Physical Description: His species is most comparable to that of the Amarans. The sentient beings of Borleias were humanoid wolfish beings. Resembling tall, bipedal wolves. Ryucadonn's fur is grey with splotches of white scattered over him. Most noticeable of his would be one which creeps up the back of his neck, over the top of his head, only stopping below his eyes. The other is a 'glove' over his left hand stopping mid forearm. Ryucadonn is short for his species, barely over six feet. For his height though, he is thin, but well defined even with the fur covering him.
Professional History: Ryucadonn spent many years on a planet as the lone survivor of a crash landing, where he was able to tinker with and learn about the technology of the galaxy he had no knowledge of. Once rescued from this planet he was taken in by a band of smugglers and thieves, where he was taught from their infinitely more expansive knowledge than what he could just figure out. There, he preformed well and took great interest in why these new things worked and how they could be changed internally. Then, after many years, when he amassed a working knowledge of the galaxy he had suddenly been thrust into, he began working on his own and eventually broke away from the group.
Background: Born and raised in the massive jungles of Borleias in the Pyria system. There, he and his family lived in the giant trees, as all of his species did. This was a tactical advantage to the sentient yet primitive species of the planet. One upshot of this was that it allowed them to meet the deadly lizard-like impodas, whose main method of attack was to drop down on creatures from above, on the same plain.
However, things changed when the Empire landed on their planet. They eluded the Empire's scouts for a while but when confronted, the Empire's technology was barely held by the primitive efforts of Ryucadonn's species. The Empire, realizing the gold mine they had here, rounded up every last one of the creatures they found on Borleias with the intention of using them as slaves in the ever expanding boundaries of the Empire's hold.
En route however, the ships carrying the Borleians met up with a rebel ambush and an ensuing battle which left both sides in shambles and his ship on an unknown planet. Only a few survived the crash but he was the only one eventually left alive. During the following years he soaked up all the information he could from the computers in the still functioning but incapacitated ship.
In an amazing twist of fate a wookie, who had barely made it out with his life from a skirmish with the Empire, made an emergency landing on the planet. Between the two of them, after several encounters and botched attempts at acquaintance making, got the wookie's ship repaired well enough to get them to a haven. This 'haven' was nothing more than a band of smugglers and mercenaries. And Ryucadonn adapted to this new environment well, as his species was known to do. He eventually became fluent in his knowledge of the galaxy and life in it. That was when, in a burst of inspiration, he broke off from his group and set out for his own achievements.
Personality: Today, Ryucadonn is reclusive and choosy in his
appearances. He realizes that his profession takes him to that which is illegal
but, he also realizes that everyone can't abide by the rules. He is serious but
collected, an acquired taste.
Vehicle of Choice: He pilots a Starfield ship, model ZH-25 Questor, which he named Expanse's Wendigo. Ryucadonn found that a ZH-25 had the potential to fulfill his requirements. It expanded on the earlier Z-10 Seeker model. But the ZH-25 gave more cargo space and heavier attention to firepower and shielding.
Base Of Operations: Ryucadonn works out of his own little hole in the wall shop, buried in the tangled mass of Commerce City, where he works to repair and alter the plethora of gadgets on the planet. This is of course the front for his illegal, and certainly more profitable, one man operation. Consisting mostly of illegally modifying weapons and shipboard circuitry, plus the trade and sell of such goods or the occasional odd job.
Weapons:
Most notable of his weapons is his vibro axe which he carries around where available, however he normally must not let the everyday person see it. This axe he, of course, customized. This particular one he invested quite a bit of money and time into, compared to his first. It is collapsible so it is easily carried and hidden. He did however, add a low power deflector shield, capable of taking a few shots, should he get into a pinch.
The other is a blast rifle, similar to the bryar rifle, however, significantly more recent. He did tinker with this too. With the addition of his own version of a macroscope utilizing magnification and image resolution more commonly found in electrotelescopes. Ryucadonn doesn't carry this rifle out in public often, as it causes much suspicion. Though he does carry more regularly his blaster that is being more commonly seen in these times, a Mark II blaster cannon.
Form of Dress: Ryucadonn's fur of course covers him but it is much shorter than that of say, a wookie, so he must wear clothes. He most normally goes bare foot, very rarely wearing shoes. He does wear long, many pocketed black pants, that of course accommodates for his tail which sprouts from the small of his back. One item he is never without is his Mark II attached to his belt. Above that is a grey shirt, almost exactly his natural color, over top of which is a brown vest, sometimes left open.
If the environment asks it, then he might wear a black trench coat that almost sweeps the floor as he walks. He can sometimes be seen with a black cloth laid over his head and tied in the back, but not covering his ears. Working or not, he always has a long strip of a black nylon-like material about an inch in width which he wraps around his left hand. This helps in steadying it, needed for the incredibly delicate movements needed to work with micro electronics.
Superhuman Powers or Augmentations to Body: None
Abilities: Naturally heightened senses, especially sight and hearing. Precisely accurate shot with his blasters, especially the rifle, specialized scope combined with his own eyesight make for deadly precision. Extraordinary proficiency with the vibro axe, as it is very similar to an instrument that his people used to hunt some of the larger food sources on Borleias.
