Buio is a Loyalist soldier who specializes in infiltration and subterfuge. His service to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood started as a nameless trooper, yet his proficient leadership style and meticulous nature, saw his squad attain several prominent victories that quickly advanced him through the ranks of the legion. Standing out amongst his peers, Buio was quickly plucked from the Stormtrooper Corps by Warlord Teylas Ramar di Plagia, who took the Zabrak as his apprentice.
Character History
The Stormtrooper Corps
Buio enlisted as a soldier in the Stormtrooper Corps at a relatively young age. Unlike many of his peers, the Zabrak was an ardent patriot, feeling a genuine purpose in serving and protecting the interests of the order that had insured he and his family prospered. Although he was one of many nameless faces within the corps, Buio's ambitions were great. With a unique leadership style, a methodical approach to combat scenarios and advanced tactical situations, and a penchant for attaining decisive victories, Buio quickly advanced through the ranks and defined himself as a formidable soldier.
Dark Jedi Brotherhood
The Circle, Clan Plagueis
Physical Description
Buio is of moderate stature with a lithe, yet toned physique. Due to a rare form of albinism, his skin is milky-white and laden with the prominent markings uniquely characteristic to most Zabrakians. Moreover, Buio's markings are black--contrasting starkly with his pale skin--and most distinguishable on his face, neck, and head, although they also wreathe his torso, arms, and legs. Buio's ghostly-white hair is of relative length and maintained in thick, twisted cords bundled at the back of his head and then bound along its length. Two horns protrude along the upper crest of his forehead, left and right respectively, while several smaller horns align the circumference of his upper skull. Due to their diminutive size, the smaller protrusions are not immediately noticeable and tend to blend with his hair. Buio's most compelling feature are his plum-colored eyes, sparsely flecked with yellow. Buio's facial features are inherently androgynous, emphasized by high cheekbones and a sharp curve to his jawline. His lips are full and pale in color, framing impeccably cared for teeth. Although he has no body art to speak of, the two horns on the anterior of his forehead are pierced multiple times and are fitted with thick, gold hoops whose diameter mirrors its placement on the horn.
Clothing & Loadout
Buio's S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol is in mint condition and modified to accommodate an extended mag.Preferring earth tone colored fabrics, Buio favors simplicity, functionality, and comfort over style. His usual outfit consists of a pair of brown slacks, a dark green or blue colored long-sleeve shirt, and black vest. Due to the nature of his profession, Buio chooses fabrics that are versatile enough for an array of different environments. He also prefers clothing that is formfitting, yet doesn't restrict movement. He's worn the same style of black, calf-high combat boots for several years, and still uses the sandy-colored utility belt from his days as a shoretrooper. His S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol is holstered to his right thigh, while a Vibrodagger is sheathed near the small of his back, usually concealed by the vest. Buio almost always wears black Crushgaunts and a Chronometer on his left wrist.
At any one time, Buio's utility belt is stocked with the following, although this may vary based on his current assignment:
- C1 Personal Comlink
- Medpac
- Repulser Dart Shooter
- Vibroknuckler
- Code Cylinder
- Sith Scroll
- Shadow Academy Datapad
Aspects
General & Personality
Buio is a master of fitting in and impersonation. There is scarcely a planet in the galaxy where he can't manage to find a way to fit in, be it throwing together a convincing imitation of a local guard or pretending to be a regular local. Buio is so good at this, that he may have seemingly lost all sense of personal style and flair, leaving him as simply the imitator. Buio will never go into any situation head-on. Whether it be combat or just strolling down the street, he will stick to the shadows or cloak himself in the Force. The less he is seen, the better. If he cannot sneak up on someone, then Buio will not bother confronting them.
Buio doesn't do anything without first having a plan, and is constantly overheard advising others to always “think through their exits”. Every movement he makes--be it combative, manipulative, or otherwise--is premeditated and thought out ahead of time. This foresight often places Buio two steps ahead of his peers. However, when plans go awry, Buio often has to first backtrack those same two steps to address the present, and that hesitation can often be line between success and failure in the heat of a situation. Buio is a lateral thinker, and when he encounters problems or dilemmas, he is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows Buio to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, Buio can typically explain and lead others through his plan... as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust his outside thinking.
Combat
Buio vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that he has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place. Sometimes the only way to prepare for the worst is to always expect it. Buio takes this philosophy one step further by never leaving home without accounting for every possible scenario he might expect to encounter. Buio tends to always have the right tool or item for a situation and has a habit of quietly and almost smugly presenting solutions before anyone even recognizes there is a problem. This foresight is far from infallible, however, and he often finds himself at a loss in situations that go beyond what he could have imagined. While incredibly practical and often a life-saver in a pinch, his perpetually pessimistic outlook on daily life can be a bit draining on more optimistic-inclined companions.
