Maelys is a master of the 'tricks of the trade' - the cheating and stealing trade, that is. With a certain propensity and natural talent for stealth and thievery, Maelys is a professional when it comes to crimes, from minor to major. Sometimes it is as simple as a few more favorable cards in a hand to a set of sticky fingers to something as big as a heist. Either way, Maelys knows his way around a job. However, everyone is bound to get caught eventually, and reputations have a way of finding a way to bite you in the rear. . . not to mention those looking to extract a little vengeance.

If it has an electronic circuit or gears,Maelys thinks he can fix it; everything from holopads to starships. To Maelys, even the most random assortment of scraps from a junkyard can be used to create something useful. he has a knack for fixing things that are broken, and his confidence in this ability borders on arrogance, and if he fails to fix something, he is prone to fits of anger and annoyance.

Maelys is often confused and heavily saddened by the amount of idiocy that constantly surrounds him. It is often much easier for Maelys to cope with people by ensuring he stays inebriated and dulling his senses. When unable to find alcohol for an extended period of time, Maelys will devolve into a ravenous, hate-filled monster that is nigh impossible to be around. In other words, Maelys is an addict.

Maelys has a knack for making heroic entrances whenever possible. This is actually something he works at, and one of these days, he might just be a little too late.

Maelys may wear a lightsaber at his waist, but he always goes for his trusty blaster instead, preferring to shoot it out from range rather than trying to get in up-close and personal. Only as a last resort will he go for his lightsaber.

When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Maelys? Maelys doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Maelys, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Maelys isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Maelys won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Maelys will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
