Though sharing a bipedal physique, Kabal is notably shorter and slighter of build than the average human or near-human, standing 5'5" with a slender and graceful, if frail build. As no current database record describes the Ubese's physical characteristics outside their distinctive masks, battle armor, and enviro-suits, those who've interacted with them face-to-face would not recognize them as a distinct species. As such, Kabal is almost-always seen clad in heavy layered clothing and armor, formed around traditional Ubese garb, adorned with dozens of onboard computers, gadgets, and other miscellaneous technology. He wears several bandoliers packed tight with ammo, thermal detonators, grenades, and other explosives for ease-of-access. A walking armory, Kabal always appears equipped with at least half-a-dozen weapons designed for both close-and-long-ranged encounters, ranging from shock gloves and vibroknives to heavy blasters and wrist-mounted flamethrowers. His most distinguishing feature, however, is his optically-enhanced helmet designed to breathe Type I atmospheres, which he is almost never seen without. The unsettling, dual-visor helmet and rebreather only further emphasizes Kabal's strange, enigmatic nature and mysterious background, as well as his paranoid desire to maintain it.[/indent] [color=silver][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][list] [*][url=https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/DXR-6_disruptor_rifle]Modified DXR-6 Disruptor Rifle[/url] [*]Assortment of thermal detonators, thermal imploders, ion grenades, stun/flash grenades, and [url=https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Detonation_pack]detonation packs[/url] [*]ZX miniature flame projector [*]MM9 wrist rocket system equipped with Type-12A anti-personnel rockets and type 12B capsules filled with a FGA-583 nerve agent [*]Shock-gloves [*]Vibroknife [*]Layered Ubese survival clothing and armor [*]Ubese double-visor helmet and rebreather.

Befitting his species' fascination with all sorts of technology, Kabal is similarly skilled in maintaining and modifying weaponry, turning even the most humble DL-18 into a powerful sidearm. [color=silver][b][u]Grenadier:[/u][/b][/color] Equally as fond of explosives as he is of blasters, Kabal is an expert demolitionist, skilled in crafting various kinds of grenades, both lethal and nonlethal, and throwing them with deadly precision. Favoring an arsenal as versatile as he is, Kabal keeps several types of grenades on his person at all times, from the modest stun grenade to the devastating thermal imploder. [color=silver][b][u]Technician:[/u][/b][/color] What little the galaxy at large knows of the Ubese, their obsession and skill with advanced technology is ubiquitously acknowledged, and Kabal is no exception. An expert in making, fixing, and understanding all-sorts of tech, ranging from household equipment and terminals to advanced weapon components and droid hardware, Kabal's intuitive grasp of technology makes him an invaluable asset. [color=silver][b][u]Physical Resilience:[/u][/b][/color] Despite his unassuming size and stature, Kabal is infamous for his strength, ferocity, and toughness. Utterly fearless in the face of danger, Kabal has been seen engaging and defeating opponents much larger and stronger than he is in hand-to-hand, utilizing a blend of cunning, brute force, sheer stubbornness, and his vast arsenal of gadgetry. As fast and agile as his frame would suggest, Kabal's layered clothing makes it difficult to get a firm grasp on him, and his surprising toughness relative to his size makes him a dangerous opponent even up-close. Possessing great endurance, Kabal rarely complains even in the harshest conditions: braving extreme weather, starvation and dehydration, and even severe injury; only admitting defeat when his body gives out on him. [/indent] [color=silver][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][color=silver][b][u]Amorality:[/u][/b][/color] Put simply, Kabal is as unprincipled as they come. Self-serving, ruthless, and chaotic, Kabal has little in the way of morals or scruples, willing to do just about anything if offered the right amount of credits. Though loyal to a degree and generally honest, Kabal makes it clear that he puts his own interests first. The galaxy is a cruel one: and the space-wizards who preached selflessness and peace are dead, their ideas with them. [color=silver][b][u]Xenophobia:[/u][/b][/color] A blatant and unrepentant xenophobe with a clear distaste for other alien species, Kabal, despite knowing better, is somewhat difficult to work with. In general conversation, he is rude, blunt, and derisive, mocking or insulting anyone who's earned his ire. Suffering from something of a superiority complex, Kabal, like many Ubese, sees his species as above any other in the galaxy; leaving him to view other races as crude savages or dumb animals. This, understandably, makes him a less-than-pleasant companion. Despite most of the crew being able to ignore this trait in favor of Kabal's more prominent talents, it still poses a general issue, particularly in public. [color=silver][b][u]Lack of Subtlety:[/u][/b][/color] Fond of things that go boom, Kabal's entire skill-set revolves around carnage and how to spread it. As a result, Kabal lacks entirely what one may call a "soft touch." Possessing little in the way of nuance, subtlety, or finesse, Kabal prefers the hard-and-loud approach, which has seemed to work for him up to this point - just a shame for whoever has to clean up after. [color=silver][b][u]Type I Atmospheres:[/u][/b][/color] Growing up on a planet with a Type-II atmosphere, Kabal's lungs are conditioned to breathe atmospheres with poor levels of oxygen. His helmet, equipped with a filter to accommodate this, is a necessity to properly breathe such air. As a consequence, if ever without his helmet, Kabal suffers from the Ubese equivalent of asthma that has the potential to cause permanent lung damage.[/indent] [hr] [color=silver][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]A strange creature from a stranger species, Kabal embodies the Ubese traits of xenophobia, aggressiveness, and technophilia. A bounty hunter of mysterious origin with an obsession of all things loud and explosive, Kabal's tenacity, ruthlessness, and obstinance has earned him something of a reputation in the Mid and Outer Rim. Though lacking the raw skill of famed hunters such as Boba Fett and Bossk, Kabal has nevertheless secured a small niche for himself as a tirelessly dedicated mercenary willing to forgo food and rest in pursuit of his target. Whether out of luck, persistence, or simply his impressive arsenal of weaponry, Kabal has survived countless encounters against increasingly-impossible odds, somehow making it on top almost every time. Yet, Kabal seems almost oblivious to his own luck, simply viewing each job as it is; unaware of any greater scheme or miraculous stroke of fortune. Likely due to past experiences, Kabal is easily-enraged and extremely aggressive, which makes him exceedingly trigger-happy with an innate desire for violence. This bloodlust is what led him to bounty hunting in the first place, driven to test his wide assortment of weapons on unwilling alien targets. Quick to pick a fight, Kabal appears utterly unaware of any size or strength difference between himself and his opponents, talking down to hulking creatures such as Trandoshans or Besalisks without a second thought. While this rudeness often gets Kabal into trouble, his quick-thinking and cleverness inevitably gets him out of it no worse for wear. Fixated with all manner of technology: Kabal is easily distracted by terminals, droid parts, tech components, and high-powered weapons. Most strangely manifesting in an obsession with cybernetics, Kabal seems to view prosthetics as a sort-of morbid trophy, always eager to add more to his collection - even if the owner is currently in use of it. An unapologetic xenophobe with a disdain for most non-Ubese, Kabal perceives nearly all other species as unintelligent savages, treated condescendingly at best and contemptibly at worst. This xenophobia directly correlates with the physical attributes of the alien, as Kabal treats Humans or near-Humans with far more civility than the more bestial inhabitants of the galaxy, though still retaining an overall air of superiority. Despite his overt aggressiveness and xenophobia, Kabal is no fool. He acknowledges, however begrudgingly, that his work requires him to be somewhat civil with other species; that the galaxy at large barely acknowledges the Ubese. Though consistently misanthropic and ill-mannered, Kabal will not purposefully seek out fights with others unless given proper cause - though his definition of "proper cause" may be rather skewed. A demonstrator of honorable traits such as honesty and loyalty, Kabal has a track record of never backstabbing an employer or going back on his word. Though secretive and untrusting to a fault, he sees little point in lying to others, though he does not share such reservations in hiding parts of the truth if necessary. Nevertheless, he is best described as amoral, caring little for any law, custom, or morals but his own.[/indent] [color=silver][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Though secretive by nature and one to disclose as few details about himself as possible, Kabal, like nearly all Ubese, hails from the Mid-Rim world of Ubertica. His childhood was unmemorable, born to be disregarded in a galaxy that had all-but-forgotten the Ubese existed. Whether his parents were good or bad, or his childhood pleasant, or the event that sparked his love of technology, all pointless memories that have little presence in the future. But they are kept closely-guarded by Kabal, himself, who seems to take comfort in clinging to them. Or at least, comfort in knowing that he's the only one aware of it.[/indent] [color=silver][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]The circumstances regarding Kabal's emigration from Ubertica into the greater galaxy is as mysterious as the man, himself. The story seems to change anytime he's asked, with even Force-sensitives unable to detect a lie in each iteration. He's admitted to scavenging, piracy, terrorism, trafficking, bounty hunting, and assassination, all with vague details that led him to where he was now. Currently, he's been a member of the crew for a little over a year now, picked up in Mos Eisley following a series of likely-unrelated explosions and blaster bolts. Offering his services and skills in exchange for passage, Kabal's proven himself a useful, if eccentric team-member, though at times frustrating. Fond of big guns and even bigger explosives, Kabal's role on the crew revolves around one thing: killing bad guys as loud and messily as possible.[/indent] [/hider]
