[/hider] [hider=Couriers Holonet Ad] [b] Name:Torzas Mallom [/b] [b] Species: Human[/b] [b] Age: 19[/b] [b] Gender: Male[/b] [b] Specialisation: He isn't anything special, just a simple Nerf Herder[/b] [b] Current area of operation: Nerf Herder[/b] [b] Known Skills: He is very skilled at talking to animals, and calming them down whent they get angry or excited. The same could be said for humans. He is a people person, surprisingly.[/b] [b] Trained Techniques: Has developed his own little system of lying and honesty so he knows who to lie to and when he should.[/b] [b] Known associates: Issiro Mallom, his cousin.[/b] [b] Favored Equipment and clothes: He is very fond of a long sheperds cane he uses to reign in his nerfs, and the small red amulet he made for Issiro and him when they were children.[/b] [b] Personality type: Torzas is usually not the type to anger other people, if anything he likes to please as many people as he can as possible, and does everything he can so that people don't dislike him. However, he doesn't truly care for other human beings in the sense that he values their input, he just thinks them hating him would be a bigger inconvience than them adoring him. He can't bring himself to feel compassion or even actual hatred toward other people, and only ever sees the things he says and does as a means of advancing his own life. Note, while he is very unempathetic, this means he also can't hate people as stated before. If someone is rude to him, he thinks its bad, but not because it actually hurts his feelings, but because he knows there is probably a reason for why that person dislikes him. He's much more likely to hate himself, than to hate other people.[/b] [b] Known flaws: He isn't aware of his own sociopathy, and only cares about one person truly in his entire life, Issiro. He doesn't care if other people live, or die or if his actions somehow hurt or endanger someone else as long as that someone isn't Issiro. He just needs to be more self aware about his own mental condition, yet he builds walls to protect that ignorant mindset rather than learn something about himself. He has developed whole systems of Lies and Truths, in order for him to better effectively lie to people he has just met, or who he has to be around for long periods of time. The only person he doesn't lie to is Issiro, mainly because he feels he doesn't have to, because he and Issiro are working together in a sense.[/b] [/hider] [hider=Couriers Holonet Metadata Summary] [h3][sub]Detailed appearance.

He's also very good at talking to animals and calming them down, which can come in handy when he needs an animal to help him. [h3][sub]Report on known combat experience, training and weapons training.[/sub][/h3] He was never trained in anyway combat wise, he just whacks people with his sheperds cane when he feels threatened, which isn't the most effective way of fighting. [h3][sub]Does the Courier have, or have they ever had, a bounty on them? Are they wanted?[/sub][/h3] They aren't wanted by law, more so they're being hunted by Issiro's vindictive sith master who has had it out for them ever since Issiro's father managed to make it into the academy. [h3][sub]Detailed notes on common/favored employers and any noteworthy contacts. [/sub][/h3] Issiro Mallom, his cousin.

[h3][sub]List and description of other known associates.[/sub][/h3] Gyles Steine is a friend of Torzas though they haven't exactly been the most talkative of buddies. Gyles lived in a small little village near where Torzas and Issiro's farm was, and often helped them get things they couldn't otherwise buy for themselves. Neither of them ever asked where Gyles got the these things for them, they just agreed that the sentiment was nice and to accept the gift. Gyles is always looking out for the both of them, but he shares a closer bond with Torzas than Issiro, seemingly because Torzas is the one who talks to him when they need something. Gyles has grown somewhat attached, but Torzas doesn't really know this and just considers him to be a friend.

[/hider] [/hider] [hider=Biogroaphy] Torzas Mallom was born to two loving parents on a small, almost deserted planet with nothing but Nerfs called Plooma. When he was very little, his parents were both called forth by the Empire to serve in the military in some way, and both ended up dead. He was then raised by his Uncle, and that's when he met Issiro. He and Issiro share a very close bond, and they're practically brothers seeing how they were raised together. Torzas is always looking out for Issiro, and was the only person that Torzas actually cared for in the world. Torzas hated his Uncle even before his Uncle discovered his force powers, and decided to try and join with the Empire. At the very young age of 4, he had begun having unpleasant thoughts about all the horrible things he could do to his Uncle as a means of punishment. Of course, these thoughts never went past being somewhat disturbing, and Torzas never acted on them, or told anyone about them. Not even Issiro. His uncle owned a Nerf Farm, and that was what they were raised to do, Herd Nerfs. While the life he led wasn't exciting, Torzas found he enjoyed having a boring, uneventful life. For him, all he needed was Issiro, and a plain lifestyle. If he had all of those things, he could be content forever. When they were 10, Issiro got taken for Force training, and it was by then that Torzas knew that Issiro was Force Sensitive and that this strange ability to hear the Nerfs thoughts came from the Force. However, Torzas didn't want Issiro to be taken away from their farm to lead a sith life, he knew that if Issiro did decide to leave for the Academy, or even some place else he wouldn't be able to follow him. Torzas was not Force Sensitive in any way, and he could feel the withering disdain and pompous attitude of the sith lord who came to administer the testing. Yaris Rhevir was a man of many words, often going on long tirades on just about anything. Torzas didn't like him, and he could tell that Yaris hated him as well. There are few people that Torzas can say he actually likes, and one of those people would happen to be a long time friend Gyles Steine. He met Gyles Steine when he was about the age of 11, and their Uncle had been long gone to the Sith Academy instead of Issiro. He and Gyles used to talk all the time when they were little, but as time went on he stopped talking to Gyles so much and started to look after Issiro. It wasn't until Torzas had turned 16 that Gyles began to give them "gifts", things that they wouldn't be able to get on Plooma. Torzas always thought about asking why Gyles even gave them these things, ranging from old droid parts to clothing, but he couldn't muster the strength to. Something about their relationship being so strained on Torzas' part made him stop everytime he wanted to speak to Gyles, and it never let up. Gyles kept obliging though, and he never once expressed regret or disdain toward Torzas, for which he was grateful for. When Torzas was 19, and Issiro had run off to join the Sith Academy, Torzas was all alone and had no one to talk to. He found himself talking to Gyles again after all those years of just "Hello" and "How have you been", and honestly if it weren't for Gyles being there for him when he was being there for Issiro all those years, than he probably would've snapped being all by himself on the farm. It was at this point that Torzas considered Gyles to be a friend, and not begrudingly too. It took years, but Gyles had finally found a place in Torzas' life other than just an aquiantance, or neighbor. When Issiro came back with an Overseer of all people, Torzas could sense his anxiety and unease tangibly, like a pressure on his skin. He wanted to tell Issiro that it was fine, but then Haler kept taunting Issiro and making him feel terrible for being a Nerf Herder of all things, and that's when the unthinkable happened. The stampede was headed by Egg, their pet Nerf, who gladly ran Haler over killing him. Issiro was distraught though he wasn't expressing that vocally, and Torzas was too busy thinking of what to do next. It was his idea to bury Haler away from their house, and then try to run away to somewhere, because obviously someone would come looking for Haler sooner or later, and seeing how that someone was definitely Yaris Rhevir it made sense to run. Torzas suggested the idea, all the while wondering how he was supposed to ask Gyles for something as massive as a get away ship? The idea of telling him that he assisted in covering up murder made him sick a little, because if there was one person he didn't want to disappoint, it would be him. And that's where the adventure left off... [/hider]
