Description: *Queue Draka's Theme Song* A burly vesk with beautifully manicured nails (claws) and hot rod red lipstick stomps into the room. She stands at nearly 7 feet with forest green scales and a powerful tail. When she blinks, a second set of eyelids close over her yellow reptilian eyes. You get the sense that she's "fashion forward" and tests the boundaries of vesk femininity.
Interactions:
She smiles a wide, toothy smile. "Zo personal friend of Draka. Zo promise Draka intergalactic superstar material. Draka just adventuring until Draka sign multi-million credit record deal." Draka helps herself to a chair, her giant form deflating the seat as she sits.
Draka blinks, her several eyelids sliding over and back. "Draka beautiful woman with many talents and charms. Draka pinnacle of feminine beauty and lashunta grace. Haters say Draka look more like Vesk. Draka make haters explode. Hur hur hur." (Kek Kek Kek) The vesk covers her mouth with a claw, but it does little to hide her pointy teeth.
Icon Theme:
Draka has a consistent routine. She starts by making herself a "health" shake consisting of meat and other various items (sometimes a weapon finds its way into the blender.) Then, Draka practices her "yoga" - which looks nothing like yoga except to perhaps other vesk. Throughout the day, Draka records herself on her communicator and uploads the videos. Her videos are a mix of makeup tutorials, "health" and "beauty" videos, and videos of her swinging around her Swoop Hammer. Draka's growing community of followers is still small but slowly growing. In the evening, Draka does a rejuvenating facemask made with the blood of her enemies and re-applies red nail polish to her claws.
Level 6: You are famous enough that pretty much everyone has either heard of you or can quickly find information about you (it’s a DC 10 Culture check to recognize your name and a DC 20 Culture check for someone to recognize you out of context from your appearance alone). Among those who follow your iconic profession, you’ve built up both fans and detractors due to your celebrity. If you’re looking for a generic person like “a doctor who can treat this disease,” you can almost always find one who’s a fan and whose attitude starts as friendly or helpful to you; this takes 2d4 hours. At the GM’s discretion, fans might give you services (although not goods) for a discount or even for free.
Movement Options
Speed: 30 (+10 Rapid Response) (-5 Lashunta ringwear II Armor) = 35 feet Jet Dash: When running, you move six times your land speed. Whenever you jump, double the height and distance you can jump. While running, you don’t gain the flat-footed condition. Normal: You move four times your land speed and gain the flat-footed condition while running
Step Up: Take a guarded step as a reaction to an adjacent foe moving
Mobility: You gain a +4 bonus to your Armor Class against attacks of opportunity that you provoke by leaving a threatened square. Charge Attack: As a standard action, you can make a charge without the charge penalties (see page 248), and you can substitute a bull rush for the melee attack at the end of the charge. When you gain the soldier’s onslaught class feature, you can make two attacks instead of one at the end of your charge, both with a –4 penalty.
---> Charge: Charging is a full action that allows you to move up to double your speed and make a melee attack at the end of the movement. You can draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1.

Armor savant: Vesk use armor in a way that complements their uniquely sturdy physiology. When wearing armor, they gain a +1 racial bonus to AC. When they’re wearing heavy armor, their armor check penalty is 1 less severe than normal.
Low-light vision: Vesk can see in dim light as if it were normal light. For more details, see page 264
Natural weapons: Vesk are always considered armed. They can deal 1d3 lethal damage with unarmed strikes and the attack doesn’t count as archaic. Vesk gain a unique weapon specialization with their natural weapons at 3rd level, allowing them to add 1–1/2 × their character level to their damage rolls for their natural weapons (instead of just adding their character level, as usual).

Ring of Sustenance (2,925 credits - looted) This ring provides you with life-sustaining nourishment, negating the need for food or drink while the ring is worn. Additionally, the ring’s magic refreshes your body and mind while worn, so you need only 2 hours of sleep each day to gain the benefits of 8 hours of rest. If you cast spells, you can prepare spells after only 2 hours, but you still can’t prepare spells more than once per day. The ring must be worn for a full week before its magic takes effect, and if removed you must wear it for another week to reattune it to you.[/spoiler]
