Appearance
Laren bears the signature golden-yellow eyes, full blue skin and dark blue hair of his species, the Pantorans. He is of average galactic height and lithe of build - though some might consider him frail. Laren would be inconspicuous if not for a specific, glaring feature. Where the yellow markings of his family lineage were once worn proudly on his face, there are deep scorch marks that have become scars marking the horror of his former enslavement. The scarring is located on the bridge of his nose between his eyes, where two thin lines and a dot once resided. On his cheeks, the same scars appeared, with the lines parallel to the angle of his nose and a dot in the middle.
Clothing
Since Laren's facial features are particularly distinctive, Laren prefers clothing that is entirely the opposite. His typical attire includes a long overcoat of dark gray, brown or black. The overcoat is especially useful for hiding his extensive black leather utility built and the distinctive shape of a potential weapon holstered on his left hip. Under his overcoat, Laren prefers unremarkable shirts of darkened shades of gray or black, and well-tailored trousers of the same colour scheme. Laren has also taken to ankle or knee-high leather boots that are obviously well-worn, yet designed for combat or long stretches away from civilization.
Laren also has attire for more formal functions. When attending his duties as Praetor to the Headmaster or official functions with Clan Plagueis, Laren will don a smarter set of robes. Though he has five identical sets of robes of different colours or shades, Laren prefers the black robes with silver embroidery. The collar of his formal ware is mandarin and flat by design, though tailored tightly around the neck. It bares gentle silver embroidery around the collar, and simple silver embroidery of scrolls around his cuffs. The shirt is tucked into a smart set of trousers designed to fit his waist without a belt. The trousers are properly bloused and tucked into knee-high formal boots, designed with the function of formality in mind. Laren will also wear a matching coloured cloak over his formal attire, the cloak itself bare of any design except for his initials, 'L.U.', embroidered on the inside of the collar.
Laren Uscot is driven by taking tasks, overcoming its obstacles and succeeding. Though money is necessary to perform any job he may be given, he is neither driven by revenge or bloodlust. His pragmatic approach to work is a means of occupying his thoughts away from painful memories of his torture and time as a slave. However, sometimes he takes on too many jobs at once, leaving him struggling to find a way to maintain his reputation, and his head.
At a young age, Laren Uscot's family was brutally murdered and he was taken as a slave. The majority of workers died on Kessel, though Laren had an iron will to survive. With the help of fellow slaves, luck, and a thirst for freedom, Laren Uscot developed various skills necessary to free himself from captivity, kill his masters and begin his own journey as a mercenary and sometimes-spy. When in captivity, Laren's former masters burnt his flesh where his Pantoran family-facial markings once existed. Though Laren has accepted slavery, his scars are a reminder of his weakness. Those who find it necessary to vocalize their opinions about his scars or attempt to delve into his past will find his rage once quiet is still burning.
The agreed upon perception of Laren Uscot is that he is an accomplished mercenary and an adept killing machine. Though those who think in such a way aren't wrong, Laren purposefully maintains the facade. Behind the curtain of murder and sarcasm is a highly intelligent and curious individual who is keenly observant of his surroundings. Laren can use this hidden intelligence to his advantage, acting the fool among those who think that he is above their station. However, in times of crisis or in formal settings, Laren struggles to earn recognition for his ideas or points of merit as those around him assume he is simply a brainless gunslinger that lacks understanding of more subtle machinations.
Laren Uscot's life has been shaped by the desperation of survival and the necessity of improvisation when plans fall apart. Over his lifetime, Laren Uscot has and continues to develo the skills and tools necessary to create complex plans or concepts on the fly. His entire work ethic is dominated by this view, preferring to experience things or create ideas and plans in the moment. He is adept at creating plans of action or synthesizing grand concepts with little time or preparation, making him an unpredictable foe in combat and an eccentric individual. However, Laren will find himself at a disadvantage against individuals with an in-depth knowledge or superior organizational skills on the battlefield or across the conference table, catching him off guard and leaving him embarrassed or enraged.
On the battlefield, Laren Uscot is able to identify various aspects of his environment that can be used to his advantage. Whether it is an object to be used as a makeshift weapon, a human-shield, or an avenue of escape from a superior opponent, Laren has learned that the best way to overcome his opponent is by any means necessary. Though his methods are effective, they are also destructive, tending to damage the surrounding environment and drawing unwanted attention to himself and his opponent(s).
Laren Uscot undertook training in a local military force, providing him some basic knowledge of combat, tactics and strategy. Though not an expert by any means, Laren can use this knowledge to identify situations during combat that can be used to his advantage. However, those who are heavily trained in a particular type of combat will easily outmatch Laren, forcing him to resort to other means.
