnerable. At the same time it creates a blind spot where he overlooks flaws in allies, as well as conflicting interests
Trust issues: He’s outwardly charming, but it can be tough to crack his shell. Once you do, however, he is fiercly loyal. This reluctance can lead to isolation and missed opportunities for collaboration
Limited arsenal: Despite being a sharpshooter, he has a preference for specific types of blasters and may struggle when forced to use unfamiliar or unconventional weaponry. He typically does not carry many different weapons.
HISTORY
Born on a farm on a remote world, Elijah Black's early years unfolded in simplicity. Discovered to be Force-sensitive at a young age, he was swiftly recruited to a Jedi enclave where he began his training as a Padawan learner. But that was a long time ago…
These days he makes a living as a pilot and smuggler. He tried, for a time, to make it as a cargo pilot, but the money simply wasn’t good enough. The real reason, however, is that it was too mundane and held none of excitement he craved.
