About Kotar SojaCHARACTER SUMMARY:
Race: Kasatha
"I only use Adamantine Tipped Robot Killers for my ammo!" ~ Kotar Soja BACKGROUND:
10 Minute Background MAIN CONCEPT AND BACKGROUND 1. Kotar Soja grew up on the deserts of Kasath and was taken from the planet when he had just became an adult by the Androffans. The Androffans were using the Kasathas as enslaved front line troops because of their ignorance with technology, resiliency, dexterity, heathen viciousness, and (2) extra arms. 2. Kotar was captured by the crew of the Divinity. The Divinity was a multi-use war ship and one of its functions was to capture aliens and train them for front-line battle. This process starts almost right when they are captured by placing a control collar on the Kasatha including Kotar. 3. Androffans trained Kotar in the Androffan language, their tech, and martial arts. If he complied, he was rewarded with a luxury. If not, he was punished. Any Kasatha that revolted or killed an Androffan were forced out of the air lock to their demise. 4. All aliens were placed into stasis pods to save room and to be more time efficient since they only required (2) hours of sleep to be fully rested and refreshed. And Kotar was in such a pod when the Divinity ran into a major problem and crashed on Golarion. The ship fragmented into pieces and Kotar stasis chamber with him inside was one of the strewn pieces across Numeria. There he would remain for a long time until his stasis pod reached mean time between failures or MTBF that all technical equipment reach. In addition to his stasis pod failing, his collar did as well so he was no longer technologically bound to the Androffans. 5. Besides being held in stasis for over 9,000 years, unfortunate for Kotar, his extended stasis sleep time has left his family on Kasath dead. To add further insult to injury, the ship's equipment and armory module were no where to be seen. Being adapted to desert life, Kotar had no problems with navigating Numeria. At first, he had a hard time stomaching the food but his resiliency and fortitude adapted to what was edible on Golarion. "Life always finds a way." 6. Kotar wandered the desert until he came upon Torch. He found some discarded clothes and covered himself up a little more to hide his alien features and look more like a desert nomad. He then wandered the streets a bit until he came upon a Numerian salvage vendor, Minse Bason owner of Salvage Wargs, who was having a hard time deciphering words on an Androffan device. Kotar still had the translator that was attached to his clothing during enslavement receiving and told Minse, "RADIOACTIVE! DO NOT PUSH UNLESS PROTECTED! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BIO-LIFE FORMS!" He then explained to Minse that it was dangerous to him and others unless he and other people were wearing Androffan special clothing. Minse looked at Kotar, "You need a job, considered yourself hired?!" Minse did not care who, what, or where Kotar came from. All he knew is the stranger could talk to him and translate Androffan which equated to dollar signs for Minse. 7. Later the translator also failed but not until Kotar learn Golarion Common. 8. when Minse asks him about a device, Kotar does not always get it right because years in stasis has caused some physical and memory loss. <Extra Points Reserved for Party Synergy if Chosen> GOALS Like all Goals, subject to change. An extra annoying Technic League or other occurrences may change his goals. [Short-Term] - Although he can read Androffan and has a knack for technology, long term stasis causes memory loss so it is one of Kotar's hobbies to keep up on Androffan, Androffan Tech, and fill in the Technology gaps he has. [Mid-Term] - To own his own salvage shop, be worry free, and to have a vault filled with Androffan creations as well as his own he made from Androffan technology. [Long-Term] - Using Androffan parts, build a ship to visit Kasatha and see if he really misses or not. It was his home eons ago and a part of him still remains there. SECRETS Known - Unknown to his friends (the party), he was trained by the people who's tech is strewn across Numeria. Unknown - Unknown to Kotar, the Technic League has taken an unhealthy interest in Kotar for both study and put him into their service just like the Androffans. CONTACTS/ENEMY 1. His current salvage buddies and/or other friends in Torch (the party since it states in the guide, we are already formed and know each other). 2. Kotar's current employer at the Salvage Shop, Minse Bason. Since Kotar knows a few things about Androffan technology, he has been making good coin for his employer. Enemy: Any remaining Androffan military or security robots or androids with full undamaged NVRAM may see Kotar as an escapee and issue capture or punishment protocol. In addition, the Technic League shows a great interest in Kotar and for all the wrong reasons. MEMORIES 1. "RUN KOTAR, THEY ARE COMING!" "THEY ARE COMING!" "THEY ARE COMING!" 2. "You are all now property of the Androffan Military!" "If you comply, your life will be real easy and perhaps you can even become citizens?" "If not, you are going to have a very bad stay with us and maybe end up an ice cube floating in space." "THE CHOICE IS YOURS!" 3. "I wasn't called by my name on the Divinity, I had a number." "It was K0385!" "I guess that is better than Ice Cube?!" 4. "Where am I?" "No Enslavers, No family!" "Nothing but death and destruction!" "At least the land looks like home." CURRENT WORK Kotar is currently a Numerian Salvage Archaeologist at the Salvage Wargs which is owned by Minse Bason. Currently, Minse is grooming Kotar to be a salvager due to other skill sets and abilities Kotar possess. However before any salving can be done, the Technic League needs to be taken cared of. In addition, he assists in repairing items that Minse gives him. Since he has been sitting on his butt at Salvage Wargs, he has lost some muscle tone. Of course, stasis did not help but it is mainly from sitting on his rear. Taking on the Technic League and becoming a Salvager will help Kotar get back that fighting muscle. HOBBIES Kotar has a few hobbies; 1. Keeping up with his current Androffan knowledge that he remembers. 2. Learning new or relearning Androffan Tech since long term stasis caused memory loss (By level 4, he will have the Technologist Feat and further High Tech Weapon knowledge at levels 5 and 6). 3. Remember the past by creating a Kasatha Spinal Sword out of modern or Androffan materials and balanced for Monk use. CHARACTER:
Kotar Soja is slender, tall (6'5"), he has blue eyes that seem to gleam with wisdom beyond this world, and he wears bright colored hot weather gear which covers his alien features so he blends in with other Torch citizens but it is not a disguise. He has two bandoleers that crisscross his chest filled with metal firearm cartridges and contents in the larger pockets. On his back, is a high quality leather backpack and an old battered rifle. And his gate is as or more graceful than your average elf. Kotar tactic in to fight from a far but if any opponent makes the mistake of getting close, he is just as deadly if not more with his current martial prowess. As Kotar gains experience and martial prowess, he will be deadly at any range especially with Androffan weapons and will be able to flurry with them. CRUNCH:

When a ranged attack is made against the gunslinger, she can spend 1 grit point to move 5 feet as an immediate action; doing so grants the gunslinger a +2 bonus to AC against the triggering attack. This movement is not a 5-foot step, and provokes attacks of opportunity. Alternatively, the gunslinger can drop prone to gain a +4 bonus to AC against the triggering attack.

Devoted Guardian +0 (Ex): At 1st level, a Sohei can always act in a surprise round even if he does not notice his enemies, though he remains flat-footed until he acts.

Improved Unarmed Strike: Unarmed strikes don't cause attacks of opportunity, and can be lethal. Jumper: Kasathas are always considered to have a running start when attempting Acrobatics checks to jump. Multi-Armed: A kasatha has four arms. One hand is considered its primary hand; all others are considered off hands. It can use any of its hands for other purposes that require free hands. Numerian Archaeologist: Numeria is a land ripe for archaeological exploration. You gain Androffan as an additional language. In addition, you possess a knack for technological items; when you use a timeworn technological item, roll twice when determining any glitches the item might cause and choose which result to use as your actual result. Point-Blank Shot: +1 to attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at up to 30 feet. Power Attack -1/+2: You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage. Rapid Reload (Rifle): You can reload fast with one type of Crossbow or Firearm. Resilient: Growing up in a poor neighborhood or in the unforgiving wilds often forced you to subsist on food and water from doubtful sources. You've built up your constitution as a result. Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saves. Weapon Proficiencies: Simple, Martial, All Firearms (Including Advance Technology), and Monk Weapons. Spinal Sword Proficiency: Kasathas treat kasatha spinal swords as martial weapons. Hero Lab and the Hero Lab logo are Registered Trademarks of LWD Technology, Inc.

ABOUT THE PLAYER:
I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons and many other games off and on since 1981, through elementary school, high school, the military, college, and now. Most of my early playing time was table top. After moving in 2005 and unable to find a good local group, I joined The Only Sheet board, one other board, and ended up here. Since then, this has been my home and it will continue to be. I am currently in a cool Zeitgeist Game, a M6 Game (basically you only level to 6th, but Mythic to 10, using mostly normal rules with a few restrictions), on the other end of the spectrum a crazy cool Multi-Gestalt Monster PC game, and a 5e game. |
