To those unfamiliar with the Nautolan species, Raiju Kang must appear as a half-breed between a man and a squid. Standing just slightly shy of six feet, the amphibious humanoid has large black fish-like eyes dominating his face above a sharp pointed nose directly below them and a strong jawline exhibiting his humanoid features. Mottled green colors the Nautolan's smooth, rubbery skin and instead of sporting hair upon his crown like most humanoids, flowing off the back of his head Raiju has ten remaining of his original fourteen head-tresses - each decorated with simple copper rings and hang down his back freely moving about with his own movement.
Distinguishing Marks:
Sometimes situations require more than bravo and a lightsaber; sometimes they even require more than quick wit and an escape plan. That's where possessing a talented tongue has done more for Raiju Kang than just making him popular with the ladies. When much of the known galaxy wants you dead or in chains, having the ability to see the logical benefit for both parties or in becoming "frienemies" can keep a Nautolan alive to see his next meal. Yet, "no take-backies" means nothing when you have your fingers cross...it's a shame more people don't share this belief. Alas, some deals are meant to be broken (even planned for from their conception) if they don't keep the balance of power in Raiju's favour but one can be sure that the Nautolan will soon be making another deal to cover his tracks.
It is hard to sell spice and deal with criminals without partaking in a little of it yourself, or at least this is what Raiju Kang discovered on the streets of Nar Shaddaa. Drinking, gambling, paying for sex and the frequent narcotics were all a heavy part of the Nautolan's teen and young adult years, but stopped being an occupational hazard and became habit after joining the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. These actions have lead directly to his various debts around the organization, which either have left him with a death mark from or have a tendency to often be called in for "favours" if the collectors are in a particularly good mood - or desire something from Raiju. Yet, for years Raiju struggled with cleaning up his habits due to his changing morality and now as he struggles with his place in the galaxy he also has to figure out if he can conquer these old habits.
The reputation of Raiju Kang has been known to precede him. Often tales of unbelievable acts have spread across Dark Brotherhood space, which may have a grain of truth to them as he is uncharacteristically lucky; but more likely have been embellished by Raiju's own tongue. Whether it is from a daring, or lucky escape or a cunning gamble of words; the legend of Raiju's actions is just as strong as the knowledge of his selfish nature, his dishonesty, and his mercurial madness.
Raiju Kang is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Raiju Kang will often use his superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, he is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Raiju Kang in a bit of trouble.
Sculpted by a history of violence, Raiju is known to be resourceful, cunning, and erratic in his combat style and usage of the Force. A former Obelisk practitioner, who survived running the gauntlet as a Sith journeymen in Tarentum, a war hero of the Jedi from Odan-Urr, and trained by several of the Brotherhood's strongest elders; Raiju had been forged as a weapon to use every bit of his background to his advantage. He has no problem switching between the defensive, reserved tactics of the Jedi to a more aggressive stance of his Sith upbringing. Everything is on the table, but unfortunately, this unpredictable nature often leaves his comrades in arms struggling to follow his lead into combat and has bred mistrust in the Nautolan's leadership more than once.
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. Raiju Kang? Raiju Kang doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Raiju Kang, 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, Raiju Kang isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Raiju Kang won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Raiju Kang will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
