BIOGRAPHY:


Gaajo Merilecu Sieren, child of Gofra Merilecu Tumin was born during interesting times, Clan Merilecu was at the height of its power in the “Garden of the Hutts”, rivalries were becoming fierce with neighbouring clans and the the Gulag Plague came to the Hutts. The normally resilient Hutts were as badly affected as the “lesser creatures” and in short order all but a handful of the powerful Merilecu Clan had fallen.
The then tiny Gaajo was a rare survivor. Fortune favoured Gaajo and he was discovered by servants of his ‘Uncle’ Mratha as his indentured serfs raided the corpse strewn halls of his fallen father. It has never been clear whether the plague or a coup was behind his fathers death.

From that moment he was raised as Mratha’s heir. At his Uncle's side Gaajo was instrumental in the rebuilding of the family holding, and the ‘consolidation’ of the fortunes that they could recover from the estates of the dead Hutt, rivals and Clan alike, following the plague. This morbid capitalism helped to ensure the Clans survival and eventual resurgence.

Gaajo was schooled in dealing with the underworld elements and the illicit trades, he formed extensive contacts and made a personal fortune in lucrative black marketeering, rare and often illegal substances, and blackmail.

But what Gaajo prefers to all of these activities is gambling. Early on he opened his first gambling establishment, and throughout his continued existence his favourite projects have been in establishing larger, more extravagant and daring gambling dens, casinos and race tracks.

Many of Gaajo's 'friends' of influence owe small fortunes at his gambling tables, debts graciously forgotten or suspended whilst they remain useful and loyal to Gaajo.

As Gaajo approached his third century Uncle Mratha was 'tragically killed' during a suspected terrorist attack on one of Gaajo's trademark Great Race Islands. The explosion killed over a hundred spectators in the executive specators yacht, including the suspected target; A republic senator died, a man of dubious morals and deep gambling debts to Gaajo, the attack would later be claimed in the name of a visible opposing faction to the senator.

In truth the event was an arranged assassination which conveniently put Gaajo in charge of his Clan whilst simultaneously causing the Republic's ire to be focussed on another rival of his.

Gaajo eagerly took on the responsibility of leading Clan Merilecu, the first order of business being arranging retribution against the unfortunate and astonished rivals now framed for a political assassination.

He has since consolidated his power base and has continued his expansion but with his first foray into assassination successful Gaajo seems to have developed a taste for political power alongside wealth, cultivating what ties he can with figures in power, favours carefully filed away for use in an as yet undisclosed plan.

Gaajo has is not without his own problems though, with distant Clanmates clamouring for attention, the interest of unconvinced republic officials still now investigating the cold cases. Equally greedy business partners, agents, freelancers, pirates and hangers on clamour for his attention whenever possible, all eager to have a piece of Gaajo's ever growing wealth.

Added to this the concerns of protecting his fortune from his own gregarious, reckless and habitually expensive child and its “little friends”.



SHIP:
Will have access to several ships, still need to define one.

KILLS:
None so far.

BOUNTIES COLLECTED:
None so far, more likely to be offering bounties than collecting any.

So that's the character concept, I have some things to think about and I would appreciate advice or suggestions.

First off, Factions. Hutt Cartel is the obvious choice, but I see there is also the Black Suns, which also claims to be the Hutt Cartel.. is there a great difference? Can you be part of both?

The character image is a placeholder until I find a more suitable image, any suggestions here would be appreciated.

If anyone has any suggestions on a ship that would suit this hubristic slug feel free to suggest it.

There is some more Bio to come, and I have a bit of a plot in my head in which Gaajo is secretly salvaging and refitting some ridiculously large ex navy ship, a derelict he has learned is abandoned in a forgotten asteroid belt. Its a tomb as much as it is a ship, the crew all succumbed to the plague a long time ago and it has sat wasting away ever since. Being a ridiculously ostentatious slug Gaaja has been endeavouring to refit and repurpose the remains of the massive hulk as a vast spacefaring casino/palace. Don't really know if that's far too over the top though.

Anyway, there it is, if anyone would like to suggest any background links or past encounters/rivalries/business partners I am more than happy to oblige, also if anyone ever fancies playing Gaajo's rebellious child I would be open to discuss that.


Hopefully I can get this character into some rp shortly once I sort a faction.
