Sage Sonny

Sonny always seems to underestimate the gravity of important situations or the difficulty of tasks by about a mile or ten.Sonny is a bit of a slacker, never really thinking things all the way through - and it usually comes back to bite him in a wildly comedic way. However, he also tends to not be deterred from things that would often scare others away.

Every legendary story seems to have at least one charming and optimistic character. If that's the case, then it only makes sense that Sonny has decided to be that person. After all, if everyone is too busy whining and groaning about the negatives, how will anyone ever reach the positive? True, Sonny's constant belief that things will get better can be terribly grating, especially to pessimists or those just level-headed enough to realize when things truly are going downhill, but Sonny's constant positive outlook can serve to sometimes spur others to action when it feels like the world just wants them to lay down and die.

Sonny is very cheerful and happy, and always looks on the bright side of life. When chewing on life’s gristle, he doesn't grumble, but gives a whistle. He always hopes for the best, and enjoys laughing, smiling, dancing or singing. This unending optimism often improves the morale and spirit of everyone around him, and Sonny is always quick with a smile or a joke, even when drawing his terminal breath. This same exuberance can also be tiring to more jaded curmudgeons.

Sonny would much rather be behind a hand of good sabacc cards or a rare vintage of aged liquor than with his blasters or ship. More often than not, he will spend nights at high-end establishments gambling, drinking and "socializing". Sonny can survive without the finer things, but he sure would rather not. This preference follows him onto the job, so it is not uncommon for Sonny to insult a client or potential partner by commenting on their choice of beverage or recreation.

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. Sonny? Sonny doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Sonny, 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, Sonny isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Sonny won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Sonny will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, Sonny has turned the act of dueling into an art form. A keen eye and attention to detail allows him the ability to learn their opponent's idiosyncrasies while fighting. Sonny then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, Sonny has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.
