Special Abilities:
Heat Adaptation: Chakh is a very, very hot world, with surface temperatures regularly reaching 70ø C. Because of this, the Ethcroi are very well adapted to high temperatures, while not being so well adapted to cold. Their normal range is from 50ø-90ø, and they view cold and hot based on those standards. In addition, they need to drink no liquid water, as they are capable of surviving off of the water naturally provided by the foods they eat.
Natural Weapons and Armor: The hide of the Ethcroi gives them a +1 bonus vs. energy attacks, and a +2 bonus vs. physical attacks. Their claws inflict STR+2D damage, and can be used in conjunction with brawling combat skills.
Force Sensitive: No
Force Points: 2
Dark Side Points: 5
Character Points: 23
Move: 15

Equipment:

Personal equipment: Light repeating blaster on shoulder sling, blaster pistol, comlink, medium body armor (+2D vs. physical, +1D+2 vs. energy at all locations) 15,000 in Chakh crowns.

Other equipment: House on Chakh Home, accounts totaling 2.7 million in Chakh crowns (equivalent to approximately 150,000 Imperial credits).

Age: 37

Appearance:

Height: 4'8"
Weight: 277lbs.
Eyes: Green, with white pupils

Appearance notes: Sgirion has a long knife scar running down the left side of his face, from just below his eye down to his chin. In addition, he has flechette scarring on his back, and on top of his lower body.

Clothing:

Sigirion wears faded army fatigues, mottled with camouflage patterns, over a customized suit of body armor. He wears this outfit in as many contexts as possible, and tries to avoid situations were he would have to be separated from his arms and armor.

Retainers, henchmen, and associates:

Sigirion has no friends, only rivals, at least in his mind, and treats his associates accordingly. At times, the elimination of all his subordinates seems to be a genuine goal of Sigirion, and any officer with a hint of intelligence or the slightest instinct for self preservation gets himself out of Sigirion's control. Only other Ethcroi, who desire his position and are used to the sort of cutthroat competitive process that Sigirion's command exemplifies can work with him, leading to Ethcroi leadership of Sigirion's primarily Krantian command.

Common haunts and habitues:

Sigirion tends to spend as much of his time in the field with his troops as possible, both to cement their loyalty to him, and to prevent any attempt by his subordinates to seize control. When he was younger and more ambitious, Sigirion would spend time at central command, and try to gain more power for himself, but now he has his hands full just holding on the power that he has, and will only be found at central command if he absolutely has to be there.

History:

Sigirion is a typical Ethcroi officer, if somewhat older than most. After defeating his creche siblings for a right to live, he was mauled by an elder sister wielding a skinning knife. Certain that he would not be able to reach the rank of heir before one of his parents died or was killed, Sigirion signed on for military duty. He moved up the ranks with relatively great speed, as his abilities were truly superior. His goal was to reach supreme command, and he came quite close, achieving his current rank of Lieutenant General through an equal mixture of ability, tenacity, and treachery. However, as the years passed, Sigirion lost his edge, and saw himself surpassed by much younger officers.

At 37, Sigirion is almost elderly for an Ethcroi, and it is only his great abilities and his innate stubbornness that keeps him in the highly competitive forward command post that he had achieved. His options include retirement to Chakh, but as he devoted his best years to the military, his chances of outliving his first brood are rather slim, transfer to a desk job, which would be seen as a sign of either weakness or ambition by his rivals, either of which would get him killed, or going out in a blaze of glory, in a direct attack against a superior force, an option that is looking more and more promising.

Personality:

Sigirion, is a bitter, grim, and paranoid individual, with a streak of tactical brilliance that occasionally transfers over to interpersonal relationships, a trait that allows him to survive in Ethcroi society, despite his relatively advanced age.
