The Gungan. I always end up with one in this style of RP, and they always end up being drunkards xD
But yeah he looks fine, so smuggling he'd typically be a co-pilot I presume as you didn't mention any real piloting skills. Which is actually good as we have our primary pilot anyway :P We have our Demoman :P
Sorry if its kind of a cliche. And as to the co-pilot thing I was thinking the same.

Dislikes: Dud explosives People who don't pay Using Guns Cheating When a plan goes to the crapper
Skills and Abilities: Explosives Extraordinaire - Mongo is very familiar with things that go Boom Hand-to-Hand Combatant - Having a fear of guns in this line of work will do that to a guy, though he doesn't follow any sort of traditional style or form Mechanic - Taking things apart and putting them together, it's really all the same when ya look at it. Quiet When He Wants To Be - sometimes it pays to be silent, sometimes a loud drunk attracts less attention Amphibious Species
Weaknesses: - Refuses to use a gun or other Long range weaponry - Has Zero Skill with such weapons, really any weapons - Sometimes Drinks too much
Equipment: Various Explosives Toolbelt Lucky Charms Small Vile of Poison Moneypouch
Bio:
The story of Mongo begins and will probably end with blaster fire. Mongo doesn't remember anything before a couple years ago, hell the only reason he goes by Mongo is because he likes the way it sounds. But that is the first thing he does remember, blaster fire, guns going off everywhere, in the middle of a ship's hull, as he was trying to either fix or sabotage the damned thing before he got shot. Getting out of there was the easy part, it was the whole new life part that was hard, nobody seemed to have any information on him, or at least none that they wanted to share. But Mongo learned quickly that he had a talent for blowing things up and putting them back together, also drinking, he seemed to be quite good at that as well. So, figuring not many people would hire him for the latter, he put himself to work as a smuggler, trying to get a grip on what he was, though he has yet to found out, he has figured out that he isn't half bad at the smuggling game, hell that's all it really is, a game, sometimes he puts things that shouldn't be there on the ship, and sees if he gets caught. if so they win, if not he wins, and he's always been good at games, or at least he thinks he has been.....
The Legend of Mongo is quite a different story however, and it's almost entirely based on rumors that he may or may not have spread about himself. Some say he comes from chaos itself to wreck havoc on those unfortunate enough to get in his way, some say that they could swear that even Sarlacc's cower in fear when you speak his name, some say he can walk through walls and swim through land, that the floor shakes when he leaps and that if you listen closely, you can hear the roar of the engine and a haunting laugh on the wind, but nobody will, because chances are if you wait that long, he's already gone, and he's probably taken your valuables with him, OR, gods forbid, he wants you to know he's there.
Name: Ari Lahayer Sex: Male Date Inducted: September, 2006 Role: Animal Tamer
-Binding: the ability to stop any and prevent any and all movement from one of the harlequins minions, binding it to a specific space in a specific location, Ari is only really able to bind one creature at a time as it takes up much concentration.
-Animal Ken: If one of the harlequin's minions takes the form of a beast or is beast-like (i.e. dragons, chimeras, minotaurs) Ari has the ability to calm it down, making it easier to banish or fight.
-Animal Companions: It's the animals that really make the act and every good Lion Tamer knows that. Ari is never without an animal by his side and they can help in various ways, especially when it comes to fighting the Harlequin's minions.
The Current Animals the Circus keeps for Ari's act are: 3 Lions 2 Bears 1 Gorilla 1 Tiger
The one thing that had always fascinated Steve Irwin was animals, the beauty, found even in the most dangerous of creatures, was amazing, he married a woman who thought and felt the same as he did, and life was good for a Husband, conversationalist, world renowned "Crocodile Hunter", but still Steve could feel his death approaching, in the way that those so connected to the earth often do. In his dream one October night he was visited by a strange being, who offered him a deal, give up his fame,and live forever protecting this planet and the creatures on it that he loved so much, it was a hard decision to make, but Steve made it.
So, on the night of his death, The Keeper took him and remade him, giving him a new form and in order to keep his sanity, because the world needed him to not go running back to his wife and daughter, taking his memories as well. As a result, Ari remembers very little about his life before the circus, but he doesn't overly care though, he takes life one day, one act, one hour at a time, and has an absolute ball doing it.
Other: The only other really odd thing about Ari is that he is almost always accompanied by an animal of some kind, these animals tend to be tame, bears trailing behind him, tigers purring at his side, that kind of thing
You work the everyday, the 9-5 isn't just your lifestyle, it IS your life; work, home, bed, repeat, work, home, bed, repeat, work, home, bed, repeat. So imagine your excitement then when you encounter a poster, a flyer for the Cirque of Sorrows, a circus like your grandfather used to talk about; Acrobats who could fly, Magical Magicians, and animals that came up to you and could rip your nose right off your face if it weren't for the skilled handlers who worked with them. So you go, you're there and the show's about to start, you start thinking about how maybe you forgot to...oh look there he is now, The Lion Tamer. As he comes out, dressed in nothing but some loose fitting baggy pants, his raven hair hanging in his face, he smiles at the crowd and you can see that his eyes are a strange hue that speaks to something inside you on a primal level. He began circling a large animal, some sort of feline form, the wild eyes clearly sizing up the man, the muscles tensing, the crouched hunting stance, and the man didn't see it. He was busy embracing and addressing the crowd, his arms wide spread, facing away from the animal, it was as if he were photosynthesizing off of the crowd's adulation. The beast licked its chops, leaned back on its haunches, and pounced. The man still didn't see it, and the ferocity and hunger apparent in the eyes of the striped feline spoke of nothing but murder most feral. the claws inches from his face, the man spun, but he was too late, the claws and fangs awaited his.....wait, the tiger faltered? It was licking the palm of The Man? What had happened, the large predatory animal was acting like nothing but a trained house cat, but...but.....
"Now ladies and gentlemen, Let us get to the real event eh?" With a chuckle from him and the crowd, the performer turned his eyes from his spectators and walked back and forth in front of the audience, you noticed that the Tiger followed his every movement. You couldn't help but think that the tiger, despite acting like a trained house cat, had lost none of it's primality, and you knew that this was indeed the real deal. You look back up at The Animal Tamer as he gestures to something with his other hand and suddenly a curtain is ripped off of a very large cage and inside, snarling with the ferocity of a prehistoric titan, was the largest Gorilla you had ever seen, it wasn't Hollywood sized, but it was definitely bigger and angrier than any seen at the zoo when you went with your 2.5 kids. Something inside yourself felt very small as the beast beat its chest and roared at the crowd, it's eyes filled with nothing but animal rage, The man stepped over to the cage and quickly slid the lock into the unlocked position, you sat back, suddenly feeling very cynical that this wasn't a trained animal, hell, he had practically let the man open the....ouch that must have hurt, you think to yourself as the gorilla rips from the cage and flings the man aside like a rag doll, leaping its way toward the crowd, freedom and rage swelling in its eyes as everybody under the tent began to make for the exits and you yourself, feeling the cold embrace of reality suddenly grip every iota of your being in a paralytic grasp. The ape was gaining, it was heading right for you, it could clearly smell your fear, and suddenly it was upon you, pinning you to the ground, roaring in your face, about to devour your nose, and probably other parts of you as well, this was it for you, the final goodbye, torn apart by a giant gorilla.
"ENOUGH!!!!!" The shout was more animal than human, and in a very primal part of yourself you froze, unable or unwilling to do anything else, but you saw as well that the gorilla froze, seeming to almost be immobile, it turned around and faced the wild-eyed man, the rage still coming off of the large monkey in almost mist-like waves. The two locked eyes and you could tell that a battle of wills was going on, and at the end, The gorilla hung its head and walked back into the cage from whence it had come. The crowd made their way back to their seats, the man took his place in front of them, and bowed. The crowd went wild, applause from every direction and the Lion tamer just ate it up, closing his eyes and holding his hands out as if to embrace the crowd. As the Animal Tamer walked off the stage, you thought to yourself that your instincts had been right, this truly was one of the real ones.
