Melphis Olarune, human noble

Character synopsis

Technically I never actually got to play Melphis, but he's actually written down fully on a character sheet (which is saying something). I've really thought I was going to get to play him (multiple times) and still sort of half-intend to play him maybe some day, so whatever. He's got all the social and teamwork skills of a Noble with a little Soldier multi-classed in there for weapon prociencies or whatever. I just liked the idea of some noble son with a sporting rifle who ends up on daring swashbuckling adventures sometimes.


History / origin

On Kuat, Melphis' father was some big-time engineer at Republic Sienar Systems designing starships or whatever. His family's definitely rich and stuff, so Melphis is used to having all the finest equipment and services provided for him but he has lived his life indulging his love of danger, excitement, and intrigue off on his own, even if he must have a bodyguard or two along for the ride.


Descriptiony

Melphis is a thrill-seeker. Even though he has large sums of money at his disposal because of his family and related connections, he likes to take chances with his own funds in gambling and speculative investing. Racing speeders and hunting big game are two other ways he tries to enjoy himself while pocketing some credits and maybe looking sweet to all the honeys. He can easily call on the influence of his family and riches or whatever, and he probably has a bodyguard with him, but he likes to be out there doing his own thing. I don't know.

Dates played: never, yet! Just a technicality.

Class levels: Noble 4 / Soldier 1

Sweet traits: Noble gives him nice dialog skills, teamwork benefits, and various richy-rich resources to call upon. He also likes shooting things with his hunting rifle, and maybe doing some gambling or piloting on the side. Sort of almost related, he possibly could have had another PC be his bodyguard.

Sweet gear: he's got a kool sporting rifle (Merr-Sonn LD-1) that he tricked out, an elegantly tooled leather jerkin, and many advanced technological doodads.
