Equipment:
Travis Starlot's Armor: Travis Starlot's Armor was originally owned by that of his Trainer on Cato Nemodia. Though He and Travis lost contact, after Starlot and a band of Tribals staged a revolt against the Arena, he's still carried on the armor ever since. Starlot's Armor is the same make as many other Mandalorian Armors, with the multiple Body and Armor Plates, to protect against Shrapnel, (some) Blaster Fire, and different types of attacks, fitted ontop of a Thermal Tempature controlled Body Sock.
- Helmet: Travis' Helmet is equipped with an interior, UI display, providing Information, Targeting assistance, as well as Night vision or Infrared when it's needed. The Helmet is a Mandalorian Iron cast, with some VibroMetal lining the trimmings to allow for protection in a case a lightsaber were to strike or graze the Helm. The Helmet is Armored to protect against some Blaster Fire, only though if it's an indirect hit, or a very low level shot.
- Body: The Armor's Main Body and Plates are very well armored, and reinforced to be able to protect against Blaster Fire, aswell as Melee attacks. The Main torso, aswell as the back plates of the armor were reinforced, to be able to stop a direct hit to the User if needed. The Armor plates, which also goes aswell to other parts of the body, is able to have some resistance to Acids thrown on it, though not being able to stop them from burning partially through. The Armor also is able to withstand Fire, giving the User the ability to pursue through Incredibly hot areas, provided they also have the body sock under it, allowing them additional cooling.
- Gauntlets: Travis' Gauntlets are a quintessential part to his armor, As they allow him not only to move around, but a number of different options built in aswell as defense. The Gauntlets are reinforced with Mandalorian Iron, aswell as having Vibroblade material built into them, meaning in theory, the Gauntlets could be used to parry-block a Saber swing or any other Melee attack if the User is unable to dodge. The right Gauntlet of the suit is built in with an assortment of buttons and keypads, allowing the User to contact others through comms, Summon a sort of vehicle or ship, or even try to connect to a terminal. The Left Gauntlet is build in with a projectile launcher, being able to launch things from Darts, to even a mini distraction rocket. The Gauntlets are also equipped with a set of Restractable blades, Pure Vibro Blade. allowing the User to have a surprise advantage, Or a fallback Melee incase they're pushed into a corner.
- Jetpack: The Rocket Pack on the Armor's back is standard issue, just as the ones on any traditional Modern Mandalorian Armor are. The Jet Pack allows for Medium length travel for the User, being able to Elevate, or descend. The Rocket, however, has One, single use Rocket that can be activated (from the Gauntlet), then fired. Though the Rocket is powerful, it has to be manually reloaded afterwards, and are very expensive.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
Strengths:
+ Marksmanship: With the Mandalorian Warrior Creed comes the need to weild a blaster, Starlot has been trained in this art very well. He's able to shoot a target several meters away with a Blaster Pistol. Given a Rifle, he could possibly near double that distance. Though apart from sheer distance, he's also been taught to effectively Dual Wield, Hip Fire, Cover Fire, and other numerous types of Blaster Play. Though there are many a few who can hit targets, miles away with their blasters, Starlot's training makes him a formidable foe.
+ Mandalorian Melee Combat Training: When an Enemy closes the Blasting Distance to Starlot, the Mandalorian has also been trained in the Mandalorian art of Melee combat. The Mandalorian Melee Art is based on the ancient combat teachings of old, and after an intense, and formidable 8 years of training in the art, Starlot can be as skillful with a crude blade, as a Jedi is with their Saber. Though more skilled at his art with a Blaster, and his gadgets, given a Melee weapon, and Starlot can still be a formidable foe.
+ Hand to Hand Unarmed: If Starlot where to have his Blaster distance closed, and his Melee weapon lost from him, the Mandalorian is still a threat with his unarmed training. Like past Mandalorian icons, reflecting that of 'Jango Fett' who was able to take down 6 Jedi Knights unarmed, and Mandalore Ultimate, who slew countless foes with no weapons at all. Starlot is able to easily match anyone unprepared for an Unarmed brawl, and those who stand a chance, will still get a fight worth telling from him.
+ Charismatic Negotiating: Though as crafty and skillful as Starlot is with his Combat skills, his piloting, and his Mandalorian creed experience. He also has a knack for using his, less than perfect personality, to be able to Persuade, charm, and flirt through some situations. Though his personality has had a knack for getting himself into less than a few lifetimes worth of scrapes, Starlot has been able to accomplish some interesting feats with it. Like the one time during his early career he convinced a Rodian Guard to allow him to pass, slipping some needed credits her way. Or his most prominent, and daring yet, was how he convinced one of the Hutt Clan to forget his debt to them, after a long drinking session. Though Travis' personality leads to some less than savory situations, in the right light, it can be used to accomplish some interesting feats.
Weaknesses:
- Loud Mouth: There's a part of Travis' Attitude which causes him to get into many of the scuffles or incidents he's been in. Travis has a habit of not being able to really control the slander he says, and to someone like a hutt lord, or a prestigious Bounty Hunter, that could, and has been a problem for him.
- Lone Warrior: While being Independent can be a useful advantage, not being weighed down by the cons of being in a faction, or alliance, it also leaves Travis Vulnerable. He's an Independent Bounty Hunter, meaning he doesn't have the ability to have a Faction, or any sort of personal back up come to his aid. Though Travis has been able to avoid, or take down any sort of retributive drawbacks from past clients, future targets might not be so light on him afterwards.
APPEARANCE:
Starlot's Build is a more Muscular Build, from his routine muscle, strength, and combat training on his ship. Travis' Build he keeps to a standard, the 185 pounds he continues to work and keep to a muscular form. Starlot has a number of Scars, both from metal, debris, blaster fire, and any other dangers you'd expect to find roaming the galaxy. Though he takes pride in the Mandalorian Creed and Order he's taken upon to carry in his Bounty Hunting Career, Starlot does indeed have a face under the helmet. Under the Helmet Starlot has Dark Brown Hair, kept to a medium - short cut at all times to minimize hindrance during a fight. Starlot also has a full grown intermediate beard, same color as the rest of his hair.
BIOGRAPHY:
Travis' Upbringing was, to be honest, fairly boring when compared to the rest of his life, comparatively of course. He was born on the Mid Rim world of Mandalore, with his Widowed mother on a Farm. Like All Poetic Adventurers, Travis started out from these more modest roots, his Mother was a Tough, more independent woman ever since his Father's violent death. She'd been taken care of the farm, ever since Travis was born, and even 5 years before that. Travis about his mother, has said, "She was the toughest woman in the Galaxy, If the Empire saw her when she was angry, they'd walk the other way". Though she was Tough, and could manage the farm as Travis grew up, She was getting Old, and becoming much more tired from days of work on the farm. So Travis took it upon himself, at 8, he began to help her around the farm with labor.
Working on the Farm, Travis and his Mother, in the then very small Family clan name 'Star - Lout', worked to preserve and harvest their crops. It wasn't the rarest, or most expensive crop in the Galaxy, but the local town appreciated it all the same and paid them a pretty penny for it. Though as Travis' life was calm, docile, and a sort of status quo for the next 4 years, everything began to change at 12 when Travis first met his Uncle. His Uncle, 'Marus Star - Lout', stopped by the Farm, dawned in Mandalorian Armor with war paint markings on it. As He, and 3 other men entered the Farm, He could tell that his Mother was unnerved and distressed to see them. Though Travis was calm, being only 12, and incredibly excited to see Actual Mandalorians, here, in his farm. He kept his Blaster Pistol his mother gave him behind his back at all times.
As Marus, and his 3 colleagues forced their way through the door, they greeted his mother who was now visually uncomfortable. As Travis watched, he could see the mannerisms in his uncle, and his men were not at all like the Mandalorians he'd read and studied about. Still Travis kept calm as the 4 made themselves at home, he watched as his Mother sat down at their table with Marus. He could only hear tid bits, but he heard some words like "Warrior Clan", "Sell the Boy and the Farm", and and unknown name of "Karzak". Though his Mother denied all of them, his Uncle, became more and more aggressive, until finally flipping the large metal table to the side with one hand. As Marus struck his Mother, Travis finally snapped and struck, coming from behind the doorway of Marus, he took one of the Tool Knives and sunk it5 just below one of the plates on Marus' armor. Though the blade was stuck, Travis could hear his cry, and he knew that it did indeed to atleast some damage.
Travis then fired his blaster pistol at one of Marus' men as they forced their way through, hitting one square in the chest forcing him to fall back. But as he tried to blast another one, he was struck in the back of the head by Marus, knocking him cold onto the floor. All he remembers is his mother screaming, before being stunned by one of the men. The Next few years are still a haze for Travis to remember, even now, he remembers being dragged onto a Starship by 2 of the Mandos and forced into a cell. Then being sold by Marus, to a Cato Nemodian, where he was then cuffed and dragged off. After that, he was taken to Cato Nemodia, And after being dropped into a cage pit, he was forced to fight off a Pit Beast around his size. Though the Beast bit into Travis' arm, leaving bit scars that remain to this day, after taking a rock to his side, and striking the beast in the head, it fell off him and scurried off. The day after, Travis remembers a man, with a graying Goatee, inspecting him and chuckling as he said "So you're a Mando, let's see if you fight like one".
The Next few Years, Travis remembers being trained by the man, and in the process struck by sticks, clubs, and other melee weapons. The Training over the years was Grueling, intense, and hardened, though he managed to get through it all the same. Travis was then trained in Blaster Weaponry, trained by the man to know incredible accuracy of a Blaster or a Rifle, and to be able to shoot cans, and other small targets from across the rooms. Afterwards he was trained in Unarmed, Hand to Hand, and eventually after 8 years, he was sent into the fighting Arena at 20 years old. Before Starlot was sent in, the Man gave Travis his Mandalorian armor, a Red, Black, and Grey Armor set that the man said to have had for "3 decades before this". Travis was suited up, first in the under glove, then the plates connecting the pieces, and finally fitted with the helmet. The Man patted him in the shoulder, as he gave Travis the Arena Pistol and Dagger they gave ti fighters. Wishing him luck, Travis was raised up on the Elevator to the Ground Floor of the Arena, and so the battle began.
Travis fought in the Arena for what felt like days, the Armor Lacked a proper Mandalorian jetpack, so Travis made due with the Man's traning in Agility and movement. Starlot Fought with both Pistol and Dagger, being able to headshot some, but having to gouge and slice into others. It became routine, just like the two phases of his life prior, just routine, he knew this was an endless cycle, having to be obedient, taking this pain. And that's when Travis had enough, and grabbing one of the Arena's rifles, he started to not only fire at the beast and other fighters, but started to wipe then out as they came. Eventually different levels were sent in, after Round, every break he was sent back down to rest, that's when Travis formulated his plan with another group of fighters. Another Round started as Travis was sent up, however this time, the group of fighters sent after him weren't wiped out, they fought with the Mandalorian fighter. They staged a sort of mini revolt against the Guards sent in after them. Quickly taking them out with their outnumbering odds, a few gained the Jetpacks the Guards were equipped with.
As they jetted off, the Meager Alliance broke up, as Starlot took off for the nearby dense crowds outside of the arena to fight in, while the fighters quickly made their way to the wilderness. As Travis blended in, a Woman in robes quickly allowed him to take cover in his shop as the Guards swept over the town. The Woman had seen Starlot's fighting capabilities, and after he fought with the band of tribals, she revealed she was related to the leader Travis fought with. She thanked him, not only for standing up against the Nemodians in the arena, but saving her kin, by paying Travis in just enough credits to buy himself a passage off this world.
Travis quickly made his way to the nearest Spaceport in the town, buying a transport to Mandalore, he was not only excited, but relieved to be able to return home. That's what Travis felt, relief, not pain, obidience, routine, just relief and the feeling of being able to control his own life. Travis was ecstatic, and as he nearly jumped from the Ship he was on, using his pack to quickly jet home, he found......nothing. Nothing but Burned Ruins, his destroyed home, and under the native tree he'd used to pay around when he was a kid, he found a Grave, with a crude, weathered tombstone of metal stuck into it.
And That's when Travis broke, he knew who this was, he knew is was Marus, and after etching in his mother's name in the tombstone as they forgot, he set off. Travis was filled with Rage, Anger, and Hatred, he knew of the nearby gang, so as he nearly smashed through the door with his Armor, he began shooting up, and taking down the members one by one. He saved the leader for last, he remembered as they harassed his mother, but as the gang leader pleaded it wasn't him, he told Travis Marus was actually with the 'Karzak clan'. Nearly strangling the Leader for where they were, he told them of the small, nearly uninhabited moon off of Mandalore. Dropping the leader, Travis simply said to 'Get the hell of the planet before i need to scrape you off of it", as he stole one of their starfighters and shot off for the moon.
Arriving on the moon, Travis quickly hunted down the camp until he found it, a compound of a Mandalorian clan family build into the surrounding woods. Travis watched, as he saw young cadets playing the older, recognizable members in their armor talking and guard, and then with his binoculars he saw him. Marus, in the main hut, he was there, in his clan's lavish home. Travis couldn't handle it, he was right there, so taking one of the rifles, and suiting up his suit, he fired a rocket and blew up a huge hole wooden palisade wall as he entered. Travis' fight to Marus was tough, the Mandalorian warriors were no push overs, but Travis was able to knock them down all the same. One by one, he killed each of the Mandalorian Cadets, then the warriors, then, finally, kicked down Marus' door. The Old Man, surprised Travis survived his slavery on Cato Nemodia, was also surprised when Travis fired his rifle, bolt after bolt into the man. With rage, he fired at the man, even long after dead, until the fiery rage inside of him was burnt out completely.
As Travis left the Planet, Travis felt Lost, confused, and floated around the galaxy lost and confused for the next 2 years. That's when Travis' life took an upswing, and he became a bounty hunter. Finally Travis' life had some sort of calling, and putting his Mandalorian Skills and armor to use, he was able to make himself a decent living, as a (Semi -)Professional Bounty Hunter. Though not really killing the targets as much as cuffing them and turning them into their respective clients, Travis was able to make use of his excess anger and training. The Rage and Hatred soon became replaced with his now more common trait of Sarcastic instinct, and a more witty sense of the Galaxy. Over the next 10 years, Travis became a more or less semi well known bounty hunter, though more prominent ones still were able to pass him over.
As of now, Travis has accumulated a Good fortune of credits, though, many of which he's spent on acquiring better equipment, upgrading his armor, and his new ship "The Andromeda".
