Name:
Zhon Minas
Race:
Human
Age:
25
Birthplace:
Iridonia
Allegiance:
None
Status:
Bounty Hunter
Rank:
N/A
Height/Weight:
Height: 5'9" Weight: 122 lbs
Appearance:
Zhon is a fairly average human, with lightly tanned skin, black eyes, and black hair. He has a slightly thin build, but still packs a decent amount of muscle. His features are small, and he keeps them as plain as possible, from short, nearly buzz-cut hair, to occasionally making fine lines of ash under his cheekbones to make his face appear thinner and less appealing to look at.
Zhon dons very light clothing, which suits his light, maneuverable style of bounty hunting. His most common outfit consists of blue pants, which would be considered sweatpants in our world, if not for how they tighten up at his ankles, a tight black shirt, which is basically a tank top with sleeves, and a brown jacket. However, when on more stealth-based missions, he has a dusty, battered set of armor, which he occasionally redecorates to emulate the armor of different factions. He also tons of traditional clothing, so he can live normally when not bounty hunting.
Personality:
Very stern and hardset, and focuses only on the mission at hand, keeping a serious and professional attitude when he is collecting bounties. However, when not on a job, he takes on a very witty and charismatic personality, always making retorts and little witty remarks. He does have the weird habit of consuming enough alcohol to get tipsy, but never drunk. When asked about this, he always says the stench and illusions caused by becoming drunk would be disadvantageous in his line of work. He feigns trust and association with others, while truly always glancing over his back.
Ships/Vehicles:
A very standard S-1-T Swoop class stunt fighter, which is small enough to be perched in hidden places.
Equipment:
Carries a few small vibroknives, and a standard light blaster. He also carries a small vial of bacta, in case of serious injuries on the job.

Biography:
Saying that Zhon Minas had a rough birth would be an understatement. His father was a Zabrak, who had a wife, who had a genetic problem which led to her being almost comepletely infertile. So, his father romanced a touring human on Iridonia, and had a human child with her. Worried about his legacy, he abandoned the child and murdered the mother, tossing out the bloody vibroknife with the child, hoping someone would kill it, thinking it was a monster child. However, his plan didn't work as planned, as a rodian bounty hunter named Zi'do found him, and thinking the child was the one who had killed with the vibroknife, took him up as an apprentice.
The rodian, thinking the child was a natural at the vibroknife, would teach the basics of it to young Zhon, eventually resulting in him preferring it to many other weapons, and self-teaching himself a array of skills with it. Of course, his skills with the vibroknife somewhat transferred into vibroblades, but, he would never reach the skill he had on the vibroknife on even an weapon as similiar as a regular vibroblade. By thirteen, he was capable of assasinations only using a vibroknife, even those against better armored and equiped foes, by using expert planning, surprise, and overwhelming agility. His unpredictability made him a lovely asset to the almost cliche gear of Zi'do, who was always competing with others almost identical to him in skill, only winning jobs by presenting Zhon.
Eventually, Zhon became such an asset to Zi'do that Zi'do took him to a martial arts trainer he knew to learn more techniques. The cost would be fairly steep, and a cost that Zi'do would put on Zhon. Zhon was still incredibly grateful, and took on a few odd jobs without Zi'do, eventually paying off the debt. However, while on a mission that required great espionage, he was instructed on basic investigation, and was a very strong asset to the team of bounty hunters assembled for the mission, until a nearby Jedi intervened and attacked the team, causing Zhon to fear them. He only survived due to his Teras Kasi, which was made to counter Jedi in combat. He escaped, and silently vowed not to become a Jedi hunter.
Zi'do eventually brought up a mission that, as they would figure out mid-mission, would paint a target on them from the Hutts, as they were to kill a few crime lords working under the Hutts. Although this did not affect them for a while, they eventually were tricked into a job that was a trap, and they became trapped in a factory. On the way out, Zi'do realized they were doomed. So, he literally and emotionally shocked Zhon into paralysis, revealing how he only wanted Zhon as a tool for missions. This is what really caused his mistrust of others, and led to his capture by the Hutt forces. Although he was only 16 at the time, the Hutts thought he would prove an asset, enslaving him, and sending him on missions with other bounty hunters, not running away for fear of recapture and the painful death that would await him.
So, for two years, he was sent on missions, sometimes with some of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy. Knowing he was a slave to the Hutts, they taught him nothing, but he grew faster than he would have with Zi'do in the pressure of such a company, knowing that when his usefulness expired, he was a goner. However, he eventually was sent on a mission that would prove his growth: a mission with Zi'do. He had been informed beforehand that Zi'do did not know that the mission was a trap, since he was given it by a hireling of the Hutts. So, he bluffed that he had escaped, and he pretended to harbor no grudge.
However, the mission went according to plan. Midway through the mission, he was eventually able to split up from the rest of the hunters recruited, except Zi'do. They had been fighting loads of droids in the factory, a factory not unlike the one where Zi'do had abandoned him. As they sat down to rest up a little, the second Zi'do relaxed up, he got a knife to the head. That kill was then played off as incompetence on the part of Zi'do, who he pretended was killed by the bodyguards of the target, a tycoon inspecting the factory.
So, the Hutts were impressed, and began letting their guard down around him a little. Every mission was a confidence and skill booster to Zhon. After he had learned the in and outs of the Hutt fortress where he was held, he began using all his skills to get out. He used his interrogation skills by persuading the guards to show him the key as proof that the cage could be opened. As they approached, he used his martial arts to take the key, and, once out, stole their weapons, taking a vibroblade and using it to get to the armory. There, he found a multitude of vibroblades, and replaced his vibroblade for them, and snatching the first blaster he found. He easily escaped, now with an even bigger target on his back.
After seven more years of hunting, he now has found his niche: taking down guarded figures. He has taken down countless nobles and business tycoons, including a few Hutt allies. Although he avoids the Hutts, he is able to take many other jobs, mainly those that targetted the Hutts. They may be the largest Cartel, but they weren't the only. Saving up his money, he bought himself a small ship, and now travels the galaxy, bringing home the bacon by bringing buyers heads.
Roleplay Sample:
He smiled. After a week of planning, Zhon had formed a plan to take down this man. He was a gang leader, and, while unknown to Zhon, apparently had a nice price tag on his head. His buyer would give enough credits to last him a few months, and he had figured out why very recently. He readied his vibroknives, and began his plan. The alleyway held an entrance to the lair of this gang, and the leader was now walking towards it, with his squadron of goons and bodyguards. Zhon had stalked him, across Coruscant's Underworld. He had crept through a few small alleyways, eventually finding an overhang. He leapt, with an elegant landing and a graceful approach, he was upon them. Instantly, the group retreated closer to the entrance, with the leader running into the base while the guards defended.
Instantly, Zhon landed a kick, and started landing strikes on their necks and temples with his vibroknife. Whenever they went for an attack of their own, he would dive under their legs, land a kick or a punch, and keep striking. They had better armor, but were very clunky and slow. So, he eventually got the best of them. He muttered, "That took too long," and headed after the target.
He ran in, only to be confronted by a multitude of enemies. He confronted them, but knew he would not storm through them. So, his first instinct was to leap at the first one, sheathing his blade, switching to a bare-handed technique. He instantly clapped his hands where the weapon was held, pulling off a twist and snatching the blade. He chucked it at a few others, buying some time. He then revealed his vibroknife, engaging in heated, very close combat, filled with very close hands. Everything went by fast, and, being the fastest moving one there, he definitely had the advantage.
Eventually, he had an opening, and dived through, landing right next to his target. He then took a swipe, and killed the target, running to the side to avoid the incoming attackers. He spotted a nearby passage, and ran in. The plan was working so far, all he had to do was execute three more steps and escape. He leaped off the wall of a very fragile passageway, throwing rubble into the path of his pursuers and causing the structure to crumble a little. Next, he chucked a vibroknife into a switch that controlled a blast door, forcing it up, opening the blast door up. He finished it off by hopping onto a ladder to an upper passageway, heading to the higher floors, where his ship was. Mission successful. He smiled again.
