[F I S H]

-------------------------------------------------------ABILITIES?

​

|FORCE.SENSISTIVITY- NONE! But his innate physical intuition is often mistaken for force sensitivity
|OVERAL.DESCRIPTION-
• When an extremity is cut off and/or stripped from the body, flesh will reform almost instantly from the stub. These 'extensions' can take various forms (explored below) and once removed - for a second time - two more grow in its place. Over time, however, they will grow back into the original limb. The time it takes for the wound to heal depends on the location and severity of the wound. Ex. He'd be stuck with the extension(s) for a day or two for a full arm to grow back. Fish has almost complete control over the growths, similar to the use of a finger. Extensions only sprout from the half actively associated with the rest of the body.

•Retractable antennas that can sense severe surges in emotion, gives him resistance to most poisons and toxins as well as having a physical intuition he describes as just trusting his gut...it’s always right. Increased sensitivity to sound

|EXCEPTIONS- Head is separated from body or torso split in two, both ends would sprout growths and hopefully crawl/make an effort to reattach themselves.
|EXTENSIONS- Tentacles - with suckers - (most common form), Tendrils, Bulbs, Scales, A sharpened point, 'Toothed worm mouths' (?)
|CONCEPT.ART- Art not mine
|SYMPTOMS- He has heavy - dense bones. His blood has restorative properties...Ex he can heal someone else’s wound with his blood. He doesn't bruise or show signs of injury besides his 'clear blood' and the scars that form. Extremely sensitive to touch and pain.
|POSITIVES-
+ Experiences increased strength
+ Heightened sense of touch ,
+ He can extend/lengthen the growths as well,

+ Cannot die from physical injuries (unless bran waves are terminated) or sicknesses to some poisons
+ His metabolism has slowed significantly and he will not age normally (For a human at least)
+ Great advantage in terms of pickpocketing (The tendrils can easily slip in and out of a pockets and purses with wallets in their grasp)
+ His bones are equivalent to rock, his punches can knock a man out in one swing and the saying 'what are you gonna do...sit on me?' has actual leverage in Fish's case (He's a heavy boy)
|NEGATIVES-
- Can’t get rid of them...once the tendrils grow theres nothing he can do to make them go away until the limb is completely healed (however long that may take)
- Limbs cannot be reattached - once cut off they cannot be reattached. Only heal
- Theres somewhat of an incentive to keep this talent hidden in terms of other figuring out his quirk and using it to his disadvantage...Constantly covers up his hands in wrap to hide the scarring on his fingers
- Intense increase in sensitivity to pain - stubbing his toe will have him down and out for awhile (he’ll bawl like a baby)

- Due to detachable tendons, they will sometimes pop off (Without Fish telling them to) and prohibit him from moving whatever muscle it was attached to until it drifts back. For example, a tendon may decide to detach itself from his knee or arm and will be unable to bend said limb until the tendon attaches itself back. He cannot do anything to speed up this process.
- Likewise his increase in sensitivity to pleasure can have its downsides too. Since he’s developed an odd yearn for human touch and is similar to a dog or pet in terms of he enjoys being ‘pet’ or ‘scratched’ - especially near his antennas (so like pretty much his head) Can be a victim to this in terms of loosing himself - like a dog when you get their spot and their leg just starts going
- Due to a heightened sense of touching and eyesight during the darker hours of the day, his senses of smell and taste are considerably lacking.
- With bones as heavy as stone, he's no delicate flower. Will break fragile things easily in his grasp, if he sits on them, steps on them, etc. Bull in a china shop
- He is still extremely weak when regarding this ability, he hasn’t really had the strength or brain power recently to work on controlling or improving himself. The majority of his abilities haven’t even surfaced yet. He’s still got lots to learn and master.
----------------------------------------HISTORY?

Spoiler: In depth History

•Originally born on Balosar but due to the “polluted, poverty-stricken world of grimy factories and downtrodden people, and a place where tourism was discouraged. Such an environment encouraged many of the native Balosars to become criminals.” air to the planet, his parents made fast to devise the plan of giving him away to the first merchant or pilot that landed and smugging the child onto their ship. From the very beginning Fish was just a smuggled little scoundrel heheh. Fish remembers nothing of his biological parents and has assumed that they were dead (although he still hesitates to believe this notion and deep down wishes to be reunited - and yet he has no idea how to start on that)
•His new guardian was a young 20 something smuggler, treasure hunter and up and coming outlaw attempting to make a name for himself and to gain a couple hundred credits doing it - he associated with various cartels and large gang organizations that would hire just about any expendable, excited ‘bounty hunter’ to do their dirty work. It was here that he was lovingly tied with the nickname ‘Fish’. From when he was old enough to handle a ship to when he was old enough to be trusted with a gun (so lets say 7-11) he was the get away driver. Very useful in the art of smuggling/thieving, Due to this exposure Fish is very handy around a ship in terms of repairing and flying (especially in chases + high speeds). Eventually he was invited on escapades and utilized in heists (he was a child so...fast, small and agile) + also his little antennes alerted them of danger nearby. although his guardian never let him wield a blaster in fear of him hurting himself or others. He was too young to be killing people.
•His guardian was a Corrupt Bothan who went by thousands of different aliases and personas, but to Fish He was just known as ‘Bucket’ Bucket was less of a father figure and more of an older brother for Fish, and had gone by the name Bekst before the little boy deemed him ‘Bucket’.
•Anyway, they lived and grew together for 11 years? (Fish had just turned 12) when the empire finally snagged the duo during a rigged set up - Bucket’s bounty was growing too high for the cartels and organizations , their ship (which turned out to be contraband) and almost all of their posessions. Fish was only questioned briefly before being sent to an orphanage in Coruscant. They found him to be heavily ‘convoluted’ and influenced by his guardian, and thought that he was young enough to have his ideals and morals ‘fixed’ by sending to a more affluent, aristocratic life, empiric lifestyle. He was deemed innocent for all crimes and therefore easily picked out by a wealthy couple soon after he was sent over.
•The wife - a politically involved chiss named Reena Otim'criree and the husband - the captain of a squadron for the empire (a human corellian) named Corm Otim'criree and he was often not home. Fish was forced into an education and stripped of his loving nickname, instead being referred to as Wilksee or Willie (both of which he despised). Reena was strict in terms of making this boy presentable in a public and professional circumstance, and often took him to dinner parties and other political events she was invited to for the purpose of exposing the boy to such an affluent setting. He learned multiple languages during this time and the lavish art of bullshitting (lying). Also during this time he made bank by selling jewelry, diamonds, art, and other valuable house pieces in the underbelly of coruscant’s black market. He made a name for himself in more ways than one, and eventually his hosts found out. Reena and Corm were vicious with their punishment - they sent the boy to a Empire army academy (he lived with them for 3 years, he was 15 when they sent him off)
•Fish wasn’t yet sure how he felt about the empire or being trained to become a weapon of mass destruction for them. Either way, he planned on getting the hell out of there the moment he stepped off the aboard the ship. The academy was located in space (a ship ofc) and ensured that students couldn’t escape. There was little academics learned here and more just physical combat, safe to say that Fish is more than capable of holding his own in a fight. He was rising the ranks of sword and blade ranked battle by the time he saw an opportunity to escape. He was still small in stature and could manipulate his size (shaving off limbs), and was persistent enough to smuggle himself off of the ship via a supply box. (Lived in boarding school for 2 years, 15-17 yrs)
•Fish rolled off the ship at the first stop - Molavar. Fish had escaped, and conveniently onto a planet with little enforcement let alone little population. The planet was an isolated and peaceful desert land with nothing more than some sordid and disreputable spaceports as well as some wearied and disinterested moisture farmers. No official towns or communities, just independent, lonely settlements. There was a multitude of smaller and run down set of outposts, although there was no guarantee that other folks would actually be tending the outposts. There are no jawas perusing the landscape so any crashed star ships or debris of the past is left unattended and free for ransacking - Perfect for Fish. He escaped into the desert wilderness with little left to his name - the only witnesses to his existence on this planet were some moisture farmers that he traded the little possessions he had for a collection of water, food and some rags to cover his mouth and nose from blowing sand.
•At first his next objective was to leave the planet, but thanks to it’s shotty spaceports and lack of interest from other planets and people, the only other visits to Molavar during this time was just the same empire boarding-school people that had come looking for Fish...1 or 2 ships were seen with little effort and investigation into the disappearance of the boy, no doubt they only looked into him for liability reasons. Either way, Fish vanished into the desert landscape and was engrossed in the - scavenger lifestyle for 2+ years. Very few ships landed in the docks since then but Fish keeps a keen eye on it, ready to pack up and stow himself away on another ship when the time comes. For now he is ‘stranded’ with nothing more than a rusted up escape pod to call his home and a speeder that he built with the help of the moisture farmers. He receives fresh food and water per week from the farmers in exchange for his ‘expertise’ in droid mechanics, he fine tunes or fixes any bugs in their droids/farming equption as well as bringing them any spare parts from fallen ships that he’s raided.
•He’s content and not all completely alone, He’s got Pest after all. Fish has become more confident in his collection abilities and knows a good pile of junk when he sees one. But holy hell... it sure would be nice to get out of here. He made a new ‘him’ , even changed his last name!

Spoiler: Short summary

•Fish was given up by biological parents to a pistol wielding hired theif and gun who raised him well into his early teens before the empire seized their operation.
•However, during this time, Fish became an extraordinary escape pilot (specializing in speed and quick thinking) as well as mastering the art of thieving, lying and deception - albeit they never let him have a go with a blaster…
•The empire sent him to an orphanage in Coruscant where he was quickly adopted out by an affluent couple whose fingers were in multitudes of political pies. Fish was turned into a rather fine, upstanding citizen who attended class at private schools and obeyed his critical parents.
•With a mother who dragged him into many upscale business parties and dinners, forcing Fish to brush shoulders with some of the most prestigious men and women in the upper political levels of the empire, Fish was required to become semi-fluent in a multitude of the most common space-wide languages as well as drastically improving his charisma and professional conduct.
•Nevertheless this era was short lived, for after being caught stealing and selling personal items on the black market, Fish was sent to a Empire army academy.
•Fish plotted his escape from the academy (Which was based on a ship, not on any stationary planet) with haste, but not before expanding his knowledge of hand to hand combat and warfare tactics.
•Stowing himself away on a transport pod, Fish landed on an isolated and sordid planet - Molavar.
•At this moment in time, Fish defines himself as a scavenger, roaming the sandy landscape of Molavar looking for remains of old star ships, escape pods or speeders.
