To those unfamiliar with the Nautolan species, Raiju Kang must appear as a half-bred between a man and a squid. Standing just slightly 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. Mottled green colour 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.
Distinguishing Marks:
Left Hand: From his finger tips to an inch above his wrist, Raiju's hand has completely been discoloured black like charcoal - received from one of Tarentum's Keepers during their assault on Castle Tarentum. While the feature does not impair the Nautolan's abilities thanks to Dark Jedi Master Zero's efforts, the appearance could not be corrected - even by the hard work of Odan-Urr's Jedi Council.
Tattoos: Strictly using black ink only, Raiju has covered his legs in a spiraling pattern that begins midway up his thighs at two different heights for each leg. The pattern creeps all the way down to his ankles where they trail off, again at different heights, however; it has been stylized to depict Qel-Droma before his fall while encompassing individual tattoos the Nautolan has received over the years; his family emblem and homages to Nautolan gods of War, Empathy, Wisdom, & Courage. In Addition : Raiju has had the Resistance emblem branded onto his right wrist.
- Lightsaber "Radula" & "Mist"
- .48-Caliber Enforcer Pistol (Sidearm)
- 2 x Combat Knife (Hidden in attire)
- 3 x Thermal Detonator
It is hard to sell spice and deal with criminals without partaking in a little of it yourself, or at least this is what Raiju Kang discovered on the streets of Nar Shaddaa. Drinking, gambling, paying for sex and the frequent narcotics were all a heavy part of the Nautolan's teen and young adult years, but stopped being an occupational hazard and became habit after joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. These actions have lead directly to his various debts around the organization, which either have left him with a death mark from or have a tendency to often be called in for "favours" if the collectors are in a particularly good mood - or desire something from Raiju. Yet, for years Raiju struggled with cleaning up his habits due to his changing morality and now as he struggles with his place in the galaxy he also has to figure out if he can conquer these old habits.
Sometimes situations require more than bravo and a lightsaber; sometimes they even require more than quick wit and an escape plan. 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. Yet, "no take-backies" means nothing when you have your fingers cross...it's a shame more people don't share this belief. 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 favour but one can be sure that the Nautolan will soon be making another deal to cover his tracks.
Raiju Kang is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Raiju Kang will often use his superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, he is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Raiju Kang in a bit of trouble.
The reputation of Raiju Kang has been known to precede him. Often tales of unbelievable acts have spread across Dark Brotherhood space, which may have a grain of truth to them as he is uncharacteristically lucky; but more likely have been embellished by Raiju's own tongue. Whether it is from a daring, or lucky escape or a cunning gamble of words; the legend of Raiju's actions is just as strong as the knowledge of his selfish nature, his dishonesty, and his mercurial madness.
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.
Fond of staying alive and prepared, Raiju Kang keeps several bladed weapons hidden on his person at all times and in all different locations. Raiju Kang switches these locations periodically in order to maintain an element of surprise even among his allies who know him. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that he is slower to draw one of these weapons if he forgets where he stashed them.
