#lurmen

A WIP for a piece that I'm trying to finish!

(Team name and ship name/type undecided)

Ollio Moga: a Lurmen jedi trying to survive after Order 66. Even in these dark times he still tries his hardest to help others. He still harbors trauma both from the Order 66, and the killing of his master at the hands of his other student…

Nexa Torrin: a Thisspiasian inquisitor who betrayed her master, and her fellow student Ollio shortly before the end of the Clone Wars resulting in their master’s murder, though accidental it was. After an impromptu reunion, she was eventually convinced by Ollio to escape the Empire and join him and the rest of the crew. But despite her change of heart she still feels like the dark side is her chosen path. But that perhaps there’s more than one way to walk it…more than Palpatine’s way.

Arren Terask: Rodian captain and primary pilot of the ship. He was once a freight carrier for the Empire but wished for more beyond that. And it turns out becoming a getaway driver on threat of death was just the ticket to start going on the adventures he had always dreamed of. He’s remarkably positive and cheerful compared to the rest of the crew, both to their joy and chagrin.

Zontu Rodwell: Duros copilot of the team. Unlike Arren he wasn’t particularly excited about the idea of adventure, but unfortunately for him it found him and his coworker anyway. He often has to play the straight man to the antics of the others and keeps Arren’s imagination and delusions in check. Despite his grievances though he refuses to leave Arren’s side and will fight anyone who dares to harm him.

Bottle: A porg and the ship’s unofficial medic…seeing as none of the other members are. He carries around a backpack of medical supplies that the team can use in a pinch. In terms of personality he’s both cautious and curious as porgs tend to be. Arren and Khass are the ones who show him the most affection.

Biron Yorda: A shistavanen bounty hunter and the team’s weapon expert. He was the hunter who put a blaster to Arren’s head and told him to drive. He’s gruff and aggressive, and easily the quickest to draw his weapons of which there are many. But maybe deep down there’s a part of him that likes being part of the group.

Khass Rothaga: A kaleesh bounty hunter and muscle of the team. On the battlefield she’s easily the most terrifying of the group to fight and she’s a ruthless and brutal combatant. But outside of combat she’s one of the more lowkey members of the team. She never speaks and never takes off her mask, but compared to the other 2 hunters she’s more willing to make friends and help others. She was the one who convinced Biron and Yleeta to bring Ollio with them during a prison escape which ultimately led to him becoming a member of the team.

Yleeta: A jawa and the third and final of the three bounty hunters. Easily the most energetic of the three, her preferred style of combat is to rush in scatter gun blazing and cause as much chaos as possible. Although she does occasionally take he stealthier approach of disguising herself as a regular junk salesman jawa to bring people’s guards down. After all, nobody really thinks much of jawas anyway, and thats always their first mistake. She speaks basic more fluently than most expect a jawa to but still resorts to jawaese when calling people rude names.

Terazok Quay: A parwan that was hired by Zontu to be the ship’s onsite mechanic after it started breaking down more and more. He works alongside his astromech R7-25 and keeps the ship running smoothly. Though initially he was simply a hired mechanic, he eventually became integrated into the team itself (still at a price) and assists them in their crazy and dangerous adventures. Back during the clone wars he was at first a designer for the separatists before being fired after his first design was tested in battle…the hailfire droid…a droid that was ultimately too expensive and impractical to continue production (in his own words and heavy french accent “art is not SUPPOSED to be practical!”) He then defected to the republic as a simple mechanic for their gunships (though he continued to propose designs for them that were invariably turned down). And as a team member his penchant for cool but ultimately impractical weaponized vehicles continues with his giant mech that he does battle with whenever necessary.

R7-25: idk I haven’t thought about it much.

Lurmen were a mammalian species native to Mygeeto. A peaceful people, the Lurmen suffered enslavement under the InterGalactic Banking Clan, leading some to seek their fortunes offworld. Their culture valued cooperation and patience.
