The Vulture
Butcher of Dead Worlds
The Vulture
-
The Vulture was not born into a clan, an Otkasi. Instead he was born to a lone mother fleeing from hunters who sought her life. The Hunt was not fast, it was not bloody, it was slow, cold, calculated, and she was certainly on the back foot and now having children to look after she was certainly doomed. Perhaps she was cruel, desperate, or uncaring but the results were the same. He and his siblings were sold, ransomed to Otkasi Süyekjïnagistar. The clan bought him not out of the goodness of their hearts, but the cold pragmatic need for more laborers, and as he grew up that is all he knew. He abandoned his name, only being referred to by whatever task or job he was assigned. It was only during conflict that he grew respected, his rage, his determination, and his need to survive saw him win triumph after triumph in the cramped hallways of enemy stations or the open quiet combat of space. This skill in battle caused him to grow ambitious... and reckless. All of this would lead him to challenge the Bastik, or leader of his Otkasi.
Insolent child, pathetic worm, weakling, these were the insults thrown his way as he was unceremoniously expunged into the vacuum of space in nothing but a sealed metallic orb to keep him alive just long enough to suffocate or starve to death. For many long days, he stared at nothing but the pitch black of his tomb, lacking even the company of starlight. He thought on many things, schemed, hated, screamed in rage, and tore at his carapace for answers and yet nothing came, nothing came for a long time. What did come was not anything he had ever even dreamed of, a Chiss Vessel saved him. Whether out of curiosity or that same pragmatic attitude that had caused Otkasi Süyekjïnagistar to buy him these strangers took him in. It is through his time, and ultimately his friendships with them that he learned the virtues that would guide him further than his rage or his determination. Patience, Perseverance, Outsmarting your enemy rather than attempting to overpower them. These things became his guiding principles. It is through these methods he once again challenge the Bastik of Otkasi Süyekjïnagistar, took control over it, and lead his new Otkasi to the ruins of Csilla, to scavenge this once great civilization.

Skills:
- Trained Swordsman: The Vulture is trained in hand-to-hand combat, specifically the martial arts of the Özeminar which emphasize two larger attack blades and two smaller parrying daggers used by their secondary arms.
- Marksman: The Vulture is handy with long guns as well, favoring long range single-shot rifles.
- Scion of Thrawn: Although by no means anywhere near a match for the capabilities of his idol, The Vulture holds Grand Admiral Thrawn in the highest respect and studies any material he can acquire on the man. This has led him to be a skilled tactician.
- Ship Monkey: Throughout most of his younger life The Vulture used his Özeminar's natural climbing abilities to navigate the complex sprawling network of wreckages and ships he lived in. This has given him exceptional climbing abilities.
Banes:
- Pride: Due to what he sees as his great accomplishments, he considers himself a dangerous pirate and expects the respect and fear that accompany such a title. Appealing to this pride is certainly a way to attempt to blindside or manipulate him.
- Özeminar Weaknesses: Similarly to all Özeminar The Vulture is incredibly vulnerable to poisons and disease, and although he has cybernetically enhanced himself and always wears his breathing apparatus that tailors to his species' unique biological needs for atmosphere, should poison or a bio-weapon be unleashed upon him it would surely cause incredible damage.
- Force Inexperience: Rarely has The Vulture interacted with force users of any discipline, to him it is difficult to understand and unpredictable making it a useful weapon against him that he must attempt to outsmart.
