 Sobek "Deeplurker" "Many live in fear of Death. They fear the dark that comes after... but in the Deep, there is only dark. No life. No death. Just dark... and the creatures that inhabit it." Full Name • Sobek Nickname • Deeplurker Race • Barabel Birthplace • Barab I (laid), Nal Hutta (hatched) Age • 21 Gender • Male Sexuality • Pan Faction • Fringe Concept • Slave/Gladiator: Individuals forced into illegal and often fatal gladiator games on top of other demeaning and abusive activities at their master's whim. Generally viewed as scum or are considered pitiful although some hold them in high regards if successful in fights. Have very low standing in society and are occasionally bounty targets. Languages • Basic, Barabel, Huttese Assets • Tattered hooded robe, tattered cloth pants Appearance Face Claim • Edited image of the Lizard Height & Weight • 7'6", 400 lbs Overall Looks • By Barabel standards, Sobek would be considered an attractive man. With an angular jaw, intimidating teeth, and a towering physical stature, he stands out even among the larger species of the galaxy. He holds an exceptionally athletic physique, credited to his fighting career and constant training while in containment alongside his species' natural genetic advantage. He also has razor-sharp, retractable claws on both hands and feet, hands large enough to grasp the head of a fully grown human, a heavy, 4-foot long tail, and a sharp tongue which he occasionally flicks out to taste his surroundings. The most intimidating and unsettling part of his appearance, however, are his glowing red eyes that seem to always being staring and observing others, almost like how a primal beast watches its prey. Beyond those physical attributes, Sobek has a very thick hide covered in blaster-resistant scales and a thick layer of muscle and fat that helps his species stay active in cold environments. His harsh upbringing has left his mark and much of his body is covered in combinations of burn, stab, and laceration scars that he's accumulated over the years. He also bears a large brand on the center of both his chest and back, indicating his status as a slave. Fashion-wise, Sobek has hardly held any clothing beyond meager torn rags and cloaks and thus, has little care for appearance or shame. Much of his life has been spent in the nude, being showcased for both violence and sexual intentions, and so he holds little in the way of reservations about his own or other's bodies. Personality Profile Sobek is an unnervingly quiet and surprisingly patient individual, such to the degree that he is constantly viewed as a mindless beast and sometimes outright stupid. In spite of that appearance, though, the mind within him is deviously sly and tricky and he holds a natural affinity for fast, observational learning. He is extremely attentive of his surroundings and individuals around him, able to find escape routes and evaluate individuals very fast. However, his own natural distrust of others mixed with the nature of his upbringing has led him to be drastically anti-social and distrustful of strangers. He has little patience for conversation unless he values the topics being discussed and generally holds others in silent contempt until they show themselves worthy of trusting. Another aspect of his personality are his inner demons. Unlike most in his position, Sobek demands respect through sheer presence and while he still submits to the will of his master, he gives little attention to those who think they're superior to him. To achieve this respect, or at least fear, Sobek willingly shows predatory and danger-emitting behavior including excessive staring, verbal threats, and assault in extreme cases. While many slaves hold explosive tempers that simmer and die over time, the Barabel seems to prefer to seethe in his own anger and frustration, using patience as a temperance for his inner anger. This presents him as a threat as this dangerous aura mixed with his naturally ornery appearance usually does more than enough to ward off curious strangers and intimidated slave-owners. Those negative aspects of his nature aside, Sobek holds high regard for worthy combatants and loyal character traits. To him, survival and overcoming any obstacle are his ideals and thus he doesn't show much regard for cowards, turn-coats, complainers, or doubters. He achieves or he dies. His view of the world and others is naturally framed by those ideals and thus he is not keen to show signs of weakness or uncertainty. His fighting style reflect his perspective as well as he is willing to fight exceptionally dirty unless agreements are made not to and he tends to go for highly damaging if not outright fatal attacks from the very start of a confrontation. Any who are willing to confront him or challenge him are subject to his seething rage and terrifyingly gory methods of killing. He stops at nothing to reach his goals. Pain will not stagger him and death will not halt him. Background Father • Unknown (Deceased) Mother • Unknown (Deceased) Siblings • Unknown (Deceased) Other Important Connections • None Overall History • *WARNING: SOME ASPECTS OF HIS BACKSTORY MAY BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE AND INCLUDE INSTANCES OF PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SEXUAL ABUSE* Sobek the Deeplurker's life began as a single egg within a cluth on the Barabel homeplanet of Barab I. Unknown to him, his life would be preceded by tragedy as only weeks after being laid, his entire family including his father, mother, and his clutch-mates would be wiped out in a bloody conflict with a gang of overly-ambitious slavers. Unhappy with the losses of their men and the low reward they would receive from but a single captured Barabel egg, the slavers quickly sold Sobek's egg to a Hutt gangster on Nal Hutta where he would eventually hatch in 3580 BBY. Sobek's upbringing as a child was especially cruel. He was taught at a young age not to question, not to investigate, and to blindly follow his master's whims. They were hard lessons for him to learn and eventually his disregard for his captors led to increasingly cruel methods of punishment for his failures and transgressions. These punishments ranged from beatings and whippings to electric shock torture and brandings which quickly sowed the seeds of seething fury in the young Barabel. Once his behavior improved, or at least seemed to, he was introduced at the age of 5 to gladiator fighting. His initial fights proved nearly deadly as he was untrained and ill-suited for combat at his young age. However, seeing an opportunity for long-term investment, his master brought in a numerous amount of combat and athletic trainers, each with their own pieces of advice and harsh training to instill in Sobek. For 4 years he trained, growing at an exponential rate in both physical size and skill. He learned to use and combat numerous fighting styles, techniques, and weapon types ranging from unarmed combat to marksmanship and swordplay. While the methods were brutal and they undeniably affected his psyche, Sobek was successfully turned from a young, curious reptilian into a blood-thirsty, sadistic, merciless monster. At 9 years old he was thrust into the gladiator rings once more, this time drawing the awe and terror of both spectators and combatants alike. Over the next 12 years he would quickly grow in infamy around the outer rim territories for his brutal efficiency and ultra-violent killing methods. His master capitalized so well on his successes that rumors and whispers of Sobek's true nature quickly spread among slavers and slave-masters and many hold him in mind as a senseless killing machine who is more beast than man. In the year 3591 BBY, Sobek is more mystery than actual slave. Rumors within slave circles speak in whispered tones of Sobek the Deeplurker, a reptilian creature who is kept in the dark cells beneath his Hutt master's palace on Nal Hutta. He is said to feed off the corpses of his kills and seldom holds a rational thought beyond murder and violence. However, in truth, Sobek lies within the dark of his master's home, seething in anger and defiance towards his pain-filled existence. While he occasionally experiences the fruit of his master's "kindness" in the form of prostituted sexual escapades with clients, Sobek always yearns for the feeling of freedom the gladiator rings bring him. Now, he merely waits, using his time to obsess over how he will enact his revenge against his captors. |
