Background

Bang! A shot rings through the dark.
Thud! A figure hits the ground hard.
Opposite him, stands Mantis Toboggan, pistol still smoking in hand. This was just the usual day for Mantis in the time of the Republic when he was able to handle his business with no hassle from the Empire to come, Taking out criminals with a bounty on their heads came easy to the Klatooinian; since his youth, Mantis could handle a blaster with ease. Mantis was known throughout the galaxy for his prowess with a gun, taking all of the high risk bounties for himself and reaping the plentiful rewards. The money meant nothing to him. It was the reputation that drove Mantis in his endeavors.

But then, everything changed when the Empire took over work became scarce. Empirical taxes and supervision all but killed Mantis' career prospects. This lead Mantis to find fulfillment in other areas, namely drugs being dealt by some shady figures. An addiction to Neutron Pixie quickly lead his life to come spiraling down. First to go was the money and possessions. This still meant nothing to Mantis because all he wanted was his high to get by. Then came the hardest part. The name Mantis Toboggan slowly faded into legend, to the point where people across the galaxy doubted that he ever existed in the first place.

Out on both money and purpose, Mantis had nothing to live for. It had been years since the Empire came to power. Mantis now living in squalor could only vaguely remember his storied past. What he could remember, was that feeling of pure thrill and exhilaration of pulling the trigger, the feeling of being worth something in this galaxy, and to know that he had a purpose. After those many years and after the recent rebel victory at Yavin, Mantis finally understood what needed to be done. He picked up his only possessions, his two pistols, and decided to reignite the legend that was and is Mantis Toboggan.

Motivation

Mantis is trying to regain his reputation as the fastest, most accurate gun in the sector. He is trying to stay off the Neutron Pixie that took all of that away from him (emphasis on trying). If he can regain the money and possessions, that's just an added bonus for him.

Obligations

Addiction - 10 (Neutron Pixie)
The character has a strong addiction he must keep feeding. Whether it's a physical addiction to stims, dust, or alcohol, or a mental addiction such as gambling, law-breaking, or priceless antiques, the character devotes a lot of time, energy, and resources to pursuing or obtaining the object of his addiction. avoiding this Obligation has an almost immediate result-withdrawal. The exact nature depends on the addiction, but the character finds it increasingly difficult to concentrate on even mundane tasks, often reflected in the GM adding anywhere from ■ to ■■■ to skill checks.

Description

Dark brown skin and pitch-black eyes. A toothy underbite and a couple scars across his face. he carries himself with a swagger. typical space cowboy (think Clint Eastwood in the good the bad and the ugly except spacier). Possibly wears a fancy hat (pimp hat with a feather in it?).
