Character Name: Soonoba (SO-NO-BA) the Hutt
Species: Hutt
Gender: Non Gender Species. Male most of the time but when reproducing they are female.
Age: 675 years (corpulent Hutt)
Physical Appearance:
Always one of the most corpulent of the Hutts, which is very highly regarded among the Hutts as a sign of power, he weighs in at 1200 KG (2650 lbs) and is on record among the tallest a Hutt as ever reached at a whopping 4.3 meters (14 feet 2 in) long and 2.3 meters tall (7 and a half feet) tall. It is not expected Soonoba will go thru any more growth spurts but if it does then he will be the biggest Hutt ever to live. Most Hutts at this weight have to rely on repulsors to move around and get things done. Soonoba does not however; he is very agile and strong, capable of moving up to 20 MPH to charge at someone, or whip his tail around crushing most everything in its path. He works out a lot not trusting the other Hutts to try and kill him for his power, or Network employees, or even enemies of the Network. He does however use a repulsor to move around to disguise his true gifts. His eyes are big and black all over no coloring tint in them at all. It is said when you look into his eyes it’s as if your staring into the void of a black hole. Like most Hutts his hide is very thick and repel any melee attack with blades and most blaster fire with merely burn the outer layers of the hide.
Personal History / Significant Life Events:
Born to Joornak The Hutt before the Network or even the Sith problems. Soonoba was one of the largest Hutts ever to be seen after the initial 50 years of being with its parent. Unlike other Hutts Soonoba had a growth spurt within a few years and was seen as a threat to the powers that be. Joornak was killed in the attempt on Soonoba’s life. However, Soonoba saw it as business and began his crusade by taking all the menial tasks given to him. Most of these were dealing with other species in the business affairs for the Hutts. This proved to be a blessing for all involved for Soonoba was able to save millions of credits by seeing thru lies and proving deceptions on the parts of many outsiders. Soon Soonoba was given a chance to lead his own affairs in his clan. In the acts of “business” Soonoba was able to kill all the Hutts who made the attempt on him and killed his parent instead. Thru these killings Soonoba was able to vault to the top of the clan with in a matter of 150 years or so. Despite doing so his timing was wrong due to the Network. It had gained too much of an influence on the other Hutts and gained too much power to fight directly. Therefore, Soonoba took the measures to install a place in the Network hierarchy to gain a better understanding of the threat. Over the years as a low level number cruncher, small ship coordinator, smuggler director, then finally as the 1st to the leader of Ord Mantel. On Ord Mantel, which is home to one of the largest if not the largest Library in the Galaxy he studied the Jedi, Sith, Ancient Smuggling operations, Governments, and the like trying to learn from History as much as possible. While on the planet he also studied the other planets in which the Network worked and in so doing learned which one he wanted to control as well. However he never let one which one it was, he always said it was just research so that Ord Mantel would stay ahead in the profit margins. Due to the interest his research gained Soonoba pays those who are loyal to him very generously, and despite it going against his species better judgment he pays them out of his own pocket and hides the fact he does, to keep them loyal to him rather then The Network. Soonoba has not yet reproduced and some are beginning to wonder when/if Soonoba will reproduce.
Place of Origin:
Nal Hutta
Important Possessions:
Soonoba owns a repulsor chair that can carry Soonoba wherever it wishes. Along with being a 1st in the Network comes the ever present small number of bodyguards trained in unarmed and armed combat, a food taster, human/Twi’lek female dancers and a band for entertainment, and the translator Droid.
Ship: The Varl is an elite luxury cruiser designed for Hutts with Mud baths, Dancing areas, and swimming for Hutts. This ship usually takes approx 20-30 people on board including the crew. To keep costs down Soonoba makes sure the crew is mostly droids, just upkeep is cheaper then hiring out pilots and so forth for the whole month or whatever the payment schedule is. The ship is named after the home Planet of Varl that the Hutts used up a millennia ago.
Special Abilities:
Soonoba is unlike most Hutts, in the fact he understands pretty much every language there is in the galaxy and will study any new ones, but refuses to speak them believing that Hutts are the greatest beings in the Galaxy. The only person(s) he will not go thru a translator for are his superiors within the Network. Soonoba has also studied the ways of body languages in other beings and has become one of the great true readers of others. With this skill he will usually know if someone is lying or holding something back. Then Soonoba will just use this information to his liking to see what will give him more of a profit. Also like all Hutts of a mature age he is immune to Jedi Mind Tricks no matter how good they may be at it. Their mental capabilities are bar none some of the best in the Galaxy and even Jedi have learned that trying to rely on the Force with them is useless. Like all Hutts also their hide is nearly impossible to blast thru with blasters and their digestive tract makes it nearly impossible to poison them.
Skills: Computer, Persuade/Intimidation, Languages
Personality and Attitude:
Soonoba is like all other Hutts in the way that he is very arrogant. All other species are beneath him and will not talk to them but down to them thru a translator. Soonoba has a very bad temper but unlike other Hutts a long fuse. Soonoba does not lose his temper if something goes wrong but instead will look immediately to find the best profit margin from the problem. If there is no profit then he will lose his temper and prone to throwing fits of rage and has several times needed his office to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch. Soonoba is even getting to the point of arrogance with the other Hutts, due to his unique skills with other species and knowing what is going in the Galaxy around them and understanding how it affects them as well. Prone to entertaining with dancers, lavish mud baths, and the best eats for a Hutt in the Galaxy.
Objectives:
Simply out to make as much Profit as possible. Use anything or anyone to get this done and come out of it smelling like a preverbal flower. Underlying that is taking back control of the underworld from the Network and into the hands of the Hutts again.
Weaknesses:
Gambling, female entertainers, love of fights, and an overwhelming EGO.
