*** Grod's character lasted for so long that his character sheet had to be recopied numerous times. Along the way at some point, a skill was miscopied to read "Vehicle Parry". No-one quite knew what this skill did, but since it looked sort of real, no one questioned it. The skill was only successfully used once, when Grod managed to fend off an attack by a huge swamp creature by blocking it's strike with the front fender of the crew's hovertruck.

Physical Description: 

Tall for a Rodian, Grod was whip thin, with a multitude of suckers and tendrils topping his head. His skin was a light avocado green with red slashes on his neck and forearms. He lost his right hand due to a wickedly modified hold-out blaster malfunctioning at an inopportune moment, but was able to procure a cybernetic replacement. His eyes were a non-reflective, multifaceted black, but they would twinkle whenever he thought about money. Or plunder. Grod was very susceptible to the dreaded Rodian Sucker Flu, a particularly nasty disease characterized by his suckers and tendrils shedding. He also had a penchant for spice, Ryll in particular. Unfortunately, Ryll has several side effects on Rodians - most notably an increase in mucous production. After a seriously heavy binge during a 40 day hyperspace jump, he was found cocooned in the refresher unit. It took three people several hours to break through the chrysalis he exuded.

Typical Outfit: 

Grod usually wore a Vacc suit over an environmentally controllable skinsuit. This was mostly due to the nature of a certain member of the crew, namely Flash Meltdown, who was prone to explosively dangerous experimentation while the ship, The Full Dodge, was in deep space. When on planet, he usually dressed in a sharp upper class business suit with a topcoat, befitting his status as the trader and business front man for the crew. Not particularly handy with a blaster, Grod did not usually openly carry a sidearm. However, through the course of his adventures he did come across a pair of disruptor pistols, arguably the nastiest weapons in the galaxy. Subsequently, these were carried in concealed holsters under his topcoat, and only brought out as negotiation tools when talking or coercing failed. 

Background:

Grod Oo'gan was your archetypal Rodian - Shifty, scheming, and prone to violence. Arguably the longest running character in the campaign, he had a legendary string of successes and failures. His finest hour undoubtedly was early in his career - during a daring theft and escape with a prototype fighter chassis from an imperial shipyard, he managed to shoot and destroy a pursuing T.I.E. fighter using a medium blaster pistol. Grod owned several ships through the years, but the final ship, The Full Dodge, was undoubtedly his favorite. His rendition of the Ship's Articles didn't really go over too well, but the rules were enforced nonetheless. Over the course of his adventures, and by virtue of his shrewd business practices, Grod managed to become a multi-millionaire - much to the chagrin of Emperor PalpaDave. Upon his demise, Grod left assets in excess of seven million credits. Of course all this wealth was "lost" or "Confiscated" by the Corporate Sector Authority. (Otherwise known as the GM saying "I think NOT!") Which of course brings us to Grod's unfortunate death. Grod was always a bit, shall be say, undiplomatic, and it eventually led to his downfall. During a particularly invigorating treasure hunt/race, Grod continually poked fun at a member of a large, intelligent, avian race. After one too many "Chicken ala King" jokes, the creature took at swing at Grod. Or more specifically a kick. To the head. Which Grod completely failed to duck, and was struck stone dead on the spot. (Critically failing his resist roll, taking multiple mortal wounds. To the head.) 

Feelings regarding the Empire: 

Imperials were always an annoyance to Grod, but he really wasn't all that concerned with them either. At least no more so than the CSA, the Iotran Police Force, and whatever system patrol craft happened to be currently demanding the Full Dodge stand down and prepare to be boarded...

Feelings regarding the Rebellion:

Grod DID have very strong feelings about the rebellion. Specifically, NEVER GET INVOLVED WITH THE REBELLION!!! There's no profit margin in it.

Current Profession: 

None. (Deceased, duh.)
