Superemo -> RE: Rise of the Jedi OOC (Applications open) (1/9/2015 20:14:01)

I've been working on multiple things, one of which is the application for this game.
Name: Zlebu
Species: Toydarian
Lightsaber: The lightsaber handle is a finely polished metal tube, at first glance almost completely indistinguishable from a piece of pipe. The activation mechanism is is a well-hidden button with virtually no way of telling where it is positioned aside from guessing or muscle memory. Upon activation, it emits a yellow blade.
Skills: Being a Toydarian, Zlebu is capable of flight, and typically flies instead of walking. He incorporates this into his combat style, giving him a rather range of evasive maneuvers normally only available to the most accomplished acrobats, as well as the ability to hit someone from almost any direction. Additionally, due to his species and upbringing, he is rather resilient against any attempts at persuasion, Force-influenced or otherwise.
History:
"Huh? You want to know about me? Don't you already know me? You've been training me for all this time... Oh, you're asking because you're recording this! That makes sense, because I'm one of the first new apprentices in a while. Makes sense to keep track of exactly what qualities you're going to look for in the future." *Laughs*
"But seriously, before you guys showed up, I didn't think I was anyone special. I was just another trader... Fine, but, since this is being recorded, I'm saying aloud that anything I say from this point forward is not an admission of guilt or statement of fact, and that the following may or may not be exaggeration, hearsay, bragging, or outright lies. What's more, any proven illegal actions have been shown in court to have been the result of my former co-pilot's illicit dealings and connection to a Hutt who shall remain nameless. Some people claimed I ran a smuggling operation in addition to my shipping and trading businesses. I do own a ship that would, by no large stretch of the imagination, be suitable for such endeavors: the Hidden Hand, a F9-TZ transport, and the only thing I ever bought from my father, who was known to... buy things from people, then sell them to other interested parties. The Hidden Hand actually belonged to my mother, a pilot who people also baselessly accused of being a smuggler, before she was shot by a gangster she had absolutely no business connections to, who was offended that she refused to run any of his smuggling jobs. Her cloaking device could have come in useful if I were to ever have run shipments I didn't want people knowing about. But I'm going to stop talking about that now, because it was a decent amount of time ago, and any further discussion of that could result in me saying any number of things, including names, dates, and trades that I may or may not have a connection with. If I'm going to talk about anything in significant detail, it should be about how I came here.
"Without giving any context on my business there, I was on Bespin one day, overseeing the unloading of a shipment, which was not my property and I had not been informed of the content of said shipment, from the Hidden Hand, when one of the workers unloading the shipment suddenly lost control of the mover. I, being extremely upset at the potential loss of life and slightly upset at the possible loss of whatever was in the containers that the worker was moving, flew in front of the mover and braced for impact, hoping to at the very least slow its descent by pushing it back slightly. What normally would have been an ill-thought move, though, was a stroke of genius, since it turned out I was right: I could move things without touching them. People always claimed I was off my head when I said I moved something without touching it. Everyone but my mother doubted me, but I proved it. In front of a bunch of people who apparently have connections at some level to a few names I don't feel comfortable saying on record given their status as known smugglers, but who are in contact with Master Luke. You guys eventually tracked me down when I was in Mos Espa for reasons completely unrelated to any sort of business I may or may not be associated with, and invited me to join up with them. I, being a 14-year-old pilot, figured you had the wrong Toydarian, but when you mentioned the incident on Bespin, I knew you meant me, and you showed me that you could do the same thing, but with more control, I figured joining up with you guys to help people out was a better idea than ending up a trader whose only accomplishments were... trivial, and certainly not worth mentioning."
Zlebu is approximately 1.3 meters tall, and slightly less rotund than most Toydarians. His eyes are a pale yellow color, and, as is typical for his species, he has no hair aside from some stubble on his chin. His skin has a blue-green pigmentation to it, aside from the cream-colored gut also typical of his species.
