To those unfamiliar with the Nautolan species, Raiju Kang must appear as a half-breed between a man and a squid. Standing just shy of six feet, the amphibious humanoid has large black fish-like eyes dominating his face above a sharp pointed nose directly below them and a strong jawline exhibiting his humanoid features. Surrounding the creature's right eye is metallic plating, hinting at the cybernetic implant that was made to replace the injured eye. Mottled green colours the Nautolan's smooth, rubbery skin and instead of sporting hair upon his crown like most humanoids, flowing off the back of his head Raiju has ten remaining of his original fourteen head-tresses - each decorated with simple copper rings and hang down his back, freely moving about with his own movement.
It is hard to play in the mud, and not get dirty. A history of criminal activities has taught Raiju no greater lesson. Drinking, gambling, paying for sex, the frequent use of narcotics, and other vices have stopped being an occupational hazard and became a habit for the Nautolan after joining the Dark Brotherhood. These activities have directly lead to various debts in Raiju's name left across the organization - many beyond what could be repaid. This has left Raiju often looking over his shoulder for collectors or hoping the debt holder is willing to settle the in another way.
The reputation of Raiju Kang has been known to precede him, often by his own design. Tales of unbelievable acts have spread across Dark Brotherhood space and while some of this has a grain of truth to it as he is both capable, talented, and uncharacteristically lucky; other stories have been carefully crafted by Raiju's actions or embellished by his own tongue. The unbelievable nature of these stories has a tendency to sour first impressions with others, leading many to wonder about the Nautolan's credibility.
There is a saying that chaos is a ladder, a philosophy that Raiju Kang has embraced. Fueling his rise through the criminal underworld of his youth, the ranks and positions of the Brotherhood, and even once proclaiming himself Sith King of one of the clans; Raiju Kang will use whatever means necessary to further his climb and often has a scheme in place to get to the next rung. Yet, a fall from this height could be crippling or fatal - and there are no signs that the Nautolan will stop at the next rung.
Sometimes situations require more than bravo and a lightsaber. That's where possessing a talented tongue has done more for Raiju Kang than just making him popular with the ladies. When much of the known galaxy wants you dead or in chains, having the ability to see the logical benefit for both parties or in becoming "frienemies" can keep a Nautolan alive to see his next meal. Alas, some deals are meant to be broken, even planned for from their conception, if they don't keep the balance of power in Raiju's favor. However, it’s only a matter of time before people wise up and stopping taking the Nautolan for his word.
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. Raiju Kang? Raiju Kang doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Raiju Kang, 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, Raiju Kang isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Raiju Kang won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Raiju Kang will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
A lifetime of living on the edge through crime and war has given Raiju Kang a unique outlook on the conflicts of the galaxy. Where others see only the seriousness of the fight in front of them, Raiju will often interject his grim and ironic humour at the most bathos of moments. To those familiar with the Nautolan, this outlook on life can actually provide a sense of calm or inspiration amongst comrade at arms in the thick of battle. However, those that aren't familiar with the Natuolan will often be off-put by the grinning alien and find Raiju to be an eerie or even creepy presence on the frontlines.
